022; [video/action for Goldenrod]

[keychained]

[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.]

Hello, Sora!

[...Oh god, what are they doing?

'sup, Sora and Pokémon! There is a rather befuddled Riolu riding on a Skarmory and watching with a mix of confusion and amusement.

So she'll yip.

The yipping, of course, gets Riku's attention, and he winds up following his two Pokémon and, in turn, spotting Sora.]

Now what are you up to?

_{[... oh GOD Heather needed that laugh. Seriously. Oh god.]}

Oh man, Sora... his namesake would be proud. He'd be PROUD, man.

_{[Actually, more like horrified to see his likeness on a tadpole, but STILL.]}

You gotta keep me updated on his progress, man!

[ Kairi isn't holding Thal this time - perhaps because he's hovering over her head - but Princess and Togetic are both going to stop and stare for a minute before Thal swoops in to investigate and chirrs rather curiously at Douglas. ]

... What are you doing now?

[He knows that pokémon, but he didn't know there were more than one sort. And as far as he knew, Poliwags were Davids.

But Virgilio the Corsola cares not for formalities and the like. He rushes forward and chirps as loudly as it can in greeting. Romano is right behind.]

[Oh look it's Sora. Oh look, it's some of his poekees. Is that spiralthing wearing a fake beard? Uh....

Approaching with caution.]

What's...up Kiddo?
