[One day in Unova, the sky opened up.

And dropped out a muppet of a man in tattered conductor's clothing. He hits the ground amid a crowd and instantly a lot is going on. Some people rushing to help him up, to check for injuries. Some calling the police. Some recording the rip in the sky.

And others recording the man, tweeting out that amazing thing that had just occurred.

holy shit a guy fell out the sky

ITS RAINING MEN?! HALLELUJAH???

I can't believe my theory that Ingo was buried in a landfill has been proven wrong like this #FindIngo #FoundIngo???

@ TrueCrimeRoyals TOLD YOU HE WAS ALIVE DUMBASSES

@ SubwayBossEmmet please see this

@ SubwayBossEmmet YOUR BROTHER WWAS FOUND

Somewhere, Emmet's phone is screaming with notifications and calls]

[there's sure people here

Taking pictures

Ingo is turning to look at his brother, ignoring them]

Which place is the one with the curly fries? The name slipped my mind.

Moe's. It is not very far.

[ He does his best to ignore all the gawkers, pushing Ingo along. ]

I always get it confused with Zoe's. But they sell vegan there, right? The very nice salads and such.

They do, yes. Their menu has not changed in years.

Don't change what works.

[people sure are just

Following them, still taking pictures. The major reporters have left but the dredges of media are what's left behind. Tabloids and such.

One starts asking questions--is it really true his disappearance was pokemon related? What's his real connection to young Akari?

Ingo keeps ignoring]

Exactly. And in that respect, you will find that most of our old places are still around with the same stuff.

[ Emmet has learned over the years to ignore them, as much as he hates it. If someone's saying his name, he should respond! ]

Even that little Italian place?

[They just keep trying and trying. Why haven't you made any proper appearances? Don't you owe it to everyone?

And Emmet--what is it like to finally have your brother back in such shape? Rumor has it he might be wheelchair bound for life! Does the burden make you regret his return? Rumors is that his mind isn't what it use to be....]

[ There's a pause, as though Emmet might respond.

But he bites his tongue and keeps walking along, going back to Ingo's question. ]

It is still there, yes! Though her son runs it now.

Joe? That's great, he really loves that place. He's a perfect fit.

[these poor trashy reporters are suffering why won't either of you play :(]

He seems to love it verrrry much.

People are very lucky when they can find a job that they are truly passionate about.

Speaking of which, things are looking good for my return to Gear Station.

[throwing these guys a bone]

I told you it would be fine! They are verrrry excited, from what I hear.

I'm worried about being able to do my best while injured. But I'm very eager to get back as soon as possible.

["Are you REALLY injured?"

Honestly it's not uncommon for people to doubt when Ingo is Injured due to his stoicism]

Can you imagine people questioning if you were injured when there is actual footage of you falling out of the sky online from several sources? It is funny.

[ doo doo we're just trying to get burgers, guys. ]

Perhaps you will be back before I am at this rate.

You would never miss work like that.

["He didn't even miss work while you were missing and thought dead. What do you think of your brother's callous attitude towards you?"]

...

[ hnnnghhhhHHHH. ]

Well, more that you may make it in before my vacation ends.

[and boy these reporters just. Start going on on Emmet and how shitty he is, seeing that it gets a reaction out of Ingo

Ingo has stopped talking]

[ Emmet has had to learn over the years to just ignore it, because what else can he do? They're going to keep talking. It's better not to give them any more to talk about.

So he keeps smiling, keeps pushing Ingo along until they make it to Moe's. ]

Here we are!

[ And as they step in, Emmet reaches over to tap at the "NO SOLICITORS" sign on the window.

solicitors, muck raking reporters, same difference. ]

I want burgers so badly...

[it's easier to focus on that]

[ wheels him over to a little corner table in the restaurant, away from the window. ]

You will get your burgers.

I apologize, Emmet.

What for? Making me push you all the way out here? My arms are already sore.

This is how I will make us match.

I will get you a rocket powered chair if I have to.

No, I'm determined to get you strong. Imagine all the pokemon you could lift with strong arms.
