Josh's sweep of side events was going well; many of his opponents had not even made Day Two of the main event, and were there to mingle with celebrities while watching main bracket matches live. He had signed many, many pieces of memorabilia, including a number of Raikou trading cards, in between flights.

Joining another flight after a victory in his previous one, Josh and his Zeraora stood opposite from , their first-round opponent. Unlike his previous flight, which was a winner-take-all, this flight paid the top three finishers. He expected the competition to be a little less stiff, but could not sleep on any opponent. "Morning!" the Master of Faster called out to his opponent. "Gym Leader Devlin, but you can call me Josh. And this is Raikiri," the League official gestured to the Zeraora that moved like a feral cat rather than a bipedal fighter.

Unlike her well-renowned opponent, Nabi did not have a fleet of fans to cheer her on and provide moral support. It was, unsurprisingly, intimidating for her to discover her next match was against a gym leader. Intimidating but welcomed. She could see how well she fared against an official member of the Hoenn League.[break][break]

"Yo," Nabi replied, smooth and casual. "Your zeraora has a beautiful coat. I'm sure you've trained it well." It was an honest comment with the slightest hint of jealousy. Nabi admired Raikiri's colorful fur and electric energy. Where could she catch one of these?[break][break]

"Say hello, Bruno," she then said, elbowing her swampert. Bruno made a grunt, unamused by the cat-like creature he was about to face off against. "Also, I'm Nabi. May the best of us win."[break][break]

Battle time. She knew she held the advantage in this match, but that was no reason to take it easy, especially against a gym leader.

"Thanks!" Josh chirped back, basking in Nabi's compliment. "He's the main way I travel around Hoenn." No matter how the Zeraora ran, being astride the Pokémon was an adrenaline rush. He wouldn't dare do it without a saddle, though -- not with how violent a big cat's gallop could get when at speed. Without one, his spine would shatter! "Best of luck to you as well, Nabi."

There would be little time for further pleasantries, a loud horn signifying the start of their match. Having battled Swampert before, a common Pokémon to take his Gym on with, he knew the species well. The Zeraora built up his speed, running confounding circles around the ground-type with great AGILITY. It looked like the hunter could about face at any moment, ramming and trampling the large, quadrupedal fish in an instant.

Bruno's head cocked back and forth and side to side when the zeraora suddenly launched himself into an AGILITY, immediately throwing the swampert off. That was one fast pokemon.[break][break]

"Stay cool, Bruno!" Nabi tried to reassure her pokemon before they already lost the battle. "Keep your guard up--hit it with a ROCK SLIDE!"[break][break]

Hearing his trainer's voice, Bruno refocused himself and did as commanded. Several rocks of varying sizes appeared around his body, hovering in motion. To the best of his ability (though perhaps with a little bit of a trigger finger), he released rock after rock in an attempt to hit what he believed to be the zeraora's form.[break][break]

Raikiri weaved around Bruno's ROCK SLIDE, moving so quickly that it was difficult to see the cat's black stripes against his yellow body. Even Josh had to squint at times to follow the action; only one other time all tournament had he been allowed to build up this much speed.

With spasks flying from beneath his paws, a screeching sound a sign of how powerful Raikiri's momentum shift was, he zoomed toward the Swampert with paws alight from friction burn. Against another opponent, he would have trampled over it with paws striking like Fire Punches. Not against this one; the Zeraora instead attempted to slide beneath Bruno before BOUNCING skyward, trying to launch him into the air.

Nabi felt there was little they could do against a pokemon with such speed. Growing up, she had always been told speed was the deciding factor in battle, though know she could truly experience in-person with pokemon on the field. Even with her trained eyes, watching for the zeraora's movements was difficult. She could only imagine how much worse it would be for her swampert.[break][break]

Bruno made his attempt. His pupils keyed in on the speedy feline at one point, and then he was gone the next. Before he knew it, the zeraora was underneath him, spry and stealthy. Bruno felt a rush of the BOUNCE attack knock against his chin, making him bite down and send him falling back. And now that the zeraora was in the air, hitting it had become even harder.[break][break]

"We're not giving up yet," Nabi whispered to herself for encouragement. "Cover the field in a MUDDY WATER - trap it!"[break][break]

While his opponent was still airborne, Bruno summoned waves of brown, dirty-looking water to spread across the arena, weaving his arms around to push it back and forth and hopefully catch the zeraora in its currents when it return to land.[break][break]

It wasn't pretty, but the Swampert was reeling from the uppercut. Josh smirked at Nabi's command to cover the ground in MUDDY WATER. "You think you have time for that?" he taunted as the water levels slowly rose. Slowly to the Zeraora, anyway. Lightning bolts enveloped him as he reached the peak of his jump, the Gym Leader's Z-GLOVE glowing.

Raikiri let out a primal roar at his apex, his QUICKINIUM-Z radiating so much yellow and white light that the mythical cat looked like a living lightning bolt. Striking like one in a HYPERSONIC PLASMA CHARGE whose already surreal speed was augmented by gravity, the water within the wave of MUDDY WATER electrolyzed around him, leaving dirt in its wake. Were the immunity-piercing maelstrom of lightning not enough to down the mud fish, perhaps the supersonic paw attack and the aural explosion that followed it would!

She thought it was a great plan. If it had worked... well, who knows? But it hadn't. Now they had to prepare for an oncoming z-move. That wasn't something Nabi had experience dealing with ever.[break][break]

She gulped. So did Bruno. Water washed back and forth around him, now putting the swampert at a great disadvantage.[break][break]

A clear, shining ball enveloped Bruno. But the PROTECT wouldn't be enough. With what little time he had left, the swampert also surrounded himself with another ROCK SLIDE to act as an added wall of defense. He could do nothing else against the powers of the z-move.[break][break]

Debris and smoke pillowed out, blocking Nabi's vision of the battlefield. She waited for it to clear to see the results of Bruno's strategy...[break][break]

"Checkmate," Josh said with a smirk.

There was no escaping the speed of the fastest Z-Move in Hoenn. At least, not until practiced one with her Patron. That emerald serpent may have been the only Pokémon on the planet capable of going faster than Raikiri was in the midst of such a move. Josh left out the detail that he routinely rode his Pokémon in the midst of such a move. How his body could withstand such high speeds was a mystery.

The Z-Move crashed through the PROTECT shield and the ROCK SLIDE both, prompting the side judge to raise the red flag in 's direction. He pumped a fist, now guaranteed a payout. "Good match," Josh said to her before stepping forward and offering her a handshake. "Good luck in your next flight, too."

When the smoke cleared, there he was, Bruno, on the ground and defeated. Nabi held back her sigh.[break][break]

In a flash of light, her swampert was back inside the safety of his pokeball. Her next stop would be at a Pokemon Center, tending to his wounds. She met with Josh at the center, taking his hand into hers.[break][break]

"I guess gym leaders are the real thing," she commented. She tried to shrug off the defeat, give herself mercy that she had just faced off an incredible opponent. Perhaps with his luck, she could win her next fight.
