Ash and his friends didn't make it far before Nemona received a call from an upperclassman named Arven. From the little Ash could hear of the call, Arven seemed like a rather angry individual with some major issues.
"Sorry guys," Nemona sighed, "Arven wants us to meet him at the lighthouse on Poco Path. We should probably backtrack and head there so we can meet up with him. Sadly, it will take us a while to make it there..."
Serena frowned let out a frustrated groan.
"How long is 'a while', Nemona?" She asked.
Nemona looked around at their surroundings to gather some information on where they were. She sadly didn't have a very solid answer, so Josh spoke up.
"Since we can still see the river that flow's into the moat of Mesagoza, I'd say we're about four, maybe even five hours from Cortondo. If we ran all the way back to Mesagoza, it might take us ten minutes to make it bac-"
"Why don't we just take a Flying Taxi?" Flow suggested, cutting Josh off.
Ash's eyes lit up. He had never been on a Flying Taxi before!
"Yeah, fine, I guess..." Josh mumbled, "I'll call one to pick us up."
"Oh, wow!" Ash exclaimed, "You hear that Pikachu?"
"Pika!" Pikachu nodded from Ash's shoulder.
Soon, the Flying Taxi arrived!
"Whoever came up with this is a genius!" Ash grinned, "Every region should have these things!"
"Galar also has them, Ash," Serena giggled, "But I do agree. More regions should implement these things. It doesn't seem very hard to master the science of, either."
"Man, science is so amazing!" Ash shouted with stars in his eyes.
****************
Poco Path, 1:30 PM
Ash thanked the Taxi's driver and exited the carriage. He looked around him with a large smile on his face.
"Ash, come on!" Nemona shouted from up ahead, "You've gotta see this!"
Ash ran up the hill where the rest of the group stood and joined them. The view left Ash and Pikachu star-struck!
"Pikachu!" Pikachu yelled.
"Oh, wow!" Serena gasped.
Suddenly, two loud cries shook the ground around them! Any Pokémon that were around went silent and scrambled to hide!
"What was that?!" Flow asked.
"Hey, Ash!" Nemona said, "I bet it's a super strong Pokémon, let's go find it!"
Ash nodded and raised his fist into the air.
"Let's go!" He exclaimed and ran off with Nemona.
As he ran down the hill, he stumbled and fell. He rolled a bit, but made an awesome recovery and continued running!
