"I don't know about an angry Snorlax, but there's something following you!" Rotom yelps. There, attached to Elise's shadow, is the squishy Pokemon. It cowers behind Elise, as if afraid of being seen.

Ira's eyes widen as he sees the little pokemon. He has no idea why but the sight of it sets of an instinctive reaction.
He pants for a moment, his fight-or-flight response going off but not deciding on an option yet.
"What the hell is that thing?!" He asks, his voice teetering on the edge of freaking out.

"Calm down Ira. It's scared enough as it is. It hasn't done anything yet." Of course, Elise herself didn't knew what kind of pokémon it was either.

"No," Ira shakes his head, unable to take his eyes off the thing, "no, that thing is... it's..." He turns to Rotom. "What the hell is it?!" He asks, his normal nerve rapidly failing him.

"It's kind of cute" Kane says, peeking over from Ira's side. "Hey buddy. Wanna watch Nio with us?"

Rotom scans the little creature, and proceeds to take some pictures of it. Rotom then processes this data for a moment and turns to Ira, looking slightly embarrassed. "Well, er, this has never happened before," it says, showing the pictures it took. The little Pokemon is in none of them. Meanwhile, the little Pokemon darts from Elise's shadow into Kane's shadow when Ira shouts. As it does, it sees a cover for one of the Nio tapes, featuring Nio flourishing his flaming green sword, and it grabs Kane's foam sword from the ground, striking a similar pose. The foam sword alights with spectral green fire. Grandpa Hala is a lot faster and quieter than his size would suggest. He appears in almost a cartoon blur, two Pokeballs at the ready and seeming to be expecting unspeakable trouble. But when he sees the little Pokemon with the sword, he relaxes. "Oh, it's Marshadow," he says, relieved.

Elise gave Rotom a curious look. Even the pokédex didn't have any data on this pokémon?
"Marshadow? Is that your name?" Elise asked the little shadow hopper after Hala entered the room.

The little Pokemon- Marshadow- looks back at Elise and nods. Grandpa Hala continues: "Marshadow is a mythical Pokemon in Alola. It prefers to hide in the shadows and watch people. It has great power, but usually uses it to increase the capabilities of other people and Pokemon, and considers their accomplishments its own as well. It very rarely shows itself to people, so it must be curious about you." Marshadow, at this point, has extinguished the foam sword and has hopped back to Elise's shadow, where it listens and watches, almost out of sight. Ira So the Spookydex can't get pictures of these things. Make an Occult Edu. check to figure this out...

Ira's eyes narrow. The explanation sounds fine, but this thing's presence is still ringing alarm bells in his head. Taking a breath to steady himself, he looks at the thing and tries to figure out what's up with it. QALBmPnD4d6 4d6

Hau grins at you all. "Betcha never saw so many legendary Pokemon back home, huh? And now two on your first day! How about that?" Ira You think normal photography- even with Rotom's exceedingly high quality camera- won't capture pictures of Marshadow. However, you've heard of a photography technique used to take pictures of people's auras- Kirlian Photography- that may help take pictures of this thing. You don't have the equipment now, but it may be possible to find it at an occult shop- or build your own from scratch materials.

"Yeah, it's... something, alright." Ira says. His panic is beginning to die down, but the disturbance at this thing's presence remains. However, now he has an idea about how to handle it - not an immediate solution, but something to focus on to keep him calm.
"Any idea why it chose us to... meet." He finishes, having to think hard to come up with a word that doesn't seem conforntational.

Hala strokes his chin thoughtfully. "Maybe it believes there's something special about you," he says, peering intently at Ira from beneath his bushy eyebrows. "But one thing is for sure: all the legends agree that Marshadow is not the confrontational type. If you don't hurt it, it won't hurt you." He kneels down beside Marshadow, who doesn't move as Hala pats it comfortingly on the head.

Kane scoots down to Marshadow's level to get a better look at the new pokemon
"Maybe he likes Nio too. It seems to be unifying all the pokemon on this island"

"I knew it wasn't dangerous." Elise said nodding confidently. Now she was sure there wasn't any danger and Kne mentioned the other pokémon she couldn't help but wonder about them.
"Are these all wild pokémon?"

Hau nods, smiling. "Yeah, they're all wild. Grandpa said that if they wanted to be in the house, they'd have to be in my room." Hala glances sideways at his grandson. "Ask him about the mess they made," he remarks dryly. As Hau struggles for an explanation, Hala continues: "Don't worry; wild Pokemon and humans have an understanding when it comes to houses in Alola: nobody gets hurt or caught while inside a house." He looks at the three of you intently. "That means, no matter how tempting, you should never try to catch a wild Pokemon when they visit a house. You can catch them outside in the wild, like a normal trainer."

With that admonishment, Hala lumbers off to his room, leaving Marshadow in your care.

Kane took a moment to look around the room. The initial Nio viewing party between him and Hau suddenly turned into a full on slumber party with his siblings and a couple of legendary pokemon. This really couldn't have gotten any cooler. He kneels down to speak with Marshadow
"We're on episode 9 of Nio right now if you want to join us. It's the episode where they first introduce the illusionary stone"
With that, Kane takes his seat next to Tapu Koko, and continues his nighttime binge until he eventually passes out

After a few more moments of indecision - half of him wanting to run away, the other half wanting to drive the little ghost away and the result being him standing there doing nothing - Ira sits down. If he can't figure out why this thing is setting him off so badly, he can at least keep an eye on things to make sure it doesn't do anything dangerous.
As he sits there, he thinks about this thing. Could maybe figure out a way to take a picture, but I'd need more equipment. Or, if it's a matter of aura... could maybe be a connection to Shards, could maybe use them... need to get my hands on some, do some tests...

Kane noticed Ira doing that weird thing where he aggressively ponders to himself and completely forgets the world around him. While Kane admired his big brothers brain, it annoyed him how much Ira missed when he got like this. Kane got up from Tapu Koko’s side, and placed himself comfortably in Ira’s lap,demanding attention.
”C’moooon big bro, today we fought an evil organization, psychopath with a lame name, guitar nerd, and met two legendaries. I think we earned the right to turn off our brains for an evening, riiiiiiiight?”
Kane nuzzled closer to Ira. He was pretty used to being the one to get his brother to rest when he worked too hard, and tonight was no exception it seemed

Ira blinks for a few moments before sighing. "If only I could. Trouble is, the brain doesn't rest easy. Still, I guess you're right, Kane, no reason to get caught up in planning right now."
Least not when I've got a plan and it's just a question of the fine details. Don't you worry, you creepy little shadow-stalker, I'll figure you out. That I promise you.
