[There are probably a lot of shaky-cam videos popping up on peoples' feeds, given the chaos. Unfortunately for you all, here's another one.]

[CLANG!]

[The trash-can lid that is front-and-center in the frame, held like a shield in front of the filmer, gains an unmistakable DENT as something strikes it from the other side with enough force that it's knocked askew. This reveals the attacker, although it's moving so fast that it's little more than a blur of white, pink, and pale green.]

[Only the filmer's quick reflexes save their fingers from getting snapped off as their improvised shield is yanked away-- they saw it coming and let go. The mechanical Gallade-doppelganger flings the trash can lid away and it goes spinning off across the ground-- which seems to be the floor of a small battling court in one of Goldenrod City's many parks.]

[This all goes down in about three seconds. At that point, the filmer's voice cuts in.]


HEY, UH, who the FUCK are these guys?!

These are NOT my Pokemon!

[Wait, 'these guys', plural?]

[--Ohp. There's another one in the background.]

[The second aggressive stranger, a ghostly white fox, is a short distance away and grappling with a Hitmonchan. ... Or. Well. 'Grappling' kind of implies a two-sided fight. But the Hitmonchan's butt is getting THOROUGHLY kicked, because he was not prepared to have a Normal/Ghost-type flung at him on this fine day. He is on the ground covering his head with his big boxing gloves while the spectral Zoroark gleefully rains down Shadow Claws.]


I literally JUST withdrew my own guys from the box this morning and these things-- [WHOOSH. A glowing magenta blade swipes dangerously close to the camera.]EXCUSE you, rude!-- and these things popped out instead!

Oh my god, can you STOP for TWO SECONDS?!

[There's a flash of another Pokeball as she sends out her Togekiss to give the Iron Valiant something other than herself to fight, and the video cuts off there.]

[The stream comes online with a view of a backyard from about 5 meters off the ground. There are enough leaves and branches in the shot to suggest that the cameraman is coming to you live from a precarious tree perch.]

[Some environmental storytelling:]

[1. A bent pair of garden shears lying in the grass beside the hedge.]

[2. An unconscious Zangoose.]

[3. A Sudowoodo pacing around the base of the tree, chattering and absolutely livid.]


What is that?

Across the Pokémon world, characters may have spotted a falling star last night. Or at least, one would think that's what it was: a naturally occurring phenomenon, rather than a legendary artifact. Specifically, the Reveal Glass fell to earth during a fight among a group of legendaries started by the return of a long-lost family member. But it's probably best to leave them to handle all that themselves, while your characters deal with other consequences.

The Reveal Glass shattered upon impact, and the shards scattered throughout Kanto, Johto, and the Sevii Islands… And made their way into the hearts of your characters. But bleeding isn't the concern here. Instead, the impact will hit when a character first looks into any reflective service. An eerie feeling hits them as they're transported to the Mirror Dimension.

While this realm can be many different things for different characters, one thing is always true: It is a place of honesty, where true selves are revealed. Those struck by a shard will find themselves facing truths they are no longer able to hide, and now must accept. Fortunately enough, even those who haven't been struck will be able to enter the Mirror Dimension during this event via a reflective surface to offer help. By the end of the 29th, things will return to normal. Characters will be back in the usual Pokémon world and their hearts will be rid of the shards, but time is strange in the Mirror Dimension, and the experience may feel like it goes on far longer than a day. Or, maybe that's just the emotional exhaustion.

The Reveal Glass plot is here. You can swing by the event info post for additional details and FAQ, and play out your characters’ enforced therapy on this post. As with most VR events, this plot is entirely optional and your characters don't need to take part at all.

Okay....I think I need to get a bike or maybe a Ponyta or something. All this walking takes a very long time. It doesn't help I keep getting lost...

Well it's more of I see a Pokemon I want to try and catch and then get lost.

[Kuwabara can't help but give a sheepish grin. He's still wearing his old blue school uniform and hadn't bothered to get new clothes yet. Eventually he would. He did have a backpack that he kept his supplies in and several pokeballs were clipped to his belt. His pokemon, a Swablu, can be seen sitting on top of his head.]

I was trying to get to Goldenrod to meet a friend. Anyway, I finally made it. Just a few days later then expected...

I'm Kazuma Kuwaabara and just recently arrived here. And this guy here, is named Puu. I arrived here with a few other people. I'm hoping to find them too. But I'm open to meeting new people and hoping to battle against others!

[The video opens on Ryou halfway under a hotel bed, seemingly rummaging around for something. A few stray mutters can be heard, his irritation plainly obvious as he continues to look under the bed.]

Where did my brush go? I know where I put it last night!

[He digs around for a few more moments before finally emerging with a few stray Super Potions in hand, and it becomes immediately obvious why he's so annoyed about losing his brush - his long hair is an unbrushed mess. It doesn't look great.]

I don't know how the Potions ended up under there, but where is the-

[He cuts off as he realizes he's being filmed, then scrambles for the Gear. The video cuts.]

[Today, Armin is going to appear on the network looking pretty haggard, egg scanner still in hand. What could've happened? Did a Lapras fall down a well?

No, actually, the absolutely massive amount of eggs sitting on / leaning against the couch behind him probably has something to do with it.

(please note that each egg has been carefully labelled. Did Armin rush out to get a label printer just for this? Perhaps!!)]


I don't... know what possessed my pokemon to all produce eggs at the same time but...

[Just a tired gesture at the pile.]

Please, just take them. I have a list of species you can acces here. I don't need money. I just need to get these 104 eggs out of my house.

[from somewhere off screen, Angel's voice can be heard: 'Oh,I think I found another one.'

This is the face of a broken man.]


105...

[The video opens with a view, shot through a window, of a Steelix appreciating the quiet beauty of the fallen snow. Or at least, a Steelix trying to appreciate that beauty. Its attempts are interrupted at regular intervals by a sight that was extremely common (if somewhat dreaded) a mere day ago.

Despite the distance, despite the pane of glass, a very solid *thwack* can be heard, *thwack* repeated over and *thwack* over as an absolutely *thwack* tiny Tinkatink at–*thwack*–tempts to commit *thwack* aggravated assault.

*thwack*

It takes more than two minutes of that before a very, very tired Cecil finally speaks up.]


...How long does it take to train them out of that particular habit, you think?

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."

Would anyone be willing to help me evolve my Pumpkaboo? I have to trade him to let him evolve.

I'm in Goldenrod if anyone wants to help!


[Hopefully someone will be willing to help, Ryou's Pumpkaboo has been getting pushy about this topic lately.]

Now that everyone has hopefully had enough time to recover from the events regarding those tunnels and the mysterious creature within...

I have been thinking about that quite a bit, I must confess. Isn't it intriguing that, even in a world so developed and known as this, there are still mysteries spread throughout it?

Species we are not familiar with. Legendaries that evade all attempts to be known. Macaroni and cheese boxes which boast about their cheesiness and which yet contain no packet.

[One of these things is not like the other.]

So, my question to others in our predicament is... What mysteries have held your attention, whether in this place, or your homelands?

For myself, personally, I have ended up stumbling onto the answers of many practical matters. Medicine, food, things of that nature. It is still incredible to me how Johto and Kanto manage to handle it all so readiliy, to the point that even travelers such as ourselves can live comfortably with some effort.

Yet I wonder more about these Legendaries as well, and what an interesting presence they possess....

[Today, you are all treated to the sight of a very wet Armin. Which isn't very unusual, but what is unusual is that he is wet down to his toes and still in his regular clothes.

He is wringing out his shirt, pushing back his sopping hair, before he notices the broadcast is on (the signal isn't the best out here).]


Ah, there we go.

[Despite the aforementioned wetness, Armin seems really cheery. Excited even!]

Well, this tunnel is a bust. Nothing but water in here. I think a water main must have burst further up ahead.

How have the rest of you been faring? Any luck? I know the legendary seekers can be a bit... overly enthusiastic, but this time, it really did seem like the real deal. I receive their monthly newsletter than this picture wasn't nearly as blurry and grainy as the rest of them.

Also, has anyone been keeping track of which tunnels have been explored or not? I feel it wouldn't be very helpful if we all keep looking in the same tunnels. I could keep track of them all on a map if you can give me the coordinates of the ones you've looked through.

[The video clicks on to show a roughly twelve year old kid looking...well, maybe not quite as nervous at being in a strange location as he should be.

(Ryou finds himself in odd places with no idea how he got there all the time. It's really not too unusual an occurrence, even if this time is extra weird.)]


Is...is this working? [He eyes the camera as if unsure if he's recording to the network or not, with all the uncertainty of someone who thinks it's 1992 and has never encountered posting video online before.] Does anyone know how to go home? I know I have memory problems sometimes, but I don't know how I got here without knowing it.

[Then, muttered as he glances down at his shirt:] I don't think I would have left my necklace behind either. Did I forget to put it on?

[...Just ignore the Hisuian Zoroark in the background looking alarmed at the mention of a necklace. It's probably fine.]

I cant keep going on pretending everything's fine when I could get my Pokemon hurt because I can't see well enough


[The text post appears about half a day before the Orthworm rampage starts, and not that long after Ryou's disastrous attempt at taking on Jasmine. Notably, he tried to post this on anon, but messed up and instead posted this under his name. Whoops!]

I can't

I can't get in contact with my friends

has anyone heard from Tristan Taylor, Joey Wheeler, Serenity Wheeler, Mai Valentine, Seto Kaiba, or Marik Ishtar?

Please


[Ryou's crying at the thought of all the people he knew from home being gone as he types his message out. He's always been the kind to deeply value his little circle of friends, so to lose them all is highly upsetting.]
