Sakaki *crashes Acerola’s picture books on the table*: SO, ABOUT KAGAYAKI-SAMA...
Kuchinashi: I’m illiterate.
“Ula-Ula Police Station.” “It's been a while.” “Sakaki!” “I felt like hearing a voice from long ago. Even so, you are an Island King and a policeman.”
[thingsthingsthings]
“What is the Radiant/Blinding One?” (-> lit. [Kagayaki-sama], SO IT'S ULTRA NECROZMA) “The Blinding One...? Eh, don't know.” (-> lying old man is lying and not even trying to hide it) “Hahah, I thought you'd say that.”
(There were some other things, didn't understand them clearly, but anyway *SCREAMS* SAKAKI IS OUT FOR ULTRA NECROZMA........) (And also: laughing forever about Kuchinashi just... 1°) letting the phone ring in the Obvious Hope that whoever calling would just give up / that the phone would magically stop ringing, 2°) hanging up like this pfTTTT)
Sakaki: Island King Kuchinashi is an old acquaintance.
Kuchinashi: Sakaki? Then you guys are Team Rocket, huh.
OKAY BUT WHAT THE HELL
Game!Nanu: Tragic Backstory when working for the International Police involves an expedition partner getting killed by an UB right in front of him.
Anime!Nanu: Tragic Backstory when working for the International Police involves thinking he had found the PERFECT cats-loving man, only to discover that he was the Rocket boss.
Also received theeeeese from @perelka-l a few weeks ago and
1°) DUDE, YOUR WASHI TAPE GAME IS WAY TOO STRONG... I want Manon’s clothes aaaaaaaaah ;w;
2°) ... I’m still in awe at that calves game, Gio, gnnn. (also: butt.) (also: Kuchinashi’s life) (the taunting!!! Kuchinashi’s whole face being. tired.)
3°) I remember SQUEALING out loud at the weed kids being adorable ;w; And the caaaaaats pffft (I love the clothes you give Kuchinashi... they look comfy and “old man getting cosy and ready to nap any time”? :D)
4°) ???? THAT’S???? SO COOL??? Alan being relaxed!! Hari-san’s little bubble!!! Manon having fun!!! Daigo getting HAPPINESS - and the looming threat at the bottom... :D They’re all so cute!!!
Thank you so muuuuch!! <333
- I had considered it jokingly but then. Mossst probably not that, but HEY, IT'S SPECULATION TIME, SO THE GAME IS ON: how fun would it be if Kuchinashi and Sakaki were to know each other because, back when Kuchinashi was working for Interpol, he either made her flee, either arrested... Sakaki's mom (-> ~the Woman Boss~ that was running Team Rocket until... somewhere between 18y ago and present-time, iirc the drama CD's canon). (You think you dismantled TR but it's a family business and her "brat boy" was really happy to take the seat that was left empty, uh.) (Also consider: Sakaki helping Interpol to get rid of his mom? I really got the vibe that they weren't getting along that well, except for Sakaki finding her... "very... very beautiful... ANYWAY-" (<- actual line from the drama CD), so...)
- Acerola is knowledgeable about Kagayaki-sama's lore and is precious to Kuchinashi so :/// I don't like the idea of kidnapping a girl-
But Sakaki could consider that.
AND REGRET THE HECK OUT OF IT.
tfw there is the GHOST of a Mimikkyu judging you all day long, following you, piercing through your body and glaring glaring glaring, and you can do nothing about it.
And it's nothing compared to the Giant Gengar that begins to do the same. And to send you nightmares.
And then THINGS just keep disappearing around him??? and end up in Acerola's hands. Somehow.
Including Persian's monster ball, and she has the kitty crawling for more petting because good old uncle Kuchinashi showed Acerola all the precious sweet spots.
Acerola who is just everywhere she shouldn't be. (Turns out that of course, Kuchinashi taught her how to pick locks from a young age, like any respectable officer would do. And she specialized into stealing stuff from him as soon as she turned 5. He was so proud.)
So it's almost a relief when Kuchinashi turns up at Sakaki’s door, but he's not even worried and just "Sup', I'm here to pick up my kid, the other brats want her to read them a story" "..." "And also she stole my kendama again. Did you have fun, sunshine?" "YEP!" "Good. Warn me next time you want to play with a criminal organization." "Byebye, I'll visit again!" (This is why Sakaki hates kids.)

Partie manquante :-余計なお世話だ。 -だが クチナシ 納得したよ。「かがやきさま」とは なんだ?-Mêle-toi de tes affaires. -Mais, Kuchinashi… Tu as compris. Ce qu'est Kagayaki-sama…(Traduction très rapide parce que techniquement je n'ai pas le temps de venir sur Tumblr aujourd'hui ha ha TT mais comment suis-je censée me concentrer après un épisode pareeeeil alors je n'ai pas résisté à la perche tendue par cette traduction incomplète même si les fansubs arriveront demain orz…)
Han, MERCI !!! J’arrive toujours pas à croire que Sakaki l’a appelé, que Kuchinashi le reconnaisse à la voix, et que SAKAKI S’ATTENDAIT À CE QUE POTENTIELLEMENT KUCHINASHI LUI DISE DES TRUCS SUR [KAGAYAKI-SAMA]... (et le connaissait assez pour savoir que Kuchinashi pourrait l’envoyer bouler mais. Il a essayé. y’avait une chance. Putain quoi !!! :D)
(Et pareil, ahahaha, je dois me reconcentrer sur un papier à rendre et être “!!!” aide à débloquer l’écriture mais pas la concentration ahaha)
(Next thing we know, Sakaki va se ramener à Alola sans se cacher, et Satoshi va lui rentrer dedans par accident alors qu’il faisait la course dans la rue avec ses ‘mon, va s’excuser par réflexe... et puis ensuite, La Réalisation quand leurs regards se croisent que, purée, oh non, pas lui x2)
