The Haunting Tale of Poltchageist

Once upon a time, there was a tea master who dedicated his life to perfecting the art of the tea ceremony.

And his pursuit of perfection bordered on obsession.

"Do not lift the tea bowl so high!"

"Do not step over the utensils!"

"Do not speak while handling the utensils!”

"What are you doing?!"

Strictness soured his reputation.

Eventually, not a soul would suffer his company.

And without guests to entertain, his pursuits were meaningless.

"Regret is a bitter sip…"

As the tea master said this, he fainted from exhaustion.

His short temper proved to be his undoing a truth he never realized.

The master’s tea caddy passed from owner to owner.

Until finally, after many years of neglect, the tea caddy started moving on its own...

and suddenly transformed!

The caddy then flew out of its storehouse!

After some looking around, it noticed an ill-mannered woman and approached her.

As the caddy sprinkled her with matcha for some reason,

she sensed its presence and waved it away, breaking a teacup in the process.

Let me tell you, that really teed it off!

Its temper rivaled the old tea master’s!

Later that night, the woman noticed her skin now possessed a peculiar glow!

But the glow was shortlived, for trouble was brewing.

The matcha steeped in her life-force, sapped some of her strength as it returned to the caddy.

How terrifying!

Then, it began sealing up cracks with its matcha!

Starting with the broken phone… then a power outlet, some headlights, even Tinkaton’s hammer!

The tea caddy in this story is, in fact, the Grass- and Ghost-type Pokémon

Poltchageist!

People say the tea master’s regret still dwells in this caddy.

Should you ever meet it, a proper greeting may save you from a bitter fate...
