˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ𝑰𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒅𝒅 𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 to ask the man out of the blue. What the man may or may not have known was that there was a GENGAR about to scare him in threeㅤ—ㅤtwo ㅤ—ㅤ

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤW - well, yeah ! You CAN be ! I'm kind of like that too ! But people and places usually become haunted if someone diesㅤ—ㅤor if they go to an area with a LOT of ghosts ! Has something like that happened ?ㅤ❜

" ...Well, I mean, yeah. "
Funny how he doesn't outright deny it. Truth be told, he knows his own shortcomings--and a desperate desire to fill an undefined hole by surrounding himself with people is one of them.
" Can't a man be both, though? "
‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒂. Sure, he was MORE attuned to the otherworldly than most people were, he still wasn't quite at his mum's level yet. There was definitely a possibility he was missing SOMETHING.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤM - maybe ! Hopefully it's just a few stray ghost Pokémon and nothing else. Should we LOOK ?ㅤ❜
It's strange, really, to come to the conclusion that the cafe has something going on, enough to call in an expert on the supernatural. He's not really sure what to expect, but if it is ghosts, at least he and his Zoroark might have an advantage. If it's not, then... Well, he's not really sure what to do in that case.
" Eh, as far as I know, no? But we are kinda in a back alley, and there are plenty of stuff going on around the city. Maybe something happened nearby...? "
‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻. Even with the child's face completely obscured by that strange white mask, it was almost TOO easy to see his expression drop.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤCrumbsㅤ—ㅤyeah, you GOT me.ㅤ❜
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThe Gengar behind him OBVIOUSLY hadn't given up though; making the most GOD - AWFUL shriek a Pokémon could possibly make the moment the psychic specialist turned around.
"I would ask if you were Morty and if your gengar was about to scare me." It wouldn't have been the first time, nor would it be the last. However, as the psychic elite turned around, he hoped to catch the ghost type off guard.
‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑯𝒆'𝒔 𝒅𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒆𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓. It would have been quite SILLY for a literal ghost specialist to be afraid of ghosts. The only thing he was really worried about was the possibility of it being a STRONG ghost Pokémon or perhaps even multiple strong ghost Pokémon. After all, he had no idea how this guy's ability as a Pokémon trainer wasㅤ—ㅤor if he even WAS one.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤO - Okay ! Thanks ! I'll follow you !ㅤ❜
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThe boy speaks; carefully TRAILING BEHIND the older teenager towards the back of that quaint little cafe.
" Probably. I mean, it's likely the only way we'd know for sure, right? C'mon, I'll show you how to get behind the shop. "
He's not so much afraid as he is curious. If it's just a ghost Pokemon, then that means there's an easy explanation, one that can be easily taken care of with a simple relocation. He quietly gestures for the other to follow him.
‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑰𝒕 𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆; one that the child usually WOULD have taken on despite his own timidness. Butㅤ—ㅤit's not really fun anymore when the other was expecting it. The duo would have to wait for a more OPPORTUNE timeㅤ—ㅤpreferably when the other forgot about this encounter and was no longer aware.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWe would give it another shotㅤ—ㅤbut it doesn't really WORK as well if you know it's coming ! A good scare is one you're NOT expecting !ㅤ❜
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤDoes this Morty scare you ALL the time ?ㅤ❜
Will gave the child a smile. "Don't feel too bad about it; I would have detected your pokemon's presence sooner or later anyway. I just happened to have experience with Morty's."
And speaking of said pokemon...
Will winced at the unholy screech, covering his ears while giving a blank, unimpressed stare at the gengar. "You'll have to do better than that to get me," he said, fully aware of the challenge he just threw down.
‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑴𝒂𝒚𝒃𝒆 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔ㅤ—ㅤand yet here was; quietly WATCHING as the newest batch of gym challengers would flood in. It was that time of year after all when the letters of endorsement would be sent out; inviting trainers to take on all of the gym leaders one by one.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤWHY was he so nervous ? He was a GYM LEADER after all; one of the eight that stood in the trainers' way of getting to the Champion cup ! Even if he lost ( which was just a thing that happened sometimes when one was a Pokemon trainer ), he was still pretty strong; he'd like to think.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThe truth was; the BATTLES weren't even the scariest part. It was actually talking to the trainers and interacting with them.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤMaybe he should have ACTUALLY said ' Hello ' to the woman like a normal person. With the anxiety still gripping at him though; he continued to just stay quiet as she would begin to check in.
@indeliblepromise
It was her first time abroad! Her first time travelling away from Hoenn to see other regions and experience new sights, new pokemon. The culture here wasn't that different from her own, but it was very much a new experience for her.
Stepping out of the plane that brought her here, she stretched and rubbed her eyes. Jet lag...
Nanami wished she could've just flown here on Altaria, but that would've been too much for her poor pokemon. Too far a distance. Well, she was coming to witness the start of the gym challenge in Motostoke, so she heaved her bag up on her shoulder to head to the nearest hotel. Checking in was priority, then head over there.
‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤT - that sounds about right. Most of them ENJOY scaring people. It's kind of how I met my own !ㅤ❜
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ𝑴𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔, 𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒓 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒇𝒖𝒍 in scaring people. But even then, some people were just not phased by GHOST POKEMON very easily anymore. Oh well.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThen again, that was kind of the ONLY thing he was good atㅤ—ㅤaside from BATTLING. Oh geez.
˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWhat's MORTY and his Gengar like ?ㅤ❜
"That is true~ I'm sure that, one day you'll be able to catch me unawares." However, psychics tended to have the ability to sense when something was about to happen, so it was hard to take a good number of them by surprise.
"Morty himself doesn't; his own Gengar is another story, however."
