All Aboard the Victory Train (Japanese: 勝利へ走れ　出発進行！) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Ingo and Excadrill and Emmet and Archeops.

During this event, players could earn vouchers from battles that could be redeemed in the Shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

This event featured the Battle Challenge, where players were challenged to defeat a team of strong opponents. Players could complete event missions by clearing these areas with teams using various theme skills, earning medals and other rewards.

In addition, players could earn a medal for completing the first five story areas in the event.

After obtaining 2,000 vouchers, the story area Hop on Board! would be unlocked. Completing this story area would unlock two additional battle areas in which the player could challenge Emmet and Ingo together.

First run

The event first ran from June 30 to July 15, 2021. The "Ingo Poké Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Ingo and Excadrill from the beginning of the event to July 22, 2021, and the "Emmet Poké Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Emmet and Archeops from the beginning of the event to July 22, 2021.

In this run, the type of voucher that players could earn was Event Voucher L. The player could battle using Ingo and Excadrill or Emmet and Archeops to obtain +0.6× bonus vouchers; Hilbert and Oshawott/Dewott/Samurott, Hilda and Tepig/Pignite/Emboar, or Nate and Braviary to obtain +0.4× bonus vouchers; and Rosa and Snivy/Servine/Serperior, the player character and Pikachu, or the player character and Torchic to obtain +0.2× bonus vouchers.

Second run

The event reran from July 21 to August 4, 2022. The "Ingo and Emmet Poké Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Ingo and Excadrill and Emmet and Archeops for the duration of the event.

In this run, the type of voucher that players could earn was Event Voucher J. The player could battle using Ingo and Excadrill or Emmet and Archeops to obtain +0.6× bonus vouchers; Hilbert and Oshawott/Dewott/Samurott or Hilda and Tepig/Pignite/Emboar to obtain +0.4× bonus vouchers; and any unlisted Unova sync pair to obtain +0.2× bonus vouchers.

Plot

Ingo and Emmet have arrived on Pasio aboard a train. Overhearing Barry, Dawn, and the player talking about rails on a mountain, they get an idea and travel there. When Barry, Dawn, and the player arrive, the Subway Bosses explain that they're planning to recreate the Battle Subway experience on Pasio. However, the rails only run partially through the mountain, so Ingo and Emmet head to the Battle Villa to ask Lear for permission to excavate the tunnel further.

After defeating Thorton and Darach's teams, the Subway Bosses reach Lear. Lear gives them the permission to excavate the tunnel, but says they must ask Clay"s permission before they can begin. Clay agrees to let them mine the tunnel, as long as they let Roark and Steven keep any Fossils or rare stones they find. Ingo and Emmet agree to this, and excavation begins.

A few days later, the work is complete, and sync pairs appear in large numbers to experience battling on rails. Within the mountain, Ingo and Emmet wait to battle any sync pairs who can reach them. After winning a battle against Nate and Hilda, they're challenged by Cynthia and Wally. Cynthia apologizes for not having been able to visit Nimbasa City while she was visiting Unova, but now, she's ready to battle them, and the Subway Bosses gladly accept her challenge.

Script

Pokémon Center

Name	Text
Emmet	Some verrrry interesting battles are about to start on Pasio!
Ingo	What sights will we see here? I can't wait, Emmet!
Emmet	Yeah, Ingo! We're on Pasio—a junction where all sorts of tracks converge! I'm going to enjoy being here!

A Train of Thought

Name	Text
(Pokémon Center)
Ingo	Hmm... It looks like we've somehow arrived at a station we've never been to before. Look at this island! It's full of promising Trainers, brimming with talent! Bravo! What an excellent stop for us!
Emmet	Indeed, Ingo. I like winning battles against strong Trainers. And even more than that, I like combinations of different Pokémon! It looks like we can have a lot of fun battling here!
Ingo	Bravo! Then our destination is set! All aboard! Next stop—
Barry	Hey, I wonder where those tracks lead.
Dawn	Tracks?
Barry	Y'know, those tracks up on the mountain with the cart and everything! How could you NOT be curious about them?
Dawn	I guess I am a little curious... Wanna check them out and see where they take us?
Ingo	Tracks, they say... Emmet! Let's change tracks and embark on a new route! I have an idea that's sure to make you say "Bravo!"

The Tracks Continue

Name	Text
<player> and his/her friends headed to the top of the mountain to check out the minecart there. However, they discovered a strange duo who got there first.
Ingo	Hello, everyone! We've been waiting for you!
Barry	Whoa, what's going on?! Are you twins or something?
Dawn	Oh, wait! Are you the Subway Bosses from Unova?
Barry	Subway Bosses? What're those?
Dawn	They're superstrong Trainers you can battle on the subway! At least, that's what Hilda told me.
Emmet	Right you are! We're the Subway Bosses!
Ingo	We hone our skills and aim for greater heights in the Battle Subway in Unova! As the subway travels underground, we enjoy Pokémon battles with our passengers inside the subway cars!
Barry	Whoa, really? That sounds like so much fun!
Emmet	If you ever visit Unova, we'd love for you to ride with us! Both Ingo and I will eagerly await your arrival!
Barry	Awesome! I'm definitely going to visit—and win! Actually, why wait? C'mon, let's battle here and now!
Ingo	Bravo! Excellent! Your enthusiasm has the momentum of a high-speed express train!
Emmet	However, we'd like to take a slight detour before this battle.
Ingo	I apologize for eavesdropping, but we happened to overhear your conversation at the Pokémon Center. And because of that, I came up with an idea!
Emmet	Ingo wants to use these minecarts to create something like the Battle Subway here on Pasio!
Dawn	What?!
Ingo	And of course, the best place for us to battle is right on the tracks! But we knew it would be impolite to explore the tracks on our own before you could.
Barry	Oh, I get it! You were waiting for us so we could all explore together! Let's do it! I wanna see where these tracks go!
<player> and his/her friends followed the tracks...
Barry	Hey, the tracks just stop here!
Ingo	In that case, we'll just have to clear a path for laying down the rest of the tracks!
Emmet	Do you think it would be OK for us to do that without asking permission?
Dawn	Oh, in that case, you should probably ask Lear! He's the owner of this island!
Ingo	I see! Then let's find him right away! Thank you for your help!
Emmet	Yes! Thanks, everyone!
Barry	Once you get those tracks up and running, I'm definitely coming back to give them a shot!
Dawn	Good luck!
Ingo	All aboard! Next stop: Lear!

Full Speed Ahead

Name	Text
(Battle Villa)
Ingo	Apparently, we can meet Lear if we battle our way through the Battle Villa! It seems battles on Pasio are fought as three-on-three matches...
Emmet	But this is our chance to show everyone how strong we Subway Bosses are!
Ingo	Precisely! Let's demonstrate our combined power as a two-car train like we always do, Emmet!
Emmet	Or perhaps we'd be a four-car train, if you really think about it.
Ingo	Oh, you're right! Sync pairs include a Trainer and their partner Pokémon! We'll have to make sure we're more in sync with our partners than ever before!
Emmet	Check safety. Everything's ready! Aim for victory! All aboard!
(Thorton, a Beauty, and a Collector appear)
Thorton	Bzweeeeep! Hmm... How very interesting... According to my data-interpreting machine... Yes. Very interesting, indeed. Looks like... Th...thirty-two percent?!
Emmet	What does that gadget do?
Thorton	Oh, don't let it concern you. I'm sure you'll figure it out once we start our battle! It's time to begin!
(Emmet and Ingo battle and defeat Thorton, the Beauty, and the Collector)
Beauty	Eeek!
Collector	S-so strong!
Thorton	Wow! You Subway Bosses sure are strong! sigh I guess my machine's analysis was accurate after all...
Emmet	We sure had a lot of fun! Battle us again sometime!
(Darach, a Beauty, and a Camper appear)
Darach	Welcome, Subway Bosses! I've heard about how skilled you two are. But let me assure you...you won't be shortchanged by facing me.
Ingo	Excellent! We shall rise to the challenge!
Darach	chuckle Very well. I see you require no convincing. Now then! En garde!
(Emmet and Ingo battle and defeat the Beauty and the Camper)
Camper	What a combination!
Emmet	Now's your chance, Archeops!
(Emmet and Ingo defeat Darach)
Darach	Our Pokémon cannot be faulted in any way, shape, or form. My hat's off to you.
After battling some tough opponents, Ingo and Emmet finally reached Lear!
Lear	I'm impressed that the two of you managed to make it all the way here. I'm so impressed, I'll overlook the fact that you ignored Pasio's rules about three-on-three battles! You mentioned some kind of request, didn't you? Let's hear it.
Ingo	Yes, sir! We'd like your permission to begin construction on the tracks on the mountain! So that we can use the minecarts!
Lear	Oh, is that all? I don't mind. Do as you wish. However! I will not accept any injuries or accidents, understood?
Ingo	Yes! Thank you!
Emmet	Awesome, Ingo!
Lear	That being said, you're not cleared to begin construction just yet. There's someone else you need to talk to first. His name is...

Excavation Negotiations

Name	Text
(Cave)
Emmet	We need to speak to Clay, the Gym Leader of Driftveil City.
Ingo	Yes! Apparently, he got permission before we did to begin excavating that mountain! Clay is not just a Gym Leader. He is also a successful businessman. He might be a tough negotiator!
Emmet	Lear said we might have to talk to some other people, too. Folks who "like to get their hands dirty." I wonder what he meant by that.
???	Oh-ho! Well, look what we got here!
(Clay appears)
Clay	So y'all came to Pasio, too, huh?
Ingo	It's nice to see you, Clay! It certainly was a surprise to find that our train took us all the way to Pasio...
Emmet	But now we're here! And we want to make battles even more exciting! So, we came to ask a favor of you!
Ingo and Emmet explained the situation to Clay.
Clay	Is that right? Sounds mighty interestin', if ya ask me.
Ingo	Wonderful! So—
Clay	But I can't say yes just yet. Our group got permission first, and though I wouldn't mind lettin' you boys take over... There's a proper procedure to gettin' things done, and I'm set on finishin' this job before I pass this site off to anyone else.
Ingo	I...I see...
Emmet	In that case, why don't I lend you a hand? I can help you complete your job first!
Ingo	Emmet? Are you sure?!
Clay	Oho! Now there's an idea!
Emmet	I want to make Ingo's idea a reality! Please, let me do this!
Ingo	Emmet... I won't let you do that all by yourself! I'll help you, too, Clay! Excadrill and I will definitely fit your needs!
Clay	Heh. Well, that's a mighty fine Excadrill ya got there. If y'all insist on helpin', I certainly don't mind...but let's ask the others. Hey! Could y'all come out here?
(Roark and Steven appear)
Roark	What's up, Clay?
Steven	Hm? Oh, it's you two!
Emmet	Wow! The Champion of Hoenn and a Sinnoh Gym Leader! Ah, so this is what Lear meant by folks who like to get their hands dirty...
Clay	These fellers are the ones who're actually leadin' this project. I'm just helpin' 'em out. This island's an artificial construct, see. Land's made up of dirt, sand, and rocks from all sorts of places. To them, it's a pile of treasure just waitin' to be dug up! Steven, Roark... I got a proposition for ya.
(Fade to black, then back)
Steven	How interesting! I love that idea, so I don't mind if you two want to do that kind of construction here! What about you, Roark?
Roark	I agree! But...if you find any interesting fossils or stones while you're working here, would you mind letting us have them?
Ingo	Of course! We would be delighted to do so! You have our word!
Clay	Well, if the leaders are on board, there's nothin' stoppin' you from startin' yer project! Don't worry about us! Go ahead and start excavatin'!
Ingo	Thank you very much, everyone! Next stop, the summit! All aboard!

The Minecart Subway

Name	Text
Emmet	Excadrill will start drilling through the rocks! And Archeops will help carry the debris! I just love to see combinations of Pokémon working together!
Ingo	Yes! I agree, Emmet! Once this project is complete, we'll be able to see even more wonderful combinations!
Emmet	I'm looking forward to it!
A few days later... With the tracks completed, sync pairs flocked in droves to the newly opened battle area! The sync pairs followed the tracks down into the underground tunnel... and battled their way deeper into the mountain, while minecarts occasionally brought items for the sync pairs to use. The Subway Bosses stood ready in the depths of the tunnel, awaiting any challengers who could battle their way to them!
Nate	You can do it, Braviary! We won't lose in a battle of speed!
Ingo	Don't forget—Emmet is not your only opponent!
Emmet	Check for safety. Everything's ready!
(Nate's Braviary faints)
Nate	What?!
Ingo	Prepare yourself, Hilda!
Hilda	Uh-oh!
(Hilda's Emboar faints)
Hilda	Aww... They got us good...
Nate	I should've remembered how strong these Subway Bosses are! Sorry, Hilda! Guess I have to get better, huh...
Hilda	What are you apologizing for? We're a team, aren't we? We both did our best! Let's keep on training and give it another try next time!
Ingo	Bravo! Exactly! Your battle wasn't bad at all. However, we seem to have done slightly better than you. We'd really like to battle with you again! Please ride with us again!
(Hilda and Nate leave)
Ingo	Bravo! Just as we thought, there are many excellent Trainers here on Pasio! We don't have any time to rest!
Emmet	Everyone is battling seriously and having fun! That's why I can't stop! Ingo, I'm so glad we were able to bring your idea to life!
Ingo	Oh, look! More passengers have arrived to battle!
(Cynthia appears)
Cynthia	Hello, Subway Bosses. It was quite the challenge to get all the way here.
Ingo	Well, if it isn't Cynthia! We heard rumors that you visited the Unova region! We've been waiting for you to ride with us ever since!
Cynthia	Sorry, I didn't get a chance to see Nimbasa City while I was in Unova... But I'm glad I'm here today to make up for it! I'm going to give this battle my all... with Wally as my teammate!
(Wally appears)
Wally	H-hello, everyone! It's nice to meet you! I trained in Hoenn to take on the world. Please have a look at my results!
Cynthia	Now then... I, Cynthia, challenge you! There won't be any letup from me!
Ingo	Of course! Let's have the greatest battle—better than ever before! Now, Emmet, if you have something to add, please!
Emmet	What I do. What I say. Always the same. Follow the rules. Safe driving! Follow the schedules. Everyone smile! Check safety. Everything's ready! Aim for victory! All aboard!

Hop on Board!

Name	Text
(Mountain)
Ingo	<player>! You made it!
Emmet	I suppose that means you're going to challenge us, aren't you?
Ingo	Bravo! We've been waiting for you to do just that! Here, we don't follow the standard Pasio battle rules of three-on-three... Instead, we will take you on as a two-car train! Grab a friend and hop on board!
Emmet	We'll be waiting for you at the end of these tracks! This time, I'm really serious. Really serious. Because if a battle isn't serious, it isn't fun. I'm looking forward to a serious battle with you, <player>!

End of the Tracks?

Name	Text
(Cave)
Ingo	Bravo! Really excellent! The best combination of you and your Pokémon... No, your entire team! It was incredible!
Emmet	I am Emmet. I lost together with Ingo. But I feel good. And I think the best team won. Your combination is the best. Perfect! You'll keep getting stronger! The strength you have, your trust in your Pokémon and your team, their never-ending support! You want to win, and I don't want to lose. Those feelings are real. When we clash in battles, I feel very excited! Yep! It was so much fun!
Ingo	Winning against us is a milestone in your life. You, <player>, can rack up more and more wins. When you and someone else combine... your engine powers something special! Please move on to an even greater goal!
Emmet	If we fight again, we won't know what to expect. That's why we're waiting for you to come back!
