It's another wonderful day in this land known as... KITAKAMI, and as such you hear the constant hustling, and bustling, of both humans and Pokémon alike. Throughout most of the morning, it's peaceful... minus the hustle of people, and Pokémon as a whole. Yet during the night! It's the infamous festival known as the "Festival of Masks," how this event came to be, is from an event from a "far," past... where a group of three brave Pokémon sacrificed their life's to fight back against a raging mask wearing Oni, and to banish this Oni back up into Oni Mountain... during the aftermath of the kerfuffle between the three brave Pokémon, and the Oni, the three brave Pokémon had perished, and the Oni was not seen from again, so in memory of these three "Loyal," Pokémon... well if you couldn't guess already... they hold this event in honor for them.
This year's festival isn't no different than the rest... People are cheering, food being chowed down by the load, all is good, and dandy... that was the case until you heard some unsettling noises coming from Oni Mountain, but what surprised you is that no one else noticed the noise besides you, or even if another person where to actually hear this noise, they wouldn't want to go up the mountain due to the reason they'll get caught by this evil Oni, but luckily for you, you're a brave person that will actually attempt to enter the mountain, and just like that you decided to adventure forth into Oni mountain, It wasn't an easy adventure mind you... all those stares really drained you, but you finally arrived to the source of the noise! Oni Mountain. Once you walked in, you where expecting to see a fierce! Ferocious Oni right before you! But... you just see a Pokémon right before you, seemingly struggling to start a campfire, and to be honest it was kinda chilly within this mountain, once the Pokémon looked up from their campfire, they looked pretty shocked to see you...
Woah... another living being!? It's been so long I had someone to talk to!
