The Robotic Utopia of the Future - Tunik (Open)

Diana: Honestly do you expect us to stand in the gym for hours on end waiting for challengers?
I'm travelling to all my fellow gym leaders to find inspiration for a music piece, My darling little Ghost Pokemon let me phase through things, which makes getting where I want a pinch.

???: Lit-wick
*A Little Candle appeared on Diana's shoulder*

Hillary: Oh that pokemon~
Pokedex: Liwick, The Candle Pokemon, While shining a light and pretending to be a guide, it leeches off the life force of any who follow it.
Hillary:....whoa.

"Slightly Dominic, isn't it?"

"It's not bad..." Dimitri said "You can't judge nature on something it can't control" Dimitri reasoned

"Don't do that again Diana! geez, I still owe you like what? 4?" Ryutaro said

Diana: 5 and counting.

Hillary: W-well anyway, can we get on the train?

"I think that be a good idea." Toa said.

"Ya... you can... we leave actually very soon" Ryutaro said, pulling out a bronze pocket watch with a yellow UU written on the cover "In five minutes.... take your seat, just don't stay in the first 4 cabins, those are reserved, Diana, you can either stay here in Nexat or come for the ride.... just don't do that again!" Ryutaro said

"fine..." Dimitri said, heading down the hallway
"Hey, don't rush ahead" Minnie said heading after him

Diana: I'll come along. *Diana walked through the cabin wall*
*Her head pops out of the wall* Also no promises.

Hillary: That is really kinda creepy....

toa shivers a little as he gets on.

People came on the train one at a time, the first four cabins taken by a group of scientists, the train whistle blowed about 5 minutes later, the train moving forward

Hillary: Wow this train is actually pretty cozy.
The Steampunky-ness threw me off.

Tao sits down, and looks out the window.

"Well, Ryutaro is one heck of an alternative engineer" Minnie said "Actually.... he's quite the research doctor too, but he retired from that a while ago" she explained "This train is his pride and joy" Minnie said

"....So figure those coats know him?" Dimitri asked

"I don't know.... he's not in charge of bookings.... I think he just likes to drive the train" Minnie said

Hillary: He looks so feminine...

"Don't judge a book by it cover." tao told her.

"....Come on Cuz, have you seen him?" Dimitri said "we won't judge battling skills or whatever, but still"

Outside the cabin, one of the lab coated men wondered the halls, with green eyes and dark grey hair

"....hey, since we are going to be here for a few hours, maybe we should find somewhere we can train for a bit?" Dimitri thought outloud

Hillary: I was just pointing it out..
And where can we find a place to train.....on a train?

"How about we have a battle." Toa said to Hillary. Give it a change of pace."

"A place to battle? Ever here of Unova's Battle Subway? 1 of the karts is dedicated solely for battles" Minnie said "....8 cars back" she said

"Hey, not fair cuz, if you battle her who am I going to battle!?"

Hillary: Well Okay then, Let's go!
*Hillary Merrily jumped up and made her way out*

"I'll take you both on. dubble battle." He told them.

"There is no way you can" Dimitri thought

"Wait up!" Minnie said, following them

In the train car, a battle was already happening, between a Groyvle with a strange device on it's back and a Machoke

"Machoke, use Karate chop!" the trainer said

"Groyvle, 2 o'clock, leaf blade" said the man in the lab coat, typing something into an arm bound minicomputer

Hillary: Oh...Seems there's already a battle here..

"what is with the computer?" Tao said.

Groyvle hit Machoke, knocking it out

"...reaction time reduced by 33%...." the scientest said as the Machoke was returned "better.... but could use a bit of tweeking" he said

"Hey.... you two.... get out of the way! we want to have a battle here!" Dimitri said

"...I see" the man said, returning his Pokemon "...I'll let you take your battle, unless... you care to change your competition to me"

Hillary: Well...Whaddya say Tao, wanna challenge the man in white?
