Berry Inquisition

Sorren Had only glanced the boards for the first time to find a job that lined up with his plans perfectly. He wanted to Get a couple of pecha berries because He seemed to have a habit of being poisoned. In no time he was in pecha forest, he would spend three posts A couple of minutes getting deeper into the dungeon before starting searching for pecha berries, and that grey one for his client.

Boy did this forest bring back memories, two or so weeks ago he arrived in grassveil after hearing about it in this forest. Seems only fitting to do his first job here.

A strange figure moved through the forest, wearing a black cloak with a hood, so there was no way of telling, what it was. However, the Pokémon's movements were oddly silent. As it went along on it's way, it heard something rustle the dry leaves that were lying on the ground. Moving towards the noise, the figure spotted a Torchic hopping around in the forest. Not wanting to start a fight, the figure simply ignored the Torchic, moving along.

Sorren, looking around for the stairs spotted a cloak, floating, all the color drained from his face. He barely stopped himself from screaming and ducked into a nearby bush. He was shaking but he hoped that the figure would move on, whatever dark secrets it hid, Sorren didn't want to know.

The figure continued to float through the forest, occassionally looking around. At those times, a pair of fangs could be seen gleaming in the tiny amount of light, that broke through the leaves.
At times, it seemed to mutter something to itself, although it would be hard to make out.

"...they were right..."
"...I don't deserve it..."
"...have to live with the pain..."
"...forever alone..."
"...friends.."

If one were to listen closely, there was a small hint of an emotion in the being's voice.
It sounded almost sad...

Sorren took a step back and fell down a small dip into A clearing, with three pokemon waiting for him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!"

As it heard the scream, the figure immediately turned around, trying to find it's source.
Not long after, it found the clearing the scream seemed to have hailed from.
On it, a Pidove, a Rattata and a Sunkern could be seen, cornering the Torchic it had seen earlier.
Deciding that it had to defend the Fire type, it floated onto the clearing.
Due to the increase in light, it could now clearly be seen, that the strange figure was in fact a Gastly.
This Gastly now floated towards the Rattata, humming a strange melody as it used Hypnosis.
Almost immediately both the Gastly's and the Rattata's eyes began to glow in an eerie red as the Rattata drifted off into sleep.

Sorren continued to scream when the Figure came down, revealed itself as a ball of menacing purple and black gas with glowing eyes. The sunkern made a move toward sorren, he dodged, put his foot out, and scratched it as it slammed past him. He still hadn't stopped screaming, except to take a quick breath now and then.

Since he couldn't do very much against the other two attackers, the Gastly decided to attack the Sunkern.
Slowly the clear outline of the Gastly's body faded, the purple mist spreading mostly in the Grass types direction. As it breathed it in, it began coughing violently, having sustained some damage and apparently having been poisoned as well.
The gas itself quickly faded or flowed back towards the main body of the Gastly, which was now as clearly defined as before.

Sorren was running on automatic.He used focus energy, then scratch on the sunkern knocking it out.Sorren had forgotten about the pidove and it hit him full speed with a quick attack, knocking Sorren into a tree, knocking something loose from the tree and hitting sorren on the head before bouncing over to the gastly.

The thing was a Pecha Berry, which, due to his typing, wasn't of great use to the Poison type, so he decided to leave it for the Torchic.
While the Normal type moves of the Pidove wouldn't be able to hurt him, they posed a threat to the Torchic, so the Gastly focussed his negative mental energy onto it, utilitzing the move Spite to make it unable to use that attack again. From the distressed look on the target's face, it could be seen, that the attack had worked.
However, the Pidove followed with a Gust attack, blowing the Gastly through the air quite a distance and dispersing some of it's gas into the air.

Sorren had focus scratched the Pidove, making it stamer a bit, but came back with another gust sending the torchic flying. A pecha berry hit him in the face, and he took his time in free fall to put it in his bag, Score! 

*Crash*

Sorren landed in a tangle of branches and leaves, slightly disoriented. However he happened to land on something that was bad for his health, the rattata, who was awake and angry, He was tackled into the same tree as before. Today was not his day.

As he didn't really have much of a choice in attacks, the Gastly decided to use his normal attack against the Pidgey.
As he slammed into it with his body, the Pidgey seemed to have lost consciousness.
Meanwhile the Rattata had snuck up on him from behind, attempting to tackle the Gastly.
The Gastly couldn't help but chuckle a bit after recovering from the surprise, as the Rattata jumped right through him, awkwardly landing on the ground after that.

Sorren was trying to orient himself when he realized that the rattata was preoccupied. Both the pidove and the Sunkern had fainted and sorren was left with a cho- He ran. He tried getting as far away as possible from that evil looking face and that body made out of gas.

As he saw the Torchic run away, the Gastly sighed sadly. Another Pokémon didn't even bother talking to him. Thus, he floated into the air, making it impossible for the Rattata to reach him, and continued floating through the forest, head hanging low.
"What did I do to deserve this...?"

Once sorren had run away he found a safe place to sit down and rest, then his brain kicked in and he realized the actions the ghastly took seemed to be that of trying to assist Sorren in a fight. He was so caught up in being scared he hadn't thought of what the pokemon might actually be like. But they were called ghost types for a reason, and he looked REALLY scary. Even if sorren wanted to try and ask the motivations of the ghost pokemon, he would be too scared to do so. He headed to the stairs, but stopped. He should do something, what if that guy was just trying to be nice? Sorren thought about it, and he sat in front of the stairs, The ghastly would have to talk to him in order to leave, Sorren didn't like the plan, but he knew he couldn't approach the ghastly, so he would rather have it the other way around.
