[In true 12-year-old-girl fashion, Lyra's got a diary -- a woefully cutesy affair with a Marril print on the cover. The entries are even written in glitter gel pen. It is probably physically painful to read it. NOT THAT ANYONE WOULD, RIGHT? It's securely hidden in the most impossible-to-guess hiding place of all time: under her mattress.]
Diary--
I don't like Blacky anymore!! Who does she think she is, calling Silver her boyfriend? She's like a hundred years older than him! I bet Wendy's right, and she really is using some kind of magic. I just can't understand why somebody would want to go out of their way to charm somebody that's like half their age, though! And a different species, too! I know that the Pokemon here can turn into people, but that doesn't really make them human, does it? No matter how Tavi or Rui or Flynn might end up looking, I can't think of them as anything but Pokemon. Maybe it's different here, because people didn't grow up with Pokemon that didn't look the way people did, but... I think it's weird! I don't know what Silver sees in her!
Who cares what stupid Silver does, anyway? He can go ahead and date a dog that's old enough to be his mom for all I care, since he's such an expert on love and all.
While I'm talking about bad news, apparently something fishy happened in Saffron City! I'm not sure exactly what the deal is, but I gave Janus a letter to take to Lance. If anyone knows what's going on, it'll be him. He's quick when he wants to be, so I'll know one way or another soon enough.
It's not all bad news though, diary! Guess what? I got to go trick-or-treating with the Team Rocket Kid! I wonder if he really likes me, or if he's just humoring me because I'm a kid. I botched my first impression pretty badly. He's so cool, though. I hope he wants to be friends.
I'll write more later. The Young Pokeathlete Maximo is on soon.

Halloween was pretty fun. It kinda sounds like not everyone enjoyed themselves, but I definitely had a good time. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with all this furniture, though. We didn't get as much candy as I'd hoped, so I kinda cheated and bought some on sale for Janus. I had no idea he liked Red Vines that much. He's off to Kanto for an errand, but he took as many of them as he could carry with him. I'm definitely gonna hafta start us back up on Pokeathlon training next week, or he's gonna get fat. Everyone's welcome to come -- especially you, Shaymin and... um... the pink-headed psychic Pokemon whose name I forgot to ask!
Speaking of candy... Eusine! I've got some for you! And not an Almond Joy in sight, promise.
Oh, and Brendan! When do you wanna have our teams meet up? It might have to wait until Janus gets back, but he's really quick. It only takes a Dragonite seven hours to go around the world, let alone to Kanto and back. I can bring in my other three if you need more Pokedex data, too.
Hey, one more thing! Does anyone here follow the news from Kanto? There was a break-in or something at the Silph Co. headquarters in Saffron a little while ago! Silph's being totally hush about what happened, though. I dunno, I'm kinda worried. I mean, legit businesses don't have spies breaking into stuff, so it's gotta be something shady, right? And everyone knows that Team Rocket tried to take Silph Co. over once already. I wrote Lance to see if he knows if anything was taken -- especially Pokemon.
You wouldn't happen to know anything about it, Giovanni, would you? No, of course you wouldn't.
