"Really?" Caleb asked. He didn't bother looking. The last thing he wanted to do was make eye contact with someone at the moment. He wasn't enthusiastic about starting a match on the crowded train. Noibat looked a little smug. She was special in this region. Marshtomp rolled his eyes and folded his arms, huffing at the Noibat's attitude. Marshtomp was special too!

Allen had been able to slowly make his way over to the others, having been on the train for a little while now. "Finally! I've been trying to get to you guys for a minute now. This dude had me held up with a battle on the last car." He rolled his eyes, stupid checker pattern. At least it was an interesting battle with that Dusclops. "What's up?"

Rei blinked; did Rose just call his Zubat unremarkable?
"Well, nothing says you're not from around here quite like exotic Pokémon," Rei commented, conceding Rose's point. While it was true that Zubat were generally the most common Pokémon ever (excluding maybe Geodude), Rei still believed his Zubat was special. Admittedly, though, that just was because she was his first Pokémon. He turned his head at the sound of a familiar voice.
"Oh! Hello, Allen," he said with a start. "Battling on the subway train? Isn't that dangerous?" He seemed to be the only one surprised at this, however; it was common knowledge that Unova's subway trains were resilient and exciting.

He quietly listened to Rei and Rose talk about how unique of a pokemon Zubat was.
Then a wild Allen appeared. He gave him a wave. "More importantly...did you win?" Caleb asked. He smirked a bit at Rei's comment about subway safety and battling.

The train eased to a stop, and a light flashed on at the train's doors. A voice chimed through crackling speakers.
"Anville Town, Anville Town. Next stop: Nimbasa City. Please don't forget your belongings." Rei hopped off the train, his Zubat in close pursuit. A cool breeze blew through the town as the group reached the outdoors. In the distance, a flute could be heard.
"Quaint," Rei stated.

Caleb grabbed his things before carefully making his way off the train. Noibat climbed up his back to his shoulder. Marshtomp stayed close, not wanting to get separated. Caleb glanced around. Not the most impressive town he'd seen, but at least he felt like he could relax here.

Rose got up and followed the others outside, then activated her Capture styler and formed a Guardian Sign, summoning her Noibat as well, which appeared near her and fluttered about, seeming like it was greeting her. She smiled and tossed it some Pokemon food, which it caught and started eating.

Allen made the sound of a deflating tire and rolled his eyes, "You think Lydia would let me lose?" He thumbed at the Banette who was playing with her zipper. She looked up to wave slightly before going back to fumbling with the Mega Stone holder. All these other people were making her nervous, at least when she was battling she could ignore them...
"Sure it can be a but dangerous, but they lay out some guidelines prior to the battles, not to mention all these trains and railways are apparently made to handle all the fighting." He shrugged as the train came to it's destination. When he stepped out into the air, a chill ran up his back, it was so nice to get out of the stuffy air in the train.
"I'm loving the view around here."

Rei glanced around, pleased with the scenery. He agreed with Allen; the view was indeed satisfying. The turntable was busy spinning away, relocating train cars as the unseen operators saw fit. There were traders exchanging goods at various places, lots of local treats for sale, and tourists all around.
"Wow. This place must have a lot of revenue come in just by the travelers," he remarked. His Zubat nodded, fascinated with a tree full of Caterpie.
"Hey, Countess, don't harass the locals!" Rei called out halfheartedly. She always got her way, it seemed. He shrugged and turned back to face the rows and rows of cars.
"I wonder what's in all those train cars," he wondered aloud. A man nearby overheard Rei and cried out with glee. Another tourist interested in the cars!
"Well, sir, this train car is the kind that ran a long time ago. Compared to contemporary train cars, it has more parts, so I heard it was difficult to build. The old train cars built with lots of small parts have their own unique beauty and attract a lot of fans. Those cars no longer run in the Battle Subway, but I hear they're still used in a faraway region. Ah... I'd love to be on that train!”
Rei stared, dumbfounded at the man’s open knowledge of the train car.
“Uh, thanks.”
“Don’t mention it!” the worker cried out jubilantly. “I love telling tourists about all the cars!”
Rei looked back at the old train car.
“Can I ask you something, then?”
“Ask away.”
Never keeping his eyes off the car, Rei asked, “Is that train car still in use for transportation?”
The man nodded vigorously. “Of course.”
“I see,” the Aquan commented. “Is it normal for there to be Pokémon in such numbers on the cars?”
The man turned to see what was gathering so much attention. Pokémon from Kalos were erupting from the train car, stowaways from the region.
“Uh… No.... What in the world…?” Rei took that to mean hell no. Taking the interesting opportunity to catch a Pokémon, he turned to the group.
“Rose, see if you can befriend some of these guys before they get too hostile towards the town. I’m off to catch one.” With that, he joined the group of trainers who were thinking along similar lines as he.
For reference, the Pokémon pouring out from the train car are all native to Kalos.

Rose nodded to Rei "You've got it" she agreed "Capture, on." she engaged her styler, and calmed her mind and sent the styler's word to rap around a large group of the Kalos Pokemon, sharing her heart and trying to calm them. It seemed to be working on that group, but another Pokemon that had already gotten out of the car was charging at her.
Rose wasn't sure what the Pokemon was, but she deduced from it's appearance that it was an ice-type. Her Noibat quickly flew in to protect Rose, using Steel Wing.
The steel attack was super-effective, but Amaura recovered and retaliated with Ice Beam, sending the smaller and lighter Pokemon falling to the ground.. Amaura charged towards noibat to attack again, this time with Stone Edge, but Rose used her styler quickly to send Noibat back to its home, then she called out her shiny Honedge from it's Pokeball. Ice was also weak to steel moves, so she'd have to reward Noibat later for knowing to use that attack.
Honedge, use Flash Cannon" Rose ordered as she returned her focus to calming the Pokemon snared in her capture line, and she also reached for a great ball figuring that since she was forced to defend herself from that ice-type she might as well catch it.
Flash cannon struck Amaura and Rose threw the Great Ball at it. The Great ball wiggled a few times, then clicked, indicating a successful capture while Rose had just finished calming the large group of Pokemon still within her capture line.
Amaura's Pokeball vanished, automatically transported to her Pokemon storage

Allen Watched a a couple Pokemon ran off in his direction, "Kell! Lydia! Let's go!" He tossed a Pokeball, revealing a Pawniard while Lydia threw herself over her trainer's shoulder to run along side the energetic little Steel Type. The enemy Flabebe didn't quite have a chance to defend itself from the oncoming Iron Head from the Pawniard. The Dedenne charged forward however, sparks flying from it's cheeks, it brushed across Kell causing a small amount of damage, but left Kell barely able to move. "Nuzzle..." Allen grumbled, "Lydia, Phantom Force. Kell, use Iron Head!" They both turned their attention to the tiny electric rodent. Who quickly pooled an electric current in its cheeks that gathered in front of its mouth and shot in a thick beam, hitting Lydia pretty hard before she had the chance to vanish from sight. With a swing of her arm she became invisible as Kell charged forward, lowering his head and ramming the small electric type. It rolled across the ground for a few feet and came to a stop on it's feet, slightly dazed.
It shook his head, regaining it's composure. This was one resilient little rodent. It finally shot another Charge Beam aimed at Kell before Lydia appeared behind it and took a strong swipe at it's backside, leaving it to run back to the train for safety.

As fascinating as trains were, Caleb squinted as something more interesting at the moment caught his eye. Awesome, they had vending machines here too. Time to stock up! Recently he had been taking advantage of the machines. They were practically everywhere, compared to in Kalos. He walked right over to the nearest machine, pulling out his wallet. Then the flood of Kalos pokemon from one of the train cars.
Marshtomp tugged on Caleb's sleeve to get his attention. Caleb shooed the mudfish as he stood there pondering what snacks to buy. Marshtomp rolled his eyes.
Suddenly Caleb's wallet slipped from his hands, being carried away away by a Furfrou. Oh hell no.
Caleb threw a quick ball at it. Miss! Terrible aim. Marshtomp dove into the crowd of pokemon. A series of shouts and barks were heard. Fists, teeth and paws were everywhere. Marshtomp hurried back over, proudly holding Caleb's wallet.
Caleb pursed his lips. If he hadn't caught the Furfrou, what had he caught? He looked at the closed Quick ball laying on the ground.

After the Pokemon breaking out of the train and helping to calm them down, Allen moved over to the vending machines near the station, he noticed a familiar figure leaning down but couldn't quite piece together who it could have been. "Hmm." He squinted, thinking hard about who the heck it was.
Suddenly, loud music erupts from behind him--
'Booty, booty, booty, booty, rockin' everywhere, Booty, booty, booty, booty, rockin' everywhere, Booty, booty, booty, booty, rockin' everywhere
Rockin' everywhere, Rockin' everywhere
I found you MS NEW BOOTY
Get it together and bring it bac--'
Allen quickly spun around to find music booming from Lydia's insides, He furiously prodded her belly and chest to try to find the stop button. It had to be his MP3. How else would this fricking song, something he'd been meaning to remove for the past couple YEARS, have been blaring from Lydia's body. Finally the song cut off abruptly and he stood in silence, everyone around the town had turned their heads to find his incredibly red face, he looked back over to the person from before, and it just clicked in his head that the person he'd been trying to figure out, just from a butt, was Caleb.

Rei tossed a Quick Ball at a Honedge trying to cut up his Zubat.
"I'll deal with him later, Countess," he promised, seeing her frown. Just because it was a Honedge doesn't mean it's an automatic asset to his team. Loud music suddenly filled the air.
"Booty, booty, booty, booty..." Rei's eyes widened, and one eyebrow raised.
"So that's what Allen's into," he muttered to Caleb.

"Get it together and bring it bac--"
Caleb quickly stood up straight, holding the Quick ball. Loud music was loud. He spun around to see what was going on, and behold there stood Allen with a cherry red face.
He raised an eyebrow at Rei's comment before slowly nodding.
"Bit of an odd taste in music if you ask me..." Caleb muttered.
