[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???

Skyla still has more muscle.

[noterminalcalledend]

It's not about Skyla I just want to be called handsome and strong.

[likewinning]

You are verrrry handsome and strong.

[noterminalcalledend]

[laughs, then struggling a bit with his boots]

[likewinning]

[ kneels down to help him with those. ]

[noterminalcalledend]

Thank you.

[this is embarrassing]

[likewinning]

Do you remember how long it took for me to learn how to tie my shoes?

[noterminalcalledend]

...half a year longer than me.

I worried about you tripping a lot even though I tripped far more even with tied laces.

[likewinning]

It didn't make sense to me. Over, under, then what? How?

[noterminalcalledend]

Trying to learn a line about it made it more difficult, not easier.

[likewinning]

But you were verrrry patient and always showed me how.

[ finishes with those boots, straightening up. ]

[noterminalcalledend]

I didn't mind showing you. I wanted you to learn in a way that was comfortable.

Ah. Thank you, Emmet. Roll me to the burgers.

[likewinning]

Follow the rules. Safe driving!

[ adjusts his hat, then circles the wheelchair. ]

Follow the schedules. Everyone smile!

[ pauses, checking for his wallet, then nods once with satisfaction. ]

Check safety. Everything's ready! Aim for victory! All aboard!

[ OFF WE GO, BROTHER. ]

[noterminalcalledend]

Departing the station on schedule!

[likewinning]

[ into the elevator of anticipation. ]

Destination: burgers!

[noterminalcalledend]

[I'm ready to ignore randos and get food]

[likewinning]

[ he reaches over and gives Ingo's shoulder a gentle squeeze before the elevator doors open.

and then sucks in a bit of air as he pushes him outside. ]

[noterminalcalledend]

[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.

[likewinning]

Moe's. It is not very far.

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

[noterminalcalledend]

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

[likewinning]

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

[noterminalcalledend]

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]

[likewinning]

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! ]

[noterminalcalledend]

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....]

[likewinning]

[ 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.
