Mishu wasn’t a firm believer in the supernatural. Ghost Pokemon were rumored to be wandering spirits of both humans and other Pokemon who passed. She considered the notion that this simply was due to superstitions that surrounded them and the limited knowledge that they had of different ghost type species as a whole. While walking through the murky landscape of Cypress Rest, Mishu paused as a strange chill crawled up her spine. Wide, bright amber eyes stared out through the rain-soaked terrain trying to peer between strange blades of tall grasses as though she might notice something hidden between their stalks.

“We promised we would protect you.” Mishu commented more to herself than to the hurt Chikorita in a soft sigh underneath her voice. “And we will.” Large white eyes appeared in thin air and floated before them, slowly forming a large mouth underneath its presence. The black ball of gas blended in the darkness that surrounded the densely populated Ilex, making it impossible for Mishu to discern Gastly’s body. She gasped at first, slapping one hand against her mouth as she backed away from the strange apparition. For a second, her own internal beliefs faltered. Were spirits of the recently departed a thing that existed within her world?

“We can’t join you.” Mishu held onto Chikorita tightly and searched for a safe place to lay the small brachiosaur on the ground beside her. She needed a rise in the ground so that the rain could pool away from Chikorita’s body. This would ensure that it wouldn’t pool around the sickly Pokemon’s face, risking the chance of causing Chikorita to drown on the rainwater that might accidentally slip between her lips. When she noticed the rest of Gastly’s form, Mishu relaxed and smiled enthusiastically. She could handle this easily. “Ika I need your help right now.” Mishu called out, tossing Ika’s ball up into the air with a click of a button.

The small blue squid with its large pink dome appeared in the flash of a bright red beam of light. She smiled sweetly and soared close to Gastly, reaching two of her long tentacles out to the strange ghost type. “Re..venge?” She stumbled over her words, trying to understand what Gastly’s plight was. “…why?” She inquired. Mishu snapped her fingers, getting her Pokemon’s attention, and pointed to the Gastly. “Please, Ika, use Payback on our opponent. It’s trying to hurt this poisoned Chikorita, who desperately needs our help protecting it.” Nervously, Ika nodded her head, first waiting to see if Gastly would change its tune. “Please reconsider. It’s not nice to hurt others. We could help you if you let us!” If that didn’t work, she’d try to slap the other Pokemon with her tentacles as hard as she could.

The strange Gastly had no interest in reconsidering it's plans and as it stared at Mishu and the odd looking jellyfish Pokemon she had gotten the attention of. Gastly could sense both a dark and psychic energy emanating from Ika but though that despite the double danger it faced that it might be able to catch the Inkay by surprise if it licked the poor thing at the start of the battle. Gastly disappeared inot the shadows as it tried to sneak up on Ika who despite having a decent type matchup was not able to track the evil spirit fast enough with her powers. Within seconds the Gastly reappeared right in front of her and licked her clean across the face as her entire body started to shudder from the shock the attack produced.

Ika struggled to move her body for a few seconds before she managed to move just enough to summon some of her dark energy into one of her tentacles. The power surrounding the tentacles allowed her to smack the specter right across the face with a very strong right hook sending Gastly clean into a nearby tree before it faded into a purple mist. As it disappeared the area started to feel a bit lighter as it was no longer under the control of the vengeful spirit. The lingering power of the curse however caused Ika to retain her status from the battle and it would be up to Mishu to treat her Pokemon or run the risk of Ika being less useful against any of the remaining evil ghosts lurking in the forest.
