They notice a patter in the grass nearby them that looks like a circle with a X in the middle of it. What could be? All of a sudden a ball that has a leaf-like tail connected drops on them. They duck down thinking it's a bomb or something (after all {{TRT}} has a reputation of doing that). They look up wondering what's going on and Ash spots a [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|balloon]] in the distance, it's shaped like {{p|Fearow}} with one pulling it! The balloon lands down next to them and a boy jumps out of it. He says his name is {{jo|Skyler}} and he's training up for a balloon race that's pretty big. | ||
Skyler takes them over to a garage where a man is working on a balloon designs, this is [[Tenma]]. Tenma designs balloons after {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} for a race, as there is a picture gallery on the wall next to him with various Pokémon-shaped balloons. Tenma gets an idea and sets up a {{p|Pikachu}} balloon for the gang to ride in and train for the race themselves. They take off and do a few check-ups, before letting out a {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon to drag the balloon faster. Ash sends out {{AP|Noctowl}} while Skyler uses his Fearow. Noctowl helps to make the balloon go faster but he goes too fast and causes the balloon the tilt. Tenma tells them to slow down a bit and Noctowl does so. | Skyler takes them over to a garage where a man is working on a balloon designs, this is [[Tenma]].
