'''Infinity Train: Seeker of Crocus'' is a ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'' crossover by [=SpinnerNite=] and part of the ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomverse''.

Taking place during Act 2 of ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'', Professor Augustus Sycamore is aside himself from the disappearance of his student Alain Sativus and having no clues as to where he has gone. His guilt and stress from putting everything he can to find Alain is putting a strain on his mental health even though all he ''wants'' is to figure out where Alain has gone.

And then, one night, he sees a strange Train in his laboratory with a green glow.

Knowing this might be his only chance, Professor Sycamore prepares a briefcase and brings Garchomp on him for his journey to find his friend...and perhaps change a few things in regards to one Lady Destiny.

* BigWhat: PlayedForDrama. Professor Sycamore screams this at Calem and Meyer and it's at this point he realizes the stress of searching for Alain is getting to him.
