[ EU ] Pokemon battles are now part of the olympics

`` Now we take flight to the Air show. Here, in the sky race: Rings of Moltres. Yes, The Rings of Moltres, a series of rings that Flying pokemon must fly through with their trainer in the fastest time, all the while those rings are lit in the most magnificent of flames. This is a race folks and as with all Pokemon races, attack and defensive moves are completely acceptable. Let's see this year's top contenders... 
 
 Hailing from The mighty U.S.A retired Air Force Fighter Pilot, Captain Malcolm Reynolds and his magnificent Dragonite: Serenity. 
 `` *I raised her from a tiny little Dratini, treat her proper and she'll be with you the rest of your life. Serenity being here with me today proves that*.'' 
 I'm sure it will prove quite well Mr. Reynolds. Serenity triumphed over the very competitive U.S. Air Circuit. That's right, the U.S. Air Circuit which goes from Juneau, Alaska to Augusta, Maine, to Miami Florida, then finishing in Haleakala on Maui in the shortest span all the while carrying their trainers. Serenity finished Second in the Royal Air Force Defensive Flight Race. Held in England the flying Pokemon have to compete in a similar arena as today's event. They have to fly in the same pattern the RAF flew while in defense of their homeland from German aircraft. 
 
 Next on our list from Japan, 11 year old Satoshi ( Again?! ) with his Mega Charizard X ( I'm not making this up folks, it exists ) Firey Inferno. This Pokemon is more known for its offensive flying style than its speed. Firey Inferno's Fire Blitz has taken out more than a hundred pokemon that have flown against this monster. It will be interesting to see how it competes against the faster Pokemon in this event. 
 
 Now for a bird and trainer that need no introduction. Prince William and his Pidgeot: Harry ( affectionately named after his brother or possibly to annoy him ). Harry has won the RAF Defensive Flight for 3 straight years. He is everyone's favorite to win this Gold, having came in second 4 years ago. With a beautiful baby and a wonderful wife, What's not to like about this English Gentleman? 
 
 From the island of Kiribati comes Anote Tong and his Gyarados: God's Blessing, a reference to the help it has been in aiding the country's development both in economy and population growth. God's Blessing while easily one of the biggest competitors, it excels at being one of the most graceful like a blue dragon kite dancing in the wind. Truly we are blessed by God in witnessing its talent today. 
 
 Russia, not to be outdone has presented their champion Helena Romanov with her Braviary: Mig. So aptly named as Braviary are one of the most aggressive flyers in the air. They seek nothing but to target and destroy any obstacle and target. Quite the contrast to Romanov's polite and quite demeanor. Mig is fierce and has trained in the harsh cold and clearly has the homefield advantage. He will be the one to watch out for. He'll either be last or the last one still flying. 
 
 Claude Bell of France once again graces us with his presence. A World War II pilot he and his Talonflame: Rene Fonck have 2 Gold Medals, 1 Silver, and 1 Bronze in their 12 year tenure here. We can only hope to see Rene perform graciously as always. 
 
 [ Editorial Note: This is bullshit, Dragonite participating? He can circle the globe in 16 hours. Thus they need to carry their trainers so speed is great but too fast and their rider falls. Also I will post a land and snow competition, eventually ]
