December 24, 2018 - Upon arriving in this dimension, I was given a containment device with this spirit in it. It appears to be a Class-3 free floating vapor, with a non-defined body and small, nub-like appendages that resemble arms. According to this PokéDex device, these creatures are stumps possessed by the spirits of children who died in the forest--an example of a Class-5 possession. The childish nature of the specimen I have on hand may confirm this description. Until I can fully communicate with it, I have taken to calling it "Faraday", after physicist Michael Faraday. I am hoping to be able to reconfigure the PokéDex to be able to translate its vocalizations and eventually communicate with it. Being able to study a non-malicious spirit up close is an invaluable resource towards understanding the ghosts of this world. December 25, 2018 - Today, I asked Faraday her gender, to avoid continuing referring her as "it". After some struggling regarding writing and spelling, she identified herself as a girl before getting distracted and drawing pictures in my notebook. Further interaction has revealed that Faraday has a somewhat impish personality. She generally acts quite childish, easily distracted by colorful objects and exciting events. When she showed interest in the empty chip bag, I handed it over and she began to shred it apart meticulously. When I get to town, I will look into buying her a toy of some sort. I hope she considers it a late Christmas gift. December 27, 2018 - I gave Faraday a puzzle toy, and she quickly abandoned it. I then gave her a small stuffed toy, and she seemed satisfied with it. After an hour, she became bored and started throwing a tantrum that lasted several more hours. I don't know what to do. December 28, 2018 - I gave Faraday more pages from my notebook for her to draw on, and she was satisfied with this. I also attempted to explain my research to her, and she drew several childish (but charming) depictions of the ghost specimens I have encountered in my line of work. After a while, I tried to explain the puzzle toy again, demonstrating a few steps to familiarize her with the process and encourage her. After some hesitation, she picked it up again and set to work for several hours. I believe this marks an important step in her development. January 7, 2019 - Faraday is getting along well with the other Pokémon, especially Ray's Pumpkaboo, Jackie. She seems naturally curious about other people and organisms, which would reflect her childlike behavior. Although she still has not answered any of my questions, but patience is key in this line of work. I have also given her a box of crayons purchased at the local PokéMart, so she can further develop her artistic abilities. February 26, 2019 - Faraday and Louise participated in the Contest Spectacular and won second place overall. I am extraordinarily proud of the both of them, but especially Faraday--she made her own prop proton pack out of a shoebox and seemed to immensely enjoy it. I will be sure to bring her to the local bakery and allow her to choose however many sweets she wishes to purchase (within reason, of course). March 11, 2019 - ....Faraday seemed to have evolved in her containment unit upon being exchanged with Venkman. After overcoming my initial shock and dismay over the fact she had been apparently "kidnapped", I decided to study her closer. I'm not sure why a transfer like that would trigger such an extreme transformation, but maybe it has something to do with psychological triggers of some sort? She seems far more fidgety than normal, for some reason, though she does take delight in the fact she can manipulate her claws to grasp more objects. June 23, 2019 - Faraday has finally reached the maximum level a Pokémon can achieve. I am extraordinarily proud of her growth, and she seems more than willing to take a break from my active roster for now. I will, of course, still actively interact with her on a weekly basis. She deserves it.
