Here is some more Wandering Spirit AU/Ghost Ingo AU created by @sapphireclaw for their patreon reward! They requested the Depot Agents of Gear Station witnessing Ghost!Ingo doing ghostly things, but they are all doing their best to ignore it or go about their business, though it's not always easy XD

Thank you so much for the request and for being patient as I worked on them! I decided to challenge myself with not just backgrounds but also lighting for reasons FFFFFF!

WERENT EXPECTING ANOTHER DEPOT AGENT COMIC WERE YA (unless youre a patron and you knew for a while now lol)

This comic was brought to you by @potentialforart who commissioned me to finish these pages! I had the script and loose thumbnails done. Thank you again my dear friend!! Now you all can just catch a glimpse at the way this would-be villain thinks.

It also answers the question of Why do Ingo and Emmet even keep this guy around. Because he really is too good at his job, SO good he’ll prioritize work over evil plots. Also if you’re new, Isadore and the other Depot Agents are the Battle Subway npcs. I made some designs/comics for them a while back, so check the tag for those!

Sleeper Cells

https://archiveofourown.org/works/87734856

summary:

Sleeper cells: A sleeper cell is a covert group of operatives. Typically spies and saboteurs who infiltrate a target country or organization and remain completely inactive for long periods. They blend into the local community and await a prearranged signal or order to activate. And yet, these sleeper cells are all self assigned and share the same goal of keeping their two silly train men safe.

or, the Subway Bosses are two of Unova's favorite trainers for whatever reason it may be. They are two of Nimbasa's treasures and its people are the dragons that protect its treasures no matter their oddities.

or or, Ingo and Emmet are Nimbasa's best worst kept secret and Nimbasa is ready to throw hands if need be. It just so happens that the people who are in the position to be able to do so seem to congregate towards Gear Station as Depot Agents

Furze has noticed some odd things about the Bosses and does some digging. Hes sent to Drayden by the Bosses for better or for worse and gets some answers.

Submas Pretender AU: Depot Agents

Behold the station bois, exclusive to the Battle Subway!

Now... p r e p a r e... FOR CHARACTER BLURBS! BECAUSE I CAN! MUWAH-HA-HA-HAH!

Depot Agent Jackie

They/them, Mid 20’s

About: When not battling challengers, Jackie is usually assigned behind-the-scenes tasks. Despite their trickster streak and love of teasing others, they take safety protocols seriously and never intend to cause harm. They’re often paired up with Cameron for station duties.

Tid-bit: Enjoys messing with people, but genuinely cares about their friends.

Depot Agent Cameron

She/Her, Early 20’s

About: When not battling challengers, Cameron typically handles behind-the-scenes technical work. She can be awkward in casual conversation, but her mechanical expertise makes her invaluable to the team. She often works alongside Jackie.

Tid-bit: During heated battles, Cameron’s insecurities over her combat prowess can fade, quickly turning the tide of battle.

Depot Agent Isadore

He/Him, Early 50’s

About: When not battling challengers, Isadore handles administrative tasks not quite important enough to reach the twins, but still vital to the Battle Subway. His seniority combined with his resemblance to Ingo (thanks to his greying hair and grumpy face) has earned him the nickname “Bargain Bin Ingo”. (Thanks Jackie)

Tid-bit: Rarely battles compared to other agents due to his administrative focus.

Depot Agent Ramses

He/Him, Late 30’s

About: When not battling challengers, Ramses serves as an all-rounder, lending a hand wherever needed. This often leads to him working alongside Cloud, Furze, or Isadore.

Tid-bit: Always on the move, Ramses can often be found with a few of the station’s Joltik feasting on the static electricity from his uniform.

Depot Agent Cloud

She/Her, Early 30’s

About: When not battling challengers, Cloud is the go-to agent (along with Furze) for customer service matters. Her confidence and no-nonsense attitude make her invaluable in diffusing tense situations and handling disruptive trainers.

Tid-bit: Loves a good friendly battle. Her skills could have made her a strong Gym Leader, but she would rather not have that kind of responsibility.

Depot Agent Furze

He/Him, Early 20’s

About: When not battling challengers, Furze works alongside Cloud as a customer service specialist. His upbeat personality makes him a favorite among passengers.

Tid-bit: Furze’s, energy and optimism is infectious. He’s usually able to leave upset passengers with a smile and feeling better by the time he’s done speaking with them.

My favorite random bit of Pokemon trivia is that in Gen 5 the Depot Agents primarily use Ground, Electric, and Steel types and in Gen 8 the Rail Staff primarily use Steel, Rock, and Fire types.

When I first saw this I figured out why right away, but it isn't initially obvious to people who aren't railfans because it requires you to know a little bit of railroad history.

Gen 5's Depot Agents work on the Pokemon world's equivalent of the NYC Subway. This system operates steel train cars powered by an electric third rail, and it's famously mostly underground (at least in Manhattan; there's a lot of above-ground elevated trackage remaining in the outer boroughs). Steel, Electric, Ground.

Gen 8's Rail Staff have the types they have because the first vehicles we would recognize today as steam locomotives were invented in the UK. Steam locomotives are operated by burning fuel, usually coal (or oil), in a firebox, which heats up the water in the boiler to produce steam to move the pistons. These pistons pump the drive rods on the drive wheels (the big ones) to move the locomotive.

The locomotive itself is made of Steel, the coal is represented by Rock, and the fire in the firebox covers Fire-types.

It's so subtle but it's so brilliant. Someone at Game Freak knows their railroad history really well and snuck this in.
