[Alrighty. Ingo has since discovered his predicament here, and spent some time figuring it out for himself; panicking in front of people isn't something Ingo usually does and he wasn't about to start, despite... you know, being thrown into who knows where with a pair of wings that would look better on a Pidove. Seriously, what is this?!

While all the information to absorb threatened to give him a headache, recovering his Pokémon calmed him down considerably, not to mention putting on his own clothes. That makes everything all better!

Except wait. Hold that "recovering Pokémon" part.]

Excuse me. [The journal icon reveals a rather sour-looking young man. And what are those things on the side of his face anyway? Sideburns?] Allow me to introduce myself-- I am Ingo, a Subway Boss. One of my Pokémon, Chandelure, has disappeared in favor of exploration; if anyone happens to see it-- [He pauses.]

Ah. [That's right, people here probably don't know what a Chandelure looks like...] Chandelure is... to put it simply, a.... sentient chandelier. Illuminated by fire. He is harmless, I assure you, but I apologize in advance for any possible mischief.

Still, if anyone happens to come across him, please let me know. [He mutters something about this "not being the train track he was expecting" before raising his voice again.] Thank you.

[Chandelure can be found about anywhere, barring perhaps the inside of people's houses... and can be found multiple times, as doubtless it'll wander off more than once.

In the meantime, as he has as much a chance of finding the fiery light fixture here as well as there, Ingo himself will be wandering around town, that disgruntled New Feather look in his eyes and a giant... axeface dragon...dinosaur thing following complacently behind him.]

Yes. One of two. [Oh.... is that going to have to be explained too, huh.... Uh...] I run the Subway and its battle system.

A subway with a battle system? [...That actually sounds pretty cool...]

[DOESN'T IT JUST. Also dangerous. Whoohoo, danger!!]

Correct. [Since he didn't ask WUT IS BATTLIN Ingo will assume Silver kind of knows what he's talking about.] Have you perhaps heard of Battle Towers?

[Hell yes, danger.] The big buildings where you try to win a bunch of battles with set rules in a row?

Correct again. The Battle Subway is set up in that manner, but underground, instead. As well as serving as transportation. [You can't get anywhere in a building except higher up in the air. LAME.]

[...That is so cool. ...But wait-] What about really big Pokémon, or moves like Surf or Earthquake?

The Subway's narrow space, while larger than ordinary subways to accommodate Pokémon, is generally seen as an original obstacle to be overcome in battle by Trainers. The cars are also built to resist damage from moves-- but with Surf, you risk getting wet, of course.

[He sounds almost amused at that last one.] I've had encounters with that kind of incident, myself.

[That sounds dangerous. ...Then again, so's battling in the first place. All good things are a little dangerous.] Where is the Subway, anyway?

In Unova-- the main station is centered in Nimbasa City. [...does that even mean anything to you, silver dhsgjgd]

...Unova? [Not a thing.]

[WHAT SPOTTY EDUCATION YOU MUST HAVE HAD. you don't even know the half of it, ingo.

Well, that's perplexing...] Hmmm.... Where are you from? [maybe he lived in some small, rural town where globalization hadn't yet hit....??]

...Johto. [...somewhere in Johto. He kind of just goes where he wants.]

...I see. [That's very Traineresque of you.] Well, Unova is across the ocean from Johto-- a fair distance.

[Oh. It's on some other side of the world.] ...What's it like?
