[WHAT'S UP NETWORK, it seems someone has gotten their wires crossed and is trying to use the PsyDuckDuckGo searchbar but keeps posting messages by accident.]

[Help. Help them.]

[ACTION for Route 29]


[With a gritted-teeth groan, Wrath sets aside the PokeGear and presses both hands to his temples.]

[He's been walking west from New Bark with his new Pokemon partner for about five hours. And while his memories of once being human here are growing clearer by the minute, he doesn't remember it ever being quite like this. His head is throbbing and the heat is unbearable.]

[And there's no air-conditioned buildings or shady storefronts to duck into like there always had been in the Goldenrod City (or "the yellow town", as he always used to think of it).]

[At least there's trees, which is what he's finally opted for now that the sun is high in the sky and the thought of taking another step is about as appealing as sticking his head in a wasp's nest. Laying spread-eagled on the grass under the shade of a big maple is at least cooler... but it hasn't stopped the banging pains in his head.]

[Sitting next to him is both the (thus far unexplored) complimentary rucksack from "Mom", and his starter: a little Cubone, who's been watching him a little worriedly. Said Cubone is the one who pulled the PokeGear out of a pocket on the backpack and helpfully pointed out the internet search engine (prior to being assigned to his very! first! trainer!!!!! (exciting!) he had been cared for by Elm's various lab assistants, and had seen them look things up online for research regularly!), but it didn't seem like the search had been fruitful.]


"Bone?"

[Wrath cracks open one eye, grimacing-- his partner has started to rummage through the backpack, pulling out packets of trailmix and holding them up expectantly.]

[But he doesn't feel hungry-- he feels gross. :(]


You can have it...

[He's just gonna fold an arm over his face and lay there like a corpse for a bit.]

[You don't see your favorite(?) vampire when the screen comes one. Instead you see a shiny Salazzle using the camera as a way to show off her (obviously) perfect complexion.

She began to perk up and pose and wink for the supposed audience.

In the back, you would hear a familiar voice calling out.]


Do show what this place has given you, darling! Let them see your beautiful face!

[The lady lizard seemed to take this in stride and made a big grin. Astarion came into view finally, with his curly locks pushed back by a headband and having what appeared to be a soup spoon with something...unidentifiable on it. Soup? Gravy? Whatever it was, it was on the spoon, in a pot over a campfire in the distance, AND on his apron.]

[There's a million things that are concerning about waking up in an unfamiliar dorm room, especially when you were in a dungeon looking for your sister a moment ago. But rushing out of the room, screaming the names of his companions and trying to find them isn't on the top of Laios' list.

Instead...]


hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[This message appears on the PokeGear, but it's not the only one.]

ssefgggghhhhhhhhhhkllllll

[....What is he doing? After a bit of fiddling, he finally turns on video and his face appears on the screen.]

Huh? You just push the letter and it appears? What a strange little device... wonder if it's powered by magic?

Hypothetical question.

Very. Very hypothetical.





In theory.



Do people
dye their own hair.

If so. How does it go.

For you.

Thanks.



[Shiro what. What is this question even. If you're self-conscious just say so.]

[The video opens on a sleeping little Jangmo-o, curled into a tight ball. The scale on its tail is draped very deliberately over its forehead, not unlike a sleeping cat. As the camera shifts (and the woman behind it rustles) the little creature startles just enough for the tail to fall away. The damaged forehead scale had been trying to protect immediately becomes obvious. Whatever caused it, the damage was long since done — the wound had healed over, leaving the break clear but little more to be done.

As the little creature lets out a fearsome growl, the camera backs off, then turns toward the user. Angel offers a careful smile toward the screen, lifting a finger to her lips as she makes her way from the room. The door is carefully closed before she finally speaks.]


There was a swarm on the islands a few days ago. I found him being picked on. Jangmo-o rely on the forehead scale to defend themselves, so… you can imagine the trouble he was in. [She sighs.] I’m hoping to help get him back into good health, but it’s going to take time. And honestly I don’t even know where to start, or what all is even possible.

But… He deserves a chance to live as normal of a life as he can. So… if you have suggestions, I’m all ears.

[Video opens up with Astarion all smiles, vampire teeth and all as he was being bridal carried by a very chipper Incineroar. They looked like they just left Falkner’s gym! For the seasoned. Astarion seemed to still have some color/burns from his vacation in the islands. Apparently he’s been through a lot since you all saw him last!]

Afternoon, darlings! You might be wondering why we’re all gracing your network with our beautiful smiles!

[Even carried out, he was able to reach into his pocket and grab his badge case, revealing the shiny badge inside.]

We’ve officially moved up in rank. Put up a fight but nothing my team couldn’t handle. On to the next one! After some celebrations of course.

[The video opens to a… very exhausted looking Vash. He smiles like there’s no problem, but it’s clear from the gum in his hair and a bunch of grass sticking out of his hood that he’s had a long day. His face is rubbed fretfully, before a wiggly-fingered wave is offered up to those tuned in.]

Hey, guys. [He stretches out, then scratches at his hair, grimacing as his fingers streak through the gum.] Wondering if you can help me out? Got these two little guys following me around, a — Grafaiai and an Impidimp I think?

Tuuuurns out I may or may not have offended them? See, they won’t leave me alone. Like, nonstop pranks, that sort of thing! They’re real famous around town I hear, seein’ as how everyone seems to know about them.

Guess my question is… do you know how a guy can do some Poke-appeasing? I’d sure like to get a break from the chaos, and I’m worried my team is getting fed up too! Any help would be gr-

[The camera cuts off as a fingernail sized glob of paper hits Vash’s cheek. Meanwhile, the Pokegear itself is picked up and turned around. A Grafaiai delightedly chitters, while behind him, an Impidimp seems to be holding a spitball shooter? Gross!

In any case, the two quickly scatter at the sound of movement on the other side of the screen.]


Hey, get back here!

[And just like that, the feed cuts off. Uhhh….]

[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.]

- guys!

[Shiro is beaming. Delighted. As the camera focuses, one can see that he's... in the kitchen. Of the island house.]

[Oh no.]

[But nothing seems to be on fire. There doesn't even seem to be any urgency in his face.]


Hey, look - look what I did.

[He holds up ... a plate. A plate of toast. A plate of toast that's barely scorched. Sure, there's a few black marks here and there, but it looks... normal? He laughs, a little sheepishly. Thank you, Snorunts for your luck.]

It's about time, right?

Okay, question.

Has anyone gotten a notification from the Jennies saying that there's an issue with their Trainer ID?

I feel like I've hit some sort of weird dead end with just more and more forms to fill out and it's... [Keith growled under his breath, his temper quickly fraying.] It's stupid. [He was visibly trying to keep his cool while on public video.]

[You don't see Astarion immediately. Instead you see a fuzzy newborn Woobat happily squeaking at the screen and kissing it with her little heart nose. She gave the screen a few kisses before returning to Astarion. He looked like he was in some decent hotel. Many keen eyes would see that he decided to be around Goldenrod City for the holidays. There were bags of goodies and decent clothes all neatly hung. Some looked like they were wrapped presents.

...Why would those be there?

Anyway.]


Everyone, this is Brunhilda. Say hello to the network, Brunhilda.

[More happy screeches!! Hello!!!]

Now, if anything comes to harm Brunhilda, they will be met with swift retribution. If you catch my drift.

So! Pampering is in order, everyone tell Brunhilda she's beautiful. Go on, trainers! We're waiting~.

Who: Everyone
Where: Goldenrod Christmas Market
When: December 1st - December 31st
Summary: Ah, Christmas time! A time of joy, family and... commerce?


Like every year, the Goldenrod Christmas Market is opened on December 1st by a Santa (not the Santa, but certainly a Santa) with a merry Ho-Ho-Ho and a jolly tinkle of sleigh bells. And like every year, the stalls are stacked to the brim, overflowing with everything you might wish to buy this Christmas season. Every few stalls, the items make way for hot food and drink -- waffles, hot chocolate, cider, you name it and you can most certainly find it.

Just like last year, you too can open a stall at the Christmas Market. If you've got a special talent for creating things, why not drop by Goldenrod, and see if you can sell your creations for a bit of extra money. Stalls can be rented by the day, the week, or even for the whole month, so even if you've only got a small stash of items (or pokemon eggs or food or whatever) to sell, why not come by and try and make a buck.

[Hello, Johto! Been a minute, hasn't it? The video flicks on to show Botan, sunshine and flowers as usual.

...With her Greavard, he seems to be the only Pokemon she has for the moment, but she has a good reason for being quiet and not thinking about Pokemon capturing, because--]


Botan here!

I have a very small announcement, if you happen to know Korra or even knew me before...we're getting married!

[She has a small popper that she pops off as she says that, the Greavard's tail wags.]

Three years late, but better late than never! The date is October 31st, any other details you can ask myself or Korra about directly. That's all, thank you!

[And the feed clicks off with the Greavard licking the screen.]

To think, we were out again. )

[A disgruntled man, dirty, would appear on the video feed on this afternoon. He had a look of annoyance. But not severe. His Litten was on his shoulder. He stomach would lurch loudly on occasion but...food for him was still a mystery.]

You know, defeating small children for pocket change is great fun and all but for Gods sake...all I wanted was a day at this "spa" after three days of travel.

Why does every bloody thing cost so much?? Did they think these school children would be willing to give us their parents' fortunes? Maybe as a kind offering for those scraggly newcomers by the goodness of their hearts? Gods. I smell like the dead and so does my beloved Yula here. The most I was able to do was give her the meal she deserved.

[Technically he could pickpocket but what if there were secret police or something, he doesn't know that yet. He doesn't want to go to jail he's been in paradise for not even a week.]

[It's Armin at his desk, rain hitting the large windows behind him, making it look rather cosy. Hopefully you are all inside too, and not out in the rain.]


It's almost Halloween again, isn't it? Seems impossible that it's already this late in the year again. When I was a kid, my grandfather always said life goes quickly when you are old, but I never believed him. I guess he was right after all...

[Armin is clearly very old and soon to be turning even older. 23! Practically at death's door.]

Have you guys had any luck deciding on costumes yet? I couldn't think of anything, so I thought reading some of my favourite scary novels might help. [Armin gestures at a stack of books on his desk. Imagine books like 'Dracula' and 'Frankenstein' and 'The Haunting of Lavender House'.] But now I have the opposite problem...

I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm open to suggestions.


[Though really, Armin kind of looks ready and willing to chat about anything. He feels a little bad for neglecting the network during the whirlwind of getting married and wedded bliss.]

[For those outside of Goldenrod City, you may just find one Vash the Stampede throwing his arms out wide and into the brisk air. He's no stranger to wind, but the chill? That's something else entirely. It feels amazing, even if he's shivering within his jacket.

Unfortunately, he seems to have missed the fact that there are strange Pokemon on the move. Namely, strange Pokemon moving in a mass migration with the breeze. They go where the wind takes them. And where the wind takes them is straight for Vash.

For those with the good sense to stay home home? Manes the Mimikyu has not missed out on what a hilarious mess this is going to be. She's promptly set up Vash's Pokegear, aiming it at him just as he throws his arms out wide. He does a spin around, even waving to the Mimikyu as he whoops and hollers at the cold air. Unfortunately, while he seems to have noticed his Pokemon, he hasn't noticed the oncoming swarm.

He misses it, right up until it collides with him. And helpless beneath the rolling batch of tumbleweed creatures, Vash falls. This does not stop the horde. It rolls over him, poking and prodding at every little sensitive area. Vash, meanwhile, flails on the ground as the Bramblin and Brambleghasts continue on their little migration.

Only one stops. And it's hardly even stopping, so much as it repeatedly rolls into Vash's head for good measure. If you're here in person, maybe you should stop it? Or if you're just watching the show, feel free to laugh.]

[First of all, there's a link posted on the Pokegear network from one Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd. As in, literally posted, you might have to copy paste it into the address bar? He's doing his best, bless him.]

Gremlin is doing streams for charity on his channel. Please support him. Thank you.

[And those who follow the link will find a stream shortly starting up on Staryutube, for a user called DABrat! Gremlin the Rattata is set up on, like.... so many little cushions on what looks like a tried and true gamer's chair, squeaking happily as Dimitri gingerly makes sure his little Rattata-sized headset is fit on perfectly.]

[Did you know that they make headphones just for Rattata? Now you do!]

[With that done with, Gremlin excitedly waves both of his tiny little rat hands up at the camera, and Dimitri smiles as well.]


Hello again, everyone. Gremlin has decided to make this month's series of streams very special. Since it is October, he has thought that he would do a horror game playthrough every day. All donations he gets from these streams will go right to charity!

[Gremlin gestures ENTHUSIASTICALLY.]

[....Behind both Dimitri and Gremlin, in the neon-lit gloom from the rest of the room, a shape begins to form, with the faint red glow of eyes towering there in the shadows.]


For those who managed to send their donations in during specified times, they will even get to put forth what horror game that they would like to see Gremlin play. He has managed to amass a bit of a collection just for this month, and we are also not afraid to buy things if they are readily available.

[The mysterious shadowy figure slowly fades away. Dimitri and Gremlin remain none the wiser.]

Chat, you know that you must behave as is proper while we finish setting up, and then we will be taking the first suggestions!

[ooc: WELCOME TO GREMLIN'S HALLOWEEN CHARITY STREAM please ignore the chat and what they say about Dimitri, because he sure is

Basically how this will work is that you can assume that - so long as they donated! - your character can suggest whatever horror game they like for Gremlin to play, and that can be threaded out to varying degrees! Alternatively, they can just comment and chill as Gremlin plays games with Dimitri there to offer commentary, and make sure his rat is doing well.

This will basically happen for long hours during all of October, so you can have your character comment whenever. This also ensures anyone can suggest whatever game and be guaranteed Gremlin will play it.

Suggested games can be completely made up, or Poke-parodies of actual horror games. If you're having trouble thinking of them, I have a whole spreadsheet of various horror games that you can riff off of.

Happy October!]
