and the mystery keeps on a-growin'...

An odd broadcast appears on the Gear that night:

DAY 26/11. 23:56.

It seemed as though a spare pokégear has been connected to the network, the identification labeled as 'TEST' under Trainer ID 0000000. The view was from a low angle, most of the screen showing a dark green floor and a plain gray wall. Suddenly, there's a whisper of a 'poof', and two sets of feet, clad in sneakers and slacks, run past the screen.

"Professor! Professor! There's been another sighting--it's in Blackthorn!"

"Blackthor--??" Elm began to repeat, but his voice immediately halted.

As it faded, view of the white wall was obstructed by a large, metal shape. There was a sparking sound, before the soft whirring of a machine powering down. A new set of feet appeared on screen, old worn, comfortable shoes, making a calm but brisk stride towards the silver being.

"Ah..." The voice belonged to Professor Oak. "...so this is it."

"Eh!?" Elm's voice echoed in the background. "So that's--"

A flash of light engulfed the room, the screen flashing a complete white. As both professors yelped in shock, the view suddenly went black as the connection terminated.

Fourth Wall is now over!
Thank you for participating, everyone!


Pokégears and clocks once again register the proper time and date. The background music returns, and everything quickly drifts back to the spastic familiarity that this world has to offer. You may find yourself waking up in a location you don't remember falling asleep in, possibly still wondering if this is a dream or not.

This footage is the only physical reminder of these past three days. There is no way to respond, no identification tied directly to that gear, and despite the recognizable voices, the professors will deny any knowledge of the video's existence. Did it truly exist?

...in addition, Professor Elm's office will be closed for the next few weeks.

Now, back to battling with you all!


P.S. Don't forget we've got the Thanksgiving Tornado on its way!
Happy (American) Thanksgiving, Route!
