Clearly, everything is Charon's fault.

[galactic_geezer]

[Despite it being early July, the weather's fairly mild today. The sun is shining, there's a pleasant hint of a breeze, and... hold on, is that someone shouting from behind you?]

Release that container and return to the residence at once! And you had best not even dare--!

[That's about all you hear before you get thoroughly drenched by a bucket

[alwaysinfront]

[Spluttering and getting indignant and ready to--]

...The hell? Why'd ya do that? [Annoyed. And a bit wary.]

[galactic_geezer]

[And in spite of the bucket in his hands, Charon shakes his head.]

I assure you that this was no fault of my own.

[alwaysinfront]

Don't see anyone else who could have done it.

[Senile old man. No, Charon, Platinum does not like you.]

[galactic_geezer]

Do not be foolish. A mere observation of this location will reveal...

[... that Rotom is still invisible and everyone else is too far away to have possibly thrown the water unless they had Speed Boost in effect.]

... that I am far from the only person present.

[limited_space]

[ That tall guy that's looming over Charon? That really tall, soaking wet, armored guy? He looks pissed. ]

[galactic_geezer]

[If he wasn't so used to having to deal with Cyrus on a regular basis, Charon might actually be terrified of such an imposing figure. But no, he's just... feeling a lot smaller than usual. And maybe a slight bit intimidated, even if this guy has crazy armor.]

... I implore you to not leap to uncertain conclusions.

[limited_space]

Uncertain?

[ He looks pointedly at the bucket in Charon's hand, then goes back to glaring down at the scientists. ]

No. This conclusion is quite certain.

[galactic_geezer]

Err... [Let's drop this bucket now, shall we?]

Surely you have encountered at least one phantom upon this island? They are certainly a... restless sort, and appear to have a fondness for executing pranks of this nature.

[zeoriginaldaddy]

Hack hack, what was that for?!

[Simon attempts to catch breath, looking up at him.]Roaming electricity?

Hey I thought I was suppose to be the mad scientist here!

[galactic_geezer]

Do not place blame upon me for an action I did not do.

[He bristles a bit at that last remark.] And I am hardly a "mad scientist". I believe the appropriate term would be "scientific genius".

[zeoriginaldaddy]

Well I'm sure you did it, why looking at you says it all!..Though I'm not sure if its genius if you splash people with water, haha!

[galactic_geezer]

That latter statement I will concede, if only for the fact that I am not responsible for drenching you with water. There are some denizens on this island with the ability to alter their visibility, you realize.

[galactic_geezer]

[WOAH SHIT OKAY that actually makes Charon take half a step back. Don't wanna get caught up in any epic freakouts!]

[supereffectred]

[Well it's not too bad, he just shakes a lot of the water off after flailing around a bit

and he GLARES

and yes it's aimed at you, Charon.]

[galactic_geezer]

[Well, have a glare right back at you.]

Do not turn such a scowl on me, child. I am not to blame for that utterly ridiculous prank.

[beingofemotion]

[Mesprit shrieks as she is drenched in water, immediately wrapping her arms around herself for warmth afterward.

Nice going, Charon, you just made a pretty girl cry.]

W-Why would you...!

[galactic_geezer]

[A pretty girl you are, but that won't guilt-trip him enough into apologizing for this.]

I must insist that I did not.

[If Mesprit is capable of detecting emotions as a human, there is an overwhelming amount of amusement in the immediate vicinity, and yet it's not coming from Charon.]

[beingofemotion]

[Fortunately, she can, and she can sense another presence very close by, but she can't see them.]

...Who is the one responsible?

[galactic_geezer]

[While Charon's reluctant to reveal the whole truth, he doesn't have much qualm with giving a half-truth.]

Presumably the ghost Pokémon that I was attempting to follow. My previous observations of that particular ghost have revealed it to be a particularly mischievous one.
