[This is a short fic about how the twins met the time traveling readers, and how Ingo fell for the the chief.]
------------------------------------------------------------------
Something weird was going on in Nimbasa particularly rumors surrounding the Gear station, apparently people have been reporting sightings of a supposed ghost train driving though the tunnels and out of the station. Yes, you heard that right out of the station! People have said they've seen it driving along the city roads and flying in the sky on ghostly tracks that seem to appear out of nowhere! saddled with that train was a ghostly lady conductor approaching the last call passenger and security guards asking to pass before disappearing... Of course Ingo thought this was all a load of Spoinkwash.
The Gear Station had a long history and not once in that history has there been anything remotely paranormal going on, It had to be a prank! So the investigation started, First, The twins went through the tunnels where the most sightings were reported. Ingo assumed there was some kind of projector set up down there, While Emmet thought it was a Pokémon causing it. They searched everything with a fine tooth comb and found nothing.
They check the cameras in those sections and again found noting, but the feeds did glitch for a few seconds, However, the timing was way too short for a train to pass by. They deduced the street sightings as a misidentified Onix or Steelix, and sky sightings as a unusually large Gyarados or Dragonair flying over the city; or possibly one of the amusement parks large parade balloons accidentally getting lose, even though the park employees were adamant none of their balloons had gotten loose, they were all accounted for.
Then The twins went to interview some of the station staff for a description of the train. from eye witness description the train appears to be a Bullet class train reminiscent of the Goldenrod Magnet train, it was gray in color with [fav colors lines] decorating it and eight passenger cars; also present was an eerie purple glow! No train like that has ever been present in the gear station, then they interviewed the late night passengers about the ghostly woman that supposedly accompanied the phantom train.
Everyone gave them the same story she was a [y/wt] woman who stood about [y/ht] and looked to be in her early to mid-twenties, with [y/color & length] hair she wore a hat and uniform that was similar to what the twins were wearing, but except her hat had goggles and and her uniform was brown in color, she wore it over a untucked gray button up shirt with [fav color] tie/ribbon/ scarf] around her neck with and black shorts gray and brown boots, They entered the woman's description into the employee profile records; both past and present, and no such woman has ever worked for the Gear station or the Unova rail company ever.
Emmet and Ingo were regrouping looking over their findings when there was a knock on the employee lounge door. "Oh hello Elesa." Emmet greeted their childhood friend, Ingo just nodded at her while going back to the conspiracy-esque board the twins set up. "Hey guys.... *she eyes the board* Still taking a whack at the station ghost?" Ingo just shot her an tired glare, Elesa winced seeing the bags under his eyes, it was clear this whole was thing keeping him up at night. "It's not a ghost, Ghosts don't exist." he huffed Chandelure shot it's trainer a look, which Ingo noticed. "You know what I mean." he muttered at his partner.
Emmet gave Elesa a tight smile. "Well as you can see things are going great, what did you stop by for?" The gym leader remembered and dug through her purse before taking out this odd looking card. "I found this train pass during one of my shoots, I figured someone must've lost it?" She handed the pass over to Emmet before leaving because she had a trainers waiting a her gym.
Emmet examined the train pass with a bemused expression. "This isn't one of our normal passes, did they change the VIP design?" he asked Ingo unglued his eyes from the cork board to see what his brother was talking about, Emmet showed his brother the pass. It was tucked in metal case, The card itself was black in color with a large white clock-like design in the center. "It's not one of ours, where did Elesa find it?" Ingo asked reaching for the doorknob.
Emmet went to say she just found it on the ground, but froze as he stared slack jawed behind his brother. "What's wrong?" Ingo looked to see what his brother was staring at and nearly fell on his butt when he looked through the now wide open door instead of the station lobby they were met by a rainbow colored sky and a desert of white sand as far as the eye can see, but what really had their attention was the "Ghost train" they've been trying to disprove for the last four weeks, was sitting right in front of them!
The twins were speechless as the stared at the train and their surroundings trying to figure out what the hell was happening? when they heard a woman humming both Emmet and Ingo looked around before seeing a young lady in a maintenance uninform happily skipping along the trains roof holding a buffer, she didn't really fit the ghost woman's description, but she certainly of an air of off-centeredness that kept the twins guard up, she didn't notice them right away as she was busy trying the buff out the scratches marring the train's paneling, the twin conductors looked at each other and shrugged before Emmet nervously spoke up. "*ahem* e-Excuse me, miss?" The woman blinked and looked around confused. "Down here." She looked and saw the twins watching her warily.
The woman eyed them both with child-like curiosity before hopping off and approaching Emmet and Ingo looking between them. "Are you guys human?" Her question threw them off guard. "What do you mean are we human?" Ingo demanded very alarmed before the train's whistle went off, The woman took out out a watch her cheery mood deflated. "Aw, time for you to go!" she whined before shoving them back through the door they came out of. "see ya around!~" she waved and slammed the door.
The twins stood in the employee lounge completely flabbergasted before reluctantly going to open the door again only to be greeted by the normal scenery of the gear station's lobby with no trace of the desert or that woman anywhere. "Ingo the pass looks different." Emmet said Ingo looked down at the pass and saw that indeed something has changed, the minute hand on the clock design had moved, the mystery thickens...
