Spells and Louds
Chapter 21: Ghosts in Royal Woods
The Spellman's and Louds, along with their friends return home to Royal Woods, with their new Pokémon companions, Pokémon food wasn't gonna be a problem, the houses that have Pokémon will be given a delivery of a large sack of Pokémon food once per month, and martin was able to study on Pokémon health condition, making him their go to Pokémon doctor (and he doesn't wanna be called nurse joy)
Dana and Becky's parents were okay with the eevee's they brought home, and Buneary was a good friend to Jordan's dog Ajax, for the louds, the pets were having a hard time to cope with the new arrivals, except for the bats and hops, they were happy with Zubat and Croagunk's company, the bats also want Zubat to be their swarm leader, thank goodness he doesn't drink blood
Croagunk was more of a body guard in the house, making sure everything wasn't going wrong, from Lisa's experiments, Luan and Mime Jr's small pranks and Lana eating in the garbage, Mime Jr. kept going around the house mimicking people, it may be annoying but on most occasions it was funny, especially to Lynn Sr., the parents had to lay down some new rules to Lisa though
The Spellman's were more happy to have new family members around the house, Budew would be helpful with the gardening, Eevee was always playful with Lily, Whismur was always shy so he was the only one different from everyone else, but Luna didn't mid, she would sometimes perform a small jam session, even though it's loud Whismur didn't seem to mind
The only problem was that their Pokémon didn't wanna leave their side, Neil was able to convince the principals of Royal Woods Elementary and High School, and they were okay with it, as long as they don't distract the students, and it turns out having the Pokémon on school ground was a good idea, the Eevee's were playful, but also protective, and Budew would help out the groundskeeper
Nothing else could be said about Mime Jr, except for being a good entertainer when some students and faculty members were feeling down, Zubat would only hide inside Lucy's locker when classes started, the morticians club found the eyeless bat strange, but interesting, Croagunk was the perfect hall monitor, with his ability detect, he could sense anyone in the hallway and rush there immediately
When classes were over Jordan's friends were at awe with her Pokémon Buneary, but they were warned that she can be tough, they still had the list of Pokémon abilities that Samson Oak gave them, in case there were abilities they want to learn, and then there's Gible, the little guy just can't help but jump out of nowhere and bite onto Neil, which was becoming a daily routine now, so he didn't mind
When it was weekends or they didn't have any plans after school, they would all meet at the park or at the Spellman Estate and engage at a Pokémon battle, to help toughen up their Pokémon, and people were always fascinated at how incredible the creatures were, even the smaller ones, like the Eevee's, Budew and Buneary
Speaking of training "Alright Budew, use vine whip!" "Let's see how she can deal with mud shot!" it was a battle between Jordan's Buneary and Lana's Croagunk, the two have been battling for five minutes and the fight just got intense, Budew dodges the mud shots and uses vine whip on Croagunk, knocking the frog back
"Let's finish this Budew, Use Solar Beam!" says Leni, everyone was shocked "Is Budew even ready for this move?!" says Lincoln, Budew gathers energy from everywhere and a yellow orb forms on top of Budew's head, and with all her might, she unleashes a Solar Beam, Croagunk doesn't look scared and just takes the hit, but deep down he's saying "Ribbit!"
As the smoke clears they see Croagunk down for the count "Croagunk is unable to battle the victory goes to Leni and Budew!" says Dana, Leni cheers and Budew hops with joy, until Budew starts to glow, everybody looks in shock, even Lana and Croagunk "Budew!" says Leni, the light fades and coming out was "Roselia" says the new Pokémon
They are all stunned at what just happened, Leni hugs Roselia "You evolved!" says Leni, Roselia returns the hug as well, everyone cheers "You did good Croagunk" says Lana "Croak" says Croagunk, they get up and approach the winners "Congrats you two" says Lana "Croak" from Croagunk "Thanks Lana, and who knows, maybe one day your Pokémon will evolve too" says Leni
They all return home and tell their parents the good news, in which they celebrate, later at night, everyone in Royal Woods sleeps peacefully, but the great gate starts to glow and coming through it five spectral beings dart out and go around the place, then these being s see the town of Royal Woods, but one of them stays behind and looks at the Spellman house, soon the gate's portal fades
As morning comes, Neil awakes with Gible on his head, also drowsy, they walk down the stairs, pass the dining room, pass a strange floating man going through the fridge and onto the coffee machine, Neil yawns and so does his Pokémon, then after making coffee they both realize, floating man raiding fried, they turn around and see the stranger going through the fridge
"Gible?" says his Pokémon, Neil needed to know what was going on "Excuse me sir, can I help you?" says Neil, the figure looks at him "Beware! I am the box ghost!" says the person as he floats into the air, Neil just takes a sip from his coffee "Okay, neat stuff, and why are you in my house?' asks Neil "I haunt boxes! Where are your boxes by the way?" asks the ghost "Basement" says Neil
"Thanks" says the ghost, but then he comes back "Beware!" then he goes to the basement "Harv, what was that?" asks Neil "I don't know sir, I detected some strange anomaly last night, I thought it was nothing, until you spotted the being this morning" says Harv "Strange that I didn't detect that paranormal entity earlier" Harv adds
Soon the rest of the family arrives, they see that Neil has finished making breakfast and Gible was looking at the basement door "Morning dad/daddy/pops/hon" they all say, but Neil doesn't respond, he just sips his coffee looking at nothing, they look at him confused "Dad?" asks sunset "Neil?" from Gwen, then Absol looks at Gible and like Gible he looks at the basement door
"There's someone in there" says Abe, they all look at him and Gible "What?" asks Luna, Neil takes one more sip "there's a ghost in the basement" says Neil, they all look at him with confusion "He's telling the truth, there really is a paranormal being in the basement" says Harv, they all look at the basement door, which then opens, they all get ready for combat
Then they see two floating boxes and the ghost "Dude! You only got two boxes in here!" says the box ghost, then he sees the family "Beware! I am the box ghost!" he says, the family just look at him confused, then they look at Neil "This is ….. The box ghost, I don't know what he wants" says Neil, they decide to just leave him be and eat their breakfast, even the Pokémon's ignore him
"Wait you're not scared of me?!" says box ghost "A ghost that haunts boxes and looks like a docks worker, not so scary at all" says Lincoln "And the way you say 'Beware!' isn't even threatening brah!" says Luna "I've seen worse ghost in the Philippines and in the Warren's cult museum" says Neil, the box ghost realizes that these people weren't gonna be easy to scare
"I knew I should've joined the others!" Box ghost complains, and that was the trigger "What others?" asks Sunset "Duh! Ember, Skullker, Technor and Lunch lady!" says box ghost "but instead I stay here! I thought this was gonna be an easy takeover!" says box ghost, then he sees the angered looks of the family "You guys okay?" asks Box ghost
Then Leni's phone rings and she sees a text from Dana "trouble in town, heroes needed" says Leni "That must be them" says Box Ghost, luckily they all finished eating "Let's hero up people!" says Neil, they transform into their Hero mode and their Pokémon join in as well, Neil looks at box ghost "Can you just stay here?" asks Neil "Well I can't go back to my home, sure" says box ghost who sits on the chair
Meanwhile at Royal Woods, Skullker unleashes a hail of missiles onto the town, Technor has taken control of a TV store, Lunch lady has made every meat in the butcher's shop come to life and Ember McLain has taken over a music store "This world seems easy to take over, not much of a fight" complains Skullker "Indeed, and the technology here is pretty advanced!" says Technor
Then they see a girl made of green fire come out of nowhere and another girl wearing light blue comes out of the fountains water, which then freezes "Are those heroes?" asks Lunch lady "It appears so" replies Skullker, then the ground shakes and Volcana surfaces "Alright ghost's! Let's make one thing clear! This is our town and you guys are trespassing!" says Lori
"Finally a real challenge!" says Skullker, he fires multiple rockets, but Dana makes an ice barrier and Fire dodges the missiles, Volcana summons a magma wall for protection, suddenly vines sprout from the ground and get the people to safety, they all see that the Spellman's have arrived "Holy Chrysler! Is that living meat?" asks Neil "Lunch Time kids!" says lunch Lady
She charges towards them, all the heroes get out of the way, but Neil, Becky and Volcana stand their ground, as the meat monster gets closer they unleash a fiery attack, cooking the meat abomination "Looks like I'm paying for lunch" says Neil, Becky and Lori chuckle "Good one" says Lori, Technor then takes control of computers and forms a robotic monster
Arct Aurora fires missiles at the ghost possessed machine and Buneary unleashes an ice beam, causing the robot to break "And that's gonna be a payment" says Jordan, Skullker sends more missiles and an electric net at them, but Leni summons plant monsters to take the damage and protect Lincoln "Now Roselia!" says Leni
Roselia musters all her power and sends out a Solar Beam towards Skullker, he looks at the giant beam in front of him "This is going to hurt" Skullker says in annoyance, an explosion is made with the collision and Skullker is knocked out of the sky and onto the ground "Okay, now I'm angry!" says Skullker, but before he could get up, vines start to entangle him and Susnet also helps with red energy coils
Technor sees Jordan's mech "Interesting" says Technor, he flies towards the Arct mech, but is frozen in place by Lincoln "Don't you dare lay a single finger on my lady!" says Lincoln "Now!" Absol leaps into the sky and shoots a shadow orb onto the frozen ghost, Technor is knocked into the side of a building, he then takes control of multiple electronic kitchen equipment "Bring it on!" says Lincoln
Meanwhile Luna walks into the music store slowly and angrily "Hey! This is my turf kid! You'd best stay out!" says Ember, Luna picks up a broken Vinyl record "You just wrecked my favorite music store" says Luna, her eyes start to glow ice blue "This is personal!" says Luna, she shoots out an ice blast, Ember dodges her attacks and strums her guitar sending a sound wave towards Luna
Luna makes an ice barrier to protect herself and it worked, then Luna manifests her own ice guitar and she shatters the barrier "Just cause you got an axe doesn't mean you can beat me kid!" says Ember, Luna snickers "You have no idea, how loud I can be!" says Luna, she makes just one strum and an ice shockwave blasts everywhere, ember holds her ground from the blast
"Impressive! But not that impressive!" says Ember as she starts tuning in her guitar solo "Oh it's on!" says Luna as she starts her own solo, only she was going Heavy Metal, Whismur slowly enters the wrecked store an sees Luna battling a ghost rocker, Whismur was scared at first, but he had to do something
Suddenly Ember hits a powerful rip cord, making Luna's ice guitar shatter, Luna is then knocked into a wall, Luna tries to get up, but ember is slowly walking towards her with a sinister smile, Whismur had to do something "Any last words ice princess!" says Ember, but then Whismur launches himself in front of Luna and unleashes Hypersonic on ember knocking her back and into a wall
As ember gets up, Whismur starts to glow, Luna also looks in shock "Whismur?' says Luna and soon the light fades and reveals "Loudred!" Luna smiles at the sight "I don't care what you are! But you're going down!" says Ember, just before she could strike another rip cord "Loudred Supersonic!" and with that Ember is sent flying back into the wall, knocking her unconscious
Outside Lunch Lady, Skullker and Technor continue their battle with the heroes, Lucy and haiku sees the battle getting out of hand, but then she remembers something, she pulls from her pocket "The Diamond of Summoning!" says Lucy "Since ghosts are difficult to be fought by the living, what about the dead" says Lucy "What?" asks Haiku
Lucy whispers to the Diamond "I summon you ArchLich, Kel'Thuzad, please come to our aid!" says Lucy, Luna comes out of the store dragging an unconscious Ember and Loudred carrying her guitar, they see what is happening so Luna freezes ember to a lamp post "You ready buddy?" asks Luna "Loudred!" says her Pokémon, and they join the battle
They continue fighting, but then Neil sees the ground starting to grow ice, he realized what that meant "Everybody get down!" yells Neil, all the heroes find cover, and just in time, a flash of green emits from the park ground, the green mist disappears, revealing "Kel'Thuzad" says Lincoln, the ArchLich looks around and sees the ghosts "You made the right choice summoning me!" says the lich
Skullker sends out waves of missiles, Technor lets out an electric blast from his floating electronics and Lunch Lady Hurls meat at him, they keep up the barrage, but the heroes just smile, they know that doing that is a mistake "Stop!" says Skullker, they halt their assault, but as the mist clears, they see "What?!" says the ghosts in shock, Kel'Thuzad was still standing
Kel'Thuzad dusts off his right shoulder armor "Pathetic Interlopers, you shall know my full wrath!" says the ArchLich, Ice chains break out of the ground and ensnare Technor, electrifying him with more than 100,000 bolts of green lightning, Technor screams in bloody agony, afterwards he drops to the ground, quietly screaming
Lunch lady is terrified at this, but then a ravenous army of ghouls and abominations surface from the ground and start devouring the lunch lady's meat armor, leaving her exposed, Kel'Thuzad throws an orb of death, Lunch lady hits the ground and her energy is drained by an area of decay "Classic me" says Kel'Thuzad "Yeah! ArchLich!" yells Neil
Skullker flies towards Kel'Thuzad, but before he attacks him, he's halted in mid-flight by a giant skeletal hand from the ground, the hand throws him into the air, Kel'Thuzad manifests a meteor of ice and chain, he looks at the ghost trying to regain flight "I will freeze the blood in your veins!" he throws the meteor towards Skullker who screams from the sight, and a massive ice explosion is seen above royal woods
A frozen Skullker slams into the pavement, though his armor has been shattered and a little green creature emerges from the wreckage, Kel'Thuzad grabs him "Strange, a small thing like you can inflict this much damage to a town" says Kel'Thuzad, he then places the little ghost inside a spectral jar "That should contain him" says the ArchLich
The heroes approach the ArchLich "Nice job K.T" says Neil "You were awesome back there man!" says Luna "and cold" says Dana, Kel'Thuzad bows to them "Lucy made the right choice summoning me" says K.T, then Lucy and Haiku come out of hiding "Thanks Luce" says Lincoln "I knew you guys needed help" replies Lucy, Haiku just looks in awe towards the Lich Lord
Then Ember wakes up and sees she's stuck to lamp post "What the?" she tries to break free, then Kel'Thuzad approaches her, he grans her by the neck and raises her up, with the other heroes watching, she looks around at the other defeated ghosts and sees the menacing glare of the LichLord "Please! Let me go!" Ember begs, Kel'Thuzad growls "Tell me young lady, where did you come from?" asks the ArchLich
