As Mauville Gym Leader Josh Devlin 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]

It’s a way to kill an evening. Sitting on his couch, laptop in hand, Navy sips on some coffee and boots up this RVL game. He missed the boat. Too busy drinking himself into a stupor, he missed all these routes. Oh well. Better late than never. Let’s see what secrets this game holds…[break][break]
“Sorry, Josh. Guess I’m gonna take the jerk route.”[break][break]
Seeing it as a joke, he presses what he thinks is the wrong option.[break][break]

Without a word from Josh, you guide your Pokémon mount away from the Gym's concourse and spur them in the direction of the expanding cloud. As you enter the storm cloud's shadow, you can feel its downdraft upon you and see your mount's fur visibly blown about in the wind from above.[break][break]

To the 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]

You briefly turn your head back to see that Josh is charging toward you at full speed on his Manectric, frantically trying to catch up to you.[break][break]

“Ten pokedollars say’s it’s Raikou.” The sheriff quips, puffing on a cigar. “Sorry, Josh. You’re the unfortunate guy I gotta be a dick to. Let’s stress test this system…”[break][break]
Navy hopes that this RVL route serves as a testament to Josh: his obsession drove him too far. There’s so much more to him as a person than Raikou. Best to start weaning him early…[break][break]
Custom Input: Have Garchomp raise a stone wall behind you with stone edge and then douse the fire.

While using your water Pokémon to put out the fire works, It was an electrical fire, making water far less effective in dousing the flames. After doing so, you see five depressions in the ground. Four of them are shaped like feline pawprints with a single protrusion at the end of them, as if the creature had single-pointed claws. The fifth 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. You have never seen an electric attack create a crater of this size.[break][break]

Gym Leader Josh Devlin is nowhere in sight, though you feel the Stone Edge barrier you have erected will not slow him down for very long.[break][break]

“Hmm.” Still within parameters. The system hasn’t stressed out very much. Reading over the prompts, Navy imagines how it might look. With the flames, he wonders if…[break][break]
Oh, this is evil. Something he would never do to the real Josh. The sheriff remembers how people speak of this RVL, like it’s a look into other worlds. Well, time to test if Josh made the same mistakes in other worlds…[break][break]
CUSTOM: Have Arcanine write ‘CHILDKILLER, UNWORTHY’ in flames before pressing on ahead of Josh.

(As you submit your custom query, the image of Josh Devlin racing his Manectric toward Mauville Bay turns into a pixelated blob. Your phone's battery begins to heat up, the AI taking an unusually long time to process your response. Animations become sluggish, and even basic interface elements are slow to respond. You hear the sound of a notification from another app, but its visual piece does not show until quite some time later. Eventually, your phone starts to cool down as battery usage returns to normal.)[break][break]

PiCK uP aS THe aFTeRNooN SuN iS cOMPLeTeLy blotted out by the purple storm clouds, the coastline nearly dark as night. Six bright flashes, accompanied by rumbles of thunder 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 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. Behind you, you see Josh and his Manectric preparing to enter a QUICK ATTACK chain. The Gym Leader looks positively livid.[break][break]

“Huh…” He studies his phone, feels the residual heat. Something is wrong. Whatever teases and taunts them through this system doesn’t know how to process this request. Quick thinking leads him to grab Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki ’s cooling pad, putting it under his phone to keep it from exploding or shutting off.[break][break]
Josh is rushing to attack him. Head-long, with a quick attack. The master of faster is coming at him guns blazing.[break][break]
But they’re right next to his idol – the subject of his obsession. What happens next is an impassive experiment, a detective’s mind at work. If there’s a hell, he’ll go to it for this one.[break][break]
CUSTOM: Have Greninja use Substitute and Smokescreen to MISDIRECT Josh into attacking Raikou instead.

(The display seems to return to normal after your latest response, the image of Josh and Manectric chasing down Raikou becoming more sharp as text is drawn on the screen.)[break][break]

Your actions take even the Johto Beast by surprise, the combination of SMOKESCREEN and SUBSTITUTE altering the trajectory of Josh and his Manectric. Their QUICK ATTACK turns from a tool of speed to keep up with Raikou into a tool to harm the god of speed. His red eyes glow, his demeanor shifting to the anger of a thunderstorm.[break][break]

Raikou briefly shifts his eyes toward you before calling down a line of lightning bolts, which Josh is going far too fast to react to. While the divine current runs through him and his Pokémon for only a split second, even his electric mount lets out a pained cry as it is struck, resistance to electric attacks meaningless in the Beast's presence. It appears that Josh has lost control of his senses as the maelstrom afflicts his exposed skin with electrical burns. Despite the Beast's disposition, Josh is bound and determined to keep his dream alive. He and his Manectric zoom toward Route 119 in hot pursuit.[break][break]

At the speed needed to keep up the chase, the trees and wildlife are little more than a blur. What isn't a blur, though, is a narrow valley that you see Raikou effortlessly leap over. With a QUICK ATTACK from your Pokémon, you could probably make it, too, but the leap wouldn't be for the faint of heart! Alternatively, you could go down and up the valley, or look for a narrower point to cross to make the leap easier![break][break]

Chewing on the end of a cigar, he nodded at that response. It’s back on track. No longer glitching. They’re back on script – somewhat. Like reality was setting itself right. What had been happening moments before? He couldn’t say, not at all.[break][break]
All he knew is that another stress test was in order. This prompt was simple. His first thought was to type ‘summon Skarmory to fly across and overtake Josh’. That would be simple enough.[break][break]
The snag was he kept assuming he had to have the Pokemon. All of the ones he had used thus far were Pokemon he himself owned. What if…[break][break]

As you arrive at the ravine's precipice, you command your Pokémon to draw Suicune's Sign in the ground in an effort to summon the Johto Beast of Winds, beckoning the legendary creature to create an ICE BEAM bridge for you and Josh to cross the ravine. The Sign fails to summon Suicune; it seems you have not yet been deemed worthy of wielding its power.[break][break]

In the meantime, Josh and his Manectric steed catch up to you, ignoring you and shooting past you in a QUICK ATTACK. With a giant leap, the two go sailing over the widest part of the ravine in a reckless effort to catch the fleeting Beast that is rapidly leaving your sight.[break][break]

Suicune’s a no-go. That, more than anything, serves as a confirmation that what he’s seeing is a version of something that has actually transpired, somewhere and somewhen. A purely AI generated game would have simply taken his command as gospel. Suicune would forge for him a path.[break][break]
Another experiment, then. Josh is alive. Doubtless in the true telling of what he’s seeing here, he didn’t die.[break][break]

Your Pelipper blows Josh and his Manectric back at the perfect time. With him having little time to react, you hear a scream followed by the cry of a Kilowattrel. The electric bird carries him to the same side of the ravine you are standing on. He is bleeding in multiple locations, red ooze dripping down his cheeks. As he gets back on his Manectric, the blue and yellow wolf respects his wounds, taking much of the rest of the route to Fortree at a far slower pace than normal.[break][break]

After a lengthy chase, you catch up to Raikou at a small shrine on Route 119, not too far west of Fortree City. The Beast looks well-rested, basking in the vicious storm's downdrafts. They are so intense that you imagine flying on a Pokémon now would be next to impossible. The sitting Pokémon eyes the two of you warily as lightning strikes all around you. Despite Josh's bleeding wounds, you can catch the glint of a presumably empty Poké Ball in his hand, his eyes shifting back and forth between Raikou and Fortree proper. He is clearly contemplating retreat.[break][break]

(The edges of your screen are flashing red, indicating Josh's health is low.)[break][break]
