>You wipe your hands of pumpkin guts as you finish your carving.
>Out of practice as you were, the process took around an hour, but you were happy with the result.
>Staring back at you was the roughly made smirk of a gengar.
>You haven’t carved a pumpkin in years, never really enjoyed the process even as a kid.
>Pumpkin guts were kinda gross.
>But with all the Pokémon craziness going on right now you expect the festivities to be extra special this go around, and figured you’d do one up for the fun of it.
>You pick up the pumpkin and place it down on your front porch, lighting the candle inside to get a peek at how it would look illuminated.
>Satisfied, you were about to head in before you noticed another, rather strange pumpkin on the other side of the door.
>You definitely didn’t place that there.
>It had two holes carved on the front, and what looked like black fur spilling out from the top?
>Strange. Probably some Pokémon you weren’t aware of. You were going to leave it alone and head inside, but a strange feeling of curiosity got a hold of you.
>You went to take a closer look before light flashed out from the carved holes.
>You were befuddled for a moment, rubbing the stars from your eyes, before trying to remember what you were about to do.
>Oh, that’s right. You needed to go out and get more pumpkins to carve. The little one here needed more friends after all!
>Five more? No, ten sounded better. Heck, maybe twenty.
>You walked to your car to head back to town to gather your supplies.
>As you pulled out, the pumpkaboo peeked an eye open before waddling over to hug the gengar pumpkin, falling back to sleep.
