As Mauville Gym Leader is giving you a mounted guided tour of the Racing Grounds, your Pokémon mount rears in fright as a deafening thundercrack pounds at your ears. Strangely enough, there is no accompanying flash of lightning nearby.[break][break]

"No way... no way!!" you barely hear the Gym Leader cry through somewhat deafened ears. Looking around and up, while most of the sky is clear, you see a purple, billowy, ominous-looking cloud visibly expanding in the distance.[break][break]

How do you respond?[break][break]

The Mauville Racing Grounds was certainly an interesting spot. Or a half dozen spots if we're being honest. Kara had come because she was maybe friends with Josh, but didn't know all that much about him and she wanted to learn more about what he liked. What she hadn't figured was that her phone would start giving her a weird message. Scratching her head, she picked up the phone and walked to a bench.

It wanted her to download an app?

Well, everything else had been super helpful so far, so she went ahead and did it and in a moment she had... a computer Josh? on her phone. With a shrug, she read through what it was saying and smiled. Well, she wasn't going to run inside, that was for sure. She considered checking it out herself, but that wouldn't be fun. Instead, she poked the first option: "What in the world was that?"


Saying it's gonna be alright

Josh begins calling out the names of, then whistling for, some of his very fastest Pokémon. Among them are an Arcanine, a Hisuian Arcanine, a shiny Luxray, and a Manectric, alongside the giant Jolteon the Gym Leader is atop. All of them seem seem just as excited, the two Arcanine howling loudly despite the dry thunderstorm headed directly toward the Gym. As you inquire into what in the world the billowing storm cloud is, you get a terrifying answer from the Gym Leader.[break][break]

"That's... that's Raikou! It's Raikou! He's really alive!" Josh goes on and on, seeming far too excited about the dangerous storm headed straight at the two of you. The wind picks up more and more the closer the cloud gets. This time, though, there is a brilliant flash accompanying a distant THUNDER attack so powerful that you can feel the impact despite being distant from it.[break][break]

"No way... no way!!" you barely hear the Gym Leader cry through somewhat deafened ears. Looking around and up, while most of the sky is clear, the purple storm cloud is visibly expanding in the distance. "RAIKOU, I'M COMING!!" he shouts. All of a sudden, the Gym Leader bolts toward the storm cloud, switching Pokémon mounts so he can be astride his Manectric. His other Gym Pokémon for the most part are excited, but his Arcanine both seem worried. They all surround you and crouch down, as though beckoning you to go after their Trainer.[break][break]

What do you do?[break][break]

Kara had noooooooooo idea what a Raikou was, but computer Josh sure seemed happy about it. Happy enough he left two of his own Pokémon behind. Which was pretty mean in the teen's opinion. There wasn't really a good reason to leave your friends behind.

Which, she supposed, sort of included her but she didn't know if computer Josh counted.

Glancing at the options provided, she frowned a bit. None of them were very good. There was an option to do something else, but she couldn't think of anything. At least not at this point in the... whatever this was. Hiding wasn't an option, either, and she didn't have a Pokémon big enough to take her. So she needed to use Josh's but she didn't want to leave the others behind.

With a grin, she poked the fourth option and typed in: "Chase down Josh with all the Pokémon he left behind."

Without further delay, you get on the back of Josh's Shiny Luxray, Blitz, who is quick to bolt after him. It's a bit of a rough ride for anyone not used to how big cat Pokémon run, but it isn't too hard to get used to after finding his rhythm. The rest of his Pokémon that were nearby give chase as well, backing you and the Gym Leader up.[break][break]

You meet up with Josh east of the racing grounds, where you saw the cloud originate from (and knowledge of weather patterns would tell you storm clouds coming in from the east is highly unusual), you can see a medium-size circle of completely charred grass surrounded by fire. At its center is a small but fairly deep depression. East of the fire are footprints of a Pokémon you've never seen before. They are very feline, but you've never seen a feline Pokémon with a single-pointed claw before. The distance between footprints is staggering, an indication that whatever made them can move incredibly fast.[break][break]

Josh frantically reaches for his belt before coming to the realization he does not have a Pokémon on his person capable of quenching the fire! "Thanks for backing me up! Do you have a Pokémon that can put this fire out?"[break][break]

Raikou is, for the time being, nowhere in sight.[break][break]

What do you do?

As she watched everything progress, Kara grinned. She was honestly getting into the silly little game, even if she didn't really understand what was going on. These options at least provided a clearer way to go and she considered her own friends.

Gubli was a ground Pokémon and he had moves she was certain could handle the fire, but it might do more damage, too. Blue was a water-type, but water pulse was maybe a bit too focused to handle this...

Leaving the fires wasn't an option since they could hurt people, so she needed to pick. With a smile, she poked the custom field again and entered: "Use Gubli and Blue together to put out the fires without causing too much damage to the nearby area." The little Froakie might be too focused to put out a lot of fires, but she could certainly help keep back some of the blowing sand and dirt.

Though your combination attack successfully puts out the fire, the watery half makes it difficult to recognize the pawprints in the center of where the flames were. While you can only make out vaguely feline pawprints, in its center is a small crater, the grass around it completely blackened, unlike the grass that was burning previously.[break][break]

Your experience with many varieties of Pokémon leads you to believe that this crater came about as the result of a THUNDER attack of divine strength. It is obvious Josh comes to a similar conclusion. "Holy..." he gasps at the crater's sheer size. "I've never seen an electric attack do that before."[break][break]

As the two of you make the turns to Route 118's beach, the downdrafts continue to pick up as the afternoon sun is almost completely blotted out by the purple storm clouds, the coastline nearly dark as night. Six bright flashes, accompanied by rumbles of thunder that were as rapid as a semiautomatic firearm's discharges, illuminate the beach, the force of the lightning strikes sending sand flying into the air.[break][break]

Your close pursuit lets you catch a brief glimpse of a yellow-and-black feline figure whose red eyes seem to stare into your very soul. A grey, crown-like faceplate covers the figure's head, and beyond it, you can see a purple cloud hovering behind it, not unlike the one covering every square inch of the sky for miles in every direction. The creature opens its fanged maw, and a roar indistinguishable from thunder washes over you. You see Josh and his Manectric preparing to enter a QUICK ATTACK chain.[break][break]

What do you do?
