After the meeting with Professor Cerise, we decided to check out the rooms, going into the hallway that connected the lab and the house. We stopped at two doors and opened them, wanting to get to know our new rooms.

It was plain, but it was sort of homey. It had a bed near the window, a desk with a lamp, a nightstand, and a cabinet for my clothes. It was all fine to me, a room is a room.

Sighing happily, I dropped on the bed, with Eevee lying next to me.

"Much more comfortable than Pokemon Center bunk beds," I muttered.

"Vori!" Eevee agreed. I smiled and patted her on the head, then I stood up again and set my things down, making sure that the egg was carefully tucked in my backpack so that it remained nice and warm. When I was satisfied about its safety, I had Eevee hop on my shoulder again.

"We're going to earn our next Gym Badge, so be prepared," I told Eevee.

"Vee!" she grinned, excited for another battle.

"Yeah, yeah," I smiled slightly, "save that energy for the battle, though."

"Eevee," she smiled sheepishly.

I walked out the room as soon as Trinity walked out hers.

"Ready?" she said.

"Yeah, let's go," I replied.

We were about to head out, when we heard something saying, "Vee?"

I looked at Eevee, who was just as confused as I was. We looked at down and saw... another Eevee.

It was female, like my Eevee—I could tell due to the flower-like pattern on her tail. She wore a pink flower on her head, like my Kirlia. She looked at my Eevee curiously, who jumped off in excitement.

"Vee!" they said at once and began to have a conversation, eager to speak with another of their species.

"Whose Eevee is this?" I said, one eyebrow raised in curiosity.

"Dunno," Trinity said with a gleam in her eyes as she watched both Eevee play with each other, both squealing with excitement.

I couldn't help but smile, it was pretty cute. "Professor Cerise has a daughter, right? It's probably hers."

"Could be," Trinity shrugged and put her attention back to both Eevee.

"Dad! Have you seen Eevee?" I heard a feminine voice call out from across the hall. She turned a corner and spotted us, looking curious.

She looked about our age and had long maroon hair fashioned with a pink flower like her Eevee, green eyes, and had a delicate and beautiful face.

"Who are you two?" she asked. "Are you guys my dad's new research assistants?"

"We are," Trinity said with a smile. "I'm Trinity, a Pokemon Trainer."

Chloe's curious but cautious face slowly spread with an easy smile. "Oh, that explains it. I'm Chloe, nice to meet you two." Chloe gave me a once over and frowned. "You look familiar."

"The name's Vali," I said nonchalantly, motioning to Eevee. "And this is my partner Eevee."

Chloe looked at me and Eevee incredulously, then she settled her gaze back at me and glared. "It's you! You're that asshole that's all over social media who has harassed and blackmailed multiple girls! You're that delinquent who has hospitalized hundreds of people! What the hell are you doing here?! Why did my dad allow you to become a research assistant?!"

I rolled my eyes. "Ah shit, here we go again."

Chloe gave Trinity a wide-eyed look, as if realizing something. "You're one of those girls, right? He's blackmailing you!"

Trinity looked at Chloe awkwardly. "No, he never did anything like that. Listen, the guy blaming him for that is my brother. He hates Vali and wants to ruin his life."

Chloe gasped and glared at me. "So you blackmailed that guy's sister?" she shook her head furiously. "How can an Eevee be her partner?" she turned to Eevee and said soothingly, "You have to get away from him. He's only using you."

My Eevee gave Chloe's Eevee a sad look and then growled at Chloe. I smirked.

"There's your answer."

"Chloe, stop," Trinity said, being the voice of reason. "He isn't who you think he is."

"Then why is it everywhere?" Chloe asked. "The entire world agrees! He's nothing but trouble, I don't know why you're traveling with him."

"Yamp! Yamp!" a Pokemon ran at us and began to bark at me.

I recognized it as a Yamper. It was yellow, brown, and dog-like. It barked at me with hate-filled eyes. Then it leapt at me and tried to bit me.

"Vee!" Eevee came to my rescue and smacked it with her tail so hard that it literally was thrown out the window, breaking it.

Trinity and Chloe gasped. Eevee looked around innocently.

I was trying not to laugh, smiling sheepishly. "God, I fucking love you Eevee," I snickered.

Chloe was about to yell at me, when a voice shouted from the lab. "What's going on in there?!" Professor Cerise yelled, walking into the hallway, quickly noticing the broken window and Chloe glaring at me with pure hatred.

"What's going on?" he asked firmly.

"She's starting shit before I can even speak," I said in a monotone.

Chloe pointed at me in an accusatory manner. "It's him, dad! It's that guy on the news and on social media who has been causing trouble. He's been harassing girls and beating up innocent people! He's also brainwashing Pokemon!"

"What? Am I really getting cancelled on Twitter?" I said, snickering. "I don't even have Twitter. I've already done like five Twitter ban speedruns."

Professor Cerise shook her head. "Chloe, I know what you mean, but I'm deciding to give him the benefit of a doubt. Professor Oak spoke highly of him, so I'm going to trust him on that. Besides, Vali doesn't seem bad, I think he's just misunderstood."

"But—" Chloe was promptly interrupted.

"Just drop it," Professor Cerise said sternly, "he's going to be living here for the time being, so you'll have to get used to it. You either get along with him or you have to deal with him."

Wow, a Professor Cerise that isn't an absolute cuck? That's new. Wait, what am I talking about?

Chloe glared at her dad, then to me, but she didn't glare at Trinity. She shook her head and stormed off. "Let's go, Eevee."

Both Eevee looked at each other and said a "Vee..." in a sad farewell. Chloe's Eevee followed after her.

"What happened to Yamper?" Professor Cerise looked around.

Trinity and I exchanged looks.

He noticed the hole in the window and sighed. "I'll just assume that was in self-defense." Professor Cerise looked at us apologetically. "I'm sorry for that, she tends to be a bit... guided whenever she feels indignant. Like most teenagers, she believes most "news" she sees on social media."

"She uses Twitter, so I'm not surprised," I retorted. Seriously, that place fucking sucks. You get shit like "Fellas, is it gay to not have lung cancer?" and "The age of consent should be lowered." Going on Twitter is the equivalent of hating your life.

"She'll come around," Professor Cerise said, though he didn't sound too sure.

"Maybe I can try talking to her," Trinity suggested.

Professor Cerise nodded. "That might be a good idea. She's quick to make friends to people she thinks are alright."

"Well, now that the fiasco is over, we should probably get to the Gym," I said to Trinity.

Professor Cerise chuckled slightly. "Already off to get your third Gym Badge? You two don't waste time, huh?"

"Why not get some experience in before tomorrow?" I shrugged. "Besides, we're already here."

"Fair point," he said.

"Well, let's go," Trinity said and waved at Professor Cerise.

***

We were standing in front of the Pokemon Center after a fifteen-minute walk. We explored an area we haven't seen prior. I was very interested when I saw that Vermilion had an arcade. I hoped it had Chunithm, Sound Voltex, or other rhythm games like that.

The inside was plain, with a battlefield in the middle, metallic plates on the side, and red benches around it. Waiting in the middle of it was a tall, muscular, and sandy-haired man that grinned at the sight of us. And when I say tall, I mean tall, like I'm talking eight-feet tall.

He wore a green camouflage military outfit and black combat boots. Looking around, I realized hat every staff and personnel who worked at the Gym wore the same military outfit.

"Challengers, eh?' Lieutenant Surge studied us. "You two must be those promising Trainers people keep talking about. Lorelei's daughter and Cynthia's infamous son, an interesting pairing."

He looked at Eevee and Pikachu and whistled. "Pre-evolved, but they look strong. I'll never underestimate a pre-evolved Pokemon ever again, not after Ash's Pikachu beat me." He walked up to us, towering over us completely.

"We've heard that you came back from your training journey, so we wanted to challenge you," I said.

"It's our third Gym Battle," Trinity said.

"I'm Vali."

"I'm Trinity."

"Trust me, I know who you guys are," he said. "And I've been itching to fight you two."

"Then I'll go first," I stated, but Surge shook his head.

"No, I got a better idea," his grin widened. "The two of you versus me. I use one Pokemon, while you guys use two. And those two have to be Eevee and Pikachu."

"Two Pokemon against one?" I said. "You're really itching to get your ass beat, aren't you?"

Surge laughed. "You have balls! I like that."

"We accept the challenge," Trinity said determinedly.

"Then let's start!" he exclaimed, remaining on his side of the battlefield. We walked to the opposite side and stood. Pikachu and Eevee jumped off our shoulders and stared him down.

"Come out, Raichu!" he threw out a Poke Ball, and a Pokemon that looked like a bigger Pikachu came out.

"Raichu!" it said, looking at Pikachu with a grin.

"Raichu, the Mouse Pokémon. An Electric-type, and the evolved form of Pikachu. As Raichu's body fills with electricity, its demeanor becomes more aggressive."

"Raichu loves it when he gets to fight a Pikachu," Surge explained. "And I'm excited myself. But I never fought an Eevee before, just its eeveelutions. Let's see how strong it is."

"Oh, I can assure you, she can kick ass," I promised with a humorous smile.

"Good!" Surge said excitedly. "Show me what you can do!"

A referee wearing the same military outfit as Surge stood at the side and said: "We will now begin the battle between Vali and Trinity of Viridian against the Gym Leader, Lieutenant Surge. The battle will end when one side has no more Pokemon left to battle."

"Begin!"

"Raichu, Thunderbolt!" Surge ordered immediately.

"Raichu!" Raichu sent out very powerful arcs of electricity that voraciously made their way toward Pikachu and Eevee.

"Pikachu, Iron Tail! Use it as a conductor!" Trinity ordered.

"Taking a page out of my book, huh? Nice." I praised. "Eevee, Mimic and Iron tail."

Both Pokemon' tails glowed like metal, before absorbing the lightning with them.

"Slam it!" Trinity and I shouted in unison.

They slammed their tails into the ground, releasing the electricity into the ground, making it look like a makeshift Discharge. The arcs of electricity crackled through the ground until it hit Raichu point-blank, making him stagger.

He began to grunt in pain, but then the lightning began to be sucked into his cheek pouches, as if he was absorbing it.

"Release it back, Raichu."

With a show of effort, Raichu released a maelstorm of lightning that streaked through the air so fast that Eevee and Pikachu were hit nearly instantaneously.

They cried out in pain and were blasted away.

"That would be real clever if you weren't fighting a Raichu," Surge said with a grin. "While Raichu isn't immune to Electric attacks, he can absorb electricity directed at him. He can store a hundred thousand volts of electricity at time, but he gets more aggressive and stressed out when he does. Ever since I went on my training journey, I've learned how to most effectively use Raichu's biology to his advantage."

"Now, Raichu, Nasty Plot!"

Raichu grinned deviously and then his body began to glow with a dark aura, powering him up. Damn it, this wasn't good. Nasty Plot made the user more powerful.

"Thunderbolt again!" Surge ordered.

Raichu once again let out a stream of lightning that arced towards us like whips. But this time it was much more potent, crackling even louder than before.

But that didn't mean that we were done for.

"Eevee, Quick Attack, dodge them and get closer!"

The air boomed as Eevee ran at Raichu, a white trail blurring around her. She dodged and weaved around the arcs of electricity until she got in front of Raichu. I knew that if she made physical contact with Raichu, she would be paralyzed. His Static Ability would be very annoying to deal with.

Good thing Trinity came to my aid.

"Pikachu, Thunder Shock!"

I locked eyes with her for a moment, and an understanding passed through us. We've been fighting by each other's side for so long we know each other's moves.

The Thunder Shock was merely a distraction, which was what Trinity was trying to tell me.

"Don't let them! Raichu, Thunderbolt!"

Raichu unleashed arcs of electricity to counteract Pikachu's Thunder Shock, but I was ready for that.

"Eevee, Iron Tail on the sand!"

Eevee's tail streaked through the ground, sending a cloud of sand at the Thunderbolt, completely nullifying it.

Surge couldn't help but grin with surprise. "No way..."

Raichu, in his surprise, was promptly struck by the electricity, groaning in pain. "Rai..."

"Swift, Eevee!" I shouted.

Eevee jumped and flicked an arc of star-like energy, each exploding on impact. Raichu was knocked backward, wincing in pain.

"Strong attacks, but Raichu still has electricity charged in him! Release it with a Thunderbolt!" Surge said.

"Chuuuu!" Raichu sent the electricity he stored plus the electricity from the Thunderbolt at Eevee, who looked unfazed.

"Iron Tail," I said simply.

Eevee's steel-like tail conducted the electricity, sparks of lightning surrounding it.

Instead of ordering Eevee to send it back at Raichu, I ordered, "Eevee, send it at Pikachu!"

"Absorb it, Pikachu!" Trinity said.

The lighting struck Pikachu, who seemed to struggling for a moment, and then he sucked in the crackling energy and stored it in his cheek pouches.

I figured that if Raichu could store electricity in his pouches, then his pre-evolved forms should be able to as well.

"That's smart, I'll tell you that! Raichu, absorb it when Pikachu releases it again."

"Volt Tackle!" Trinity ordered.

A powerful aura of electricity engulfed Pikachu like whips, extending and warping as its power fluctuated. Then, in a blur, Raichu was hit one, three, five times in two seconds, sending him sprawling into the ground. He was hit so fast he was unable to absorb the electricity in time

"Rai..." Raichu got up, breathing heavily. We did very good damage to him. Pikachu and Eevee were more or less healthy. But that didn't make me any more relaxed. The tide of a battle can be turned around in the blink of an eye.

"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"

"Eevee, Swift again!"

Before both Pokemon could activate their moves, Lieutenant Surge grinned. "We learned this from Ash. Agility and Iron Tail."

In the blink of an eye, Raichu suddenly smacked Eevee and Pikachu with his own metallic tail, sending them tumbling into the floor.

"Huh?" I said, utterly befuddled. "But I thought Raichu couldn't learn Agility, that's how Ash won.x And come to think of it, a Raichu can't learn Nasty Plot or Iron Tail either."

"You're right, Raichu can't, not on its own" Surge agreed. "But I learned that a Pikachu can teach a Raichu how to use those moves. In the past few years, I've learned how powerful a Pokemon can be without evolving."

Yeah, he's right about that, but that didn't mean I wasn't going to evolve my Pokemon. Maybe Eevee will choose not to evolve, but the rest of my Pokemon would. I'm not Ass—unlike him, I'll make sure to train my Pokemon to their full potential. At least Ass had enough sense to use fully-evolved Pokemon in the World Coronation Series. Imagine if he pulled up with a first form Pokemon? He would have gotten destroyed.

"Swift, Eevee!"

Eevee recuperated and shot a Swift at Raichu.

"Agility and Nasty Plot."

Raichu simply dodged the Swift and powered up with the dark aura again. Damn it, he was getting faster and stronger while weakening Eevee and Pikachu in the process. I guess the rumors were true, the Gym Leaders of Kanto really aren't fucking around anymore.

Fine, we would need more trickery to win.

"Eevee, Swift again!" I said, pretending to be desperate. Pikachu was staying back, probably knowing that we had a plan.

"Is that your only trick?" Surge boasted. "Agility and Iron Tail again!"

"Attract."

"What?!" Surge cried in surprise.

Raichu rushed to Eevee, but was abruptly stopped by the Attract. He looked at Eevee with hearts in his eyes, a clear sign that the Attract worked.

"Now, Trinity!"

"Right! Pikachu, Double Team and Thunder Shock!"

Pikachu split into five. All of them jumped into the air and simultaneously charged up electricity, preparing to release it all.

"Raichu! Snap out of it!" Surge shouted in a futile attempt to bring his Pokemon to his senses.

The five Pikachu launched a wide and powerful stream of lightning at Raichu, who stood there and took it, a massive explosion erupting from where he stood.

"Absorb it!" Surge bellowed.

Raichu snapped out of the daze and yelled out in pain. He gritted his teeth and through sheer willpower managed to absorb the electricity, taking heavy damage in the process.

"What? There's no way he can absorb so much!" Trinity exclaimed.

"Raichu's just that tough," Surge grinned. "He can take hits like a champ. Raichu, release it with a Thunderbolt!"

A burst of lightning exploded out of Raichu, blowing Eevee and Pikachu away with a maelstorm of crackling energy, sending them crashing into the ground.

When the smoke cleared, Pikachu and Eevee were revealed to be standing, clenching their teeth in pain. Trinity and I sighed in relief. We thought it was over right there. But one thing is for sure: his Raichu was too powerful for us to fight with brute force. We needed strategy.

Trinity and I locked eyes and nodded. We knew what we had to do.

"I'll cover you," Trinity mouthed.

I grunted and shouted, "Eevee, Quick Attack!"

Surge smirked. "Let the Static take effect."

But Eevee didn't ram into him, instead she jumped over him and continued running.

"What? What is it doing?" Surge asked. "Don't let it, Raichu! Thunderbolt again!"

"I don't think so! Volt Tackle!"

Before Raichu could use his Thunderbolt, Pikachu smashed into him with a Volt Tackle, making him wince in pain as he was knocked backward.

Meanwhile, Eevee was bouncing off from wall to wall, gaining momentum and velocity every time she did.

Surge grunted with frustration. "Stop it, Raichu. Agility and Iron Tail."

Even with the Agility and Iron Tail combo, Eevee proved to be much too fast for him. She weaseled her way out of his attacks as she continued to charge up her Mega Quick Attack.

Pikachu and Raichu continued to fight Iron-Tail-to-Iron-Tail, the former trying to distract the latter. Pikachu was struggling due to Raichu's speed. It was only a matter of time when Pikachu was slashed by Raichu and was sent backward.

But it was ready.

"Eevee, now!" I shouted.

Eevee bounced off one more time and launched at Raichu, producing a sonic boom as she did, the force reverberating through the air.

"Eeeee..."

"Agility and Iron Tail!"

My eyes widened as Raichu suddenly turned, his tail flashing. His Agility sped him up again, and his Iron Tail was inching ever closer to Eevee, who had no time to turn...

Then Pikachu saved the entire battle.

"Pikachu, take the attack!" Trinity yelled.

Pikachu jumped in Raichu's way, grounding himself with his tail. He groaned in pain when the Iron Tail struck him, but he remained unmoving.

"Your tail! Propel Eevee!"

Taking his tail out of the ground, Pikachu held it out for Eevee to use it as a springboard. They grinned at each other for a second. Then Eevee kicked off Pikachu's tail and launched herself toward Raichu, who had no time to dodge.

Trinity and I smirked at each other.

"VEEEE!" Eevee shouted as she collided with Raichu, making the air ripple by Mega Quick Attack's sheer force. A shockwave erupted between Raichu and Eevee, and then the former was flung back in a blur toward a wall, slamming into it with destructive force.

"Rai..." he said and promptly slipped into unconsciousness, unable to any more damage.

"Pika!" Pikachu was about to celebrate but his eyes suddenly glazed over and he fell as well, passing out from the damage he took.

Eevee was the only one who remained standing.

But that meant we won.

"Raichu and Pikachu are unable to battle! And since Eevee is still standing, that means that the winners are Vali and Trinity of Viridian City!"

The crowd—which I didn't even know was there, when did they even get there?—erupted with cheers and claps.

"Even if there are two of them, no rookie could fight toe-to-toe with Surge like that!"

"Wow, is that even the same guy? He seemed so in sync with that Eevee!"

"That girl is way too strong!"

"Those two make such a strong team! I wonder... is Trinity single?"

I don't remember any crowd being there when we arrived. They must have arrived late into the battle or something. The lull of battle damped my sense of peripheral awareness for anything but the battle.

But I sort of missed the boos.

Despite the crowd cheering for me, I still knew I wasn't popular by any means. I had a feeling that it was going to be that way for a while. But I didn't care. Hatred fueled me.

Surge gave Raichu a sad grin as he returned him. "Great job Raichu, you really showed them how strong you can be."

Trinity and I walked to Eevee and Pikachu, the former of which was checking on the latter.

Pikachu slowly slipped back into consciousness, looking around, visibly confused. "Pika?"

Eevee tackled him into a hug and cried out, "Eevee!" in a triumphant manner, probably telling Pikachu that they won.

Pikachu's confusion seemed to clear and he grinned happily. "Pikachu!" he yelled in delight and hugged Eevee back.

The crowd cheered in a collective "Aww!"

Trinity and I smiled at the scene. Eevee and Pikachu have always been close. It was no surprise how immaculate their teamwork was.

Then I realized that Pikachu and Eevee weren't the only ones who could work together.

I casted a sidelong glance at Trinity. I guess we really did make a good team.

"If it wasn't for Pikachu's sacrifice, we would have lost," I said with a small smile.

"You're right," Trinity beamed with pride for Pikachu. "He really put in a lot of work, huh?"

Eevee and Pikachu noticed us and smiled, jumping into their trainer's arms.

"You and Pikachu worked together pretty well," I said, allowing her to climb up to my shoulder. "It could open up for combo strategies in the future."

"Vee!" Eevee agreed.

I gently patted her head and turned back to Surge, who was making his way to us with a shit-eating grin on his face.

"I have to say I'm impressed. I haven't had a battle that thrilling since Ash Ketchum battled me!" Surge said.

"It was an unconventional battle, but it was a difficult one," I admitted. I realized that Eevee and Pikachu wouldn't be able to fight Raichu alone.

"It was really fun," Trinity smiled. "Both Pokemon were able to fully test their strength. Fighting a fully-evolved Pokemon is really hard, though."

"You two have guts," Surge said. "Teamwork is vital in a Pokemon battle. That's how America won the war years ago."

Oh right, Surge is from America... What the fuck is America anyway? Sounds like a place where you buy guns and eat cheeseburgers and argue about politics.

"You two have earned this," Surge said, holding out both hands. "The Thunder Badge. Only for Trainers who aren't fucking pussies," he flashed a grin.

I smirked and took the badge. I was starting to like the guy. "Thanks."

"Thank you," Trinity grinned as she took the badge.

Our third badge. Six more to go...

Yeah, we had a long way to go.

"By the way, Vali," Surge said, turning his eyes to me. "You seem like the type of guy who loves to workout. When we aren't fighting challengers, we're training our bodies and our Pokemon. How about you come in whenever you're free so you can get some awesome workouts in? You're starting to develop a muscular body, so why not get some tips from professionals like us?"

My smirk widened. "You're starting to speak my language."

Trinity shook her head. "You're becoming a muscle head, Val."

I shrugged. "I'm not. Not yet, at least."

The truth was I've been having strange feelings lately, as if my life was going to become more dangerous soon. I was going to need train my body if I was going to survive. If my life was in danger, I wouldn't let my Pokemon die for me, I was going to pull my weight too.

"Let's get our Pokemon healed," I suggested.

"Good idea," Trinity nodded.

We said our goodbyes to Surge and left the Gym.

As we headed out of the Pokemon Center, I looked at the sky and wondered...

Would I see the light of day again?

Would I survive my first task?

A booming voice appeared in my head.

"Do not fear destiny, my Chosen One. You must fight fate, for fate is your greatest enemy."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Woo, the thirtieth chapter is complete!

The next chapter is when things really start to pick up. I know things have been moving at a glacier pace lately, but the story is going to start moving at a faster pace from here on out. Are you excited? I am!

Some of you might be wondering why I chose some of the most overrated Pokemon to be Trinity and Vali's partners. Well, there are a few explanations.

While Eevee is very popular in media, it is overshadowed by Pikachu in-universe. Think about it, after Ash Ketchum, who has a Pikachu as his partner, became the strongest Trainer in the world, which Pokemon would new Pokemon Trainers choose when given the option between both them? Pikachu, obviously. Professor Oak normally gives the three Kanto starters to new Trainers, but when those three Pokemon have already been taken, he allows new Trainers to choose Pikachu or Eevee. Everyone would try to be like Ash and choose Pikachu when given the choice

So Eevee, being unpopular compared to Pikachu, wouldn't be chosen by new Trainers. And so Vali's goal is to make Eevee widely known by becoming the best Trainer in the world.

Now onto Trinity. If Pikachu is more overrated in-universe than in real life, why would I give one to her? Well, that's because Trinity isn't trying to be a wannabe Ash. Sure, she might look up to him, but she wants to be her own Trainer. Her Pikachu is much different than Ash's Pikachu. She's going to carve her own path with her own Pikachu. That's why I chose Pikachu to be her partner. She's going to show that having a Pikachu doesn't automatically make you an Ash rip-off.

I don't know why, but I just figured that I should address that.

Anyway, I just want to ask, what do you guys think of Vali so far as the main character? I not only him want him to compelling, but I want him to be inspiring. Personality-wise, I'm writing him to be similar to Naofumi Iwatani from Shield Hero. He's distrusting and naturally indifferent to others while having a lot of underlying anger and bitterness, but he softens up whenever he finds people he can trust. I just want to know what you think of him so far.

That Vali and Trinity teamwork goes kind of hard, though.

There's going to be a special Pokemon next arc. What do you think it is? Hint: It's a Ghost-type (which should be obvious).

As always, if you have any suggestions for characters, locations, and Pokemon you would like to see in the future, don't be afraid to comment.

And thank you guys for 6k views!
