- Pokemon games are known for hiding some creepy stories throughout their games, and Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are no exception. In one of the games' many side quests, we learn that the Trainer's School on Melemele Island is haunted, and upon completing this side quest, you'll be sure to have more questions than answers. So today, along with my friend Hybrid Hero, we are going to attempt to demystify this side quest, and give you guys our theory on what we believe to be the sinister truth of the trainers school.
Check out the other USUM theory we did over on Hybrid Hero’s channel!

HoopsandHipHop hi hoops how are you
+OdhranMinecraftPlayz 154 doing good thanks!
I actually read the diary early. As soon as I could access the 2nd floor. Sorry.
HoopsandHipHop actually there is part where the girl said that she was happy it still remmember is reffering to the point where the hyonos create her apiration. After all there is 1 girl in the class who spoke broken english like the one with the driftloom
Sheesh this has got to be one of the scariest theories I’ve ever heard.
even IT movie told little kids not to play with balloons but nooo...
Ah my favorite part of the new game! No really, that part was when I knew it would be a good game.
I am glad you made this.
The most tragic thing here is that Drifloon isn't even presented as evil. The girl tells you all he wanted was some company.
But I freak up each time a kid and Drifloon are seen together, which happens a few times...
I do the same thing, but with a Hypno.
Ya know. Free candy van, but worse, right?
This hypno isnt bad he is kinda lovely
Another thing I find weird about the trainer school is that there are Zorua that reside there. And Zorua can turn themselves into human children with its Illusion ability. So is the trainer school teaching not only children, but Zorua as well? How do we tell if the kids we talk to the trainer school are real or are Zorua in disguise? In BW2, there is a guy in Lostlorn Forest who is a Zoroark in disguise and was able to speak fluently, so we can assume they are likely capable of speech.
This is another segway to another subject: Just how powerful is Zorua and Zoroark's Illusion? They are capable of seizing and controlling one's visual and depth perception and feed false information to the brain, creating a new reality.
SleepyEspurr I'll have a blow a hole in this theory. There's an event in Black and White that you could trigger to reveal a young boy being actually a Zorua, but the boy was unable to speak. As in, at all. Just Red-style '...' Although Zoroark may be capable of human speech, Zorua are not. Play Black and White, go to Castelia City, and there will be a girl in one of the houses who talks about Zorua to the...disguised Zorua.
DarkNinja 505 Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that.
Sadly, the kid's diary doesn't mention the girl being mute or whatnot. So, it's still possible, albeit very unlikely, that the girl was a Zorua. Who knows?
DarkNinja 505 I never assumed the girl was a Zorua in the first place. I merely stated that it was strange to find wild Zorua right next to the school.
I never assumed you thought the girl was a Zorua. That's a wild thought, just that it's possible. The odds, probably 0.01% or something.
Hey! Das My Footage! I love the darker tones these games are adopting. I'm still curious as to what she was talking about concerning the part where she says she was in trouble. I feel like like that needs to be explored.
+GoodguyGastly haha thanks for letting me use it! 😅
HoopsandHipHop no problem no problem!
GoodguyGastly hey there
There's a song based on a creepypasta based on hypno called Hypno's Lullaby.
Eu teria dado strike neles nem colocaram os créditos do seu canal, são aproveitadores...
I think this is what hipno said :I was killed by driffloon child now lonely
What if the Drifloon got too big? Would it evolve or pop?
Ian The Hedgefox If it pops, it becomes the world's most horrifying whoopie cushion. Moon said that if it pops, the souls scream as they are released. They probably condense into a void.
what if it popped and Driftblim was inside?
Mankey would pop it with a dart
If you dont get this reference, you are legally not gamer boy
Don't play with spooky balloons kids
HybridHero #3spooky5meh
I have one
Alternatively...
Both the little girl and Hypno were victims of a serial killer. The Killer killed the pair, and their ghosts haunt the school. The ghost of the girl doesn't know she's dead, while Hypno became a Driftloon in the afterlife (It says in the pokedex - Wandering souls gathered together to form this Pokémon. Could be a Pokemon's soul.). Driftloon is trying to guide the girl's spirit to the afterlife, but she keeps wandering back because she's still intrigued by the mysteries of the school.
Now that you've dispelled the mysteries, Driftloon can finally lead her all the way to the next life.
The girl's body would have been immediately trackable or otherwise her absence noticed. If a Pokemon did it, especially a Drifloon scouting the area out, it shouldn't be too hard for it to find a way to erase her from the peoples' memory. Of course it wouldn't get the kids since if it did, why mess with their memories when the Drifloon could just get them, period?
Though you may be onto something regarding the Hypno becoming a Drifloon if how she died is altered to fit better.
This game is an entire creepy pasta with alternate worlds and shit.
It's creepy AF
I have been replaying the game lately, and I JUST FOUND THIS AREA TODAY! I accidentally mantine shrfed to melemele while pressing a too fast in the island menu box and then decided to talk to the kid off to the side while searching for pearls. I had bo idea this sidequest even existed. And then I got through the missions and . . . . I WAS GENUINELY FREAKED by these things! Especially the eerie music and sound based scares. My goodness! XD
I have two other theories that are directions this mystery could go, and are possibly even darker. If you look into the second dex entry of hypno, in your sun and moon list it specifically states "people in hospitals that have trouble sleeping" well, drifloon aren't exactly just outright malicious that we can tell, we see this with a small child that is carried around by his drifloon in the thrifty megamart who is just fine. What if either this little girl was already sick and the hypno was helping take care of her, and she says the hypno remembers her because it is the living hypno creating these "hauntings" to try to tell the story of how it took the girl away and try to keep her memory alive, or
this little girl had trouble meeting people because of her broken speech (which can sort of be reflected in the ghost class mystery everyone tells you to stay and be their friend) and befriended this hypno. She liked being at school so much perhaps because she didn't have a family to go back to (whether that's because something happened to them first, or because she didn't have a great situation at home which is also why everyone in the ghost class says they love school and why she seems to love the school so much too. However, maybe this hypno IS the drifloon. The drifloon seems to "belong" to the little girl or at least be close to her but if drifloon can be the spirits of Pokemon or people what if this hypno passed away and simply decided to take the little girl it was perhaps looking after with it to the afterlife since both were kind of all eachother had..? The reason it disappeared and a drifloon came for her instead then isn't because drifloon hunted down hypno but maybe because when hypno passed away it came to pick the little girl up as usual and then did what drifloons do best so they could be together as friends forever.
The theory of a drifloon simply killing the little girl makes sense too, but aside of the fact it walks through a wall she does say "it remembers me" which means it's still around whether it died as well or lived...it makes it sound like maybe the hypno lived in some way to me though. They left the mystery a bit open ended...
This is why I knock out every drifloom I see.
There's also the fact that the little girl herself says something along the lines of "Sometimes Drifloon takes my hand. I wonder why? Maybe it's lonely." Which is what the dex entry for drifloon says when it's talking about leading the kids to the afterlife.
Dude... the Pokemon universe is surprisingly dark...
This gave me chills its definitely one of the scariest pokemon theories
I think hypno was saying I was killed by drifloon and the child is lonely
Great theories you guys, really enjoyed watching both videos :)
+PokéDan thanks man! :)
4:00 Huh. The first thing I think of when talking about people who speak broken english in Pokémon is Mr. Bye-bye a go-go Rocket Grunt. Completely forgot about Fantina.
Dear GOD you two! Why the heck are these the things that you think of?!
This made me feel bad for a hypno
Me too
I mean not all hypno are bad because in the diamond and pearl games hypno and drowsy try to help the girl wake up.
Same
The most disturbing event in any Pokemon Game, it seemed that they stopped putting this scary shit when the switch games came up
that picture of hypo was so damn creepy
Ikr, it scared me. Now I can't sleep
Wait, why is there always a ghost girl in every Pokémon game
Since diamond and pearl in 2006 with the gen 1 and gen 2 remakes is an expression
DRIFLOON STRANGLED THE CHILD AND HYPNO in my headcanon
Ah... there is that Drifloon on Akala, too, right? And the child? Could it be the same Drifloon?
You know one of my favorite parts about Pokemon? T H E C R E E P Y G H O S T T H E O R I E S . . . heh heh heh...
Hypno is not dead the drifloon killed the girl and hypno became lonely and he said "I saw drifloon kill the child and now im lonely" or something like that
Why does he vanish then ?
Indeed I do think drifloon was the cause of the child becoming a ghost, but I've always wondered why? Why do drifloon like to hunt down children to bring them to their demise?
Oscar A. Sun dex entry: Stories go that it grabs the hands of small children and drags them away to the afterlife. It dislikes heavy children.
From ultra moon dex:
Wandering souls gathered together to form this Pokémon. When trying to make friends with children, Drifloon grabs them by the hand.
US dex entry:
Its round body is stuffed with souls and expands each time it leads someone away
So it basically eats souls of children for nourishment and wanting to befriend them, so as the girl said the Drifloon really was lonely and wanted a friend
Sneaky Snek so it befriends children only to later eat their souls? That's just... disturbing...
I totally passed over this side quest. Didn't even know this was a thing until now. And i already completed the main story.
This reminds me of that Pokémon episode " Ghost of Maidens Peak"
Idk why but this quest actually made me sad and I started crying
I don't think Hypno is dead he's just makes illusions so he can play games with the ghost girl because he is lonely.
i think the little girl is from AMC'S The Walking Dead. she moved in the pokemon universe after they killed off Carl, her boy friend. she speaks this way because she was Jadis and her friends who speak like that
Naruto Uzumaki haha
Maybe the hypno died an became the drifloon?
Why was drifloon trying to kill the little girl and hypno at the same time at the haunted trainers school that's crazy if you ask me.
I literally found out this was a thing in the game today haha I've barely touched USUM's extra content
This got me thinking will the sun and moon series make a episode about this
Technically not everything was either Hypno or Drifloon. The staircase to nowhere mystery was the result of a Gastly. Also, did any of you get a sort of "Scooby-Doo" nostalgia doing this mission?
You know drifloon killing hypno is actually plausible, that is when you consider it’s a ghost vs a psychic.
Drifloon: I like little girls...
Magnezone: FBI!!! OPEN UP!!!
Zoroark: "Ladies and Gentlemen; We got him!"
Ok...now I’m scared of Drifloon. And that’s why kids you need to have a dark type and use bite on dem ghost. Just hope Asrela won’t be a target. Mad respect for ghost type trainers.
The music made it even more creepy... yay!
Am I the only one who see a girl passed by on your side in trainer school?
I have anpther connection to sinoh the valley windworks "side quest" featured a girl telling you to save her dad who is being held hostage by team galactic and aftet you save her dad she says " i wonder if the balloon pokemon will come back now!" After that u can encounter a driffloon every Friday, so i believe she moved from sinnoh to alola where she met hypno and started attending the trainers school and another thing i realized when watching the video which is that the girl is in the class at the desk closest to the door. It also might've been the case that the girl and hypno was killed either in or just outside of that classroom and i just wanted to bring that to the table.
I at least somewhat agree with most of this theory, although personally, I don't think that the Hypno was dead.
This is just dark… damn
What about the ghost trial? That’s was creepy dude
This had me messed up for a while now and I still get nightmares from this...
Aw shit IMA be traumatized like I am being hugged
Whoa...this actually a very chilling side quest and it makes me wonder why the adults just brushed it off. Take things like Pokemon killing other Pokemon in order to get to their primary prey -which is children- seriously!
Noo driftloon is my favorite
A haunted school would intrigue in the Pokemon universe if ghost type wasn't just a normal everyone occurrence in this world XD
Did anyone notice that the ghost gurl is actually in hipnos class back right. Talkin to her even revels she just moved there and her language is bad. So hipno is recreating her class so her spirit can be happy.
Drifloom is all of the ghosts. he's making the kid happy
Instead of giving company to the little girl i think it created an illusion to lure the Drifloon to take it to the grave with him... what is even creepier in my opinion
I am so doing this event tonight!
How’d it go?
Really great
"Says she died" 2 seconds later he tells us that she grew to become a gym leader....
Say, you know what happens if you say Drifloon to the security?
5:00 to 5:15 reminds me of Pennywise from IT
Man Drifloom is even more deadly than hypno.
Hey! Is that trickywis destiny bond in the background
Maybe the little girl IS Fantina, and Drifloon took her away and she eventually evolved it into Drifblim, and also Sun and Moon take place in the far past and as far as recurring characters go, the afterstory isnt usually canon
I think maybe the Hypno died and became the Drifloon and accidentally killed the girl because of its new nature. And causes shenanigans to entertain the girl and keep her from being to lonely
it surprises me why drifloom was in place of what should've been a drifblim, sense I think drifblim is more evil
Probably the reason the girl disappeared at the trainer school is because drifloon takes children away into the sky.
Maybe Hypno was trying to learn human languange and this can be why he have a broken english, and pokemon learning human languange isnt new because meowth could learn
The girl says kyukyukyu... Like a Mimikyu?
Jd J or kill kill kill :)
Yeah, personally. I think soon, if not the next gen, will have pokemons as people and, or people turning into Pokemon.
It's true what they say we all float down here. And you will, too. In fact, they ALL FLOAT! THEY ALL FLOAT! THEY ALL FLOAT!🎈
I would make 1alteration to the theory. Based on the back that one of the kids in ghost class looks like and speaks in the same broken English as the girl out front I believe this illusion is supposed to be the little girl and hypno is not making the class because the girl is lonely but because hypno is he wants his friend back and made this classroom with her and other kids in it to try and feel less alone.
Here's a thought: if certain pokemon are well known for targetting children, do you think there are towns or regions that move to exterminate them?
Oh I get it they both have starters on their shoulders
All that- because of one drifloon!!!
I think the drifloon got to the kid first. While hypno was targeting komala.
ERYIZO
SENT
ME
AND
NICE
VIDEO
Drifloon can also read a book.
Who's seen the drifloon comic dub where you see how they take the children into the afterlife?If you haven't seen it it's called Drifloon Comic Dub by Starlight the Cat
I had a really creepy dream about a Hypno last night and nowwwww......
Cue gen 1 Lavender Town Music
One question remains tho. Why did the janitor didn't see the driftloon?
so hoop does that mean that this is the answer to the seven't mysterie?
Who has been led here by Eriyzo? No?, Just me?
How do you know the little girl is from kalos because in oras on the boat where you get the blastoise mega stone if you go to the basement ( where you get left overs)there is a collector who speaks broken english
I have a Drifblim in Ultra Moon.... I’m scared now. Should I release it? I dont know its just, because of this, I kind of wish I didnt catch it in the graveyard on Melemele now. But, I have it at full affection and it kind of clutched and killed final form fused Necrozma, soooooo.... I think ill keep it. :D
You should
Team Aqua Cole I should keep it, or release it? Im guessing you mean for me to keep it.
{GS} Cman0422 oh I meant keep it, after all it's a drifblim not drifloon
Could the little girl be that one ghost girl in x and y. You only see her for a split second. And it would kind of make sense that she would own a Hypno. That could possibly be the same person only older.
Clinton Macpherson i highly doubt that... The XY ghost girl mystery is something else entirely...
gamefreak what you doing
Sp00ky
This sounds like the plot of it
so wait your telling me that hypno is a psychic ghost type!?!?!
i bet its "cool" of a dead lil girl , you mean "spooky" lol
I thought the broken English was because the little girl I'd a little girl and didn't fully learn the English and died before she could
Yeay I LOVE Drifloon and Drifblim
I feel bad for the hypo... Wow first time saying that XD
What if the little girl is phantena!
Sorry if I said that wrong.
NINTENDO WTF THIS IS A KIDS GAME!
Noah Dolan Nintendo can be known to be dark af
Before gen 8 oh lord hypno is so creepy I hate it!. After this Easter egg was found ooh I love hypno I want it in my team lol.
And drifloon only targets kids
February 21st is three days before my birthday in this game
Weird right?
Okie now ima play at night and see watduo
