There was nothing like a snow cone on a warm day at a carnival, especially one organized by , Ever Grande's Gym Leader. Ever Grande must have had a hell of a budget, much like Mauville, to be able to move so much equipment around the mainland so often. The hint of blueberry among the refreshing crunchiness of ice was enough to cool anyone off on the late summer day as he waited in line at a carousel. Not just any carousel - it was a replica of a Goldenrod one that was very special to him: the Merry-Go-Round of Friendship. With a statue of the Great One at the top, it was a legendary Pokémon-themed carousel.

"This looks so awesome, Johanna," Josh complimented as he waited in line. The two were close to the front, so they would get their choice of legendary steeds. There was one particular one Josh had his eyes on, and that was the outside row Raikou a young child was sitting on and looking like he was having the time of his life. Next to it were a middle-row Suicune and an inner-row Entei. There were flying ones, too, a Yveltal rising up and falling down in the center row, its teenage rider looking at himself in the mirror as he "soared the skies" on the harbinger of death. "Let me know when trough hours are; I'll make sure to be up then. A dream of mine since I was a child was to ride as many legendary Pokémon as possible."

Even Raikiri was in line, Josh's Zeraora having relearned how to stand like most other Zeraora could. He was now a hybrid runner, capable of running around on just his hind legs as he could on all fours. "You've grown so much, Raikiri - I'm proud of you," Josh hugged his valuable partner. He had his eyes on the Zapdos right behind the Raikou.

Josh wasn’t wrong about the budget. The moving cost alone was staggering. But Johanna didn’t like to think about that too much. No price was too high if it meant bringing even the tiniest speck of joy to Hoenn.

She had joined her fellow Gym Leader in the consumption of a snow cone as they waited in line. The Gym Leader in question was Josh, the Mauville Gym Leader whose city they were currently in.

For a moment she paused the consumption of ice cream to speak.

“Thank you. Glad you like it.” Johanna replied. “Honestly, I've been a bit surprised by the mostly positive reception all of this has gotten.” She informed Josh. Of course, there would always be nay-sayers but that was simply a matter she had to account for.

“Will do!” Johanna nodded in acceptance of Josh’s request.

Her eyes wandered to the sight of the Zeraora by Josh’s side. It was definitely an impressive individual.

Josh's smile grew alongside Johanna's as she reported just how happy Hoennians were when they were visiting Funtasia. "What is there to say? That's a legendary Pokémon carousel!" he remarked as an outside-row Latios zoomed past them. "How many of us, when we were young, dreamed of riding on a legendary Pokémon? Some of us still do!"

As the carousel came to a halt, the riders dismounting their legendary mounts, Josh's eyes locked onto the outside-row Raikou. "Sorry if you want the Raikou, but he's mine." Even Raikiri wanted in on the fun, the Mauville Leader handing the attendant a second set of Funtasia tokens to ride alongside the electric mythical Pokémon. Josh sprinted alongside his partner, taking a seat on the outside-row Raikou he had memorized the position of. Raikiri hopped onto an outside-row Zapdos two spots in front of him, the Zeraora's ponytail flapping in the breeze like a flag on a windy day.

A hearty chuckle escaped Johanna as Josh commented on the Legendary carousel. He even raised a fair point, but she figured she didn’t need to comment on it. It was a given. Everybody wanted to ride Legendary Pokemon.

The carousel slowed down. It was finally time for them to ride. “Oh no, that’s the one I wanted to ride!” Johanna played along with cheerful sarcasm, but it didn’t take long before people started getting on and she had to hurriedly find one for herself.

Luckily she managed to save the fancy feathered lord of the beasts Ho-Oh. Once strapped in and secure the ride would begin.

Just turned around to see the Ho-oh Johanna was seated on a couple placed back, and whistled at the detail that had been put into it. Other than the reflective rather than feathered body, the details were striking and accurate. While the saddle on the Great One was a bit demeaning from the Gym Leader's perspective, he did have to set his reverence aside and accept the fantastic nature of what he was doing. Perhaps there was another world out there where shard legendary Pokémon were more common?

Even Raikiri had a smile on his face as he leaned low onto the Zapdos, the carousel slowly getting up to half speed. All of these depictions of the Pokémon world's gods looked excellent; he would have to snap pictures of them before the carnival packed up for good at the end of the month.

She had never been much for riding Pokemon. She did it only out of necessity. But the thought, however imaginative it was, of riding Ho-Oh like this was entertaining.

Who hadn’t dreamed of soaring upon the back of a Legendary Pokemon after all? Admittedly being native to Hoenn, she had dreamed of riding upon the back of the great green serpent.

Nevertheless she enjoyed the ride from beginning to end and even the middle. From time to time she would gaze toward Josh and Raikiri making sure they were enjoying it as much as she was.

Photos of the Gym Leader astride the carousel's Raikou would inevitably make their way onto social media, several observers and fans of the Mauville Racer snapping pictures of him as the Beast came into view. Those would stop when the carousel operator turned the ride up to top speed. The younger children on some outside-row Pokémon, particularly a Latios and Chien-Pao, squealed in joy, the high momentum making their small stomachs turn a little. Even Josh became lost in his fantasy. "Whooooo! Swift, let's pick up the pace!" Of course, it didn't beat riding Kyle's Raikou familiar, but he only got to do that once every few months.

After the carousel had slowed to a stop and let its riders disembark, Josh and Raikiri took a lap around the outside of it, having his eyes on some of the other legendary Pokémon he wanted to ride on when he came back later. "This was a really cool idea," Josh said to Johanna as he snapped pictures of the three Beasts, the Latios, the Chien-Pao, and the Ho-oh that the Ever Grande Gym Leader had been on. Even Raikiri had a big smile on his face, dreaming to ride alongside Josh on the real Raikou one day. "The saddle on Ho-oh is really well done, too. I'm definitely coming back here another day. Where to next?" he asked, putting the ball in her court.

The Carousel ride came to an end. And as Johanna stepped off and made her way out the exit of the riding area she took a moment to relax, and catch what breath might have eluded her in the moment of riding.

“Glad you liked it!” She spoke appreciatively.

“That’s a good question! Hmmm.” She pondered, there were so many options to be made and yet perhaps there was too little time. Though she honestly didn’t notice as her focus was on awaiting Josh’s reply Her phone would start ringing from her pocket. The melody of the Joyland theme park announcing her location to all around her.

There was just something thrilling about being astride a god, even if it was in the realm of fantasy only. The world of NINE: True Goddess Reincarnation was his outlet for riding the god of speed in a form he had complete control over. As fun as it was being on Kyle's Raikou-familiar, they were ultimately his to command. It would be great to have more in the game, but getting a legendary mount was far too big of a grind. They couldn't even be bought or sold on the market, as the items to summon them were bound to the account they dropped for.

Before Josh could make a suggestion, Johanna's phone rang. He patiently waited for several minutes, imagining it was just a service call of some kind. Something quick. That didn't appear to be the case as the conversation dragged on. Taking a seat on his Zeraora's back, Josh waved to Johanna, taking care not to interrupt her before making his way elsewhere. He was sure he'd run into her again if he kept coming to the carnival!
