Pokemon ScVi Headcanons - Halloween/Veilnight Edition
Also Veilnight is what I hc Halloween is called in the pokemon universe :) so those might be used interchangeably but it's basically the same thing
Every year Kieran INSISTS that this will be the year he can make it through a scary movie without screaming or getting scared. (He's been saying the same thing for at least four years. It never works)
Crispin spent a week before the holiday trying very very hard to work up the nerve to suggest a duo costume with Lacey. It worked, somehow
Arven never really celebrated Halloween/Veilnight that much. There wasn't much to celebrate in his opinion. Naturally, Penny was horrified when she found out
It's Penny's favorite holiday! She goes all out with her costume/cosplay, even if it's just her Veevees and friends who end up seeing it (both Team Star and Paldea gang)
Penny and Nemona have more than enough enthusiasm about the holiday for the whole rest of the group. (Not that Arven and Tsuki aren't excited, but they take it to a whole other level)
Nemona goes to a lot of Halloween parties and such during the month (and drags all her friends to them too, if only for a few minutes). There is at least one battle (almost always more) at every single one of them
Arven, for his first Halloween/Veilnight, was gonna go with something basic as a costume like a zombie or some other stock horror creature. Nemona suggested the four of them (her, Penny, Tsuki, and Arven) do a group costume instead. This is how they all ended up dressed as the Treasures of Ruin (it was the one four-person group costume I could think of, cut me some slack /lh)
Drayton doesn't even bother with a costume. He just tells people he's going as himself and leaves it at that
Amarys and Carmine watch scary movies every year in Carmine's dorm. Amarys points out every dumb thing the characters do while Carmine goes on about how she would have beaten [generic horror movie bad guy] by whatever point they're at in the movie (they do both get very invested in said movies and there's lots of yelling at the screen, mostly from Carmine)
Lacey gives all her Pokemon cute costumes for the occasion :) all pink if she can help it, of course, or whatever colors fit best with the Pokemon's color scheme
In the same vein as Kieran, Arven insists horror movies don't scare him and he's not scared of anything... and then jumps at every loud sound from that point onward (he's thrown something out of fear before). He just watches them because Nemona and Penny and Tsuki want to and he doesn't want to be left out
The same goes for any haunted house or corn maze or scare thing like that. Arven tries, both because his friends are going and because he wants to get over being scared of it... and then panics and nearly hits someone (to date he has yet to actually hurt anyone but he could if he wanted to)
Drayton invites himself to Amarys and Carmine's movie nights sometimes when he's bored. Carmine threatens to throw him out (literally) every time. To date, she never has
