TAG WITH @joshdevlin

Both riders would be able to feel their mounts purring with excitement from Altagracia's daring agreement. "Hold on tight - these Pyroar can get fast!" He made sure there was little traffic ahead and that the lions understood to go off-road to avoid traffic if need be. "Alright! Ready to feel the wind in your face again, Aslan?" The shiny Pyroar purred, then growled. "Awesome, let's go! Aslan, Simba, DOUBLE TEAM!"
The two fire-types accelerated alongside one another, the two riders able to easily see just how much the lions' flexing backs were bouncing one another. Without their saddles stabilizing them, it would have been far worse. Even at full gallop, pre-boost, it was still quite swift. Then the DOUBLE TEAM came.
Three trailing images, each of which included Pyroar and rider, appeared behind both pairs. Unlike DOUBLE TEAM in combat, this was not to fool an attacking Pokémon. This was purely to go fast. "Wheeeee-haaaaaa!!!" Josh cried, maintaining his posture through the power of Aslan's acceleration. It was not as violent of a boost as it once was, but it was still plenty fast. The shallow turns the albino feline made were enough to get a grunt out of the Gym Leader.
Josh felt like Aslan was good as new... until Simba and Altagracia shot past him. It wasn't through any fault of Simba's or Aslan's, neither Josh's nor Altagracia's. Aslan won the race back to the door handily, the lion rearing in triumph. Perhaps he had forgotten it was Altagracia riding him and not Josh?
Aslan had lost a fair bit of speed. Despite the success of the procedure, Josh wouldn't be getting the big cat up to his pre-injury speed any time soon. Unbeknownst to him, Aslan would never be that fast again. It was the reality of his post-procedure physical limits. That did not matter to him, though; he was simply grateful the fire-type could battle and race again. "I couldn't ask for a better recovery for Aslan," Josh said to Altagracia after the two lions came to a stop. "I look forward to getting back on the track with him... and going to the Elite Four with him. I wouldn't want to use anyone less than my best. Thank you."
