second train → ...literally a train (days 2-7)

[infinitefrown]

[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.]

Day 4

[mischiefbreeder]

[Duuuuuuude, Silver, there's a subway in Luceti.

You know what he's thinking, of course. ...No really, you do, it's showing in his thought bubble. But it's incredibly obvious, since he's sprinting down that staircase without even a word.]

Day...5! Why not!

[mythmaker]

My, my, what a strange place...hello? Sanji?

[Hmm. This isn't the restaurant. She could have sworn it was somewhere around here.]

What's all this...?

Day 4

[findafamily]

[De-aged Firo hasn't been in Luceti long (or so he thinks), so he doesn't find anything strange about the appearance of the subway. He is curios, though, so he follows the stairs down to the platform.

He studies the sign, mumbling aloud to himself.]

"Battle line"? What's that..?

[Whatever it is, it sounds really cool. The trains back home definitely didn't have that!]

Day 2 (someone else after me)

[tellmejohn]

[You know Scorpius and his Luceti Valley waifu Misato were just on a nice walk around the village when they encountered... this. Frankly speaking, Scorpius himself isn't even that sure what it is despite being a machinist. But it does seem to a very detailed ... transportation track? They happened to come about it from a staircase down from the fountain, and he led her down out of interest. But now they are there and... looking at the map-]

...It appears we could ride this out to one of the lakes. Or the beach...

[...Interesting]

Kanto-Johto's latest improvement in term of trains was the magnet train and it got hijacked by neo team rocket during its first run, so please excuse him while he stares at this marvel of unovan technology.
And the battle line. While he can think of a few things cooler than fighting in a subway (mostly because his life is so amazing), it's still pretty high on the list of really cool things.

[Don can only manage so much acting normal before the urge to investigate overcomes him. He'll be poking into all corners of the cars - doors, electronic signs, intercoms and safety systems, even the couplings between cars - and thoroughly enjoying the adventure.]
