As much as Josh wanted to, the closest he could get to the speed of light was his Pokémon's Z-Move. Riding during a Z-Move was dangerous, not only due to the Pokémon's output of Z-Energy, but the incredible stresses it put the body under. It took many months of practice for him to master it with his Manectric. His one exposure to truly colossal speeds with Rayquaza, thanks to Eva Morales , helped a lot. "I only teach that to masterclass graduates due to how difficult it is," he answered. "Easter, if you've been a member for this long, you must be familiar with Mauville Gym's unique Pokémon art, the Hypersonic Plasma Charge. Fueled by Quick Attack, it's the fastest land speed any Pokémon can reach." Perhaps if he were to meet june sleigh and her Miraidon, that viewpoint might change. For now, the move made his Pokémon the monarchs of speed.
One day, Swift would be able to join their ranks. He just had to figure out how. And with so much of his time dedicated to helping out on the warfront, that research took a back seat. If anything, working his normal job duties as Gym Leader felt like a treat compared to the hell that was fighting off ambushes from the likes of Tempest Quinn , Absinthe Blackwood , and jayden cross .
"Nope, we've got to work up to that first," Josh replied, his head shaking gently. "You've come a long way, but you've still got a long way to go. But you're advanced enough that I trust you to learn with just about any of my Pokémon." Some of his more exotic steeds would surround him at the Gym's rear entrance. Among them were Toralf, a Raichu that stood on all fours about as high as Easter was tall; Winky, a Greninja that stood a little taller than Josh and looked tremendously nimble; and Milo, a Thievul whose long, bushy tail swayed in the wind. Pura was also present, a stout-looking Purugly whose stubby paws became too blurry to see when he ran.
Just what did he feed these Pokémon for them to grow so big?!
