[Vicious looks back and forth between Litten and the gate, considering. He is definitely not going to force any of his Pokemon to come with him... Which means either going without them or staying with them and doing something else.
Unfortunately, with all the buildup he now really wants to see what's down the tunnel. And while Litten has been there for him so far... his instincts and the fact that Shadow Ingo left him alone are telling him not to prioritize that.]
...Well, y'all can wait here, then. I'm gonna check it out.
There is a moment of tension. But, understanding your resolve, Litten then scrambles to climb up over the gate to follow you. The others follow suit; the Sneasels lift the others up over the gate before climbing over themselves. They may not like whatever is down the tunnel, but they aren't going to let you become a victim of it alone.
The other Pokemon form a protective formation around you. Now it is safer to proceed! ...They're all pretty certain it's not safe to proceed, but safer!
Litten meows, and then blows out a small flame to help you see temporarily. The tunnel is still empty. Nothing is there in front of you. That makes it all the more surprising when the atmosphere rips itself open, revealing a throbbing hole into a foreign dimension. Its force swallows you in instantly, along with your whole menagerie.
As you fall through vividly-colored nothingness, for a moment, it feels like you have lost the few memories you have made since waking up here. ...But, though you are dazed, the memories of the Pearl Settlement and Gear Station slowly filter back in.
You appear stranded at random on the platform at Nimbasa City, your Pokemon collapsed in a pile on and around you. You obviously did not arrive by train, and there is no train pulled up to the platform. The announcement still plays as you get your bearings.

[Vicious says this with a mock-indulgent tone that comes out less mock- than he intends. He's smiling a little.]
Least we know there's no train comin'. Let's go.

[Vicious mutters, but continues forward. Honestly, what is life without a pervasive sense of dread at all moments?]
