Oh, that would be a lot of fun. Or maybe we could try taking your yacht somewhere? Even if we don’t go all the way to a different region, a small trip could be nice.

Yeah! I like that idea. We just need to plan on where to go.

In the meantime, I think everyone's done with their food... so should we go shopping or walk around and take in the sights a bit?

[ Finishing her drink, Fluttershy nods. ] I don’t mind taking our time, so we can look around a bit before shopping.

I believe there's a walking trail around here. I thought it might be nice to do that and see all of the tree turning.

Oh yes, that would be lovely! I love seeing all the colors on the trees during the fall.

Maybe we can take some selfies too. Put them in our photoalbum and scrap book.

[The rest of his team seem excited for the aspect, even if Oba's dozing off from all of the food. Usi and Chen are definitely on board though.

So the group heads over to the walking trail and Marik makes the bold move of wrapping his arm around Shy's as they begin walking down the path.]

Even after all of my time here, it's still incredible seeing the seasons change like this...

Oh, that’s a lovely idea!

[ Fluttershy enjoys capturing moments to remember.

The arm around her surprises her a little, but she smiles and leans a bit into him as they walk. ]

Isn’t it pretty? I love all the colors during fall.

[It's an excuse to do cute couple things together so he'll take every opportunity he can get.]

It really is. It feels almost... other worldly in a way.

We should take some fallen ones for your scrapbook.

[ She is more than happy to do all those things with him. ]

Oh yes! Maybe we can have our Pokemon pick the leaves to put in the scrapbook.

Yeah! That sounds—

[And here comes Usi, waddling with a huge armful of leaves and a big grin.]

We can't keep all of those, Usi.

[The Gengar ignores his trainer's answer and turns to Fluttershy for her approval instead.]

[ Fluttershy giggles softly. ]

We can’t use all of them for the scrapbook, but maybe we can find other uses for them.

[Normally he'd throw them at Marik.

But Miss Fluttershy is here, which means he needs to behave. He instead, Usi just places one leaf on Oba's head. The Goomy looks excited and babbles about how dapper he must look now!]

I mean, if you want to carry all of those while we walk, you're more than welcome to...

[And they continue on, Usi waddling after them but occasionally showing Shy and Marik particular leaves from the pile to get their opinion if he should keep them. Allegra and Archie receive particularly pretty leaves to hold on to as well.]

I have to say, I'm impressed. He's always so well behaved around you and your pokémon...

[ Another giggle, and Fluttershy assures Oba that he looks very dapper.

As they walk, Fluttershy gives her opinions on the leaves when asked, and Allegra and Archie accept the leaves gratefully. ]

Aww, really? [ He glances back over at Usi and smiles. ] I think he might know I’m usually afraid of ghosts, so he tries to be on his best behavior.

I did drill it into his head that you were but you have been around him since he was a Gastly and before he became a gremlin like he is now.

I should expect it but it always surprises me. I don't know why.

[Usi, unintentionally dropping all of the leaves, places his hands on his sides and puffs out his chest.

... Then panics because he dropped all of his leaves! Marik just shakes his head. Chenzira snickers softly from his spot over Marik's shoulder.]

Hmm. The boys need matching costumes with us... Oba can be a Litwick, Usi can wear a fancy tux, and Chen can have a little knight helmet to go with me maybe?

[He looks to Archie and Allegra with a smile.]

Do you two want to match outfits too?

Well, being around him has helped a lot.

[ Archie also snickers a little, but Allegra and Petunia help Usi gather his leaves again.

Though the question does have the Cinderace and Audino pause a moment before they answer. ]

Archie wants a tux too, and Allegra wants to wear a princess dress.

He was so well behaved back then...

[Marik lets out a dramatic sigh as Usi makes a very familiar expression to him once he's gathered up his leaves again.

The tomb keeper decides to ignore it as best he can.]

Now that he isn't though, I'm glad Chen's around to show you that some ghost-types are docile.

[He smiles at Shy's two pokémon.]

Perfect. We can look for their costumes too when we head to the store!

[After a little while of walking through the trail, it leads them back into Celadon. Marik looks around at where it's put them and hums in thought.

Usi has sorted through most of the leaves he wants to keep, seemingly tucking them into hammerspace, then happily throws the rest up in the air once they've excited.

Marik knows very well that if Shy hadn't of been with him, he'd have thrown all of the leaves soley at him.]

Hoo, that was nice walk... We all ready to go shopping now?

[ Fluttershy giggles softly at the face Usi makes. ]

Oh yes. Plus I have a couple of my own ghost Pokemon too.

[ Two of them had been left to her by a friend who wasn’t around anymore, and one she had actually caught on her own. But she’s slowly been opening up more to the idea of Ghost Pokemon, even if she’s still afraid of a lot of them.

Petunia trills happily as Usi throws the leaves into the air, running around him and batting at them as they fall. ]

I think so.

I know! You've made really great progress.

[Marik has the idea of getting her a Yamask for Christmas, along with plenty of other gifts, of course. Yamask are the perfect temperament for her to help Shy get more comfortable with ghosts.

Usi does a particularly Marik sounding cackle as he spins around as the leaves fall around them, then trundles up to his trainer with a big grin.]

Maybe they'll be selling hot cocoa or something in the food court too to help us warm up!

[Oba's eyes light up and he babbles to Marik. Chen knows he doesn't need to translate when Shy's around but still mutters softly from his spot on his trainer's shoulder: "'smallows..."]

Yes, with marshmallows too, Oba.

[The Goomy vibrates excitedly as they begin to head to the Department Store. The various store fronts are already decorated with Halloween themed things. (Which absolutely delights the Gengar, of course.) They eventually head into the costume store and Marik begins looking around.]

Hmm. Even if we find something close, we could take it to my tailor and have it altered to fit our theme better. If... you're okay with that, that is.

[ Fluttershy smiles sheepishly, though still looks a little pleased as he says so. ] Th-Thanks. It has been nice getting to know them.

[ Some of them are still pretty scary, but some of them can be really cute and sweet too.

Petunia trills again, pouncing on some of the leaves on the ground before running up to keep pace with the rest of the group. ]

Oh, that would be really nice. Some hot cocoa with this weather would just be lovely.

[ She giggles at the Goomy's excitement. It was so cute to see him so eager.

As she looks around the costumes as well, Fluttershy hums thoughtfully. ]

That wouldn't be a good idea, actually. Sometimes store bought costumes aren't, um... always the best quality. So if we find something close, it couldn't hurt to fix it up a bit.

[He'd just get his tailor to make their costumes but he knows Shy gets a bit uncomfortable when he splurges on her.]

Hmm. Then let's keep an eye out for something of better quality. Maybe we'll get lucky and things will be close enough we can piece it together.

[Thankfully, with this being the pokémon world, finding pokémon inspired costumes is quite easy. The costumes for the pokémon themselves might be a bit more challenging.

Except he immediately finds a smaller princess dress perfect for Allegra. He holds it up.]

It's even purple and white.

That sounds like a good idea.

[ It isn't too difficult to find Pokemon-based costumes at all. Fluttershy is considering one of the Chandelure costumes when Marik points out the princess dress. ]

Oh, that one is lovely! [ She glances towards her Audino. ] What do you think, Allegra?

[ Allegra trills happily, clapping her hands together excitedly. ]

[The Egyptian grins.]

One down then!

[But he notices what Shy's looking at, so with the dress for Allegra draped over his arm, he heads over to his girlfriend.]

Ooh, that's a really nice one! The color scheme is really nice.

[ She a pleased smile spreads across her face as she holds it up. ] Yeah? You think I should get this one, then?

Yeah! It's really cute and you'll look beautiful in it.

[He grins.]

Of course, you always look beautiful...

[ She blushes at that with a sheepish smile, a soft laugh on her lips. ]

Oh, thank you. You don't have to say that, though.
