[A/N: Here it is! Chapter 2 Part 1! Only one more until I have to start getting creative again. This one is short, but it should suffice until I get the next part out. Anyways, enjoy the part.]
Gloria and Hop were sitting on opposing seats with a single table in between them, while Victor was sitting by himself on a seat with a table. The ride is maybe around three hours, so they had plenty of time to kill. There was a light drizzle outside, but nothing too bad. Although, Gloria was a little worried she was going to have to endure a storm in a skirt. 'I should be honest with myself, maybe wearing a skirt was a bad idea.' Gloria thought to herself. Gloria got out her Rotem Phone and scrolled around on it. She found a 'Motostroke Travel Guide' on the internet. It seemed pretty entertaining, so, she opened the website. The majority of things she read on the Travel Guide were things she already knew. Like how Motostroke is surrounded by a Wild Area, she doesn't know why it's surrounded by a Wild Area, can't you create a safe pathway straight to Motostroke? But whatever, she needs to find some new Pokémon anyway, especially if she's gonna take on the Gym Challenge. Hop was also messing around on his Rotem Phone, which was blue, opposed to Gloria's red. She assumes he is texting someone, possibly Leon. Gloria put down her Rotem Phone and continued staring out the window, it's gonna be a long time until she can get off this train.
Victor had his arms crossed while slouching in his chair, he didn't have much entertainment, and plus, wherever he's going, he's going straight to jail after. Victor had thought about escape plans ever since he had to follow Gloria, he's just never found a good time to ditch. It's always been pretty hard to plan a way off of a moving train. He could just jump off, but the chance of survival after jumping off a moving train are pretty low. He's also considered starting a fire somewhere in the train, but, it'd probably either crash or he'd get caught. Stopping the train doesn't seem to be a very valid option for Victor. 'Guess I'll see what this Pokedex is all about.' The Thief thought to himself.
Gloria and Hop were very bored to say the least. They didn't think the ride was going to be this boring. The only half-entertaining thing was the scenery flying by the train, and the Pokémon wandering about outside were barely visible for a faction of a second because of the train's speed. Gloria wandered to herself what Motostroke is like. She really hopes it's not as dull as Wedgehurst, she remembers her birthday last year when her Mom got her the video game console. Since she ordered it online, her Mom had to take a train to a box-office, a box-office mind you that takes a twelve hour train ride to get to. Dedication. Gloria personally thinks her Mother is insane for doing that, although Gloria still appreciates her nonetheless. Hop put down his blue Rotem Phone and turned his eyes up to Gloria, "So, Leon asked if you had the Thief's last name yet..." Hop mentioned, diverting his eyes across the room. "Well, I don't have his last name." Gloria concluded. "They need his last name for the Pokémon Trainer index, if their gonna locate his parents." Hop added. Gloria looked at Victor, and then Hop. "Fine." Gloria agreed before getting up and walking towards Victor's table. 'He's just so aggressive, it stresses me out.' Gloria thought to herself as she made her to Victor's seat.
Victor didn't really know why he was looking at the Pokedex, he had no use for it. He really only had it so he could sell it to some addicts or to someone on the streets. Unfortunately, so far, this region looks pretty clean. Maybe he'll have some customers once he gets to the big central city, wherever that is. He pocketed the Pokedex and looked out the window. It was basically the same scenery back at that hill, expect now it was wider. Victor saw slight images of Pokémon fly by the window, it looked kind of peaceful. But it really just reminded him of the 'incident' back at the cliffside. He should stop thinking about that before he seems suspicious. 'Christ, how conventional that the Champion and the Professor of Galar arrested the one guy that could be charged with an actual felony. At least I think it's a felony. It shouldn't be, if it is.' Victor pondered. The Thief sighed. Life is tough when your lost in a middle of a region full of people he doesn't like, but that's probably every region. And being homeless is pretty hard too.
Gloria waltzed up to Victor's seat. Victor simply glanced at her before continuing to look out the window. Gloria sat down on the seat across from Victor's, with only a table separating the two seats. Victor moved his head away from the window to lock eyes with Gloria. "What?" Victor asked with a slightly annoyed face. "What's your last name?" Gloria questioned, going straight to the point. "None of your business." Victor replied. Gloria sighed. "Just tell me it so I can leave you alone." She proposed. "No. Why do you even want to know that?" That's not really something you just ask someone with no context." Victor mentioned. "Okay, fine. Just tell me where your parents are." Gloria asked sternly, getting a bit annoyed. "In another region." Victor surprisingly answered. Gloria was a bit confused by that, "Aren't you somewhere around fifteen?" She quelled. "I am fifteen." The Thief replied stoically. "Then why would your parents leave you stranded in another region?" Gloria interrogated. "No reason I'm willingly to give." Victor answered. Gloria tried to keep a neutral expression but she could feel a frown incoming. "What region are you even from?" Gloria asked. "Listen tool, whatever information you're trying to get out of me, you're not getting, so how about you go back to your Alola narcissistic friend and complain to him about how you couldn't do 'this' and 'that'." Victor spitefully barked. Well, obviously, Gloria wasn't gonna leave him alone after that. "Why do you have to be such an absolute jerk all the time? How about you try throwing your clothes into the laundry, along with your attitude, and actually taking a proper shower without using shampoo for seventy year old's?" Gloria spat back. "Hey! I didn't use that goddamn shampoo, it smelled like damp wood. Makes since why cyan-fingernail girl smelled like moist skincare products the entire time. Hell! You smell even worse! I doubt you've taken a shower in days! You smell like a friggin' flying-type ridden Kalos statue." Victor barked again. "Well, you-"
Their insults and pointing argument went on for a while. Gloria never discovered Victor's last name, nor did she even get anything about the region he's from. After sometime of arguing, the rest of the passengers in the train car started to notice the noises of two loud teenagers verbally fighting. Hop finally began to realize that they might get kicked off if they continue to make this much of a ruckus. So, he waltzed over to the two angry fifteen year-olds and, "Okay guys, you have to stop. This isn't really a good look for the future champion. Also known as, me!" Hop described. Gloria and Victor both stopped arguing and looked over at Hop, "Are you guys done now-" as soon as Hop said that, Victor and Gloria looked back at each other and starting arguing again. "That's it!" Hop quietly shouted, he slammed his hands on the table, quietly, and spoke. "If you two don't stop arguing, I'm going to convince Leon to lock up both of you, in the same cell!" Hop offered a pretty hard bargain. Gloria and Victor both locked eyes with each other and nodded. "We'll stop." Gloria confirmed. After Hop had expertly defused the situation, he walked back to his seat, he could almost feel everyone around him cheering for the amazing thing he just did. Hop almost teared up just thinking about it. Gloria followed Hop back to their seats since she definitely didn't want to stay with the damn sociopath in a tiny cell.
Hop and Gloria sat down in their respective seats and rested. That whole ordeal with Victor only lasted about twenty minutes. So, for what was the rest of the train ride; Hop just fell asleep around the one hour mark, and Gloria just scrolled through her Rotem Phone. Meanwhile, Victor was fleshing out his game plan to dodge any questions that may put him on a watch list. 'Accidentally' murdering a Wild Pokemon may not be incriminating, but the stains of blood on his knife may spark some suspiciousness from whatever department he's going to. Also the bandages on his wrist, weird that nobody has asked him about that, but Victor guesses that he should be glad about that since that means he doesn't have to lie to people's faces. Anyways, Victor was practically just looking out the window for the majority of the time.
[A/N: Alright. Chapter 2 Part 2 will be out the day after tomorrow, probably. I remember Part 2 being packed in with all sorts of stuff, I also remember rain being a big part of it. Well, see you then, maybe.]
