They said no infinity energy was involved, but Lash still was not quite sure. Maybe she just wanted it to be that way, of course. The change she had experienced was outside of what happened to people in Space-Time Distortions usually, after all. But it had happened all the same. Conventional wisdom had not protected her. And it would not stand in her way this time, either.

As always, she was ready to discard her theory, but only after seeing the Pokemon in question with her own eyes. People always told her off anyway, just because of how she looked. There was no time debating others or asking them. Not like she needed their permission anyway. All she needed was the Hydreigon she currently was riding and the rest of her team, still safely secured in the balls on her belt as they soared over this route at night, looking for the golden gleam that supposedly indicated their prey nearby. Supposedly, there was some kind of large insect type that had taken residence in this area. And she was going to find it, one way or another.

If nothing else, someone probably would pay a lot of money for a golden gleaming Scyther or so.

Josh lurched backward in Kokusho's cocoon saddle as the Hydreigon took off in a powerful motion he was not used to. It had been almost six months since he had held the reins of the three-headed dragon, and with him still missing some mobility in his left arm, steering the behemoth would take a lot of re-acclimation. A reminder that soaring on the back of the dark-type dragon required equal strength from Pokémon and rider.

Once they were at altitude, all Josh needed to do was survey Route 104 for the golden-glowing Scyther that Rustboro's Rangers asked for his aid in scouting... and stay out of any searchlights coming from the Rocket-occupied Petalburg. Embers, cold mist, and sparks dripped from Kokusho's three heads as they turned toward Lash.

Naturally, in situations like these, her Hydreigon would manage to notice its counterpart long before she did. Maybe it was sound, maybe it was smell, or maybe it could somehow notice air being displaced in a peculiar way. Whatever it was, her Hydreigon suddenly became a bit unruly, with two of its heads snapping towards the side, even before she could make out the other rider in the sky.

But that was something they both were at least somewhat prepared for. They changed course so that they were creating some distance from that rider without necessarily showing their backs to the other. Her own Hydreigon was also gathering elements, just in case it would be called into action.

After all, they both had been through some rough riding back when they had tried to investigate that island. Both trigger-happy Rockets and League infiltrators could easily become problematic, especially at low visibility, so it was best to remain vigilant, see how they would act when they got closer.

Seeing another Hydreigon rider in the sky, Josh reined Kokusho's main head toward her, his own dragon's heads dripping embers, sparks, and cold mist. The face atop the dark-type looked familiar, but he couldn't quite put a name to the face. Instead, he flew alongside the six-winged Pokémon, seeing if she would break the ice first.

They might not have time to do that; a glint of bright, golden light would catch Josh's attention, its source growing brighter and brighter as it raced toward them on clicking wings that grew louder and louder with each passing second. Josh remembered this before; he had seen a similar phenomenon with and a golden Arcanine. Flicking the Hydreigon's reins, fire dripped from the center mouth, ready to discharge FLAMETHROWER at the noble Pokémon closing in on the duo at quite the clip.

So, the boy did not want to fight. Good. Lash did not really want to, either. She was not one to ignore battles, of course, but doing that in mid-air was usually rather annoying. At least when one was sitting atop a ride. It just was needlessly dangerous.

And yes, she was aware of the hypocrisy of saying that when she was chasing space-time distortions all over the place. But that was, again, the point. She was already taking those risks because she felt she needed to. Taking on more pointlessly was not a smart move.

Which was also why she and her Hydreigon would react the way they did when a golden light came streaking towards her. The other rider was obviously readying an attack there, continuing to move towards the approaching Pokemon. Lash, in the meantime, signalled her Pokemon through the reins to hold back a bit, move to the side and above the other to create some distance. Ultimately, she would seek to have it out of reach of the assailant, so that Hydreigon could Focus Power in peace, while she leaned in and observed the imminent first exchange.

The FLAMETHROWER singed the golden Pokémon, but not as badly as Josh expected from a Pokémon capable of making that noise. By the time he could identify it as a Noble Scyther, based on his other encounters with the Pokémon, it was too late; the giant insect was already on top of Kokusho, slashing across the slower foe with FURY CUTTER after FURY CUTTER. Even the Master of Faster could not react in time, the dark-type loudly roaring when the wild's blades cut through his scales like they were fabric. The Hydreigon struggled to fly.

Like warned him before, this was no ordinary Pokémon. A noble guardian of Hisui, displaced by space and time. "We have to flee!" Josh called out toward the familiar face he couldn't put a name to. Little did they know that simply fleeing wouldn't get the Scyther off their tails. Unlike the Noble Arcanine, this ancient Pokémon was out for blood.

Whelp. Good call there. Apparently, normal attacks did not work too well on that Scyther – and it was shredding through the other Hydreigon with surprising ease. Which was rather interesting to begin with. Something about it gave off a certain vibe, the kind that intrigued her. The kind of light she had seen before. In distortions.

So, like heck was she going to just run away. Especially not after she had just finished setting up. “Well, maybe you have to flee. Which seems kind of difficult right now, so hold on a little,” she called back across the winds, before patting her own Hydreigon. “Release the Tri Attack, try to focus on freeze. Then get more distance, it will likely come after us next,” she ordered while bracing herself for the manoeuvre as the three-headed dragon finally started exhale its elements at the opponent.

Hopefully, that guy would catch her drift. That thing was fast and strong. But it was alone. It could not be in two places at once. As long as it went after one of them, the other had free reign to attack.

This Scyther acted like ones from Distortions. Increased size, increased aggression, and increased speed. It would have been one Josh tried to outright capture and add to his Gym's massive roster. If there was a Pokémon that had the right size and body shape to strap a saddle to, he wanted it at his Gym. Even if the species wasn't traditionally fast, he could make it fast. There was even a new Internet meme circulating about; it was a giant Slowpoke wearing a saddle, ferrying Josh past a galloping Rapidash in a slight blur. While this was, of course, an egregious exaggeration, there was truth in it. The Mauville Leader really would ride almost any Pokémon.

"Kokusho, floor it!" Josh shouted over the wind. "DOUBLE TEAM!" The three heads all leaned in, the dark-type dragon stretching his six wings and zooming away from the Scyther. It matched the DOUBLE TEAM with a DOUBLE TEAM of its own, the illusory copies quickly dispatched in the wake of the ally Hydreigon's TRI-ATTACK. The golden mantis Pokémon hissed at and her dragon with another volley of FURY CUTTER swipes, trying to cleave them both into pieces.
