Being held in his arms -- which were being used as a swing of sorts -- was a young woman. Sitting in her lap was an albino Sableye, who clung to her trainer as she peered down into the trees below. Esprit was on the lookout for Pokemon. She knew what Arcadie liked and had yet to find anything of interest in the creepy forest below. Said girl, however... seemed bored. She held her Pokemon close enough that she wouldn't fall, but her head was leaned up against her flyer's arm, gazing off into the distance. They hadn't been here that long, but already she wished to go back to the hotel. However, they needed to look for more Pokemon. Not that the ones she already hadn't weren't good enough... but they needed extra company and Arcadie wanted to add more to her repertoire. In particular... one called Spiritomb. [/scrolly]

Even with the slight rain that was starting to fall, Black Jack Spade was in a good mood. He had grown rather comfortable in the grove as of late and had been spending considerable amounts of time in said area simply because he found it enjoyable. Walking with his hands in his pockets and a general slightly cheesy smile on his face, BJ continued to walk through the area not even noticing that there was someone overhead. BJ quit wasting time damn it Third snapped in the back of Jack's mind rather irritated. He greatly disliked the fact that BJ had been waiting so much time as of late, yet there wasn't much that could be done aside from growling and generally being pissy at his host (for the time being anyways). Ripper, who was rather pleased to find an irritated Third, was simply chuckling to himself quietly. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

[KARP KARP!]

Walking happily through the grove, a young, white haired boy was heading toward Jack unknowingly. Beside the boy was a Gengar, slightly darker than usual; Spectre, Damien's shiny companion. The kid's purple eyes sparkled as an eerie giggle escaped him.

Suddenly, the Gengar's eyes brightened, and Spectre slipped into the shadows. Then, behind Jack, the Gengar slipped up, grinning mischievously. "GAAAAR!" he cried, flicking his tongue at the same time.

Meanwhile, Damien just walked merrily. The boy loved this place; it was like his second home, practically. It was just so much fun here. But..the boy slowed a little; he wasn't really good with people skills.

Arcadie, excited that maybe she was pointing at a Pokemon, quickly glanced down and sat forward slightly. The Drifblim made a noise of displeasure as she did this, worried that he might drop the girl. However, the human quickly sighed. What did catch her attention was the Gengar, but she didn't allow herself to get too excited. It almost definitely belonged to one of the two down there. "Go ahead and land, Ficelle," she instructed. The flyer did just that, lowering her slowly so she could land and look between the two without much interest. She continued to hold onto Esprit, however, and the Sableye just peered curiously at them all, particularly keeping an eye Spectre. The Drifblim continued to hover above her, blocking the sprinkling rain from getting to her. However... none of the three said anything. [/scrolly]

However, the man was far too used to such spectacles for his own good. Of course, this didn't stop Ripper from hissing, Third from sighing, and Cas from--- whatever that noise Cas made when he was scared and acted spineless. After a moment, Jack turned around and simply grinned at Spectre. "Well hello to you too," he answered back with ease. It was then that he actually caught sight of the girl landing (rather than turning and seeing Damien who was now behind him. "Oh hi," he smiled waving. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]
[atrb=style,border:0 black none;][atrb=height,27][cs=3]

[KARP KARP!]

The Gengar sighed, waving his hand as if to say 'You're no fun.' Then, Spectre turned and made his way back to his trainer.

The boy giggled, looking at the two humans and the girl's Pokemon, especially intrigued by the Drifblim above her. He wanted one ;-; The giggle was kind of eerie, especially in this environment. An equally as eerie grin spread across his face. "Hello," he said, giggling again at the end.

"Bonjour~" she offered to both of them collectively. While she did give the boy an interested look as a result of his creepy laugh. "That's quite a handsome Gengar you have accompanying you," she commented with a smile. "I'm actually here in search of another ghost myself. I'm looking for one in particular, but I'd be all about catching others." Giving Jack another glance, she inwardly wondered if he'd be any use to her in the long run... at least he was old enough to date. The boy would only serve to help her find the Pokemon she was after, if that. However, that was the whole reason she'd come here so it was her focus at the moment. She tried not to ostracize the man, though, letting her gaze shift between the two. [/scrolly]

That kid...he seems fun....I ... wanna kill him, heh Ripper chuckled deeply causing Cas to whimper quietly something about no killing allowed. Third, meanwhile, rolled his eyes and wondered if either the girl or the child would prove useful in any manner. He honestly doubted it seeing as they were all in the Haunted Grove rather than somewhere more suited for work. Hey Third! Third! THIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRDDDDDD! Cas called before Ripper hissed causing the voice to silence. ...What? Third asked. I want the girl Cas grinned. Both Third and Ripper face/palmed rather hard. Meanwhile with all this chaos playing out in the back of BJ's mind, the purple haired man was rather cool with it all and seemed to be smirking to himself. "A specific Ghost?" he asked raising his eyebrow. "Like what?" [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]

[KARP KARP!]

Damien looked from the man to the woman, and Spectre did the same.

"I come here a lot. Most of my Pokemon, I got from here. It's fun to play here, and I know my way around," he said slowly, almost eerily, looking directly at the female. The male for some reason, kind of creeped him out.

Spectre just stood there, mildly annoyed that the man wasn't afraid of him.

Maybe you've seen a wild Spiritomb around? Preferably one of a unique color?" Arcadie knew that a fellow Ghost-lover would surely know something. At least, she hoped. Only then did she look back to Jack and gave a curious look before answering. "I hope to actually gather quite a few more Ghosts, but I am currently in search of a Spiritomb more than anything. As my current three Pokemon are of different colors, I'd prefer to keep it that way for more of my Pokemon." The girl didn't really care what they thought of her saying this -- she was picky and spoiled and found nothing wrong with this. In fact, she didn't actually feel that she was being picky in this particular circumstance. After all, it wasn't as though she was specifically looking for a shiny Spiritomb or a melanistic... she just didn't want a normal-colored one. [/scrolly]

BJ's eye then slid to the boy as he stated he came here a lot. Well that was interesting, he wondered why he'd never met the kid till now. Heh, oh well. Smirking a bit, BJ simply shrugged his shoulders a bit at the boy and his ghost. At the question on a different colored Spiritomb, Jack blinked. Like... shiny? Or... oh! "Like this?" he asked pulling out a pokeball and releasing a Gastly. The Gastly seemed to sway a bit to himself as though he were starting to dance, but what really caught the eye about him was that he was completely white (abet grey in some areas, but almost). [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]
[atrb=style,border:0 black none;][atrb=height,27][cs=3]

[KARP KARP!]

Damien smiled widely at the mention of a different-colored Spiritomb, and it only got wider when Jack released the white Gastly. "Spectre's shiny," he said, motioning to the Gengar, who said nothing, just sort of admiring the Gastly.

"I have a Spiritomb, but it's normal colored. I can take you where I found him; it's this old house, ghost-pokemon are everywhere." He giggled quite eerily at this; in fact, most normal people would probably have been scared of this boy, but it was growing obvious these two were far from normal, and thus right up Damien's alley.

"Yes, like that. You... wouldn't be willing to sell me that one or... I dunno, maybe breed me another?" She gave him a smile, looking polite and sincere. He couldn't know it, of course, but she wasn't the kind to even bother with lying about payment. Money was no object to her. Turning her attention to Damien after a moment, she glanced at his Gengar and nodded. "Oh, really? Hm... There hardly seems to be much of a difference for his species. That's still impressive that he's with you, though. I would be very grateful if you'd bring me to this house you mentioned, too." Sure, he might be a creepy little child but she could deal with him. They had a similar interest: ghosts. [/scrolly]

How much do you think we'd get? Third asked, and for a brief moment in time, BJ blinked caught between a conflict with himself and Third. It was rather rare that they conflicted when it came down to it seeing as Third was by far the most logical (if a tad business crazy) of the voices. After a few seconds, he brought a finger to his chin and thought. We have a Gastly already. Easy evolution is easy Third stated. But this Gastly is so pretty! Cas complained. Ripper was trying to stay out of it for the moment for some reason but was quietly growling all the same. "Eh, maybe," he answered back before returning the Gastly and putting the ball back in his pocket. How much can a kid have anyways? "I'd have to think 'bout it," the purple haired man stated with a half smile. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]
[atrb=style,border:0 black none;][atrb=height,27][cs=3]

[KARP KARP!]

"Yeah...it looks cooler as a Ghastly or Haunter, but Spectre wanted to evolve, so I evolved him." The Gengar gave a nod in agreement, but he was bored. Damien clutched the Banette doll he always carried with his left hand even if his writer forgot to mention it until now.

With a grin, the boy nodded. "It's over here! Follow me~" he replied giddily, skipping off in the direction of the house, giggling and hoping they followed. Spectre sighed, walking alongside him.

"Take as much time as you need. If you haven't decided by the time we split ways from this area, I'll give you my number so you can call me if you decide to sell him or at least breed him." Arcadie hoped he'd make a decision before leaving, however... she didn't want to give him the number and have him call for any reason besides the Gastly. Turning her attention to the younger boy, she nodded in understanding. "I meant no ill will, of course. He's an impressive sight no matter what his coloring." At his excitement about leading her to this abandoned house he spoke of, she smiled and walked after him. Ficelle followed after, floating above her head and being something of a "living" parasol or umbrella. The Sableye in her arms simply peered ahead of them, wary of the boy and his Gengar. [/scrolly]

Cas mumbled aloud causing Jack to blink as well. Indeed, she sounded pretty mature... Maybe she was taught to be that way... rich kids............. Third suggested finding himself intrigued at his own idea. Though they he meaning Black Jack, the host of course, was well off, Third always did find himself thinking on ways to make more. It was best to keep working, keep going, keep moving about and working, heh. As Damien walked off, Jack simply nodded and found himself following suit rather easily. "Haunted house here we come," he chimed. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,width:154;border:0 black none;]
[atrb=style,border:0 black none;][atrb=height,27][cs=3]

[KARP KARP!]

The white-haired ten year old walked ahead, his eyes scanning the area, though he ignored the conversation between the other two; it was really none of his business, anyway. Besides, he was more focused on his surroundings, hoping a Pokemon he could catch would show up or something.

Soon, the house could be seen in the distance, and Damien pointed as he kept walking. "There!"

At about the same time Damien mentioned it, she saw the building ahead. Humming thoughtfully, she grinned. This was so exciting. Even more amusing to have two boys accompanying her -- one younger, of course, but the other was likely older. Continuing to walk on after Damien, she got a bit more giddy the closer they got. "I sure hope there's some nice Pokemon here," she mumbled, mostly to herself. Already she started to imagine what a leucistic or abundistic Spiritomb might look like... How she hoped something unique would be in that house. [/scrolly]
