Jecht stands outside Mauville City's Gym, gazing up at the building with a smirk. His eyes glitter with excitement at the thought of meeting Josh Devlin, the Gym Leader and bearer of Raikou. Word had it that Josh was a master of high-speed Pokémon riding techniques, a skill Jecht was determined to learn for a future stunt—something that would push his circus performance to the next level.

Adjusting his cloak, Jecht steps forward, his mind already racing with ideas. He could envision the stunt: riding a Pokémon at blinding speeds, weaving through obstacles with precision and grace, all while leaving the audience in awe. But first, he had to learn from the best.

As he enters the Gym, he scans the area for Josh, his heart pounding with anticipation. The idea of learning a new riding technique wasn't just about adding a new trick to his arsenal—it was about impressing the crowd, pushing limits, and proving that he was more than just a member of Team Rocket. He was an entertainer, a master of illusion and performance.

Approaching the front desk, Jecht speaks calmly, hiding the excitement bubbling beneath his composed exterior. "I'm here to see Josh Devlin," he says. "I've heard he's the best when it comes to riding techniques, and I want to see if he can teach me a thing or two."
