A frightening place where all the worst stories originate.
Home to Ghost and Dark type pokémon, you may find a rare Psychic type, but only the bravest dare tread here.

Round One

A friendly; but nervous; Abra teleports you and Rosalinda to the edge of Gravey's Yard. A wrought iron fence surrounds the area and you can see a little forestry inside along with the cemetery itself. The Abra has left before you can thank him, but shrugging, you head for the gates. A chain is wrapped through the gates with a heavy padlock over them preventing you from getting in. With the sun setting in the west it'll be dark soon and that's when all the ghosts come out. A Poochyena is nearby, playing in the dirt.




What's your next move?

[BTPoke]

*lol@camper sprite*

perhaps we can ask this little poochyena for help.

Round Two

You approach the Poochyena and it stops scratching to look at you.



"Hey little guy, do you know why the gate is locked?"

He looks at the big lock on the gate then back at you.

"Gruff. I saw two shadowy things locking the gate earlier. They took the key inside with them. Gruff!"


- Shadowy things?
- Do you know any other way in?
- Try to find a way yourself

[BTPoke]

well, do you happen to know a way in?

Round Three

"Do you happen to know a way in?"



"I sure do. Follow me!"

The Poochyena scampers off and you give chase. After a brief run, he stops next to the fence where you can see a hole has been dug that leads underneath the barrier and into Grave's Yard. It looks to be just about big enough for you to squeeze through. You get down on your knees when the Poochyena pipes up again.

"The gate got locked for a reason! I wouldn't go in there if I were you!"

- Ulp..maybe we should reconsider
- I've got me knees dirty, I can't turn back now!

[BTPoke]

eh, what's the worst that can happen? I'm going in.

Round Four

You crawl under the fence and stand up on the other side.

"Now you're in for it! Eeheeheehee!"

You turn to look behind you where the funny voice came form but there is nothing there. Poochyena is also gone, only a thin wisp of black smoke where it was. The sun is almost gone beneath the horizon now and it's starting to get quite dark. You can just make out a path leading further up to the graves. Rosalinda shivers slightly as you start to follow the path. You don't go very far before you spot some pokemon.

A Nuzleaf is whittling something out of a chunk of wood and two Drifloon are floating silently, watching the moon rise.




- Approach the Drifloon
- Approach the Nuzleaf
- Continue along the path
- Look for a light source to help you see

[BTPoke]

we should approach the drifloon and find out what's going on around here.

Round Five




The two Drifloon don't react when you come to stand next to them. You stare at the moon rising for a bit, then ask them what's going on.

"It's a full moon tonight."
"We like full moons."
"When there's a full moon, special things happen."
"Do you like the moon human?"

- I love the moon!
- I'm more of a sun person
- What kind of special things?

[BTPoke]

you kidding? I love the moon! I love being alone under the moon, just staring up into the night sky.

Round Six

"You do like the moon?"
"Well I guess that's good"
"It means we don't have to kill you."

The two Drifloon float ominously in the air for a second before a chilling wind blows them up the path and into the shadows. You look around and see the Nuzleaf has just perfected his flute and is playing an eerie tune. The song seems to be ushering in a fine mist that coats the ground you walk on. Before you can speak to him, he stops playing and scuttles off into a bush, vanishing from sight and sound. You and Rosalinda are left alone in the dark and mist. A whispering melody plays in the air, and you see a faint glow just over the mound. A squawk from a bird distracts you momentarily, and you ponder your next move.

- Kill me!? Maybe we should leave..
- Check out the light
- Find that annoying bird

[BTPoke]

ook, that was weird. let's check the light.

Round Seven

You ignore the annoying bird and go towards the light. It gets brighter as you approach and the music gets louder, you finally find yourself standing on the edge of a small gathering of pokemon. A Stunky and a Poochyena are cuddling close together, and a Gastly is swaying back and forth in time with the music. You can't see the source, but in the centre of the pokemon is a shiny blue Litwik dancing as majestically as a small candle pokemon can. The Poochyena sniffs the air and spots you. It's growling wakes the Gastly from it's swaying and the pokemon turns to stare directly at you. It's eyes are filled with anger at being disturbed, but the Litwik just carries on dancing.




- Reason with the pokemon
- Attack!
- RUN AWAY!

[BTPoke]

ummmm... am I interrupting something? hehe...

Whisper: rosalinda, get ready to run...

Round Eight

Your hesitant questioning doesn't seem to fly with the Gastly, who let's out a blood curdling scream and sends a pulse of energy as black as the night at you. Rosalinda leaps in front of it to protect you and takes the hit square in the cehst. You grab the pokemon and make a break for it, running past the Gastly and further up the hill. A furtive glance behind and you see the Gaslt is giving chase! Crap! You keep running and head into a forested area. The trees are close and the branches scratch at your face and body. It's darker still in here with the moonlight not quite penetrating the canopy, leaving only beams of silver light shining through. Gastly doesn't seem to have followed you into the forest, so you're safe... for now. Sighing with relief you look further into the forest. You can just make out a Murkrow building a nest on a nearby tree.



- Approach the Murkrow
- Explore the forest
- Go back to the main path

[BTPoke]

ook, maybe we can ask the murkrow what the heck is going on. get ready to run, though, just in case.

Round Nine

You approach the Murkrow who acknowledges your presence but continues to build its nest



"Sorry... I'd love to stop and chat.. but I have to build this nest... don't mind me..."

You ask the Murkrow about the weird events, dancing pokemon, over eager ghosts, disappearing pooches, moon loving drifloon. Just what exactly is happening tonight?

"Oh that... the ghost pokemon love a full moon.. i guess it's something to do with gravitational forces? I don't know what that means...whenever there's a full moon... all the ghosts get together for a big celebration... in the middle of the forest... and then something big takes place... like... i don't know. Us non ghosts... we don't take part... so I can't really say."

Grimacing, you thank the Murkrow and wander deeper into the forest. Soon it's too dark to see anything; not even your hand in front of your face; and you are forced to stop. There is nothing around as far as you can see. Time to stop and think.


- Go forward
- Go back
- Something else?

[BTPoke]

let's keep going. Rosalinda, use will o wisp to create a dim flame. bright enough to see, dim enough to not be seen.

Round Ten

Rosalinda summons a small flame that hovers in the air above you. It lights enough of the forest for you to see where you're walking, but isn't so bright as to alert anyone that you're there. You continue to walk through the forest until you come across two pokemon sat on the floor, playing what can only be described as woodland chess. Tiny pieces made from rock and wood float in the air, and are moved telepathically by the two pokemon. A faint drumming can be heard from further into the forest.



- Approach the Gothita
- Approach the Kadabra
- Do deeper into the forest

[BTPoke]

well, they're not ghost types, so they might be cool. let's go and try talking to them. see if they know more about what's going on around here.

Round Eleven

You approach both pokemon and suddenly become aware of voices and images in your head stating odd combinations of letters, numbers and punctuation.

Qh5?! Nc6
Bc4 Nf6??

"Um, excuse me? Sorry I don't mean to disturb you."

The Kadabra looks up and nods, before moving a piece in line with another.

*Checkmate*

The Gothita mumbles something incoherent and slumps down defeated. The Kadabra whisks away the pieces into a small wooden case and the case vanishes.

*Greetings human, what brings you and your pokemon this deep into the woods on this, of all nights?*

"Well that's it really. What exactly is so special about this night? I can't get a straight answer from ghosts, and dark types seem to be vague. Do you know?"

*Of course. A full moon occurs every fourteen or so days, and the ghosts use it as a marker to record a change in their clan's life cycle. I would liken it to a human's day they celebrate their birth, but pokemon have a unique ageing process that humans do not. Do you understand?*

- Uh, no I'm afraid I don't
- Yes I understand what you mean
- Too confusing... Attack!

[BTPoke]

sure, I can understand a bit, but what does that have to do with them acting weird to the point of one of them attacking me? Is it a territorial type of thing, or what?

Round Twelve



*You're asking me why ghosts are acting weird and playing tricks on you? You don't have to be psychic to work that out my friend*

The Gothita pipes up.



*We all used to go to the ceremony, but the ghosts started to get overly eager and expected gifts and stuff. If you refused, or didn't impress them enough, then they'd pick on you. Since all the non-ghosts stopped attending, the ghosts have taken to dettering everyone who might turn up.*

*If you intend to go to the ceremony, you'll need to offer something of value or interest to the ghosts, so they wont throw you out.*

- Look for a gift
- Go to the ceremony anyway

[BTPoke]

hmmm... what would be interesting to a ghost? let's go look for something. I need to think about what might be a good offering.

Round Thirteen

You head into the woods slowly, thinking about what might be a good gift for a ghost. Something shiny? Maybe some nice accessories? No, these are all stupid ideas. Rosalinda looks equally bemused.

*Hey, human! Ralts! Wait up*



Gothita appears to have been following you and wants your attention. You stop to hear her out.

*That Kadabra back there is teaching me to be a quiet psychic type that respects others. Pssh, I wanna have some fun!*

You raise an eyebrow at the remark.

*Ahem. What I mean is. Those ghosts played a pretty mean trick on me, and I want to get my own back on them. Will you help me?*

- Help her
- Keep looking for a gift

[BTPoke]

maybe we can do that later. for now I need to find an acceptable gift for the ghosts.

Round Fourteen



*Well fine, be like that. If you change your mind you know where to find me*

Gothia scampers off leaving you and Rosalinda alone. You take a little walk again to ponder over your thoughts. Suddenly you realise it's a little lighter than before. You see a full moon above you and realise you've walked out of the forest and into the main part of Grave's Yard. The mist from before covers the ground, and several rows of tomb stones are lined up in front of you. Looking through them all, you see names that seem familiar but you can't quite place them.

Charizard04621
Numbers were her thing

Hypotenuse Man
He was weird, even for us

ASHarris13
Old School like the old school

You carry on until you spot one that gives you the chills.

BTPoke
He tried

You step up to it cautiously, when a pokemon leaps out of the hole and snarls at you.




- Reason with it
- Attack!
- Run Away!

[BTPoke]

you know, the freaky part about this is that Absol only appears when disasters are about to happen. o.o

Round Fifteen

You non-chalanty ask Absol how things are going.



Absol snarls and bites at you, it doesn't look like it's interested in hearing your words. He lets out a powerful howl that echoes around the graveyard, bouncing off every surface and ringing in yours and Rosalina's ears. You try to move away, but a mean look from Absol freezes you in your tracks.


- Reason with Absol again
- Attack!
- Call for help!

[BTPoke]

okay, looks like he doesn't want to chat. We've gotta fight this thing (in retrospect, maybe coming to this place with a psychic type wasn't the best idea)

Rosalinda, use confuse ray, then hit him with two signal beams!

[BTPoke]

little reminder for razor

aka bump

Round Sixteen



Stuck fighting against Absol, Rosalinda leaps into action. She unleashes a burst of sparkling lights and sounds that dazzle and daze Absol, leaving the dark type to mistakenly trip over its own feet in confusion. Eating dirt, Absol is hit in the face with another burst of light, this time one that comes with a dull vibration like the beating wings of an insect swarm. Absol growls and slashes Rosalinda with a ghostly claw. Ralts takes a step back before sending another signal beam at the Absol. He retaliates with quick flick of the tail that slaps Rosalinda on the side of the head and knocks her over. Absol's only let down is that he doesn't know when to stop, and ends up spinning himself around again and falling over.

- Reason with Absol again
- Continue to attack!
- Call for help!
- Try to flee!

[BTPoke]

use a flash, then use two more signal beams. use teleport to dodge attacks when needed

also, razor, I'm sorry if I annoyed you at all.

Round Seventeen




Rosalinda lets out a little chirp before emitting a brilliant light that blinds the Absol. It staggers a little before letting out a powerful howl that bounces off every surface around the battlers. The little black Ralts lets loose another beam of light and sound that hits the Absol in the face, but he quickly recovers and spits a ghostly blue flame at his enemy. The flames dances around a little. before encircling Rosalina and burning her badly. She yelps, but finds the strength to attack Absol once more. Absol only takes half the attack, as it moves quickly to attack Rosalinda from the side. As it moves away from the grave it was guarding, something shiny glitters in the dug out hole.

- Continue to attack!
- Call for help!
- Try to flee!
- Ooh shiny!

[BTPoke]

Rosalinda, use hypnosis to put it to sleep! then hit it with more signal beams. I'm gonna go see what this shiny thing is (Pretty pretty shiny shiny)

Round Eighteen




The Absol moves closer to Rosalinda, but that's just what she needs. She catches the gaze of the Absol, and wills it to sleep. The dark type falls over and starts snoring, giving you the chance to sneak around to your own grave and look at what's hidden inside. You reach down whilst your pokemon blasts the sleeping Absol with repeated Signal Beams. A little buried in dirt is a chest of somekind. The lock has been picked already, so you can open it up. Inside are a few assorted items. A small hard rock that's bright gold, a little woollen doll with buttons for eyes, a black Polaroid with a circle drawn on the back and the number 1998 in the corner. You ponder what they could be, but hear Absol stirring. It'll wake up pretty soon, but whilst it's out, it's grip on you has faded and you can escape if necessary. You've enough time to grab one of the items if you intend to run, so decide quickly.


- Take one of the items and flee
- Stick around to fight the Absol
- Lie down in your grave and admit defeat..

[BTPoke]

Lolnope, i'm gonna stay here, fight, and take ALL the items. you all set for that, Rosalinda?

Alright, keep up with the signal beams until it wakes up. once it does wake up, use confuse ray, then thunder wave (yay parafusion), then keep up with the signal beams.

Round Nineteen



Deciding to stick it out and take all of Absol's treasure, you command Rosalinda to attack further. Another Signal Beam hits Absol in the face and rouses him from his sleep. He growls at Rosalinda and taunts her so viciously that she can barely move for shock, let alone attack. Absol spies you with the treasure chest in your arms, the demon dog sits back and lets out an ear-splitting howl. A second howl follows form somewhere in the forest, followed by.. a third howl somewhere back near the entrance. Rosalinda tries to attack with another Signal Beam, but Absol vanishes from sight and appears behind her, raking his claws across her back. A disturbance in the forest causes a flock of pokemon to fly over head, and they look pretty scared.





- Stay to fight Absol and whatever else is coming
- Call out to the fliers for help
- Call out to someone for help
- Run away!
