It is Halloween, at about 1:00 PM

Skwertle finally makes his way from the shopping district and into the neighborhood, "Gee, I should've taken a bike. If only I hadn't lent it over to Victeenie the other day." He then heads on over to Peekatchu's house.

*Ding Dong!*

Peekatchu quickly shoves down his remaining pancakes and rushes to the door, knowing it must be one of his friends. He opens it and Skwertle is greeted to a full-mouth, "Mwaha-fama." Skwertle recoils in disgust, "Geez Peekatchu, swallow what you've got in there first!" Peekatchu tries to swallow it all in one gulp, but it gets stuck, "AACK, Shwoakimg!" Skwertle is taken off guard, "Woah Geez louise, not all at once!"
"WABBR!"
"Water?! You've got it!"
Skwertle Water Guns into Peekatchu's mouth, and the water helps him swallow his cakes. "Ahhh. Thanks Skwertle!" Peekatchu hugs Skwertle, "You saved my life!" Zoaruah walks up to get in a quick quip, "Yeah, but all the pancake sugar is what'll kill you now."

Hey, interesting story! I like the drawing! Would you be interested to join a Secret Santa? Come to #DDSSZA please!

Skwertle pushes away from Peekatchu's hug and begins to ask him, "Hey, uh, Peekatchu. What was I asking...Oh right! Do you have your costume ready for Trick-or-Treating tonight?" Peekatchu smile gleefully, "Of COURSE! Why wouldn't I! I've had it purchased last month!" Skwertle then rubs the back of his head, a bit embarrassed, "Oh, really? That's uh, interesting. What if you changed your mind about what you wanted to be?" Peekatchu then laughs, "I've been thinking about this all year! Pretty sure I've got it covered." Skwertle sighs under his breath, "Guess I was just lazy then. Early bird gets the worm. ANYWAYS, wanna come with me to go check on Charmandah?" Peekatchu smiles, "Yeah! I haven't seen him all day. I hope he's got the plan all figured out." The two then head off across the street over to Charmandah's house.

"Ow, ow."
"Hold still.."
"But it itches!"
"There! all done."
After running through the Poison Ivy earlier, #Momizard is tending to #Charmandah's leg.

"There, it's all wrapped up. Now don't scratch it!" Charmandah moans, "But Mom, I can't NOT itch this! It's awful!" Momizard then tells him, "Then you should have been more careful to notice Poison Ivy! How did you even get that stuff on your leg? There isn't any Ivy on the forest path." Charmandah moves his leg closer to him and explains, "Well, I was running through the woods. My map blew away!" "Then let this be a lesson to be more careful!" "Mooooomm!"

*Ding Dong*

"I hope he's here" Skwertle says. #Charmelein answers the door, "Hey's my package here!? ... Oh, Charmandah's friends. I thought you were the PUPS deliveryman. CHARMANDAH, you've got friends here!" "One moment!" Charmandah gets off of his bed and scurries over to the door to greet his friends, "Hi guys!"
"WOAH."
The two are in shock at the site of Charmandah's wrapped up leg, "Did you mauled?" Peekatchu asks. "No no," Charmandah responds, "I had a run in with some Poison Ivy."

Peekatchu then gets a bit angyry, "Ah man that's awful! Well don't you worry! We'll make sure that this 'Poison Ivy' guy gets caught and-"
"NO no Peekatchu, Poison Ivy is a plant, not a Pokemon."
"Are you sure? Cause Bellsprouts look like plants but are Pokemon."
"Yes, I'm Sure."
Skwertle then interrupts the exchange to ask Charmandah about his status, "So, hey uh, Charmandah, is the plan ready?" Charmandah quickly pulls the map from under his hat, "Almost! I just need this area through the park written down and the map is all set to go! I would've done it myself, but after I started itching like crazy I had to make sure that I got my leg washed quickly. Do you guys think you can finish it up for me?"
Peekatchu smiles, glad to help out his injured friend, "Of course! And if we see any Ivy we'll make sure to take care of it for ya!"
"Uh....okay..."
Charmandah hands Skwertle the map, as well as a pen, "Good Oh hey, Charmandah, how's your costune coming along by the way?"

Charmandah freezes for a moment. "Um, you ok?" Skwertle asks. But Charmandah quickly laughs it off, "Ahaha, yeah, nevermind me. It's great! Can't wait to show you guys tonight!" Peekatchu smiles, "OH, well, ok then. See ya after we finish!" Peekatchu and Skwertle head off for the park, and Charmandah returns inside.
"Oh nooo......"
Charmelein comes up to him and asks, "Forget about your costume?" Charmandah sighs, "Yes, I was so busy making that plan the last two weeks that I completely forgot!" Charmelein shakes his head, "YIPES. Tough luck bro... You know... There's always the cardboard stash in the garage."
"Great idea!"

A good 15 minutes later, Peekatchu and Skwertle arrive at the park, "Hey look, those guys are playing frisbee!" Peekatchu exclaims. Skwertle completely ignores it, "We're not here to play Peekatchu, we're here to finish the map. Soo....it looks like Charmandah last marked the area where the forest and park meet. Guess we should head on over there then."

The two then make there way towards the forest, walking along the park path. Peekatchu gets sidetracked along the way, and they even pass Mudkip chilling on his bench. Yup...just sitting there....staring....into....my soul......AAAAHHHHHGGGGGGG!

"Here we are, the forest!"
"Oooh."
The two stare into the forest as the blustery winds blow through the trees, "Yeesh." Skwertle says as he shivers, "That's pretty freaky. Just imagine how awful it will be going through here at night. But enougn of that, time to start penning down!" Skwertke pulls out the pen and begins to draw the line on the map, but it takes little to no time for the pen to stop working! "Oh no, the ink must've frozen. It hasn't been that long." As Skwertle begins blowing on the pen, Peekatchu begins looking around for an alternative solution. He looks up a small hill right next to them, and notices that someobe has pitched a tent. "Hey, someone's camping up there Skwertle, they might have a pen!"

Peekatchu runs up the hill to go investigate, "Hey, Peekatchu, wait! Don't just run up to peoples tents!" Peekatchu ignores Skwertle however, and makes his way to the top. "Hello?" There seems to be a telescope set up by the edge of the tent. Peekatchu, as curious as he is, walks up to it and looks through it. "Oh, hold on!" Someone shouts. Peekatchu is surprised a bit at the sudden noise and bumps the telescope, moving it's position, "Oh no, please, do not move my telescope! I had it perfectly alligned!" A #Dartix walks over and quickly adjusts the telescope, making sure to set it up back right. "Ahh, there we go." Peekatchu is amazed at the sight of this new Pokemon, "WOAH. What are you?"
"Oh, why, I'm a Dartrix!"
"You're not from around here, are you?"
"Well, no, I'm not. I'm a student who recently began attending a nearby college, and I am on an asdignment, you see. I'm studying astronomy!"
"So...You want to become an astronaut?"

"No, astronomy is the study of stars and space! I need to do a report and detail each of the stars that I see. I picked this area as it seemed very fitting. In the day I can be around many people having fun in the park and at night, peace and quiet."
"Is that all you do?"
"Well, no. I also study dreams and the supernatural as a hobby. Probably in my blood due to my final evolution being part ghost type. I'd love to tell you more, but seeing as how your eyes are crossing and your attention drifting away, I'm assuming you aren't very attentive to long words and speeches."
"Nope. I don't even get a lot of what you just said. Um, do you have a pen I can borrow?"

The Dartrix heads into his tent and grabs a pencil, "Here you go. A pencil. I don't really trust in pens, as you have probably experienced, they are very unreliable in cold weather. You can keep it as a gift from me for visiting me." Peekatchu grips to it tightly and knods his head, "Thank you kind Mister sir!"

"Any time young friend! May the stars guide you!"

The two then continue with their map making, and work their way home. The sun soon gets close to setting, since the day is shorter in cold weather. Someone else though is still hard at work...The Shiny Trevenant, deep in the woods, is meditating..."Patience....quiet...calm..." He tells himself. But he is troubled with rambling thoughts, much doubt, and a supernatural oppression. "GAH!" He screams as he falls onto his hands, "This is NO good! I cannot calm my spirit even for a minute, and I'm making no progress..." He takes deep breaths, but stays determined, "No....NO! This HAS to work, it WILL! But this is the only day and I will be stuck living a tortured life if I cant overcome this evil! NO! I will! I can! Remove all doubt. It will come tonight, I'M SURE OF IT!!!"

...

"It must...or else my spirit, will be lost...like so many other ghost Pokemon, who couldn't solve their problems...and became...completely corrupted."

Man...if we had a writing contest, I'd lose. XD
Btw I am considering posting stories I wrote from time to time.

Hey, Witzke, I've run out of ideas for #CZWA 5. Anything you can think of?

I'm actually surprised Mudkip was mentioned! I wonder if he'll be involved in the story? /; D

Keep up the good work on this, Witzke! ; D

Peekatchu is the only one out of the 3 of them that actually got his costume ready in advance. xD
Can't wait to see what happens next!

Man, you're still on here? Holy moly
