A Little Honesty Goes a Long Way
You think back to all those random stories with situations similar to your own and decide right away that telling the truth would be much easier in the long run. After all, you don't want to deal with the mental chaos of trying to come up with something new for every question you're not prepared for.
"Well, it's kind of a confusing story and I'm not all that sure I understand it myself," you say, shrugging your shoulders. "The last thing I remember is finding myself at some kind of supernatural warehouse full of costumes. There was a sign with a big set of rules, and I figured I had to follow those rules if I wanted to get out of there."
"Whoa, that sounds weird. I don't think there's anything like that here in Kanto." Misty comments.
"Of course it's not. I don't know what it is, but I get the feeling that if I keep following those rules, I'll find out sooner or later." You say. "What I can understand from those rules is that I need to pick a costume and it'll make me whatever I picked for about a week, and then I need to pick another costume. It'll keep going like that, rewarding me for hitting certain milestones and each one will be better than the last."
"Wow"¦ I don't know what to think about that." Ash says. You open your mouth to respond when suddenly a strange, uneasy feeling bubbles up inside of you. You notice Ash's Pikachu tenses up too, apparently feeling the same thing. Both you and the Pikachu look over to your left, knowing trouble was about to rear its ugly head. Ash and Misty catch the look in your eye and begin to wonder what's going on.
"Huh? What's up?" Ash asks.
"We've got company, and I don't think they're here to say hi." You tell him with the hint of a growl in your voice. Pikachu joins in, jumping from Ash's shoulder and threateningly discharging small sparks.
"Who's there?" Ash demands the new arrivals.
Who indeed... why don't you pick the answer?
