Announcement Message
GE Sorey:
HALLOWEEN 2025: THE CURSED LABORATORY
"Some doors should never be opened. Some creations should never exist..."
In the forgotten depths of the Sevii Islands, the abandoned Strickland Isle harbors a profane secret.
There, Dr. Thorne, a man whose admiration for the infamous Dr. Fuji has twisted into a sick obsession, dances with the limits of sanity. His illicit experiments tear at the very fabric of nature, all in the name of an unholy goal: to create the most powerful creature ever seen.
To him, lives are disposable. Pokémon... and people... are nothing more than raw materials for his inhuman ambition.
But the silence has been broken.
An anonymous distress call, originating from the heart of the cursed island, has miraculously reached Vermilion / Cherrygrove city.
It is a scream in the darkness — a final spark of hope.
Do you have the courage to face the horrors Dr. Thorne has unleashed?
Join the PWO Halloween Event 2025 from November 8th, 1PM UTC, until November 30th! Land on Strickland, breach the laboratory, and stop this madness before it consumes us all.
Dark adventures, exclusive items, and terrifying new monsters await those brave enough to challenge the nightmare.
