MISCHIEF NIGHT
Who: All the Dark-types put your paws up!
Where: Anywhere and everywhere!
When: Sunset on Halloween Night to sunrise on November 1st!
Summary: MISCHIEF NIGHT MISCHIEF NIGHT
Rating: G-PG13
Log:
There’s a sour-sweet wind a-blowing this eve as the sun hangs low and red in the sky. The leaves have turned, windows glow like jack-o-lantern eyes, and the streets hum with the excitement that the night will bring. There’s no mysterious trees growing straight out of the concrete this year, and there’s a palpable sense of relief as those who were waiting with bated breath for the other shoe to fall finally set about hanging up last-minute decorations and picking the candy aisles at every PokeMart bare.
It is Halloween, and for the first time in a few years, it would seem nothing is going to get in the way of the holiday.
… At least, right up until the last sliver of sun dips below the horizon.
A flock of Murkrow explodes up from the woods around Violet City, cawing in excitement. On the Sevii Islands, Alolan Rattata pop out of their burrows with bright eyes and quivering noses. In the glens outside Celadon City, the Houndooms start to howl.
Almost as one, all Dark-type Pokemon, big and small, young and old, stop and lift their noses to the crisp breeze. Something ancient tingles in their bones. Oh, tonight...tonight is their night. However much they may love their trainer, something higher is calling them. Mischief! Adventure! CANDY!
It’s time!
Fast or slow, brazen or sneaky, the sunset is the signal for each and every Dark-type to break away from their trainers and run off into the night. To do what? Well what do you think, silly humans? You know what night it is!
Some fashion their own costumes and go door to door earning sweet treats alongside the excited children who are out in droves. Or perhaps they might pursue some more unconventional treat-seeking avenues -- sometimes one man’s trash is another mon’s treat!
But there’s more to Halloween than candy; others will develop a nasty streak and put the ‘trick’ in ‘trick or treat’, upsetting outdoor decorations, frighten childrening and little old ladies, or even pantsing people! The horror! Anything can happen on Halloween!
Even the wild Dark-types are filled with the holiday spirit. Last year everyone was too wrapped up with that Ghost-type nonsense to properly enjoy Halloween, so they’re all too happy to make up for lost time. Harried trainers trying to track down their tricky runaways might find themselves befriending the Poochyenas, Murkrows, or even Alolan Meowths that have come out of the woodwork to celebrate. After all, what good is a grand trick if there’s no one to tell about it? What good is a tasty treat with no one to share? Even trainers who don’t have any Dark-types in their arsenal will find themselves approached by these wild Pokemon and invited to tag along!
10/31 - Cerulean City
[Halloween wasn't a big thing in Japan, not like it was for other places. Sure people still dressed up and had parties but trick-or-treating wasn't a big deal. And for someone like Shoto it was never something he got to really partake in much.
With all the buzz in the air about the upcoming holiday he couldn't help but be intrigued, especially when his Pokemon started to get excited as well. (Little did he know Mr. A was getting hyped up for an entirely different reason.)
He and Hope reached Cerulean a couple days before everything kicked off and Shoto spent a solid day searching for a costume he could wear, dragging Hope along to find his friend one as well.. In the end he went with something rather stereotypical for Halloween but he enjoyed it nonetheless, getting himself a bag for candy as well and some small buckets for some of his Pokemon at the same time.
When Mischief Night finally rolled around and they set out to start their adventure, Shoto unaware that several of his Pokemon had slipped away to have some fun of their own as things got underway.]
[All the Treats!]
[While Mr. A the Poochyena is going to be after treats rather than tricking people, don't expect him to be an absolute sweetheart. He won't hesitate to walk right up and stick his snout out, bucket held in his jaws as he gives a very pointed "Well?" look as he waits for candy to be dropped in. He's got a pair of goggles on his head and a scarf wrapped around his neck, Shoto having dressed him up like his namesake...just because he could.
He's also got a Murkrow and Alolan Meowth in tow, the pair quite curious about everything going on. (Careful or the Murkrow might try to recite poetry at you...without words. He's still learning how to talk okay.)
Oh, and don't mind the way Mr. A's shadow moves oddly every now and then. It's nothing. Really.
There's nothing to see there.]
What's this?
Hope settled for a mage's outfit that he more or less put together himself by getting the pieces separately as they didn't quite have his world's version of mages. He hooked his basket on his staff, glancing over at Shoto.]
So, how does this work on this world? Mabel said kids go door to door but that seems... awkward.
no subject
[It's said thoughtfully as they walk, Shoto's own bat-bag hooked over his arm as he watches some younger kids running along the sidewalk in excitement with Pokemon trailing behind them.
Beside him, Deku the Bulbasaur is toddling along dressed up like Stegosaurus skeleton, complete with glow in the dark--Pokemon safe!--paint.]
We go up to each house that has a porch light on, ring the bell and when they open the door we say Trick-or-Treat...that's what I read at least.
no subject
Yes, Mabel said much the same. I suppose this is just... I don't feel quite right doing this.
[It was complicated. And he wasn't sure he could even explain adequately. He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. Mentally an adult or not, the fact remained that he was physically a child. He could get away with a lot like this, but it still felt wrong to even think that.]
I might be too old for this.
no subject
[Was he too old for this as well? It seemed like it was something that could be a lot of fun but...was it suppose to be just for little kids?]
Did you want to go back to the hotel?
no subject
[He gave a soft, apologetic laugh. He was being selfish, wasn't he? He shook his head. ]
Sorry, no, let's just see what happens. I'm overthinking this, don't mind me.
[He hadn't really told anyone about what had happened to him. Only Noel knew. But he doubted anyone could really help him either, if he did say anything. But he also felt like he was lying to everyone.]
no subject
Well. Maybe not a person exactly. And maybe it is not the outfit as a whole she rates so highly, but just his cape. His long, luxurious looking, swishy cape.
Nemesis the Sharpedo watches Shoto as he passes her by, hidden in the dark water. Thankfully Cerulean is a town full of water, making it easy for her to get around while she does her own form of trick or treating. She waits patiently enough for Shoto to pass by the dark water before she strikes! Shooting forward and catching a hold of Shoto's cape, giving it a mighty pull.]
no subject
So as he and Deku the Bulbasaur had been wandering about in search of Hope, neither of them had been paying attention to the water--
and that was their mitake.
Shoto let out a yelp as he was yanked backwards, his candy bag hitting the ground as he lost his grip on it and he probably would have ended up toppling backwards into the water if it weren't for Deku's quick actions. The little Bulbasaur let out a worried cry, dropping his own bucket and lashing out with his vines to grab his trainer around the waist.
HEY STOP THAT!!!]
What--let go!
[Shoto reached back to yank at his cap, unable to see who was responsible but Deku's angry "Bulba-bulbasaur!!!"s made it clear it was another Pokemon.]
no subject
It's just that.
She really needs that cape!!
She shakes her head (body), giving the cape another violent tug.]
what's this
She grits her teeth and jogs on after where she saw Lute run off to, finding his endurance capacity to be astoundingly high. Arlert is with her, out of sight as she keeps to higher in the skies tracking Lute from above while avoiding the other fliers in the night.
Lute cuts in front of Shoto at a run as he's at one shop stoop, his sol-sol cheerfully sing-song as he shifted and made the overlarge bell hung from a ribbon tied around his neck jangle and chime. He presents his side for the old man handing out from a bowl, and tosses his forelock when candy is tucked into the bag with a creaking smile. He's already trotting away, bell jangling as he goes, when Annie catches up, pausing at the corner to look both directions. There's too many people for a clear view on where he went, and Arlert is having difficulty finding him, evidenced by her silences from overhead.
Annie spins on her heel, her long coat and dress swirling around with her, the country-girl aesthetic she's currently sporting nothing like her usual state of affairs. Her hair is in low pig tails, a sunhat perched on her head, and round framed glasses on the bridge of her nose. She catches sight of the person who Lute had blown past, and to her brief startlement, she recognises him from the 'gear. ]
Shoto? [ Though taking in what he's wearing... ] ... Are you dressed like a vampire.
[ It's not a good thing she can recognise the style of costume. It's a sign of how often she's seen it, and also, how little she's impressed by the concept of blood drinking parasitic monsters. ]
