Just as he had picked up a mid-sized pumpkin to move over to where the others were hauling pumpkins out of the fields to clear the land for the next crop, he looked up at the sound of the voice that had addressed him.

“Well, as long as this isn’t going to end up in those… pumpkin spice drinks that everyone’s so obsessed over then I’m fine,” he replied.

What was it with the color orange around this time of the year, too?

The next thing he encountered was a Ground-type Pokémon, at least according to the Pokégear he’d pilfered to use for his own.

…while it did take a lot of data erasing just to ensure that it wouldn’t be traced to him.

This Pokémon looked… weird. Really weird.

It wasn’t on his ‘to look for’ list.

He then skirted around and continued his search.

Rarely did he find himself so far inland, to be honest. He would normally be hanging around the coastal cities, but well—

Boredom did get to one sometimes.

He had no idea how he ended up all the way at Littleroot, doing farm work helping around other people who needed extra pairs of hands.

Well, it was better than just doing absolutely nothing and lounging round.

Better getting a farmer’s tan hanging around and doing menial work to keep himself busy—busy spying on the local populace.

Up in the rafters—

The scampering rat below was clearly rattled, running around blindly—all he had to do was to strike at the most opportune time, and then feast down on the trapped prey below.

But no, not yet—

Well, at least until they’d run into a corner and flipped their shit out before backing away—making him change direction above in the rafters.

“Headed your way,” he communicated quietly. “We can trap them in a pincer formation.”

And just for that, he popped a Dusk Ball open, watching as his lone named Pokémon, the Doublade he called Yamato, emerge from the beam of red light.

“Go, chase them toward the exit,” and with that the dual-type slipped into the darkness via Shadow Sneak, ready to strike from close to where the rat was running.

A quick search through his own pockets revealed that even his own Pokéballs were missing—

“This is why I detest ghosts as much as the next person,” he grumbled as he stood up from where he’d crash-landed; and sent a pile of leaves blowing away into the mist.

The only good thing about this was that he still had his weapon of choice on him. Reaching behind him, he pulled out his sword and held it in front of him, ready to strike.

“Cover my back,” he added, adjusting his footing as the sounds coming from within the fog grew louder upon approach.

“Most likely nearby,” he contributed.

“No Pokémon is powerful enough to stretch its attacks over an entire forest, shouldn’t it,” he added a few moments later.

Unless it was like that Unown that he’d heard about causing some disturbance in a party some time ago, like how a swarm of them had come bursting out of the so-called ‘rip’ between dimensions.

“Best we stick together and keep an eye out for some… stray mushrooms.”

Why mushrooms?

Some story he remembered overhearing about how ‘faerie circles’ would be the doorway to other worlds.

There was one reason why he hated Lavender Town, back home.

It was all because of the damned, fucking ghosts.

And even out here, on the slopes of Mount Pyre, the thick fog made everything so hard to see. It was like the mist hung consistently around the entire area.

Which made traversing the place almost impossible even with the sun shining behind some clouds. It was late afternoon, now—

And you know that Ghost-types start coming out after sunset, around here. Turning to face where his patrolling companion had fallen, he pushed himself up and off the ground.

“Are you okay,” he inquired.

Damn, the impact was enough to give him blunt force trauma in the form of bruises. That landing sucked.

His partner was lucky he didn’t mind hiding up above; bless his thin and lithe frame.

Add to the fact that he was clad in something that obscured him from view, bless his preference for dark-colored clothing.

“I can see the rat moving around, stay where you are,” he replied back quietly into the earpiece, moving along quietly along the shadows in the beams above.

The plan?

Drop down and cut off the escape route.

Thankfully he would get a chance to use his blade this evening.

A M.A.G.M.A. MEETING

Once the room was called to order (well, as best as order could be called anyway) the presentation followed.

And then—for the first time in a long while—his eyebrows went up slightly. More on the choice of font, that was ridiculously tacky, but who was he to argue? He was just a follower, however he followed with reason.

His eyebrows remained raised as the cliff notes was presented, and then questions were being fielded.

His mind lingered on ‘some’, not ‘all’. What was up with that? Were ‘prayers’ needed before volunteering for this?

Either way, everyone else was asking all the questions, so he would just go in line once they started calling for volunteers.

He would go wherever he was needed.

Never mind if it meant that he would have to fall into the deepest circles of Hell to do it.

Never one to question what the ruckus was about, he stood off somewhere in a quiet corner, eyes examining the room at large. Who knew there were a lot of people around?

The two that mattered the most—the ones he knew from Kanto—were at the forefront of the assembly.

Catching their gaze (at least he hoped Gavin would notice he was there), he continued to observe quietly, hands crossed over his chest.

It wasn’t just him who’d gotten lost.

He was pretty certain that there were no wild Fairy-types running around the place—

Unless he’d fallen into another parallel universe that existed across the multiverses then he was pretty much lost as well. Thankfully, he had one of his Pokémon out for a light source.

Just as he thought he’d gotten even more lost, he heard someone’s voice shatter the quiet.

Rather than revealing his location, he decided to approach instead; the Fire-type appearing first before his own silhouette cut through the gloom.

“You might want to keep it down… who knows if we’re lost in another dimension,” he warned quietly.

With some adapting, scaling the obstacle is easily done.

It’s like they’re going on a hunt, and eventually they do reach their destination.

“Thank you,” he remarked as he pulled himself up and onto the thankfully solid ground.

“Climbing is never easy, especially unprepared.”
