A Day with Allister

Scottie was walking around the outskirts of town, when [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] saw Allister at the entrance to a cave.

Gengar... Gigantamax... Swallow everything in darkness...

Phew... I guess that's all for today.

H-huh?

Aaaaaaaaaaah!

Oh... Thank goodness... I thought you were a stranger for a moment there...

H-huh? What am I doing here? Well...I was training with Gengar. This cave is perfect for it.

I-I'm not good with strangers...and Gengar could swallow people up when he's Gigantamaxed...

They say a Gengar's mouth becomes a passage to the afterlife when it's Gigantamaxed.

This is just a rumor, but they say a Gengar's mouth becomes a passage to the afterlife when it's Gigantamaxed...

The afterworld, the spectral plane... There are many names for it...

But I know it exists, because I've been there before.

When I was four years old, I was badly hurt in an accident and found myself wandering near death's doorstep...

I think Pokémon led me back to the world of the living...

And perhaps I came back through a Gigantamax Gengar's mouth.

At least...that's what I believe.

Ever since that accident, ghost Pokémon started following me around.

W-well... Not really.

Yeah, s-some of them like to play tricks on people, so it's actually kind of fun.

Lots of people might think that ghost Pokémon are scary...

But really, the reason why they spook people is because they're scared, too!

They're living in a world they're not originally from, so they have to follow different rules... Being different can be scary, after all.

That's probably why they like to stay invisible and only come out at night... Because they're scared of humans.

I can tell...because I'm like that, too...

But I also want to learn from all the sync pairs here on Pasio.

I want to face my fears together with Gengar.

S-so, um...if you don't mind...would you help us out?

Th-thank you! Knowing you'll be with us makes me feel better already!

Th-thanks! I...I want to be more like you and make more friends from now on!
