[Aoko was waiting for this. She was not about to let him get away. She had no confidence that she could catch him.

But she did want a few answers from him. Especially about what happened back home. it was all so......confusing to her. Just what was his goal? Why did he turn against Nightmare?

She had been running all over Goldenrod, trying to find him, and corner him. Aoko wasn't about to let him slip away, not when it was something important.

And at last, she found, slinking around in an alleyway. Aoko, determined as ever, ran in his direction, and stopped a ways behind him.]

Kid.

[bakaitoukid]

[He freezes for a moment, before slowly glancing over his shoulder at her. The one voice he had hoped not to hear... talking to her via text over the gear was one thing. Talking to her in person where she would be more likely to pick up on the similarities between Kaito and Kid was something else.

He turns to face her, pulling the brim of his hat down over his eyes to shield his expression]

Ah, Nakamori-chan! ♥ You decided to come after all.

[ahokonakamori]

[He gives him a long, hard, look. She can hardly believe what she's doing. Kid was standing right here in front of her.

And arresting him was the last thing on her mind. How many times had her father tried and failed to get him? And here she was, probably closer than he ever got to Kid.]

Of course I came. I.....I have to ask you a few questions.

[bakaitoukid]

[That was a little unexpected. He quirks an eyebrow at her in return]

Ask away, Miss! But I can't promise actual answers to them all.

[usedswitcheroo]

[Guess who wasn't fooled by the decoy?
Guess who followed you all the way here?
GUESS WHO DISGUISED HIMSELF AS ONE OF THE POLICE TRYING TO CATCH KAITOU KID?

Yeah, it's Daisuke. Being a phantom thief himself kinda helped with tracking him down and stuff, but dear god, the actual tracking was actually brutal.]

Do you really think so?

[bakaitoukid]

[-- aha~ Perhaps this wasn't over yet. Grinning, he glanced over his shoulder, pocketing the product of tonight's performance and spreading his arms wide]

Do you intend to prove me wrong?

[usedswitcheroo]

I think I can.

[Then Daisuke starts running at Kaitou Kid. He's not exactly the fastest, but he's pretty decent in speed in terms of human standards.]

[bakaitoukid]

[-- whoa, he's much faster than Kid anticipated. Still... he's a phantom thief as well, once who has a few more tricks up his sleeves than e first showcased. So quickly, as Daisuke runs toward him, he grabs the edge of his cape and sweeps it upward so it obscures his figure-- and as the cape falls, his form disappears.

Only to reappear behind Daisuke, almost as if he teleported]

Far too slow!

[foolishwren]

[Heather wasn't a mystery-solver or a crime-stopper-- but one little edge she had over all the other people trying to find the white-clad mastermind behind the theft was that she knew who he actually was. And as much as she jokingly pretended not to have faith in his abilities, she had a hunch that the REALLY OBVIOUS FLYING WHITE THING heading off in the other direction? Was probably not actually him.]

[So once the police head off in hot pursuit, she slips out of the accumulated crowd in front of the museum and heads off on the off-chance that she might run into him. WHICH SHE WILL...]

[But first...]

[Somewhere near the thief's feet, something rustles. A CHIP BAG. ... A ... WALKING CHIP BAG. ... Which is also croaking loudly.]

Krk krk krk [WHISTLE.] Kait-- ooooo.

[bakaitoukid]

[... whaaaaaat. Walking chip bag... saying his name?

Okay. He could play this off, couldn't he? No big deal. He was, after all, Kaitou Kid]

Not quite, my talking inanimate object friend. [He's not glancing at the chip bag, either. Instead, he's looking around for a person]

Kaitou Kid.

[foolishwren]

[Fortunately, the chip bag was a friend, and the alley seems deserted, at least for the moment.]

Ouw! [The bag replies cheerfully, scuttling over to his leg.]

[bakaitoukid]

[... glancing down at the bag again and blinking, stepping awaaaay from it. It may be a friend, but he doesn't know that]

What a curious little creature you are.

[k9tantei]

[Part of that chorus of barking? Wasn't a growlithe.]

[And as soon as he'd spotted Bas running in circles trying to get the Jennies to go for the stairs UP instead of OFF THAT WAY, Heiji ...hadn't bothered heading for the roof. Nope.]

[Instead, he'd headed for a larger window and whistled for Kaguya, and waited until after the decoy-he'd-heard-of-Kid-using-on-how-many-heists had headed off for the OTHER white shape in the air. The one actually USING the wind.]

[Yes, Kaito, that is a crazy detective using a Yanmega to chase the hang glider from the air.]

[bakaitoukid]

[He's still patting himself on the back for making it out as he drifts downward, but the buzzing sound of someone actually pursuing him gives his internal gloating pause. A few blinks, and he's glancing behind him... JUST in time to see Heiji in hot pursuit on the back of a Yanmega.

WELL THEN.

Normal thieves might have been troubled by a development like this one. Kaito? He just grinned and tilted his hang glider downward.

Catch me if you can, Tantei-san~]

[k9tantei]

[Pffft, dropping altitude wasn't going to throw Heiji off; they're not dropping to match Kid's altitude - they're dropping to just above it, Kaguya trying to pick up speed to catch up and take advantage of powered flight vs. a glider.]

[bakaitoukid]

[He watches him out of the corner of his eye as he glides, one hand fiddling with a pokeball at his belt. It would be a last resort, of course-- he didn't want to reveal to Heiji any of the Pokemon Kaitou Kid owned.

But it is an option, just in case. For now, Kid will be banking a hard right, once again in an attempt to see if he can lose track of his pursuer]

[biteisbigger]

[ and at that minute, there's a--

... TOGETIC DIVEBOMBING HIS HEAD. With a little squeak of panic from her trainer, who was chasing after her. ]

P-Piko, don't...!

[bakaitoukid]

[URK-- that Togetic almost takes off his hat, and he has to duck to avoid having his mask compromised.

... he knows that voice, though. But he can't say anything about it, since he has only spoken to her in person as 'Kaito,' not Kid]

You're-- Togetic is rather lively tonight.

[biteisbigger]

I-I'm sorry--! [ Piko is still shrieking like Togezilla until Ari barks authoritatively from the mouth of the alley and sends her zooming back to hover near Kisa. ]

[bakaitoukid]

[Straightening his hat and nodding]

It's quite all right. I'm sure we've all had our fair share of Pokemon difficulties.
