History Recap / InfinityTrainSeekerOfCrocusTheCyanDesertCar

-->'''Chloe:''' Get angry! I Triple Houndoom Dare You! GET ALL NICE AND SALTY FOR ME!!!!

* BystanderSyndrome: To quote [=UnCerise=], Ash, Goh and Professor Cerise, "Say so much but do so very little", because they could've done more to help Chloe when it was ''obvious'' that she had troubles, but didn't give her the time of day or considered how much she was suffering.

** Sara ''really'' hates [[AlcoholicParent her mother]], given their arguements and her screaming "NEVER!" at the prospect of her mother picking her up. Given that she's been quite abusive, she has every right to hate Marianna.

* ImposterForgotOneDetail: Sara tried to imitate Goh in order to make his parents not realize something was wrong. This works to a tee...except she states that Goh doesn't like stew with star-shaped carrots. Tomie, who ''knows'' her grandson's eating habits, immediately tells Molly in Part 4 that she knew something was off while handing her a lunch that includes stew with star carrots.

** The Cloak of Marchosias and Wepwawet is an artifact created by Wepwawet himself in an attempt to fuse Demon and God magic together, meaning that the voice talking to Chloe in previous cars is Wepwawet himself. On a smaller note, it turns out demons and gods are actually denizens on the Train and are classified as the Goetias (demons) and the Numinae (Gods)

** Augustine's change of attitude at Part 3 and the one who sealed away his insanity? Part 4 reveals that it was Asher's mentor/Auric from ''Rey Mysterio vs the Cosmos''.

** Part 4 ''completely'' changes the status quo: Augustine learns the name of the head of Elipzo, gets sent onto the train during the Darkest Day of ''Voyage of Wisteria'', Chloe learns to move on with her classmates, Tony learns about the gods and demons (and gets a warning from someone -- presumably Rey Mysterio -- about a burning spear) and it ends with Seto Kaiba encountering Alister, who is presumably "aligned" and ready to make his move.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Sara's attempts to punish her daughter do nothing except make things worse. It's Gloria's wish to show off the recordings of Marianna being an abusive drunken bitch that actually ''proves'' that she's a horrible person.

* CerebusCallBack: The softball camp permission slip that Cerise refused to sign. When he finally sees ''why'' Chloe wanted to go -- to get a break from the relentless bullying by Sara, who said that him not signing it was proof that he never loved her -- he is completely ashamed of himself.

* AllForNothing: Sara bullied Chloe both out of jealousy and perhaps getting a Pokémon out of her and lassoed all of her classmates into joining her. She ends up with nothing: her classmates hate her, all of them are expelled, the Internet is chewing her out, they're all banned from getting a licence for another five years, and Yeardley's little sister reveals that all Sara had to do was just go to Professor Cerise ''himself''.

** A slight one regarding Sara. The final part of the arc has people telling her that if she just spoke up about her problems, people would've listened and helped her. Thing is, later down the line, it's shown that the adults didn't really do anything to stop the bullying before. So basically, it's like telling Sara she should've told someone about her problems, while the adults around her made it very clear they were pretty much useless in that regard. A few might've helped her, but most probably wouldn't.

** In Part 5, Specter warns Sara to not kill Chloe because the security cameras are still running and thus caught her in the act of committing manslaughter. Gloria uses a wish from the Unown to spread the security footage of Marianna berating her daughter and slapping Talia across all of Vermillion City, which is more than enough proof to put the drunken bitch in jail for good.

** Sara bullied Chloe so that she'd eventually break down and give Sara and the classmates a Pokémon. Yeardley's little sister points out that it's stupid to do so because only a ''Professor'' -- like Chloe's father -- can give you a Pokémon, not Chloe, and all she had to do was go to the Institute and request for one. Unfortunately, instead of realizing the folly of her plan, and how much trouble she put herself and her classmates into, Sara doubles down on blaming Chloe and her family. Even when it's spelled out to her by practically ''everyone'' in the Cerise Institute that she didn't have to go through violent means to get her heart's desire but she refuses to admit that she messed up.

* DoesNotLikeSpam: Grace states in her tea party with Queen Cutie that she's not a fan of peanut butter. Unfortunately Cutie becomes terrified about having ''offended'' the Apex leader, pulling away a plate of peanut butter cookies, and is afraid that she'll go on a rampage, given that Grace has unleashed Apex raids just for the sheer fun of it.

** Also subverted with their classmates. While they ''did'' decide to not tell their parents about their actions of bullying even after a suspension -- and said adults barely gave a Raticate's ass about this -- once it settles in how much damage is done, they're afraid of their parents being mad for ruining their lives. Amelia points out that their parents ''do'' have a right to be angry because of how ignorant and oblivious to everything their classmates pulled and if it was possible to prevent it.

* {{Irony}}: Sara brushes off the suggestion to just tell the police that her mother was being abusive. She should've taken it because Officer Jenny gets her handcuffs after Gloria wished for the video evidence of Marianna being an asshole was spread throughout the city.

** In one of Sara's wish fantasies, Chloe asks her to take a seat. She then clarifies to take a seat by ''throwing a chair at her face'' and pummeling her with it.

* MotiveDecay: A case can be made for Sara. In the original story, the reason she bullied Chloe was out of jealousy and to cope with the pain of her father's death. Here, she wanted to break Chloe down just to force her give her and their classmates their own Pokemon, presumably to give her an excuse to finally escape her mother. It's later revealed that it's actualy everything: coping with the pain of her father's death, jealousy that Chloe got a Pokémon and hoping to ''obtain'' a Pokémon that could be used as a status symbol that she was a grown up.
* MundaneSolution: Sara's attempts to hurt her mother only made her worse. Gloria does something simpler -- just wish the Unown to spread the footage of Marianna being a massive bitch throughout all of Vermillion City.

* NotSoSimilar: Sara tries to state that Ash and Goh aren't so different from her -- they are in pursuit of a goal but keep wanting more and more and ''more'' but aren't satisisfied with what they have. Cerise points out that it's quite ''normal'' for trainers to want different goals and at least Ash and Goh honestly ''worked'' for it, compared to how Sara steals from others.

* PerspectiveFlip: In Part 3, we see the events of Chloe at school getting Goh's homework ready for when he arrives after the encounter with Lugia in ''Journeys'' episode 2, showing how much Goh disregards how much Chloe does for him and that her classmates bully her on how "No-Show" Goh could give a fig about her and Miss April was oblivious to the teasing.

** Specter brings up Sara's loneliness to the ''The Blue Angel'' story, the only difference is that no one is willing to see Sara as a friend or lost soul who is in need of help.

* RuleOfSymbolism: The use of ''No More Heroes'' through the use of Chloe (as Travis Touchdown) and Sara Diktayls (as Bad Girl) can be seen throughout Chloe's initial behavior. Like how ''NMH'' is part of the "Kill the Past" series, Chloe wants nothing more than to kill the girl who ''ruined'' everything she had when she was going to get home and made her life a living hell, so stuck with vengeance that she broke Augustine. However, she later learns that going that path brings nothing but pain and decides to comfort her past through a different way: moving on from the bullies who hurt her and acting in self-defense when Sara tries to kill her, even accepting that she did ''plenty'' wrong and telling Sara to kill her to get it over with. Sara, in contrast, wants to ''stay'' in the past as a spoiled child who had a loving dad and ruled like a princess and ends up ''destroying'' her future opportunities for one petty act of spite instead of trying to make amends for what she did. In short: Chloe killed her past through kindness and empathy, Sara destroyed her ''future'' with destruction and vengeance.

** All of Chloe's former classmates want ''nothing'' to do with Sara once they realized how she caused them to lose everything they held dear and that they were close to become bullies to their loved ones. When Sara tries to "invite" them to her castle, everyone collectively mutes her.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Aerostar tells Tony that Chloe will have more worries in the future. Sure enough, Sara got her hands on the Unown and all hell just got loose.

** PlayedForLaughs; when Chloe states that Augustine is going to do a performance for the story festival and has numerous ideas, the Windchasers and Red Lotus Uprising starts panicking.

* RunningGag: Specter is constantly compared to Chloe's OC

* SimultaneousArcs: Augustine gets transplanted to the Infinity Train of the main ''Blossomverse'' trilogy during the Darkest Day arc of ''Voyage of Wisteria'' and helps Oleana figure out what she can do admist everything she can't.[[labelnote:Explanation]]She's supposed to bring Chairman Rose's daughter (Tiffany) back to the real world and place a bomb that would destroy the Train as vengeance for killing her sister. But her molecules are destabilizing and pulling Tiffany would essentially kill her and the bomb would displace the thousands of other passengers stuck there.[[/labelnote]]

* VillainousBreakdown: Most of Part 5 is dedicated to seeing Sara's palace crumbling down. Gloria summons her own construct to reduce damage, Parker saves Chloe's classmates and their parents, she can't land a fight on Chloe in their fight and every single wish she makes backfire because of her stubborness and selfishness. At the end of it all, she would rather die than admit that she has a problem to work with. It takes the intervention of the barista to stop her.

** When it's learned that her mother is abusing her, everyone calmly tells her that she could've asked someone and they would've been able to help her.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: In Sara's third wish ("Chloe gives me and my classmates what they deserve"), Chloe decides that the group ''deserves'' to be killed "all kinds of dead". Thus she starts pummeling Sara with a chair then she smacks it at Patricia's face strong enough to break her glasses and make her bleed, before finally choking Yeardley and slamming his face into the window ''strong enough to crack it''. It's only Goh's intervention before the other 17+ students got targeted.

** The heroic groups go off against Gremory with a paragraph dedicated to all the crazy attacks that the readers never get to see ranging from Yuri's sword unleashing numerous lightbeams to Atticus ''riding Garchomp'' into battle.

* PerspectiveFlip: In part 3, we see the events of Chloe at school getting Goh's homework ready for when he arrives after the encounter with Lugia in ''Journeys'' episode 2, showing how much Goh disregards how much Chloe does for him.

** Specter brings up Sara's loneliness to ''The Blue Angel'', the only difference is that no one is willing to see Sara as a friend.

** The Cloak of Marchosias and Wepwawet is an artifact created by Wepwawet himself in an attempt to fuse Demon and God magic together, meaning that the voice talking to Chloe in previous cars is Wepwawet himself. On a smaller note, it turns out demons and gods are actually denizens on the Train and are classified as the Goetias (demons) and the Numine (Gods)

* RuleOfSymbolism: The use of ''No More Heroes'' through the use of Chloe (as Travis Touchdown) and Sara Diktayls (as Bad Girl) can be seen throughout Chloe's initial behavior. Like how ''NMH'' is part of the "Kill the Past" series, Chloe wants nothing more than to kill the girl who ''ruined'' everything she had when she was going to get home and made her life a living hell, so stuck with vengeance that she broke Augustine.

In short: Chloe killed her past through kindness and empathy, Sara destroyed her ''future'' with destruction and vengeance.

** Sara herself decides to run away from home, but not before going to the Cerise Institue for a Pokémon.

* SimultaneousArcs: Augustine gets transplanted to the Infinity Train of the main ''Blossomverse'' trilogy during the Darkest Day arc and helps Oleana figure out what she can do admist everything she can't.[[labelnote:Explanation]]She's supposed to bring Chairman Rose's daughter (Tiffany) back to the real world and place a bomb that would destroy the Train as vengeance for killing her sister. But her molecules are destabilizing and pulling Tiffany would essentially kill her and the bomb would displace the thousands of other passengers stuck there.[[/labelnote]]

* SpitTake: Parker is drinking milk from a breakfast tray given to him by Nurse Chloe...and then he spits the milk out when he realizes his nurse is ''Chloe''.

* VillainHasAPoint: [=UnCerise=] may be a dark counterpart that basically is Sara's mouthpiece on how much she wants to make Chloe's life a living hell, but he makes a succint point on how Cerise, Ash and Goh really treat Chloe.

* {{Fainting}}: Yuri faints when he learns that the gods exist on the Train. Anubis snarks that he was expecting Yuri to do it earlier when he arrived.

** Every single wish she made is for nothing; she gets nothing that she wanted due to her own flaws and inability to admit she's wrong.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Sara's attempts to runaway didn't go far, since Marianna immediately tracks her down at the Cerise Institute and states that Sara is ''still'' under parental care and Marianna would get in loads of trouble if she went missing. Likewise, Sara's apology isn't well-meaning because she had done too much damage for a simple sorry to fix.
** Sometimes just telling people to calm down isn't enough to ''make'' them calm down. Augustine's attempts to stop Chloe's FreakOut fails, but Specter directly pointing out that her anger wasn't going to solve things is what ultimately gets her to think rationally.
** Sara is unable to listen to reason because of all of the trauma she put in. Everyone is sympathetic to her, albeit angry that she's going overboard, but between the abuse and her stubborn personality, she block out any advice that could give her a better future.
** Amelia points out that even with the Unown's powers in Sara's control, she's still grounded by human law. So if she tried to do something like unleash a massacre, she'd be arrested.
** When her classmates admit they should've been more careful as to who they bullied, Chloe tells them it wouldn't have mattered anyway. They just wanted to hurt someone, status or not.

* AdultFear: The situation with Chloe's classmates getting expelled is this for both adults and the children. The children are afraid that their parents will be fired, or worse, while Amelia points out that the parents are afraid of how they had been so easily influenced by Sara's lie to hurt someone.
