Chapter 30: Grim grinning Ghost Types

Finally, it was time to take on the Ecruteak City Gym.

"Don't worry. I won't kick you out this time." It was the man that had pushed me out all those times. "Now. Here is your advice. Ghost types have two weaknesses. Ghost and Dark. However, Normal and Fighting type moves won't work, so just be careful."

I had two ideas…

"Welcome to the Ecruteak Gym! I am Morty, a researcher on Legendary Pokémon and an expert in the most phan-tastic Type, Ghost!"

I was ready to do this.

Morty's first Pokémon was Gastly. I sent out Quilava. Quilava used Ember on Gastly, which hit. Gastly then used Mean Look. I know what was coming up. Quilava used Ember once again. Gastly was hanging on. Gastly then used Curse, which knocked out Gastly. However, Quilava only had so much time now.

Next up was Haunter. Haunter used Night Shade on Quilava. Night Shade does damage equal to a Pokémon's level, so it took 24 HP away from Quilava. Quilava came back with Ember. It hit Haunter, but the Curse was knocking Quilava out. Haunter used one more Night Shade, which was just enough to have the Curse take out Quilava.

I sent out Venonat. Venonat used Confusion on Haunter, knocking it out.

Morty used another Haunter. Venonat used Confusion again, but Haunter came back with Mimic. After Venonat used Confusion again, Haunter used Confusion on Venonat. It was a Critical Hit, meaning Venonat was almost down. Venonat tried using Confusion again, but it missed. Haunter took it down.

Time for my next plan; Togepi.

Night Shade wouldn't work on Togepi, but this was also a risk. Togepi used Metronome and it turned into… Earthquake! Haunter was down.

I couldn't risk it anymore and withdrew Togepi.

Morty sent out his final Pokémon.

Gengar

060

Ghost/Poison Type

Shadow Pokémon

4'11" (1.5 m)

89.3 lbs (40.5 kg)

It steals heat from its surroundings. If you feel a sudden chill, it is certain that a Gengar appeared.

Evolved from Haunter after trade which int urn is evolved from Gastly at Lv 25.

Geodude was sent out. Geodude used Magnitude. It was only Magnitude 5. Gengar came back with Shadow Ball. This did a lot to Geodude, but my other plan was working. At that moment, I withdrew Geodude and sent out Sudowoodo. Gengar used Shadow Ball again, which Sudowoodo took. Sudowoodo then used Mimic. The next Shadow Ball Sudowoodo dodged, then Sudowoodo used Shadow Ball.

You see, Mimic is a move that copies the opponents move for the rest of the battle. So Sudowoodo will know Shadow Ball until the end of this match.

Gengar used another Shadow Ball, which Sudowoodo just took. Sudowoodo then used Shadow Ball back.

CRITICAL HIT! Gengar was down!

"You beat me. I congratulate you." Morty gave me the Gym's Badge, known as the Fog Badge and he TM for Shadow Ball! It also means that I could use the move Surf outside of battle!

What a spooky day.
