"Born from gases, anyone would faint if engulfed by its gaseous body, which contains poison."

Once there was one war of epic proportion

One that threw the powers of the world into distortion

Yet weapons of great power were used on both sides

Should the soldiers be blamed - Ha! They only do as their leader confides!

And yet, as the men of Kanto thrust themselves into this war

There were sinister, dastardly intentions beyond their doors

Deadly and devious and disrespectful galore

For Kanto's leaders were preparing a gloriously horrendous score

The weaponization of a ghost shall end this day

And destroy town upon town until skies are gray

Gastly was the ghost's name, numerous at their disposal

Yet, the military still had to confront the gentle Fuji their proposal

The humble man declined, of course,

For he did not wish to see the war take such an evil recourse

His statement was null, however, for the military did as they pleased

They dearly felt that this poisonous ghost would bring the enemy to their knees

And so, hundreds of Gastly were put into service

Despite the users being deathly nervous

But they would not last long,

For the Pokemon poison was very strong,

And erased a large village within minutes upon its use

And the remaining leaders of Kanto were left with no excuse for its lethal abuse

So we shall remember the war in earnest,

As every doctor and internist,

Shall agree, that the use of poisonous Gastly

Was a move that committed genocide, and shall be outcast for eternity.
