Steve kicked away from Allen once he lifted her up, being flung into the air. Did he just insult her? Her?! The Clefairy stopped the screaming and glared at the Gastly, intent on acting without her trainer's command! The Spite would indeed work but she'd make sure he would rue using that move in the first place. Her voice was lovely! "Cle- fai- ry!" Knees bent and arms raised, Steve came crashing down with a Meteor Mash! It wasn't exactly pretty, but the angry pink fairy didn't care so much about appearances at the moment!

"Far Fai, Clefairy!" Steve cried out when the Night Shade swallowed her up. That's because she was a girl- one that was beating up a poor excuse of a boy!

Allen turned back to Sub and shrugged. "You don't wanna know." He answered, turning back to the fight and wiping the slime off of him. "Steve, we could use that Gastly. Why don't you show him your Sing?" He'd ask, though he could tell from her defiant huff that she had other ideas.

Steve huffed and gave in. That was a good way to show her lovely voice, right? The Clefairy let out a hypnotic chant, attempting to lull the Gastly to sleep.

Steve stomped the ground angrily when the Gastly fell asleep and tried kicking him with a good Pound! She wanted the last word! Though, being a Normal type move, it moved right through and she fell. "Heh. You're good Steve, return." He said, returning her but switching for one of his two free Pokeballs and tossing it at the wild Gastly. Ever since putting his Glaceon in safer hands where he didn't have to fight, he had needed someone to fill his fourth slot! And a ghost type was good as any!

It was his hat, he was number- "Smitty. Your name is Smitty." Allen said as he picked up the Gastly's Pokeball. He'd heal him once this mission was over.

"Oh you know, getting attacked by stray Gastlys. Nothing unusual for a haunted place." Allen explained to Sub, wiping his hands on his pants. Nasty. "Not my idea of a good time but I caught it so thats cool."

The Drifblim was pelted by the Air Cutter, Shadow Ball, and the Hex causing it to momentarily lose its concentration and slow down its charge up of its Explosion move. Next would come the Drifloon as they obeyed Cera's command and swarm towards the glowing Driblim, firing off an onslaught of Shadow Ball themselves at the Drifblim. As the attacks bore down on the Drifblim it attempted to continue to charge up its Explosion, but alas it was too much, the once massive balloon ghost would succumb to its wounds and simply fall to the ground, no longer glowing and out cold. And thanks to the efforts of Odd's Cofagrigus, they wouldn't have to worry about an Aftermath explosion.

"That went a lot better than it could have." Sub said with a sigh as he pretended to wipe sweat from his forehead, recalling his Houndoom afterwards. "So uh...what do you plan to do with your new minions?" He asked Cera as the Drifloon began to float back over to their new boss, chiming happily.

Sub wouldn't wait too much longer for an answer when he noticed a flock of Murkrow flying away from the direction of the Lost Hotel, reminding him that despite the fight they just won they still have work to do. "Let's get to the Lost Hotel before we run into any more giant ghosts." And with that said he would make his way towards the Lost Hotel, cutting through a large patch of almost dead tall grass, the barely-alive plant life towering over his head.

("Um... minions?")

This was a development Cera hadn't expected. Though she wasn't able to maintain the form for long and quickly deflated as she reverted to normal, it didn't seem to shift the favor of the Drifloon surrounding her once more. Appearances aside, she still felt similar to how she did before and had "exposed" a seemingly false leader. "Oh. Um... disperse for now?" A bit of relief would follow as the Drifloon began scattering to the winds, save for one who decided to chime in alone.

It didn't take long for her to realize that these Drifloon were serious, let alone the one that decided to stay behind as an emissary. Deciding it was best not to mess things up now, she'd give a knowing nod as they both started for the Lost Hotel, taking in what they were hearing. Though, for Drifloon, this was nothing new, likely already familiar with Countess Pump in some way or another. They'd end up losing track of Sub and Allen however, finally catching up after.... something happened.

"It must really not be safe here, huh?" She asked, looking around.

Rein lost sub, allen, and cera after the excitement he was going through tall grass looking at the map on his SNAG ." lost hotel huh? Haven't been there in ages, I wonder how miss pump is doing." nevertheless rein made his way through the tall grass not sure if something was behind him or not.

Rein ran off in another direction feeling confident, he sent out golbat hopefully this made things easier." GolGol" . the pokemon shouted " Use your sonarwaves to help our way through we are searching for room sixty six , We need to close that gateway or defend it hopefully. A few litwick were sneaking up behind rein , rein turned around stepping on a litwick as it used heat wave on him and golbat. Golbat shuttered and retialiting with air cutter . Litwick was injured , " hmm wie could use litwicks light in here, Pokeball go", the device sucked up the ghostly candle pokemon as it strugged to put up a fight but was eventually cought. rein placed the pokeball onto his belt and moved into another room, this room was different. it seemed as though voices could be heard from the cieling the floor and the appliances. rein turned on his SNAG to contact sub "do you hear these voices? " rein cmmunicated through his SNAG to his teammates ' I'm going to investigate more , He found himself walking twoards a duo of gastly which both licked reins face with a long slurp...."G-G-Golbat Air cutter please.' rein shuttered the air cutter knocked both gastly out cold as rein attempted to move on, the voices were still heard however though this time more clearer. it sounded more like a "Help" in a low tone female ghostly voice. " god that's creepy" rein thought to himself.

"Beck my dude, lead the way." Allen said, having his Koffing lead him into the hotel once Sub ran into the halls of the haunted mansion. Well, no need to fesr ghosts when most of your Pokemon ate them for breakfast, right? He sent out Zest for good measure while he delved into one of the halls and it wasn't long before a Yamask and a Phantump got in their way.

"Beck, keep 'em at a distance with Smog and Zest you hit Phantump with Ember." Allen said, mainly ignoring the Yamask in favor of dealing with one at a time. A rogue Shadow Ball struck him into a wall while the grass ghost was held back by the attacks.

Allen got up and waved his bat around, letting out a Smog like attack of his own as the Yamask neared to attack again. "Beck, duck!" He shouted, swinging his bat through the gas and striking his opponent with it now covering the bat, sending it flying over his Koffing. Beck struck the Phantump with a Gyro Ball after being hit by an Astonish.

The Yamask floated back and glared at Allen to keep him glued in place with a Mean Look, though Zest came to the rescue with a Feint Attack from behind to defeat it. The three of them continued going deeper into the halls, checking for room sixty six when a suit of armor brandishing a Honedge left it's pedastal and rushed them.

"Uh, sooo. Ember!" Allen picked up Zest and had her fire a volley of Embers at the possessed suit's leg, tripping it to give him enough time to step to the side and fire a second time at the Phantump that had been following them, knocking it out. Honedge was also a steel type, right? No way his channeling would work with it then, it wasn't like there was something that could poison that type of Pokemon.

"Magby!" Zest protested, jumping on her trainer's head to opt out of being used as a literal flamethrower. Beck took up his rear and the three fled deeper into the Lost Hotel.

"litwick, shine some light on this room with your flame." "wickwick it hopped onto reins palm happily. it maybe a ghost type but it sure did bright up the spooky room "what do you need help with? what can we do?" replied rein to the scared woman, as he stepped forward with litwick.  

[Tsuki the Fated Wind]

"Wow really? Walking up to some freaky Grudge looking lady in a haunted hotel? You gonna die son." The teenager said, keeping away from the walls. Clowns hid in walls, leaping at fools who didn't have tangelos on hand. Allen pat Beck and knelt down- though he kept his distance. He would not be the silly jock to go first. Nope! He'd be the clever and cautious protagonist who deftly escaped the villains.

"Yeah, hello lady?"

Nothing could go wrong.
