Chloe was still new around these parts so she found herself often getting lost. It didn't help that she had a terrible sense of direction to begin with. Chloe didn't even want to think about what had happened earlier, Lilly her vaporeon had caused trouble yet again. At the park Lilly managed to snag an entire couples picnic meal, the couple didn't seem to be very angry instead they were were interested in the vaporeon. Around these parts they weren't seen very often was what she was told. Though Chloe still felt greatly embarrassed with what Lilly did. The couple was kind enough to forgive her, but if they weren't nice people. Chloe wouldn't have had any idea how to handle that type of situation. 

In any case, she was ready to leave the Upper District. The only reason she came here was to do a job, otherwise you probably wouldn't find Chloe in such a bustling city. She preferred the nice quiet country side instead. She stayed a little longer then intended, only because her taxi got delayed. The company told her that they were in a tight spot, but promised that one would be arriving to her location soon. Chloe wasn't really one to get angry over such a thing, they did promise her that one would come after all. 

She managed to finally found the location where the company said that the taxi would be. Soon as Chloe turned the corner, she found it the taxi. She was relived to see the glorious corviknight and his trainer. Waving her hand she offered a friendly smile. "Thanks for coming all this way, must of been tiring." Chloe gently stroked the corviknights head with her hand, her smile grew. She always admired corviknight, and it was her first time seeing one this up close. She only had a few bags to load on, "So where should I put these?" She asked Noelani Kekoa

Perhaps Chloe fell in love at first sight with Haku, the corviknight certainly is a gentle little guy. She gave haku one last pat before following after Noelani Kekoa she was amazed at the sight of the cabin. Never having to ride a pokemon taxi before she had no idea what to expect. "Wow what an amazing contraption!" The woman exclaimed, she could feel the rush of excitement rise throughout her body. She was eager to hurry and get inside.  Chloe glanced over towards the trunk that had propped open, her amazement didn't decrease in the slightest. She found it to be even more amusing. Grabbing one luggage she noticed that Noel had offered to help. Smiling thank you, she finished placing one of the luggage's inside the trunk also putting her carry on besides it. Leaving Noel the last luggage to put in. Chloe nodded eagerly in agreement. She gently pulled the cabin door open and stepped inside. 

Sitting down, she was pleased to find out that the seats were more comfortable then she imagined. Though it did seem a little tight. Chloe was a little astonished when Noel mentioned the destination. She had been recently called somewhere to do a ranger mission, although she had some trouble recalling the name of the town. Closing her eyes to gather her thoughts, she recalled that the destination was Rustboro City. While Chloe wasn't to eager to be in another city, it couldn't be helped due to their being an urgent matter she had to deal with when she would arrive. "Take me to Rustboro City please!" 

Chloe nodded, she got the gist of what Noel was saying, it explained why they looked slightly different from taxi's she saw beforehand. Chloe thought it was amazing how they combined the two together to create a new project. Impressed with the knowledge of Noel it felt reassuring, he seemed to know what he was doing. She felt somewhat relieved. 

She perked up and straightened herself out to listen very carefully to Noel, giving him a thumbs up to signal that she understood all the precautions. There was doubt that an emergency would actually occur. Taking a quick glance up at the sky, which seemed perfectly clear. It didn't seem like a storm was brewing either, however knowing the bizarre weather conditions, it couldn't be said with confidence. 

The slight rise of the cart startled her, she hadn't prepared herself of flight quite yet, but it was too late. Taking a quick peak outside through the window, her eyes widened with amazement. Everything had looked so tiny, it was quite the view to behold. As they were in the air, Chloe spotted out many pokemon including the talonflame which Noel had released earlier. She gave it a small wave, and glanced around as they continued to rise in height. 

Chloe realized something, she never gave the driver her name! How rude of her. Glancing around the cabin for a way to communicate, she spotted out the walky-talky. To certain on how it works, she decided to just go ahead and speak into it. "This is a bit late of an introduction, I'm Chloe. Chloe Porter!." Chloe spoke into the walky-talky a little louder then necessary, but she wanted for the driver to hear him. "The view is quite amazing in here! It's my first time riding in a pokemon taxi. It really is a experience!" She commented with a small laugh.

"It's nice to meet you Noelani, and don't worry! I can handle a rough ride." Chloe replied in a confident voice, the bumpier it was the more fun and thrilling it would be right? Chloe had always enjoyed the thrill, it made her feel more alive then ever. Taking a quick glance through the windows, Chloe noticed something strange. A grey cloud that seemed to be building in size, from her deduction it was ash from the nearby volcano but wasn't certain. When Noelani suddenly spoke through the walky-talky, she was slightly prepared for it. She rolled up the window as quick as she could, unfortunately it wasn't quick enough. Small dose of ash entered through the window resulting in hectic coughing from Chloe. She used her hands to attempt and fan it out, but the ash didn't dissipate easily. 

Pulling up the collar of her shirt to cover her mouth with one hand, she figured that she would need to hold out till they got past the ash cloud for the ashes to fully dissipate. Her eyes began to tear up from the remnants of the ashes, attempting to look outside the window to see what had been happening. She spotted out the orange light that acted as a beacon, Chloe assumed it was the Talonflames doing and was rather impressed at the coordination. She managed to crack out a small chuckle. 

A larger shake had Chloe gripping at the wall of the cabin, that was a little unexpected but it seemed to be okay..  Taking another look throughout the window Chloe managed to catch a glimpse of a small skarmory, it concerned her a little since she knew that young ones always had a flock nearby. Hopefully it wouldn't cause more problems. 

"That, wasn't so bad!" Chloe spoke into the walky-talky with a light cough and surprising enthusiastic laughter.

At the time, Chloe was to distracted looking on as the flock continued to fly pass them. She wasn't able to fully see them as they flew in the cover of the ash cloud, but she caught glimpses of at least ten of them. It was a decent sized flock for this time of season. She let out a small sigh in relief when the cabin's shakiness had somewhat toned down, though it didn't that they were passed the ash cloud just yet. Feeling concern for Noelani, she wondered how he handled the skarmory. They were fierce pokemon that Chloe preferred to avoid.


The loud cry of a skarmory caused Chloe to cover her ears in shear shock, her concern only growing. All the other skarmory seemed to pass by silently, she had hoped that nothing happened to the driver. Chloe was unable to see the bird in its entirety, but judging from the bottom half she managed to catch a look of, it was obvious that the alpha flew by. Feeling glad that everything seemed to be alright, since there was no words coming from the walky-talky. Chloe began to relax and settled back into the comfy chair of the cabin. She felt slightly tired from all the chaos, and decided it would be best to take a quick nap.


Slowly drifting off, unable to make out what Noelani had said before hand. Chloe fell asleep, even after the whole incident it was surprising how she could sleep so peacefully. It just showed that she had trust in the drivers abilites, and didn't need to be worried unless something extremely bad happened, and she doubted something eventful would happen twice.


The sudden thud stirred Chloe somewhat awake, as she rubbed her eye with her hands to see what had happened. She blinked as she glanced out the window, it seemed that they had already arrived. It was a lot faster then she expected, and she longed to ride the taxi again but it would have to be another day. Glancing towards the door as Noelani had opened it for her like a gentle men, a small grin appeared on her face. As she stepped from the Cabin she gave Oya and Haku a quick thank you wave.


"Thank you, yes it was quite the experience. Even managed to get some rest" Chloe said with a small laugh. She then headed back to the trunk, grabbing all the luggage she needed before heading back towards Noelani. Chloe tucked the card into a secure location and bowed her head to say thanks. Chloe was sure that the card will be useful, it didn't feel right to say goodbye to Noelani here, maybe another day they'll meet again.


"Ill be sure to write a great review for you!" She called out as she waved good bye, she would love to stay and chat but she also had a time crunch. Gazing at the city, her eyes sparkled with anticipation wondering what adventure would await her.
