Yellow walked down the streets of the city with Randy and Chuchu following her and keeping an eye out. Oddly, the demons of the city did not seem to be hanging around the area for one reason or another. The small girl was dressed up in a Witch like attire with an equally fantasy motif for her Pokemon. Yellow was wearing a Yellow Witch's hat with a Yellow Witch's dress, which was an odd color choice but it was her themeatic color or choice.  The outfit having her fishing rod acting as a type of wand with a Pokeball tip. It was definitely a more feminine attire than normal for her. Randy was wearing a fancy and fluuffy cape in a prince's crown, silently questioning how he got into this ridiculous outfit. Pikachu was wearing... well, this:



The group came up to a tower that definitely looked befitting of the name "Spooky Tower". Decrepit and dully colored with what could be sworn to be someone moving in the windows and cracks of thunder from a cloud that... was oddly focusing on this tower. Hopefully it dies not start raining here when it comes to leaving. Still, Yellow turned around to wait for the others that were coming to help her look, especially Blue ho she has not spoken with much in a while ever since... that Yoshi episode.

Unknown to the girl, she was being watched from the shadows, being expertly hidden in the darkness by some... guy... A Shy Guy that was wearing two masks and dressed in black. He watched her arrive and took special interest in that map. Looks like the Shy Bandit has found his next mark.

Except he is 3D and without the straw

Cynthia was quickly Running through this poisoned City with Lucario, Quickly darting through as she covered her eyes with a White and Pink Beanie representing Dawn's Hat, As Lucario was dressed like...




Oh yeah. That nerd. Wonder what happened to him. Regardless, Lucario would  be hopping back and forth, Sighing lightly as Cynthia stopped when she bumped into something, gulping. "Please dont be one of those spooky demons that people say are everywhere around here and eat people..." Cynthia would say, as she peeked her hat up to see-- AGH, COBBELSTONE ARCHETECTURE!! Oh wait, That was just the Spooky Tour, Cynthia Un-ruffled her Beautifull blonde locks with a pocket brush, Sighing haoppily, as Soon, Milotic, Painted in the spiffing image of a Serperior, Which would probably confuse most people once it starts shooting ice and water everywhere. 

And then there was Garchomp...Who was dressed in a Frilly, Massive dress, With a Tiara to boot., looking like a Draconic Iris. Of course she is. Dont Judge her, Dragons can be princesses too! They'll kidnap themselves.

Regardless, Cynthia would circle the tower for a bit, to find Yellow standing there, Her own pokemon dressed for this spooky occasion. What a cute trainer! Cynthia smiled, walking over to her warmly. "Hello there! You must be Yellow?" She would say, Happily admiring her pokemon as well. "I like your Costumes! I went for more Cosplay's myself...Though, i think this youthfull trainer look suits me, Dont you~?"

Yeah, Sure. More like you have a unhealthy crush on Dawn, Ya' Mom.

Click, click. The sound of high heels on pavement could be heard, heralding the arrival of the group's newest guest. The strikingly beautiful young lady in a rather cute cosplay ever so innocently brushed up against Cynthia.

"A beautiful young lady like you could make anything look good~!"
Blue flirted in a mildly suggestive tone, turning her head up at Cynthia and winking at the other in a playful manner.

Blue then gently bumped hips with Cynthia in an equally playful manner, perhaps drawing attention to the rhythmic and deliberate way she swung hers with each step as she meandered her way over to Yellow, leaning into the other and cupping her cheeks in an affectionate manner. There was a toned down playfulness with Yellow, replaced with a tenderness and familiarity. "...And you... look gorgeous." Blue softly remarked before slipping her arms down around Yellow's back and pulling her into a sweet, innocent hug. Sometimes she felt intensely guilty about having taught Yellow not to be comfortable with her femininity. She'd done it to protect her from boys that might take advantage of or mistreat her. They'd grown up in a world where a lot of people wouldn't take you seriously if you said you were on your own pokemon journey and happened to be a girl. But even though it had only been a few years since that time, things had already begun to change! Blue herself had become the first female indigo champion, much as Cynthia had become the first over in Sinnoh. Iris and White in Unova. Black in the World Tournament. Their successes had given rise to a new age of girl power and the idea that girls were to be taken lightly was on the decline! Her victory over Green and Red at Indigo Plateau should have empowered Yellow, but often times she wondered if the other was stuck in the past. Sure those types were still around, but much less of a realistic concern than back in the day. She was too old for that silly disguise! Too old to be ashamed of her body! Or at least, that was Blue's concern anyway.

She was doing her best to be more encouraging and seeing Yellow like this gave her comfort and faith that she hadn't screwed up too badly. "I wish we could've looked this good when we made our debut at Indigo Plateau, y'know?" --Say, what was their mission again?

Behind Blue was her pokemon, just kind of chilling out in their own getups. Jiggly was wearing Blue's hat, Skitty was wearing a pretty gross looking hockey mask and Blasty? Woah. Blasty was the only one that looked like any effort had been put into his getup. And he was... Bowser. It was a pretty damn strong cosplay if you ignored the blue or the shoulder canons.

	Blue 125 / 125 HP 35 / 35 Shield Status: Normal		Blasty 185 / 185 HP 65 / 65 Shield Status: Normal
	Jiggly 115 / 115 HP 30 / 30 Shield Status: Normal		"Skiller" Skitty 125 / 125 HP 35 / 35 Shield Status: Normal

The Shy Bandit and Yellow heard a bump near them which caused them to stop for a moment... To only breathe a sigh of relief as one was not noticed and the other noticed it was just a tall girl in... interesting attire. Tall compared to her rather short height at the very least. Though she looked familiar... Oh yeah, Cynthia, the champion of Sinnoh... and was she dressed like Dawn, another champion from there? She only really recalled seeing pictures of the other champion from there since Cynthia seemed to be the one that traveled more. Though Cynthia's question made Yellow a bit flustered at the way she worded it. "Y-yeah, I'm Yellow. Th-thank you, it's... very nice. Me and my team wanted to go for a Fantasy Theme. This prince is Randy and this beauty is Chuchu," Yellow replied as she recovered from the initial meeting. The Herdier was staring for a moment like a deer in the headlights despite not being acknowledged before looking away. Chuchu seemed to imitate a curtsy to outdo the social issue of the dog despite him being human and in mock prince attire.

Was not that long until her familiar friend's voice came and... gave Cynthia a rather big compliment. She was unsure how to feel at first what with Blue's personality until Blue showed that up by greeting the girl. The doubts that came with the Team Rocket Mission they were on before washed away for a moment as she turned a bright red for a moment. "Th-th-th-th-th-th-th-" Yellow tried to utter out a reply but seemed to get stuck on her own weakness. Randy looked away for a moment before giving a nudge to the girl to get her vocabulary muscles a reboot. "Thanks, Blue. You are looking... amazing," Yellow stated, while Chuchu just stared at that Skitty's creepy mask... What was up with that costume?

...

Randy noticed Yellow seemed to forget what they were here for because of Blue...Sigh, looks like he'll have to speak up. "... Yellow, the map..." the Herdier spoke up, potentially startling anyone that did not already know who he was or knew Pokemon that could speak... Which may be pretty small here. "Huh? Oh right! The map had some clues to getting up the tower and past the traps," Yellow snapped out of it and pulled out a map from a pouch on her hip. Bingo. Suddenly a black flash leapt through the air and snatched the map straight from Yellow's hands and darted to the doors that marked the entrance to the tower. As it stopped, a black shy guy appeared that was followed up by a note being launched right into Yellow's Witch's hat. It seemed to be a calling card for a... Shy Bandit? As a Shy Guy with two masks appeared. "What just..?" Yellow said as the map was taken faster than she could notice.

"Swifter than a black cat leaping nimbly onto it's prey in the darkest of nights, my strikes can not be told by any guy or gal," the... Shy Guy said, trying way too hard to sound like a really cool ninja. He is fast though, you can tell that. A Shy Guy with two masks in more grey attire appeared next to him. "The Shy Bandit has found his mark! Now the treasure is ours! Don't even try to keep up!" He proclaimed as they pushed the doors open and rushed on ahead. "... Did... that really just happen?" Randy questioned aloud.

Cynthia turned to see a rather Cutely dressed Girl, Complimenting how young Cynthia looked. Now there's a girl that understands its not the clothes that make the girl~! Cynthia gasped, Nodding happily to Blue's comment as she admired Blue's Own costume. Quite cute! "Well thank you~! Im quite fond of the person who wears this outfit, So~" Cynthia said, smiling as she watched the two come together for a heart-warming hug. Cynthia watched, blushing as she couldn't help but internally Squee at the Yur-i, Resulting in Milotic, Lucario and Garchomp all collectively sighing at there gay-loving master.

Regardless, Cynthia walked closer to them both, Happily smiling. "Well now! Im sorry i came along to ruin your date, you two~ Hope im not too embrassing~" Cynthia would tease in a joking way, Smiling happily as she- HEY, SOMEONE STOLE THE MAP!

Cynthia didnt seem to mind the pokemon Talking, there was enough of that in cynthia's life, So, It wouldn't deserve that much strangeness to her, She was more concerned about how the map got taken! Cynthia pointed forward. "Lucario, Quick Attack!" she would say, as the only Male in Cynthia's team would dart forward, Launching himself at them Until...Smacking unto the top of the tower door, flopping down, letting them get away.

Lucario walked over to Cynthia, Pouting sadly as Cynthia sighed, Petting lucario's head. "I-its okay..."

[Mari]

Blue giggled, draping herself around Yellow's shoulder and posing for Cynthia with the other. She shook her head slightly in bewilderment. Who just assumed two girls were gay like that?? They'd be wrong so often... Were they really that obvious?? Blue flashed the Sinnoh champ a knowing smile. "Don't be so modest! The triangle is the strongest shape in nature, after all~" she remarked in a subtly suggestive tone. Hi, I'm the girl your mom warned you about. Don't adopt me because that might force me to stop flirting so much.

...Before Blue could playfully tease Cynthia any harder though, some weird nonsense went down. Blue was ... not amused. " . . . Looks like someone's putting the trick in trick or treat. I hope he's ready for my tricks~" Blue remarked. Sounds like she wanted to go after him.

"D-date?" Yellow asked, looking a bit flushed again before Randy spoke up. "We can talk about Yellow's flusteredness later, we should be following them before they get the treasure first," Randy agreed with Blue as Chuchu was already running into the tower with Yellow nodding and following Randy inside. With them all inside the tower, the doors shut tight behind them suddenly, as predictable a tower this was. However, the Shy Guys were nowhere to be seen as they were in a room with 6 different doors around the room, all of different colors. The right side had a Yellow Door and a Blue Door, ahead of them was a green and red door, and to the left were a black door and a purple door.

The room was fairly small with different portraits hanging on the walls. There were pictures of various humans, none really noteworthy and may just be stock photos... Like this painting of different Dog Pokemon playing Poker... Anyway, there was also a flower pot in this room sitting on a table in the corner, and a supply of jars between the blue and yellow doors. Also of note was a chandelier above the room. It looks like there was some puzzle to be had here but the Shy Guys had the map that supposedly had clues to this place's lookouts. Well, perhaps they can just try trial and error or take a moment to look around.

After Sure her Lucario's Boo-Boo was taken care of, Cynthia smiled happily at the sight of Yellow being so flustered by Cynthia's date Comment. Oh come on, no need to be so flustered over the idea of loving girls! Cynthia loved girls a bit too much herself. Perhaps she just auto-assumed a bit too much. Regardless, cynthia would give a Knowing Giggle to Blue and Yellow. "Sorry, Perhaps i was a bit too presumptuous~" Cynthia would tease, as she went inside, Garchomp giving a Growl as Cyntia could sense Garchomps aura to gauge what exactly she was saying.

"W-what do you mean i should stop pairing people??" Cynthia would ask, before the door slammed shut rather rudely on her butt! "We'll discuss that later...As for now, Looks like we have a Puzzle to solve." Cynthia said, walking over to the Portraits of people...They all seemed quite generic, but at the same time, Something about them seemed like they might be usefull...And then Those Jars also seemed worth while, As she inspected to see if there was anything inside. It seemed quite open to interpretation!


"Well...Any idea where to start?"
