Spiritomb

Spiritomb

While I thought the whole ghost types being born from resentment and hatred thing was bullshit I knew that there were a few actual exceptions to this. Spiritomb was one of those as it was a species of pokemon that was only born after many lives were lost in a location. This wasn't conjecture or myth or some other nonsense but cold hard fact. While it was true that the vast majority of ghost types were born without death being even slightly involved the ones who were born from it had a very bad habit of being highly dangerous and aggressive depending on the circumstances of the deaths.-

It was so bad in fact that even the league had public announcements to avoid these pokemon because seven out of ten times the pokemon was after your life. The list at the moment of ghost type pokemon to avoid in the wild was Spiritomb , Froslass and Drifblim. For good reason too as each and every one of them wanted to kill you in most cases. It was even worse in that very few Spiritomb were known to exist and the ones that were tended to be massively understudied so little was known about them other than one detail that made me very nervous at the moment.-

The more negative energy that went into their creation the higher the chance of them being a legion Spiritomb. Legion Spiritomb were widely considered the only variant of the species to exist and the defining feature of this variation was the black color of the spirit body and the many star like red dots all through out it. I was making eye contact with exactly one such pokemon through the compacted soil and metal between it and myself.-

I watched the jagged red mouth turn into a malicious grin and reacted immediately "DEFENSIVE POSITIONS!" I yelled just in time for the ground above the Spiritomb to explode. Ominous energy rolled out of the hole darkening the surroundings as a feeling of malice and dread fell upon my team and I. This was no mischievous but friendly Sableye that we needed to deal with but a violent entity born from the resentment and hatred of several thousand people and pokemon. While I doubted that everyone who lived in Slateport had been killed as Groudon passed through I knew that those who had been unwilling or unable to flee had died.-

'Note to self Spiritomb can split their attention in multiple ways at once.' I thought as I saw the pokemon multitask without any issue at all. I suppose it made sense given their many personalitied minds but it wasn't included in the known information on the things. For those wondering why I was fighting this thing rather than leaving it alone then the answer is twofold. First was because I wanted it on my team , it was a variant legendary after all.-

Second because now that the whole Groudon thing was over with I imagined that people will want to rebuild here and if I just left this thing here it was DEFINITELY going to kill a lot of people. Spiritomb weren't the sort of pokemon to leave the area they were born in which put this one in a particularly bad spot. I'm not saying it couldn't leave if it wanted to only that it would in most cases simply stay here until something disturbed it like a random guy staring at it from the surface or say a construction crew digging out the land for foundations.-

One might think that I have have some really crazy luck to keep getting in these situations with legendries but you should keep in mind that the world seems to want me in these same scenarios. (A/N: Have you seen this guys roulette though? He's fucking HARD to make interesting otherwise.) Anyways Gaia finally released a dark colored ripple of energy that struck the cloud body of the Spiritomb and made it contract in pain and hiss and howl in anger. Vulcan took that opportunity to bat the keystone into the air which caused the ghost to panic and move to protect it.-

I wasn't going to be explaining that it's keystone was damn near indestructible to it though as this worked in my favor. "Gaia keep hitting it! Vulcan lava plume! Rune flashing rain!" I barked out my orders and they acted on them. The ground under the falling Spiritomb opened up and lava shot up in a geyser as if the molten rock sought to devour the pokemon. Rune meanwhile sent the ball of electric type energy sparking at the keystones destination causing the ghost to take serious damage as it passed through. The final blow was a series of back to back dark pulses that knocked it out leaving a dull looking keystone on the pool of lava that was rapidly cooling.
