[Whelp.
That thing happened. You know, the thing I told you about OOC-ly. The whole murdering-his-other-self thing. It was pretty brutal - but now Emmet is happy.
Really, really happy. In fact, he's so happy, he's in a good mood for once! A really really good mood.
Even if this isn't the Ingo he knows, he's got a big brother. Or a little brother. There's no Zekrom or Reshiram around here.
Anyway, he turned on the video feed, inside the admin room of the Battle Subway, a Galvantula nervously poking at him - unsure. It's not his. It's the one which belonged to the NPC Emmet. But, for now, it'll listen to him. He looks gleeful. A childish sort of gleeful, at that.]
Hello! I am Emmet - and I am a Subway Boss!
Again!
Yup!
[...He's not going to explain what he did. That'd be stupid, airing what he did all over the network. Stupid and without a point. Note... there is a tiny bit of blood left on his sharkteeth. Only a little. He didn't clean them before returning to this. Because he helped Mawile eat the body.
Emmet, stop being a creep.]
But... I still want to go home. I miss home. [That's all there is to it. Well, he also is scared of the prospect of him being mortal now, and what could have gotten to him to make him this scared. There must be a who. It can't be a mistake. What could be happening in his own world, while Ingo is there alone... there's a lot going on in that mind.]
But I am a Subway Boss. I am high ranking again. That is good.
[...Slight pause.]
I am sure I can find out everything here! Is there anything you want me to find out?
[Wow, he is being open. He's just so pleased everything went off perfectly. A single wave, and the video feed turned off.]

Emmet! [Dave appears on the screen, grinning broadly, before realizing that is totally not a cool way to greet someone you admire. He reels it in a bit, trying to err more towards smooth stoicism but pretty much failing anyway.] Um... hey! I mean... Hi! I knew you were totally here and everything, the Doc said he talked to you and everything, but um... heh. [He rubs the back of his neck self-consciously.] Anyway, I'm a huge fan; you and Ingo are like... I hear about you guys all the time!

[Whew, embarrassing. Dave fights the urge to smack himself in the face. I'm a huge fan? Really?] But, uh... wow, I totally agree with you about going home, man. I'm glad they let you be the Subway Boss here, too. [Yes, don't think about it too much, Dave.] Can you, like... find out who did this? I mean -- why this happened? [Right, because, as multiple people have tried to convince him, there's probably no 'who' behind this. He's not convinced, but maybe Emmet feels the same way.] I need my team back, you know?

A fan? [Emmet leans into the screen, curiously - and derp-ily. He had a fan outsider - how cool! He wondered, though... was he a fan to the end? Would he mind what he's done, for the purpose of justice? As long as he doesn't question it, Emmet won't bring it up. Much.] What is your name? I want to know.
[...And... he gets what he wants.]
That is what I am looking into. [He then said, suddenly turning a bit serious. Without dropping the smile, that is.] I need my big brother back - from my world. [And his real team, but he's not going to say that.] Whoever made us seperate will pay.

Yeah, man! You and your trains are pretty legendary, you know? [This is ~so cool~, like meeting Palmer or something! And why wouldn't the higher-ups here in Unova let Emmet take his place as Subway Boss again? He doesn't even really consider that the position might already have been filled... Although if he stops to think about it too much... Dave can't help but grin again when Emmet asks his name.] My name's Dave! I'm from Sinnoh.

That is awesome that you're on the case, man. It's been kind of hard trying to get info, plus most of the other outsiders don't even think there's somebody behind this! [He smiles; finally, someone else who thinks there's an evil mastermind!] Can I do anything to help out?

I missed them. [Matter-of-factly. Right now, those trains are his life.] They are the best. Dave? Nice to meet you! You are from Sinnoh? One day, I want to go there. [Maybe in a few hundred years. When the world evolves away from having subways.] Or maybe to the Battle Frontier. It would be interesting!
They don't? That is... stupid. Yup, stupid. There must be somebody. There must be. [To show justice to.] Hmm... well. I will be unable to leave the subways. I must work, you know? So, could you battle the gyms for me? And for yourself. I suspect the gym leaders know what is going on, too. Ask them, for me. [This is perfect!!]

Sinnoh's pretty cool, yeah, but the Battle Frontier is like, the best place on earth! [He pauses.] I mean, other than, uh... your trains! Totally! But I've only heard stories and whatever they televise overseas sometimes, you know? I was looking forward to checking them out someday.

[NICE RECOVERY. He nods enthusiastically when Emmet calls the disbelieving outsiders stupid.] Right!? Man, I agree with you; there has got to be some asshole behind all this.

You... want me to battle the gyms? Um, shit; yeah, I could do that for you, man! I was planning on kind of... not doing that. Seemed like a waste of time, you know? Since this isn't the real world or whatever. But, sure! I kinda thought the gym leaders might know, too! Cuz, like; that Nacrene gym leader sent us all to that crazy temple, right? [Dave you are talking so fast, stop it. He takes a deep breath and forces himself to stop babbling.]

[Emmet let out a happy laugh.] It would be fun! I have seen some videos. They are good battlers. I wonder if I am better?
[...] Yes. Whoever it is, I will show them justice. For this. [He's serious, though he still has his smile. He sometimes wishes he could show emotions - would this man take him less seriously? Somebody who he feels is actually... interesting. he likes having a fan okay???]
Yup! Lenora sent us here, and Elesa is rude and not letting me battle her. I have one badge, but she is being a big meanie. [...Really, Emmet? Meanie?] Plus, there are things I can only learn as a Subway Boss. And there are things only trainers can learn. Yup, and if we learn together, we can get home sooner.

Heh, yeah, definitely. [A little unnerved by that smile, not gonna lie. Still, he's too starstruck to pay it much mind. It would take a lot to convince him that a Subway Boss could possibly do wrong.] I'd love to deal out some justice, too, man.

[He laughs a bit at 'meanie', assuming that Emmet's just making a joke.] I guess you need more badges than that. What is she, fourth? Yeah, they're not usually cool with skipping around, are they? I'll head to Striaton as soon as I can, dude, and I'll give 'em the third degree and all that. [As soon as he stops talking here, he's going to be waist-deep in the tall grass trying to make something of his dumb team. He wasted so much time already! But how was he supposed to know that not being a lazy bum might actually help the situation?]

I don't think it should take too long... umm... what's after Striaton? Normal, Bug, Electric? Fff... Yeah, my team's not ideal right now, I'll have to catch some more guys. But don't worry about it! I'll be super helpful, I swear. [He grins hopefully.] Anything else I can do for you, bro? I'll see if I can get the Doctor to talk to the gymleaders, too... He knows some weird shit about dimensions and, like; time. I can't get him to tell me the future, though, so that's kinda lame.

Yup! This world will know justice! For all!
[and then it was ace attorney I MEAN
Emmet's mind then turned to another subject. What if he was discovered, if he was kicked out? He needed another plan. However, he didn't bring this up. Instead, he just smiled.] You know, I have a lot of spare Joltik. My Spinarak and Joltik were in love! Do you want one?
[Yes, he is doing this. Being friendly and wanting to send over some of the babies which helped with the murder.] It could help make a balanced team.
[...]
But, right now, there is nothing else I can think of. I can call you whenever I think of something, can't I?

Oh, yeah, definitely! [Murder babies! All right, so by this point even if he did find out Emmet murdered... uh, alterna-Emmet, he would only care, like, a little bit. Probably. Free Pokemon!] Um, should I stop by to get it or what? Oh, and, I mean; I'm grateful for any of them, but you wouldn't happen to have any with a good nature, would you...? [He hopes he didn't overstep his bounds, there. But natures are important!] Don't worry about it if it's too hard to check them all, though, I'll take whichever!

And, yes, dude; call me whenever you want! I am so psyched to help you out; I feel like we might actually get somewhere finally!

[Emmet then gave a nod.] I have a lot of them. I will look for the best one, and send it out! Yup! I can send you a timid one - the Joltik the kidnappers gave me had a good amount of speed. I am sure it would have shared that with the children...

...Nope, I will send it to you. I am going to be very busy here. [He is.] Where do you want to pick it up? [He's got a Pidgey in the box. This will satisfy the need his Joltik has to not lose all her babbies, right? Hopefully.]

Exactly! I do not want to seem rude... but a lot of people seem to be lazy. Veeeery lazy, they do not seem to want to head home.

[Fff, he called them kidnappers! Dave is on the same wavelength as a Subway Boss and is loving it.] Well, I'm in Nimbasa now. You could send it to the Pokecenter and I'll get it there?

No, lazy is totally accurate, man. Almost everyone is like, really chill with being kidnapped and that is not cool.

Hm, okay! I will send it there tonight - after I get back to work, that is!
[He is so happy, still!! :D]
Yup! It is uncool. It is also very upsetting. There are some people from here that I dislike, for that. Is it the same for you?

People I dislike from here? From, like, this world? This Unova? [He frowns slightly, glancing away as he tries to think of an answer to that.] Well, yeah, kind of. I'm pretty pissed at Lenora for sending us to that booby-trapped castle, and... well, I guess I'm kind of pissed at everyone, really. They don't seem to care that we're here. Man, this one otherworlder girl had me thinking I was going crazy because I thought the gymleaders might be in on it. I'm so glad I got to talk to you, dude; you know what's up. The people here are assholes.

[Ohh, this is an interesting sight on the feed! Nepeta doesn't think much of it, really, because she doesn't have any questions but then she catches his teeth in that smile—or, more importantly, that little speck of blood on them.]

Heeheehee! Looks like somebody didn't clean up after their last hunt! [She grins as she says it, baring her own teeth. Fortunately for him, the girl doesn't seem terribly suspicious. This just looks like a hunt to her, and it's not like she doesn't partake in killing beasts regularly!]

...Hm?
[Emmet looked to the screen - and then, as soon as he heard Nepeta, flicked it to private.]
What do you mean?
[He's still playing dumb, though. Of course he is.]

Right here! [Still completely oblivious to anything that could be actually wrong here, Nepeta bares her fangs as wide as she can and pokes at a spot on her own teeth where the blood is in Emmet's mouth.] Missed a spot!

...
[Emmet then turned to slightly off-camera - asking his Rotom what she's on about. Of course, talking in hushed tones. He then, you know, wiped the blood off.

A few moments later, he looked to her, his silly expression... sort-of gone. He still looks silly and giddy. But less so.]
You called it a hunt?

Well yeah. [She sounds almost confused as she says it.] What else would it be? [Hunts have always been normal to her! More than anything, really, she's just kind of perplexed at the reaction she's getting.]

...Yup, what else!
[Emmet suddenly said, perking up again.]
Not many others call them hunts. They call them other silly things.
[Like creepymurder.]
I was a little confused.

Well, I've been hunting furever! I don't see what else you could pawsibly call it. [And now she's all excited! Nobody else appreciates hunting as much as she does. If anything, she's just been called out on it, especially in this new world.] So, what was today's purrey?

It was... well, it was somebody who was in my way. [That's all he'll say.] But there are many different words for it. You are not human, yes? [Greyskin. That is so cool. :3] Maybe your world is a lot different.

In your way? [Curious Nepeta is curious! And this sounds an awful lot less like the beast-hunting she's been assuming.]

Oh, no, of course I'm not! [Just the thought is silly enough to make her giggle.] I'm a troll! The diffurences between here and Alternia are huuuuge.

A... subway boss? Of a high rank? Did that mean what Hal thought it did?

He raised his hand, just in case it was the right thing to do. "Can I take the subway home so I can visit my mom and my brother?" He was really beginning to miss them.

"...If you could..."
Emmet closed his eyes, a bit sadly. He missed his brother too.
"I would have already gone home. I am sorry."

"Aww..." said Hal. "That sucks."

He guessed he'd get home eventually, when he finished the challenge. Or failed it. But he really did miss his family.

"Where does your subway go, anyway?"

"It goes all over Unova, really. But it's not for transport, mostly. It's a Battle Subway!"
