ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

"You idiot. That place ain't safe, people have died in there! You wanna throw your life away so readily?"

He seemed serious, but also bitter, he could've been exaggerating.

"There's no tour. That's just the new way whatever is inside lures you in!" Tex grunted, "But what do I know... only had to watch it for 20 years."

He stepped back onto his porch and sat down, his grumpy demeanor not vanishing, "Good luck. Have fun."

The doors opened, the inside seemed fine, clean and tidy.

Elizabeth: "...that's foreboding and creepy."

Lyra: <Pfft. Can't be worse than fighting in a space war.>

Unova-Pokeworld Studios

Etran sighed. "What if he's right, Malice. Do you have a backup plan in mind."

Malice shook her head. <None. Of course, this guy is nuts, so we don't need one!>

"I think I've got an idea," Etran said as he pulled out an ultra ball. He then sent out Bacchus, his Tropius. "Bacchus, if we're not out soon, get help. Got it?

<Got it,> Bacchus said.

"Well then," Etran said. "Shall we go in?"

Pokeworld Studios

-Pent stopped and pondered the old man's ramblings a little bit-

I'm quite experienced enough to consider you serious. However I'm experienced enough to know that we can deal with it.

-His expression gets a little more serious and he nods to himself as he takes in another deep breath-

I trust these people and I trust my own skills, when we return I hope it will be to tell you your vigil can cease.

Pokeworld Studios

Zoroark: <...Wait, what?>

Jones: <Hey, I've dealt with ghosts before. Thanks for your concern, but we'll be fine!>

‘’’Altar’’’

“Yeah, I was actually kinda hoping someone could pop a portal,” Colton explained.

“It will be very amusing if they’re still human in that world where I became a Rockruff,” he chuckled.

‘’’Unova- Pokétown Studios’’’

Rei decided to stay out with her trainer as they entered the studios. Their expressions were mirrored at that guy who told them about closing. Sure, there were naught but 50-60 year old reruns on TV, but they were still around. Right?

Tex just watched as the winners entered the old studio, "Good luck. Let's hope you all actually survive."

The inside was, relatively bland actually, clean walls, a desk, and a sign pointing to a hallway for tourists.

-The Zoroark and Jones come through-

Zoroark: <Well, this... doesn't look too bad.>

Jones: <Ghosts or not, this is kinda welcoming. Dunno how cautious we should be heading for that hallway, though.>

-Lyra heads in.-

Elizabeth: "It's too clean..."

Lyra: <Aw, come on, Liz. Nothing's gonna happen!>

-Elizabeth hesitantly steps in.-

Pokeworld Studios

-Pent slips in carefully and smiles-

So, anyone want to take a bet on how quickly things'll get crazy?

 Pokeworld Studios

Etran walks in, Malice floating behind him. "Alright. Let's hope this is legit. Doesn't look too bad in here."

Malice goes through Etran and laughs. <I'm the only one who'll do any scaring here!>

Shaun: "At least we don't have to go inside."

Tsunami: <Hmmph.>

Hapu: "Are you ready?"

-Shaun nods.-

-Hapu sends out an Alolan Dugtrio.-

Shaun: "Buisness as usual, Tsunami. We've come this far."

-Tsunami nods and prepares to attack.-

UNOVA - Pocket Monster Animation Studio

There is another gal here. It's Amélie! And she's with Thalès.

Amélie: "Doesn't look omnious at all. I think it's just animation for like october."

She looks at the inside.

Thalès: •Ooooh. Maybe there will be actors and all? I heard Unova likes to do that on Halloween.

Amélie: "Maybe. We'll see I guess."

She takes out a camera and begins to shoot some pics.

After everyone had entered, the doors shut, locked, and seemed... flatter than before.

A note was beside the door stating, "Darn thing sticks with the lock, key should be in the storage closet down the hall".

A pleasant voice started to play over the PA systems talking about the history of the studio, a few mentions of a bitter rivalry with someone named "Walt" and a history of the Zachary Zoroark Cartoons.

A projector down the hallway turned on, displaying one of the old cartoons, it seemed Zachary was helping out his old rival Terry against a trio of baddies, the Koma Gang.

Pokéworld Studio

Amélie idly watches the cartoons.

Amélie: "...I don't remember thoses a lot... I mean they never really passed in neither Kalos nor Hoenn..."

She still enjoys the thing, listening intently to the audio while Thalès notices the note and make a mental note of the note not to forgot.

Pokeworld Studios

Zoroark: <Never saw them where I'm from either, but... well, enjoying them now. Wonder what this place's deal with Walt is, though.>

-Jones shrugs, but draws his attention to the card-

Jones: <Guessing we shouldn't go for that on our own, should we...>

-Ashley has ventured north from Seafolk Village and now has even less idea where she is.-

Silas was walking through, just enjoying life, Hacks still by his side. He saw Ashley, and Ashley may notice him.

-Ashley approaches Silas.-

Ashley: Um, excuse me? Any idea where I am right now? I kinda got myself lost.

-She scratches the back of her head.-

Unova Pokeworld Studios'

Colton had opened up his other Great Ball. Now him, Rei, and 9-Volt were all watching those cartoons. But there was some twisted smirk on Rei's face that Colton just couldn't place.

He'd find out eventually that Rei was making mental wisecracks at the cartoon, from clipping through the floor due to "retroactive gravity", to ACME - A Company that Manhandles Everything.

• ba dum tss*

Is it that funny? Her trainer mused. I don't see why she's slapping her legs. In that rhythm, no less.

9-Volt was enjoying it on a more basic level, without any commentary.

Silas looked up from his map and looked at Ashley, "Oh, you're in the Poni Wilds, Poni Island, Alola. How did you get here?"

Ashley: I was in Seafolk Village and started wandering. As for how I got to Poni Island in the first place, no idea.

-She frowns.-

Pokeworld Studios

Malice is watching the cartoon, as Etran reads the note. Malice is giggling.

<This is going to be fun!> Malice laughed.

"So the key's in the storage closet, huh?" Etran asked. "Malice, can you phase through?"

<You want to take the easy way out?> Malice asked. <Fine.>

Malice attempts to phase through the door.

Malice would have no success as the walls seem to actively keep them out.

Silas raises a eyebrow, "Weird," he expands the mapview on his P-Droid and looks it over, "Any place you last remember being?"

Pokeworld Studios

-Jones watches Malice try and get through-

Jones: <Huh, that looks pretty Ghost proof to me.>
