022; [video/action for Goldenrod]

[closed captioning and consideration for this video feed is brought to you by a certain camera-Teddy-- though really, Teddy is more providing commentary than he is relaying the conversation, chirping in whenever he sees fit. a studio audience, if you will. Sora is right outside the pokécenter in Goldenrod, crouched down on one knee so that he's face-to-face with a Poliwag. a Poliwag who's standing up straight and proudly bearing a fedora atop his head. ... and a paper beard across his face.]

[it gets better.]

Y'know, you're getting really good at solving mysteries, Douglas! But this one's gonna stump you for weeks, promise. You'll be so stumped you won't even know what hit you. [a squeak from Teddy, which sounds an awful lot like an "ooooh." "OH NO TRAINER DIDN'T."]

I call it "The Case of the Missing Bow Tie." Or, the case Puddles would be really mad at me if he knew about... Because someone's stolen his bow tie! ["OH THE HORROR, NOT THE BOW TIE! Hey Trainer, I'm totally going to tell Puddles on you."]

Luckily, though, I've managed to scrape together a clue that may help us find the perpetrator. I need for you to find me a treasure chest that doesn't have any kind of lid or keyhole on it. Think you can do that?

[Teddiursa makes a noise that sort of implies that he thinks Trainer is crazy-- what would you do with a treasure chest that you can't open?-- but Douglas stands on his tippy toes and squeaks in determination! he can do this, Trainer! he has a namesake to live up to!]

[that said, if one's wandering about Goldenrod, he or she may bump into Sora as he follows his sleuthing Poliwag around town, along with a teddy bear gleefully taping the whole thing.]

Maybe they could solve mysteries together one day! The Douglas and Douglas Detective Agency...

[.... As Heather's brain slowly pieces together the magnificence that is that mental image, a crooked smirk spreads across her face before she just bursts into snickering.]

Oh man... I can see it SO clearly...

[once he evolves into a Poliwhirl he can punch all those deadbeat boyfriends while the real Douglas does the mystery solving... and Heather does the paperwork. right? Sora, meanwhile, has the most innocent of mental images: Douglas and Douglas catching the bad guy, then going to celebrate with dinner! and he and Heather are invited.]

Me too! I just have to train Douglas to be a better detective even more now.

[.... YEAH PRETTY MUCH. Dammit Douglas, not even letting Heather carry a pistol.]

[That said, having dinner with Sora, Douglas, and Douglas wouldn't be so bad.]


You can do it!
