History Recap / InfinityTrainSeekerOfCrocusTheFireflyFunhouseCar

* ContinuityNod: Atticus told the story of the Friendship Asylum to the denizens of the Harvest Moon Car.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Alec Cerise entered the Train 50 years prior to Chloe and went on numerous adventures, gained the name "Demon Researcher", and is responsible for the construction of the Horrorland Car.

* NoSympathy: Goh refused to give a flying feather about how his actions affected Chloe. She can't go home to eat dinner with her mom until he comes back to finish his homework, which he doesn't care for as Ash's Coronation battle is ''much more important'' and he doesn't ''care'' about how he worried her after the Lugia incident.

* TemptingFate: A flashback has Goh dismissing Professor Cerise's concerns that something was wrong with Chloe. Goh in the present regrets making that assumption.

* SeriesContinuityError: A flashback shows Professor Cerise bringing up to Ash and Goh that something might be up with Chloe and they need to take a different approach. This awareness contradicts the main story, where the Professor being too oblivious to Chloe's pain until it was too late to do anything about it formed one of the core plot points in Act 1..

** Another scene shows that Chloe couldn't go home to have dinner with her mother if Goh didn't finish his homework. The main story never implies that Chloe's obligated to stick to Goh's side when bringing his homework, only that she has to bring it to him.

* SeriesContinuity:

** The first chapter shows off Chloe's attempts to text Goh, and both times Goh refuses to consider how unsympathetic he is, which goes a long way to explain why Chloe takes promises seriously.

* AdaptationalExplanation: The prequel explains why Goh never bothered to tell Chloe about Tokio; he snapped at her and demanded that she promise to never mention Ilex Forest again.

** The first chapter shows off Chloe's attempts to text Goh, and both times Goh refuses to consider how unsympathetic he is.

** The goal of the Red Lotus Trio is to get Chloe to star in [[Series/TheHauntingHour The Uncle Howee Show]].

** Chapter 3 reveals a scene of Professor Cerise talking to Ash and Goh about his concerns for his daughter and that they need to try a different approach, which would lead to them making curries on the same day Chloe was dared to battle Ash.

** Chapter 3 reveals a scene of Professor Cerise talking to Ash and Goh about his concerns for his daughter and that they need to try a different approach which would lead to them making curries on the same day Chloe asked to battle Ash.

* SkewedPriorities: Chloe wants to go home to have dinner with her mom and she needs Goh to finish his homework? Not a chance. Catching a Sandshrew and a Coronation match? Goh's ''definitely'' got to see it!

* PerformanceAnxiety: Chloe panics at the mere thought of appearing on live TV as she's afraid of people laughing at her. Given her previous incidents with performing -- Goh taping her EpicFail of a Pokemon battle against Ash and the paint can incident -- Chloe's fears are justified.

* SkewedPriorities: Chloe wants to go home to have dinner with her mom and she needs Goh to finish his homework? Eh, who cares? Catching a Sandshrew and a Coronation match? Goh's ''definitely'' got to see it!

* ThisIsUnforgivable: Discussed. Atticus and Lexi are unable to forgive Amelia and the Apex leaders because what they did was completely unforgivable. They also tell Chloe to forgive Goh because what he did was just the actions of an immature brat who truly doesn't know beter.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Chloe outright fantasizes about murdering her own best friend until she's talked down from it. What is the reason for this violent impulse? Goh not liking the same things she does, not thanking her for bringing him homework assignments he technically doesn't have to do, and having a person in his life (Ash) who likes what he likes and is doing those things with him that Chloe herself doesn't like.

* KidsAreCruel: As a reminder of how Class 5-E were a bunch of a-holes, they insulted Chloe's hair, her weight, her skills in softball, and even pulled her hair scrunchie and threatened to ''lick it''.

** Chapter 3 reveals a scene of Professor Cerise talking to Ash and Goh about his concerns for his daughter and that they ''need'' to try a different approach.

* ContrivedCoincidence: What are the chances that the restaurant the Red Lotus Trio entered conveniently had a portrait of a man who looked like Chloe's father who ''also'' has a thing for demons and nightmarish things?

* CallForward: Chloe questions the chances of her summoning a demon. She'll be doing that in the Harvest Moon Car.

* NoodleIncident: Chapter 3 has the Red Lotus Trio discussing previous adventures like a Cabinet of Wonders Car, the Youkai Bathhouse Car, a Monster Mash Car, the Backrooms Car, and Chloe becoming a Junior Postknight.

* TheReveal: Alec Cerise is the ancestor of Chloe Cerise...just not the Chloe Cerise currently on the Train.

The Red Lotus Trio -- Chloe Cerise, Atticus, and Lexi -- are currently staying in the Canals of Fondue Car, where Chloe is struggling to type a message about how she feels about Goh and her worrying anxieties about how people back in Vermillion City think of her. Lexi suggests that she should focus on herself and that she needs a confidence boost by performing in The Uncle Howee show. Unfortunately, the road to that car isn't easy, as she'll have to brave the horrors of the Friendship Asylum and of Uncle Howdy before she can become the legendary Chloe of the Vermillion.
