Pikababe - Rustboro International airport
The exit was indeed blocked by a large crowd of people. I could not tell why they were all gathered there but somehow managed to reach the doors thanks to my small size. Outside in the bright light, I was disappointed to see that the crowd was out here too!
But now I could see what the big deal was. A single taxi was waiting for a passenger and everyone was trying to shove their way onto it. (If a zombie did show up here it would have a field day with this huge mob) I think to myself. "Theres no time to lose!" (I recall hoot hoot and throw out Raichus poke ball)
"Big sis, use Sweet kiss!" Raichu starts blowing kisses into the crowd which confuses and distracts those closest to the taxi. As Raichu kisses, we struggle through the mob and finally dive for the cab!
Amazingly we make it inside on the back seat and Raichu shuts the door! But we are not alone, 2 other people had managed to somehow get in along with someones Arcanine which made it incredibly cramped. The driver asks "where to?" One of the people flashes a large stack of cash at the driver and says, "Lilycove city right away, its an emergency!!"
Its not what I had had in mind but anywhere would be better than the airport right now. The driver floors it and people in the crowd jump out of the way! He confidently states, "I know a shortcut!"
-
The cab makes godly speed to Lilycove but not without a price. The headlights are smashed, 2 of 4 tires are punctured and smoke is rising out of the trunk and engine from bumping into things in the wilderness. No wonder taxis are so rare in Hoenn. (and other pokemon regions)
Everyone piles out of the cab and the driver is paid a ridiculous amount. As we move toward the beach, the taxi explodes in a huge fireball! (This doesnt bother the driver at all as he walks off while counting the money)
The 2 other men and Arcanine run down to the water as if following some kind of scanner. Wondering what the big rush is about, I follow.
They manage to pull a very soggy and cold nurse Joy out of the water. She is in rough shape but still has a pulse! As if answering the question that I was thinking, one of the men says "Every pokemon nurse has a miniature homing beacon in case they need to help someone away from a pokemon center. We were sent to assist her but got delayed." (muttering) "Dam it, this means there are zombies."
The 2nd man backs away looking freaked out. "No, I cant die here, ahh, AAHH! I, I gotta get outta here!" He runs away as fast as he can!
The one with the scanner lifts nurse Joy onto the Arcanine before speaking again. "I'm taking her to a hospital, if you value your life, you should go and hide somewhere until this is all over." Arcanine, the man and the nurse all leave in the direction of the hospital.
Me and Raichu remain on the beach not too far from the docks. As the sky grows dark with clouds and the remains of the taxi burn, I look on as the Arcanine disappears from view...
