#bc. listen. it just reads to me like a place with a monorail system

How would Elesa and Emmet fare in the Ultra Megalopolis? Even though Elio/Selene seemed fine in USUM I imagine it would realistically be as much of a shock as the other way around, considering the people of that world have literally genetically adapted over generations just to survive

I think the first thing that hits them is just how dark it is.

Like. They knew it was going to be dark. Ingo's told them all about the place, how there's no actual sunlight and all the light is provided by one massive, central tower in the middle of the city. They've seen Ingo's aversion to sunlight firsthand, so they shouldn't be surprised that it's dark.

It's just. darker than they were expecting.

The next thing that hits them is that its COLD. Ingo never mentioned that one, probably because he didn't fully realize just how cold it was. And in hindsight, that makes sense too- Ingo hates the heat now, and it should be obvious that a world without a sun is not exactly going to be getting any real heat. They have to bundle up, but thankfully the insides of the buildings are a little better.

And it really is strange, after seeing Nobori stick out like a sore thumb back home because of his blue skin and weird eyes to suddenly be the ones sticking out for their peachy skin and black-pupiled eyes. People keep giving them odd looks. There's no Pokemon here, just the odd Poipole and Naganadel here and there. Suddenly they're the interdimensional travelers, and Nobori is just home.

And honestly... yeah, they kind of miss the sun. It's fine for a few hours, but after awhile its absence just becomes so noticeable. I can't imagine either of them can stay in Ultra Megalopolis for long, but they do try since Ingo's toughing it out back in Nimbasa! I think it really does give them a whole new understanding of just how much he was toughing it out there, especially before Solgaleo gave him his blessing to help him deal a little better with sunlight.
