1st Station ➲ Video

[infinitegrin]

[Hey, haven't you seen this face before, Luceti? Isn't it usually more frown-y, and doesn't that guy wear black?

...Nah, it can't be the same guy, this guy seems so much more exuberant in comparison.]

Got it to work! I am Emmet! I am a Subway Boss. I like trains. I like combinations of two Pokémon. If you have Pokémon, we'll have to battle sometime!

Right! I see a lot of people disembarked on this station instead of the next - I am from the most recent arrival on the schedule! But Ingo is showing me around, so I don't need that much help.

And for those of you who were taking care of my brother while I was away, thank you! He's fussy, but he's a good guy.

[He's-] I'm Silver. [And. Uh. Ingo is his... They're... Uh... Well...] It's nice to meet you. [Need to make a good impression for Ingo's bro, doing a really bad job-]

[infinitegrin]

--! Oh, Silver! Yes, Ingo told me about you!

[tsuntrader]

[...Wait what] He did? [But- what did he--]

[infinitegrin]

Thank you especially for looking out for him.

[tsuntrader]

[Wh-] But I didn't... [Ingo was looking out for him, not the other way around...]

[Private (mostly)]

[infinitegrin]

[Emmet puts up a filter! It's not a great one because he hasn't quite mastered this magic device, so anyone persistent enough could peer in.]

Even if you don't think you did much, you did, I can tell.

[He's actually pretty chill and calm, looking a lot more like Ingo like that.]

Knowing he's been around for eight whole months... I'm glad he had some people around to keep him company.

[Private (mostly)]

[tsuntrader]

[Silver, despite being in Luceti for well over a year, still hasn't really bothered with filters, so he can't really help. But the tone change definitely gets to him. He'd definitely be worried. Who wouldn't be? And this is his twin brother.]

..He told me he was with you all the time. [Has it really been eight months?] If it really meant that much, I'm glad. [Because no one deserves to be alone here.]

[Private (mostly)]

[infinitegrin]

[You worry about your family, in these situations!]

We work and live together, and it's always been that way.

He's a worry-wart, so if he goes too long without someone to distract him, he'll just sit and dig himself into a hole.

[Private (mostly)]

[tsuntrader]

[...Alright, alright. He already misses the enthusiastic guy. Besides, he'd rather avoid digging into this topic.]

You're being a worry-wart yourself.

[infinitegrin]

[And Emmet removes that filter just like that!]

Siblings just worry like that! But anyway, now you and I can be friends, too!

[tsuntrader]

[Wh- Where did--] ...Yeah. Sure.

[infinitegrin]

You're a trainer, right, Silver?

[tsuntrader]

...Yeah. Yeah I am.

[infinitegrin]

Then once I find my Pokémon, you and I should battle. Double battle!

[tsuntrader]

[Oh. Uh. Well he kind of already did when he was inside your brother as a subway, but-]

Which Pokémon do you have? [QUICK, EVASIVE MANEUVER]

[infinitegrin]

[That was a multi battle, Silver, don't get that mixed up! Also, Ingo is a good battler but Emmet is a fantastic double battler.]

Right now? Galvantula. I haven't found the other two.

[tsuntrader]

One of them's some weird metal bug thing, right?

[infinitegrin]

Could be! I have a good number of Pokémon.

[tsuntrader]

Which Pokémon have you had for the longest? [He doesn't want to say "which ones are you the closest to," but...]

[infinitegrin]

Hmm... hard to say! I've been traveling with most of them for quite a while. Galvantula was the Pokémon I started my journey with.

[So yes that explains why he has her.]

Archeops was revived from the first fossil I ever found. Those two aside, most of my other Pokémon have been with me for about the same amount of time. I did have a list of those I use most in the battle subway, so those are the ones I'm expecting to see.

[tsuntrader]

...Archeops? [Fossil Pokémon. Tell him more, Emmet.]

[infinitegrin]

Said to be one of the ancestors of all bird Pokémon! It can't quite attain true flight, but it is a ferocious predator. I have one! She's very cute!

[tsuntrader]

If I see her in transit I'll try to transfer her to your line. [And maybe try to learn at least something about her because he may or may not have picked up some enthusiasm when it comes to fossils thanks to his dad, okay.]

[infinitegrin]

[Man how can Emmet just keep grinning wider and wider like that]

[tsuntrader]

[...Wait, what's with the grin, what-

...Oh god dammit he made train puns again didn't he.]
