14 - video/action for Goldenrod;

[The Pokégear clicks on with a shot of Riku standing on the edge of Goldenrod City, close to Route 34. Behind him, his Riolu's tapping her foot and crossing her arms. She looks over at Riku with a groan.]

Rowf.

[Sighing, Riku turns his attention to his Riolu for a split second.]

Yeah, I know. Just give me a second, Ace.

[Turning his attention back to the camera, Riku's completely silent for a split second. Then, he brushes back some of his hair and starts speaking again.]

Alright. I should've said this ages ago, but for those who don't know yet, there's someone here who looks and sounds just like me. The thing is, he's not me-- at least, not exactly. He used to be made of data before he showed up here; I don't know the whole story yet, but no matter how you look at it, we're two different people.

Best way to tell us apart is by our clothes; he usually wears a black cloak. I don't. He's also got different Pokémon, if that helps.

[Somehow, he's doubting this'll make much sense, so he might as well cut it off.]

Anyway, sorry I didn't mention this sooner. Hopefully it'll clear things up.

[See? How hard was that? Ace smirks and heaves a sigh of relief. However, right as she prepares to approach her trainer, her whole body's enveloped by a strange glow as a familiar theme starts to play. Right away, Riku turns his attention to Ace, watching the spectacle unfold.

Seconds pass, and then the light fades, revealing a newly evolved Lucario. Suffice it to say, Riku looks thoroughly impressed by this point.]

So you finally evolved... Not too shabby.

[And Ace, also pleased by her new form, grins. After that, the feed ends.]

Riolu evolve? [Scott... literally had no idea. And he does have a Riolu with him -- a female one, watching while on his head.]

Guess so.

[And Ace gives an affirmative grunt.]

They probably evolve from happiness, kind of like Togepis.

That's... pretty cool! And it looks pretty cool, too!

[But... wait. Scott also had no idea about that second thing. Yeah, he's an idiot.]
...Pokemon evolve though happiness now?

[Oh, Scott. Riku shakes his head and shrugs.]

Last I checked. I know Eevees evolve into Espeon and Umbreon depending on their happiness and the time of day.

Woah... maybe I'll have to try that when I breed out MegaMan.
[AND THEN-- Sudden Vibrava in the feed, just... staring at the Lucario! Man, it looks awesome...!!]

It's worth a shot. I'm still waiting for mine to evolve, but she's kind of a grouch.

[Whoa, hi. There's a Pokémon Riku's never seen before. Now he's staring right back, and so's Ace.]

Congratulations, Ace! You look great!

[She does, doesn't she! All tough and awesome. Yeah, she's smiling; if she could talk, she'd thank Kairi, but at this point, all she can do is make grunts, kinda like Link from Zelda.

Ri'll step on over to his biffle. talk, and he'll step on over to his biffle.]

Caught me completely off guard, though. I wasn't expecting her to evolve.

That's right... she wasn't battling, was she? Kind of like Thal... [ what is knowing about happiness-induced evolution ]

That's right. I mean, we were going to train, but I figured I'd let everyone know about my double first.

He's a pretty interesting guy.

[ Strike has filched Leon's pokegear and is using to stare at Ace forever and ever with this expression:

( ﾟヮﾟ) -> ( ﾟДﾟ) -> ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)

Aka: OMGHOLYWTFBBQ DO WANT ]

[And Ace is peeering over Riku's shoulder by now, trying not to giggle.

...it's not working.]

You sure look excited.

[ Strike motions enthusiastically at Ace, little arms flailing. Am I going to look that cool, too?! ]

[P-pfff. She nods, trying not to laugh too much. Was she really that tiny?]

['Sup, Ace and Riku. You're getting a wide-eyed Riolu staring at the both of you through Lightning's gear. He knew he was getting bigger, but this....THIS IS AMAZING!

And note that he now looks like a kid on his birthday getting the best gifts ever. If that's what he's turning into, it better be soon!]

[Don't worry, kid! Someday, you will be a glorious Lucario!

Ace gives a light shrug, while Riku shakes his head.]

If Ace evolved, I'm sure you're not too far behind.

[See, he's not too sure about that because he hatched a week late and he's not growing much anymore and---his ears just droop a little for a moment before he's back to his cheerful yipping self. He will get that big and strong, and it will be soon!

Yeeep. Not much keeps this puppy down.]

[That's the spirit! Here, Ace'll even give the little guy the closest thing to a thumbs-up she can manage with those paws of hers.]

[And Sen'll just yip again. He's got more to say, but---whoops, there's Lightning picking up the gear with a look at Sen before she looks and sees what's on the feed.]

Yours evolved?

[Oh, hello. Ace is just gonna step back now and let her trainer talk.]

Just a few minutes ago. Can't say I expected it.

I don't think anyone really does. Not if they don't evolve when they reach a certain point, anyway.

Riolus probably evolve from happiness instead of level. Ace was almost level 30 by the time she evolved.

[A glance off screen, most likely at Sen, before there's a cheerful yip from the Riolu.] If that's the case, it won't be long now before he's evolving.

I can tell. Looks like you take good care of him.

[And, like a jack-in-the-box, Sen pops up and yips on feed in agreement to what Riku has just said. This causes Lightning to ruffle his ears, and if he was a cat, the Riolu would be purring.]

I hope I am. Though he hasn't been complaining, at least.

Then it'll happen sooner or later. Can't say when, but it can't be too far.

oh gosh, there's two of you!? Like double dose,twin-o-rama two of you!? That must be super neato! I mean, like, if there was another me, I'd ask her all sorts of things. Then we'd plan the most awesome party in the world!

[...Wow, Pinky. There are no words.

No words at all. Just a puzzled, befuddled look.

Okay, maybe there are a few words.]

A party, huh? Well, I don't think we'll take it that far.

[But there are always words. At least Pinkie always has words. Unfortunately for most.]

Why not!? You can never have too many parties! I thought about having a party when we arrived in Violet, but Rainbow Dash left before we got here, and it wouldn't be fair to have one without her.

Ooooh! But you'll absolutely have to come to one of my parties sometime! They're super super fun!

He doesn't strike me as a party person.

[He shrugs.]

But I'll keep that in mind.

[As if the Sissel/Yomiel thing wasn't enough, here was another double duo thing to watch out for...well, if there was actually something to watch out for rather than just clearing up confusion.]

Is your 'twin' just a look-alike or is he evil or something?

[Riku doesn't look too worried, at least. Instead, he shakes his head.]

Just a look-alike, as far as I know. Doesn't strike me as someone who'd do any real damage.

No one to be too concerned about, then. [That's good to know, at least.]

Nah. This is more of a heads-up, since I know it's probably thrown some people off.
