[It's around noon and it's slightly cloudy out, but regardless Jimmy can be seen standing just outside of a circus tent standing prominently in the background. In his hand not holding the Gear are a two juggling pins, and standing in front of him are a Houndour and a Herdier, watching him expectantly.]

We've been practicing some stuff for the next act all morning, and I thought it'd be nice to take a break and see what everyone's up to today! I haven't felt anymore earthquakes, so that's good...so hopefully they're all gone, maybe?

[He shrugs with a half smile, tossing one of the pins. The Houndoom jumps quickly, catching it in midair.]

But I actually do got a question! Do any of you guys know any real spooky, scary stories? Or maybe scary stuff that happened to you, but turned out okay in the end?

[Not that he's saying people are obligated to share, but he's really got to learn some tricks to being scary in the next few days...cause gracious he's not.]

I've got some! I've met a ghost before! He was pretty cool though actually, once we got to know him. Kinda weird...but still pretty cool.

[Aand there goes the other pin, which the Herdier catches as well with a little difficulty, wobbling into the Houndoom's leg.]

---

[Anyone around the center of Goldenrod today might spot Jimmy practicing with his Pokemon not far from the circus tent. As opposed to earlier, he has his Furret and his Breloom out, speaking to them eagerly and gesturing with his hands as he does so.

Choosing to stay and watch a while will reveal some rather...interesting balancing acts that Jimmy is trying to pull off with the two, but staying long enough might just earn a sight that looks something like this, at least until the Furret sneezes and the entire tower comes toppling to the grass in a heap.]

[Because he's so great at thinking ahead, Kaine responded to this before realizing that not a single story he could tell is actually something he should share with a kid. Or a teenager. Or anyone. Ever. So there's just an awkward silence before he realizes he should probably say something.]

You actually met a ghost? Was it like the whole bedsheet thing, or did it look like a person?

[There, that's something that isn't awkwardly staring at the camera.]

[It's okay, he was actually hoping somebody would ask about that.]

Uh-huh, sure did! Though he....he actually did sortof look like a bedsheet! He didn't really look like a person at all.

[....but he also wasn't the ghost of a person, either.]

That is weird.

[He's never really dealt with ghosts, but he was under the impression they're not actually sheets or anything like that.]

How did you even run into a ghost anyway?

[Honestly, they probably aren't. Jimmy's world is just weird.]

Ah weeeell, it's kindof a long story...but my friend was being haunted at his house by this ghost, so we had to try and find him and get rid of him.

That sounds like it's just asking for trouble. Moving would make more sense.

[Or burning the house down, but he's not recommending that to people despite the fact that he'd totally consider it.]

Huh, maybe...it's okay now, though! The ghost isn't there anymore.

So, you got rid of it? Or did it just...leave?

Well we uh....we got rid of it, actually!

Wait, I thought you said it was pretty cool once you actually got to know it. But you still got rid of it?

Well yeah, he was! But we still had to get him out of there. It would've been worse off for him later if we didn't.

Worse, how?

[He's really not getting any of this.]

[It's not going to get any easier to understand, especially since Jimmy's not really good at...explaining things.]

Oh, well- y'see, Lucius, the guy who runs our town, heard about the ghost too, and he wanted to get rid of it using all kinds of awful force! So me and my friend Beezy- who lives in the house the ghost was in- wanted to try to get him out of there an easier way. It was a little tricky, since Lucius is Beezy's dad and all.

Use force...on a ghost? Wouldn't it just go through them? It's a ghost, right? That's how they work.

[Jimmy pauses to think about that before shrugging.]

Maybe! See ghosts where I'm from are kinda...weird. So maybe they don't work the same.

[Especially if they're bedsheet ghosts.]

That actually...

[Okay, he can't really say it makes sense, but...]

I get it. I think.
