Chapter 7: the challenge
/\/\/\/\
It was at least an hour after the professor read the journal. No one spoke… everyone had a worried expression on their faces.
"D-dad…" Matt spoke up "Wants me to confront the council of ghosts?"
"That's what the Journal said…" the professor said
"But how do we get to them?"
"The graveyard!" I said remembering when I last saw the council "When me and Cody were leaving the graveyard we-"
"Zzzzzip!"
"Humph!" the zipper closed again…
"Here" Matt said leaning towards me "let me get that for you!" he unzipped the zipper and for a second I thought I saw the charm on the necklace glow. Like always it felt relieving to get the zipper undone.
"So it is true!" the professor spoke up "The amulet works!"
"That's good to know" Cody said. I`ve noticed that he didn`t talk much anymore…
"What about the graveyard?" Matt said getting back on subject
"We met them there! As we were leaving they-"
"Zzzzzip!"
"Humph! HUMPH!!!" I yelled getting frustrated at the zipper
"We need to go to the graveyard!" Alex said "Since there isn`t another one for many miles we should be at the right graveyard when we get there!"
"Yeah let's go! I wanna get this annoying curse off of me!" Cody said cheerily
Everyone started to leave "We can take my van!" the professor spoke up "Matt. You can ride with me!"
"Cool!" he said
"Humph humph humph humph!?" I said trying to say what about me!? But failed and no one seemed to hear me from the excitement of everything. I ran to Matt and tugged on his jeans to get his attention and when he looked at me I pointed to the zipper.
"Oh! Sorry!" he pulled the zipper open and I felt relief

We reached the graveyard about dusk… when we got to the gates the charm started to float and a weird black door appeared at the gates. Matt opened the door and all of us were enveloped by darkness!
Soon we were standing in front of the council… giratina looked pissed…
"Why have you come here?" he shouted with anger "Why has the living step forth in front of me!?"
"W-we were sent here by my dad!" Matt said backing up. He showed the amulet and that made giratina anger level go over the top!
"YOU DEFILED THE SACRED AMULET, AND YOU DARE SHOW YOUR FACE TO ME!!!" giratina was so fearful that the rest of the council were hiding in terror! Except dusclops… who weirdly was actually enjoying this!
"We came here to get the curses on the entire ghost Pokémon lifted!" Alex shouted
"NEVER!!!" giratina shouted back
"What will we have to do?" Alex said. Giratina seemed to be taken off guard by this and thought about it for a minute.
"You there… wearing the amulet!" he looked at Matt "You and me will negotiate this."
"Yes!" Matt said
"BUT!" giratina interrupted
"But what!?"
"We are going to make this a little challenge!" he paused a moment "The rules of this little game are simple!" he seemed a little happy about this "You and me will be in a force field while your friends Pokémon battle the council! If all of your friends Pokémon are defeated then the council can do what they please to all of you humans and Pokémon!"
"W-what!?" Matt seemed taken back "I can't do that to my friends!"
"Don't worry!" Alex spoke up "We`ll be fine! Just negotiate with him! Don't worry about us!"
"O-OK… I accept the challenge!" Matt said as brave as he could
