Trailblazing to the Cosmos

Meteor Falls, as sacred of a location as it was in Hoenn, had a commonly-traveled cavern trail that connected the nearby Fallarbor Town with the distant Rustboro City. The only other major feature was the "Aero Dive" Pokémon Race course built around the main falls. It was known among competitors and fans alike to be the fastest course in Hoenn, a leap from the side of the falls to a steep downslope just barely within Federation safety limits. It sent Pokémon and riders hurtling forward at speeds far beyond normal capabilities.

That wasn't where Shalin was headed, though. With Prance and Flit, she was going to head up the main mountain Meteor Falls was inside of. There was no trail up the mountain anywhere, on account of the terrain being just too rugged to carve a trail out of. These kinds of places often were home to nature's most beautiful landscapes, wonders of the natural world, and even relics of ancient civilizations built on wondrous technology lost to the sands of time.

Jugan curled his tail around the front end of Flit's saddle, Shalin sitting right behind the Snivy. The two of them took in the view of the morning sun reflecting beautifully off the crag filled with small craters that seemed to defy the effects of erosion. She could only imagine what was nestled out of human eyesight high up the mountain!

Shalin would have loved to climb up the mountain's mostly-open interior, but flying a Yanmega into an enclosed space like that was asking for a cave-in. She could already feel a massage-like vibration just from her bug-type stretching his wings. Her plan was to look for an entry point as far up the mountain as Flit could carry her, then have Prance carry her the rest of the way.

In the end, the wild, untameable nature of the Meteor Falls kept reminding her of home. Of better times, quieter times, long since past. Safer times, too, but with her line of work "safe" was heavily redundant, she could try, but in the end being passive about anything would not land her jobs. It would not let her overcome the hurdles thrown unto her path, and she wouldn't have succeeded in so many of said jobs if she had merely played things safe. Although not every time, Yvaine enjoyed the thrill of a dangerous situation every so often, to stay on her toes.

It's why a surprise hike had been her go-to as of late. She'd purposely steered clear of the paths other people took and had ventured towards its steep cliffs and rugged slopes. Zoroark had been with her for most of the way, but now even her favored friend had trouble scaling these mountains, and had been recalled so that the red-haired mercenary could continue without worry. She was free-climbing at that moment, the minimal amount of gear strapped around her waist, an extra rope on her back, prematurely fastened to a locking carabiner just in case anything went wrong. Experienced as she was, courtesy of her father's rigourous training, Yvaine did not take chances... not too many, anyway.

A subtle change in the wind made her stop, steading herself on the rocky surface. High in the mountains an otherwise gentle gust could become a traitorous thing if one didn't pay attention. But this was different. She could almost feel the wind vibrating... and growing louder... no, that wasn't the wind. There was no way the wind would do that. A pokémon...? Tightening her grip Yvaine turned her body 90 degrees, and her head even further, to see what was happening behind her.

A surge of vibration coursed through Shalin's body as the immense dragonfly leaped into the air. She had earplugs in when soaring on the bug-type for a reason; as much fun as it was to ride a Pokémon with seemingly limitless agility in the air, she also valued her hearing. "Wahoo!" she cried as she felt Flit's wings surging from trying to deal with turbulent winds so high up.

After making a nearly complete circle around the particular peak she was looking for an entrance into, she caught sight of a long-haired redhead looking to climb straight up the steep cliff without the use of a Pokémon. Both of them curious, Shalin wheeled Flit around to the ledge the stranger was making the climbing attempts from. Thankfully, there was plenty of room for a large flying Pokémon to land.

Small stones that happened to be on the cliff face were sent flying from the Yanmega's wake when he floated in for a landing. When the girl's fine, green-dyed hair stopped blowing about like she was in the world's most chaotic wind tunnel, she took out her earplugs after making sure the droning had stopped. She didn't dare dismount; her thighs were still throbbing from the flight, and a fall from her jelly legs giving out could be fatal.
