  • In an old white house on top of a hill near the town of Nojiri, lived little Pikachu. One day, Pikachu woke up eeeeeaaarly in the morning. He looked down the stairs.
  • And climbed gingerly down the stairs.
  • He went in to wake up his good friend Irio-chan.
  • “Wake up, Irio-chan! Wake up! There’s a funny noise outside!”
  • Pikachu and Irio-chan were each too small to see out the window. But Irio-chan helped Pikachu look out. A boat race. It was the day for the boat race.
  • Pikachu ran to the kitchen to fix some oatmeal for himself and Irio-chan.
  • Meanwhile, their favorite skippers were getting their favorite boat ready. It was the SOS Calamity Cookie. Here’s skipper Geoff.
  • And here’s skipper Jenny.
  • Pikachu and Irio-chan went outside to watch the races.
  • The bell rang. The race was on! Geoff jumped in the boat as the wind swept it out to sea.
  • Pikachu and Irio-chan climbed up higher to see the race.
  • The SOS Calamity Cookie went sweeping by at ruthless speed.
  • It was heading out to sea.
  • Pikachu and Irio-chan climbed higher still.
  • And the SOS Calamity Cookie sped to the front of the pack.
  • It rounded the buoy marking the last lap.
  • Irio-chan climbed higher and higher to see the action. It was too exciting to bear.
  • There they were. The finish line. And the SOS Calamity Cookie was still in the lead.
  • Pikachu and Irio-chan carefully prepared cookies and milk for their favorite skippers, so that they could have their favorite victory snack.
