Nolan looked over at Chris. Chris looked excited about being in the wilderness for a week, but Nolan was worried about Phanpy and his weakness to water. He had an idea. "OK everyone, go get started!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - It hadn't started to rain yet, so Nolan used it to his advantage. "Pidgey, find the biggest tree you can." Nolan ordered. Pidgey came back and led them to the tree. It was about 13 feet wide. "Good job Pidgey. Alright, Bayleef and Phanpy, start digging a house in the tree. Pidgey, come help me find food." The next day, the house was done. There was a storing tree nearby. A fireplace was in front of the home. Through a hole was the house. There was a fireplace, a bed, and three chairs. It was a nice, cozy, and dry house. It had been raining for about 9 hours now. Nolan was sleeping on the bed, and the Pokemon were sleeping on the chairs. Two days later, a BIG Ursaring attacked. Pidgey evolved while defending Nolan and the others. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Soon, the week was over. Chris had made a Tent with leaves and sticks. Remoraid had enjoyed the week in a pond. Even though everyone had fun, they were glad to return to their SQ. Soon it was time for challenge 4. Tyler told everyone, "Everyone did well last week. Now, you are almost done. This challenge is a hard one. You must make a boat, and race it. The rules are on the sheet I'm passing out. Make sure to read it! Good luck." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nolan read over the sheet. "Alright gang. We have to make a boat using Pokemon and race it. We can use any attacks and a tree. That's it. OK, Bayleef, you cut down a tree. Phanpy, you dig the middle big enough for me to sit in. Pidgeotto, you find big leaves for the sail. I'll put it together. Let's go!" Bayleef brought back a big tree cut in half. Phanpy dug out the middle and I put up the sail from Pidgeotto's leaves. Soon it was time to race. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The next day was the race. Everyone lined up their boats. Tyler's Feraligatr shot water into the air, telling us to go. "OK, Pidgeotto, Gust to push us along." Pidgeotto obeyed and soon he was moving really fast. But Chris and his Remoraid propelled boat were catching up fast. Soon, Nolan and Chris were in the lead. They both kept pulling up a little farther, then the other would pass. Soon, they were about to cross the finish line. They were both next to each other. "Come on Pidgeotto, faster!" Nolan shouted. He was almost there...
