Here's the next chapter guys and gals. I'll explain a few things at the bottom. Enjoy!

SKRACHEERrrooo... As the last of the jammers were destroyed with a whine of a machine shutting down, Batman made his way back up to the surface. Along the way, he came across some Two-Face thugs joining up with the Penguin's forces. After quickly dispatching them and interrogating the Riddler informant, he continued to the surface. When he reached the exit to the top, another transmission came across from the Penguin. "'Ello, boys. I don't know if you've 'eard, but some of my men 'ave come across a strange creature. Want to prove yourself to me? Come and fight it! And I'll be generous. If you lose, you get demoted to the lowest rank we 'ave. Better'n dying, ain't it? After all, it's the best entertainment I've 'ad since coming to this 'ellhole!"
The transmission ended, leaving Batman with a little bit of worry for the creature. If the Penguin was entertained by it, at least he wouldn't kill it right away. But it was still possible the creature would not be happy. Making his way to a point where he could grapple up to glide, Batman stepped on something. He looked down and picked it up. It appeared to be some sort of bracelet, with a multi-colored stone inset in the bracelet. The stone had a swirl of DNA on it. He put it in his utility belt, and as he did so, noticed another stone. This stone was purplish, and also had a swirl of DNA, but it seemed to be inside the rock. Figuring the two were connected, he put them in his utility belt for later study, and continued on to the museum. He hoped the creature was alright.

Gengar was having the time of his life...or is it afterlife? Either way, these humans were so easy to scare, he barely needed to try. They had backed off the moment he grinned his creepy grin, and after he melted into the shadows, they outright panicked. It was as if they already feared the shadows, as if they had experience with something attacking from the dark. "Where is it? Where did it go?"
"I dunno! Do ya think it knows Batman?"
There it was again. Batman. Whatever this Batman was, they seemed scared of it. Maybe it was a hero of sorts? Didn't matter. Right now, Gengar had some thugs to scare. Popping out of the shadows behind some thugs, he made his move. Letting his tongue out, Gengar used Lick on one thug, causing him to fall to the ground, shivering in revile and fear. As another thug shouted upon seeing him, he made to attack Gengar, only to be knocked out by Gengar's Sucker Punch. Another thug began attacking the others, temporarily become Gengar's ally thanks to Hypnosis. Finding himself surrounded, Gengar unleashed a Dark Pulse, knocking many of the thugs and goons back and out. He continued to beat the inmates, unleashing Shadow Claws, Night Shades, Sludge Bombs, Shadow Balls, and Astonishes. He even beat the Machoke-looking human by using Phantom Force to sink into the Abramovici's shadow, and beating him up with his own shadow. When he came out of the shadow, he heard slow clapping.
"Well done, Gengar, well done." It was the ugly human. Penguin. That's what some of the thugs called him.
"There's one thing you forgot, though. You're trapped 'ere, you are. You don't know your way 'round the city. It'd be best if you stayed with me for awhile." Gengar considered this. He really didn't know where he was, and besides, the place was dark and cold enough for him.
*Fine. I'll stay.*
"Excellent. You'll 'ave to stay in one o' the display cases though. My men 'ave all the good sleeping spots, but we can make it comfy for you."
*I sleep in the shadows, you idiot.*
"I knew you'd like it! Let's make a deal. You provide me with entertainment, such as you 'ave tonight, and I'll take care of all your needs."
*You're not really giving me a choice here.*
"It's a deal then. Ricky!" Penguin spoke this last part into his radio.
"Yeah, boss?"
"Get your ass into the Gladiator Pit. Now!"
"Coming, boss."
The Penguin put his radio away, and looked back at Gengar. "Ricky-boy seems to know about you Pokémon creatures. E'll be the one taking care of you."
Gengar sighed and nodded. Behind him, Ricky appeared in the corridor leading to the pit. "You called, boss?"
"Take Gengar 'ere to an empty display case. Since you seem to be the Pokémon expert round 'ere, you get to care for it. I'll get you what you need to make it comfortable for the thing." At this, Gengar bristled. The ugly Penguin-boss didn't even consider him a living thing. Granted, he was a Ghost-Poison type, but he was still his own self, not a thing to be displayed in a case.
"Come on, Gengar. Let's get you to dat display case. Don't want da Bat getting da jump on us." That settled it. Whoever, or whatever, this Batman was, Gengar had to get to him. He liked the Ricky-caretaker, but Penguin reeked of evil and violence. Maybe he could convince Batman to not hurt Ricky. Ricky smelled nice, not like the Penguin-boss.
"Eh, one more thing, Gengar." Gengar turned to look at Penguin. "If the Bat comes, stay away from 'im. No telling what 'e might do to you."
Yep. Gengar was definitely finding Batman.

Okay, so here's me, explaining things.
One: Yes, I will, at some point, have Gengar Mega Evolve. For those of you that didn't get it, Batman found a Mega Bracelet and a Gengarite that fell with Gengar. Don't worry, I will only use it when absolutely needed, unlike Trainers who use it the first turn their Pokémon comes out of it's ball.
Two: I call bullcrap on Pokémon knowing only four moves. If that's true, how come in the anime Pokémon can swim and fly without learning Surf and Fly, but in the game you have to teach it to them?
Three: From now on, whenever Gengar speaks, and we're in his Third Person POV, his speech will be in asterisks, not quotation marks. Otherwise, all we'll hear is "Gengar".
Four: I'm going to have Gengar identify people by their name, and then what he deems their role to be.
I'll try to update when I can, but marching band practice has started. I'm lucky to have gotten these two chappies up -_-
Anyways, comment and favorite. Later!
