"Looks like," Josh emphasized. "There are some regional forms that look quite different from their base species. Exeggutor from Kanto and Alola look almost equally like Raikou and Swift do." Granted, it was perhaps the only drastic departure in terms of shape, but the example still stood.
When asked about the color, he breathed one of his trademark deep sighs the Ranger knew were of disappointment. "It's how I got him from the Great One. The only attack he knows how to use is Spark. Not even Quick Attack. That's what I was looking forward to doing. Riding him mid-Quick Attack. And he can't even do that. He also... doesn't act like other Pokémon do. He seems to be wholly obedient for the time, which is a plus. But he's missing the... how do I even describe it... the Pokémon element. Kind of like the human element we have."
As he would discover from studies with illeana reyes , Eva Morales , and others, the so-called Pokémon element was a reflection of Josh's personality. The good, the bad, and the ugly. His growth would depend entirely on Josh's growth. "I would ask Kyle more... but he's not around to answer those questions."
When the topic changed to the supernatural and Sootopolis, Josh sighed a second time. "Here's the thing, Captain. I'm a Champion now. While I'm not on the same level as AQUA, I carry a similar weight to them, legendary Pokémon or no. Whether I want it or not, there's no going back. But to answer your question..." He leaned forward on the ashen Beast, letting go of the reins and running his hands through the white tufts behind his mask: where a real Raikou's facial fur would have been.
"This is how much I love Raikou." The Beast mirrored the affection with a purr that rattled and tickled his rider, causing Josh to smile and even laugh.
