[It took a lot of effort, but Shark was finally, finally able to get away from the obnoxious white thing. He had to rebuff the uncountable requests to play by actually physically shoving his hand in Culumon's face and he was able to escape from the Terminal Room without having to play.
But he couldn't do anything about the Digimon that insisted on following him around everywhere. Gotsumon was persistent, like certain people he knew. And no matter what he did, he couldn't shake her (it had taken an hour for her just to get him to stop calling her an "it"). Finally, he resigned himself to accepting and acknowledging her presence.
Shark didn't want to go to the apartments yet. Actually, he intended to put it off as long as possible. So instead, he was going to familiarize himself with the city. Eventually, he finds himself at the marketplace, seated on a picnic table across from Gotsumon.
There's something about Terminal Tokyo that reminds him of Heartland City a little. Perhaps it's because Heartland is a high tech place. Or maybe it's just the general atmosphere, who knows? But any thoughts he has are interrupted by Gotsumon who crosses her arms at him and speaks.]
Familiarize yourself with this place quickly, Ryoga. I won't have a weakling as a partner.
[Shark allows himself to smirk. Slightly.]
Same to you. Don't you dare hold me back. So, tell me, Gotsumon, can Digimon play Duel Monsters?
You mean that silly deck of cards you carry around? Never even heard of it.
I refuse to have a partner who can't duel. Now be quiet and listen.
Ryo- [Gotsumon cuts herself off because...well, she is kind of curious. And the two of them start a conversation on the basics of Duel Monsters as Shark pulls out his deck and starts showing her individual cards.]
city | i see what you did there
