Soaring is a feature introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire which has been simulated and integrated into Pokémon Insurgence. Soaring allows the player to enter a 3D rendering of the maps of both the Torren and Holon regions where they can move around through the sky and discover various Pokémon and new locations. It is only accessible by completing the PikaTaxi guy's quest and upgrading the PikaTaxi to the EmolgaTaxi. As the player cannot use Fly in the Holon region, Soaring remains the only method of fast travel that the player can use while in the region.
Mechanics
Soaring can first be accessed after completing the PikaTaxi guy's quest and upgrading the PikaTaxi to the EmolgaTaxi. After speaking to him when these requirements have been met, the player is given the option to Soar or Fly.
While soaring, several wild Flying-type Pokémon may be encountered, as well as new locations that are otherwise inaccessible by exploring the region on foot. Players may also freely travel to any previously visited location, much in the same way as flying.
Pressing Q and W rotates the camera angle while pressing T and Y zooms the camera out and in respectively.
Landing
As the player passes over locations that are marked on the Torren map, they may interact with their cursor over a Pokémon Center or other similar feature of significance to land in that location. This works in the same way and with the same restrictions as Fly does outside of battle. Mainly, this means that a location must have been visited on the ground before the player can land. In a few cases, a certain location must be visited before another can be visited.

A special reward awaits those who are able to defeat all nine developers.
