019. [Text/Action for Mahogany Town, and one other thing.]

[TEXT]

Does anyone know if the hideous creatures permeating this region of late are deceased humans, deceased Pokémon, or some ungodly combination of both?

It's nothing I had ever given thought to before, nor will your answer affect my thoughts on them. I'm merely curious about what it is that I'm repeatedly destroying, and whether I have something unfortunate to look forward to if this place decides that I'm the lucky person who dies on a permanent level out here.



[ACTION]

[Well, a very brief time after that text hits the network, it seems Kimblee has escaped whatever Ghost-free location he was in before.

Kimblee hasn't taken kindly to the ghosts here; he never has, really, and the fact that they're now in the cities isn't doing anything to help with that little issue. However, he's also never taken kindly to the idea that he simply can't do something, or the knowledge that some things are simply beyond his physical and mental boundaries, and it seems that today he's finally reached something of a breaking point.

He has Dorian out with him today, as well as Ramsay; he's loaded the latter with TMs, taking full advantage of the fact that Absols can learn Damn Near Everything. Kimblee himself seems to have decided that he has absolutely no fucks left to give; people in the general vicinity of Mahogany Town this evening may notice a figure dressed in white wandering through the fog, looking vaguely like one of the undead himself. His motions are tightly controlled, the orders he's giving his Pokémon clipped and tense; he's also trying to act like every time he comes across one of the Ghost-types everywhere he doesn't promptly flail a little and overkill the hell out of the poor level 20s with Fire Blast from a level 100 Fire-type.

He seems...determined (it's just a very skittish sort of determined, okay) to find and destroy every damn ghost in this town, judging from the flames everywhere; the local ghost population likely has no idea what it did to have quite this much hell rained down on it, but there certainly is a lot of hell going on here, goddamn.

...he really doesn't like ghosts, okay. At least they can't be harmed with Explosion, else this would be much, much worse.]




[PRIVATE TEXT TO EMMY ALTAVA]

Miss Altava,

I apologize for the abruptness of the message, but I need to speak to you immediately; get in contact with me, if you can?

[It would be an understatement to say Archer was worried when he found Kimblee missing.

It would be an understatement to say he was irritated when he noticed the fainted ghosts everywhere.

Alekhine has pinpointed Kimblee's location and Archer is currently making his way there, trying to avoid any confrontations with ghosts - not because he dislikes them, but rather because he almost feels bad for the Yamasks. They're rather pitiful things after all, and they certainly didn't deserve to be Fire Blasted to... well, undeath. He has Arbiter with him today - the Drapion is very happily obeying commands to clear the way of ghosts with Night Slash.]


What the hell are you doing out here?

[Archer doesn't sound all that angry though, just a bit frustrated and maybe a bit worried.]

If you needed something you should have told me.

I don't know, and I don't plan to find out. But if you're destroying them, I'd advise you be careful. Ghosts of any kind have been known to hold a grudge.

[It's been years, but he still has ghost issues, so Cobra's planning on hiding in his office until this all hopefully blows over.]

They're regular Pokemon. This isn't the first time they've caused so much trouble around Halloween.
enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

It's difficult to say, really. Under normal circumstances, the fact that they seem to hatch from eggs would lead me to believe that they're simply organisms that have characteristics that are popularly associated with ghosts and other spirits, such as the ability to become incorporeal and float--however, I do have to wonder if that's the only possible origin for this kind of Pokemon.

They were bad last year and the year before that. I really don't understand it, because I have a ghost Pokemon, and he's the sweetest thing.

Mine is a Gengar named Pluto! I caught him as a Gastly at Bellsprout Tower my first year here.

He was named after my faithful dog.
determinator: (♕ Another protester has crossed the line)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-10-27 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Then why are you out here?

[Archer folds his arms, looking more frustrated than he really is. It's just that thing he does where he gets extremely defensive for no real reason. No big deal.]
her_mouse_jesty: (Default)

[personal profile] her_mouse_jesty 2012-10-27 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
That's right. He's very loyal and kind, just like dog Pluto. He even tried to help defend me from the other ghosts when the first scary Halloween happened.
determinator: (♕ Hear the drum pounding out of time)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-10-27 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
No it isn't. You don't have to deal with this by running out into a town full of these things.

[Besides, if you couldn't even stand the Gengar, how can you stand all of these?]

The ghosts took the forms of our worst fears.

No, thank goodness. It's only happened once, but it was so awful, I may never forget it.

[personal profile] determinator 2012-10-27 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh no you don't. Archer doesn't look pleased with that reply at all.]

Don't be ridiculous. Let's go back inside.

[It's not an order, but it's phrased as a suggestion to try to preserve some of Kimblee's pride.]

[can you even imagine what would happen if he did though]

Correlation does not necessarily equal causation, but that does seem likely to be the case. With that said, if there's more than one potential origin for ghost Pokemon as a group, it seems as though each individual variety may have its own origin. Isn't there a particular ghost Pokemon that evolves from an ice type?

[...the potential implications of this are going to hit him as soon as he hits "send..."]
