The defiant-looking Skiddo, the size of a vehicle, was lined up next to Josh and Granmarg, his arms wrapped behind Ares as the fire-type sat shotgun in the equine's saddle. "Alright, Ares, I'll need you to run interference while I drive, okay?" Josh asked, the strong Charmeleon holding his tail with one hand and the front of the seat with the other.

"Tonight, we dine on roadkill. Steamed roadkill," the Charmeleon replied. "And when are you taking me into another instance? We gotta fast track you to level 21. Granmarg ain't got nothin' on me."

The horse shook his head as the countdown began, a racing UI now overlaid on top of his standard one. On "one", the giant took off without them, the boss having a full one-second head start. The back of Ares' head bonked into Josh's chest as he leaned into the wind when the race started, the Charmeleon not used to the sudden and powerful acceleration of a speed-trained Mudsdale.

Xira's wings roared, the Yanma able to keep pace with the boss and distract it like a Ribombee buzzing in one's ear. With STRING SHOT aimed at the quick grass-type's legs, Xira sought to slow the bounding creature down. Josh and Granmarg, too, caught up to the grass-type, the horse kicking up dirt and rocks in a MUD-SLAP to weigh it down. Lastly, Ares would get in on the fun, whipping his tail toward the Skiddo and raining a cloud of EMBERS upon it.

With all three racers in close proximity, the boss wasn't having it, lowering his horns and performing a nasty HORN LEECH spin attack in an effort to hurl the Pokémon over the unguarded right edge.

The SEED BOMB sent Ares flying out of the saddle, a disgusting squish all he needed to hear as Josh reached for the spent fire-type's Poké Ball. There was no need; due to the high speed he was traveling at, his fallen partners were automatically recalled as soon as he was out of range. Clicking two more Poké Balls open, a Rufflet rest on Granmarg's head while a Manectric galloped alongside the young man.

As Josh and his Mudsdale rounded the course's final turns, the fighting-type Pokémon high sbove rolled their boulders down the steep cliffs in quick succession, disaster raining upon Josh and his Pokémon from above. "Get ahead of it, Granmarg! Faster!" he cried, urging his steed to SPRINT. Vigorously bouncing in the saddle, Josh watched his speed climb, his thighs already thumping before Slider blew a WHIRLWIND behind the horse and making them go even faster. His tricky gambit had paid off, rewarding him with the lead coming into the home stretch.

Even so, several thousand units remained in the race, and he still had Saber to harass the giant grass-type with. After being electrocuted by a SPARK, the boss put on a speed boost of its own, extending its VINE WHIPS and whirling them into Josh and his team in a nasty spin attack that Josh's mount attempted to deflect away with a DOUBLE KICK to the rear!
