The athletes are now under starting orders. On your marks! Get set! Bang! The race began swiftly as flygon, Noivern and Dragonite flew out starting out quickly. On the other side of the spectrum Hydreigon, Talonflame and Gliscor who were all off to a bad start. Dragonite quickly pulled ahead as both Noivern and flygon had begun to fall behind. Staraptor and Braviary were flying together neck and neck and had flown past the pack to now be tied for 2^nd, behind them was Noivern who was followed by Lugia and the rest of the pack. Gliscor who was simply gliding through the air was currently behind. Dragonite continued to lead as he continued to fly at a steady quick pace. Braviary had now taken second as was trying to close the gap between him and Dragonite. Lugia flew up and was now slightly ahead of staraptor however he wasn’t alone. Salamence had also had a speed boost and came flying up and was now flying alongside staraptor. Noivern was right behind them followed by the rest of the pack. Gliscor realizing he was falling behind, quickly unleashed a burst of speed which allowed him to catch up to 11^th place Hydreigon.

 

Dragonite continued to fly and Braviary was fairly close behind him. No matter how hard Braviary pushed dragonite maintained the same amount of distance ahead, answering Bravairy’s boost with his own. Noivern unleashed a burst of speed which allowed him to catch up to Lugia and fly ahead of him to take third place. Staraptor, Flygon, Salamence, Aerodactyl and Crobat were all close together trying to get ahead of each other while Talomflame flew in 10^th followed by Gliscor then Hydreigon.

 

Dragonite pulled ahead and began speeding up towards the finish line and Braviary could no longer keep up and began to lower its pace in an attempt to catch its breath. Lugia quickly passed by him and took second. Braviary saw this and still didn’t respond. More and More competitors passed the member from team generation 5. He had fallen straight from 2^nd to 7^th place. Dragonite had a monstrous lead and the only Pokémon somewhat close to him was now Lugia. Noivern and Staraptor were now fighting hard trying to take third place. They were neck and neck flying past each other falling behind the other and sometimes pulling ahead. Behind them was Flygon who was now flying as fast as he could trying to catch up and take the third place. Salamence, Aerodactyl and Crobat were giving Braviary a run for it money as they all raced to secure event points. Talonflame had kicked into his sprinting form and was flying fast however the distance between him and the others was great. Hydreigon had now left Gliscor behind and was flying to make sure he didn’t come last.

 

Dragonite flew passed the line easily securing first place. Lugia was coming in for a fairly easy second however behind him was Staraptor and Noivern, both Pokémon were racing neck and neck towards the line but Lugia had passed it before they could catch up. Staraptor pulled ahead and headed for the finish line in third. The race for 5^th was heating up as well as Braviary had now unleashed his second burst. He was flying fast leaving aerodactyl, Salamence and Crobat in the dust. He had now caught up to flygon and pushed harder finally passing the dragon type, however it was short lived. Flygon unleashed a burst of speed flying past bravairy and quickly catching up to Noivern and Staraptor. Staraptor had now crossed the line 3^rd but Noivern was flying in hard trying to secure the 4^th position. Flygon was breathing right down his neck and his crept closer and closer to him due to his last burst of speed. The line was right there he had just seen staraptor pass it but Flygon was right on his tail. They were neck and neck as they crossed the finish line. Noivern had managed to take 4^th position by a nose forcing flygon to settle for 5^th. Braviary who had unleased his second wind came in slow for a 6^th place finish. The battle for 7^th place however was heating up. Salamence, Aerodactyl and Crobat were all racing towards the line each of them giving it their all to try to take one of the last 2 event point spots. Aerodactyl and Salamence pulled ahead of Crobat who had begun using all 4 of his wings to fly instead of alternating them. It gave him a burst of speed but he still couldn’t keep up. Salamence gave it his all and managed to pull ahead of aerodactyl right before the line taking 7^th place. Aerodactyl had to settle for 8^th while crobat came 9^th. Not long after they crossed the finish line Talonflame came in red hot for the 10^th spot. Talonflame had been closing the distance between him and the 3 for a while but it wasn’t enough for him to pass even one of them. The race only had two competitors left, Hydreigon and Gliscor and Hydreigon was first out of the two and kept putting more and more distance between him and gliscor to secure his 11^th place leaving Gliscor to place last.
