[03] Route 36 [Video]/Violet City [Action]

[The Gear clicks on to a low-angle - from about a half foot off the ground; not visible to the camera is Yuki, the Smoochum, who's figured out how to work the gear.]

[Clearly, Heiji needed a surrogate for his mother's attempts at recording his entire life.]

[Momo is curled on his shoulder, happily munching on a walnut, while Bas is curled up at

Hoooly shit.

It's like somebody combined a dragonfly with a jet.

[Video]

[k9tantei]

Yep! [He's still grinning like an idiot.] An' Johto just got a Hell of a lot smaller, just in time!

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Huh? Just in time for what?

[Video] AND OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT WITH HEATHER IN 3...2....1....

[k9tantei]

Th'Kid heist!

[Actually you know that grinning like an idiot MIIIGHT have a touch of what would be plotting on anyone else...]

Th'last one I was at, I got put outta the chase by a van, an' I'm not gonna let'im get away so easy this time!

[bakaitoukid]

[... oho. He already has a feeling he knows why he's picking up for Goldenrod, but-- playing dumb!]

Goldenrod already?

[video]

[k9tantei]

Yep! [Oh come on, after that text conversation, you think he'd let ANYTHING stop him? THE GAUNTLET HAS BEEN THROWN.]

Got business there in a few days. [And you know this makes it so much easier than taking it at a DEAD SPRINT.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[PERHAPS HIS HEIST WILL BE INTERESTING AFTER ALL]

What kind of business?

[video]

[k9tantei]

Detective business. [Oh yes, he's far too happy about this.]

I'm sure y've got a good guess, hangin' around Inspector Nakamori's daughter an'all.

[greatbigrock]

[Dot dot dot. You know what, Tulio was really happy that his enormous mutant dragonfly hadn't thought of that, but given that aforementioned Yanmega is hovering behind him having seen the whole thing? ... yep, Bicho's got new ideas.]

Whoa whoa whoa- I didn't know they could do that. [Very baffled.]

[video]

[k9tantei]

Neither did I - but if she can do it, may's well make th'most of it, right? [PLANS. HE HAS THEM. ...You're probably just doomed.]

[video]

[greatbigrock]

What, make a huge bug your own personal set of wings-?

[Somewhat cut short cause heeey that isn't actually a bad idea.]

[video]

[k9tantei]

Exactly! Just need t'jury rig somethin' so it's not as awkward, but somethin' like a hang-glider harness should work...

An' as long as th'pokémon's pretty well behaved - [Not like Kaguya's of the only two such he really owns or anything...]

Action!

[superboobies]

Hey! You have one of those things too, now?!

That's so cool!!

Action!

[k9tantei]

[Somehow, part of him is still debating if you are amazing or terrifying.] Ahahah!

Yeah, looks that way - guessin' it's normal for'em t'suddenly ... get bigger like that?

permaction

[superboobies]

I guess it is! They talk about pokemon evolution, so I guess this must be it! This is probably what happens when a pokemon evolves. They get uglier, but they get even stronger!

[ She's cheerful as ice cream and sunny days ] I mean look at their improvement!! Sonic Boom, Mayuri~. On that tree over there!

[ Yanmega makes a high-pitched whirring sound before careening towards the tree. With the force of it stopping after being tossed at a high speed, a shockwave emits before bisecting a tree.

I've been working hard with it! How're your pokemon doing?

permaction

[k9tantei]

[....Yep, he's going to go with "terrifying".]

[He glances over to Kaguya...] C'n you do that yet?

[It's met with a short headshake from the Yanmega.]

They're doin' pretty good! Looks like you're still pretty far 'head of me, thou - Kaguya here, just settled down from bein' scared of'er own shadow, so she's not gonna hold a candle t'Mayuri yet. [He laughs sheepishly, gesturing to Baskerville the Houndour, and the Smoochum he's retrieved the Gear from.] These two're the strongest I've got.
