POKEARNIVAL DAY 30: Creepy Carnival Legendary

Mr. Keigh (For The Benefit of Mr. Kite!) The Circus of Fear Pokémon Ghost/Psychic Abilities: Soul Drain (Sap enemy health with every attack)

In the depths of the Abandoned Circus, the greedy dragon Mr. Haitch seeks the money of all humans who wander in. However, he is not the only Pokémon running the Abandoned Circus. His ghostly acquaintance, Mr. Keigh is far more deadly. It is said that Keigh is the malicious spirit of an abusive ringmaster, eaten alive by a Felarceny he treated with horrible cruelty. Keigh drains the life force of any human or Pokémon foolish enough to enter the Abandoned Circus, but only if his partner has already been defeated.

Mr. Keigh is a massive ghost that resembles an exaggerated skeleton in a tattered ringmaster suit. Keigh barely resembles a Pokémon, but is considered one nonetheless. Keigh is battled if the player returns to the Abandoned Circus after defeating or capturing Mr. Haitch.

POKEARNIVAL DAY 29: Barnstormer

Rabblin (Rabble + Gremlin) The Gremlin Pokémon Dark/Steel Abilities: Gremlin (Lower or raise random enemy stat every turn)

A common sight near airfields and other vehicle storage areas, Rabblin are widely disliked, mischievous Pokémon. Rabblin are incredibly gifted with machinery, but use their gifts to sabotage humans. Thankfully, very few Rabblin sabotages have led to death. Rabblin eat metal, but cannot digest very thick pieces. Thus, their signature move, Rivet Gun, involves them spitting up wads of undigested metal at foes. This move can hit up to five times. Trained Rabblin keep their mischievous streak, but refrain from harming their trainer.

Rabblin are scruffy Pokémon with bits of metal embedded in their ragged fur. They have massive eyes that resemble aviator goggles. Rabblin eat metal, and compulsively tinker with human technology. Rabblin evolve into Caduster if they alter enemies' stats 50 times, and they evolve into Rivetofen if Rivet Gun hits 88 times total.

Caduster (Cad + Duster) The Insecticide Pokémon Flying/Poison Abilities: Crop Duster (Causes a random status effect after using any Flying type move)

Upon learning enough about the world, Rabblin evolve and build a rudimentary flying machine out of scrap they've accumulated. Caduster fly above the battlefield, spraying strange dust from the underside of their craft. It is theorized that this dust is some form of dander, but it is unknown why said dander can cause illness.

Caduster are very similar to Rabblin, albeit piloting a scrap metal crop duster. Caduster spread their diseased dander across the land, inflicting sleep, paralysis, even sleep to other Pokémon. Caduster are highly skilled pilots, and are often used in air shows. Caduster evolve from Rabblin that have altered enemies' stats 50 times.

Rivetofen (Rivet + Manfred von Richtofen) The Sharpshooter Pokémon Steel/Dark Abilities: Unbroken Streak (Multi hit moves always hit 5 times, and deal extra damage)

Upon honing their aim to perfection, Rabblin evolve and augment themselves with scrap metal they've accumulated. By grafting metal to their mouths, Rivetofen increase the precision of their Rivet Gun, ensuring that they never miss their mark. Rivetofen are highly respected in the Pokémon world, especially among Rabblin. Rivetofen are highly egotistical, and often fashion medals for themselves. Rivetofen can occasionally be seen arguing over which of them is more decorated. Rivetofen cannot stand Caduster, and will shoot them down on sight. Luckily, Caduster can very easily patch up their ragtag machines.

Rivetofen are taller, leaner, less ragged Rabblin. They wear makeshift metal helmets, metal masks, and oftentimes have medals pinned to their chests. Rivetofen take pride in their impeccable aim, and with good reason. Rivetofen evolve from Rabblin that have successfully hit with Rivet Gun 88 times.

POKEARNIVAL DAY 28: One Night Only

Tempurary (Tempura + Temporary) The LimitedTime Pokémon Water/Ghost Abilities: Time Out (Automatically flee or switch after three turns)

Tempurary are rarely seen in the wild due to their tendency to vanish into the timestream. These ethereal Pokémon boast minor control over the flow of time, but they suffer from short attention spans. Thus, they very quickly jump through time, rarely remaining in one era for long. Well trained Tempurary can very quickly bring their allies in to battle in their stead. Tempurary are often employed at Carnivals to aid in quick dismantlement; well, technically they simply slow down time so more work gets done "faster".

Tempurary are ghostly crustacean Pokémon. They appear to have been fried in life, as their carapaces are very flaky. Tempurary have only one eye, which is divided into twelve segments. These segments glow to show the current time, or at least the hour. When a Tempurary is about to manipulate time, the entire eye glows. Tempurary do not evolve.

POKEARNIVAL DAY 27: Carny Worker

Vermook (Vermin + Mook) The Grunt Pokémon Bug/Normal Abilities: Stamina

Vermook are a Pokémon species that has only recently adapted. Originally, they were merely the male drones of a colonial Bug type species. However, recent industrialization due to Synthenia's newest investor has led to the extinction of the females of the species. Now, Vermook have adapted to perpetuate themselves by breeding with other Bug types. To do so, they infiltrate hives and nests with a flawless method: making themselves useful. Vermook have unrivaled strength and stamina, allowing them to perform even the most grueling physical labor with relative ease. By lending their services to the queens of other Bug types, they earn breeding rights, perpetuating the existence of the Vermook bloodline. Circus owners often keep trained Vermook around as cheap labor.

Vermook are incredibly average looking insect Pokémon. They do not resemble any particular insect, rather a sort of generic "bug". Vermook are very diligent and useful workers, and can often be found taking odd jobs from other Bug type colonies. Vermook are always male. Vermook do not evolve.

POKEARNIVAL DAY 26: Carnival Ride

Ferrisfowl (Ferris Wheel + Fair is Fowl) The GrandWheel Pokémon Normal/Steel Abilities: Dizzying (Confuses opponent after three turns)

A bizarre Pokémon that barely seems to function outside of urban areas. Ferrisfowl rely on their constantly revolving torsos to mesmerize small Pokémon. They then proceed to devour the confused Pokémon with no risk of retaliation. Many trainers in Synthenia fear Ferrisfowl, as the Pokémon's revolving tends to cause motion sickness.

Ferrisfowl essentially resemble round chickens with fat bird legs. As their torsos revolve vertically, they have multiple heads and necks attached. These heads are multicolored and constantly produce cartoonish sounds, speeding up as their rotation accelerates. Upon dizzying a potential prey item, the Ferrisfowl slows its rotation to a halt, then devours the prey with whichever head is closest. Ferrisfowl do not evolve.

POKEARNIVAL DAY 25: Medicine Show

Snarlatan (Snarl + Charlatan) The Charlatan Pokémon Poison/Dark Abilities: Snake Oil (Generate a Strange Elixir after every battle.)

Reviled across the Badlands of Synthenia, Snarlatan prey on the weak in more ways than one. Snarlatan are incredibly crafty, serpentine Pokémon. Their specialized fangs allow them to drain fluids from all manner of plants and animals. They store these fluids within their hollow, transparent bodies. Their bizarre digestive system ferments and mixes these fluids into a concoction only known as Strange Elixir. Snarlatan offer their Elixir to ailing Pokémon and humans, often demanding food, money, or other valuables in return. Unfortunately, Strange Elixir very rarely boasts any actual medical benefits, meaning that those who purchase it often end up worse off than before. Particularly aggressive Snarlatan will force their Elixir on unsuspecting individuals; as such, many cities in the Badlands hire exterminators to deal with Snarlatan infestations.

Snarlatan are stout, serpentine Pokémon. Their soft heads are the color of cork; their hard, glassy bodies are transparent. Within their see-through gullets, foul, dark colored liquid swirls, their Strange Elixir. The bizarre mismatched fangs of a Snarlatan are highly specialized. The longer, thinner fang is used to siphon fluids to be added to the Strange Elixir; the broad fang with a funneled tip is used to dispense Elixir. Snarlatan are immune to their own Elixir, but will immediately keel over dead if exposed to another Snarlatan's brew. Snarlatan do not evolve.

POKEARNIVAL DAY 24: Circus Caravan

Scareavan (Scare + Caravan) The Storage Pokémon Ghost Abilities: Sturdy

Outside of Transyl Valley, very few areas of Synthenia house Ghost type Pokémon. To remedy this, the spirits of Transyl Valley adopted a special method of travel. Scareavan are ghostly Pokémon that possess an entire circus wagon. The ghostly inhabitants can manipulate the wood and steel of the wagon effortlessly, using it to protect themselves. Scareavan are often seen barreling through the cities of Synthenia, hauling Ghost type Pokémon safely through the urbanized environments. Scareavan have no set behaviors, as their consciousness is composed of multiple individual spirits.

Scareavan are vintage circus wagons haunted by miscellaneous spirits too weak to manifest themselves physically. They offer their services as ghost-friendly transportation to Pokémon and other spirits. Scareavan often leave from Transyl Valley and make round trips across Synthenia. Many cities clearly mark the roads that Scareavan travel, as they travel fast enough to kill a human should they collide. The human's spirit then becomes another passenger of the Scareavan's ghostly drivers. Scareavan do not evolve.

POKEARNIVAL DAY 23: Hypnotist

Shrinclock (Shrink + Clock) The MindControl Pokémon Steel/Psychic Abilities: Psychoanalysis (See enemy HP, Type, and Moves)

A strange Pokémon that resembles an animate stopwatch. Shrinclock are incredibly patient and understanding. They are also masters of hypnotism. Thus, they often appoint themselves as therapists of sorts, putting troubled humans into a deep sleep and analyzing their subconscious thoughts. Shrinclock are highly intelligent, and telepathically relate their findings to their patients. Shrinclock are highly revered in Synthenia, and are often employed by human psychiatrists as aides.

Shrinclock resemble hovering stopwatches. Their actual bodies form the chain; they are serpentine Pokémon that simply steal stopwatches. To hypnotize others, they swing their watch around much like a human Hypnotist. Shrinclock do not evolve.
