Pokke Races to the Finish! Umamusume: Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era
A young Jungle “Pokke” Pocket is inspired to become the fastest racer around after watching Fuji Kiseki win a heated race. Her first step is to join the prestigious Tracen Academy to learn from the best. To her delight, she’ll learn from Fuji Kiseki’s former trainer. Pokke excels on the track and remains undefeated until she comes up against Agnes Tachyon at the G1 Hopeful Stakes. Agnes completely dominates the track and leaves Pokke in her dust.
Pokke’s defeat leaves her sullen until T.M. Opera O inspires her to get up and keep running. However, Agnes Tachyon continues to prove her supremacy on the race track. She approaches every race with a keen, analytical mind. Her races are won in the mind before she even takes her place on the track. She’ll watch Pokke find a new pace and work with even more horse girls, such as Manhattan Cafe and Dantsu Flame. Pokke and Agnes will continue to race and find a certain truth at the finish line.
