Jin-Gitaxias grinned to himself as he watched the pustules bubble and pop on the Team Rocket scientist's shriveled husk of a body. Humans were so interesting! So fascinating! The man considered himself above Jin-Gitaxias, but now all he had to show for it was a sickening death.Why did he think he had a chance? Jin-Gitaxias frowned. Hm. Probably should have asked him before I killed him, in retrospect. Oh well.
Jin-Gitaxias gave the dead man a glance as he sifted into the air vent. "Well, thanks for everything, my former trainer."

The Next Day Floating amidst the branches of the forest, Jin-Gitaxias watched the man who had been sent after him curiously. With his mask and trench coat, most of the gastly's poisons would have a lessened effect. The man had two knives drawn, and the gastly scoffed to himself. What a fool, to think such a thing would work on him. Nevertheless, the assassin was interesting, at least. And Jin-Gitaxias did love interesting things. "Ice Beam."Jin-Gitaxias barely had time to register the man's words as a blast of ice rocketed towards him from a tree. Barely able to dodge, he glared at the rocket. So he's not alone, then. Looking back to the area the ice had come from, he saw nothing. "Again."Another blast of ice plowed through the gastly from higher up. Reforming, the gastly sent poisonous gas at the rattata before he was shredded again by a liepard who appeared behind him. Whirling around, Jin-Gitaxias sent poison at her, but the liepard merely grinned mischeviously before vanishing once more. Another ice beam slammed into the gastly's back while he was distracted. The gastly realized he had no chance against the two opponents and began to expand rapidly. "Fall back!"The gastly grinned. Perfect. Quickly shrinking back to normal, the gastly flew away as the rocket and his two pokemon retreated.

Two Days Later
Motterosa City Jin-Gitaxias floated above the bustling streets of the market and sighed. All these people, and nothing interesting to be found. What wasted potential! Maybe I could incite a panic... The gastly shook his head sadly. No, that'll just prompt the authorities to chase me along with Team Rocket, and that's more annoying than interesting. I should probably stay away from killing until I'm really bored. He sighed again. Maybe I shouldn't have killed him just yet.A booming voice amplified by a nearby loudspeaker broke into his thoughts. "AND THE WINNER IS YOUNG LENORE AND HER DUSKULL, MEPHISTOPHELES! THEY MOVE ONTO THE SEMI-FINALS IN THIS SIXTEEN POKEMON TOURNAMENT." His curiosity piqued, the gastly flew over to the stadium.

Lenore looked up from her book as Mephistopheles floated back up to her. "You're done?" The duskull nodded in affirmation, and the girl closed the book before standing up, dusting herself off. "Okay, then."
---------------------------------------
The loudspeaker boomed as the announcer hyped up the final round. Lenore cast an annoyed glance at the speaker as she entered the stadium. It was so noisy! The girl hadn't thought they'd make it to the final round - she hadn't thought about the tournament at all. She was told that participating would get you food from the local bakery, and she was hungry. She had no idea what the winner would get. More food, maybe?
At her side, Mephistopheles seemed unbothered by the noise. Of course, he never seemed bothered by much of anything. Lenore watched the duskull float down to the concrete field below and bow to his opponent - an eevee this time - before opening her book and resuming reading.

"Just a little poison gas..."
The gastly shook his head. No. Fight the urge to kill things. For now. He resumed his watch on the tournament. It was a fairly minor event - no huge crowds, no famous trainers. Average all around. But one person stood out to him - a young girl, likely not even a teenager. Unlike every person in attendance and every other trainer, this girl wasn't paying the slightest bit of attention to the battles that were happening. Even when her duskull battled, even in the final round, the girl's attention was on an old book. What was so interesting about that book? Jin-Gitaxias had to know.

Lenore stared blankly at the pokemon doll she had been handed before looking up at the tournament organizer. "...I don't get food?" The man tilted his head - he'd never seen someone winning a tournament interested in receiving a consolation prize. "I... suppose you could?" The girl's stomach growled in response and the man laughed. "Well, sure. Here you go." He handed her a small loaf of bread, and the girl bit into it hungrily as she turned and left, the pokemon doll abandoned on the ground.

Mephistopheles floated idly behind Lenore as she finished the bread. "What do you wanna do now, Mef? I'm not hungry anymore."
Silent, Mephistopheles stared at the alley beside them. "I know you're there. Come out." Lenore began to question what he meant as a gastly floated out of the alley. Oh.
The girl tilted her head at the gastly. "If you wanted some of the bread, I already ate it." Mephistopheles shook his head at the girl's statement. "I do not think he wished for your meal, Lenore." "Oh." She turned back to the gastly. "What did you want, then?"
A hand formed out of the gas surrounding Jin-Gitaxias, and the gastly pointed at the book next to the girl. "That book. What's so interesting about it?" The girl tilted her head. "I don't know. I like to read." The gastly paused. Such a simple answer, and yet so interesting. He laughed.
"You're an interesting kid." Lenore shrugged. "I don't know if I am." The gastly grinned. "You are. You're the most interesting thing I've found all day. Take me with you, and I won't kill you."
Mephistopheles sprung into action at the threat, but Lenore simply shrugged. "Okay, then." The duskull whirled around, unbelieving. "Lenore, he just threatened to kill you!" The girl tilted her head. "Yeah, but he said he won't if he comes with. What's the problem?" Mephistopheles shook his head exasperatedly before fixing his attention on the gastly. "If you hurt Lenore, I'm honorbound to kill you. I'm warning you now." The gastly merely grinned.
Humans are so interesting!
