The ramp went up in spirals, and they kept going up.
Suddenly, a ghastly popped up.
"Yes!" said Sieneke, "I always said I wanted a ghastly!"
"This is no time for capturing pokemon!" said Gottschalk, but Sieneke had already sent her sandshrew out.
"Sandshrew, go! I choose you!"
"Sand! Sandshrew!"
And Sandshrew used sand attack on the ghost pokemon, but it had no effect.
"Oh no!" said Sieneke.
"Pidgey, go and help them out!" yelled Michael von der Heide, getting his pokeball and sending out Pidgey.
"Pidge! Pidgey!"
But pidgey's sand attack had no effect on the ghost pokemon either!
"Ah! Go and help them out, Pikachu!" yelled Gjoko, but he grabbed the wrong pokeball and sent Magikarp out instead!
"Magi... Magikarp!" said the magikarp as it flopped around on the floor.
"Oops," said Gjoko, as he got out his other pokeball and sent Pikachu out.
"Pika! Pikachu!"
But his electric type attacks had no effect on the ghost type pokemon.
"Horehronie!" yelled Kristina, holding up her blue pokeball, "GO!"
And her squirtle popped out of her pokeball, and it shot a water blast at the Ghastly, but it had no effect!
"Squirt? Squirtle?" asked the confused pokemon.
"No guys there's no time for this!" Gottschalk said, "Come on! We have to go!"
"Go! Piplup!" yelled Milan Stankovic, as he sent out his piplup.
"Pip! Piplup!" and the piplup shot an ice beam at the ghost pokemon, but it went through it because it is a ghost!
N'evergreen's charmander was still out, and N'evergreen said to him, "Charmander, go and help them!"
"Char, charmander!" Charmander nodded and went to help fight Ghastly.
"If you're going to fight," said Chanee, holding up a green pokeball, "Then I am too! Go... Bellsprout!"
"Bell! Bellsprout!" and the bellsprout tried to attack Ghastly with vines, but they went through it because it is a ghost!
"Nooo," yelled Harel Skaat, "Go, Bulbasaur!"
"Bulba! Bulbasaur!" and the Bulbasaur threw vines at the Ghastly, but they went through because it is a ghost!
"Come on now this is getting ridiculous," said Gottschalk.
Lena held up her silver pokeball, not wanting to miss out on the action.
"Gooo... Magnemite!" she yelled, as her magnemite came out of the pokeball.
"Magne... magnemite!" And it shot a lightning beam of electricity at the Ghastly, but it went through because it is a ghost!
"Hahaha," laughed the Ghastly, "You cannot win!"
"Yes we can," smirked Josh Dubovie, "You haven't seen British power yet!"
And Josh held up a brown pokeball, and an eevee popped out.
"Go Eevee, I choose you!"
"Eev... eevee!" and the eevee tried to tackle the Ghastly, but he went straight through it as Ghastly is a ghost!
"No, you cannot win..." the Ghastly continued, and it struck everyone for the first time that this pokemon could talk.
"Why can you talk?" asked Stefan.
"Because humans created me to talk. I was a prototype for the talking NPC's, such as Professor Oak only I have a pokemon sprite and look like a pokemon."
"Yeah, that's a real interesting story but..." Stefan reached into his pocket, "GO SEEL! GET HIM WHILE HE'S TALKING!"
"Seel! Seel!" and the seel tried to charge the Ghastly, but he went straight through because Ghastly is a ghost!
"I'm a ghost pokemon," Ghastly replied, "Don't you understand already, your attacks don't work!"
"We'll see about that," laughed Stefan, "Look how many there is of us, there is only one of you!"
"I want a ghastly!" said Sieneke.
"Look, you guys, this is getting silly," and Gottschalk pulled a yellow pokeball from his pocket and an electrabuzz came out, "Come on out, Electrabuzz."
"Elec... electrabuzz!"
"Me and Electrabuzz are going to the top, come on, we have to save the Americans, it's only at the top of this tower!"
"You are currently halfway through the tower," said the Ghastly, "However, I will not let you pass."
"Why not?" asked Robin.
"Because," said the Ghastly, "Humans have wronged me in the past. Made me and then left me here to rot, no one cares anymore."
"I care!" Lena said happily.
"God damn it you stupid ghost thing, let us pass already," snapped Stefan.
"Quiet Stefan," said N'evergreen, "Anyway, even if humans have wronged you in the past that is no reason to attack us. We are not all alike."
The Ghastly laughed.
"Oh, but you are all alike, what is it that is so important that you must get to the top of this tower?"
"We have to save the Americans!" said Gottschalk, "They are trapped in-"
"These 'Americans' you speak of, they are human, yes?" asked the Ghastly.
"Well yes of cour-" Gottschalk was cut off by the ghastly.
"Well then I will not allow you to pass," the Ghastly laughed.
"Come on you guys, it's just a ghost thing, we'll just walk straight through it," snapped Stefan, as he went to continue up the ramp.
"No you don't," said Ghastly, as Stefan levitated off the ground.
"Oh god what are you doing!" Stefan yelled, "Put me down!"
"Very well," said the Ghastly, who put Stefan down, "That was just me demonstrating my powers."
They stood in silence for a few minutes.
"Let us pass," said Gottschalk finally, "I'm warning you."
"Elec... ELECTRABUZZ!"
"Hahahahaha," the Ghastly laughed, "No I will not let you pass."
"Ok then, don't say I didn't warn you. Come on Ghastly, let us pass, one last chance." Gottschalk said.
"No," the Ghastly replied, crossing it's arms.
"Ok then, don't say I didn't warn you, Electrabuzz, use chaos destroyer!"
"Elec... ELECTRAAAAAABUZZZZZ!" Electrabuzz yelled as it's body got a dark aura and it slammed into Ghastly, knocking him against a wall and to the ground.
"It's super effective..." Gottschalk smirked, as he looked down at the Ghastly lying on the floor.
"Awww... you guys are so mean," said Sieneke, as she got out a spare pokeball from her pocket, "Come on Ghastly, get in here."
She summoned Ghastly into her pokeball.
"We're not mean, he made us do it!" Gottschalk protested, "Anyway, I don't think that Ghastly will be very happy when he wakes up and finds out you've captured him."
"Nonsense!" said Sieneke, "He is my ghastly now, we will be the best of friends!"
"Eh, whatever you say," said Gottschalk, as they continued up the ramp.
