ALSO, AS PROMPTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, and in the spirit of Halloween: August's GHOST TRICK event!

O-Bon festival: The streets are lined with NPC-run stalls for food, games, and the assorted tchotchkes of every summer festival you’ve ever seen in your animes! There’s Goldeen Scoop, heaping cones of Swirlix Candy, Test Your STRENGTH (there are two different machines for people and Pokémon; HM04 not required); basically, if you can think of it, it’s there. There will also be a yukata rental stall if you want to go full hog on the cultural side of things. Ecruteak boasts a small stage where the Kimono Girls give a short performance once every two hours; the festivities in Lavender Town are a little quieter, but they also have Haunter-shaped ice cream treats. When you lick them, they Lick you!

On the last evening of the festival in either location, there will be a large bonfire and traditional bon-odori dance in which everyone is welcome to participate. In Lavender Town only, they also set paper lamps afloat in the water past the cliffs.

Who you gonna call?: Remember “The Ghost of Maiden’s Peak”? Well, some of the local Gastly, Duskull, and Yamask seem to have gotten it into their heads that this kind of tomfoolery is somehow good medicine. If your trainer had someone in their life, someone now dead, that they have unresolved business with, these ghosties may take it upon themselves to play a little dress-up and follow your trainer around in the guise of said dead person until the issue is resolved. It’s their way of saying thank you for all the spiritual appeasement of the festival.

These ghosts won’t speak; Pokémon don’t talk, after all. So yes, your trainer is going to be followed around by some silent echo of their past who will not leave them alone.

Or, of course, write your own!

Oh, but the desert was beautiful. Sad and desolite, but full of wonder and history, secrets and the possibility of a friend. They very gently touched the Skitty, as if she might tear under their fingertips.

"You're so soft..." they murmured, turning to Anders with a smile. "Yes! I always welcome companions! You may call me...hm." They didn't actually know what 'human names' were like, or might to be like. "I only know Rythulian names and gylphs."

[Pinsy may give a small mewl, if only because the Rythulian feels very out of place and she feels a bit sorry for them.

Meanwhile, Anders gives a somewhat guilty smile; it wasn't quite what he meant by that, but he doesn't disagree.]


I would be happy to call you friend. Though, perhaps you could think on a name for your Pokemon? It may make you feel better about their company.

"Friend. I like that name." They paused at the mention of their Pokemon, looking at the Golett again. They very, very slowly approached them.

"They are just like the Guardians but smaller. Not as long." When the Golett reached out to offer a hand to their trainer, the Rythulian drew back again.

Many of these creatures seem similar to some in our respective worlds... But to my knowledge, it isn't likely for them to turn on their trainer.

[The Espurr at his feet waddles over to the strange Pokemon to "say hello," so to speak, and give a little wave. Maybe if the Rythulian sees Golett having a positive interaction, they'll be more comfortable with it! He's helping!]
