(It's October 24th, 2023, and the Tinkerbat Couple are in charge of getting the party supplies for the All Hallows' Eve bash. Little do they realize a certain talking Pokemon has tagged along for the ride, desperate for friendship because a certain pair of other people got killed.)

Me: All right, so we have to get chocolate, red and blue roses, gum, Warheads, grape juice, candy apples, what else should we add to the list...? Ah. Costumes! (Notices a cat next to him, kneels down) What is it, little one? Are you lost?

https://youtu.be/_Baz_zrLMCM

???: (Sniff) I'm no ordinary cat... (Shines his charm with sad eyes)

Me: (Notices the cat is standing like a human, realization hits me) OH. Hey, Meowth. What brings you here?

Meowth: (Tears start flowing) I'm here because Jessie and James are gone... My friends were killed by... By... Dis spiky blue robot...! (Sobs) Ever since den, I've looked for some people to join, but dey all toined me down because of my evil past...!

Me: (Sheds a tear and hugs Meowth) Well, we're just here for some All Hallows' Eve party supplies for next week. Care to join us, Meowth?

Meowth: Thanks so much... (Sniff) Dis has been the second time a protagonist has shown kindness to me...

Me: I know... You helped solve a lot of issues for many wild Pokemon in the Unova region with your translation skills... And Ash actually trusted you when you were with them... Don't you want trust from protagonists, with you showing gratitude and kindness in return, my friend...? It'll be hard to accept at first, due to your past, but I have learned a great deal from me being selfless... 

Meowth: (Raises eyebrow) And dat is...?

Me: That it's all worth it. Tell you what... You can join us for life. In return, we'll give you a spot in the Multiversal Heroes, along with other antagonists wanting a fresh start to their lives, just like me and Risky. In fact, 45% of the Multiversal Heroes started as antagonists but wanted to be legit, like my "Jackal Buddy", Infinite.

Risky: That reason alone is why I love you, my Tinkerbat King... (Kisses me) You've got such a big heart...~ (Traces circles on my chest)

Me: (Blushes) I just naturally feel bad for antagonists I happen to like, whether it's them being betrayed, like you and I, or them having a tragic backstory, like Meowth here. (Turns towards Meowth) If I recall correctly, you learned to talk out of love for another Meowth you had a crush on...

Meowth: (Surprised tone) How'd ya know dat?!

Me: I watched the episode where you and Meowzy met again, but she chose a Persian over you.

Meowth: You watched dat episode? And ya felt bad for me?!

Me: Of course! You're the main reason I was able to watch Pokemon and see your friends, plus your harebrained schemes! ...That gives me an idea. We arrive at the party as the Team Rocket trio, for old times' sake!

Meowth: (Cheerful attitude) Den what are we waitin' for?! To da grocery store!

Every staff in the store: (Readies their blaster pistols, takes aim at Meowth)

Me: Guns down, everyone. He's with me.

Random staff: NEVER! (Fires a shot at Meowth)

Me: I know not its name, but it is rude, incompetent and very annoying! (Deflects the shot back at the staff using the Force, kills said staff that fired the bullet as the others watch in horror) Does anyone ELSE want to try and shoot my new friend?!

Everyone else: (Either says "Nope!" or "No way!" and goes back to their business)

Meowth: How'd ya do dat, Antasma?!

Me: The Force. It's external, meaning it's all around us.

Meowth: (Face-pawms) You were watchin' "Star Wars 1-6" again, weren't ya? 

Me: Yup, and I have absolutely no regrets hating 7-9.

https://youtu.be/3caNrHJ7q1g

Meowth: (Unamused tone) Yeah, I agree with ya, Disney really pissed off a lotta Star Wars fans...

Me: Indeed they did, Meowth. Anyways, let's get the stuff.

(At the register...)

Staff Boss: What in the world happened here?! Why is one of my employees dead?!

Me: Oh. Hello, Director Clavell. That staff tried firing a bullet at my new friend here... (Gestures to Meowth) ...and I simply deflected the bullet back, which, apparently, ended up killing him.

Director Clavell: Well, he should've stood down. As such, I'll pardon it this time. However, please tell me instead next time.

Me: No problem, Director. Here's an invitation to our party. (Pays for the stuff, walks with Risky and Meowth to my car)

Director Clavell: You are too kind, Antasma.

(Everyone's enjoying the party, when suddenly smoke fills the room. They're looking around to see where the smoke is emanating. Suddenly, at the door...)

https://youtu.be/92H3Mscg7QQ

Drawcia: This is Drawcia, and I am here presiding alongside Director Clavell over this "Multiversal Heroes Pumpkin Carving Contest", or the MHPCC. Now then, let's meet the contestants!

Director Clavell: Indeed. Contestant group #1: From the Nightmare Realm, Sequin Land's seas, and the Pokemon Realm, here's Risky, Antasma and Meowth, dressed up as the Team Rocket Trio!

Risky: (Takes out a carving kit) Team Rocket carves pumpkins at the speed of light!

Me: (Takes out a marker) Surrender now or prepare for a decorative fight!

Meowth: (Sticks out a claw) Meowth, dat's RIGHT!

Drawcia: Looks like their roles for decorating are already put in place...

Director Clavell: I daresay, I have never seen a talking Meowth before... Interesting!

Drawcia: Contestant group #2: From Brooklyn and Mobius, here's Mario, Luigi, and Infinite, with Mario dressed as Luigi and vice versa, along with Infinite dressed up as Magolor EX!

Mario: Let's-a go!

Luigi: Okey-dokey!

InfiniteLeJackal: Good luck, Antasma!

Me: Same to you, my "Jackal Buddy"!

Drawcia: 3... 2... 1...

https://youtu.be/gH77RypJK-k

Me: Okay, I have the perfect face to carve onto our jack-o-lantern!

(One of my Poke Balls opens)

Jack the Spiritomb: With my face on the pumpkin, this'll be a piece of cake! Let's do this!

(Meanwhile...)

Infinite: We need to do something unexpected. Mario, what are your thoughts?

Mario: Maybe we could-a make the face of-a Nintendo!

Luigi: You do-a realize it needs to be scary, right, Mario?

Infinite: Good point, Luigi! We'll make it look like King Boo!

Luigi: Me and my big mouth... Mama mia!

(After 30 minutes of tracing, scooping and carving...)

https://youtu.be/gH77RypJK-k

Drawcia: Time's up! Let's see your carvings!

Contestant Group #1's carving: (Revealed to be a Spiritomb face, down to the last detail)

Drawcia: Ooh! Enough to send chills down my spine! Wait, was Jack your muse?

Me, Risky and Meowth: (Starts sweating)

(Jack pops out again.)

Jack the Spiritomb: Yes, I was. I will not deny it. If that counts as cheating, I deeply apologize.

Director Clavell: Heh-heh, don't worry about it, Jack! This is all in good fun! Now for the second group!

Contestant Group #2's carving: (Revealed to be Luigi's Mansion 3's King Boo, also down to the last detail)

Drawcia: So you decided on King Boo from Luigi's Mansion 3? Wait, where's the carving of Hellen Gravely?

Infinite: She was seen as just a pawn in King Boo's plan and has been sucked up by the Poltergust 5000, last I remember.

Director Clavell: Fair enough. And that also looks very haunting!

https://youtu.be/vCoVNtUg0HU

Drawcia: We declare...

Director Clavell: This carving competition...

Both: A TIE! (Gives both jack-o-lanterns a 1st place ribbon)

Me: Thank God this isn't Mario Party 3's "The Beat Goes On"!

https://youtu.be/GHxoSIluOBc

(Song begins)

???: Sir, there's something else. When we were wiping Robotnik off our database, we found something. A file buried deep in our system and dating back over 50 years.

???: What was it?

???: Coordinates, sir.

???: Coordinates? To what?

???: A secret research facility. It was a black site, sir. Someone worked very hard to keep this hidden.

???: My god... "Project Shadow"...!
