Three Years

Chapter 15 - Welcome in Unova! Part 1

Hello guys!

And finally, our favorite Dexholders are back in the game! Time to definitely say goodbye to Kalos, and welcome in Unova! You can be sure that a lot of surprises wait for them here!

Anyway, I hope you will enjoy it and, once again, thank you to Hilda for beta-reading it.

oOo

This is Gear Station. This is a transregional train between Lumiose City and Castelia City via Couriway Town and Gear Station. Change here for the Battle Subway and the National Rail Services. Please watch out for the gap between the train and the platform.

     The feminine voice in the speakers resonated in the car as the train from Kalos to Unova eventually arrived in Nimbasa City. The blue sky that could be seen from behind the window was now hidden by the beige curved walls and the metallic roof of the station. The screech of the train's wheels announced the end of the railway journey. Soon enough, the vehicle stopped, and the silent platform was filled with voices, steps, suitcases rolling on the gray tiles and the bumpy yellow stripes.

     After the other passengers got out of the car, a group of people got out of the train. They did not look like a normal group, more like a rather strange mix of people. A little girl with short red-pink hair was playing with a punk man happily, the older of the group. A girl with blond short hair chatted cheerfully with two other teenagers of her age, but deliberately ignored a boy with middle-length raven hair, who was speaking with a young man with spiky brownish hair. On their side, two other teenagers, slightly older than the other ones, but clearly younger than the young man and the punk one, were looking around, examining the faces of the crowd. The man with the spiky hair also began looking around and, even if he was good at hiding the fact that he was lost, it was clear that he was not from this area, and was not familiar with this kind of station. He was about to ask something to the hostess in her blue uniform in her futuristic stand when one of the two older teenagers, a girl with two buns, noticed something near the notice board and brought the attention of the group to two silhouettes that seemed to be looking for something - or someone-.

"Ah, here they are!" the girl smiled, already walking toward the two people, a large smile on her face.

     The rest of the group followed in silence, the major part of it is clearly unfamiliar with the other people, and the area. Near the map of the railway network, the two individuals noticed the rather strange assembling of people and came to them.

     The girl of the couple, a young woman with a wavy and imposing ponytail, was the first one to speak.

"Whi-two! Lack-two! You returned quickly from your trip to Kalos!" she started, looking at the former member of the Team Plasma and the International Police Officer before she looked at the rest of the crew. "Are you the people they told us about before? As in the other Dexholders that are trying to catch the one responsible for those attacks?"

"Yes, we are," the man with spiky hair nodded. "I am Green Oak, from the region of Kanto, and here you have X, Y, Shauna, and Tierno. And those two are..."

"I'm Edward Beadle, Head of Office in R&D, and this young lady here..."

"I'm Daddy's daughter, Ann!" the little girl interrupted with a large smile on her face. "Nice to meet ya!"

"Nice to meet you too, Ann!" Black grinned. "So, you're all here for the terrorist attack thing, right? Are you sure that they came all the way from Kalos to here?"

"More than likely," Lack-two sighed. "They've already attacked all the labs in Kalos, there's none left. And from Couriway Town, the closest region is Unova. Not to mention that Green and I saw them getting on a train to Unova with our very own eyes."
