second train → ...literally a train (days 2-7)
[So lately there have been a bunch of crazy body changes the poor people of Luceti have had to go through. Ingo is no exception, but even after being turned into a Pokémon yesterday, he definitely wasn't expecting this.
SUDDENLY, SUBWAY SYSTEM.
There's a new set of stairs near the fountain that descend underground. The sign beside it helpfully spells out LUCETI SUBWAY. Elsewhere in the enclosure, similar staircases can be found, or the subway simply emerges from underground at the end of its path (such as the one near the beach).
Going down the stairs near the fountain reveals a rounded room with a number of platforms like this. The maps inside depict where each subway line goes. Most of the subway lines are pretty normal, but there's one that just goes in a circle labled "BATTLE LINE." There's an instruction sign on its platform explaining that it's a Pokémon battling line, and if you board you will be expected to specify your battle type and face 20 hologrammed trainers before reaching the SUBWAY BOSS(a hologrammed Ingo and/or his brother). GOOD LUCK CHALLENGERS.
Yep, other than that and the suspiciously Ingo-sounding intercom, it seems like a totally normal subway!
...Except one more thing.
Why do the trains have sideburns?!]
[Feel free to use the subway as you please! Tag in traveling groups, run into each other on the cars, or strike up a conversation with intercom-Ingo, whatever works. There can be stations wherever, and they can be underground/aboveground, either is fine! YEAH.]

no subject
[Firo does plop down on the floor and gives a squeak of pleased surprise when Minccino sits on his lap. He keeps petting both critters; he's as close to heaven right now as he can ever see himself.]
It's not common. 'Least I've never seen anything called a "Battle line" back home.
no subject
Considering its purpose as a Pokémon facility and the lack of Pokémon in other worlds, I'm not surprised. [Minccino is purring, kind of. It curls up on Firo, snuggling into him. Pidove closes its eyes and chirps quietly, enjoying the attention. Yess. More pettings. Keep with the pettings.]
They seem to have taken to you. [Ingo sounds a bit amused, this time.]
no subject
[He's never actually been to one of the places where it happens, but he's willing to bet this train is a much nicer sort of place. Especially since the Pokémon seem nice and happy.
Firo continues to pet them, blushing a little at Ingo's last observation.]
Y-you think so?
[He's not entirely convinced, but sounds cheered by the prospect.]
