"C'mon, Usa, it'll be fun!" Dmitri was tugging Usagi into a dark and abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Mauville City. It once was an impressive facility dedicated to producing pokemon products and other goods in its century tenure, before being condemned after a few misshaps with some unfortunate pokemon.
Ever since then, many critically acclaimed the warhouse was haunted. We'll have to go see, but I've never been one to believe in ghosts. Though Ghost-type pokemon were undeniable fact. Perhaps they would live up to their reputation tonight. Or maybe they wouldn't even show.
"Let's get going! Keep close so we don't lose track of one another." He couldn't quite approximate how close he was to Usagi, but he was practically stepping on his heels as he pushed the former across the entryway. Nothing yet, huh? He kept shoving against Usagi, forcing him onward.
I can't even see him in the dark like this. His lips spread wide in a devious grin. Think of all the things he could do, without Usa being able to prove or see any of it. What was that?! He could've sworn he felt a hand on his shoulder; was that Usagi's?
"It's cold in here. I don't suppose they keep the place warmed up." He pulled his coat off his shoulder and tossed it on, sliding his arms into the sleeves and accidentally nudging Usagi somewhere with his outstretched fingers. Whoops.
"S-sorry Usa, I can't see." It was going to be a real nuissance to try and compete with enemy pokemon in the dark, hopefully Usagi had something to cope with the darkness. I don't know about this.
Another day, another adventure with Dmitri.This time, the two set out to explore the abandoned factory. Dmitri probably picked this place because i mentioned i wanted a ghost type added to my team... The thought of his partner in crime being so thoughtful, brought a smile to Usa's face. Not that Dmitri could see it though. The place was so dark that Usa could hardly see anything.
Upon Dmitri's request to stay close, Usa pressed himself up against the trainer in an effort to not get lost. Pity he didn't bring a flashlight. Perhaps if he knew where they were going before hand... He glared at Dmitri to express his disapproval of not being told where they were going... waisted effort. The place was too dark.
As they ventured deeper, Usa had time to reflect on things. They were spending more and more time together, and he was becoming more comfortable...Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. Absol can use Fire Blast...we can make a torch "Dmitri", he called out, "Help me find a piece of wood...we can make torches". He began to feel around for any long and wood-like objects.

"Alright, I'll think of something." Dmitri struggled in the dark, it was one of his greater fears. I just have to get wood. But where was he going to find wood in an abandoned warhouse? Depending on what they manufactured, there might be debris and wreckage littering the floors. He kicked around but his feet almost gave way to the dust caking the floor. Yikes.
Did I bring anything we could use? He thought about it, but certainly there was nothing. He kept pushing Usa forward blindly, holding onto him tightly. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. He had underestimated his fears, and his thoughts were festering with fright.
He felt his foot brush against something on the ground. It nearly took him off his feet, but holding onto Usagi braced him against falling. Dmitri tip-toed a foot out towards where he'd felt it, rolling it back towards him before bending low to pick it up. It feels like a wooden chair leg, maybe? This could actually work! He tries to garner Usagi's attention.
"Okay, I got wood. Now help me light it up." He could feel it was rotting, not from decomposing but just dry rot degradation. He snapped it into two pieces and handed one to Usa. If he can't see we're made for each other after tonight, I'll just have to keep showering him in dorky pick-up lines. He awaited the torches.
Soon as they were lit, however, a crash came from somewhere in the far reaching corners of the building. He jumped, tugging Usagi backwards and putting himself in front. There was a source of light, and he felt much less afraid for it. If it had happened in the dark, he might have cowered and whined.
If Usagi hadn't suggested a torch, he'd know how much of a coward I was. He didn't like to think about how Usagi might feel about cowards, so he pretended to be brave for him, instead. He waved his torch forward to-and-fro, attempting to taunt whatever made the noise.
"We should ready our pokemon; are you keeping Absol out?" Dmitri wanted to bring out Hoodini, but he was vulnerable in most situations. His Dazzling Gleam might prove useful at least as a finisher, so he decided on Bowser.
"Where are you, Ghosties, I'm not afraid!" He could still feel where Usagi and him were tied together, and it made him want to be strong and fearless. It made Dmitri want to show Usagi that he was more than ready to face a challenge with him at his side. This was why he brought Usagi along.
Dmitri sent out Bowser! (Skorupi Lvl 18) Bowser is standing at the ready!

Leonidas walked confidently. The dark was his domain, after all, and this was his time to show up Dmitri for the no good trainer he suspected that he was. Dmitri's startled jump caused the Absol to chuckle devilishly. But, he found himself getting irritated by the fact that Dmitri had thrown himself ahead of Usa in order to protect him. The no good trainer had beat him to the punch. Leonidas hissed as he composed himself and treaded forward towards the light. What was it? Guess he would have to wait and see...
Usa pulled on Dmitri's arm as he attempted to look over his shoulder. The light ahead of them was definitely peculiar, especially since the building was suppose to be abandoned. He walked ahead, quickly ducking to avoid being hit by Dmitri's torch waving. "You're not scared are you", he asked teasingly, "Cause if you are, Leonidas and I will protect you. The dark is where he's most comfortable, after all". Usa's words caused Leonidas to proudly stick out his chest. He began to prance with one eyebrow raised almost as if he was looking down at Dmitri. Usa leaned forward and rested his hand on the Pokemon's head. "You'll help me protect him, right buddy?" Leonidas let out a quick roar in agreement but, as soon as Usa turned around, he returned to his proud but judgemental gaze.

a sudden gust fills the room, knocking over things. the ghosts come out of the walls to surround the trainers. the gastly casts a mean look at the skorupi, locking it into battle. a purple gas fills the room. they're already attacking, because who dares to invade their warehouse?

"G-g-ghosts!?" What was it you were expecting, exactly? Dmitri hadn't expected them to function quite akin to supernatural ghosts, and yet they were the true paranormal sort indeed. But that merely served to make them more desirable in his eyes. Mean Look? I planned on using Skorupi anyways...
But he knew Litwick's secondary typing gave it an edge over Skorupi. "Help me focus down Litwick or he'll burn Skorupi to a crisp!" Bowser didn't seem to register the sentiment, but merely clamped his claws menacingly as always. "Bite the Litwick, Bowser!" It lunged forward, attempting to punish the litwick before it could leverage its advantage.
"Keep Biting!" Bowser tried to pin the target down with its pincers, but it slipped from his grasp. Still he charged forward, pressing the hunt and slamming eager chompers down on its waxy figure. That doesn't look like it tastes good... Dmitri stepped aside, allowing Usagi to stand side-by-side him.
Bowser was affected by Mean Look! Bowser used Bite @ Litwick! x2

Well, this was quite unexpected. The two ran into not one, but three ghost-type Pokemon! Guess Dmitri had a reason to be scared after all...
Hearing the fear in Dmitri's voice and seeing him slightly panicked by the encounter with "ghosts" made Usa snicker. You're not such a tough guy, are you?You're like a big teddybear...
The ghost Pokemon seemed hell bent on taking out Leonidas. Was it there instinct to get rid of the dark-type first? No matter. Usa found himself thrilled by the challenge. Pointing his torch in the direction of the ghosts, he ordered Leonidas into battle.
The dark-type lunged forward. At Usa's command, he launched into the air to avoid the impending smog. Usa was wary of the attack because of its nasty little effect, which left the target poisoned after dealing damage. But, smog was not the only attack that Leonidas had to evade. He was also the target of Drifloon's gust. Debris filled wind crashed into the Absol as soon as he jumped into the air, sending him hurtling back to the ground. But, with a quick menuevering of his body, the Pokemon managed to land on his feet. Good job Leo! Now, use fire blast on Drifloon and then Ghastly! Leonidas wasted no time. As soon as he landed, he blasted two Fire Blast attacks, one after the other, in the direction of both ghost Pokemon.

the ghosts quickly reorganize. litwick is gravely injured, but it moves on. gastly and drifloon fade into the walls, dodging each blast of fire. they regroup and attack again, determined to reclaim the building as their domain.

Skorupi missed first, but scored a Bite quickly enough. They all retreated, avoiding their attacks in earnest. But they recuperated and came back in force. Then their reprisal came, swiftly and without mercy.
"Bowser, Bite again! Except it was buffeted by Gust, and his health dipped, Bowser dropping to the floor before he stood once again, scuttling to the Litwick and attempting to chomp down on it. I thought he was the biggest threat, but that Drifloon is just as worrisome, at least for Skorupi. Dmitri needed to think and tread carefully.
"Dodge the Hypnosis!" Gastly would've impeded Skorupi's battle efficacy, but Bowser scrambled to evade the hypnotic stare and instead went bounding for Litwick. "Finish Litwick, quickly!" Skorupi leapt into the air, flinging itself towards the candlestick and attempting to snuff out its flame.
Bowser was hit by Gust! Bowser used Bite! Bowser dodged Hypnosis! Bowser used Bite! Bite(s) targets Litwick.

This was bad. Usa didn't expect the ghost-types to be so coordinated in their attacks. Though he was slightly impressed by their tenacity, he knew that if one of the three didn't faint soon, it would spell trouble for them.
A hypnosis? That would take Absol out of the match temporarily. Not good... Dodge hypnosis, Usa cried out, prompting Leonidas to move out of the way of the psychic waves. But, this left the dark-type open to the attacks of the other Pokemon. Leo was hit by astonish and then pelted with the flames of willow wisp, causing him to get burned. This is really bad...
Though the astonish didn't do much damage, the burn would do damage over time. Not to mention, Absol's physical power was now weakened. Not that he had any physical attacks that could hit anyway...
With a high level of intensity in his voice, Usa shouted: Use fire blast on ghastly!

one by one the ghosts fall to their demise. both gastly and litwick faint from each attack. drifloon's left to defend itself. it will still persevere for it's comrades. it shrinks itself, growing smaller and smaller, and with a final gust of wind, sends its last attack towards the absol.

"Alright Bowser, let's wrap this up!" With most of the threat gone, Dmitri felt wildly more comfortable here and now. Bringing Usa along had been a good idea. Somewhere in his backpack an egg stirred restlessly, sensing the thermal energy given off by all the fire spread by Absol and Litwick.
"Be careful with that fire, would ya?" It would be terribly coincidental if they managed to burn the place down around them and join these ghosts. Dmitri thought it would be ironic, and expected it would happen for how much of a prat he was sometimes. Instead he plucked a pokeball from his belt, and tossed it towards the gastly. He looks horrid, but maybe it's worth a shot training him.
He was suddenly reminded of drifloon, and barking orders at Bowser the bug sprang into action. "Tear that balloon up!" Skorupi made several attempts at harming the purple balloon, flinging itself skyward to sink its teeth into Drifloon.
Bowser leveled up! +4 Lvls (Lvl 22) Bowser used Bite! x2 Dmitri caught Gastly!

Usa watched with a smile on his face as two of the opposing ghost-types went down. After Dmitri threw his pokeball to capture the Gastly, Usa followed suit by tossing a pokeball at the Litwick.
All that was left now was the drifloon. The lonely ghost-type attempted to attack the two with a gust attack. But, Usa quickly called for his Absol to counter attack with a "me first". After a second of his horn glowing, Leonidas fired a gust of wind that rivalled the power of the Drifloon's gust. The two attacks collided causing an eruption of dust. This, Usa thought, would allow Dmitri's Skorupi to pull of its attacks without having to worry about being hit by gust. He then ordered Leonidas to use anther fire blast, just incase his assumption was incorrect.
Anticipating that the ghost-type would fall after being struck by either attack, Usa prepared a pokeball to capture the tiny ghost, just incase Dmitri decided to pass on it. The truth of the matter was, he felt sorry for the Pokemon, because if neither of them captured it, it would be left alone without its two friends...

even if drifloon tries to dodge, all the attacks are too much. they easily overwhelm it. combined, it takes too much of a toll on it. drifloon faints. the ghost, already a passing spirit, dissipates into the air, never to be seen again.
drifloon has been overkilled! skorupi gains 1 level absol gains 2 levels
there can be no more pokemon you may continue to post or claim your thread Dmitri Khvostov, Usa Keji
