Contest Dreams - Episode 2: Gastly and the Ghost Cave

The morning was cold and windy. May and Drew were walking on the road and headed to Amberhive Town to get their new contest passes. May was excited that she started jumping. Drew was annoyed by that but intended to ignore her. May stopped and looked around. There were a lot of trees standing on the green grass. The day was cold but the sky was clear with no clouds.

"It's cold out here," May started shivering but Drew just shook his head. He then looked into the sky. Something then suddenly came into May's mind.

"Did you think I wasn't going to come?" she asked. Drew stopped walking causing May to stop too. He looked at May and then just closed his eyes and grinned.

"Not really," he answered.

May looked at him weirdly as Drew continued walking. May wondered if he really didn't care. But she remembered seeing him in the S.S. Splash looking depressed as if he was desperate for May to come. Then she got that off her mind and the weather got a bit warmer. A few hours passed and May became tired.

"Can we relax?" she whined and let herself fall down on the ground.

"Fine," Drew sighed and sat down next to May. May then became mad and annoyed that she looked away.

"Why do you have to be like that?" she argued.

"Be like what?" Drew shrieked but May got fed up and stared at him as if she wanted to hit him.

"Every time I try being nice to you, you are always rude," May shouted that Drew backed up.

May then just sat there motionless. She was very angry but seemed a bit sad. Drew just stared at May confused wondering what she meant or was saying. They both became silent and stared into the sky. May feeling upset and Drew feeling careless. Then a squeaky noise came from someplace. May and Drew turned around and saw each other all puzzled. The noise was heard again and they looked around wondering where it came from. There was nothing expect themselves.

"Was it you?" May asked getting a bit scared. Drew shook his head and said "No."

The noise kept going leaving May and Drew clueless until they became confused.
May then saw something dark-purple pass quickly behind her and then it disappeared the second May turned to see what it was. Then Drew saw a bunch of pebbles with a blue glow approach them and then started hitting Drew. One of them hit May and she turned around looking at Drew with an angry face.

"Why did you throw rocks at me?" she shouted.

"I didn't throw anything!" Drew shouted back.

Then May started glowing blue and was lifted from the ground. May panicked and yell at Drew to get her down. She got higher and Drew tried getting her down by grabbing her leg and pulling her down. Then the blue glow around May disappeared and she fell crashing down and landing on Drew.

"Get off of me" Drew said as him and May both got up and searched around if anyone was there.

Then May started glowing again and Drew heard a weird laughter coming from behind the trees. Drew turned around and May was still glowing and then she went flying around in the air until she became dizzy. Drew tried grabbing her but she was too high, he couldn't reach her.

"Help!" May screamed to the top of her lungs.

Still glowing and in the air, May started floating away and Drew ran to follow where May was going. Obviously May wasn't doing anything but then she saw a dark-purple ball sticking come in front of her and stuck it's tongue at her. It's eyes were also glowing blue like May. May took out her pokedex and the little red computer spoke,

"Gastly. The Gas Pokémon." said the pokedex. "Almost invisible, this gaseous Pokémon cloaks the target and puts it to sleep without notice."

Then May's pokedex came out of her hands and was floating in the air too.

"Give that back and let me go!" May shrieked and tried escaping but she couldn't.

Drew came and stopped when he saw Gastly. It stuck it's tongue out again and laughed which then it started flying away and May was going the same direction as Gastly, slowly floating in the air hoping that she would get down.

"Drew!" she shouted loudly and again tried to escape but then realized she couldn't.

Drew then shook his head confused and started running after them. But he couldn't catch up because the more closer he got, the more faster May and Gastly went.

"Let me go!" she repeated more loudly than before but Gastly ignored her. She looked back and didn't see Drew anywhere. May thought that Drew probably just left her. May then frowned and Gastly just kept going bring May with it.
-----------------------

It was late at night and Drew was walking alone looking for May. But there was nothing except the trees and bushes on the sides of the path. The sky was, as usual, dark-blue with stars lighting the night making it look like dark blue-colored paper with glitter on it. But Drew kept walking while he wondered where May could've gone. Then he saw something go past him quickly that when he blinked, it was gone. All he saw was something purple. He looked around him to find anything but saw nothing. Then a purple ball came behind his back and it appeared to be Gastly. Gastly laughed at Drew and when he turned around, Gastly disappeared and came other the other side. Then Gastly laughed quietly and then continued laughing at Drew. Then Drew turned around and saw Gastly.

"Where's May?" he yelled at Gastly.

Gastly just stared at Drew, acting innocent and then started going away. Drew followed it hoping that it'll lead him to May. But then Gastly started fooling around with Drew by going back and forth. But Drew just stood there annoyed watching Gastly do it's foolish things and then Gastly became sad of Drew's seriousness and started running away.

"Hey!" Drew cried as he ran after Gastly.

Gastly went into the bunch of trees but Drew ran in them too. He was chasing Gastly for a while until it entered a big cave. Drew stopped running and looked at the cave from the bottom to the top. Drew thought that maybe that's where May probably is, so Drew entered slowly into the cave.
----------------------------

The cave was dark and impossible to see. It felt cold and moist. Drew walked in the cave searching for either May or Gastly. But there seemed to be nothing except for rocks everywhere. Some rocks were dull, small, sharp and large. Drew tried to be careful even though he couldn't see anything. He then heard a small faint cry and Drew tried following it but it faded away rapidly. He a small white light ahead. The light became bigger and then smaller until a small purple figure appeared. Drew saw that it was a Sableye with it's white diamond eyes shining. It looked at Drew and made a big grin showing all of it's sharp, pointy teeth. Drew watched it disappear into the darkness of the cave until it was gone. He decided to search for May, but the more he went deeper into the cave, the more darker it got until nothing was visible. Then he heard a cry that sounded like May.

"May," Drew shouted but there was no response. Drew couldn't see anything that he fell into a deep hole that led him into a room with boxes everywhere.

"Drew!" said a voice that sounded familiar and Drew turned around and saw May tied up and sitting on the marble floor.

"What are you doing here?" Drew asked coming to May and untying her.

"Well after that Gastly took me away, some Duskull started attacking it and just took me away into this cave and tied me up and..." May paused and saw something behind Drew. It seemed to be a Duskull. Drew turned around and saw it too.

"Duskull Dusk," Duskull approached May and Drew and they moved back until they were at the wall. Then Drew stepped in front of May and Duskull backed up a little.

"What do you want with her?" Drew asked, yelling at Duskull.

"Dusk Duskull Dusk," it said and a couple of Duskull appeared coming from the walls. They surrounded May and Drew which scared May.

"Maybe if we leave, they'll be happy." May whispered.

"Well if they brought you here, what makes you think they'll be happy if you leave," Drew whispered back.

"True," May looked down for a moment and looked back up. May and Drew were completely surrounded until they saw Gastly from behind the Duskull. Nobody said anything and Gastly threw a Shadow Ball at the Duskull making a big explosion.

"Come on," Drew cried and grabbed May's hand and they both ran out a door that led them to the cave. Gastly followed them. And then the Duskull came and chased after them. Although May and Drew couldn't see anything nor they knew where they were going so they just kept running until they finally came out. Gastly also came out and so did the Duskulls that looked injured but mad at May, Drew, and Gastly.

"Duskull," said one of the Duskulls that stepped forward. May, Drew, and Gastly backed up and stared at them afraid and scared, especially May who was hiding behind Drew.

"Why don't you just leave us alone," she whined but that only made the Duskulls more angrier. Gastly tried telling the Duskulls to leave May and Drew alone but they ignored it's words.

"You know sometimes if Gastly can't do anything, then we'll have to do something," Drew took out one of his Pokeballs and told May to do the same.

"Roselia, come on out!" Drew threw the pokeball and out came Roselia.

"Rose, "it said looking at the Duskulls.

"Ok," May slowly took out one of her pokeballs, still shivering from fear, she tried to act brave.
"Come on out Skitty"

May threw the pokeball and out came the small pink little kitten, Now all the Duskull became nervous but still stood there. May then felt safe and decided to attack first.
"Skitty, use Blizzard,"

Skitty threw a long blast of white snow hitting the Duskull but they weren't affected a lot. Then it became mad and launched a Shadow Ball directly at May and Skitty.

"Roselia, use Petal Dance! Drew ordered and hundreds of petals shot out of Roselia preventing the Shadow Ball from hitting May and Skitty.

"Thanks Drew," May said politely looking at Drew.

"Don't thank me," Drew shrugged then looked at the Duskull.

"Duskull," said all of the other Duskulls which they were all mad.

"Gastly," Gastly stood in front of May and Drew and tried again telling the Duskulls to leave but again the Duskulls continued to ignore it which then made Gastly mad and it threw a Shadow Ball at the Duskulls which gave a direct hit and caused an explosion around the area. May, Drew and Gastly ran away as far as they can keeping themselves away from the Duskulls. They kept running until they grown tired and decided to stop. All tired and worn out, May and Drew laid on the road and Gastly watched the road in case of the Duskulls coming.

"Are we safe yet?" May asked out of breath and trying to get it.

"I think so," Drew answered who is also out of breath, "If the Duskull aren't following us, then yes we are safe."

"Gastly," Gastly cried happily but when it looked at May, it became sad.

"I think Gastly wants to apoligize," Drew said looking at May, then turning at Gastly. May smiled and Gastly came to May slowly and looked at her in a sorry face.

"It's alright Gastly, I forgive you," May said softly. Gastly became happy and then disappeared into the dark trees. It became morning and the sky was blue but the sun wasn't out yet. May and Drew still laid on the road all tired and wanting to sleep but they just watched the morning sky set up to start a new day.
