Xemnas sat beneath a tree outside Violet City, frowning at the three pokemon before him. Only one was officially part of his team, the bright-eyed and alert riolu a welcome addition and so far living up to expectation. The other two, a deino and a quilava, had been found in his box after he'd received an alert that spaces had actually been taken up there. They watched him expectantly. Well, the quilava did, the deino seemed mostly content to sniff in his direction and make occasional bites at its surroundings. It had taken some work to find out where they'd come from, leaving Xemnas with mixed .... feelings. He's certain they are feelings.

Vanitas had been a rough boy but potentially useful. Xehanort had seen him as a failure and useless, but Xemnas had seen much useful potential there. He hadn't had the time to put it to use. He knew the sensation of regret, and it lingered uncomfortably as he studied the boy's left-behind creatures.

"Your master is gone," he says eventually. The riolu's brief puzzlement is ended by a slight beckon; he didn't mean the little fighter's. But the other two seemed to understand, and didn't look happy. "He has through accident or design, chosen to leave you in my care. I had ... great expectations for him and what he would be capable of if given a push in the right direction. I expect the both of you to meet those same standards. I will do the best I can for you. You must do the same. If you cannot, now is the time to leave. The forests here are full of things I'm sure you'll find edible, until another master finds you."

As if homing in on the sound of his voice, the deino creeps closer before settling gingerly at his side, turning to rest its hairy head on his knee with a gusty, unhappy sigh. A few moments later the burning weasel followed, tucking against the other side as if using the once-Nobody as shelter from the faint crisp early autumn breeze and light drizzle.

Xemnas ... didn't have time for two more. That put his team to eight, two too many. More than he'd planned. He could use a dragon and fire type.. but there were no places open. He'd need to think.

I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone leaving this world left behind one or two of their creatures with me. I have been intending to find a fire-type for some time now, it seems I will not have to. Likewise the small blind and very bite-happy dragon it came with.

For those who knew the boy, Vanitas is no longer present. Perhaps he will return one day.

It seems that soon there will be a .. 'haunted house' opening. I suggest everyone visit. After all, it isn't every day of the year that one may run around in costume and terrify people without being arrested for disturbing the peace. It should be exciting. Do you suppose they can truly induce fear in anyone who visits?

Will you be coming to the haunted house too mister ( ・ω・)? I might dress up this year too, if I can afford a costume.

Should I say I'm surprised?

As for horror, it depends on the curator, of course. If it truly is the Pumpkin King, then it will be quite the spectacle indeed.

[Very pointedly ignoring that Halloween talk. It's a good thing he's using text, so his aversion wont be obvious.]

Then you have Vanitas' Pokémon? I don't know how many in total he has, but I do know he has a number of them. Has anyone come forward with the rest?

[He's mostly wondering where that Absol he'd sold Vanitas went, honestly.]

Perhaps I will. [Meaning not.]

I'm unfamiliar with Deino, but I have Typhlosion, the evolution of Quilava. If you need assistance with it, feel free to approach me.

Dark types tend to be tricky to have, and dragons moreso, depending on the species. A half-dark half-dragon Pokémon would be a challenge even for an experienced trainer to raise, I think.

[And he really doesn't envy the man there.]

I'm looking forward to it! Are you wearing a costume too?

I think there's a couple of costume stores in Goldenrod. It'll be just what you need! If I had a sewing machine and materials, I'd make you one (^v^)

Yup, but I'm gonna need the funds to make everything, what you want, and your sizes.

Sorry mister.

Hehehe, maybe? I haven't decided what to wear for this kinda thing. We usually don't dress up in costumes where I live.

It has been quite a few years since I have taken the particular hospitality of the Pumpkin King. It would be be amiss to not reaffirm his dominion over terror, I feel. Even limited by the rules that govern this world, I am certain he will put on quite a show.

That would be fun!! But which one?

Nope, just cute looking ones!! But I've noticed a bunch of them are normal types like Eevee and Togekiss (♡∀♡)

Perhaps, though I was in the guise of one of his world the last I met him, and that was a very long time ago. I do not have the trappings of that creature here... and it is difficult to say if this version is from a time where he would have encountered me.

I am certain it will provide you with ample experiences, regardless. He will make do with all of the resources available... there is little doubt in my mind that there are nightmare pokemon that would serve his purposes.

[Someone forgot to turn their text settings back to their normal default. Whoops.]

I think with haunted houses it's not about being afraid so much as getting a thrill. If they were really meant to frighten people like that they wouldn't be anywhere near so popular I bet.

[What was he? Oh crap he was on the brighter one. Wait. He was good with the color? WIN. Okay, he just had to turn off the sparkles then...]

Sorry! I had it on from a couple months ago and didn't even think to check.

About the Haunted house thing though, I was just saying if it really scared people they probably wouldn't go. They only do because they expect it to be safe. Harmless.

That really depends on the person though. Like, me? Someone would have to work to scare me, and if they managed to startle me they would probably get punched or something because of my training. I guess I can see it being a bigger deal to want to be scared for people who live in peaceful times.

[He nodded to himself, happy he didn't have to fuss at the text anymore.]

I'm forever curious... but I might not go, you're right.

Pumpkin King? Not a title I've seen used before.

It was quite amusing, and good to keep the blood flowing. A shame you never managed it, but then again you had your hands full... I know in my twilight years I had little time for such pleasantries.

So long as your pokemon do not interfere I do not imagine that they would impact the experience. A properly trained pokemon would not simply attack senselessly if its master cried out in fear.

If time presents itself, it is well recommended.

Such as a pyschic pokemon using its ability. Again, something that could easily be mitigated by ensuring the pokemon brought are well-mannered and properly trained. I've little doubt if you explained the situation that they would act appropriately.
