Participating Players: Mari, anyone else interested
Participating Characters: Haruka Tenoh, anyone with a large enough Pokémon (no birds)
Requested Plot: Now that everyone has Ponyta things ought to calm down for Union and many people have bonded with new Pokémon, what if some Union official approached Haruka (offscreen) and requested she serve as the face of a grand multi-species Pokémon race? It'd be set up like an obstacle course the way I've described Rhyhorn racing, but anyone who can fit on the back of their non-flying Pokémon would be eligible to register. There'd be an OOC signup where people could list their character and the Pokémon they'd be riding.

Haruka wouldn't run in the race herself, but she'd end up shouldering signups and she'd serve as the referee and master of ceremonies. Prizes would be awarded to the first, second, and third-place winners, and people could thread out both the race itself and events in the stands. If there wasn't a clear winner by the end of a week or so of play I'd RNG the participants to see who won.
