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!

You have to talk to it.

[Jean knows, he's had one of those things follow him too.]

It won't go away until you tell it what it wants to hear.

I don't... I have no idea what to say. I don't know what I should say to it. Not... not at all.

[ He could say so much, but what would he want to hear?

That he was safe. He would be happy. That he had done well and that Takaki would keep working hard for both of them. That he made it home. That he could rest. That he was sorry.

But he can't say any of that with honesty. Some of it would be lies and some of them wouldn't be fair to him. His shoulders sink. ]

Then just start talking. Don't think about it too much. When you're saying the right thing, you'll know.

[Jean doesn't mean to sound uncaring here, but he feels a little ill seeing the Pokemon who act like people from the past again. He's afraid that if he doesn't keep himself closed off, one of them might find him again.]
