Yamask finally stayed out long enough for me to talk with him.

[After almost a year of trying to get the Pokémon who possessed him for Halloween to actually have a conversation with him, you think he'd be in a better mood. Except not, because Yamask used to be a human.]

His name's Tim Balkie, but he says that I can call him "Punk" if I want. He was 17 years old and lived in Goldenrod City. He likes listening to "punk rock" music and getting into fights, and he wanted to make it so that everyone in Johto is free and no one can tell anyone else what to do. He says he died when he got into a fight and someone hit him on the head with a baseball bat.

[Talking to the ghost of someone who died. Could this get any more depressing?]

Today's his birthday.

[It can.]

He says that he was staying in the PC Box because he'd heard that Pokémon can't die if they're in there, and he didn't want to forget about his life again like he did before we met.

[It really can.]

...I don't know how to cheer him up. I don't even know if I can. Is this even something that someone can be cheered up from?

[Anyone in Mahogany Town will be able to find him sitting under a tree with a pokéball on his lap, fiddling with the pokégear. From what it's reading aloud, he's going through the pokédex data for Yamask, specifically the moves that they can learn.]

[Even though this has happened before, Apollo didn't see it coming this time either, so he's almost as surprised as last time. The only difference this time is that he knows now that mammal-like Pokémon come from eggs, so there isn't that revelation to deal with as well.]

Furret had eggs again, this time with Firaga. Combee and Vespiquen had eggs too.

[He moves the camera to show a forest green canvas tarp with all of these on it:



Also visible are a Furret trying to comfort a Sentret who walked in on Mommy doing things with Firaga, a Growlithe who's eagerly racing around the Sentret and Growlithe eggs, sniffing and nuzzling them, a Vespiquen reclining regally among the Combee eggs with a Combee flittering around her, and a Zangoose with a twig in her mouth, pounding her fist into the palm of her other hand while glaring at an Autumn Form Sawsbuck who has a black eye as a result of being a little too pushy about getting on with this whole egg-making business with someone who's known him for less than two weeks.]

Since winter's almost here it would be better if the eggs were taken care of by someone. I don't want to have to leave them in the PC all winter if I can help it. They're okay with me giving the eggs to other people as long as they're taken good care of.

There are four Sentret eggs, two Growlithe eggs, and eight Combee eggs here. Sentret look like this [Camera focuses on the slightly traumatized Sentret.] and they evolve into Furret like this one [Camera focuses on the Furret holding the aforementioned Sentret.], Growlithe look like this [Camera focuses on the super-energetic Growlithe.], and Combee look like this [Camera focuses on the Combee tending to his queen.] and the females evolve into Vespiquen like this one [Camera focuses on the Vespiquen.]. I can have Nurse Joy send them to your PC Box at whatever PokéCenter you're closest to.

[Egg claim post is here. There are still some left, including one more fire-breathing squirrel!]

[For those who pay attention to backgrounds, Apollo's sitting against a tree near the Mahogany Town PokéCenter, turning over a standard pokéball in one hand and looking a bit worried.]

Has anyone ever met a Pokémon who didn't want to come out of their pokéball and wanted to be left in the PC Box all the time? I thought that they would all want to come out as much as they could, but he doesn't. Does this happen a lot with Pokémon?

[He opens the pokéball to release...

...a Yamask that goes flying straight for the pokéball, yelling in pokéspeak as it does.]

Put me back in the PC! I don't wanna forget again! Let me in the ball!

[Apollo swings the ball around wildly for a few seconds so that the viewers can actually see the Yamask before it returns to its ball. It finally manages to get inside after a moment of that and Apollo returns his attention back to the camera.]

I found him in the PC Box when I was in Goldenrod a while ago. I think he might be the Yamask who was controlling my body before, but I don't remember catching him. The only thing that I've been able to get him to tell me is that he's afraid of disappearing or forgetting something, so he wants to stay in the PC Box because those things won't happen there? He's like this every time I try and take him out. He won't stay out long enough for me to ask him anything else.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
