'''Fuchsia Free-For-All Race''' is a [[Pokémon]] race held annually in [[Fuchsia City]] on the last day of the festival celebrating the [[Nomads Independence Day]]. It appears exclusively in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}. <!--there is a race in EP033, but this has a lot more backstory/doesn't appear to be the same-->

The Fuchsia Free-For-All Race is the most popular and well-known event occuring during the Nomads Independence Day festival, drawing many tourists from outside the Fuchsia City area. The event originates from a time when the nomadic tribes of the Fuchsia City area were at war. Rather than compete against each other in war, the nomads decided to compete in a race instead as a peaceful form of competition. In modern times, the race is open to anyone interested in entering and not only to members of the nomadic tribes.

{{pkmn|Trainer}}s may enter with any Pokémon they desire, but are prohibited from using {{m|Fly}}. The first rider to grab the flag at the top of [[Mt. Spirit]] is the winner.

When [[Lara Laramie]] was injured by her {{p|Ponyta}} (which was startled by [[Dario]]), [[Ash Ketchum]] entered the race using her Ponyta. Despite Dario's many dirty tricks, Lara's Ponyta evolved into {{p|Rapidash}}, and won the race with its increased speed and power.

 

The foothills of Mt. Spirit are blanketed in thick fog year-round, making the race difficult and dangerous. Because of this, the race which [[Ash Ketchum]] entered on behalf of [[Lara Laramie]] was the final free-for-all race to be held.
