Chapitre 42: Chapter 41

I pass out after I feel something hit me on the back of the head. When I wake up I see someone hovering above me. My instincts take over and punch whoever is standing over me and my fist goes right through them.

Oh no this can only mean one of two things I am going insane or that is a ghost standing over me. I am hoping it is the insanity bit since I do not want to be dealing with ghosts right now. Especially since it is not all Ghosts Type Day where the world and the ghost type dimension cross over together for one night.

It is also considered a holiday where people must dress up as pokemon to lessen their chances of being kidnapped and taken away to the ghost type demission. At least there is candy handed out at people's doors just like Halloween.

Then again every year I am almost taken away by ghost types due to smelling sweet to them. I am screwed if it is the holiday.

Then my rotomdex flies out of pocket buzzing," Phantump the little stump pokemon. It is a grass and ghost type pokemon. When a lost child dies in a forest their spirit posses a nearby stump."

I grab the rotomdex and volt myself off the bed to the other side of the tent. The Phantump follows after happily waving its little stumpy arms.

Then it touches my face and I feel my eyes roll back in shock. I wake back up to feel my head banging with pain and the sensation of being dragged off somewhere. Oh no the Phantump must be dragging me off to the ghost world. Not today I kick off whoever is dragging me away.

I hear an angry brit shouting in pain," Gosh Honey Bee is this how you thank your savior?! I rescued you from that Phantump and you had to kick me?!"

I stand up brushing the dirt off me to see I am wearing a Cinderace outfit," Charles did you dress me up as Cinderace?!" Then I see Charles wearing an Amped form Toxtricity outfit.

He scoffs in disgust," As if I want to look at you unclothed. No, Clover dressed you as that after the whole Motostoke gym blew up yesterday. Good thing too since it is ghost day. Now let's get you to the safe house so I can go hunting for Snorunt."

"You do realize that you can find Snorunt when it is snowing in the wild area and aren't they ice types not poison types? I thought you only go after poison types Charles?" I tease him while following him into the forest. Are we in the wild area or somewhere else? Where are we?

"Honey Bee you know I also train pokemon with split evolutions like the Toxtricity line. I do prefer poison types but I will use pokemon with split evolutions. It also makes easier to use pokemon like that for double battles anyway since you know I am a double battle expert." He smirks then jumps out of the way of a Frostlass.

I also jump out of the way and it went on like this until we were at a clearing filled with tents. There are people dressed as pokemon leading children around to certain tents with a lantern in front to trick or treat. There is a large bonfire in the middle with people cooking for everyone. there are people singing and dancing the traditional rituals to ward off ghost type pokemon.

It has been a tradition to hold a festival on ghost day since ancient times when the people found out that by doing this the ghost type pokemon calm down and leave until next year. Some of them though we stay near the festivities to watch until morning when they leave.

For the ghost type pokemon that stay behind that become to aggressive the traditional ghost hunts take care of them. The ghost hunters dress up as knights in Galar but in other regions they dress as the most prominent warriors of their culture.

The ghost hunters are also allowed to catch any ghost type pokemon they defeat in battle if the pokemon wants to be caught. The reason for the pokemon being given a choice ties in the fact that ghosts are more powerful on this night than any other pokemon type. It is also seen as an honor to catch a ghost type or evolve one on this night as well.

We walk onto the camp and at the last second I see Michio dressed in grey armor fighting with his Blaziken against a Litwick. Michio wins and catches the pokemon. I can still see him battling until we were at the bonfire.

There I see Clover dressed as a Rillaboom talking with Rain and Henry. Rain is dressed as a shiny Flygon and Henry is wearing a Intelion outfit. They are sitting on some logs and eating hotdogs. I see Yale wearing a Gigantamax Pickachu outfit complete with a hat that has the clouds printed on it.

Charles snorts after reaching the group," Well Honey Bee this is it I am joining the ghost hunters tonight. Have fun staying safe at the bonfire." He runs off to the ghost hunter tent to get his armor for tonight.

Rain looks up," Hey Honey want some spooky dogs?" He holds out a hotdog that has little fangs on it. It kind of looks like a vampire.

I shake my head no," Let's tell some ghost stories then go trick or treating." Everyone agrees and for the rest of the night we ate shared ghost stories and went trick or treating. We all did this to try and forget the fact that Motosoke is destroyed and many people and pokemon are dead.
