It is a cold, October day. It is the thirty first, Halloween, and people all over the city are preparing to celebrate the day. The wind blows strongly, as it blows through the leaves. It leaves a cold chill. Deep in the forest, however, there is one person in the forest today. Alone, and searching for comfort. A tall, shiny Trevenant wanders, almost aimlessly. He stops to breathe in the cool, refreshing air. "Oh, the fine breeze. The comforting howl of the wind, the silence of nature...you are the only thing left in this world that gives me comfort...the on thing that never changes. And this comfort I will need today. For today is the most accursed of days..." He looks down toward the ground and tightens his fist, "Long ago, on this very day, in these very woods...my beloved was taken away from me, as well as my life...and my soul. Yet, I could not leave this world. I have been forced to wander this earth as a Trevenant. But every day, I am in anguish."

"Hatred and torment bither me all day long. I have no purpose to live, yet I still walk the earth. Why? Why is that? Is there not anything left for me here?! I only wish to go on to meet my beloved, but I am trapped in suffering. Today, I journey back to this horrible place, to finally, once and for all, figure out why I am still here. I must calm my inner demons and become at peace. I cannot wander any longer. Today will be the day I fulfill my purpose, and learn why I am here...Today is the day I return home..."

After a long period of silence, the distraught Trevenant pulls out a folded blanket, and sets it down on the ground. "I must gather the correct preparations to make peace...and I must not be disturbed..." The Trevenant wanders into the thickness of the woods to gather things.

"So take a right, here, and walk straight? Is that efficient? Hmm.." Walking through the woods comes Charmandah! Holding a map in his hand as he draws lines on it.

"I need to figure out the fastest and most efficient way to get MAXIMUM candy! This Forest shortcut seems to be working out, but I'm having trouble getting around." Just then, he trips across a root and lets go of his map, "OOF!" The map then gets blown by a gust away from Charmandah, "Oh no! Wait, I need you! I can't lose all of my progress!" Running through the woods, Charmandah chases the map. He runs through some vines, a prickly bush, and a patch of Posion Ivy. "Does this map let up?!" It did however, and landed on a lonely blanket lying in the woods. Charmandah takes advantage of the oppurtunity and quickly dives to get hold of it once more, "GOTCHA! I better fold you up and put you away to make sure I keep track of you." He stands up, and takes his hat off of his head. He puts the map into his cap and puts it back on. "There! Safe and sound! Hey, wait a sec, why is there a blanket lying in the middle of this forest? Is someone having a picnic here or something?"

He looks around, looking for any sign of people nearby, but nothing at all. "Huh. I guess it was left here? Well, I'll make sure to add this location on the map, so if it's still here and the owners haven't come and looked for it, I'll pick it up and bring it to the local lost and found station!" Charmandah quickly pulls out his map and marks the area, then, folds it back up and gets going. However, his leg is very itchy due to the posion ivy, "Ow! Dangit, why did there have to be posion ivy here? I really hope this won't bother me all night. I better get home quick and have mom check it out. At least it's only a small irritated area. And why have I been talking as if someone is listening to me? Now that's weird." Charmandah then continues his trek out of the woods, eventually making it back home.

Meanwhile...

"Umm, hmmm. AHA! This hat is perfect! Now my costume will be complete!" Skwertle walks up to the counter and pays for the item. "Cutting it a bit close there huh? It's halloween tonight!" The cashier tells Skwertle. "Yeah, well, I couldn't quite decide what to be. But I've got it all figured out now!" He purchases the hat, then leaves the store, wearing his new purchase atop his head. "Gee, he's right though. It was pretty last minute of me. I need to be more careful next time or else I'd have to slaptrap together a costune. Hmm, now that I think about it, I have no idea what Peekatchu or Charmandah.s costumes are. I hope they have them prepared. I better check on them both and make sure. Just incase (And hopefully my costume will compare to theirs...)"

*Snore*

"Peekatchu, wake up..."
"Peekatchu, you've slept in way too late. At this rate you're going to miss Halloween entirely!"

"Five more minutes pleease..."

"You've had more than five minutes. It's all ready noon!"

"Huh!?" Peekatchu sits up and rubs his eyes, "Oh man, why am I so tired?" His mother rubs his shoulder and says, "Maybe you're going through sone growing. Usually when you do, it takes up a lot of energy and require you're body to need more sleep!" Peekatchu kicks off his blankets, "What I need now is some pancakes.." He slides off the bed and tries to walk out of his room, but falls face forward. "My...you ARE tired. You must be doing some serious growing young boy." His mother says, as she walks up to him and picks him up. "Thanks mom. *Yaaaawn*"

After getting ready for the day, Peekatchu sees his brother Zoaruah, "Hey Zoaruah? Are you going to come with us this year?" Zoaruah laughs and rolls his eyes.

"I'm too mature for trick or treating Peekatchu! Just because you find enjoyment in it still doesn't mean other people will. It's just for LITTLE kids." Peekatchu goes to the fridge and pulls out a stack of pancakes, "You know Zoaruah, I think you're trying to grow up too fast. You don't want to miss out on childhood fun while you have the chance."
"You know what I think? I think you need to lay off the pancakes. You eat 12 pancakes for breakfast every day! You're going to get fat." Peekatchu dumps a bunch of syrup on his pancakes and tells Zoaruah, "No, I'm going to become an Alolan Raichu! I need to eat lots of pancakes if I want to turn into one when I evolve." Zoaruah just stands there and looks away, "That sounds ridiculously wrong."

Re: Heck yeah, I've always been better with animals than people

Wow! That story is written quite well. Great job :)

Re: I guess the two sports are somewhat similar. Maybe you should try out a sport. If you don't like it, you don't have to continue it haha

Poor Trevenant. :(

Btw I put up a new painting.

Charmandah's been listening to EXE this whole time. xD jk

re: BA DA BUM BUUUUUUM, BA DA BA BA BUM, BA DA BUM BUUUUUM, BA DA BA DA BUM!

Wow! This first part was pretty darn good, Witzke! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the next part of this story! ; D

Plus, I agree with Zoaruah. 12 pancakes is way too much for a Peekatchu. XD

Re: I think it depends on what a vet wants to do. Some work in pet clinics for cats and dogs and perhaps other animals like rats and reptiles at times. Others may decide to work in zoos and water parks. I want to work in a pet clinic

//Re: Thank you! I always wanted to make an honest hero out of him. ^-^

Btw, great job on your drawing, too! :D
