Nanu had known the abandoned Thrifty Megamart well. Even aside from having visited it many times as it was Acerola’s trial site of choice, he was familiar with the location. He could remember, however briefly, before Tapu Bulu had destroyed it in a rage. It was around the same time that it had destroyed the former Kahuna and the original Team Skull, the memory still burned in his mind. It was a damn fitting spot for a Ghost type themed trial to be held, considering how many of the things wandered aimlessly within it now.

Very few stepped foot in the store unless they needed to complete their trial. It had an ambiance that intimidated, that suggested those who came near turn back as soon as they could. Some kids would go in on a dare to prove their bravery and courage, but the Ghost Pokemon inside were mischievous. Nanu would be called down to help extract the terrified children if Acerola, for some reason, could not. Then there were the select few that were fascinated by the abandoned site. People like Acerola, who never shied away from Ghost types or their realms.

Nanu had come down to the Tapu Village for groceries. There was no viable shop nearby Po Town for obvious reasons, and thus the village was subject to weekly shopping trips. The day was a particularly grey one, something beautiful in its own sense, especially when viewed from the beach. He rested on the beach to eat lunch before returning home. It was always quiet around there, a benefit of the fearful legends surrounding the Megamart. He could see footprints in the sand leading towards the store that day, however.

It piqued his interest, admittedly. He wasn’t sure if it was Acerola or someone else, but he figured he should check it out. Knowing his luck, it was probably another foolish kid who was dared to enter by their equally foolish little friends. Nanu stood up, stretching, before setting out towards the abandoned Thrifty Megamart. The Murkrow that often frequented the outside of the store looked undisturbed as usual as they stared at Nanu with beady eyes. He stepped inside and took a look around the store from where he stood. Nothing yet.

Nanu wandered through the store quietly, his footsteps light to keep the Ghosts from drawing near. He wasn’t interested in any wild encounters today. As he rounded a corner, he was faced with a young man. He didn’t look bothered by the place at all. Nanu figured he might be one of the rare few that weren’t too bothered by the place. That, or he was really good at pretending that he wasn’t afraid.

Seems like school is causing trouble for quite a few of us!  It just always love to get in the way of having fun, doesn’t it?  Take this time to buckle down and get through this busy patch!  Hex Maniac Yokai will be on hiatus until April 29th.  We’ll see you then! Good luck!

Oh no! You’re grounded? We’ve all been there before, so don’t feel too bad about this, all right? Everyone messes up from time to time, and the important thing is to learn from this experience. Take this time to reflect on what you could do better in the future, whatever it was that resulted in your grounding. We believe in you! For now, Yokai is on hiatus until February 5th. We’ll see you then!

He’s back again and about time too! That’s right, the ghost lover is here to treat us to a brand-spankin’ new backstory with all the bells and whistles and we couldn’t be more thrilled! It’s easy to see that you are one hex of a guy! To think, it almost seemed like the ghost of a chance that we would see you back! Let’s see how the ghost walks by following everyone on the Masterlist!
