The last few hours before dusk sees you all arriving at a large, stately home just outside of Lavender Town.

Unlike previous years, where Halloween had you visiting dilapidated castles, this manor home is in perfect condition. Age hasn't crumbled the walls or worn away the dark roof, but rather it sits on the manor like a heavy, proud crown, a testament to the many long years it has stood here while everything around it changed but it stayed forever the same. Candlelight flickers in its many windows, while it casts a dark shadow against the slowly setting sun. The gravel crunches under your feet as you make it up the long drive and a cold wind chills you to your very bones, even through the layers of whatever costume you've chosen to wear.

Then the manor's large double doors fling up. Two long shadows stretch down across the driveway towards you, light spilling around two silhouettes standing in the opened door, beckoning, inviting. Soy doffs his hat, while Riegfried bows deep, his hare ears nearly brushing the ground.

"Welcome to our Halloween Feast."

Hypothetically speaking, is it ever okay to steal a pokemon? Unrelated second question -- what's a better name, Chief or Sarge?

[Enjoy, Pokemon Land, as you are treated to a very flattering up-the-nose shot from somebody who is trying to remember how to work their Poke'Gear. It's a grubby man with green hair and circles around his eyes that would make a Hoot Hoot jealous.]

Hey, hi, how's it goin'? Does anybody know uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh what the fuck just happened?

[He doesn't elaborate for a hot minute. He looks off-camera at something and squints. He pants a little, like he's been running.]

Where's my STUFF, where's my POKEMON? All I have is--no, I don't mean it like that, Dave! Don't look at me like that, Papa's goin' through it right now! ALL MY SHIT IS GONE except for my precious baby angel son Mimikyu. One second I'm shoplifting at Hot Torchic and the next I'm waking up in Mom's house again!

[His brow furrows as he thinks for a second.]

Did I just fucking die?

[Min-Gi is trying to film a message, but interesting things are going on in the background. Ryan is busy keeping an entire entourage of baby Pokémon entertained, with the help of his recently evolved All Dressed. Earlier this year he took to the network cooing about how cute she was, but now she's evolved into an Espathra - a large neon psychic ostrich. She's leaning in curiously with a head tilt, interested in Ryan's shenanigans. He's sitting criss-cross on the floor with four baby Flittles, all little agile things that float from one hand to the other, making it look like he's very slowly juggling them. Occasionally one will get over eager and Mama All Dressed will lean her head in, like she's gently tapping a balloon so it won't hit the ground. There's a Noibat as well who decided it wanted to be a part of things, so it's decided to just climb on top of Ryan's head and watch. Maybe occasionally flap a wing at one of the babies to see if it blows around like a dandelion.

Ryan can't come to the camera, but he seems fine with this arrangement.]

So... It looks like All Dressed and Echoes had babies. Which is great. We're so happy for them.

[He clearly does not think this is great. Min sounds more like he's reading a script while being held at gunpoint than announcing the birth of six adorable babies, but look. He's doing his best here. He pulls the camera over from where he'd been letting it focus on the background back over to him. He has a sleepy Noibat tucked up to his chest.]

Please take them. If you want them. No one has to, but they're all really great Pokémon who'd do a great job for your team.

We have four Flittles and two Noibats. I, uh... checked their moves. If you want to know them. I'm pretty sure you can't get Flittle in the wild at all though so this might be your best chance if you like them.

[Ryan yells from the background, trying to compensate for how far he is from the camera - "Tell everyone their names!"]

Dude. No one can hear you. [Min knows full well the camera can pick up Ryan. He just doesn't want to share them. He shakes his head, soothing the Noibat who's starting to stir.] Besides, they're just temporary.

[ooc: Movesets can be found in this post! Feel free to claim them here, in the OOC post, or both if you want to.]

[This is very clearly not meant to be video. For one thing, it's featuring Shiro's tiny closet of a bedroom. For another, this man has obviously just woken up. His hair is sticking up at weird angles, he's trying to blink his eyes hard enough to keep them open.]

[What is this. Was he sleeping?]

Did ... did we win? The big - [A sort of floppy hand gesture.] Big Suicune thing? Did we win?

[Behold, the end result of extended use of Mega-Evolution. Exhaustion for trainer and pokemon both.]

[Please send coffee.]

[ Every month or so, people vanished around now. Minfilia would scroll though - and if it was somebody she knew, she would mourn quietly.

And yet, one name struck something else into her - thus, why she's making a post, from her home near Celadon. She's dressed casually, and still looking serious. ]

When I first arrived, there was a man here who terrified me. One who had... hurt me and my people back home. [ The details didn't matter now. ] In order to protect myself, I began to train myself, and began to train my team. My goal was to become Champion. It seemed to be a place where we could be safe.

I know he had little power here now, but I did not know that when I arrived. I was ignorant, and he took advantage of it.

And yet, he is now gone. Just before I began my trek though Victory Road.

...I suppose I simply needed to tell people. And ask, I suppose. [ Though she hestitates on the question. She's not mourning. She should be celebrating, yet. She changes her mind on the question. ] What motivates you to grow stronger here?

[ Notably, she has not said his name. (What name would she call him? Emet-Selch, or Solus?) ]

[The camera opens to a triumphant Carly, looking her best, and she's not alone either- standing at the bridge leading to their fair gallery/gym, Jolyne is also there! Dressed just as best.

Wasn't Jolyne on a war path through the local, normal Gyms? Did something...Change?

With a beaming laugh, Carly addresses the camera.]

HELLO, KANTO-JOHTO! We're here to bring fantastic news, and the fantastic news is....! THE TWO ISLAND MARRIED GYMS ARE BOTH IN BUSINESS AGAIN~!

We're back to our regularly scheduled matches, so anyone who had an 'IOU' to fight Jolyne can come right over to try for the Badge of War again!

And to celebrate, there's going to be ice cream served free for the audience~! Er-

[Ahem. She pauses, looking somewhat somber.] While supplies last obviously, I'm not made of money here. Or ice cream.

[The cheer resumes, and she throws her hand in the air..] But if I know you, you're coming for more than ice cream, people..!! So if you're dropping in on that weeeeeird broadcast for Seven, make a pitstop at Two!

[Jolyne throws an arm around her wife's shoulder, and grins sharkishly at the camera.] And once you do, come through the gym's gallery to meet me for an asskicking!

HEHEHEEEEE-!!

We got it?

[There's a squeak from the camera holder, who's pointing the 'gear temporarily at the ground. Those who know Shiro probably know that voice too - his Gallade, Blue.]

Okay! Okay, hold it steady... Ready?

[Slowly, the camera pans up. One would expect this to be Sevii Island Four, right? Because that's where Shiro lives. But it's not. It's Goldenrod. And there's a long flight of stairs in the middle of the city, probably some official building.]

[The stairs have been covered with plywood, in makeshift ramps.]

[It keeps panning up, to see a teenager perched in a pilfered shopping cart, at the top of the stairs. The teen looks an awful lot like Shiro, if his hair were all black, if his face were missing its scar, and if he lost about thirty pounds of muscle.]

Great! Okay!

... Hi network! We're about to test my first roller coaster! It's gonna rule. Oh - right! Uh. Pilot Shirogane, signing on for test pilot duty!

[Did his voice crack a couple times there? It sure did. This dork is probably 16. And therefore, invincible.]

[This surely won't go wrong.]

These freaky-necked things really don't let up, huh? I'm starting to think me and Ilex Forest just aren't meant to mix; every time we're ready to start that way, something comes up.

[Eda seems more amused than annoyed as she adjusts her Pokegear to show a battle: A shiny Hisuian Zorua, facing off against a Flamigo. The wild Pokemon is clearly getting frustrated as its forceful kicks keep making contact with Zorua without any results. The Zorua doesn't even flinch, in fact, it seems to be laughing.]

Anyway, this one can't be the smartest bird in the flock. Well, at least it's a good way to train up this new little guy!

...Maybe it's nuts, but I kind of want to catch the guy. I mean, you gotta give him credit for the determination, right?

[It's another idyllic day in Vash's life in Cherrygrove. Well, except for the rain lately, but he doesn't mind the changes in weather too much; sure it gets a little uncomfortable in the pockets of muggy weather in his long-sleeved shirt and pants he never switches up the length on, but he copes.]

[What's been the real problem, however, is figuring out just which of his ten cats, evenly split between Skittys and Sprigatitos, is knocking over his plants on the windowsill, brought in from getting too much water in the rain. He knows it's not his Oddish or Flabébé, they're well-behaved little guys, so that leaves....all the cats. Mother Schmooples and Father Tito are tentatively ruled out, being the ones supposed to set good examples for their offspring.]

[The first video to go out by Vash is accidental. The recording isn't, but the posting is. The camera is set facing a potted plant for about ten minutes before a little Sprigatito with a yellow collar jumps up onto the windowsill, sniffs the plant, and just...knocks it over. Then it jumps down, the video goes on for a while longer until Vash's mechanical hand comes into view.]

Aw, man...that didn't take long.

[He picks up the PokéGear and ends the feed.]

[Some time passes while he plays back the footage. Then the second, this time purposeful video post opens up to Vash holding a yellow-collared, smaller than fully-grown Sprigatito in one flesh hand, and he's smiling sheepishly as he bounces the baby a bit for emphasis.]

H-hey, anyone know how I can keep this little guy from knocking over plants? Found out he's the culprit, but I don't really know what to do about it. Any help would be appreciated!

[The Sprigatito criminal in question mews. He sounds proud of himself, or at least like he has no idea he's being called out for his crimes.]

So it seems that my idea to go out looking for more Pokemon has been delayed. It is necessary to get this problem sorted out, at least as much as possible before then.

[Ulaz will then pan the camera around to show off the "problem". There are four pairs of Pokemon, each with a small clutch of eggs.

A Mightyena with clearly eggs of two different patterns so some were the father's species, a Husiuan Arcanine; a Glaceon with an Alolan Vulpix; a shiny Stufful and a Hisuian Zorua; and a shiny Yanma and a Vivillion]

They have clearly been busy. If anyone would like to claim one of the eggs, please let me know. There is a chance that two of the batches might contain a shiny, but I do not yet have the scanner so I cannot be sure.

What’s this? There’s glitter in the air. What’s this? There’s dresses everywhere.

Oh right. It’s Prom time.

From the afternoon on, on Friday the 7th of April, your characters will all be arriving at Tohjo Falls via the transport arranged for by Lance. He did end up borrowing a few of those Corviknights from the JKBA, but there are also several of you who will find themselves flown to the Falls by one of Lance’s Dragonites or Charizards. Please give them a poffin if you are able, they are all very good boys and girls.

Your characters will be set down on a tiled driveway (more like flyway, Ha) in front of an impressive-looking villa. Those who have been here before might note that the villa has gotten a bit of a renovation and an update. Turns out that when Team Rocket kidnaps you and keeps you captive in your own home for several weeks while wrecking the house and digging Arceus knows how many basements beneath the house, you might be entitled to some compensation.

And from the looks of things, Lance and co used that compensation to turn their little vacation home back into something where they can relax in peace.

After you arrive, you’ll be greeted by Lance or one of the other Elite Four members, who will give you a quick run-down. You are free to explore the house and surrounding area at your leisure. Please respect their privacy and do not go into any of the locked rooms. You’ll find your accommodations behind the house, so feel free to head there and unpack. Oh, and, there will be a little announcement later, so if you could be in the dining room for that, that’d be stellar.

Well, off you go!

WELCOME (BACK) TO THE FALLS

Well, I can't say I'm happy about this whole thing... But I guess the timing could've been worse. Although having a woman who's probably younger than me claim to be my mother, that kind of weirded me out. [A snicker with a bit of a snort to it, as the woman's tired annoyance gives way to begrudging fondness.] She'd have to be a lot more overbearing than that to compare...

I'll give this place some credit for the guidebook. 'Cause if a realm's gonna pull you into it, or whatever happened here, the least it can do is give you an instruction manual. But commanding the, uh, Pokey-mon we team up with feels a little weird, at least to me. I'd rather be fighting alongside them-- Although I guess without any of my magic now, that's not an option anyway. Ugh. Alright, Owl Lady, don't get caught up in that...

[After that muttered aside and a deep breath, she's sounding better - if not a bit strained.]

Might as well introduce myself. We're all weirdos to a realm we don't belong in here, right? I'm Eda Clawthorne. It's not my first time traveling like this, but it's definitely the only time I really had no say in it... And it's just the pits. What do you guys do around here to deal with all that?
