[The feed opens with ominous music. The camera's shaking. The town's dark. Everything appears rigid. Sharp. Off camera, a voice can be heard, slightly distorted.]
N-no way. Not again!
[The camera pans, ever so slowly, to show the following...]
[Seven feet of stiff pixels. It's not alone, either. Off to the side, viewers are treated to...]
[And as the camera continues to pan, more and more monsters seem to have met the same fate.]
[They flicker. Briefly, they move and look like normal Pokémon, only to stiffen up again. The music drones on and one. And on...
The camera pulls away. Riku looks to the screen, trying to keep his expression blank, but his lips twitch, trying to form a frown.]
This happened before. It's just like the first Halloween I spent here. The lanscape's blocky. My Pokémon are barely moving. Bet you anything there's a MISSINGNO. just waiting to pop up.
[The camera shakes a bit. The hallway, dark and pixelated as it is, seems to scroll behind him. Off to the side, images of more blocky creatures emerge, some in better states than others.

When Riku speaks again, the audio shifts up and down in pitch. Static distorts the feed, though Riku doesn't take notice at first.]
