Or so he wanted to tell himself as he shuffled through the pathways winding around Ilex's eerie woods. It was a much more comforting thought than the alternative. Not that it was working. The surrounding noises made his limbs chill, hair tickle as it raised along his arms and brought the afflicted grass type in tighter, or maybe that was just the dampness soaking in. His head swivelled around at any noise that seemed even slightly close. Crackle of the dispersing storm overhead didn't help with his anxiousness but he kept moving.
Despite this level of alert the ranger was no more prepared when the spook jumped out. He barely managed to react in time. The iciness building up from all the rain and mud made his body sluggish but Damien successfully manoeuvred the chikorita out of Duskull's reach by sacrificing his footing. The young lad went down to a knee in the brush. The pin prick cutting through his clothing barely registered as he instinctively reached for his belt.
"You can't have her," he growled at the ghost. Damien pushed back off the ground and turned to be facing this new opponent. A flick of his wrist brought forth his pokemon. "Booker, I need-" The range gasped lightly, his brain catching up to what his eyes were looking at: a baby swinub. "Shaggy!" he barely got out before a lump rose in his throat, free hand scrambling to recall and switch his young party member for someone else. The panic had him awkwardly lose grip on the chikorita. The red ranger hat slipped off but the leaf pokemon remained in his hold, which left Shaggy a sitting psyduck for the spirit.
Damien looked back to the battle to see Duskull looming toward the swinub. A pop sounded beside him and a green blur caught the corner of his eye as it raced forward to intercept.

The single red eye glowed in the ghost's sockets, fixed on the pained chikorita in Damian's arms. They couldn't leave, not now, not when it could get some unknown burning desire fulfilled, it could feel the grass type's pain and the suffering drew it close even though it didn't really know why. It wanted her, it needed her. The ghost's hand withdrew a bit and for a heartbeat the red eye flickered to look at the human. Then the shadow's grew in the hole clearing and the sound of the rain dulled even though Damien could still clearly feel it and was as soaked as before. It didn't react on Damien's words but instead spread its arms wide as it slowly drifted upwards, seemingly growing bigger along with the shadows. The swinub in front of it was paid no attention but of course if it was in the way of its goal to keep chikorita here, he would pay the price, like any other one would if they interfered. She was not going to leave this clearing. Shadows began to rise from the ground, surrounding Damien and Shaggy and whoever else was close to the sick grass type. Just as they struck the green streak raced in and took the attack, on purpose or not, and stumbled over the ground from it. the ghost's eye flicked annoyed to her for a moment before they fixed on chikorita again.

[attr="class","tab dt-neutral"] [attr="class","tab dt-neutral"] [attr="class","tab dt-active"] [attr="class","tab dt-neutral"] [attr="class","tab dt-neutral"] [attr="class","tab dt-neutral"] It was unfathomable how she had managed to save them all considering the apparent breadth of the duskull's attack, but Shaggy's wriggling form was clearly distinguishable as it approached through the relenting darkness. The soft crinkle of wet leaves followed the pig pokemon as he went, leaving Jade as the single barrier between them and their attacker. It was hard to see through all the hungry gloom, but Damien guessed from her quick recovery that she was alright for now.
"Shaggy, are you hurt?" The question was answered with a healthy snort, and echoed with a whimper from his arms. The pitiful noise sent a hollow pang through the ranger's arms. Without another word Damien withdrew the young swinub. Once the ball was replaced, and after a quick check he still had his full party secured and snatch of his hat, he made to stand and focus on the fight.
Jade had already begun her own engagement with the ghost. A pulsating glow enveloped her figure as she attempted to get back at least some of what Duskull had taken from her. The warm light made her a beacon; for better and worse. Just hopefully it would draw some attention away from the hyper focus these spirits seemed to have on the poor chikorita. Another pokemon may have gone further in trying to goad Duskull in order to keep its attention away from the sick pokemon. Jade couldn't quite will herself to go that far. Her limbs were already subtly trembling as she faced off against this foe.
"You're alright Jade." The encouragement helped.
"Siphon what you can. Stay focused," the boy said, but to whom? It would appear to be Jade, and certainly aided in keeping her confident as she stared down the ghost, but there was a trickle of tone one takes when idly talking to themselves when they think they're alone. Damien tried to ignore the pang of guilt that arose when he'd slipped Chikorita into the bowl of his headgear from the cradle of his arm. She still rested in his arm, panting and plagued by invisible demons, but hopefully now was at least slightly more secure. The hat was large enough he could fold the rim over and still provide some shelter from the rain.

The rain could be heard from the tops of the trees as it fell down upon the ranger and the pokemon they were desperately trying to protect. The ghost only knew that it must have that pokemon no matter the cost. Whether it was the little swine pokemon or this new foe, it must get through all of them. The little grass type called to it like a mothim to a litwick. It must have it all, and it would haunt all of them. Though it is paused in its menstruation when it feels it's health being sucked away by this new foe. The red glowing orb turns back to this new creature. Another shadow slinks against the ground, using the foliage to move it quickly. The shadow made a connection with the creature, but it seemed to only take a little damage since it had healed itself. Outrage! An outrage that they could heal, the ghost would hit it as many times as necessary. All to get to the pokemon that called to it, it must have that Chikorita. Yet it would never get the chance as the green pokemon once more seemed to drain its life force away healing itself in the process. Its vision got blurry oh so blurry as it drifted down into the same shadows that it had originally used to attack. Would it ever feel such a wonderful feeling again?

OOC Notes:
Shaggy not learning Flail.
Jade is not learning Slam or evolving.
I think Jade's remaining HP is incorrect. Duskull's moves are as per 1st post in Eerie Wood, not default level-up set :3 Which I think is the issue. She should have taken -34 damage (2 Night Shades as Duskull's only listed attack) and then at best healed +20, putting her at 40/54 before level up. Should be 73% (44/60).
