[Emmet] (08:03AM):
Oi, Oji-san! Good morning from Nimbasa City! I am Emmet!
Don’t worry, I’m not mad you didn’t pick up! We’re both verrrrrrrrry busy people. I just wanted to leave a quick message. Nii-san didn’t come home last night, that’s all. I should know- I waited until morning, and he still didn’t come back!
I’m sure he’s fine! He said he was running late, anyways. I was just going to ask if you heard from him.

[Emmet] (08:12AM):
Oji-san! Are you ignoring me? I can’t believe this! Haha! The Spartan Mayor of Opelucid City is too good to mess around with some silly little train conductor, even after his retirement.
I’m kidding. That was a joke! I am Emmet. You love me.
Anyways, about earlier, can you call nii-san for me? He’s not picking up.
He must have just lost track of the time. Remember how we used to be in Trainer school? You would shout our ears off for staying up until noon the next day. Finals were hard!

[Emmet] (08:30AM):
Hello again! I am Emmet! Is the academy bothering you again? Or did you all lose track of time, Mr. Dragon Master? Must be old age!
Ah, what am I talking about? If nii-san was here, he’d tell me your phone probably died or something.
Maybe his XTrans died, too. There’s no other reason he wouldn’t be picking up.
…Except that shouldn’t have happened. He had a Joltik battery with him.
I’ll be back later. I- I need to check something.

[Emmet] (09:00AM):
I am the Subway Boss, Emmet. Jackie showed me some interesting security footage from last night.
Single Train 001, which was due to report to Anville town for a maintenance check, disappeared between Icirrus and Opelucid on the Axew Line. I’m wondering if you heard about any unaccounted for trains showing up in your area, because 001 It never made it to Anville Town or the Patrat Line at all.
That’s very strange. Verrrrrrrrrrrry interesting.
Because that was the train Ingo-niisan was on.
And it’s gone.

[Emmet] (10:30AM):
Oji-san…
I checked out Single Train 001 for any clues. An entire car is missing and… a-and it was definitely the one nii-san was last spotted on. I-I’m sure he’s fine! He should be fine! There’s no signs of a crash. If anything happened to the car, nii-san would have been able to leave and find his own way back. Nii-san is a verrrrrry capable man, nearly as capable as me!
That was a joke. I am Emmet. I would not make fun of nii-san when he is not here.
And I do not want to worry you. I will call you if anything changes.

[Emmet] (12:00PM):
It’s noon. He has not shown up to work. He has not called into work. He has not shown up at home.
Our Depot Agents have become concerned. I kept things running in the terminal while some of them investigated the track.
Isadore found Ingo’s Excadrill digging around in a panic. They had to call me over to calm her down. Jackie found… three more pokeballs. All Ingo’s.
And Chandelure is gone.
Oji-san, I’m scared.
Please pick up.

I am Emmet. It’s almost our break time. We always meet up at break time.
He’s not here.
I think- I think I may have to cancel the Battle Subway tonight.

[Emmet] (04:00PM):
Ramses handed me the Depot Agent report a couple of minutes ago, relating to the… incident. Nii-san isn’t the only passenger missing. A child is missing, too.
The authorities have… decided… that this mostly rules out the possibility that he has simply… left of his own accord.
Oh, Dragons, why did it have to be a child?
Oji-san, I don’t understand. I don’t understand why he’s not here.
Please tell me you aren’t missing, too…
