#solve the mystery and get your own beloved Pokemon back

[theanoninyourinbox]

I did NOT finish the Halloween Pokemon challenge AT ALL but I like this guy as is so...tada

Masqueon, the Haunting Pokemon, "evolves" from Eevee or Umbreon, either equipped with a Golden Mask. Said to be the ghost of a Pokemon, whose beloved trainer was murdered. They roam the halls of the Old Manor House, looking for the evidence that will prove who killed their master...

Emmet strikes me as a blanket hog while Ingo is the complete opposite

have some short scenarios

▲Ingo▼

It was always something in the mornings when you and Ingo awoke. The dark duvet covered you both when you went to sleep, but somewhere in the night, it managed to get off from Ingo despite him preferring to sleep in a cuddling position. You had many theories as to why this happened, ranging from you accidentally moving it in your sleep to maybe one of his pokemon knocking off him. Neither of you were certain.

Well, until you woke up late one night. Ingo was moving too much next to you, and it instantly caught your attention. He twisted and lightly shower his arms until the warmth of the blanket was kicked from him. It was then he settled down and wrapped his arms back around you lazily, snores suddenly echoing from him. You wanted to laugh. The mystery was solved.

Ingo was deeply flustered when you told him about in the morning but nodded. It seemed his own suspicions had been something like that, as when he was younger, Emmet would always say he kicked off his blankets in his sleep. You finally got your chuckle out.

▽Emmet△

You shivered as you woke up in the night. It was barely a liveable hour. Gazing around the darkened room in a daze, you tried to find the missing duvet that had previously been lying on top of you. Eventually, you shifted to turn to your beloved Emmet. There, he laid wrapped up in the very thing you were searching for like a cocoon in a Galvantula's web. You sighed.

Again, he had done this. Shaking him awake, you had him whine a few times and swatting at your hand. Emmet shifted out of his sleep to turn and give a light glare at you. You pouted at him. “Blanket hog,” you told him and tugged the warm object that was denied to you. Some of it was relented, and you instantly crawled under it and next to the twin. He wrapped his arm around you, and you both found yourselves back into comforting sleep.

Until you woke up with his alarm, blanketless once again. Emmet never apologises and just shrugs. He does it in his sleep, you know, but for all is requirements to cuddle before bed and basically having you sleep on top of or under him, he definitely crawled away into his cocoon every night.

Game mashup idea

I’m the type of person who really likes relaxing non stressful games like the Harvest Moon Series, Stardew Valley, and Minecraft

but i also like games that offer some semblance of difficulty and puzzle solving like the Zelda franchise, and the Dark Cloud series

on a tangent to that i also like rpg games like Rune Factory(also technically a harvest moon game but with some different mechanics), Fire Emblem ,Final fantasy, and the ever beloved Pokemon series

and then there are the people who like “hardcore” games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Resident Evil(Biohazard), and Silent Hill

Now all these games all have their merits, their quirks, and their various difficulty curves but what if there were a game that took many of these features and incorporated them together.

Well first off you take the visceral gritty look of the Bloodborne/Dark souls series

maybe some character customization things too

next you work in a stat based level up system for skills and “magic”(use the skill build that skill) or possibly some sort of party system

then you add in the relaxing side with farming, maybe town design, character and relationship development side of games like harvest moon and Dark Cloud

lastly you add in some form story that can be followed how you please much like a few of the Zelda games (especially BoTW)

just think of what that game would be like better yet imagine the world it would take place in....

Your freshly made character is wandering about a path thru a densely fogged forest, garbed in traveler’s bags and clothing, only lightly armed with a very basic weapon or maybe not even a weapon at all.

The fog gets a slight bit thinner as you enter what seems to be a large clearing in the woods walking forward your character is suddenly attacked by some sort of vicious beast from the forest.

Do you stay and fight or do you try to duck and evade the creature.

Enter the fighting/dodging tutorial

Either option you choose the beast ends up eventually wounding you only to have a voice call out from further down the path bolts of magic or “deadly” projectiles whizz past your weakened form.

Being pelted with imminent doom the creature flees not willing to take on a mob compared to a lone traveler, from the fog enters a few townsfolk one a large gruff venerated man shouldering a rifle, another a willowy woman with bouncing blonde locks, a third a tall lanky individual wielding only a farmer’s pitchfork clearly not accustomed to fighting but looking to help.

Once the beast is fully out of sight the fog starts to lift, you are at an entryway of some sort with large cobbled posts holding a large wooden door, noticing your wounds the woman approaches with a sense of urgency,” You’re hurt, please come into town where its safe,” with a simple gesture that lanky person with the pitchfork rushes to her side to help carry you into town.

The large gruff fellow looks on to where the beast had run ,” those things are getting bolder edging ever closer to our gates, we best be on our way lest that thing bring its pack upon us,” as the four of you ease in past the gates they creak and grind shut showing some form of fortification and semblance of safety from the threats of the forest.

Wounded as you are you soon pass out.

Later you wake in some sort of inn being tended to by one of the three who had saved you and a friendly looking doctor. As you get your strength back your given a tour of this small mysterious town, and of the townsfolk who live there. Some of them are friendly and beaming, others are gruff and serious, others are soft and kind, and others are brash and insulting. These townspeople and their families have lived here in this area for ages many to afraid to leave the safety of the town due to the threat of the forest beasts. You are then shown to an abandoned property the house fairly ramshackle, the land untended, and much of what is there under a bad case of disrepair.

“The one who owned this place went out on a hunt with (our hunter) they were ambushed (somewhere in the woods...possibly plot related) and didn’t make it”

The leader/mayor of this small town visits at this moment and sees some sort of potential in you and asks you to stay allowing you this small plot of unused, uncared for land.

This begins your story

Do you stay in the safety of the town to farm and get to know the other villagers

OR

Do you venture into the woods to solve its mysteries and slay its beasts

OR

Do you follow a darker path to meet your own gains regardless of the forest or of the cowardly townsfolk?

The Choice is Yours.
