SUBWAY DEPOT AGENTS ARE ALL PRECIOUS BABBIES

HILDA IS CRAZY

EMMET IS SAD

INGO IS DATING ELESA?!?!?!

[WHAT ARE FISH, WE JUST DON'T KNOW]

Oh, sweet. That's cool. [Hooray for a better-rounded meal!

so do they sit and wait for their sandwiches, or do they stand...]

[infinitegrin]

[They make the sandwiches fresh, heat them in an oven, then present them on a cafeteria tray! It's so hipster it hurts.

But the food's good, that's the important part. Emmet leads him to a table to sit down.]

I saw you trying new Pokémon today! What sort of Pokémon have you been exploring, lately?

[50shadesofnpc]

[Good hipster food, delicious.]

I've been trying to expand my range further. [He perks up visibly at the subject, but he's still as calm as ever. No over-the-top excitement from Hilbert....] I was off looking for a Golett for a while-- I had to search for the right one-- and then I was out training it. [So he wasn't in Nimbasa as much, recently... fairly unusual, for him.]

Hilda has one, already, so I kind of had an idea of what to do from watching her, but... my Golurk's not as destructive as hers, of course. [Heh.] I wanted to see how I could utilize its movepool in a double battle, which is what I was doing today with my older team members. I only wanted one variable at a time-- later I'll set it up with a newer partner, too, so they can get to know one another and work together better. Then maybe I can pose some kind of challenge to you, with it.

[infinitegrin]

You're always a challenge to me! And you're very skilled with Pokémon, I can't wait to see what new passengers you bring onto the line.

[50shadesofnpc]

[H-haha.... when you keep mentioning it, Emmet, it's a little embarrassing...] Thanks. I'll have the new team finished, soon, so I guess you can look forward to it.

[...] Oh, er-- by the way. Did something... happen, Emmet? When you looked at your watch earlier.... [dem scars.]

[infinitegrin]

Hmm? Oh, a purrloin in town got me. I just didn't get out of the way fast enough.

I'm fine, it wasn't that bad. The worst of it was the broken hand, and that just meant that I couldn't write with it or hold Pokéballs with it.

[50shadesofnpc]

A broken hand isn't that bad? [Man.] Sounds like something that would come out of Hilda's mouth. Bet Mr. Ingo didn't take that so well....

[infinitegrin]

It isn't! And he very much overreacted. It really could have been worse. I could have gotten a worse cut on my neck, or I could have gotten rabies. But I'm just fine.

[50shadesofnpc]

Yeah, I guess.... There's always worse. [He shrugs, sipping on his soda.] If you say you're good, then I'll believe you on that.

[infinitegrin]

Thank you for worrying, though. I'm touched!

[50shadesofnpc]

Huh? --Well, it's just... what a normal person would do if they saw stitches that weren't there before. You know. [That's all...]

[infinitegrin]

Really? I haven't received any comments from anyone else who might've seen them.

[50shadesofnpc]

Oh. [...well, that's, uh....] Well, I guess I'm just.... observant?

[He didn't notice or worry for a particular reason... did he? No way he's the only person who saw them--!!]

[infinitegrin]

I like my idea better!

[50shadesofnpc]

But--..... [....] ...Nevermind.

[Okay, okay, whatever. It's not a big deal. BACK TO FOCUSING ON FOOD.......]

[infinitegrin]

[Omn nom sandwich!]

Hmm... What do you think of a new line on the Battle Subway?

[50shadesofnpc]

[!!!!] What, like-- a new type of challenge?

[infinitegrin]

Right! We haven't quite decided for sure... Triple battles, rotation battles... it's hard to say. There's also some of the techniques that Battle Frontiers overseas have, such as using and trading rental Pokémon to progress.

[50shadesofnpc]

Any of those would be really fun. There's not a lot of chances for triple or rotation battles in a really competetive sense, so the opportunity would be great. But-- overseas stuff, too, there's even less chance of that kind of thing here....

[he is okay with all of this]

[infinitegrin]

It all depends! First, the lines have to be constructed.

[50shadesofnpc]

Yeah.... [How long would that take?....]

Who would be in charge of it? I can't say I've ever seen you Triple Battle, or whatever. Gonna promote an Agent or something?

[infinitegrin]

We're training Silver, actually! For now, he's proceeding in his journey, but by the time we have the two new lines constructed, he'll be ready to take charge of them.

[50shadesofnpc]

Wow... Cool stuff. [He's really gotta meet this guy.] So he's journeying? Getting badges?

[infinitegrin]

Journeying, definitely. And I know he and Elesa had a battle! But I'm not sure if he'll challenge the Elite Four.

[50shadesofnpc]

Can't blame him for that. [Hilbert's not challenging them, either. (plus hilda would curbstomp him if he even got anywhere near the championship, anyway....)] Not for everybody, and it's not the only reason to travel...
