Twenty-fifth Steal || Video/Action

[yattagarasu]

[IT IS A FINE DAY IN JOHTO, but then again, when is it never a nice day? Not counting deadly floods or nightmare-inducing Pokemon or pixelated terrors, of course. It seems like a good day for Keith, the rookie officer of Goldenrod, to take a stroll down Route 34

[... honestly not sure if he should be more horrified by the fact that there's a creature that looks just like his REAL partner in one of the Kays' arms, or the fact that he just had to just the term "one of the Kays".]

... E... Excuse me! Can one of you pinch me? I think I'm dreaming.

[action]

[overthedratini]

[Part of him is telling them ONE OF THEM IS A CLONE TOKEN but then again, by now he knows duel things don't work here.

... But then again Ruby Carbuncle is right there in Kay's arms-- one of Kay's arms-- This is is so confusing.

..........

There is only one thing to do. And so, Johan steps closer to... the Wooper.]

Heyyyyyy, Flapper, can you tell me what's going on?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Aaaaaw, that's no fun. [to Flapper] Keep it a secret for now, okay?

[action]

[yattagarasu]

[ the Wooper nods cheerfully, and Kay grins. ]

Sorry, Johan, she won't cheat on us.

[action]

[overthedratini]

Hmmmm... [frowning] So I have to figure it out myself? [sadly, he wasn't here for the magician line, or he might have a better idea. ... still, he's a duelist at heart, so...]

Okay then! I accept your challenge!

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

That's the spirit! [leaning against Kay with a grin]

[action]

[yattagarasu]

Give it your best shot!

[action]

[overthedratini]

I think I will!

So first... [sobers for just a little moment-- this is something ONE of you, the real you anyway, should understand a LOT - though the impostor will probably have seen it too.] How did you two get Ruby?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[Kaito definitely noticed the sobering, though he might not understand it as deeply as Kay would. His gaze flickered from Johan to the Espeon, and back again]

Rub-- [... hey wait, come to think of it, he knew that card, didn't he?] It's Prise.

[action]

[yattagarasu]

[ Kay notices this, but only raises an eyebrow and shifts her armful. ] That's... one of your cards, right? Prise is an Espeon, though. And Kei's an Umbreon.

[action]

[overthedratini]

Espeon...? [frowning and... shaking his head-- then leaning closer to the Espeon.] You do look a... little bit different...

[not sure if he wants this to be true though :|a]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Yeah. They both evolved, see?

[reaching out to pat Prise on the head a bit and giving Johan an understanding look. It must be trippy to see a Pokemon that resembles one ofh is Duel Monsters so much]

[action]

[yattagarasu]

On the same day, too! [ Prise trills a little, butting his head against Kaito's hand, and Kay adjusts him once again, deliberately keeping her tone light; she doesn't want Johan dwelling on things and getting depressed. ] They got a lot heavier, though.

[action]

[overthedratini]

Wow... That's impressive! [looking at the two former Eevees curiously, still pondering... but eventually deciding that the double Kay matter is more pressing, for the moment at least.]

... So why do you two have Kaito's Eevee?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[He pats Prise for a while, before reaching out to scratch Kei's ears as well]

Prise and Kei are brothers, right? [and there is the... other obvious answer, but he's not giving that up just yet]

[action]

[yattagarasu]

And brothers stick together.
