As the sun was coming over the horizon dozens of trainers were already headed to Hell's Gate. A podium stood off to the side and banners were hung everywhere. Police were directing traffic for the few trainers that could drive. Shino's semi was up front and pointed at the Gate. Gary parked his blue convertible on the left side of Shino's semi. Gary and Ash both got out and looked around. More people were headed their way. Ash turned to Gary with his hand out. "Good luck Gary." Ash says shaking Gary's hand. "You too Ash." Gary replies. They split up and mingle with the other trainers. About an hour goes by and Gary pounds on Shino's truck. The door whips open and Shino glares down at Gary. Gary gulps and says "I would like to speak to Karen." Shino yells for her and she stands next to Shino. Her hair is wrapped up in a towel and she is wearing a robe. "Whatcha want?" She asked happily. Gary looks at her and says "I was wondering if you were going to ride with me today?" "Of course. I am getting my things together now. I'll be ready shortly." She replies and disappears back into the truck. Shino closes the door and disappears as well. Gary lets out a huge sigh and smiles. "Just wait." He says to himself. Meanwhile Ash is getting his provisions when he bumps into a girl with long red hair. Before he can apologize to her she disappears into the crowd. More trainers arrive and it is quickly packed so Ash heads back to Shino's semi. Just before he could knock on the door it opens and a duffel bag flies out hitting him in the face. He got up and bumped straight into Karen's chest. Shino grabbed Ash's shoulder and pulled him out. "Don't want you to start grabbing. That would be bad." Shino says as Ash's face turns red realizing where he just was. Shino puts Karen's bags into Gary's car. Gary is just beaming with joy. Karen puts a small box onto his dashboard and Shino hooks it up. "What is that?" Gary asks. "Its a CB radio." Karen replies. Gary rolls his eyes. The crowd starts to cheer as Prof. Willow stands at the podium. "Ladies and Gentleman. Trainers of all ages. Today is truly a day we can all be proud of. For a few reasons. The first reason being the obvious. We are starting our official league today. Another we have two of the greatest pokemon trainers in the world. Ash and Gary (the crowd cheers) here to compete as well as our own infamous Shino (the crowd goes nuts). Who in fact made history yesterday. When he started he had a total of 9,236 victories and when he defeated the 774 contestants that gave him over 10,000 wins in a row. He has the most pokemon battles won in a row of all time! (again the crowds goes nuts. Shino simply waves to the crowd.) Now in 5 minutes the gate will open and you will be off. Good luck to all of you!" Prof. Willow says and walks off. Shino loads Ash's stuff into his semi as Maurice walks up with a evil grin on his face. "Whatever you are planning I am not falling for it." Shino says when he sees Maurice. "Oh come on all I have to say is why not make a friendly little wager." Maurice says winking at Gary. "And what would that be?" Shino asks. "As you are aware Shino the next town is just over 100 miles from here. And its almost down hill all the except the last 10 miles or so. (In case any readers are wondering the next town is in a cave below the ocean.) Why not have a friendly little race between your semi and Gary's convertible?" Maurice explains. "What does the winner get?" Gary asks. "Just an all expense paid night out on the town by yours truly and a room at the most luxurious hotel in town." Maurice says. "Figures." Shino replies. "I'm in!" Gary says. Shino shrugs and shakes Gary's hand. They climb into their vehicles as news quickly spreads about the bet. Maurice smiles wickedly. "Why aren't we walking to the next town? I want to catch some pokemon." Ash asks. "Because there are no pokemon till we get to the second town. All the trainers who don't drive will be taking the bike route which is a small road on the side of the major road. Besides no one will be battling each other till the second town. They want to be first to get the first badge." Shino explains as he double checks everything. Karen looks over at Gary and smiles. "Relax." She says and pats his shoulder. Tonight I will be spending the night with her and with any luck she will forget all about that loser. I got a car and he has a semi this will be a piece of cake." Gary says to himself. The gate starts to open and Gary revs his engine. Shino laughs and revs his as well and drowns out Gary's. The gate opens completely and off they go. Gary takes off like a shot leaving Shino behind. Several other cars pass Shino as well as a few bikes. But as Shino gains speed he passes a few cars and all the bikes that passed him. Scizor gets up and looks out the window. "You let him talk you into another race didn't you." Scizor says shaking his head and heading back to the bunk. A few moments later anime music is heard and Ash looks back. "What are you watching Scizor?" He asks. "It's called Ai Yori Aoshi." Scizor replies slightly annoyed. "Is that a girl's show? Ash asks. Scizor growls and replies "No. It is considered a romance. Say another word about it and your precious Pikachu becomes breakfast." Ash turns back to the road. He notices that the scenery is whipping by and glances at the speedometer. "Are we really going 175 mph?" Ash asks. "No. We are going 190 mph. The speedometer tops out at 175 mph." Shino replies. Ash looked forward again and saw that the road disappeared. Suddenly they were headed into the mouth of a cave. Shino grabs the CB mic and says "Demon Goddess are you listening?" A second later A voice from the box replies "Yes Demon God. Where are ya at?" "On my way. Only a few miles behind you." He says. "Well better hurry. Gary seems pretty eager to take me out tonight. Who knows he may get lucky?" A minute later a small blue car comes into view. "Heh" Shino says flipping a switch. Fire shoots out the side of the front end. "Look behind you Demon Goddess." Shino says laughing. Gary looks in his review mirror and sees a fireball chasing him. He freaks out and hits the gas harder pushing the car to its limits. Shino turns the fire off and easily catches up to Gary. Then passes him and keeps going. "Get behind him and ride his bumper. What ever you do don't take your foot off the gas." Karen says. The road levels out again and both of them aren't letting up. Shino's truck starts to lose speed because the momentum from the hill wore off. Gary pulls into the next lane and starts to pass Shino. As they do Scizor jumps out and lands in the backseat making Gary jump. "What the hell are you doing here?" Gary asks. "Don't worry about him he isn't going to do anything to cheat you. Just keep going." Karen says. Just before the finish line Scizor jumps out and grabs the back of the car. He starts to slow it down as Gary brakes. They cross the finish line and moments later Shino barrels by in a cloud of smoke with all 18 wheels locked up. He stops and and gets out of the truck. Maurice walks up as the two racers shake hands. "Congratulations Gary. As promised you win an all expense paid night out with the gorgeous Karen. Plus the suite at the best hotel in town. Enjoy." Maurice says laughing. Shino grabs Karen's hand and kneels. He kisses her hand and says "See you tomorrow." He gets up and turns toward Ash. "Ready for that Gym badge?" Shino asks.
