Chris walked along the pathway of the graveyard, shaking with every step. Abel the Charmander was (as usual) standing on his shoulder. <Why did you even bother coming here if you're so afraid of this place?> the Pokemon asked in annoyance. Chris sighed. "I know I've been afraid of Ghost Pokemon for a while now, but I have to search everywhere if I have a hope of finding my sister" he explained, looking down at the pendant that hung around his neck, the last memory of his family. <You're just worried that they might be able to take over your body and make you do things against your will aren't you?> Abel teased. "And how would you like to test my theory out?" Chris asked in counteraction.

"Gaaaas~" An eerie voice laughed. Visibility was reduced to zero as thick smoke filled the area. Only two glowing violet eyes shone through, tracing the boy's every movement. "Gaaaastly~"

Chris suddenly spun around, scared by the sudden noise. "Who's there?" he asked, wondering if it was just a prank. Abel shook his head. <It's obviously a Gastly> he said. However, this really freaked out Chris. "A Gastly!?" he screamed, stumbling back against a gravestone. "Don't let it get me!" Abel seemed really embarrassed by his trainer's behaviour. "<I hang out with this guy why?> he asked himself.

[Because you're just as pathetic as he is] Somehow, the ghost's voice was projected psychically. It was a deep voice that burned itself into the minds of those around it. Coming into full view, Gastly grinned sadistically at Abel. [Why aren't you frightened?]

Abel gave Gastly an incredibly furious look. "For one thing, I'M NOT PATHETIC!!" he yelled. "And secondly, I've experienced my worst fear, and it's much worse than you can achieve. Chris too has experienced great fear, but he's just a little afraid of ghosts. Now either go away or battle me!"

Ghost-type radiated crimson energy. A glowing mass of darkness began to appear, and when it was big enough, was sent flying Abel's way.
[How's that for an answer?] Gastly grinned, lunging for Abel with it's tongue extended.

Abel laughed and leapt away from the dark ball, landing on Gastly's tongue. <A Shadow Ball attack. That means you must be very strong. Good, I've been looking for a decent challenge for ages> Abel mocked, using the tongue to propel himself into the air and rain Embers down onto Gastly.

White-hot flames burned Gastly's still-extended tongue. Reeling in pain, it's violet eyes glowed in retaliation. Darkness surrounded the Charmander; Gastly's menacing laugh echoed in the background, dealing damage equal to it's mediocre level.

Abel wasn't quick enough to dodge this attack. As he fell down in pain, Chris raced forward and caught the Pokemon. "You okay?" Chris asked. Abel gave a nod and leapt up, still raring to go. <Wow, I haven't been hit by an attack like that before. This will be interesting> he commented.

[You've never fought a pokemon quite like me.] Sticking out it's scorched tongue, ghost-type raced foward, aiming to lick Abel into paralysis. [FIIIIIIIIIGHT ME YOUCOWARD!!!!!!!]

<I am no coward!> Abel yelled, leaping out of the way of the tongue again. <I know Scratch won't affect you, so I'll just stick with what works.> With this, he unleashed another Ember.

[At least you're not totally incompetent~] Mean-spirited Gastly chimed in a sing-songy voice. It squeezed it's eyes tightly shut, enduring the onslaught of flames for the second time. Unwilling to be burned any further, it fired another dark energy orb at the offending Charmander.

Abel leapt out of the way as best as he could, but his tail got caught in the oncoming Shadow Ball attack. <Not bad. Guess you're not totally useless after all> he mocked, firing more Ember attacks.

[USELESS!] It roared, glaring daggers at foul-mouthed Charmander. [I'LL SHOW YOU USELESS!!] Ignoring the pain momentarily, it's eyes glowed an eerie white. Shadows encircled Abel, spiritually binding the two pokemon together.
Gastly cackled, thrusting it's gaseous form directly into the flames. [If I am to die... You're coming with me!] Slowly, it whithered, feeling drowsy from such immense damage.

Chris was petrified by this attack. Suddenly, he realized what it was. "Abel, you have to return now! It's using Destiny Bond!" he yelled, returning Abel to his Pokeball. "Now Sparky, finish this with Thundershock!" he commanded, releasing Magnemite.

[Daaaaaamn you~] Electricity surged through it's body. It crumpled to the ground, unable to move anymore. Slowly, it's eyes fluttered shut.
Gastly was defeated! Each participating pokemon have gained 1 level. Do you attempt a capture, or move on?

Chris seemed a little hesitant at first, but eventually gave a nod. "Okay, Pokeball go!" he cried, throwing the ball towards Gastly.

Red-and-white orb twisted and turned for several minutes, the creature inside desperate for it's freedom. Slowly, it rolled to a stop.

Chris picked up the Pokeball, watching it disappear again. "Ghostfreak" he whispered. Abel looked up. <Wow, that's actually a cool name. Just like Megawhatt> he remarked.

Without skipping a beat, another fierce competitor arose from the shadows.
"SPIIINDA~"
Okay, so maybe not so much fierce, but fiercely adorable. Bizarre pokemon grinned at Chris and Abel, before charging at the latter. A max-power tackle aimed to catch Charmander off guard.
