She is [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife is very unsure of her future]] because everyone at her school thinks that she'll easily follow in her father's footsteps but she honestly doesn't even know if she even likes Pokémon. And after a bad day at school and an even worse afternoon at her father's research lab that leaves her feeling like no one actually cares for her or the fact that she doesn't want a life involving Pokémon, Chloe decides to run away from home. However, before she can form a concrete plan on how to exactly do that, she's picked up by a mysterious train and wakes up with the number '151' tattooed on her right hand in something that does ''not'' look like the interior of a train.

Even ''[[TheDitz Ash]]'' realizes that Goh has just shoved his foot into his mouth.

Taking place before episode 29 of ''Pokémon Journeys'' and prior to Book 3 of ''Infinity Train'', it tells of Chloe Cerise running away from home after a bad day at school and feeling like no one actually cares for her or the fact that she doesn't want a life involving Pokémon. However, before she can even decide to leave Vermillion City to conduct a journey of her own, she's picked up by a mysterious train and wakes up with the number '151' on her right hand.

Even though the a spherical robot with two personalities tells her that she can go home once her number drops to zero, Chloe has no plans on going back home if she knows that all that is waiting for her is her ignorant father, her Pokémon obsessed ChildhoodFriend Goh, Ash "Black Hole" Ketchum, and a bunch of students who only see her with a future Pokémon career. Instead, she meets up with the King of Corginia and the Uniter of the Pembrokes and Cardigans, Atticus who wishes to accompany her on her journey as they set forth to explore what the train has in store for them...

All while she is unaware of how her ignorant father and ChildhoodFriend are concerned as to where she vanished off to.
