The Sports World Loving Halloween 2016

Welcome to the wonderful, haunting world of Halloween. It's a time where we dress up and embrace our inner child.

What Pikachu didn't know was that Jazzy would start crying when he stopped dancing and demanded he continue to shake his tail with a loud "EH!". So, Pikachu danced over.. and over.. and over.. and over... and over.. again.
