Pokémon Triathlon
The Pokémon Triathalon is an event that concludes a student's participation in the Pokémon Summer Academy located in Sinnoh, which is then followed by a bonfire. It is a three part race where the competitors don't use any of their own Pokémon, but borrow those of the school.
Students start at the academy simultaneously. When the race begins competitors race to a checkpoint to borrow one of the Pokémon available and then are required to ride on the Pokémon to the next checkpoint through the woods. When you reach the second checkpoint you then need to return the first Pokémon you borrowed in exchange for a water-type Pokémon, which you then need to ride across the lake. Once you get across the lake, it is a dash to the finish line located back at the academy. First place earns 50 points, Second place earns 30 points, Third place earns 20 points, and all of the remaining team will recieve 10 points a piece.
