[Armin has never been able to celebrate Halloween before, which is why this year, he's really going all out. He wants to find out what this holiday is all about. Throughout the whole event, he can be found wearing some very wizardly robes. They are the proper type too, slightly loose and baggy, long sleeves and a few odd potion bottles (they are really just water and food-dye) hung from his belt. And, of course, as finishing touch, he's wearing a large floppy hat, embroidered with stars. He's got a large spell tome and a wand and he is ready for this.
Also accompanying him will be Tiger Lily the Politoed. Except she isn't much of a Politoed today. She has been covered in black paint --pokemon safe, of course!-- and is sporting a pair of fake cat ears and a tail. After all, a wizard needs a cat, right?]
A. patch of pumpkins
[Early in the day, before evening has fallen even, Armin can be found looking over a rather spooky looking booth. The big sign overhead proclaims 'Pumpkin contest!', with a broad, cheery looking woman (dressed up as a pirate, yarrr) all too happy to explain the rules. It's quite simple really: take a pumpkin, carve it up at your spooky best, and at the end of the night a winner will be chosen. There is a small fee --which will go entirely to the Sevii Old Friends Pokemon Sanctuary-- but in return, everybody who enters will get a very nice cup of pumpkin soup --hey, we can't waste all those pumpkin guts, right?-- in addition to a chance for winning the big price. Which is still a secret for now.
So far, all Armin has done is admire the pumpkins. There are a great bunch already on display, little cards tucked underneath them so everybody knows which pumpkin belongs to which contestant, with a stern looking Banette making sure nobody gets the idea to switch any cards around. There are the more standard scary designs - creepy monster teeth, zubats in all sizes, and spooky eyes. There are some that look like they were carved by veritable pumpkin wizards. And there is one that is probably too scary to be allowed.
So far Armin hasn't jumped in yet, just watching. He's curious certainly, but he has never done this before. Maybe he just needs a little nudge?]
B. oo in the house
[Later in the evening, Armin (with the help of the open warp pads) has made it to Ecruteak. Right now he is standing in front of a haunted house. A slightly shabby looking haunted house. The sign proclaims 'FrEe If YoU dArE' but the paint hasn't been applied in the neatest fashion. The girl at the entrance doesn't look all that interested either, chewing her bubblegum and looking at her phone. In fact, she looks slightly annoyed at being here, as if she has somewhere else she much rather be.
Still! It's a haunted house, with all the proper props and spooky stuff present. Would be pretty fun to take a little walk through it, right? And hey, if it sucks, at least it is free? And, uh, those eyes glowing in the top window are definitely just a lamp right? Of course. Totally. Right.]

[Lets forget that silly wizard for a moment. Wherever you might be this event, if you are wearing a scarf or a cape or any other sort of flowing fabric, at some point during the night you might feel an ominous pulling on it. A ghost!!
No. wait. It's just a Sharpedo. Do not ask why she is here, in the middle of a street and not in the ocean. Her teeth are still clamped on the end of your scarf/cape/whatever and she seems rather insistent on having that, thank you very much. Will you give it to her? Try and buy her off with some candy? The choice is up to you.]
