Swift's purr made every hair on Josh's body stand on end, his skin tingling from the thunder-like reverberation on a windy, but otherwise pleasant, day. The Knight of Thunder was ready to bolt forward, putting his legendary steed's speed to the test. There was still so much he had to learn about the Beast before he could rely upon him in combat, and the first thing he wanted to learn was what Swift's speed limit was in straight lines. 117's enormous fields would have been ideal, but they were too close to densely-populated cities. The rural highway 101 was his next best choice.

Unbeknownst to him, had also become a knight. Knight of Leaves, Verdant Knight, whatever title Virizion had bestowed upon him, they both had their hands in the cookie jar that was the supernatural now. The familiar face would come as quite the surprise...

In the time that had passed since that trip to Mt. Chimney, Lam hadn’t called upon Virizion that often. The realization that the Sword of Justice had actually bestowed a portion of its favor was still a surreal thing to him. When he’d parted ways with the rest of the group, the lava flow safely diverted from the town below, he had expected that to be it. Matias was the sword’s knight, after all. Lam had just been…helping.[break][break]
But then the leaf had appeared in his pocket.[break][break]
He hadn’t found it until after he’d returned home. Having proven to his fiancé that yes, he was still in one piece, it slipped out of his coat and drifted in a lazy spiral toward the floor. Even then, with that token, he’d hesitated.[break][break]
Eventually, it was curiosity that drew him to Route 101—the grassy stretch seemed like a decent enough place to let the leaf loose on the breeze. He felt sort of stupid, because maybe it was just for emergencies, or something? But Virizion still appeared, all the same, a brighter green than the soft grass beneath its feet.[break][break]
"Hello again." It trotted around him, a showy display of itself before pressed his palm to the center of its head in polite greeting. The both of them soon distracted by the unexpected, ashen blur that shot by.

Josh leaned into the wind, his ashen Beast bouncing him about the grey thundercloud vigorously. The speedy tiger's strides shook him with earthquake-like force, rattling his limbs as he held on for his life through the acceleration. Just as the Raikou started to level off his speed, he caught a glimpse of Virizion's face.

Pulling back on the outer tufts of Swift's thundercloud to slow him down, the deceleration process was equally long. Not because Swift was slow at getting up to speed or shedding speed; those pointed claws were excellent at speed control. Coming to a stop took quite a bit of time because the Raikou's speed was that high. The Beast purred toward Virizion, Josh still coming down from the adrenaline rush that was all too familiar. He faced Virizion and Lam, greeting them, "Hey, Matias! What are you doing out here? I thought you were supposed to be under--"

He couldn't finish that sentence; he was in disbelief at seeing the Lilycove Gym Leader standing next to the Sacred Sword.

"...Lam?!"

He’d read the report, of course. So he was aware of the ashen beast in Josh’s company. It was still a crazy sight to see in person, though. “That’s some steed,” he joked, a grin pulling across his mouth as he looked up at the other gym leader and squinted against the sun.[break][break]
“Matias?” he echoed, confused. He was nowhere near as tall or stacked as the other man. Maybe Josh had been going a bit too fast on Raikou’s back, or maybe he needed to get his eyes checked?[break][break]
Then it clicked.[break][break]
“That’s my name,” he quipped. Beside him, Virizion eyed a nearby lurantis. But the grass-type soon drifted away, avoiding clashing blades with the Viridescent Sword. Oh, right.[break][break]
“Just hanging out with my new bud, Virizion!” he made light of it, laughing as Virizion gave him a look. Buds? But that was Lam—elevating most moments to some degree of levity.

"Oh, is he ever!" Josh cheered back. "It's hard to find places in Hoenn that are rural enough for me to practice with him." Swift's monochrome eyes shifted toward the Viridescent Knight, then Virizion's. "Sounds like we're both successors in different ways. Last time I saw Virizion, they were with Matias. That's what had me confused. Sorry!"

Hoenn's legendary Pokémon sure were on the move, looking for new allies. First, Raikou from Kyle to Josh, and now Virizion from Matias to Lam. "Great to see you again, too, Virizion! Would love to show you how much my skills have improved!" He had fond memories of shooting across 123 on the Sacred Sword's back, twirling dizzily as the grass-type rocked him with their extreme agility.

It was the last pleasant memory he had of Matias.

"Right, I-I forgot to introduce you to him," Josh stammered in the Sacred Sword's premise. "His name's Swift." The Raikou loosed a loud, tickling purr that sounded like a distant rumble of thunder.
