==Synopsis==
==Plot==
Red takes part in a bike race but when it starts, he finds himself far behind everyone. However, he catches up when everyone stops at a river filled with {{p|Tentacruel}}. After wondering why only one person is crossing at a time, Red is told by a [[Swimmer]] that Pokémon are allowed to be used in the race. Thinking quickly, he sends out his {{p|Poliwrath}} in order to freeze the river with its {{m|Ice Beam}}. Red then rides his bike across the ice and gains a lead over most of the other racers. The race is going as planned until he reaches a fork in the road. One road goes through a thick forest while the other goes around it. Ignoring the warning of a [[Bug Catcher]], Red decides to keep his lead by going through the forest. In order to go through the forest, he has his {{p|Pikachu}} shock all of the wild Pokémon and his {{p|Bulbasaur}} cut all the thick brush. Suddenly, a {{p|Beedrill}} hive falls on Bulbasaur's head, and many Beedrill begin to chase them. Emerging from the forest, Red rejoices about the fact that he is far ahead from most of the rest, even though he has many bee-stings. When he arrives at Route 12, he finds the swimmer and the bug catcher stuck at the dock. There is a {{p|Snorlax}} blocking the part of the pier that leads to the finish line. When none of his Pokémon's attacks work, Red comes up with a plan. He uses his honey-covered Bulbasaur to lure Snorlax from his sleep. It works, and the Snorlax chases him to the finish line as he wins the race. Red, after winning 10,000 dollars in the race, is forced to spend it all on food for his newly caught Snorlax.

Red takes part in a bike race along Route 11, having borrowed a Bicycle from the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman, but when it starts, he finds himself far behind everyone. However, he catches up when everyone stops at a river filled with Tentacruel, forcing the cyclists to cross one at a time—all except for a Swimmer who informs him that Pokémon are allowed to be used in the race. Watching the Swimmer get across on his Slowpoke gives Red an idea, and he sends out Poli in order to make a bridge of ice using Ice Beam, allowing Red to gain considerable ground.

Reaching a fork, Red finds the other cyclists opting to go the longer way instead of a shorter route through a forest infested by Bug Pokémon. Ignoring the warning of a Bug Catcher, Red decides to keep his lead by going through the forest, by having Pika shock all of the wild Pokémon and Saur cut through the thick brush. Suddenly, a Beedrill hive falls on Saur's head, and Red finds himself fleeing from the ensuing Beedrill swarm. Eventually, Red trundles out of the forest, wincing from Beedrill stings but nevertheless far ahead, at which he and his Pokémon rejoice.

At Route 12, Red finds the Swimmer and the Bug Catcher stuck at the dock, unable to continue due to a Snorlax blocking the way ahead. Red tries getting Poli to attack Snorlax, but the attack fails; the Swimmer and Bug Catcher point out that Snorlax would simply Rest off any attack thrown at it. Coming up with a plan, Red uses the Beedrill honey still coating his Bulbasaur to rouse Snorlax from his sleep—as a result, the awoken Snorlax chases after Red for the honey all the way to the finish line; the sight shocking the announcer and onlookers. Some time later, Red mopes over how the 10,000 dollars he won in the race had to be all spent on his newly caught Snorlax...
