Josh had the back gate of his Gym open; all his challenges were open for the public to watch. His non-traditional challenges in particular were a favorite of the Mauville crowd, attracting general sports fans in addition to Pokémon fans. There was just something enchanting, mesmerizing even, about watching five Pokémon shoot across a track at breakneck speeds, their riders guiding them in a delicate yet graceful dance across courses that would make racers of motor vehicles squeamish.
Josh was in a tight spot, on the final lap against a tall male with a Kantonian Rapidash. Every time the Leader had Blinky, his Jolteon mount, try to make a move, the Rapidash had more in the tank, cutting the lightning fast Electric-type off. "Blinky, QUICK ATTACK!" Josh cried, pushing the electric-type to her limits. With blistering speed, the Jolteon shot forward, the Leader feeling like he was launched out of a firearm's barrel from the sudden acceleration. The two ended up passing the Rapidash, to the applause of the gallery. Suddenly, a bright flash of light accompanied a fierce whinny followed by a pained cry cut through the electrifying atmosphere.
It was just like on Meteor Falls. It was just like at Splashfest. And at Fortree.
A Space-Time Distortion had formed right on top of Josh's new Gym. There was only one thing he could do. "Vicki, run as far as you can! Get you and your Rapidash to safety! I'll call you back to reschedule you! But for now, run as far as you can!" The two did as asked, a cacophony of screams coming from the stands as the Distortion advanced, threatening to trap the fans within its deadly space.
Just as suddenly, Josh noticed a woman about his age not far from the open gate, which was also on the inside of the inescapable Distortion. In flashes of light, a colossal Luxray and Pyroar, dwarfing the size of the Leader's saddled Luxray and Pyroar that were racing around the track, appeared halfway between the gate and Josh's position. They were each over ten feet tall, their pupils a frightening red. The Pyroar bellowed a NOBLE ROAR that shook the air with an ear-piercing vibration much like a car stereo's bass cranked to maximum volume. "LOOK OUT!" the racer shouted, his Jolteon, Manectric, Luxray, and Pyroar sprinting toward the giant Pokémon in an effort to save the woman from the giants' wrath. illeana reyes NAME SPECIES STATUS Saber Manectric Good Blitz Luxray Good Aslan Pyroar Good Blinky Jolteon Good{WC: 407} {PC: 1} note: This is a repeat mission for Josh.
