Oh...! That is—almost overwhelming to imagine. To think that there would be a hundred thousand people in a city at all, and then to imagine all of them paying attention at once...

[He thinks he has an idea of why he and Emmet might choose to have their battles underground, with a strictly limited capacity.]

But it must be a transcendental experience!

[denynamax]

...It's definitely somethin'.

Almost all the gyms in Galar take place in stadiums. Bit smaller than Wyndon Stadium - maybe 60,00 seats instead of 100,00. But I think Nimbasa's Big Stadium's for sporting events, not the League.

[derailer]

Human sports, do you mean? I have no talent myself, but that also sounds very interesting to watch!

Where does the "ferris wheel" factor in?

[Piers answered thoroughly enough that Ingo has lost the self-consciousness that made him lower his voice initially.]

[denynamax]

That's a separate attraction, but Wyndon's got one've those too...

[how to describe. he thinks for a moment...]

You've got trains running on a track underground, right? They move more or less flat. When some bloke invented the ferris wheel, they went - what if I wanted to see the city from the sky while ridin' in a personalized coach?

Instead of a track, you've got a giant wheel stickin' up into the sky. And it spins, carryin' compartments that fit 'bout two or four people on each spoke. Goes a leisurely pace - but it's popular for tourists, bein' able to see the whole city. And handsy teens who want a private place to neck 100 meters off the ground.

Since the damn things are so big, they're usually decked out in lights on the side. Like a glittering jewel 'gainst the city skyline.

[derailer]

[He listens to the description with awe, although he does scoff at the remark about horny teens.]

What a wonderful curiosity! It does sound a little familiar.

[denynamax]

[teens will be teens]

They're pretty hard to miss. Maybe you've ridden it with your bro before - gettin' out from underground and all.

[derailer]

I am sure we must have, if we lived in the city all our lives!!

[denynamax]

Y'never know. Sometimes you live with something every day of your life... it's so normal to see it, you don't think it's anything special.

[derailer]

I see... Is there anything like that in—Spikemuth, was it?

[denynamax]

Not even remotely.

[derailer]

Oh... Are you sure? You spoke of it as if you had personal experience with the concept...

[denynamax]

Wyndon's the one with all the bells n' whistles, mate. I go there for League business... Championship cup finals, exhibitions matches if I'm invited.

Spikemuth's charm is all subculture. Underground concerts in the dingy dark and neon, screamin' your throat raw. Getting wasted and not gettin' home 'til morning 'cause you can't tell the time of day.

[derailer]

Hahaha... It sounds like a very warm community! That is worth celebrating on its own. It is good that you can feel secure enough with each other to loosen your restraints!

[denynamax]

When you don't have a lot, all you've got is each other, sometimes.

[derailer]

There was an element of that in the Pearl Clan as well. Our home settlement was within very harsh snow and ice. It was an unforgiving environment, and loss was a part of life. But it brought us closer together as well, even with a foreigner such as myself.

[denynamax]

Pearl Clan... [where did he hear that name before. oh wait--]

So you know Cyllene? From the Survey Corps, and like.

[derailer]

I do! Though I remained a member of the Pearl Clan, I also assisted the Galaxy Team with their training!! I am very surprised that Captain Cyllene is here!!

[denynamax]

I'm.

Also surprised that Gordie is here.

[derailer]

Gordie...?

[He met him briefly, but not enough to really get his name or understand that he is a Pokemon trainer.]

[denynamax]

He's... on that Rapidash team, same as the Captain. Dyed blond hair and gems growin' out his face...




He's a Galar gym leader too.

[derailer]

Oh! I met him briefly, but I had no idea he was a peer of yours!!

[denynamax]

......'Peer' is the right word for it. I barely know'im, even though Circhester's a stone's throw away.

[derailer]

I also do not have much of a personal connection to Captain Cyllene. But it is amazing to think that others from Hisui are capable of coming here at all!

[denynamax]

They really aren't kidding 'bout this place being outside of time....

[derailer]

Yes... For a while I was starting to think I must be an exception, being from the future originally. Er, the present.

[It's so hard to decide how to talk about time,]
