Nothing to be afraid of!

[Scuro]

Having left the pokemon center, Scuro and Ezio decided to look around Tarro Town. Desolate defined it all, there was hardly anyone and there were only a few actually places to see. There was a a pokemon gym near the center of town and a haunted mansion to the south. A supposed haunted mansion with creepy history as expected of most haunted things.

Although strangely, Ezio seemed set on going to haunted mansion. Ezio illusively darted before Scuro with pure ambition. Scuro being as agile as he was had quite the competion since Ezio was just as fast as he was. Ezio had the advantage of being able to go through solid objects while maintaining his speed. This is what Scuro wish he could achieve, the ability to move across surfaces with such mobility as if he were... Not noticing he was at the mansion gate Ezio licked Scuro which seemed to awake him from deep thought.

This mansion looks as if it had been abandoned for decades. This Victorian style house one, with good imagination, could see this house for what it once was. Two stories high with giant stained glass windows and doors along with a lovely garden in front filled with ripe fruit trees and vivacious roses of assorted colors. All the while, Ezio was staring at the house with his wide gaping eyes full of crazed curiousity all on his purple haze of a face, tongue sticking out.

It almost seened like deja vu when the door to the house opened although it made the most creeky and midly disturbing growl during its opening. It seemed as if he were being invited to this ghoulish threshold. Scuro entered without caution and Ezio being right by his side made no motion as the door slammed shut behind them. There was light out but soon the sun would fall but this did not disturb Scuro nor Ezio as they saw this as enticing.

Looking through the living room, Scuro saw a peculiar looking object and picked it up. As he lifted the object, it faded in his hands. Quickly turning around, there it was...

[Cricket]

The house was silent for a couple of moments, the only sound coming from the swinging of a chandelier as a Sableye threw herself from it and began to crawl down the wall to try to get a better peek at the trainer. It was a rare occasion to get one this far... Once she sifted past the amount of people who booked it immediately when something creepy happened, then she could really have some fun.

She crawled in the shadows, being sure to remain unseen by the trainer. As she scaled the walls, her glittering diamond eyes remained fixated on him every time she paused. There was a Gastly there, who she had simply assumed was confused, hovering so close to him. How was that even scary? She could hardly get good terrified responses if the other ghost types in the house weren't cooperating.

There was a bark from upstairs, but the noise was silenced quickly, replaced with a soft whimper. She froze, watching to see what the human would do.

[Scuro]

Scuro had almost a sixth sense while Ezio was hovering around him. The strange connection he had felt when they first locked eyes was one of supernatural strength. Now looking at an acute angle, Scuro could see the eyes from which he knew had been watching him. These glossy diamond eyes saw through the darkness and stared at him with pensive action.

Closing his eyes, Scuro slowly lifted his hand, pointed his index finger towards the the purple pokemon and told Ezio,"Go and put him to sleep!" Ezio quickly faded behind Scuro leaving only the purple haze in which now surrounded him. Ezio fading from corner to corner, leaving small disappearing specks of his aura , hoped to confuse his opponent and catch it off guard. Now close to the purple pokemon, Ezio used Hypnosis.

[Cricket]

The Sableye watched intently, startled by the way the Gastly moved. Why did it seem like he was following some kind of unsaid orders? Was this Pokemon on the human's side..? She didn't wait to find out, crawling down from her perch on the wall and standing on two feet instead of all fours. There were beams coming her direction now, and she lowered her head protectively. Surprisingly, however, there was no effect.

She peered at the trainer and Gastly, her diamond eyes allowing her to see them perfectly in the dim lighting. What was that? She didn't dwell on the question, jumping forward and quickly lashing out with sharp claws in a Scratch attack.

[Scuro]

Scuro was surprised to see that the Hypnosis did not affect the pokemon at all. Ezio now staring intently as the pokemon lunged forward with sharp claws decided to quickly evade the attack. Scuro was amazed to see this pokemon's claws in dim lighting. Then Scuro thought about the attack and decided it would be useless to try it again, then he shouted' "Use Spite, Ezio".

[Cricket]

Spite? That didn't sound so good. She didn't feel anything for a moment, but then something snapped in her head. She flinched, and took a step back. The move she'd intended to use again, Scratch, disappeared from her mind . She glared at the opposing Gastly (as much as something with diamonds for eyes could glare), using Leer instead. Her makeshift eyes glowed a dark purple, intending to lower the other's defense.

[Scuro]

Ezio couldn't help but stare directly into those diamond shaped eyes and feel something pass through him. His defense had given way and felt as if he needed to attack. Scuro didn't have to say anything, Ezio zoomed in quickly on the mysterious pokemon in hopes to lick its face with its long pinkish hue of a tongue. Scuro felt as if he could tell his pokemon what move to do next without uttering so much as a word.

He quickly put his hand into the bag he had been given and retrieved a pokeball and a pokedex. The pokedex flopped opened and told him in detail what the pokemon was. Scuro was wondering what this item was before but had no time as his pokemon in the dark of battle.

[Cricket]

Sableye
A Ghost and Dark type pokemon. Sableye like to live in caves, surviving from eating rocks and gems. This diet gives this Pokemon diamond eyes that allow them to see in dim lighting. Sableye are said to prank trainers for attention, due to the solitary environment from which it resides.

The loud electronic Pokedex startled the Sableye, and the move hit without fail. She shuddered as the long tongue made direct contact, making her body tingle in an unpleasant way. There was a scary hesitation where she wondered why she couldn't move away or return the attack. She couldn't even take a step before she crumpled to the ground, shivering. The Paralysis the move caused scared her, and at this point, she didn't care if she was captured as long as she'd be healed.

[Scuro]

Ezio retreated back to Scuro since he heard his friend's voice in his head calling him back. Once Ezio was by his side, Scuro saw that Sableye was paralyzed but looked passed that. He felt something as he saw the Sableye in its diamond shaped eyes and that feeling was between sadness and happiness. This was because Scuro wanted to attack again but did not want to hurt it further. Then he saw the shine off the pokeball in his hand. One second of silence, full of thought followed by the quick release of the pokeball out of his hand. Scuro's and Ezio's eyes watched as the red and white ball flew through the air.

[Cricket]

The Pokemon was absorbed in the rush of red light as the Pokeball landed on her. She remained motionless, not even struggling. The ball wiggled once... twice... Ping!

As if in response, there was another bark from upstairs, followed by a growl. The barking stopped, once more. From a window close by, a Weedle peered in, clearly finding the battle exciting. At least, more exciting than anything else this town had to offer.

[Scuro]

Scuro was happy to have caught his very first pokemon. He decided to name her Celia. Scuro thought of the many names of people he would meet on his adventures and Celia was just one of the names he liked. Although he still had yet to talk to them and actually converse rather than just stare and contemplate what they could talk about.

Nevertheless, Celia was paralyzed and he knew he couldn't just have her in battles considering she was wounded as well. Just as Scuro, was thinking about whether or not to continue exploring the haunted mansion, he saw a pokemon on a window nearby. Scuro quickly pulled out his pokedex which told him about the pokemon which was a "Weedle". A bug type pokemon, he thought. He still was not sure if he would want to diversify his pokemon. He was always been surround by ghosts and nothing else.

Scuro wondered for a moment, then Ezio swiftly darted towards the Weedle with Lick.That tongue had its own ghoulish taste which made him curious as to why its paralyzed Celia.

[Cricket]

Weedle
A bug type pokemon. Weedle is most commonly found on the forest floor, sniffing out edible leaves. In order to avoid being stepped on, Weedle is both bright yellow color, and is also equipped with a large horn that will inject poison if threatened.

The Weedle was definitely caught off guard, turning a slight purple color when the tongue engulfed his body. He trembled for a moment on the windowsill before falling back into a bush. The leaves crunched beneath him, and he froze for only a second before worming his way back onto the wall.

What the heck was that for? He thought, choosing not to say anything to this undeserving trainer. Eyes narrowed, he pulled himself back up on the window. With only a second or two used to aim, he lunged forward, stinger pointed at the opposing Pokemon.

[Scuro]

Scuro saw the Weedle fall over and heard some noises. He wondered if that were it. As Ezio returned, both were caught off guard by the sharp stinger. Ezio had been hit, Scuro looked at his pokemon and noticed he had been poisoned. Scuro wasn't quite sure what to do. He decided to have Ezio move in quickly stare that pokemon to sleep.

[Cricket]

The Pokemon found himself falling off the windowsill again, this time with a more permanent ailment. He laid on top of the bush now, making no attempt to get on the wall again, completely passed out.

Before Scuro had time to bask in his glory, however, there was a sharp growl and a bark from behind him. There was no time before a Poocheyna bounded down the stairs, followed closely by a slightly larger one. <Intruder, intruder, intruder!> The youngest of the two brothers called, growling once more and lunging at Scuro's leg.

<For the love of all things good, brother, get off of him!> The larger one said, skidding to a halt and proceeding to bark angry commands like, <Stop!> and <Now!> at him. None of which had any effect as the small dog tried hard to get some kind of skin. Neither of the dogs were aware they could be understood by the human.

[Scuro]

Scuro realized that he could understand not just his Gastly but the other two pokemon as well. Quickly noticing the predicament he was in, he had no other choice but to run although it seemed difficult to do so. Closely watching so he would not be bitten by either of the two dogs. Scuro quickly released Celia, although it pained him since she was hurt. Celia now out in the darkness, looked at Scuro and felt his uneasiness. Turning back, Celia was ready to defend her friend.

"It was time for a double battle", Scuro said to himself. Ezio's health seemed to be fine for now but had no concept of how fast the poison would be. Ezio was ready for another "Lick" attack and Celia was ready to to scratch up anyone or pokemon, for that matter, that would harm him.
