[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.]

[Embellishing or not, you have got Jimmy's total, undivided attention.]

What was it? Did you guys get to see? ...Was it a Pokemon?

Well, you're really good at telling them!

Thank you.

I liked doing it. Apparently I do have some useful skills after all.

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.]

You should do it more often!

Maybe you could come to the circus this weekend and tell some? We're gonna have a haunted house this month and everything!

It's a hawk. A red-tailed hawk.

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

Maybe I should.

Yes, I was planning on going. My brother's working there for the holiday season - Envy.

A red-tailed hawk? ....I dunno if I've ever heard of that before.

It's a big bird of prey with dark red tail feathers. That's where the name comes from.

We're still not sure what it was.

But we went out to look. We only got a few steps out of our tent before a fog started rolling in all around us. We couldn't see a single thing, but we heard it. Still walking around us, and then it screamed. I've never heard a sound like that before in my life, and I've heard plenty of awful sounds. It was like a dying animal and a screaming person mixed together.

After that, there wasn't anymore noise and the fog went away. We didn't sleep after that, but the next morning we found huge gouges in the mud that looked like stick figures, and some black feathers. And a weird bundle of sticks was on top of our tent. But there weren't any footprints at all.

[Oh, well that's interesting.]

Oh, Envy is your brother?

Gotcha...that's pretty cool! I wish I could see one.

H-hold on, so- ...so it just...vanished? And you never actually saw what it was?

[....hahaha that's never a good sign, is it?]

Not by blood relation, but yes. I'm Lust.

Oh, it's nice to meet you! My name's Jimmy.

It's nice to meet you, Jimmy.

Maybe if I see you at the circus, I can tell you the other ghost story I mentioned.

Okay! I'd like that!

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

[ THAT'S NOT ANY BETTER TBH ]

Looking to avoid something that might be able to do that, more like. Ghosts, you say? I don't believe I've ever had any dealings with ghosts. I think I'd prefer to keep it that way.

[ He files away the name Shedinja for later reference. ] Well. You've been greatly useful, Mr...? [ It's not a thank-you, but it's as close to one as Jimmy's going to get. ]

They're pretty common where I'm from.

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

Yep! There are a lot of different ghost types out there. They're pretty mysterious...I don't think a whole lot is known about them.

[And what is known is...told by the people who have survived their encounters with them, it would seem.]

Oh, I'm Jimmy, Jimmy Two-Shoes!

I shall be very glad to continue not knowing about them, then. [ If more information were available, maybe he could have studied them - know thine enemy, after all. But he's certainly not about to conduct firsthand research on the subject. ]

Jimmy... Two-Shoes. [ Valmont repeats flatly. ] No. I refuse to believe that is your real name. "Vanellope von Schweetz" was bad enough, but I cannot imagine anyone's actual last name being "Two-Shoes".

[ It really is his actual last name, isn't it. Dear god. ]

[Jimmy blinks. He's had some strange reactions to his name before, but never has anyone...outright refused to believe him.]

But...that is my last name! Jimmy Two-Shoes! It's been that way for as long as I can remember.
