001 [Video]

[alive_through_luck]

[The video starts off easily enough. There's a child, who doesn't look to be no more than 8 or so, wearing a cassock and a black cap pulled down low. Puffs of steam rise into the air with every exhale, proving that it's cold out (never mind the few flakes of snow that appear and stick to his clothes). His cheeks are red, and he shivers before really focusing on the thing in his hands.]

I 'unno what's goin' on, but it's cold. It's wet. Someone thinks it's funny as hell to say they're my mom when I dun' even have one. And this furry orange...dog thing keeps talking.

[The view swings around to focus on the Growlithe lying on the ground next to the child. It just looks at him and wags its tail before giving a loud Growlithe! It's like it knows it's being recorded and is just cheesing it for the camera.]

See?! I know I don't know lots about dogs, but I know they're not suppose to talk.

[And there's the child again, frowning and all but glaring at the camera.]

Also, apparently it's my birthday. The thing said it was. I 'unno if it's right, but if it is, this is a horrible way to spend it!

[The child is just about to continue with his tirade before he is knocked over by his Pokemon partner. The video records the fall from the child's hand to the ground, and then suddenly shuts off.]

[Impmon's in a bad mood. Duo's in a bad mood. EVERYONE'S IN A BAD MOOD!

Duo just huffs at the other kid, and glares while the Growlithe just...continues to lie on his back.]

Yeah, well...I 'unno if this place is better or worse than a cell. [But it's definitely better than having your home blown up.] And what are you carrying? Is it food?

[...Yes, he in fact did ask if a Pokemon was food.]

[But if YOU'RE in a bad mood and HE'S in a bad mood then WHO'S FLYING THE PLANE?]

Wh- TAIYAKI IS NOT FOOD!

[Which in retrospect is a pretty poor choice of nickname if you wanted to avoid exactly this kind of confusion.]

[Regardless, Impmon takes half a step back, shifting his Magikarp away from Duo!]

He's my partner an' you're not gonna touch him, got it?!

[alive_through_luck]

...It sounds like food.

[Duo just shrugs while his Growlithe licks at his face. SURPRISE!]

Ack! No! Wadderyoudoin?!

[Nope. More Growlithe kisses because bad moods are no good and Growlithe wants to make it all go away. Looks like Duo's not getting fried Magikarp for dinner.]

1/2

[badabooms]

It does n-

[Impmon flushes red as he remembers that yeah, it really does.]

Well it's- that's just-

SHUT UP, OKAY?

[Truly an eloquent speaker, Impmon is.]

2/2

[badabooms]

[...and then Duo's Growlithe starts licking its trainer all over like the giant tiger-puppy it is.]

[It's a little hard to stay boiling mad, watching that.]

Heh. Better be careful, looks like your friend there might think you sound kinda like food too.

Re: 2/2

[alive_through_luck]

Ack! People are friends! Not food!

[Duo starts trying to push the Growlithe away, but it's just in vain. Soon, he just gives up and starts laughing.

No more anger. No more worrying about food, or lack thereof. Just laughing and being licked to death by an orange dog.]

Get 'im off me! Help!

Re: 2/2

[badabooms]

[And Impmon is just gonna laugh for a bit at Duo's continued misfortune. It's not being an asshole if Duo laughed first, right?]

What, me?

[Weighing the odds of his currently squishy, human self against a firebrea firebreathing tiger. Conclusion: not good.]

...Arright. You owe me for this though.

[He returns Taiyaki to the Pokèball before dropping into a highly inexpert stance, like he's about to be tackled by a linebacker. Or on overenthusiastic tigerpuppy.]

Hey, Fido! Over here! Come at me!

[alive_through_luck]

[The Growlithe offers a few more licks to Duo's hidden face before Impmon's voice catches its attention. It looks up and waits a second before giving a happy...well, bark. Its tail wags, and then it's running at Impmon full speed.

Hope you can catch a tigerdog, Impmon.]
