Hello, guys. Okay, lets get into the swing of things. The group are arriving in Lavender Town in this chapter and we'll be adding a couple of new Pokemon to their team. I am not gonna have a fun time with this chapter, well until everybody's favorite ghost appears...as I don't like Lavender Town one bit.
Luchia stretched her arms out, as she stepped off the ship onto the dock of Lavender Town. ''Ahh, that ship may be beautiful. But I'm exhausted. Can't wait to go and relax in the Pokemon Center. Right, guys?'' She looked down at her 4 babies, who nodded in unison. She giggled, before turning back to the rest of the group. ''Lets get to that Pokemon Center.''
''Hold on there, Lucie.'' said Ash, with a grin on her face. ''I wanna explore Pokemon Tower before we enter the center, as then I can catch another Pokemon. Being more general, I want a Gastly or Haunter as Gengar is an amazing Pokemon!''
Luchia's eyes widened, as she almost fell back into Misty. ''O-Oh...'' She was now terrified, sure she could get along with Pokemon now, but a ghost type Pokemon was completely a different story. She didn't trust the type one bit, she never had even as a child before the incident. ''...G-ghost types...ugh...'' She whimpered a little at the thought.
Misty gently hugged her. ''Don't worry, Lu. There's no reason for us to have to go to the tower, we can leave Ash to do her work on her own. She'll get scared and come running eventually.'' It got a giggle at her girlfriend.
Ash snarled at the words. ''Well, be like that. I'll get an amazing Pokemon and then you'll be kissing my feet for it.'' She gave a smirk and went running towards the massive tower, saying one last thing, whilst sticking her tongue out. ''Unlike the Pokemon you have, Lucie.'' She didn't mean it nastily, just as a little torment in her attempt to get Luchia to follow her into the tower.
Luchia growled and yelled after her sister. ''ASHLYN!'' She was now very frustrated, unsure whether to go and hit her sister or stay with Misty and stay away from that creepy tower. ''ARGHH!'' She eventually gave up, letting adrenaline fill her body as she ran after her sister.
Misty yelled out to her. ''Luchia, what on earth!?'' However, she didn't get a reply as Luchia was far too gone and even if she wasn't, she wasn't paying much attention to her surroundings in her attempt to catch her sister. Misty groaned, knowing that she'd have to go follow now. She picked up Gible and handed him to Cynthia. She then looked at the rest of Luchia's confused Pokemon, before turning back to the blonde. ''Watch the Pokemon, I'll knock some sense into those twins.''
Not giving Cynthia or Brock another word, she dashed off after the twins. She was internally groaning at the thought of having to keep the two girls sane. She eventually caught up to Luchia, who had stopped just in front of the tower, fear having obviously tapped back into her. Misty sighed, placing a hand on the ginger haired girl's shoulder. ''Look, I'll go talk to Ash for you.'' She paused, gently looking at her girlfriend's face. ''If you want to come, you can. I'll keep an eye out for the ghost types.''
''I'll go in...'' whispered Luchia, as she latched herself onto Misty. She looked up, as they entered the spooky building. ''B-besides, I heard that s-some ghost types are c-cute...M-maybe I can get one of the c-cuter ones.'' She shivered a little, at the sight of the numerous graves that filled the various floors, she heard foot steps and almost jumped out of her mind, only to realize it was Ash. ''D-don't do that...''
''So, you actually choose to come on her. Despite your fear over ghost types...'' said Ash slowly, as she looked at Pikachu. She then smiled. ''But well, it's a chance for you to overcome that fear for good.''
''Y-yea...'' Luchia whimpered a little. She stayed very close to Misty as they wandered through the tower, up one for then another. She was anxiously looking around at every moment, her face like a sheet. However, the shading on her face only got brighter and brighter with every sighting of a ghost type.
''Gengar!'' Came a cry from the shades, making Luchia jump out of her skin and hide behind Misty, crying for her life. ''Gen. Gen.'' Came the voice again, as a Gengar walked from the shadows with a Haunter to it's left and a Gastly to it's right. In it's arms was a sickly looking Litwick, the Candle Pokemon's flame being dim. Now Luchia was back on her feet as she went running towards the ghost types, much to the shock of her sister and girlfriend.
She immediately asked. ''Is that Litwick okay, Gengar?''
''She would be, if Pokemon could buy things like Poisons and Antidotes.'' said the Gengar, telepathically as he handed the small Litwick to the trainer. ''She was poisoned when my brother here Haunter was his Venoshock attack. She was hit by accident and has been ill ever since...''
Luchia gasped, shock by what the Gengar was saying. She put the Litwick down gently and rummaged in her back. ''Ah ha, found it!'' She pulled out an Antidote and gently gave it to the Litwick. ''She'll be fine in a couple of hours now that's she's had that.''
''Thank you, trainer. I was worried for her safety. Ever since she hatched, us ghosts have looked out for her as she's a rare Pokemon from Unova, kept trainers away as we feared they would hurt her. But now, I feel like I cannot keep her safe...'' He looked down, sadly. He then began thinking. ''Trainer, would you look after Litwick for us. You were quick to help her, even though we scared you.''
Luchia looked down at the Litwick, who was awake and looking at her with adorable cute eyes. Even if a Litwick couldn't learn Baby Doll Eyes, she was making a very good effect to try it. ''Okay, I'll look after her. She deserves to have a nice trainer...I've had experience with infant Pokemon, so it won't be any different.'' She gave a small smile, as she picked up Litwick.
Gengar gave a happy smile. ''Thank you, trainer. Look after her well, let her evolve. And should she wish to return, we'll be waiting.''
Luchia smiled, as she gently placed a poke ball on Litwick's head, catching her quite quickly. She then let the infant Candle Pokemon back out and pulled her Pokedex out of her pocket. She gently placed Litwick on the floor and scanned her details.
Litwick. The Candle Pokemon. Litwick shines a light that absorbs the life energy of people and Pokemon, which becomes the fuel that it burns. This Litwick is female and knows the moves Ember, Smog, Fire Spin, Confuse Ray, Night Shade, Will O Wisp and Flame Burst. She also has the egg moves Clear Smog and Heat Wave.
''Well...if there was another Pokemon that had a creepy dex entry, I can't think of it...'' She muttered, under her breathe so nobody heard. She then spoke up, picking her newest Pokemon back up. ''Well, I'm going back to the Pokemon Center to heal everybody. I'll be waiting for you there.''
Ash, who was still trying to get over how Luchia was able to ignore her fear for a baby Pokemon, looked up and shook her head. ''Okay, we're coming.'' Well, he would have followed if a Pokemon didn't tap his shoulder. He looked around and saw Haunter behind him, laughing almost chaotically. ''Haunter, do you want to come along with us?''
''Haunt. Haunt. Haunt.'' It crackled, in a luminous voice, not seeing the point in telepathy for the simply question that only had a very simple answer, being a very happy yes.
Ash giggled. Quickly catching the Pokemon, she watched as the ball got locked down. ''Okay, better send a Pokemon back to the Professor so I can check your pokedex data. Come on, we need to get to the Pokemon Center.''
The group left the tower and entered the Pokemon Center. They quickly healed their Pokemon, whilst Ash went over the a computer/phone like machine. She entered the Professor's phone address and called him. ''Hello, Professor Oak.''
''Oh, hello there, Ashlyn. I trust that your adventure is going well. How many Pokemon to you have now?'' said the Professor, in between eating from a bowl of what looked like ramen noddles.
''I have 7 now, Luchia has 6. But, because I've gone over the limit. I'm gonna send back Butterfree.'' The professor nodded, telling Ash what to do. Gently placing her poke ball in the slot and waiting for the touch screen to activate, she sighed. Once the screen appeared, she clicked send and instantly the locked down poke ball returned to normal, as she had gone back under the limit. ''Thanks, professor. I'll call again soon.''
''Okay, Ashlyn.'' With that, the screen flashed off and Ashlyn yawned.
''I think I'll wait until the morning before checking Haunter...yeah, lets do that...'' She went up to her desinated room that she was gonna share with Cynthia, and instantly crashed onto the bed, falling asleep within instants.
Hope you continue to enjoy, especially considering you've all gotten this far. :) Oh and I know most ghost types aren't cute, but I was on about Litwick, Pumpkaboo and Mimikyu. Even Misdreavus is kinda cute in it's design, not necessarily in the way it acts tho...
Also, weirdly I find Luchia's scared reactions in this chapter quite cute, let me know if that's just me...
