17th Zapfish [Video, Mahogany Town]

[agent3]

Found a pumpkitty.

[It's a very abrupt, matter-of-fact way to start a post, but it's true! Rami, making his unbeknownst debut on the network, seems to have made himself comfortable near the outskirts of Mahogany Town with a small, sweet little Pumpkaboo. It must be how he sparkles and their shared Ghost typing, for he puffs out his chest and makes a great show of his moves while the Pumpkaboo laughs and bobs in amusement. Thida turns the 'gear back to her.]

There's a lot? But this one's the best. 'Cause it's a friend.

[Indeed, there does...seem to be a lot of Pumpkaboo in the background, now that you look. It's almost like Thida wandered into a whole patch of them! A particularly large one lumbers around in the way back, and Thida points towards it.]

He's not, he's mean. Like...th'not great pumpkitty. We saved th'little pumpkitty from teasin', and now we're friends! Did you guys make friends? Make frieeeends! Pumpkitties're good!

Seems like they've started popping up all over the place. We've run into a bunch of them.

[Noct's on Route 13 and he's been a bit sidetracked by the flock of Pumpkaboo that "assaulted" him. He's got a very tiny one nestled on top of his head while another bobs about on his shoulder.

Behind him, Ana the Weavile can be seen batting at several of them that are playing keep away with her.]

They really do act like cats don't they?

[agent3]

[Aaaaaaaaaaaa it's Nooooooooooooct!!! And look at how many new friends he's made! Thida beams.]

Yeah! 'S nice! [She looks around pointedly before whispering to him,] I know 's really Pumpkaboo, but I like pumpkitty - whoa!

[And it looks like the small Pumpkaboo has landed on Thida's head as well, intrigued by this strange device. Rami pops up underneath, looking owlishly with his big gemstone eyes at it as well. What this?]

Aah...'m a pumpkitty and...gemlin sandwich!

[Gem + Gremlin = Gemlin]

[Hey there lil sis!!]

I think Pumpkitty is much more fitting.

[He's grinning when he says it, both because of the comments and because of the Pumpkaboo that decides Thida's head is the best perch ever.

That shiny Pokemon though..]

I don't think I've seen that little guy before. [The prince motions to Rami as the Pumpkaboos perched on him twill in greeting.]

[Video]

[agent3]

Ooh! Yeah, I won him! For the contest!

[She just picks him up a little and juggles him in one arm, the 'gear in her other hand, and lets Noctis get a good look at Rami. He's...kind of a greenish-yellow, and that's not the prettiest color, but his gems glitter and he open-mouth smiles.]

Ford had one, but not shiny, but she's cool. So, wanted a cool one, too.

[badluckbabe]

That is such an adorable Pumpkitty.

I already have one of my own but I'm loving how many of them are popping up all over the place!

As weird as the pokemon world can be? Halloween is still pretty great.

[video]

[captainash]

I hope someone on your team punched that big one hard and made it look like a fool.

[Somewhere deep inside Ash, a young bully hunter has awakened.]

Does your new friend have a name?

[video]

[toxicodendron_isley]

Aren't they sweet?

[Ivy herself is surrounded by a set of Pumpkaboo.]

[Video]

[agent3]

Yeah, Halloween's good...

[She'd never gotten to really celebrate it in a big way until she came here, and it's a very respectable sort of holiday in her eyes. If you have the determination and stamina, you can net a vertiable ton of candy.]

Get to be a ghost again! Still got my costume.

[Video]

[agent3]

Rami did.

[Well, he used every offensive move he had.]

Yeah, thinkin'...Keccha.

[Video]

[agent3]

They're good!

[She only wants this one, who's already taken a liking to one of her own Pokemon, but Thida seems pretty comfortable in the patch of Pumpkaboo.]

Didn't know Ghosts were so good...

[Video]

[captainash]

Good. Bullying jerks like that deserve it.

[Even better! Ash approves.]

That's a cute name for a cute pumpkin. Looks like those two will get along pretty well, too.

[Video]

[toxicodendron_isley]

Of course. It only stands to reason they're as different as the other Pokemon.

[sunspotted]

[ marco doesn't know who this is but hey - a fellow person who saw a bunch of these pumpkaboo! it's his smiling, freckled face that appears. ]

I made a friend!

[ camera turns, to a white vulpix chasing around a pumpkaboo. both of them are chattering at each other, but neither seems unhappy.

well, the vulpix seems a little miffed when the pumpkaboo stops short, letting her run into her orange half, and a laugh accompanies it. ]

[Video]

[agent3]

[Thida beams approvingly.]

Yeah! 'S good! Always gotta make friends!

[And it's so much easier to make friends with a Pokemon than it is a person.]

Haven't seen you b'fore...are you new?

[Video]

[agent3]

Mm...that's not super different.

[A Pokemon is a Pokemon to Thida, after all - and that means they are good friends.]

Might go find more sometime.

[Video]

[agent3]

'Course they do!

[Bullies can go eat dirt in Thida's opinion.]

Thanks. I try...thinkin' of names...that sound different. 'Cept for Judd. He's a cat, so he's Judd.

[sunspotted]

[ it is easier to make friends with pokemon, marco has found. though he's never really had issues with making friends with people.

when she asks if he's new, he turns the video back to himself and nods. ]

Yeah. I haven't even been here a week. You've been here a while?

[agent3]

[She nods.] Couple a years? Not a few yet.

[Around two, not quite three, it's a guesstimate.]

'M Thida.

[sunspotted]

I have some friends who've been here for a couple of years.

[ the numbers don't make a huge difference. at 16, two years is a Long Time. ]

I'm Marco. It's nice to meet you, Thida. Does your friend have a name?

[Video]

[captainash]

Different names are good, but so is Judd. Do you know a cat with that name back home?

[Video]

[toxicodendron_isley]

Well I'm sure you won't have much trouble finding them this month, if history is anything to go on.

Video

[lifebloomsanew]

What a wonderful new friend!

[agent3]

Mm...yeah! Keccha.

[She's pretty certain Keccha will be the pumpkin's name.]

[Video]

[agent3]

Mhm. Judd 'n Little Judd. 'S the only cats around.

[Video]

[agent3]

Yeah...'s the spooky month. That's when ghosts happen all the time.
