Beryl was clinging to Suicune's mane with clenched hands, gasping for breath after their scrape against the wall. The pounding of a second set of feet beside them told her that Josh and Raikou had caught up. Then, after they had cleared the section of wall that formed the sharp left turn, she felt a sudden shift in the air -- Suicune using its last bit of energy to put on a show for the crowd. As Beryl looked up, the Beast let out a roar, kicking up a savage wind that rattled the stands and knocked Beryl's goggles loose from her forehead. The world to either side faded into a blur...

When Beryl shouted at Suicune for a sprint to the finish, Josh knew he had to follow suit despite his pain from the previous impact. Swift didn't hesitate either, shooting a burst of electricity through its tail before rushing alongside Suicune. He hoped the raw speed would let him overtake his friend, but the yellow-clad racer had his doubts.

A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
Articuno demonstrated incredible speed after Geoff's sigh of relief when he didn't get caught up in the mess below. He felt like nothing could stop him as the ice bird he flew on swerved wildly back and forth, building speed unlike anything he'd ever seen before. He was racing just inside Billy and Entei, taking care not to fly directly above.
The fireproof Billy rode directly inside Entei's flames, the two rocketing forward as a giant, living fireball in an effort to catch Swift and Suicune despite being so far behind...and it would have worked if the two Beasts ahead weren't being pushed to their limits.
Josh couldn't take too much more of this mad rush. He didn't care if he fell after crossing the finish line--he just wanted to show Beryl he was the best racer out there. Swift was determined, too, pushing through the pain of the bruises all over its right side from that horrible impact. The Beast got its wish--it passed Suicune and developed a small lead along the home stretch. Then, Suicune's winds kicked in, throwing Josh's rhythm off when Swift adjusted. The two Beasts collided, Swift letting out a cry of agony as the electric-type dizzily crashed into the inside wall just past the finish line. Beryl and Suicune crossed less than a tenth of a second later, with Billy and Geoff finishing several seconds out.
{I told you I could outrun all of you!} Swift bragged despite being sprawled on the ground not too far past the line. Josh was sprawled on the ground, as well, his momentum from the fall causing him to roll several hundred feet up the track.
