KANTO
"...Again, thanks for giving me the chance to do this. Being Champion really have its perks, doesn't it?"
"Anything to make your dreams come true, 'Toko."
"You're such a sweetie, 'Toru! Hey, speaking of dreams, any update on 'To- hold on, is that him behind you?!"
The boy shifted his body to try and discreetly see if what the girl said was true. He stayed silent for a few seconds before addressing her again. "Can I call you back? I'm gonna speak with him."
"I'm definitely ready to take on the next Gym!" Satoshi mentioned to his companions. "My Pokémon and I are-"
"'Toshi-kun?"
The trio turned around at the voice that, while remnisciant of Satoshi's, had a soft-spoken quality to it. Near the videophones was a boy who had an uncanny resemblance to Satoshi from far away; even their clothes were similar, with the major difference being their color. Next to him was a Lizardon that exuded a powerful aura of strength, yet was just as calm as the boy beside him. And on the Lizardon's head was another Pikachu, staring aimlessly at the ceiling.
Satoshi's eyes widen, as did Naru. "'Toru-kun?! Is...Is that really you?!"
"'Toru-kun... As in Kanto's Champion, Satoru?!" Takeshi looked at Satoshi before looking back at the stranger. "I thought you looked familiar, Satoshi! But, you said you were an only child, right?"
"Yeah, I am. Satoru and his twin Satoko are my double cousins, though, since our dads are siblings and our moms are twins."
"It's... not a very common event," Satoru explained as he and the Lizardon approached the trio. "Even for the Kawaguchi, mind." A soft smile appeared on the Champion's face, the Lizardon doing a double take upon seeing it. "It's good to see you again, 'Toshi-kun."
"The same here, but..." Satoshi frowned. "What are you doing here? Champion business?"
Satoru shook his head. "Just passing by," he mentioned, taking a quick glance over at the Pikachu on Lizardon. "I know you've met Ignatius at my celebration of becoming Champion, but I can't remember if you've met Thora."
“Wait, Thora?!” Naru scrambled onto the top of Satoshi's head. “Hey, sis!” he called out to his fellow Pikachu. “It's me, Naru!”
“...Naru?” Thora looked towards him, then crawled to Ignatius' shoulder to be near Naru's level. “Naru, you're...” She launches herself towards her brother, almost knocking Satoshi down as two Pikachu were now on his head, hugging each other with Thora sobbing her eyes out.
"Easy, Thora!" Satoru winced at his cousin's predicament. "Sorry, 'Toshi, I've never seen her this excited before."
JOHTO
“Hey, Naru!” A familiar Pikachu waved as the group entered the house. “Nice seeing you here!”
“Wha-Thora?!” Naru bolted towards his sister. “Satoru's here, too?”
"Oh, not just him," another familiar girl noted as she came out of the room next door. "Nice seeing you guys again!"
"Talk about a family reunion," Satoshi noted as he removed his sneakers. "How long were you and 'Toru-kun here, 'Toko-kun?"
"I've been here for a week now," Satoko answered, "and 'Toru's been here for two days." She smirked at her cousin. "You've got good timing, catching both of us here at Enju."
