"Sigilyph? It's fascinating, isn't it? They resemble Nazca Lines. I got a glimpse of this Pokemon outside of here, in Sphinx's combat simulator. So the association is locked in now. ...Anyway, I'm sure he'll take any reassurances you have to give him. Don't let me stop you. I certainly don't want to be stuck being the only one reassuring him day in and day out."
Alas, she didn't manage to entirely avoid the script.
Here in the final car, you may at last confront the Subway Boss, Emmet. He is standing in the middle of the car, his posture completely unthreatened and casual, with the same wide smile that is almost always on his face. But there is fog swirling around him, stretching out into bars like a cage.
He is Emmet. He won't belabor the point if he doesn't have to. His smile takes on a more manic energy as he spreads his arms out in a quick, powerful motion, heedless of the fog "cage" as he shows off a Pokeball clutched in each hand.
"I am Emmet. I am a Subway Boss. I like Double Battles. I like combinations of two Pokemon. And I like winning more than anything else. So we are going to have a Double Battle now."
[Oh goddammit. ARE THEY? ARE THEY NOW? Saturn's never been great at these! Usually Jupiter is his doubles partner, and he doesn't have experience alone . . .
He can't really get around it. All right. Who should he use? He tries to remember what Pokemon he's seen Emmet have when witnessing his battles with Ingo or just seeing him out and about, and he can only remember Joltik and that goddamn eel. They're both Electric.]
We'll see if you can manage against me. I know Ingo thinks the world of your abilities, but if I have to take down his own dear brother to fulfill my objective, so be it. Go, Bronzong! Go, Toxicroak!
FUCKING EEL! Eelektross is a tank with a lot of HP, so with no weaknesses, it's unsurprising he will outlast Toxicroak. For now, Archeops cuts in quickly with an Aerial Ace to Toxicroak, while Eelektross uses Gastro Acid on Archeops so he isn't suffering later.
[FUCK EELS AND FUCK DOUBLE BATTLES, Saturn's team isn't designed for this! But Bronzong is going to hurl a Gyro Ball at Archeops while Toxicroak gets in a Poison Jab to try and poison Eelektross and help take care of that load of HP.]
Alas, Eelektross is not poisoned. And now he's free to use Thunder Wave on Bronzong while Archeops unleashes an Earthquake to get rid of Toxicroak. That Gyro Ball hurt, though...
[He can't just give up. He said he'd take Emmet down! He's going to take Emmet down!
2d6+1 = 6. Well, he's not going to take Emmet down this time.]
Sharpedo, Liquidation!
[Gotta try and get Eelektross's defense down! It's more important to take out the eel. Bronzong can keep Gyro Balling Archeops on turns where it's not too paralyzed to do so.]
Saturn's been holding back Crobat, who is weak to both Archeops and Eelektross, but he has no choice now. And at least Archeops is out of the picture. She's still a Flying type up against this bitch of an eel, but she has a couple of tricks up her . . . wings: she's very fast, and]
At last! Eelektross doesn't immediately succumb to the confusion, sending out another Discharge. But it doesn't quite take Crobat out, and then he hits himself in his confusion next turn. He's starting to run low on HP...
[If this doesn't finish it, maybe she can at least poison Eelektross while Bronzong tanks it out with its Steel typing. Go, Crobat! She shrieks in rage and soars to slash at Eelektross. Fuck you!]
[As he reads the Plate. But! He won! Crobat did it!! He pulls her over to hug her, and she nuzzles in happily. Check this out, Ingo's subconscious! CROBAT PREVAILS IN ALL THINGS]
Thank you, Emmet. That was...entertaining. Actually.

[Jokingly, though. His mood is much better since he entered.]
Thank you for the information. Sigilyph...but anyway, I'd better go finish what I've started.

She takes a seat, crossing her legs and posing coquettishly. There's no reason for all that. This is probably just continued Ingo-vision.

They appear with energetic battle cries. You will have to win separate dice rolls against both of them in order to win.

BRONZONG VS ARCHEOPS: 2d6+2 = 8.
TOXICROAK VS EELEKTROSS: 2d6+1 = 5.

Mercifully, Emmet does not seem to be replacing Archeops with anyone. Even he is severely limited in his team size.

Go, Crobat! Confuse Ray!

"I am Emmet. I lost against you. But that is fine. You have earned a reward."
He pulls out a strange tablet, handing it over. It is engraved with the words "It gathers power from the Plates, listening for the flute's song."
You have received a Stone Plate!

Actually, he will stride over—completely ignoring the misty "cage" at this point—to heal your Pokemon himself.
