BECAUSE WE GIVE NEGATIVE SHITS AND LOVE SUBWAYS

[tsuntrader]

IT'S PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY MAN

SILVER'S EXISTENCE CREATES INTERESTING PROBLEMS

SUBWAY DEPOT AGENTS ARE ALL PRECIOUS BABBIES

HILDA IS CRAZY

EMMET IS SAD

INGO IS DATING ELESA?!?!?!

AND SOMEHOW WE WILL ALL WORK IT OUT LIKE A COMPLETELY DYSFUNCTIONAL SUBWAY FAMILY

BECAUSE WE CAN

AND ENTER HILBERT

You're telling me. We-

[tried it while inside- tried it in a simulation- anyway] We can do it, right Weavile? We've gotta beat Hilda's streak.

[Totally brofisting Weavile sorry about that man]

[howdoipokemon]

Hilda's streak? Oh...

[Cameron goes a little pale at that, laughing very anxiously at that.]

That's ambitious.

[tsuntrader]

Please. Anything she can do I can do better. [PSEUDO-RIVAL...]

[tsuntrader]

[YOU GOT THAT RIGHT]

[howdoipokemon]

Then we'll probably battle. Will you go single, double, or multi?

[tsuntrader]

[He doesn't have Gold, and Gold's better at double battles while he's better at single battles...

He looks a little upset. Just for a second. But then he returns to being calm and collected.]

Probably single.

[howdoipokemon]

...Right. Okay. Then you have a record of... 160 battles, to surpass.

[tsuntrader]

[...God dammit, Hilda.]

Piece of cake.

[howdoipokemon]

If you say so. The Battle Subway is meant to challenge even the most powerful trainers.

[tsuntrader]

I think I can handle it.

[howdoipokemon]

See you eventually, then...

[tsuntrader]

[Nod! And that even gets a smile out of him. True bonding is through Pokémon battles.]

[howdoipokemon]

...Though you may battle Jackie, instead of me. It's better, he understands Pokémon a lot better.

[tsuntrader]

[He'll probably end up battling every one of you guys. Maybe multiple times. He'll beat that streak if it kills him.]

...He does? [How do you... Not understand Pokémon...?]

[howdoipokemon]

Yeah. He's very talented.

[Well, compared to you, Cameron... you're a talented strategist but you are damn horrible at understanding the Pokémon themselves.]

[tsuntrader]

...How can you not understand your Pokémon?

[howdoipokemon]

...I'm not good with them, same as how I'm not very good around people...

1/2

[tsuntrader]

Just open up to them. It's a lot easier to do that with Pokémon than with people. All they ask for is love and care.

[tsuntrader]

...And food. [He's looking at you, Weavile.]

[howdoipokemon]

Ah... I... guess...

[Sounds like he logically knows that, but there miiiiight be some issues on how to show love and care.]

It's just hard...

[tsuntrader]

If it's hard, you're thinking about it too much.

[howdoipokemon]

I... the more I think, the easier it is to do it... because I know rationally that they just want simple things.

[Wow, Cameron. Wow.]

It doesn't come naturally, is all.

[Wow.]

[tsuntrader]

[... ... ...

Moro, you were so right about people. God damn.]

If it doesn't come naturally, you're out of tune with your real instincts.

[howdoipokemon]

I... never was in touch with them. Even when I was a little kid.

[tsuntrader]

How? [How do you- wh--]
