Hideo was relatively good at earning money. Holding on to it was a whole other matter; whether some sudden issue arose or a whim struck, he was spending what he earned fast. Such was the consequence of going from a heavily-restricted home life to one with almost unlimited freedom, though he didn't acknowledge it.

And the current job he was doing lined up somewhat with what he wanted to do; flying people from place to place also meant he himself got to go from place to place. And a big reason he left home was to explore more of the region.

So with a carriage provided by the company, all Hideo had to do was provide the Pokemon. He'd wanted to bring his Drampa, but people apparently preferred a flying-type, so he was putting his Dragonite to work. Not that he didn't mind it; after Hugger's hugging session, the Pokemon was more than ready to do his job.

So now was just a matter of waiting for a customer to arrive. Hideo played around on his phone, his Beheeyem paying attention to anyone that looked like they needed his services.

While Rae generally prefers walking or running places, sometimes situations demanded that she needed something a little bit faster. She’d forgotten about a match she was supposed to play in and needed to get across the region as quick as possible. She really would prefer keeping her feet on the ground but… There’s really no other option, as terrible as that is.[break]

She’d heard about the new Pokemon taxi service that had started and was hoping to be able to find one. Flying Pokemon ought to be pretty quick, right? It’s not like she’d be in the air for too long.[break]

She’s approached by a Beeheyem that points out a young kid standing next to a Dragonite. Was… it trying to indicate something to her? The kid didn’t look like he was working- or even like he was old enough to work. Still, she was desperate enough to try.[break]

“Scuse me,” she says, following the psychic type back to its Trainer. “Are… you by any chance giving rides? I heard about this taxi service and your Beeheyem seemed to point me over to you."

Hideo got a Telepathic *ping* from his Beheeyem, the psychic-type walking off. He stowed away his phone, assuming that notification was him being told someone was here.

And sure enough, he was right: his Beheeyem brought someone over, asking about the taxi service. “Yup!” he exclaimed, raising his hand to wave. “Elga there’s right! We’re giving rides. My Dragonite here is more than capable of flying people through the region.” Said Dragonite raised his hand, waving just like his trainer.

Though the only indication they were doing taxi service was the carriage; neither Hideo nor his Pokemon wore anything that indicated they were actually workers.

Need a ride somewhere? You can do payments through the app, or you can pay at the destination.

“Yeah,” she says, grateful to have found someone. “I hate to rush you, but I need to be down in Slateport real quick. I’m super glad your Beheeyem- Elga, right? I’m glad it flagged me down!”[break]

Now that she has a ride, her mind moves on to other things. She looks up at the Dragonite and the carriage it’s standing next to. It looks quick. And trustworthy. It probably won’t drop her, right? There’s nothing to worry about. Nothing at all. She crosses her arms one way, then the other, then back to the first, nervous about the flight.[break]

She finally looks the kid up and down. Her mental filter seems to be turned off at the moment, as she begins speaking before it can stop what she’s about to say. “But… aren’t you a little young to be a cab driver?”

There was a brief frown from Hideo at the mention of Slateport. It wasn't a place he wanted to be returning to any time soon; he wanted to save it for his last trip on his gym circuit, if he even had to do it as his 8th badge.

But he was quick to bring his smile back. "Slateport's an easy enough route! I know the way there as well as the back of my hand!" Heck, he even knew a lot of the city itself. "And we can get there nice and quick! My Dragonite here's faster than he looks!"

The mention of his age did give him pause, but he didn't let it get to him.

"Nah, I can handle it! You're not the first person I've flown around. My Beheeyem does a lot of the navigating anyways." It'd be a little hard for Hideo himself to direct a flight, after all.

Maybe he'd listed his age as a few years higher than what it was. But that wasn't an issue: his Dragonite had done this before, and he could easily do it again.

It was just a matter of waiting for his passenger to enter. His Dragonite would be notified by the Beheeyem after the doors were secured, and it would take the carriage in its hands, lifting it up into the air.

His response is so earnest and confident, she can’t help but be convinced at his qualifications to fly. He’s done it before, he can definitely get her there safely. She looks at his Dragonite, sees it smile. It also seems nice enough. The faster it goes, the faster she’s back on the ground, right? She has nothing to worry about.[break]

And it sounds like he’s ready for her. “Alright. Great! Perfect! It sounds like you got it under control then. I don’t have the app so I’ll pay you when we get there, alright?”[break]

She looks at the box. Looks sturdy enough, right? It looks comfortable and the mounting where the Pokemon holds on to it seems sturdy.[break]

“So I just, uh… Get in then. Okay!”[break]

She climbs in the door, taking a seat on the bench within. The carriage shakes as the Dragonite takes hold of it and she feels herself tense up. She feels a gust of wind from it starting to get ready to go. She grits her teeth. When she feels the carriage leave the ground, she reaches for the closest handhold and grips it tightly, her knuckles turning a bright white. Her gaze is fixed forward as she does her best to avoid looking out the window and down at the ground below.

Hideo nodded. “Yup! Works for me!

He could hear her enter the carriage, and once his Beheeyem told him she was properly seated, he closed the door, securing it tight. “Alright, Elga, let him know!” he said, the dots on the Beheeyem’s right hand blinking as the message was sent. The Dragonite stretched his body for a moment, before taking hold of the carriage, his wings flapping as he gradually brought the box into the air.

It takes him a moment to build up speed,” Hideo said, casually lying back in his seat. The Dragonite flew forward at a gentle pace, the carriage slightly swaying.

But this wasn’t going to just be a gentle flight; his passenger was in a rush. “Let him know to pick up the pace,” Hideo said to his Beheeyem.

Another quick set of blinks, and there was a brief pause in the flight as a bright light enveloped the Dragonite. Hideo grabbed onto an armrest in the carriage. “You may want to grab something.

As if on cue, his Dragonite shot forward with his Dragon Rush, the carriage tilting as he flew forward at a great speed. Fortunately, his passenger was tilted down; it was only Hideo that had to worry about possibly falling forward, but that was taken care of by his Beheeyem, who Psychically ensured the boy stayed in his place.

So, do you go to Slateport often?” Hideo asked, trying to inject a bit of levity in their rush.

Rae, who already has a tight grip on whatever handle she could get her hands on, gives a quick nod of understanding. She opens her eyes before Dragonite shoots forwards, seeing Hideo casually laying back. She sees the lights on his Beheeyem blink and then…[break]

Oh god. She’s falling. She’s falling backwards and she’s gonna die and-[break]

And she hits the back of the seat, the carriage stabilizing as Dragonite hits its top speed. She’s looking up at Hideo, adrenaline coursing through her veins. She’s gonna die. She’s definitely gonna die. At least she gets to look up at the sky and not down at the ground and her impending doom.[break]

And he’s asking her questions? She barely catches what Hideo’s asking, but it carries through the wind and hits her ears. She unclenches her jaw to answer, realizing how tense she was right now. This was definitely going to hurt her when she has to play a full match later…[break]

“Yeah! Slateport has a great stadium- almost as good as the one back home in Nimbasa. I go there to play sports every so often- I have a soccer game there today that I’m a little late for!”

Hideo and his Beheeyem were able to comfortably stay in their seats. It wasn't the first time they'd had his Dragonite go at this speed, and they could stay like this for the rest of the trip. While they were going quite fast, the carriage didn't sway, providing a stably-tilted ride to Slateport.

His Beheeyem didn't inform him of their passenger's distress.

"Nimbasa?" Hideo parroted. "I dunno where that is, but it doesn't sound like anywhere in Hoenn." Which meant she wasn't from around here. "Well, we get plenty of people from other regions. I actually know a decent number of people from Kanto!" Though with what he heard was going on there, it was no surprise people were wanting to leave that region. "So do you get to go to a whole bunch of other regions for your games?"

A little chat would help occupy time, as apart from that burst of speed from the Dragon Rush, the rest of the flight would be uneventful; any wild Pokemon in the sky knew better than to get in the way of a rushing Dragonite.

In due time, they'd arrive at the designated landing zone for air taxis - a couple minutes walk from the stadium. Once Hideo felt the carriage touch the ground, he was up, heading over and unlocking the carriage.

"So, will that be cash or credit?" he asked, a small smile on his face.

They looked so comfortable over there, relaxing even though they were tilting down. Hideo and the Beheeyem make this seem like it’s natural, even though Rae’s heart was about to explode.



“Yeah!” She said. “It’s overseas, in Unova! The lights, the sounds, the big Chesto! I’m kinda settling in here- I was drafted to a league in Hoenn and now I’m living here. I’m planning on it though! Maybe I’ll finally make the Unovan national team one day and be able to travel the world… or maybe I’ll set my roots down so deep in Hoenn that I play here!”



The conversation distracts her enough that they’re back on the ground and she barely even notices. But when Hideo opens the door and she’s able to get back on the ground, she practically leaps out of the door and planting her feet firmly on the ground.



She pats her pockets, trying to locate her wallet before noticing it sitting on the seat of the taxi. “I have cash!” She pulls out a wad of cash, making sure to give Hideo a huge tip for his great service.



She sprints of, waving over her shoulder. “Thanks again! Have a good one!”
