Raikiri's eyes shifted toward Julia as she pet the large, yellow and black feline. "While it's not the same experience as riding Kyle's Raikou-familiar, it's the closest I'll ever get. After all, he is Raikou's reincarnation!" Little did he know that he would get to confirm just how fast Raikiri was compared to the Beasts, when Kyle would also let Josh ride his Suicune-familiar. Those two would have quite the competitive race if given the chance to square off!
Having ridden a lot of Pokémon, Josh knew about how long it would take Raikiri to make it from Mauville City to Trainer Hill, roughly two thirds of the way to the Great Desert. If they rode at full speed, it would take them roughly eight minutes to get there. "Answering that would spoil the fun, wouldn't it?" Josh returned with a sly smile on his face.
Julia did have a point, though; one of them was naturally going to have to take point. "Whichever you'd be more comfortable with! If you want to hold his reins and steer him, you're welcome to! I'm controlling his speed, though; I want my fun, too!"
Regardless of the arrangements, when both of them were set up, Josh would give the signal for his mythical mount to run. "Now Raikiri, don't scare her. Smooth acceleration, got it?" With a powerful purr that may have rattled Julia, the big cat nodded before facing forward, a scowl of intense focus on the electric-type's face. With a lighter than normal kick to Raikiri's sides, the two Rangers were off.
Just because Josh requested smooth acceleration didn't mean the acceleration wasn't intense, though. Raikiri was still a feline, and with it came feline strides that bounced the two about perhaps a little more than Julia was used to. Faster and faster the two sped down the rural road, already exceeding legal riding speeds on paved highways. Roadside trees whipped past the two, wild Pokémon that were crossing the road ducking for cover as sparks flew from all four paws beneath the riders. And yet, the Zeraora's strides continued to increase, both in length and in frequency, showing no signs of peaking any time soon. If Julia was wearing her Ranger HoloWear that had been given out at the Ranger meetup last fall, she might be able to see just how fast she was going.
