[Oh god it talks. So does that mean it's actually a person? Inexplicably dressed as a fanciful jester? Or is it just a giant sentient harlequin figure like the ones his father adorned their entire house with? Knowing Johto, he wouldn't be surprised if it were the latter.]

[sweatysweaty]

You're hallucinating.
