Ten thousand meters above the ground.
Wearing goggles and a scarf, Baimu looked down at the Shiny Rayquaza beneath him. The wind battering his face kept him from speaking, let alone whooping, but he still felt a surge of excitement.
I'm riding Rayquaza!
Even the games didn't let you do that. At most, you could ride Charizard or Dragonite in Let's Go! Pikachu and Let's Go! Eevee...
To be honest.
Riding Rayquaza wasn't particularly comfortable. It flew so fast at this altitude that Baimu had to keep hold of one of its horns or risk being thrown off.
But was any of that a problem?
No!
The satisfaction of riding Rayquaza came from something deeper. It was like reaching the summit of Mount Everest, planting a flag, and roaring at the sky.
For that, he could endure the cold and exhaustion.
This is amazing.
Baimu happily stroked the Shiny Rayquaza's head. He had barely rubbed it twice when it suddenly let out a long cry.
"Raaah!"
The bell-like sound rang across the sky, and the vibration nearly numbed his backside.
Uh.
Guess I shouldn't touch a dragon's head without asking...

Oh, I see.
