SUBWAYS 4: THE WHITE 2-I-EST

[50shadesofstardom]

IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON.

THE YEAR PASSES. THE EVENTS OF WHITE 2 OCCUR. SUBWAY REMAINS FAIRLY UNINVOLVED AND UNINTERESTING AT THIS POINT.



IT'S THE POSTGAME THAT ROCKS.

[Ah... it's been some time since Hilbert went off to journey a bit more, training and raising all sorts of new Pokémon. Emmet's been very patiently waiting, but at least he has interesting challengers these days! It feels like he's only just bid farewell to Rosa a moment ago, now that he's finally found the time to take a break.

Emmet will enjoy his daily phone call with Hilbert, before going to lunch.]

--Ah huh. Right! Well, you keep on down that line, Hilbert. Goodbye!

[Clearly this is when Nate needs to barge in.]

[50shadesofsubway]

--Hilbert? [SUDDENLY NATE.

Excuse him noisily interrupting Emmet's way to lunch break, he's excited...] Was that-- the Hilbert who has the record here? That Hilbert?

[infinitegrin]

[THANK GOODNESS HE HUNG UP JUST NOW]

Ah-- Nate! Hello. Yes, that was Hilbert.

[AHEM clearing out his throat.]

Are you challenging the subway today, Nate?

[50shadesofsubway]

Yeah!! I am! I gotta get better so I can be like Hilbert! [NOPE YOU CAN'T REROUTE THIS CONVERSATION]

He's really great! I wanna be just as good as he is! He's super well-known for his strategy, you know? I guess it makes sense that you'd know him-- I'm really jealous that you've got to battle him so much!!

[EMMET I AM SO SORRY]

[infinitegrin]

[HE TRIED TO SWITCH THE TRACKS...]

Ah, well, I'm sure you won't need to feel much more jealous. He'll be coming down to this station someday soon, after all.

[Even if Emmet would rather have Hilbert all to himself at first. Ah hah...]

[50shadesofsubway]

[You'll have your chance, Emmet.]

Really really? Did he say that? He's really coming back?! [holy shit he looks so excited] Wow! I'll really get to meet him! Is he really fun to battle, Mr. Emmet? I bet it's super great! And different every time 'cause he has so many Pokemon! I'll really have to catch up to him now--!!

[looks like you have a fanboy on your hands......]

[infinitegrin]

[...Ah, well. It's pretty cute in its own way. He's proud of Hilbert, too.]

He is! He's very talented, he has a good mind for strategy. He's been raising more Pokémon, too, you'll have to work quite hard to keep up!

[50shadesofsubway]

Even more? [He looks awed and daunted at the same time.] Do you know what kinds? Or how many? Even if he already has a Pokemon, you can't use that to cross out a possibility for his next Pokemon...!

[n-nate........]

[infinitegrin]

I don't know! After all, he wouldn't reveal to me his new cards. He will use the element of surprise to hijack control of the battle.

1/2

[50shadesofsubway]

Aaaah, that's right! I nearly forgot! He doesn't slip up once....!

[Nate shakes his head vigorously, clenching his fists in determination. HRRRRGH SENPAI, SO COOL.] Okay! I'd better go get started on my challenge, then! I won't get anywhere otherwise!

[GONNA RUN OFF AGAIN, READY SET G--]

[50shadesofsubway]

Oh! Mr. Emmet! One more thing!

[SO EAGER.]

Please tell him I said hi!

[infinitegrin]

If I hear from him again today, I'll be sure to! But don't worry about that. You're about to board my line - so win 48 battles and face me!

[50shadesofsubway]

Alright! I will! I'll be there sooner than you know it-- so prepare yourself, okay? You better be ready!

[especially since his team is speed-based this time sdfjadfk welp

RUNNING OFF TO GET READY TO BOARD THE TRAIN, LATERRRRRRR]

[infinitegrin]

[Speed-based! You'll get past him during the test, but Emmet ushers his challenger right along. Win those 48 battles!!]

[50shadesofsubway]

[HE'S GOING GOING GOING GOING!!!! GOTTA GO FAST

HE'LL BE THERE SOONER AND NOT LATER]

Made it!

[infinitegrin]

That you did! Now we battle. I like combinations of two Pokémon. And I like winning more than anything else. This time, I am really serious. Really serious. Because if a battle is not serious, it is not fun.

[50shadesofsubway]

[Nate bounces on his feet a little in anticipation.]

Okay! Let's do it!

[BATTLE STARTO!! Nate's thought process is as fast as he is eager, so while the battle might not end quickly it's certainly fast-paced. His Pokemon are quite fast too, especially his Swellow, though Frosslass attacks viciously as well, dishing out more super effective attacks.]

[infinitegrin]

[Emmet's no pushover, especially with how relentless things in the past made him. He was starting to loosen up the viciousness in his battling, but it lingered, making him a jarring opponent at times.

Still! Nate triumphs over Emmet, and Nate gets the usual spiel like always.]

I am Emmet. I am a Subway Boss, but I lost against you again. But I feel good. Because it was very fun! You want to win, and I don't want to lose. That's real. When we clash in battles, I feel very excited! Go forward, and challenge the Super Double Line! Hilbert's record is 140 battles!

[50shadesofsubway]

[GEE LOUISE EMMET YOUR BATTLING IS ALL JAGGED EDGES]

Yeah... ...! [Slightly out of breath but still no less enthusiastic, Nate clenches his fists in VICTORY AND DETERMINATION.] I definitely will! As soon as I can!

[...]

Well, I guess I'd better take a break before jumpin' right on, but....
