It was apparent from Josh's body language that he was still far from friends with Matias. That animosity had lessened after speaking with dahlia goode , Delilah Silph , and others about the Eris incident, which had by this point in time, largely blown over in his circle. It was in the past, he had done or was doing his recompense for what he had done, and he had forgiven everyone he had wronged, including himself. He had learned a harsh lesson about making such a feverish pursuit of the Johtonian god of speed.

That didn't mean he couldn't fantasize about it, though, and that was what he would do today. "Johanna's done such a bang-up job with Funtasia. You wouldn't think I'd enjoy such a 'safe' attraction, what with what I'm known for in Hoenn, but just look at it!" He pointed to the Raikou on the carousel. "I've been coming back here when I can, too. I've already been on that one," he pointed to the outside-row Chien-Pao, blissfully unaware of the hatred within the actual snow cat. In the same row were the other three ruinous beasts.

"I'm calling dibs on the Raikou! What about you? Do you have one in mind?"

At Matias' inquiry, Josh looked around to see what all was on the carousel. There were plenty of Pokémon he recognized, such as Virizion, as well as ones he didn't. Another cat-like Pokémon caught his eye, though he did not recognize the Solgaleo, nor the Lunala that was next to it. The Xerneas and Yveltal were beyond his knowledge of the gods, as well. Most regions' legendary Pokémon were accounted for.

Two of the three of the Weather Trio were there, Rayquaza most notably absent due to being Funtasia's flagship roller coaster. "Heh, that's kinda cute," Josh pointed to the Groudon on one of the inside rows. The saddle on its back was raised to allow a rider to comfortably sit on it, though the back of it was unrealistically tall. It would have been apparent, especially to Matias, that this kind of saddle design would not have worked well for the real Groudon, even if the behemoth was willing to wear one. "I dunno about you, but I think seeing you on the Groudon would make for a fun picture. I still need to get a picture of me on the Raikou."

Once it was their turn to board, Josh dashed for the Raikou, gleefully climbing aboard and leaning low against the back of its thundercloud as though he was riding the real thing. It was obvious from his smile and his body language that his mind wandered in his ultimate fantasy that the Top Champion let him live reasonably often. The seats of the other legendary Pokémon filled up. After seeing how much fun Josh had riding the Chien-Pao last time, the upright-walking Raikiri chose the ice-type. Several dirty-minded observers snapped photos of the thundercat astride the artisan replica of the ruinous feline.

Whatever choice Matias made, Josh would call out to him once more if his choice of Pokémon was within earshot. "This your first time over here?" he asked. "I keep coming back to this thing every day I can. The feel of each one I've been on matches what I've experienced riding the real thing as reasonably as could be expected. Haven't been on the Virizion yet, though," Josh pointed to the Sacred Sword several rows in front of him, the seat occupied by a teenage young man.
