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!

Ah, capsico, I meant no offense. It seems you had quite the eccentric mentor, si?

[nacn]

You can say that again. I can almost hear him now - "In assassination, as in Pokemon battles..."

[ Manami is not... amazing at realizing that her life is weird, sometimes. ]

[assassinos]

Assassination?

[ you said the word, manami ]

It would seem you and I have more in common than I thought, signora.

[nacn]

Oh, I mean... I'm not a professional or anything! I wasn't even the best in my class, but... that was what we were learning. Technically.

[ ... ]

Do state secrets still have to be secrets if you're in another dimension?

[assassinos]

A kindred spirit is just that, no matter one's skill level. To think, a whole class to teach assassination...

[ He's impressed tbh. ]

It would be best to keep those secrets just that, even if you are in another dimension.

[nacn]

I guess so... well, that's what it was. But it was more than that, I mean... he always made it clear that he was prepping us to do whatever we want to in life, assassination or not. But he used assassination to give us the skills we'd need to excel in the future. I want to be a scientist, for example, but he gave me a push by helping me with poisoning. Things like that.

[ this girl is going places, man ]

My friend Leonardo would have taken well to you. While he preferred the arts, he was quite the scientist as well. He created poison darts for me to use in my own assassination pursuits.
