He refused to give in, to the town that takes all

[The screen flickers to life and Harry offers a wave to the camera. Maybe someday he will be comfortable talking to random people. Today is not that day. However he's got something to talk about that does interest him so let's get to that.]

Hey everyone. I'm sure you've all noticed October starting, and that means Halloween is coming in a few weeks. I thought maybe in keeping with the season we might share some scary stories with each other. Whether it's a "true story" or one you've made up is up to you. I'll trade a story for a story if anyone's interested.

( Action for travel companions )

[Video/Action for a hotel room in Saffron City]

[There is a Hoothoot in a turban. That's probably the first thing you should notice when the video shakes to life. The second thing you might notice is that the turban is made out of a brown jacket. Or maybe it's the sign in front of it you notice. In large letters.]


[And in case you're wondering, no Harry is nowhere in sight. Which is probably the reason why this video is being made. And why they seem so proud of themselves.]

[It's Christmas morning time in the small hotel room where team Silent is staying. Why are you seeing this now? Well, the gear has been taken captive by two pokemon. A Pichu and a Darumaka who you can see bits of as they figure out how to get the camera in the right spot. Once it is, you can also see a Hoot Hoot and a Woobat as well. But where is the gear pointing?

See Harry. See Harry asleep in a chair.

See four pokemon sneaking up on Harry. Climbing up the chair and....

JUMP

See Harry start awake as four pokemon follow the time honoured tradition that they'd heard of, which involves waking Harry up early on Christmas.

Luckily for his confusion, Lisa floats over and turns the gear off as he tries to figure out why there is a woobat on his head again. Roommates, feel free to notice the mess.]

[Later: Okay this time Harry is in control of that as he found out that his morning surprise had been taped as well. He has tea now though so things are a little bit better.]

Ah, sorry about that. ...I'm starting to think Pokemon are a lot like kids. ...in many ways.

[Right, um....yeah]

Oh right. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, or any other holiday, or just a good Tuesday as the case may be.

Oh, and did everyone get eggs? I'm hoping no one broke into the room to put them here, but knowing this world I wouldn't be surprised if it just appeared out of thin air. 

Ah, anyway. Merry Christmas 

 [Harry is outside writing in a notebook. Bag off to the side.

Why can you see him? Because his pokemon are bored. You might be able to see two pokemon, a Togepi and Pichu, as they fumble with the camera. This sadly get's Harry's attention. ]

What are you two doing? I told you....

[And he has to stop there as something soars down out of the sky at his face. Hey Route, enjoy Harry Mason being attacked....kinda.]

What, ah ...get off! 

[There's a bit of confusion after that as the camera is dropped. And the next thing you see is Harry holding a ...thing in his hands. Or as he'll find out later a Woobat. Just looks at the now back in focus gear...not amused.]

Well the egg finally hatched. 


.....attacking people at random isn't a normal habit of this thing, is it?

[Because it's going to find itself on the wrong end of a lead pipe if it keeps this up.]

[Video: SOMEONE. Read: Heather. Had convinced Harry that he needed to dress up for the holidays. Well they found a detective costume.

Lisa the Togepi it seems is working the camera and is showing an odd sight. Harry has a magnifying glass and is examining a rock. He's dressed like a classic Sherlock Holmes style detective. A Pichu is next to him and is pointing to the rock next to it.]

Watson! I think we've found the next clue! They've gone that way! 

Quickly, we must find the next clue before Dahlia the mystic hoot-hoot beats us to it!

[Action: Anyone in Ecruteak City can find the odd trio running around, examining everything for clues. Yes everything.]
