Welcome to
You find yourself in peril, newcomer.
If you're careful, you'll survive this; I believe that.
Look down through the fear inside and find your way to escape,
The terror here; its very very real.
You'll simply just live or disappear.
Ghost stories and rumors, born from strange occurrences and disappearances upon the house on the hill.
A most foul crime occurred within upon its grounds, tragedy struck and innocence was snuffed.
Restless friends await for the return of what was taken; vengeance, sorrow, and blame having gave them life.
Those that think its nothing but tales discover that what it entails is all too real and gone and disappeared.
Will you be the first to uncover the tales or will you be another lost and another gone?
Behind The 123 Chu Street once such a well known little route nowadays is mostly either forgotten or is remembered for the legacy that it has garnered after the years following that Fateful Day. Rumors and tales were formed and spread around, still shared all through the Kalos region from trainer to trainer, visitor to visitor, and so on to this very day. These rumors and tales sprouted from disappearances and strange occurrences that happened at the only place that was located on 123 Chu Street; a now foreclosed, abandoned, and boarded up manor called Pikachu Manor. Pikachu Manor was the well know and popular to visit location in Kalos, located between Laverre City and Dendemille Town, that was owned by a film director and lived with his wife and daughter and their group of housekeepers. The route that lead to the manor, which was atop a cliff, was comically given the name '123 Chu Street' from inhabitants of Kalos and any tourists that visited the region.
The director had an affinity for the electric type mouse which was apparent since if one wasn't sold by the name of the home or the name of the route to it; Pikachu Manor also had plenty of Pikachu themed furniture and items within and even seemed a little bit of a throne. Pikachu Manor was a bit of a tourist attraction for the longest time in Kalos with the director being a rather nice fellow and allowing those that wished to take a little tour of the manor that stood out on that cliff between the two major cities. It surely had been quite the bustling time for Chu Street during that time though no one could've really have expected what had happened down the road that would change Chu Street and Pikachu Manor for the worst.
==== Pikachus had been quite the big influence in young Margaret's life ever since had been a child and it wasn't a surprise that she had quite the adoration for the Pokemon as much as her father did. She had quite the room filled with toys, decor, pajamas, and even her bed had Pikachus though out of all those Chu related items there was a group of her toys that she loved above all; a group of Chu dolls that she would always play with, bring one along wherever she went to in the manor, ate with, and so much more. The dolls were her absolute favorite and it was because they were gifted to her by her grandmother on her 6th birthday. Each one had a special little name that she had given them based on how they look, though she did have to change one of their names because a little accident once in the washing machine but she still found him cute no matter.
Young Margaret, the daughter of the household, was the apple of the eyes for her parents but as well for the Chus that had become like family to her and her, although she could not see it nor anyone else, to them; if they could talk they would've surely showered her in love as well. They appeared in so many of their family pictures and came with her wherever they took a trip in Kalos; always sitting with her on the ride.
They were her version of imaginary friends. But young Margaret could feel the love that passed through them, the love towards her and caring though no one would believe her if she said she felt that her chus were feeling; that was just silly if anything after all.
She was only just a child after all.
==== The Fateful Day when the bad man came is still engraved somewhere in the hearts and minds of the ones who wait for the return of young miss and family. They could not have suspected such a thing to happen in their home, nor to their very own family in their eyes. Emotions seethed and festered within and spirits intermingled with them to create sentience fully though it seems like a curse to roam and wait for the day that it will be whole again. But they'll watch over and tend to home; waiting patiently for their return and making sure that they do something this time to any of the bad that tries again to disturb the peace of the home. They've forgotten the events but haven't forgotten something bad happened, something is amiss, and something is not right. Though until the truth is shed and everything is whole again; Restless friends wait for young Margret to continue their plays.
The Manor
Pikachu Manor had once been quite the beacon of glamour and almost like stepping into another world; one that was quite filled with Chu related themes. The manor was surely more modern, some might think that its an older more 'fancy' manor, but surely it has more of a modern appearance or atleast it did before it became foreclosed after the events of that Fateful Day and soon became abandoned after it couldn't really be sold due to so many rumors and those ghost stories that folks told that supposedly were connected with the strange disappearances and reports making their way around. Pikachu Manor is a two story home, three if you count the expansive attic, with an expansive basement below it and small cellar towards the far right of the basement. On the outside, the manor has fallen into obvious disrepair with the many windows having been boarded up with wooden planks though oddly enough the glass panels below still are there if not a bit dusty and dirty from the lack of cleaning after so much time without anyone to clean and wipe them down anymore..
Vines have overgrown and became almost aesthetically apart of the eerie 'stuck in time' appearance of the manor from outside; branching and tangling along the outer walls and along the boards of woods as well as the stone statues of two Pikachus out from to the entrance of the manor from the large round courtyard; that had also fallen into disarray with overgrowing of grass and weeds and the once stone road now mostly gone from long bouts of erosion and growing of plant life until it was like walking along the forest grounds that lead to it instead of the road that once stood there time ago. The once present flowerbeds designs have all but disappeared after wilting away, their once beautiful designs gone though it seemed much of the once beauty and glamour had wilted away after such a horrible event and the manor was surely not the only thing to be affected in the long run from it all. The Pikachu statues now adorned with vine streamers and moss covered and cracked pedestals upon which they stood ever so quiet and strong as ever; the statues always watching, always quiet.
The looming abandoned structure looked oddly stable despite the appearance of disarray and vegetation taking over; forgotten and frozen in time with the forest taking over bit by bit but surely it hasn't changed much. It was like someone were actually keeping up maintenance in some way that's almost unnoticeable if one weren't sharply watching and had a keen eye. It added to the strange atmosphere surrounding the manor if anything though the outside seemed not the easiest to take care of or at all from its appearance. It likely was better on the inside if one could get past the courtyards and grounds of Pikachu Manor. Once one has passed those old rusted gates, strangely the sign covered in such strange dents and scratches, they've seemingly been transported into an eerie new world if anything..
==== If one could see within they would see that things were rather dark if anything from first looks; likely one would need a flashlight or other source of light to see accurately the inside of the manor. One would get quite the dusty and cobwebbed interior of the manor that could surely use some cleaning. The once shining lights from the chandelier of the foyer has fallen dark; snuffed out much like the lively manor. Dust covers pretty much most surfaces within and cobwebs decorate many parts like some decor for a haunted house. Despite the needing dusting and cleaning, things have seemingly been kept as tidy as possible with the carpets and floors very much tended to if not creaky and seemingly threatening to break under ones weight if not careful. A grandfather clock stands to the right of the foyer wall still ticking away at the time as if nothing was wrong with the paths into the manor leading left and right and up to the second floor seemingly as well as a door farther down that leads downwards it seems.

'Revelations' Expansion
New Locations
Alder's Room [Second Floor]
On the second floor, requiring a key found somewhere on the first floor, and to the left hallway where the master suite would be on the right; Alder's room is situated and is a room that strangely Spotter prefers that no one go into or mess with, even himself he prefers to leave it untouched for some reason. Alder was the loyal family butler and was very much liked, even thought of as a bit of a uncle by young Margaret. Alder often played with her and her dolls as well as made sure the manor was always as tidy as could be and cleaned. His room was nothing short of that too; tidy and well kept with his closet nicely filled with his suits and kept spotless despite all this time. His room wasn't too fancy but it was a rather more luxurious than the average guest room. The room has chute that leads on down into the laundry room in the restroom that still has all the items inside the cabinets and drawers compared to the other rooms that are missing or have their restrooms blocked. A little portrait of Alder himself is set on the wall that has become a little worn but still prominently shows the smiling family butler that once was.. though Spotter always look a little pained when looking at the door to the room or even when its mentioned for some reason or another. It likely has something to do with a little photo that has been found lying around a bit.
==== Attic [New Area]
On the second floor, one can find a little hatch above on the ceiling of one of the hallways with a little cord dangling from it which can be pulled and out would come a ladder from the hatch above that leads up into the seemingly forgotten attic inside of the expansive roof top of the manor above that can surely be overlooked if one isn't watchful for the little cord that can be looked over often. Above in the darkness of the attic, the cob webs are of plenty along the beams and ceiling with the shadowy outlines of the many boxes and items stored above by the owners long since left behind as there was no value to the items. The attic is rather expansive and one can walk within, though treading carefully is good in case the ground below is not stable enough or one would wish to avoid bumping into one of the low hanging beams in some of the areas of the attic. With creaks and quiet thuds, one can traverse that attic and explore for any way out from there or find some useful items in one of those many boxes above. Surely one can hide as well if need be up there from the manors' inhabitants if they were none the wiser.
==== Cellar [Basement]
Once locked, but the key will of course open it too; the cellar below in the basement is across from the laundry room and down a little corridor that leads to it. The cellar is just as musty as the rest of the basement and when entering it; one can get a little bit of a webbing in the face when going through the doorway that hasn't been dusted in a long while. The cellar holds the small wooden racks that have the fine bottles of wine resting untouched on the rack; some bottles on the ground of the cellar, broken from the fall and the sweetly scent of the wine tinged with sourness of past its date. The cellar has a flight of steps heading up to the cellar doors that lead to the outside but the handles within have been blocked by some planks similar to the ones outside on the windows. The cellar also has a little hidden passage that leads from the cellar to the first floor which is located behind one of the shelves in the living room that makes it a good quick escape in case in pinch while in the cellar; one of the bottles can be moved like a lever a bit to open the passageway upwards.
==== New Chu
New Items
Picture of Mother: A faded Polaroid with little yellowed borders yet the picture still shows a woman smiling with her holding a Pichu within her arms, coddling close with a little smile on it as well.
----- Alder's Room key: a small metal key that has grown a little rusted along the edges but still usable, a little 'A' has been inscribed into the small head of the key. Dried brown spots dot the metal.
----- Pikachu Doll: A Pikachu doll that is in rather decent condition with only a few little stitch markings and patches here and there, its always smiling and a little writing on the bottom of its foot reads 'Lost' with a name under neath seemingly mark out but it.
----- The Photo Album: A dusty covered album with photos of the family and the servants of the manor; many of the photos are a bit worn but one can see the people in those photos yet one of the humans in those photos has a rather strange feel to it.. scratched out feeling a bit with claws.
----- Cellar key: A little 'C' engraved into this key, it appears similar to the other keys in appearance though a little piece of a key chain is around the loop of its head that jingles at times.
----- Shiny pin: A little shiny Eevee shaped pin that can be found at times in one of the upstairs drawers in the guest rooms. It shimmers when the light hits it and shows the lightly scratched smooth surface.
----- Photo of Alder: The smiling face of the family butler and himself upon this photo that can be found lying around at times. It surely makes a certain Raichu a bit somber looking if anything.
