## Transcript

What if I told you this Pokémon might be made of regrets, and every night at dusk, they float off somewhere nobody has ever found?!

This is Drifblim, a big purple ghost balloon. 

It's drowsy all day. 

Then at dusk, whole flocks of them rise up on the breeze, perfectly silent, and drift away together.

No one knows where they go. People have watched them closely, and the flocks still disappear right out of the sky.

It carries people too. But it only drifts, so it can end up anywhere. 

One Pokédex entry even mentions a man who took a trip on a Drifblim and went missing.

All it can do is rise or sink by letting gas in and out. It can't steer, so the breeze always decides where it ends up.

And its Pokédex says that gas is made of souls. Some say Drifblim is a collection of souls weighed down with regrets, drifting through the dusk. Which, for a balloon, is about the worst thing you could fill it with.

Long ago, people who saw one float by felt it so deeply that they wrote songs and poems about it.

This Halloween, everybody's going to be outside at dusk, right when Drifblim comes out. If you see something purple drifting over the rooftops, you might not want to ask where it's headed.

Maybe there's something you never said to somebody, and it's been floating around with you ever since. Maybe there's still time for them to hear it.

Drifblim never gets to choose where its regrets end up, but you still do.

If there's someone you've been meaning to say something to, send them this, and then say it.
