[atrb=background,http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w491/kitkatkerris/lilac.png] A chill made its way down Sandy's spine for the third time in about three minutes, and she felt like something was wrong. They were being followed, she was almost sure of it. But proving it? Every time she turned around, she couldn't spot anything. Spirit felt the extra pressure on his back and kicked his back leg up harder to let Sandy know she had to calm down and stop fidgeting. "Sorry Spirit. I just feel like something's wrong." As the shriek resounded, Spirit's ears caught it faster than Sandy's. He quickly lurched sideways, allowing the Ghost type to pass them and avoiding a potential disaster. This Duskull was just as hungry as the last, and they were getting worse and worse as they progressed through the forest. He knelt down slightly so Sandy could slide off his back. Sandy held the bundle to her as her eyes focused on the Duskull. She was scared, but mainly because she was worried this one would be like the last one, and Spirit would end up like he was last time. But the fire horse pushed her by bumping her, urging her to go hide behind one of the abundant trees. "But Spirit.." A loud snort stopped her, and se nodded as she ran back to hide behind one of the trees, peeking out from just behind it. Spirit turned back to the Duskull and reared up before charging, flames collecting around him before he became lost in a ball of fire, aimed right towards the Duskull. Flame Wheel was something he knew he'd rely on often. What a troublesome girl Sandy was.

[The REAL Joey]

Letting out a fettered moan at missing its target, the deceased lumberjack spirit that had since transformed into that of a Duskull turned creepily to longingly stare at Sandy once more. Its open mouth seemed to suck the very fabric of reality around it. Just as it had done in its previous life, scrounging away at the heartbeat of the forest, this ghoulish extension of the villainous male was just as consuming in its afterlife. Noting that Sandy had got off her fiery steed, the Duskull cackled. If it meant it would have to snuff out the life of the horse to get at not only Sandy but the Chikorita as well, then so be it. Beginning to levitate itself forward, the vengeful ghost saw the sudden outburst of light penetrating the putrid darkness that veiled this nook of the forest.

Cackling, the Pokemon disappeared in a thick wisp of smoke as the flaming wheel singed through the noxious fumes. Looking around, it became apparent the troublesome Duskull had somehow moved itself out of harms way... But to where? A loud shriek was all it took to give away its position. Having used its powers to phase out of the way, the despicable ghost was closing in on Sandy and the Chikorita and the group of trees she had hid amongst. Raising its sleeved arms, the Duskull lifted up its skull like mask as the sucking black hole began to tear at the fabric of reality once more. Fortunately for Sandy, as opposed to tasting the succulent nectar of the girl's life, the Duskull instead tasted a burning, fiery explosion in its mouth. Having figured out where it had ran to, Spirit had wisely countered it just in time.

Its entire body engulfing up in flames, the Duskull let out a number of hideous wails before it began sinking into the swampy marsh below, a single out raised arm trying to continue its grasp on this world.
