[Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, you may hear a strange cry echoing through the trees. The huge bird-like creature that approaches you moments later looks rather leafy itself, if a little distressed. It ruffles its wings urgently and pecks at your clothes. Once it feels it has your attention, it flies to the nearest branch and repeats its mournful cry.]
[You get the distinct feeling it wants you to follow.]
[The lush woodland is beautiful, for all its difficulties. Ray would appreciate it much more if it didn't have him by the ankles, dangling upside down from a vine-wreathed tree. He's already sent out Decidueye for help, but there's no telling where the nearest town is. For now, all he can do is occasionally struggle to curl himself upward enough to stop the blood from rushing to his head.]
There goes the neighborhood.
[Ray has never seen a town like this in Alola.]
[It's hollow and empty, despite all the people trimming their hedges in eerily perfect unison. Even he can feel the deep sadness of falsity beneath the veneer of peace and calm. His pokemon can clearly sense it too. Decidueye circles above, casting a great winged shadow over the impossibly green lawns. Raichu sits restlessly on her tail, floating alongside Ray as they walk down the length of the street.]
[Normally, he'd carry his pokemon in their pokeballs, but this place makes him extremely uneasy.]
[At the first sign of someone who isn't a carbon copy of the same next door neighbor, Ray breaks into a run towards them.]
Hey! Hey! What's going on here?
