The PikaTaxi is a transportation service available in nearly every one of Torren's settlements. The PikaTaxi guy is able to take the player to any other settlement, given that they have been there before. After travelling on the PikaTaxi, the player is dropped off in front of the destination's Pokémon Center. Each trip costs 500. After using the PikaTaxi fifteen times, the player will receive a VIP Pass, which grants unlimited free rides. Because the PikaTaxi was implemented as a replacement for the Rocket Boots, players who had the Rocket Boots prior to 1.1 are given a VIP Pass.
After getting a VIP Pass and obtaining the 6th Badge, the player is able to inquire about a Quest that the PikaTaxi guy would like assistance in completing, which involves recovering two parts of his taxi that were stolen from his garage. The first Taxi Machine Piece is located in the middle of Route 15 and the second can be bought back from the Black Market after the player has asked for more information about the PikaTaxi guy's Quest. Returning the Taxi Pieces to the PikaTaxi guy will allow him to upgrade the PikaTaxi to the EmolgaTaxi, which gives the player the ability to Soar or Fly as they wish.
The PikaTaxi guy will also appear in front of every tent of each Holon Region settlement but only if the player has helped him upgrade the PikaTaxi to the EmolgaTaxi. The player is only given the option to Soar in the Holon region, as it is still a relatively unexplored region that does not have a proper map.
After clearing the Elite Four and becoming the new Torren Champion, talking to the PikaTaxi guy again will grant the player access to the Pikapad, which allows the use of Fly without needing to use the Hidden Machine or the PikaTaxi.
