Elizabeth's Cataria Region
Prologue:
The forest was quiet and somewhat eerie as I walked through. I could feel eyes watching my every move as I crept along in the shadows of the trees. The wind whispered and carried faint cries, as I started to break through the forest, and stumbled upon a clearing. I was about 5 miles out already, and sunset had started. I squinted my eyes to try and see better, for in the middle of the clearing was a large rock, and something moving around it. The cries got louder as I moved closer, my father's Dragonite was waiting for me at the entrance way to the clearing, as if he was scared to go farther. I crept closer until I could see what was causing the movement. A Dusclops was holding a tiny new born Gastly down on a rock.
The cries were coming from the Gastly, and suddenly I could see a glowing purple light appear in a sphere shape in the palm of the Dusclops hand.
He then rose it into the air and started to thrust it down towards the Gastly, in a panic I yelled out to Dragonite.
"Dragonite, please, HELP!"
Dragonite leapt up as his tail started to glow white while it warmed up, then turned purple as he slammed his tail down with all his might, it hit the Dusclops dead on.
A purple fog formed all around us, blinding Dragonite and I. As the smoke cleared we could see that the Dusclops had vanished. The Gastly lay there on the rock, almost unconscious. I ran over to him, and scooped him up in my arms,
"You're going to be ok now, I'll take care of you." I whispered to the Ghastly as I softly stroked his head. "Dragonite, will you be able to give us a ride home?"
He nodded, and I climbed onto his back, cradling the Gastly in one arm while holding on with the other.
We arrived home, and my father took Gastly from me and put him in the poke-healer we own.
The Gastly awoke a few hours after, still weak. He looked up at me with his big eyes, and I looked back at him.
"So, how do you feel little guy?" I asked. He smiled, and floated into the air then licked my face.
"Gastly, would you be my pokemon, companion?"
He nodded and smiled, I pulled out my new Ghost ball, and lightly through it at him. It went right through him, and hit the wooden floor on the other side.
The beam of red light came out of the ball as it opened, and withdrew the Gastly into it.
There was no hesitation from the ball and then I heard the confirmation beep as I scooped up the ball. I released the Gastly from the ball.
"I don't think you should be cooped up in there Gastly. It's not fair to you, and also I want you to be out. But I want to give you a name... Something I can call you so your more unique then the other Gastly pokemon around here."
He smiled and nodded.
"Boo?"
He shook his head.
"Shadow?"
Still, a no.
"Spook?"
He smiled and nodded, it was a yes.
"Well Spook, welcome to your new home!"
