==Plot==
At the Pokémon Center, surprises and the by calling out, "Fight or fright." Hilbert is startled, which causes Acerola to apologize to him. Hilbert tells the player that he and Acerola are about to leave to go trick-or-treating. Acerola explains that there is a rule on Pasio for s who go trick-or-treating—they have to say "Fight or fright," and have a Pokémon battle. Whoever loses the battle must give the winner some of their candy. Suspecting the player to wonder about her costume, Acerola explains that she is wearing it to make the experience more fun for the children who go trick-or-treating on Pasio. She and Hilbert invite the player to join them, making a plan to meet up later.
Entering the town at night, the player sees many Trainers having battles. The player's notices a nearby, which approaches it. Nearby, Acerola and Hilbert are relieved to see Mimikyu, explaining that it had just run off from them. Hilbert notes that Mimikyu disguise themselves as Pikachu to be accepted by people and Pokémon, then points out that Pikachu has been looking at Mimikyu since it came over. Acerola remembers that Pikachu had been staring at Mimikyu in the Pokémon Center earlier, and speculates that he wants to become friends with it. Acerola and Hilbert make a plan to win as much candy as possible while trick-or-treating so they can share it with and , who are busy playing at the beach.
Across the town, Acerola, Hilbert, and the player face off against other Trainers, winning candy for themselves. While they celebrate their wins, a voice calls out to them. They turn to see , who challenges Hilbert to a battle. Hilbert asks Hilda if she knows what is happening at the town tonight, and she misunderstands, explaining that she is always around wherever there are Pokémon battles. When Acerola explains that there is a special rule, Hilda laughs and tells her that she already knows the rule that two Trainers have to battle when they make eye contact. Hilbert tries to explain that is not what they were talking about, but Hilda has already sent out her for a battle. After the battle, an exhausted Hilbert finally alleviates the confusion, telling Hilda about the rule of "fight or fright." Hilda is embarrassed, then informs the group of some Trainers she had recently battled who had given her candy. 
Following Hilda's directions, Hilbert, Acerola, and the player look for the Trainers at a forest. Acerola announces to the group that she recognizes the area, and that Pokémon like to visit it. A appears from behind a tree, and Acerola is delighted. A shuffling sound is then heard, and Hilbert becomes startled and ready to protect the others. A can soon be seen, and Acerola invites it to play. Purple flames suddenly appear from behind a tree, then quickly disappear, scaring Hilbert even more. When Acerola tells the others that she sees something, Hilbert prepares his to attack. A descends from the sky, and Hilbert pauses, feeling as though he has seen the three Ghost-type Pokémon together before. A voice complains from the forest, which Acerola recognizes.
The group comes across , who writes down a line about a knight protecting a princess with his "dark powers" and fangs. She tells the two that they have inspired her more than anything else has in weeks. Hilbert and Acerola are happy that their costumes have given so much joy to Shauntal. When the player begins to ask Shauntal a question, and enter, wondering where she had gone. Shauntal explains to them that she was looking for Pokémon when she found Acerola and the others. She gushes about their costumes and the way they have influenced her writing. Acerola asks Shauntal, Agatha, and Morty if they are at the forest to win candy, but they explain that they are there for the Midnight Parade, where Ghost-type Trainers march through the town. Acerola eagerly asks to join them, and they tell her that if she and the others can defeat them, they will give them some candy and let them march in the parade.
After Acerola, Hilbert, and the player win the battle, Shauntal and the others compliment their skill. The group leaves together to begin the parade. All over town, Trainers are surprised and intrigued by the Ghost-type Pokémon of those marching through the Midnight Parade. Two young Trainers enthuse over Mimikyu and Mightyena, then ask to battle them. Hilbert and Acerola happily accept. As they begin their battle, Shauntal, Agatha, and Morty watch from nearby with smiles on their faces.

Hilbert 	Wahh! Acerola, I told you not to sneak up on me like that!We said we weren't gonna start any of that until we go out later tonight, remember?
Acerola 	Oops! Sorry, Hilbert! I guess I just got a little too excited...
Hilbert 	Sorry about that, <player>. We're actually getting ready to do some trick-or-treating in town tonight.
Acerola 	Yeah! Only on Pasio, there's a special rule: you have to say “Fight or fright!” and have a Pokémon battle!Then when the battle is over, the loser has to give the winner some of their candy. Tee-hee!Oh! Were you wondering about my costume?I thought dressing up would make trick-or-treating more fun for all the tiny tots out there tonight!What do you think, <player>? Wanna come with us and get some candy?!
Hilbert 	Yeah, why don't you join us? It'll be fun!
Acerola 	We'll probably head over soon, but you can meet up with us later when you're ready, OK? See you there!

Acerola 	Oh, <player>! It's you! Looks like you found my Mimikyu!
Hilbert 	We were a little worried at first since he bolted all of a sudden. Glad you found each other!
Acerola 	He must have run off when he spotted you and Pikachu!
Hilbert 	Y'know, I think I read somewhere that Mimikyu disguise themselves as Pikachu to get close to people and other Pokémon...Have you noticed that your Pikachu hasn't stopped staring at Acerola's Mimikyu since you arrived?Maybe Mimikyu's disguise is making him curious.
Acerola 	Now that you mention it, I think I saw Pikachu staring at Mimikyu while we were in the Pokémon Center, too!If he's giving you this much attention, he must really want to be your friend, Mimikyu! Isn't that great?That reminds me... Where's Palossand?: Oh, she's not here today! She and Oshawott are playing with some kids at the beach.''
Hilbert 	Are you with Mightyena, Hilbert?: Yeah! He and I are partners tonight. Oshawott is over at the beach playing with Acerola's Palossand.We didn't want to disturb all the fun they were having, so we let them stay and play.
Acerola 	Yep! I'm gonna collect a whooole bunch of candy tonight so I can share it with everyone back at the beach!
Hilbert 	In that case, you'd better get your special shout ready! We've got a bunch of battles to win!
Acerola 	You got it! Mimikyu and I will be scooping up all the competition tonight!

Hilda 	Come on, let's have a Pokémon battle! Hilbert, I challenge you!
Hilbert 	Hang on a sec! Challenging me to a battle is totally fine, but...you do know what's going on tonight, right?!
Hilda 	Of course! Wherever the Pokémon battles are, that's where I'm gonna be. No one loves battling more than me!
Hilbert 	Right... But we're not just battling tonight. There's candy and...
Acerola 	If you want to challenge somebody to a battle, there's a special rule you have to remember!
Hilda 	Ohhh, I know what you're talking about! Haha! OK!
Hilbert 	Wait, you DO know about the special rule then? Phew, that's good...
Hilda 	Duh! "If two Trainers' eyes meet, they've got to have a Pokémon battle!" Come on, let's go! I'm coming at you with everything I've got!
Hilbert 	Huh? No, no! That's not the rule we're talking about, Hilda!

Hilbert 	Yeah, of course I do. But battling isn't what's making me exhausted... Listen, Hilda. I think you're confused.
Hilda 	Huh? What are you talking about?

Hilda 	Whoops! Hehe... We can just, y'know, forget all that happened, though, right?Besides, if you're looking for candy, I think I might have a lead for you! The people I battled earlier actually gave me some!
Acerola 	Really?! Can you tell us where they are?

Hilbert 	I saw something in the bushes!/Maybe this forest IS haunted?!: *gulp* Y-you don't think that was a...a...

Hilbert 	I didn't think I could make someone so happy just by wearing a costume! I'm glad I dressed up.
Acerola 	Me too! The look on Shauntal's face alone makes all the effort worth it. She looks so happy!
(Agatha and Morty appear)	(Agatha and Morty appear)
Morty 	What brings you here, Shauntal?: Ahh, there you are, Shaunt— Wait, what's going on here?
Agatha 	Did you come here alone?: Ahh, we were wondering where you ran off to, Shauntal... What's all this, then, hm?
Shauntal 	I came this way looking for our Pokémon, but I ended up finding Acerola and the others, too! We were just chatting a bit!
Morty 	A bit, huh? All of that fresh ink in your notebook seems to suggest otherwise.
Shauntal 	Oh, how could I NOT write, Morty? Have you seen the wonderful costumes these two are wearing tonight?!Acerola looks like the spitting image of Mimikyu in that adorable hood, doesn't she? It's like she used Disguise herself!And Hilbert looks just like a Mightyena lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity to leap out and catch his prey!With such perfect muses right before my eyes, this novel is practically writing itself!
Agatha 	That's all fine and dandy, as long as you haven't forgotten the reason we came here in the first place.
Acerola 	Wait a minute... Did you three come here to get candy, too?!
Agatha 	Candy? Ah, you mean that "fight or fright" thing... Sorry, child. That's not why we're here.
Morty 	We've all gathered here for the Midnight Parade.We Ghost-type users are going to march through town with our Pokémon while all of the spooky decorations are on display.
Shauntal 	The magical, mysterious atmosphere downtown inspired us to do something extra special!We're hoping that other Ghost-type users will come and enjoy the parade with us as well.
Acerola 	The Midnight Parade?! That sounds so amazing! Can I march, too? I want to be in the parade!
Agatha 	Me too!: I had a feeling you'd say that. What do you think, Morty? Shauntal?That sounds like fun!: Do you want to join in, too, then? Morty, Shauntal, what do you think?
Shauntal 	I would love to have all of you join the parade! But first, we'll need to make sure you're apt to participate, right, Morty?
Morty 	That's right. If you can prove your knowledge of Ghost-type Pokémon by defeating us in a battle, you can join us in the parade.And as long as you say the magic words, we'll throw some candy in as well.
Acerola 	Really?! You'll give us candy, too?!In that case, I'll give this battle everything I've got! No holding back!Come on, guys! That candy is as good as ours! Fight or fright!

Shauntal 	"The three challengers fought tooth and nail to earn the right to march in the Midnight Parade..."And when the battle ended, they smiled in triumph, knowing they had proven themselves worthy of the honor."What a magnificent battle! I'm sure you'll do wonderfully in the parade!
Morty 	Agreed. You three did impressively well. I almost want to ask for a rematch just so that we can continue training together...But I suppose that can wait for another time.
Agatha 	Oh ho! I think that would be wise, Morty! Best you save that secret training of yours for another day.Now, then! I think it's time we show Pasio just how magnificent we Ghost-type users can be.

Acerola 	Tee-hee! Mimikyu's probably so happy to have fans who think he's cute!
Youngster 	Whoa! Where did you get that costume, Bro?! You look so cooool!
Hilbert 	Thanks! Mightyena and I are twins today!
Youngster 	Mightyena looks so cool, toooo! Can we have a battle?! I wanna see you guys fight together!
Acerola 	Did I hear something about a battle? Don't forget about me!
Preschooler 	Me too! Me too! I wanna battle, too! Fight or fwight!
Morty 	It looks like the Ghost Pokémon are a hit.
Shauntal 	They all look happier than a hero in a fairy tale!
Agatha 	I guess it's good to do something festive every now and again, eh?
Acerola 	You're on, kids! Bet you can't beat meee!
Hilbert 	Haha! I don't plan on losing, either! Come on, <player>! Let's do this!
