"Oh so that is where the digital disturbance coming from," a voice mused outloud. The same robot dino from before is standing right behind Blake, eyes squinting and body leaning forward to look more into the fluffball. Haruka is currently busy on the other side of the store, but it's seem that Keigo and this... dinosaur toy is looking at the new chosen curiously.
"Neat I guess," Papa commented. His voice lacked the 'mechanical tone' that he used before. If anything, his movement looked much more organic now, which suggests that he was... simply acting before. "...By the way, did you just got them? In that case I guess we can welcome you over to 'this side'. By that I mean, the chosen side of the Digimons."
....then he glanced back at Haruka who's currently talking with Keigo at length about a custom order.
"...Though, it doesn't seem that the little miss have been induced here yet... Hmmm, how should I go about this... I don't really wnat to suddenly pull the little miss over to our side... But either way, I guess a congratulations is in order, ey, lad? Congrats, you're not a chosen. That over there is your Digimon partner... well, the same as me, I'm also a Digimon. I'll answer any of the question you might have. but... before that, might want to sit down a bit because it's gonna be a looooooooong story."
Just in case, the toy dino gently kicked a slightly taller stool over to Blake for him to sit on.
"...Well then..where should I even begin? It's been like... what, six damn year? I'll be damned. That's so damn long."

Blake would have a surprised expression as his grin turned into a grimace, tensing up, before he turned around with his legs to see the "robo-dino". Ah, so it was all an act after all as he breathed a sigh of relief as he shifted the shoe box to his right side so, it wasn't behind him.
From what the "digimon" is talking about, they're in fact, not pokemon. Though, then again, maybe they could be a variant of Pokemon? Blake's thoughts would clear up as he listened to the digimon. The yellow blob inside the shoebox would twitch as the conversation would wake them up eventually.
As the "robo-dino" kicked over a slightly taller stool, Blake figured that the shoebox was uncomfortable for the blob to sleep in as he would pocket the green device and then grabbed the blob carefully with both hands, he would sit on the stool with the blob in his lap. While doing so, Blake would lean in a bit to hide the blob on his lap as best as possible.
As the "robo-dino" was done talking, Blake spoke. "You guys been around here for six years? I'm assuming that there's all kinds of Digi-Pokemons or whatever you said." He replied quietly.

"...Once again, we're not Pokemons, we are Digimons. You don't see Pokemons able to talk, except for that one cat with three braincells more than the humans don't you?" Papa retorted, slightly unamused. "...But yes, I guess you can think of it like that. Just think of it... kind of like that. Well, unlike Pokemons which evolutions are linear, we Digimons... are pretty much part of a huge tree that could evolve as we please, as long as it makes sense. From toy dino like me to a tyranomon, to a bigger one, then to a machine tyrano... it makes sense, it works. Pokemon only have three stages at max, right? We have seven. That one is the lowest of the stage. Baby I, or Fresh, some foreigners love to call it."
Has they been here for six years tho? "Naw, Digimon has been around since the conception of internet I guess. We're from other world which is like a shadow of this one, called Digital World. It's just I who have been around for like six years or so. Plus there are time difference between real world and Digital World too, so there's that. Time for you guys which are probably like... eighty years? Would be like hundreds for us. Closer to midway to thousand."
Hmmm, now what else... what else...?
"...Anyway, now that you're chosen, congrats. This Digimon here, you should raise them like how you raise a tamagotchi. Feed, care, follow their need... eventually they will grew up big enough to like, get a degree of independence, like I do from Kei. You don't need to take care of us as much. Probably just need to groom the fur or something. Think of having a friend but the friend is other species."
"....What else... do you have any other question?"

This is a lot to take in. The only thing that was clear was that they're not Pokemon so, that was something easy to grasp. Sort of. Then again, how they evolve and the fact they can talk, it was pretty easy to discern between a digimon and a pokemon now that it was explained to him.
The Digital World was already something that sounded exciting to go to though, Blake realized this all felt too good to be true. Having a "tamagotchi", as the digimon referred to it, to take care of, a plane of existence shadowed by this one, this felt more or less like a dream. Or was it? He was only going along with it since he figured this was some type of promotion of sorts though, now Blake is not so sure.
"Is this an obligation? Because I can see that this isn't some type of weird promotion or 'gotcha moment' or a dream. I mean, I'll take care of the blob I guess." Blake would say before taking out the green device from his pocket as he held it out infront of him to look at.
"However, now that it's obvious that this is all real, I guess the dangers are too?"
While he doesn't know exactly what dangers he would face, the supposed secrecy Blake would have to keep was a lot of pressure on top of putting on a "mask" infront of his family. In the back of his mind, he does wonder what a yellow blob would evolve to. A hulking behemoth? A sludge monster? The possibilites seem endless.

'Oh good, we have a realistic one in our midst," Papa commented. "You know this is very refreshing compared to times and times again that I have to reminds many new chosen that no, they're not THAT special, and being chosen also means that you will attract danger, either from people who wishes to do nefarious thing to you and your partner, or from Digimons... I understand that this might not be the life that you're looking for... but if I may make a request... please, at the very least, try to hold on until both of you has reached certain level of maturity and understanding. If the difference cannot be bridged, well, at that point you can quit. bUt give the small one a chance to voice their desires too."
Hmmm tho to call it an obligation... "How to say, obligation... mmm... I guess you can treat it as a new horizon of how you can life your live. Think of it as a... coming of age journey perhaps?"
Papa glanced at Keigo who's signing at him that his talk with Haruka is almost over.
"Hmmm, the young lady is almost done talking there too... I wonder if I can distract her somehow."

Blake would listen attentively to him. He was surprised that he had to deal with people that probably had egos the size of their huge balloon-shaped heads. When the dino explained about attracting danger to him and their digimon, he would nod. He wasn't foreign to it though it doesn't really mean he wants to put himself in that position. While he's the type of person to mind his own buisiness, that wasn't what his father taught him. He can already tell that conflicting morality may be what puts them in harms way.
The part about the request and the coming of age part was when Blake would fold his lips out of uncertainty before unfolding them. Back then, he thought when he got older, he'd already figure everything out though, now, he has yet to do so. Maybe this new responsibility could give him that solution? That and, the thought of "quitting" was something he'd rather not think about as he didn't want to leave this digimon to fend for themselves.
"Alright, alright. I'll give it a shot." before he patted his blob with his free hand. From Papa's perspective, you can see that the Relemon was listening as their mouth stretched out to what appeared to be a smile. Blake wasn't looking down or paying much attention.
When Papa was glancing at Keigo, Blake would quickly, and carefully, place the blob down on the floor as next to Papa as the Relemon turned themselves around to face their tamer.
Blake would quickly turn his head away from them and the dino as Blake would pocket the green device though he was struggling to jam it in his pocket before realizing that it was the same pocket where his phone was. "Oh for eff's sake." He would utter out, censoring his profanity. While, he could've used the shoebox next to him, his quiet panicking didn't really help. When Papa was talking about a distraction, the blob would speak without turning to face him, "No need." before they heard a "poof" sound which had Blake quickly turn his head back to Papa and...a shoebox?

"Fufu, that face told me that you felt it a little bit disagreeable," Papa commented. "I can understand, but even for young adult, this experience would be... different. It will truly felt as if a new horizon just opened." Hmn, looks like the small one is actually listening. "...I'd like to suggest you to read more about foxes legends in Japan. That little one usually evolves into those."
which is proven by the Relemon's ability to turn into a shoebox. The question is whether the fluffy tail going to show itself or not, considering apparently inexperienced shapeshifters will often forgot to also tuck in their tail. Anyway...
"Are you guys done? It sounded like you guys been speaking for so long... Papa-san sounds like an actual person doesn't he? He apparently got something like a personality coding in his CPU or something... It was something like a dwarf personality or something...' Haruka commnted.
As for her, she's seem to be done with her own shopping. She picked a new shoes as expected, a pair of boots in different colors, with special painting, faint and in gold, depicting fog in ukyo-e style on the pearl whie section of the main body.
"I'm going ahead and buy mine--ah." out of sudden, from her bag, a watch-like object fell. "Huh... I never had anything like that before... Kei-san, is this your ware?"
"No, never seen that one before."
"Huh, odd... eh well... this ain't yours either, right, Onii-san?" she asked to Blake just in case.

Blake would be looking with his eyes for a couple seconds before the shoebox next to Papa would sprout out a tail from the back of the shoebox, catching Blake's eye. It was likely that Haruka would see it though, while Haruka was asking if they were done, Blake would pick up the shoebox and insert into the shoebox that used to have held the green device and digimon. While the lid was still open, Blake would use it as a way to tuck his digimon's tail as best as he could before standing up from the stool.
"Yeah, this little guy is really immersive to talk to. Best A.I I've ever talked to!" Blake would say in a extremely cheery tone. In the back of his mind, he thought he was most likely busted though he did have a couple other excuses already thought out though he may not have to use those.
It did look like Haruka got some new things. However, when the watch-like object dropped, Blake thought the same thing as Haruka. A watch prototype maybe? When asked if it was his, he shook his head.
"Naw, I kinda figured it was yours. Did you go to a store prior to meeting up with me?"

"...Bah, it's not me who's little, it's you who's too tall," Papa retorted, harrumphing and walked back to his chair, pretending to be robot again.
"Huh, so it wasn't yours either? Well, if it's in my bag and I kept it zipped up, without actually any of my items missing, then... I guess it was meant to be mine?" Haruka asked to no one in particular. She looked at the device, which is... a blue watch with a rosy pink strap? The color combo is a bit... out of ordinary. She honestly preferred if the central piece is of different color, considering the red and blue kinda clashed... well not as deeply as yellow and blue would be but...
The painter girl immediately put it on her wrist, finding it oddly fitting.
"Huh, well, that fits... but...." operating the buttons doesn't seem to do anything. "...Hmmm, that's odd..." she took it off again and did not find any slots fo battery. "...Is this supposed to be charged instead? Hmmm... but the USB port doesn't look like anything I have seen before." she took out her phone charger and tried to insert it... it doesn't fit at all.
"What's the deal with this device I wonder? Anyway, I'm done here, so I'm going ahead!"
Just as fast as she appeared, the red haired girl quickly vansihed.

"Huh..." Blake would say, internally breathing a sigh of relief that she didn't notice a single thing. It was pretty weird that a watch that seemingly came out of nowhere would fit as well as it did. "At least it fits. Lucky watch, I guess?" He would joke. Whether she accidently took it or not, it wasn't really much of his concern.
It didn't really look like the type of phone to be charged though at a glance, it could've been anything. Before he could take a closer look, Haruka would say her goodbye as Blake would wave to her as soon as she vanished. "Nice meeting you!" He would raise his voice, hopefully enough for her to hear before he turned back to Keigo, wondering if he should say anything or not. On the other hand, slipping away after her may be too suspicious.
"Well, it looks like I'll be going as well. I have to...figure some stuff out." He said to him, his tone sounding unsure what to do next. Blake would look down at his "shoebox" before he walked a couple paces to his plastic bag on the floor, crouching down as he started lifting the shoebox with one hand before grabbing his plastic bag with another. He would grip it, making a fist before he laid the shoebox on both his hands, starting to stand up.
"One thing for sure, I'll definitely be coming back next chance I get!" He would say genuinely as he turned his head to the counter where the Robo-Dino was, winking at him before he turned his head to Keigo again. "You probably already know...though, I'll give it a shot. I'm promising that to you." He would confidently say. Despite barely getting to know him and the dino, he focused on what his father would say after being told with something immiediately in his work place such as a new task for example. While it was something that was thrown out of left field, it was still his fathers responsibilty to make things work.
Just like how "Blake" was going to make being a Digi-Destined "work".
Blake would nod at him before turning away as he walked out of the store.
