History TearJerker / InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail

** Goh gets a glimpse into a world where [[ForWantOfANail he admitted to Ash]] that he didn't know why Chloe had grown so distant. While this doesn't instantly repair their relationship, the honest desire he shows to reconnect with her clearly helps... whereas when the ''real'' Goh replays this scenario, he keeps making matters worse with his thoughtless remarks and actions.
* Zeno demonstrates that he's [=UnGoh=] by stepping into his own scenario and apologizing, humbling himself before Chloe by admitting his own mistakes, and getting the ball rolling on some much-needed honest conversations. The fact that [[ForWantOfANail none of this happened]] when it ''could have''...

* In a meta example, just two months after the author's grandma passed on, she announced that her aunt passed ''a few hours'' before this chapter was posted.

The story is essentially the struggles of a girl who honestly just wants people to love her for who she is, and the struggles she must overcome if she lives in a world where everyone favors supernaturally powered monsters and the thrill of battling over her, while also bring up the fear of both not realizing what you have until it's gone and the slow realization that you never truly knew someone.

* After apologizing to the three Trainers for being InnocentlyInsensitive, Chloe decides to speak with Grace. The two talk about how [[NotSoDifferent their inability to talk things out brought them to ruin]], and the ObliviousGuiltSlinging Grace throws at Chloe is rather disheartening too.

* Goh ending up on the train is this because the actions that led to it were fully the result of small mistakes caused by a single miscommunication. The Pokemon World cast didn't know that Pokémon (like Wooloo) can't repel the train like people and Chloe assumed they knew that already with her unable to learn that it wasn't the case since she's only been back home for two days. As a result of a small mistake, Goh is gone, something no one involved wanted.
* The series of events leading to Goh boarding the train: When she finds out about Mew from the flower bouquet having Pokénip, Chloe VERY briefly slips back into her old thoughts before quickly correcting herself. Unfortunately, this is picked up by Delia, who takes the chance to angrily ask her if his apology means nothing to her now with the assumption that Chloe was going to go back to her original ways. Chloe then quickly realizes Goh ''would'' think that, that ''no one'' is guarding Goh, and Raboot and Sobble won’t be able to stop him from entering. She, Delia ([[{{Irony}} who is left frantically apologizing after the last thing is explained to her]]), Ash, Trip, and Serena rush to Goh’s room, but it’s too late: The Train had gotten to Goh while they weren’t there and he had left, leaving behind a note about he ''has'' to work to obtain his end of his friendship, with it saying goodbye just like Chloe sent her farewell text.
** The story ends on a pretty harsh note for Delia: She had a MomentOfWeakness and talked to Chloe about her past mindset, leaving Goh open for the Train. This serves as a harsh reminder that calling people out just to make yourself feel better doesn’t solve anything, and can actually cause more problems, regardless of how justified you feel.
** It is briefly seen that things between Ash and Delia are still tense, as Delia quickly hides her smugness/ rage towards Chloe when he approaches. If Ash finds out what Delia was doing while she was supposed to be watching Goh, things will most likely only get even more strained for them...

** When Gard gives her a new softball bat, as Silver Night got destroyed in Arc 2, she finally breaks down. All she wanted was ''friends'' and to have parties and all of Class 5-E never gave her that. They attacked her, give her horrible nicknames, ripped her homework apart, crushed her self-confidence, made her unable to move forward [[DrivenToSuicide and nearly wanted her to kill herself.]] And for what? Because she was ''different''. Even they admit that they never ''hated'' her as it was them foolishly going along with Sara's manipulations and being envious of her life without getting to know her. Chloe even tells them that they have to stop this envious mindset as it has done more harm than good.

** What hurts her the most is that every person who sees [=UnChloe=] sees her differently, reflecting Chloe's hurt and anguish that ''no one'' ever saw her for a girl who was scared and just wanted someone to help her. This even raises her number back to 100.
-->'''Cherry_girl''': You see? This is why I left! Because no one, NO ONE, actually saw me as a person! Not you [Ash], not the professor, not my classmates. NO PERSON DID!

* Chloe recalls the time she performed at her school's talent show, only to find that Sara dumped red paint all over her witch costume right before she was going to go on stage. Though she rallied, putting together a replacement costume with Parker's help, Sara just responded by dumping even more red paint directly onto ''her'', with the help of Yeardley and several other cronies. On top of all that, Sara knocked Parker aside when he tried defending his sister. Chloe's retaliation -- which had her hitting Sara repeatedly with the paint can and looking like she was ''completely drenched in blood'' -- earned her three days in suspension, and while her tormentors were also punished, they just switched tactics back to nagging her about Pokémon again, showing that they learned ''nothing''.

*** How big is Paul's number? '''42007'''[[note]]According to the authors it's based on Paul's anime debut (April 2, 2007)[/note]], meaning that he won't see his brother again ''for years'' compared to Alain at 131 and Chloe, who's just a few numbers short returning.

-->'''Alex:''' Goodbye Hop...''(smiles as a tear hits is flashlight)''...Thank you.\\
'''Hop:''' No....[[BigNo ALEX, NO!!!]]\\
'''Alex:''' ''(drags himself and Henry into Toluca Lake, and all that floats up is his flashlight.)''\\
'''Hop:''' ''(takes the flashlight into his hands and screams into Dubwool)''

* In comparison to Chloe, Yeardley only has his little sister and mother showing concern for him. And his father gave him ''orange lilies''[[note]]Which mean "I hate you[[/note]] as a middle finger.

* Tuba's funeral is just as tearjerking as in canon with the main difference is that Amelia (Hazel's true mother) being there.

* The series of events leading to Goh boarding the train: When she finds out about Mew from the flower bouquet having Pokénip, Chloe VERY briefly slips back into her old thoughts before quickly correcting herself. Unfortunately, this is picked up by Delia, who takes the chance to angrily ask her if his apology means nothing to her now with the assumptinon that Chloe was going to go back to her original ways. Chloe has an OhCrap moment when she realizes Goh would think that, that ''no one'' is guarding Goh, and Raboot and Sobble won’t be able to stop Goh from entering. She, Delia ([[{{Irony}} who is left frantically apologizing after the last thing is explained to her]]), Ash, Trip, and Serena rush to Goh’s room, but it’s too late: The train had gotten to Goh while they weren’t there and he had left, leaving behind a note about he ''has'' to work to obtain his friendship with it saying goodbye just like Chloe sent her farewell text.

** It is briefly seen that things between Ash and Delia are still tense, as Delia quickly hides her smugness towards Chloe when he approaches. If Ash finds out what Delia was doing while she was supposed to be watching Goh, things will most likely only get even more strained for them...

** The aftermath; Grace admits that she did horrible and that Chloe shouldn't be killing Walter -- before Chloe gives a look to remind Grace of her sins -- before Grace backpedals. She then questions if ''anyone'' will ever forgive her and that she'll probably head to Maccadams to get drunk after everything that happened.

* Chloe finally saying goodbye to the train and everyone on it. She thanks Atticus for being with her since the beginning, thanks Lexi for letting her carry him, makes Hazel an honorary member of the Red Lotus Quarto, and Amelia ''hugs the girl'' and tells Chloe to never come back to the Train because there's so much waiting for her.
** Before Chloe initially leaves for home, Sad-One, like he did in Book 1 when Tulip was about to leave, asks for a hug. Chloe rushes back to everyone -- Red Lotus members, Hazel, One-One, and the Pokémon Trainers -- with tears in her eyes as she hugs them all.

** It's heavily implied that Samantha had to survive on her own and just wanted love most of all when she saw all the other cats have fulfilling lives with passengers.

* Goh and Chloe's reunion after two months of pain, trauma, self-discovery and hurt is bittersweet. Chloe is maturely explaining how badly she messed up on her end while Goh is tearfully apologizing, broken and shattered about he was a pathetic excuse of a friend. Even Goh eating a bowl of curry laksa is tinged with sadness; a promise they made all those years ago isn't really worth it after the hard lessons they had to learn.
* Goh ending up on the train is this because the actions that led to it were fully the result of small mistakes caused by a single miscommunication. The Pokemon World cast didn't know that Pokémon (like Wooloo) can't repel the train like people and Chloe assumed they knew that already. As a result of a small mistake, Goh is gone, something no one involved wanted.

She, Delia ([[{{Irony}} who is left frantically apologizing after the last thing is explained to her]]), Ash, Trip, and Serena rush to Goh’s room, but it’s too late: The train had gotten to Goh while they weren’t there and he had left, leaving behind a note about he ''has'' to work to obtain his friendship.

** Talia admits that Parker should've said something sooner about Chloe, insisting that they would have accepted her no matter what. Parker counters this by revealing he heard them arguing over what happened at the talent show; their own words convinced him that he couldn't tell them anything for fear that they'd hate her. Talia is shocked that she never considered that possibility with her own son and has to reassure him that no matter what, they love Chloe as she is.

** Chloe reads a list of what Goh went through. And while many of it was fair -- he ignored her, never went to school with her except for tests, basically never picked up her texts or calls on time, ignored how she was being bullied -- what ''wasn't'' fair was how this nightmare said that Goh wouldn't ''care'' if she died, being just as cruel to Goh when it came to chewing him out for being selfish and breaking him so badly that he can't even pursue a dream at all.

* While Goh's reaction to comforting Ash over his tie with Bea is hilarious, remember that this ''is'' also while he's recovering from his nightmare therapy and how he realized that he wasn't there for Chloe when ''she'' needed comfort. He's afraid of pushing Ash away if he doesn't comfort the Pallet Town Trainer, showcasing once and for all that he doesn't ''want'' people to leave him because of his mistakes. Even Zeno mentions that Goh has a long way to go.
** Speaking of, when Zeno pauses time in the ice cream parlor, Goh is ''begging'' not to go through another WhatIf scenario.

* Romin is on the Train because her attempt to give Luke her curry backfired. She chickened out at the last second and ran on the Train and she's not willing to cook another curry because she believes she ''doesn't'' deserve forgiveness. To compare, Chloe has a 93. Romin has a ''7''.

* When Chloe uses the power of her cloak to look into the memories of the Curry Prince, she learns the truth: he was once Soma from ''Manga/BlackButler'' who ended up on the Train when he was trying to return to India after Agni's cremation. He never left the Train as he found himself falling into despair, dying while holding onto Agni's urn. Then he woke up, forgetting his old life and became the mechanical Curry Prince. The memories are so overwhelming that even ''she'' ends up crying.

** Soma then requests for Chloe to dump Agni's ashes into the river and to bury his remains separately. Chloe refuses and gathers both their ashes [[TogetherInDeath because she can't think of them not together]].

** She also realizes that she's just like Goh: abandoned by someone they thought was a friend, they became obsessed over something and stopped trying to talk to one another. The fact that she realizes that the reason Goh is going to end up on the train is because of ''her'' is the ultimate realization that he truly '''was''' her friend and never meant to leave her behind whereas she did so ''on purpose.''

** Lana comes to comfort Mallow and points out that Mallow could've just been honest about it all and they'd believe her, but Mallow herself wanted to doubt it since it was just too ridiculous to believe. And no matter what happened, there was nothing they could've done to save Gladion. What's more, Mallow is in tears and fear for Tuba's safety...while unaware that Tuba is with the leaders of the Apex at this moment.

** Leon talks to Sonia about how he's been worried sick for months.

* Simon attacking Paul and using the electrical properties of his shoes to torture the once-proud Sinnoh Trainer.

* Grace learns that all of the 'Nulls' she killed were once human. She [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone feels her entire existence and mentality crash down in utter horror from it]].

* Hop's number has gone up to ''1080'' because of everything in Silent Hill. To his horror, he's informed it will now probably take a year ''at minimum'' to get it down and off the Train and to see Leon again.

*** The memory of a younger Paul having at his parents' funeral is heartbreaking as Reggie vows to be strong to protect them. Fans of the anime remember that Reggie stopped battling after his single loss to Brandon...
*** How big is Paul's number? '''42007''', meaning that he'll never see his brother again ''for years'' compared to Alain at 131 and Chloe, who's just a few numbers short returning.

* As if Goh's problems can get any worse, he's kidnapped in exchange for his parents to make a new Mew tracker since the kidnapper is trying to use it to get a Shiny Mew...''and she's already critically injured Mew themselves'' for it.

** When Goh revisits the day he dropped off that book for Chloe's birthday, it's revealed he never went inside to give it to her and went on the assumption that she was with her friends. She ''wasn't'' because no one wanted to be friends with a "Monster Lover" and he was so obsessed with Mew to not even ''enter'' the house to see for himself. Goh breaks down and states that he would've gone and celebrate 100% if he had known. And Zeno believes him.

** The Apex shows ''zero empathy'' for the deaths that happened. Toby says that Hazel will have better friends that aren't a Null and Tiffany said that Chloe '''deserved to die''' for ruining their fun. Amelia is so in the right to knock that child and Grace in the head with her shotgun and tell them that this is their fault and they have no hearts.

* Chloe finally saying goodbye to the train and everyone on it. She thanks Atticus for being with her since the beginning, thanks Lexi for carrying her, makes Hazel an honorary member of the Red Lotus Quarto, and Amelia ''hugs the girl'' and tells Chloe to never come back to the Train because there's so much waiting for her.
** Before Chloe initially leaves for home, Sad-One, like he did in Book 1, asks for a hug. Chloe rushes back to everyone -- Red Lotus members, Hazel, One-One, and the Pokémon Trainers -- with tears in her eyes as she hugs them all.

** When Gard gives her a new softball bat, as Silver Night got destroyed in Arc 2, she finally breaks down. All she wanted was ''friends'' and to have parties and all of Class 5-E did was attack her, give her horrible nicknames, ripped her homework apart, crushed her self-confidence, made her unable to move forward and nearly wanted her to kill herself. And for what? Because she was ''different''. Even they admit that they never ''hated'' her as it was them foolishly going along with Sara's manipulations and being envious of her life without getting to know her.
** Akemi still blames herself for everything and thinks that it's her fault that the school is closing, a class is traumatized and ''Vermillion City is a ghost town''.
* Mr. Bradbury and Miss April glumly talk about how the school is completely ruined now ,with all of the teachers having lost jobs and numerous students having to move to other schools, and how unfair the DoubleStandard hit them for their mistakes. The only hope is that Mr. Bradbury realized his mistakes over Professor Cerise's parenting and is going to help Miss April get into college.
* In comparison to Chloe, Yeardley only has his sister and mother showing concern for him. And his father gave him ''orange lilies'' as a middle finger.
* Paul and Hop have brief conversations with pictures of their loved ones, with Paul confessing to his role in Sean's death and Hop trying to figure out how he feels about Alex, neither of them feeling like they can talk to their real brothers just yet.

* The series of events leading to Goh boarding the train: When she finds out about Mew from the flower bouquet having Pokénip, Chloe VERY briefly slips back into her old thoughts before quickly correcting herself. Unfortunately, this is picked up by Delia, who takes the chance to mockingly ask her if his apology means nothing to her now.

** The story ends on a pretty harsh note for Delia: She had a MomentOfWeakness and gloated to Chloe about her past mindset, leaving Goh open for the Train. This serves as a harsh reminder that calling people out just to make yourself feel better doesn’t solve anything, and can actually cause more problems, regardless of how justified you feel.

* Goh ending up on the train is this because the actions that led to it were fully the result of small mistakes caused by a single miscommunication.

She, Delia (who is left frantically apologizing after the last thing is explained to her), Ash, Trip, and Serena frantically rush to Goh’s room, but it’s too late: The train had gotten to Goh while they weren’t there and he had left, leaving behind a note.

* Parker is left alone and isolated after everything he's done and knows full well that he deserves it. The only reason the Train doesn't show up is that there are witnesses, and he feels that he isn't deserving at all of a magical therapy adventure. Even after the Unown are gone, he's still hurt because now, ''now'' of all times does everyone try to help his sister when she would've never left if they did more sooner.

* Paul is crawling towards a full HeelRealization, and spends this chapter desperate to find some way to make amends with his Pokemon, his brother, or even Ash in what little way he can before Despair takes over him again. Even with Walter's brainwashing all but scrubbing out his memories of Reggie, he remembers that he's done badly by him and that he can be trusted to keep his Pokemon safe.

-->'''Goh:''' You could’ve done more. You saw me on my screens, you could’ve yanked me out of there and pushed me to go see Chloe! You could’ve told me my grades were slipping, told me I had to go to school...what was so important that my own parents weren’t there for me?!I wasted my life, wasted all the time I could’ve been there for Chloe, protecting her ….and now she’s gone and she doesn’t want me any more! She hates me! And I...I don’t blame her at all.\\

'''Goh:''' ...I should ''hate'' you. I should hate you like Chloe hates her dad, like she hates me. The only time I had anything in common with her was with P-p-pokémon...and that’s ''gone'' for me now too because I was never aware that she didn’t like them, and now I can’t even ''think'' about travelling and catching without wanting to throw up. I’ve got...nothing left. And I can’t turn to you for anything. Not even Raboot if he’s willing to leave me behind because I used the wrong words on him.
* Wooloo is downright ''terrified'' at how Hop has changed, to the point he's hiding underneath the bed when Hop turns into Delirium. However instead of crying, Wooloo decides to tackle the wall to become stronger so he and Corvisquire can eventually become strong enough to save their friend.

* While Goh is permitted to accompany Ash, Trip and Serena on their latest adventure about a week after he was committed into a suicide ward, he doesn't believe he has any right to be there, especially after he makes a thoughtless comment about Hop 'having fun' on the Train.

* Talia vents out her frustrations on learning how Chloe was ignored, belittled and neglected in her world and now she is at risk of ''dying'' on a Train by a cult that's probably even '''worse''' than the GangOfBullies Chloe dealt with on a daily basis, blaming herself for not doing more or ignoring any signs that she could've been in trouble. She feels angry and jealous of Delia because ''her'' son goes through these adventures completely unscathed.

* Delia makes clear that she has NoSympathy for either Parker or Chloe, writing the Cerise siblings off as a pair of [[UngratefulBastard ungrateful brats]] who've needlessly and cruely hurt everyone around them. Though she's willing to take the Cerise parents in when they move to Pallet, she also spells out that she's perfectly willing to make the children camp outside rather than permitting either of them into her guesthouse, unless and until they prove themselves sufficiently humbled and chastised.

** Parker is ultimately sentenced to a juvenile offenders' treatment facility near Pallet, and is banned from ever entering Vermillion City or contacting anyone connected to the suit. After hearing this (and having Zeno explain some of it to him), Parker notes that he's going to miss Jinny.
** Yeardley's little sister is afraid of her big brother now, afraid that he'll start attacking her because she's a girl. As they leave, she refuses to hold his hand. His older sister doesn’t think highly of him either due to his mysoginistic bullying, slapping him upside the head for good measure and calling him a "dumbass" after the trial.

* Sara spends most of the trial apologizing, screaming into a pillow and looking so ''pitiful'' as the weight of her actions presses down on her. The only saving grace she gets is that a kind family adopted her, but even then she has to see her mother looking like a total wreck and wanting to just say how much she loved her. Marianna Diktalyis says nothing and walks off.

* Chloe finally realizes what her biggest flaw was: Fear. Fear of not being good enough, pushed aside, unable to heard or loved or paid attention to. Her resentment, judgment, foolishness and anger stemmed from this and this alone.
** She also realizes that she's just like Goh: abandoned by someone they thought as a friend, they became obsessed over something and stopped trying to talk to one another. The fact that she realizes that the reason Goh is going to end up on the train is because of ''her'' is the ultimate realization that he truly '''was''' her friend and never meant to leave her behind whereas she did so ''on purpose.''

** Lana comes to comfort Mallow and point out that Mallow could've just been honest about it all and they'd believe her, but Mallow herself wanted to doubt it since it was just too ridiculous to believe. And no matter what happened, there was nothing they could've done to save Gladion. What's more, Mallow is in tears and fear for Tuba's safety...while unaware that Tuba is with the leaders of the Apex at this moment.
* After the confession from The Cat as to her abandoning Simon, Chloe has some reflection on herself: she's no better than the Cat for running away from her problems and Goh. But Atticus, Lexi and Amelia bring up she's done more and is ''doing'' more than Samantha ever chose to do for the past eight years.

* Ash gets Chloe's last message just after after he and Goh have a successful trip to the Safari Zone. Goh is concerned for Chloe's safety and feels ashamed upon stating that she was weak and helpless.

* Paul is so pitiful at this point; when he arrives for dinner with the Quarto and Grace and Simon's group, he acts more like a zombie and Walter has to force his chin up to look at everyone.

* Chloe's time in the haunted house is both terrifying and sad as it's a reminder of all the pain she put everyone through because her inability to tell everyone what was going on with her, all while Hop is oblivious and thinks that she should only think of herself instead of others.

* Simon attacking Paul and using the electrical properties of his shoes to torture the once proud Sinnoh Trainer.
* Lexi and Amelia are horrified to learn what the Cage of Flauros will cause and will do ''anything'' they can to protect Chloe up to and including Amelia ''killing Hop'' to deprive the Cage one of its components.

* Hop's number has gone up to ''1080'' because of everything in Silent Hill. To his horror he's informed it will now probably take a year ''at minimum'' to get it down and off the Train and to see Leon again.

* Amelia boasts that with how low Chloe's number is, all she has to do is get it to 0 and the Flauros is delayed for a while. But Chloe refuses to go home, not when she promised to get Hop, Paul and Alain out. Amelia and Lexi ''beg'' the girl to just admit that she has to leave in the hopes of saving the Apex from a horrible fate.

* The focus on this chapter are on Dream and Despair, ''especially'' Despair, and how the two have suffered because of their actions.
** Chloe's reaction to seeing Saint Ash. After spending ''so much time'' learning to not see Trainers, especially Ash, as grandiose perfect beings, Saint Ash comes into view and brings back those long repressed memories, ''causing Chloe's number to rise and for her to nearly become Lady Destiny''.

** Hazel just keeps drawing the short end of the stick: she becomes terrified as the apartment goes haywire, and then she finds out she's a Denizen and not a Passenger, not only from the last person she should hear from, but during practically ''the worst time possible''.
** Back in the Pokémon World, Goh is still as miserable as ever: Zeno keep egging him for his previous mistakes, and the person he's seeing about his medical leave turns out to be less well-intentioned than expected...

* Yeardley is broken; he's lost respect, a future, his friends and now his parents are divorcing.

* When Paul reunites with his Pokémon, he apologizes for being such a prick. However he is quickly hugged by everyone and he just ''bursts into tears'' at the reaction.

** The Apex shows ''zero empathy'' on the deaths that happened. Toby says that Hazel will have better friends that aren't a Null and Tiffany said that Chloe '''deserved to die''' for ruining their fun. Amelia is so in the right to knock that child and Grace in the head with her shotgun and tell them that this is their fault and they have no hearts.
* Despite everything Chloe did on the Train, her self-loathing and hatred of herself manifests as she realizes that she ''did'' have love and support but rejected it because it was both too late and not the kind she wanted. She admits that when Paul, Hop and Alain arrive home, they'll be praised. But she? After everything that happened, she'll be just like where she started: ignored, hated, spat upon and with the added bonus of what Parker did causing even more problems. And why all of this? ''Because she wasn't a Pokémon trainer and didn't love Pokémon like others did.'' It even gets to the point where she [[ItsAllMyFault blames herself for Parker's rampage back home]], believing that [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot if she had just opened up about her issues or simply become a Pokémon trainer, none of this would ever happened.]]
** In return, it takes the Trainers to help her break out of that toxic mindset and bias. When it finally sinks in, she's crying on why no one told her this lesson ''sooner'' and that she could've been fine as she was if everyone just left her alone and stopped pressing her into something she hated.

* Sean explaining how he is going to be reincarnated and forget about his mother, and that the only reason he got on the Train was because he couldn't perform a high-dive. He goes and forgives Paul because Paul at least ''tried'' to save him and that this was all Sean's fault for trying to attack Electivire. But for Grace? He can't forgive her, even though she did plenty good it doesn't erase how much damage she did corrupting him and the Apex.
* This chapter completes Grace's TraumaCongaLine by having her reveal to the children of the Apex how she was wrong, and how they're now stuck on the Train for another year at the very ''least'' thanks to said lies and how they have harmed innocent deniznes for "glow-in-the dark" tattoos. Watching the children breakdown afterwards is ''heartbreaking''.

* Chloe finally saying goodbye to the train and everyone on it. She thanks Atticus for being with her since the beginning, thanks Lexi for carrying her, makes Hazel an honorary member of the Red Lotus Quarto and Amelia ''hugs the girl'' and tells Chloe to never come back to the Train because there's so much waiting for her.
** Before Chloe initially leaves for home, Sad-One, like he did in Book 1, asks for a hug. Chloe rushes back to everyone -- Red Lotus members, Hazel, One-One and the Pokémon Trainers -- with tears in her eyes as she hugs them all.

!!Healer / End of Small Snactuary (You Have Your Orders Soldier)

* Goh ending up on the train is this, because the actions that led to it were fully the result of small mistakes caused by a single miscommunication. The Pokemon World cast didn't know that Pokemon (like Wooloo) can't repel the train like people and Chloe assumed they knew that already. As a result of a small mistake Goh is gone, something no one involved wanted.
* The series of events leading to Goh boarding the train: When she finds out about Mew, Chloe VERY briefly slips back into her old thoughts before quickly correcting herself. Unfortunately, this is picked up by Delia, who takes the chance to mockingly ask her if his apology means nothing to her now. Chloe has an OhCrap moment when she realizes Goh would think that, that no one is guarding Goh, and Raboot and Sobble won’t be able to stop Goh from entering. She, Delia (who is left frantically apologizing after the last thing is explained to her), Ash, Trip and Serena frantically rush to Goh’s room, but it’s too late: The train had gotten to Goh while they weren’t there and he had left, leaving behind a note.
** The story ends on a pretty harsh note for Delia: She had a MomentOfWeakness and gloated to Chloe about her past mindset, leaving Goh open for the Train. This serves as a harsh reminder that calling people out just to make yourself feel better doesn’t solve anything, and can actually cause more problems, regardless how justified you feel.
** It is briefly seen that things between Ash and Delia are still tense, as Delia quickly hides her smugness towards Chloe when he approaches. If Ash finds out what Delia was doing while she was supposed to be watching Goh, things will most likely only get even more strained for them..

* Without Chloe gone on the Train, Goh never searched for her, and thus no Trip and no one knows about the Infinity Train until Chloe Prime returns, meaning that her work to have Paul, Hop and Alain's loved ones know about what's going on is for ''nothing''.
* Chloe Prime is all alone, in a world that doesn't remember her and feeling angry and hurt when Renji calls out his frustration over Chloe Alter's whining and bitching.
* Goh on the train is all but dead inside. The bartender of the car he walks into notes that he is way too young to have such an empty look in his eyes.

** When Gard gives her a new softball bat, as Silver Night got destroyed in Arc 2, she finally breaks down. All she wanted was ''friends'' and to have parties and all of Class 5-E did was hate her just for being so different. Even they admit that they never ''hated'' her as it was them foolishly going along with Sara's manipulations.

* Mr. Bradbury and Miss April glumly talk about how the school is completely ruined now and how unfair the DoubleStandard hit them for their mistakes. The only hope is that Mr. Bradbury realized his mistakes over Professor Cerise's parenting and is going to help Miss April get into college.
