2nd Truth | Video

[Oh hey, it's that kid again! He looks like he's bouncing something on his head. Turns out it's a soccer ball.] What do you do if you don't want to do the gym challenge? I'm curious! Not saying I don't want to, I just want to see what people who don't do it end up doing

[Always private because that's the only way they can ever talk.]

Don't you think you're being a bit too childish? Your grin looked a bit too forced.

[private video foreverrrr]

[Conan's expression goes from childishly bright to flat in half a second.] It seems to be working on Toyama. [And right now she's his most immediate concern- if Shiho is sure enough about the Organization not being here...]

[private video ftw~]

[madegrowth]

Well, she's used to this. I still think you should tone it down a bit.

What city are you in?

[usedlowkick]

We're in Cherrygrove now. Where are you?

[welp. gotta show this guy his face one day, though Kaito actually looks fairly busy with something off-screen somewhere as he talks]

Dunno. There are plenty of people who don't take the gym challenge.

[Wait a minute, he knows this guy's face...] Hey, you're the niichan that looks like Shinichi-niichan! I remember you!

[INNOCENT BLINKING]

You mean you remember the last time you were stuck in Johto? [since it's the only time he can think he met with Conan as Kaito]

[video]

[usedlowkick]

Nope! I don't remember the last time I was here at all. Ran-neechan and I saw you one day, and she thought you were Shinichi-niichan at first!

[Ew, a kid.] Nothing. Only some people take on the stupid gyms.

[oh yeah, one more thing before he finishes his statement:] doesn't matter what a dumb-looking kid like you would name your pokémon. You'd probably end up giving it some impossible-to-pronounce name or something just as shitty as that.

[video]

[usedlowkick]

[Conan's hand is going to his Absol; she's clearly bristling and snarling at the Gear, showing more than a hint of fang.] As dumb as you sound, oniichan? You must be really brave and smart, picking on someone who's probably a quarter of your age. [You can just hear the sarcasm.]

I bet your friends think you're super cool. Is it a pastime, picking on people you don't know?

[And abruptly the child act just completely drops.] Or maybe you just can't beat the gyms, so you go looking for innocent little kids to pick on to make you feel better about it. Well, what is it, mis-ter? [His last question is in a childish tone, his expression anything but.]

[video]

[piccolo_tomate]

[Oh, the little brat really has an annoying mouth... Romano doesn't like the look Absol is giving him, but he does his best to ignore that really creepy snarling. He might not know what onii-chan means, but that sarcasm is palpable.] As if your age even matters in such a thing! Don't be a damn baby, stupid. If anyone is dumb here, it has to be you!

And another thing: just because I don't know you, it barely exempts you from being ridiculed! If you ask such a backward question with such an annoying smile on your face don't expect anything less than the truth!

[Once that act drops, Romano puts up his guard and reinforces it with steel plates.] My pokémon don't have to beat gym leaders to show how powerful they already are! With the pokémon you have, you couldn't even beat the weakest level trainers.

That is great, Conan-kun.

[ Kazuha actually didn't want to take on gyms either. So she was glad to be a breeder. ]

Hnmm... I never really thought about it. But I am interested in being a breeder instead of fighting gym battles.

video

[usedlowkick]

Hey, Kazuha-neechan, what does a breeder do? I'm not so sure about doing the gym battle thing. I mean, I'm just a little kid after all...

video

[knowsaikido]

To be honest, Conan... I am still learning too.

[ For a moment, she paused when he said little kid. It was weird... but she always felt like he was a 'special' little kid. ]

I am told that we take care of the Pokemon's diet and take care of their babies...

video

[usedlowkick]

Sounds like it's a lot of hard work. [Conan's looking at his Absol for a minute.] Hey, maybe I should ask my pokemon what they think!

video

[islandshore]

Personally, I think everyone should do it. Why? Because it makes traveling a lot easier when you can fly around on your Pokémon.

video

[usedlowkick]

That makes sense! I think my Absol wants to do it anyway. [That gets furious head-bobbing from the Absol.]
