Hello again! I've been asked for a quick guide to the characters because they are so hard to keep straight. So here it is:
NAME TYPE MORPH
Ben Fire Magmortar
Sarah Psychic Gardevoir
Bryce Normal Ursaring
Iggy Bug Pinsir
Brett Fighting Machamp
Sam Ghost Dusknoir
Sandy Ground Sandslash
Clay Rock Rampardos
Damien Dark Mightyena
Alex Steel Aggron

Amy Ice Froslass
Emily Flying Pidgeot
Ivy Grass Leafeon
Kat Electric Ampharos
Jake Water Blastoise
Mark Poison Muk
Delta Knight: There it is. And thanks for the support. I try to keep the errors to a minimum, because I hate reading a fic that I can't…read.
Srgeman: Whoops…I sort of realized that after I posted. Sorry about that!
Mwc01: First of all, that has to be the fastest review ever. And ok, that's more doable. I'll try to.
Emperor Kra: …What finale? You're confusing me! If you're talking about the flashback at the beginning of the story, that was Pyro. If you're not, I have no idea what you mean. And is it Abysswing now? I'll remember that next time if it is.
And, time for apologies. I have not written in a while because of a mixture of a few things. First, my internet security code decided to delete itself, so I couldn't get on. Also, I've been working 40+ hours a week, so I don't have much free time, though I think I succeeded in getting my hours cut. Those things, plus other more personal issues, have basically grouped up in life kicking me in the face. Anyways, you don't need to hear about all that, so on to the story.

Bryce

"Sam? Are you…okay?"
The group stared at the silent, unmoving, spectral child.
"Ummm…Sam? Hellllooooooo!"
Bryce walked up to the ghost trainer, waving his hand in front of his vacant expression. Suddenly, Sam snapped his yellow eyes to the normal trainer, and sneered as he shoved his ghostly hand through his chest.

Sarah
--
Sarah ripped up a slab of rock with a Psychic, and used it to block Sam's Night Shade. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mark sliding towards the insane ghost morph, readying a Toxic in his mouth. She floated over to Bryce, who, being a normal type, was unaffected by the ghost's attack.
"What the hell is wrong with him?"
"I don't know! We can't hurt him though!"
Amy landed beside the two, still hurling Ice Shards over the makeshift bunker.
"The Rockets got to him. They're controlling him somehow. He wasn't in there long enough for them to have fully broken him and converted him to their cause."
"That's good right?"
Amy looked at Bryce and sighed.
"Yeah, that's good. If we can figure out how to snap him out of it. And I think I know just the thing."
Bryce looked at Sarah.
"If she hurts him, I swear to Arceus…"

Amy
--
Amy flew high over the battlefield, quickly scanning the area for any Psychic types that could be controlling the young ghost. No matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find any reason for Sam's attack.
"Well, that was a big waste of time...On to Plan B."
Amy floated silently down behind the crazed Dusknoir, who was firing Night Shades randomly at his former friends' hiding place.
"SAM! Stop NOW!"
He stopped firing, and turned to the sound of her voice. Amy gasped when she saw the pure hatred and insanity flashing in his eyes.
"Wh-What did they do to-"
She was cut off by a lightning fast Fire Punch to the chest, followed by a Shadow Punch to the head.
"Son of a-"
'Whoever is controlling him really knows what they're doing,' Amy thought as she struggled to recover from the two super-effective hits. 'but if they want to play that way, I'll hit harder.'
Amy dodged another Shadow Punch chain, and hit the young morph with an Ominous Wind.
'Amy, you've worked with the Rockets before, what the hell was that!'
Sarah's psychic question surprised Amy. She had no idea what she was talking…or…thinking about.
'Ummm… an Ominous Wind attack?'
'No, not that. When you hit Sam, something came out of him, and then immediately rushed back in. It was like an image was ripped out of him.'
Realization flooded Amy. She quickly thought back to Sarah and the others.
'They're using another Ghost Pokemon to suppress Sam's mind and possess his body!'
Amy, still dodging the possessed boy's attacks, ducked under what would have been a near-fatal Fire Punch to the face and dove through Sam, ripping the Rocket attacker out of him. When she saw the team member struggling under her, her face drained of all color.
"Lee?"

Ben
--
"What's going on? Why is Amy just standing there, and, most importantly, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?"
Ben glared at Brett, who instantly shut up. He turned back to the scene in front of him. Sam was passed out from exertion, and the…thing who had been possessing him stood facing Amy, both of them silent. The thing in question vaguely resembled a Misdreavus, though with a decidedly human body. The most disturbing thing was, however, that Amy was standing stock still, staring at the…whatever it was, and crying.
Then, the mysterious figure grinned, flew the fifteen feet between himself and Amy, and disappeared into her body. All the group heard was one last sentence from Amy before her mind was taken over.
"They've succeeded…And I helped them…Run."

Thanks for all your continued support everyone, and expect the next chapter within a few days. No really, believe me, it will be up in less than a week. I have gotten a second wind, and this story is now flowing out of me a bit better, instead of having to be pulled out word by word.
Till next time, I'm done, and please review
