Nimbasa City
"Well, I can see this place hasn't changed at all in the last two years."
???: "Hey! Uh, donut hair girl!"
"What?"
???: "Can you help me out? These two are attacking me!"
A pair of train conductors garbed in black and white were harassing the guy. I gave in to my better nature and joined alongside him in battle.
"So, uh, what exactly is this?"
???: "Well, I'm Nate! These two are the subway masters. I don't know why they chose to beat me up."
Ingo: "Having a battle here is a little irregular, but this must've happened for a reason."
Emmet: "I am Emmet and I like trains!"
Vs. Ingo and Emmet
I sent out my Mienfoo while Nate sent out a Dewott. The twin train trainers sent out a Gurdurr and Boldore. Nate's Dewott focused on the Boldore, given the type advantage, while I had Mienfoo work on Gurdurr despite being vastly weaker. Surprisingly, we defeated both of the Pokemon without any losses on our end.
Emmet: "I am Emmet and I have lost."
"We know who you are."
Ingo: "Don't talk to my brother that way. Actually, wait, what do I care? Make fun of him all you want."
Emmet: "I am Emmet and we should battle again some time."
Nate: "Thanks for the help. They were really tough!"
"No, they weren't. We just curbstomped them."
Nate: "I said, they were really tough!"
"Ow, don't yell in my ear!"
He threw a Vs. Recorder at me and ran down into the Subway station.
"Why do people always throw things at me...?"
I attempted to enter a building near the Pokemon Center, but an Ace Trainer blocked me.
Ace Trainer: "Only the strongest trainers can enter here! Come back once you've beaten the Champion who most definitely isn't Iris!"
"Wait, wha? I thought, like, everyone who beats a champion becomes the new champion unless they decline. So how could there even be much of anyone who could use this place! And have you beaten the champion?"
Ace Trainer: "Uh, no. Of course not."
"Then why are YOU allowed in?"
Ace Trainer: "Because I'm special. Now go away."
I grumbled and walked off. I wandered into the Musical Hall, where the owner insisted on giving me a prop case.
Owner: "Go on, try dressing up one of your Pokemon! It will be amazing!"
"Ugh, fine..."
I placed a top hat on my Litwick.
"There, is that good?"
Owner: "Ah, how adorable!"
He and several patrons began taking pictures. Eventually the hat ignited in a purple inferno.
"Oops, should have thought about that..."
Owner: "...Ah. Well, easy come easy go!"
He sighed happily.
Owner: "It reminds me of when I dressed myself up in props!"
Musical Hall, one and a half years ago
Me and the Patrons: "NO! NO! WE DON'T NEED TO HEAR!"
Musical Hall, present
Owner: "Fine, but it was a fun story!"
I left, and went to the subway station. I ended up taking the train to Anville, wondering how it was after two years.
Anville Town
Due to the perpetual rain of anvils, most of the town was now buried in them.
Girl: "Sigh... Pansage, where are you?"
"You lost your Pansage? Did Team Plasma steal it?"
Girl: "No... It ran away from me onto a different train..."
"Well, when I go back, I'll see if I find it."
Girl: "Thanks!"
Aside from the hail of anvils, there wasn't much else to do here. Perhaps because of the anvils.
With that pointless sidetrip out of the way, I returned to Nimbasa.
Nimbasa City
Almost immediately after exiting the subway station, I noticed a train valet with a Pansage standing near him.
"Oh, that Pansage belongs to a girl in Anville, I think. She said she lost it in the subway station."
Valet: "No, sir, I took it from her."
"Why?"
Valet: "She was trying to throw it onto the rails."
"...Oh."
As I was walking, I noticed a dropped Xtransceiver. It was ringing.
Hesitantly, I picked it up and answered it.
"H-Hello?"
???: "Hello? Who is this?"
"Uh, I found this on the ground, I just-"
???: "Great! It's my Xtransceiver! I dropped it, and tried calling it to see if someone found it."
"So you could say this is a... dropped call!"
???: "Ignoring that, can you hang onto it for a while? I can't pick it up yet, but I can after work! And my name is Curtis, by the way! Thank you!"
He hung up.
"Well, I thought it was funny..."
