Ask the Ghost types

Hello! Welcome to the home of the ghost types. All 27* released ghost type pokemon can be found here. They can be fun to hang around, but be careful that the joke isn't on you! *Gen 6 pokemon to still be updated. Background credit goes to Amastroph

The reaper glared, air blown out of his impressive jaws in the expression of a snarl, before his mind finally caught up with his body and rewinded the last five seconds for review and approval. His eye widened, finally registering the unmoving Shedinja as definitely not a legendary trying to kill him.

Oh crap.

"…Mewdammit. Mewdam- I didn’t hurt you too much, did I. Tell me I didn’t. I don’t want to be held accountable for ghostly homicide." He hovered over to the fallen Shedinja, leaning over the hollow caparace. Reaching over to pick it up, the feeling of a breeze stopped him, before the husk started levitating again of it’s own volition. He hovered back a foot, the golden bands lighting up momentarily. Well, that was a relief.

"My apologies. I’m… not myself at the moment." He grunted, glancing hatefully at the dark patches levitating and vanishing in the air. "I’m afraid I’m not sure myself… All I know is that I was fleeing from two legendaries made of darkness when it stuck to me. My best guess is shadow byproducts from both of their auras together trying to consume me because of my typing."

[askghosttypes]

It was fortunate that it did not have to wait long. The dusknoir regained its senses, and had hovered over to the shedinja to aid it. Not that it couldn't right itself though. "It is as I said, attacking me with your moves won't kill me. Being a dusknoir, you have other ways of killing me. You certainly do. But not by throwing punches like that one."

The shedinja seemed to bore into the dusknoir's eye as the larger ghost explained the black substance. The husk began to mumbly whisper as it floated closer to the dusknoir and shifted it's body to focus on the black essence. "Two legendaries of darkness? There might be books about them somewhere." 

Letting some of the essence touch and sweep around it, the shedinja turned it's body to further face the dusknoir's eye. "Do you happen to know Will-O-Wisp? I would like some light to better see this matter, but although it may not look like it, you punch has made me too weak at the moment to use my own moves."

((Continuation to Cowardice.))

Startled out of his thoughts by the strange, ominous voice from his side, the Dusknoir could be excused for panicking and acting out of line. Such as trying to punch the everloving crap out of whatever it was that hovered by his shoulder.

Darius didn’t pause, didn’t think. Something had sneaked by him and then decide to hand around by his side, whispering to him. Considering what he had seen at the summit, he had more than enough reasons to be jumpy; and as such, and prompted on by the dark effect the peeling shadows had on his mind, he didn’t even register the innocent question as a question.

The Dusknoir roared, his golden bands and marks glowing brightly for the second when he threw his fist at the so far innocent Shedinja, wrapped in the black flames of a Shadow Punch. He would probably regret this later, whatever the outcome of this…

[askghosttypes]

Shelter

This time, it seemed to get a response. Which came in the form of a shriek and an incoming fist. The shedinja took the blow,  smacking against the wall behind the two of them and falling limp to the ground. There was not point in lying to itself; it should have expected this. Others tended to freak out when it got that close. So much for trying to articulate one's self. 

The shedinja laid there for a moment, as if it was an actual husk. However, a breeze returned to the cave, this time seeming to form words: "This is pointless, I'm sure you know. I'm only asking what is that matter coming off of you." Lethargically , the shedinja began to float and correct its body, until it was floating upright and and facing the dusknoir, staring in silence. The ghost in question may not of heard it again, but the shedinja would wait until it got a reaction out of the Gripper Pokemon to speak up again.

[the-tornworlders-deactivated201]

((Continuation to Cowardice.))

Black splotches of dark stuff peeled off his fabric-like skin, like ash breaking off a burnt body and dragged up by the upward draft. It stung faintly as the patches floated only to dissappear in midair, but the large ghost took it as a good sign. It meant that the darkness that had threatened to consume him in his mad dash down the mountain was finally letting up.

He didn’t want to think about what the shadowy substance was, either. Chances were that delving too much into it wouldn’t improve his current mental health either. He had been faintly aware while fleeing the blast radius of his emotions blowing out of control, specially anger. He wasn’t entirely sure wether to link it to the shadowy patches , but they seemed to want to turn him into something, and that was more than enough reason for him to feel concerned.

For now… he just felt numb.

He guessed he should feel anything… something. Anger, sadness, despair, fear… but it felt like all his emotions had fled him, the moment he ran into shelter. He’d had his breakdown through his escape, and at the moment he felt like he had no more care to give.

Darius leaned back, and closed his eye. He still felt the telltale spiritual signatures of many souls up there, and they stung at his mind like clinical needles. Who knows how many of those had turned into something malevolent while he was hiding. Even now, the effects of the concentrated shadow and void energy weren’t wearing off. An unsightly patch of blackened woods and evil spirits now stood near the summit, the corruption and rot slowly spreading downhill and contaminating even the water that ran down it with it’s shadows.

Lethargic as he felt, it would be no surprise if somebody managed to sneak into the cavern.

[askghosttypes]

 It saw the dusknoir crammed there, inside the cave. It itself had wandered into the place from outside. That did not matter though. The dusknoir did not matter either, but the black substance emanating from the ghost did warrant an inquiry. 

It, a shedinja, floated closer to the entity. A sound of a breeze echoed through the cave.

No, it wasn't heard. It didn't mind, it's voice could've sounded like anything in a cave like this. It floated further still, practically resting on the  dusknoir's shoulder.

Once again, the shedinja spoke; "What is this matter?" The question itself was pathetically simple, but it sufficed.

Reblog if you believe that writing is a type of art.

// Just a test! Reblog it if my muse can jump in your askbox without annoying the mun!

((not actually colors, but Dusknoir, Gengar and Banette with real life bird patterns uvu;))

Edit: Forgot some black spots for Banette that the Mourning Dove has.

((I’ll list these based on their number in the Pokedex, and also give a link to what species they’re based off of.))

Gengar:

((Coloration is based off of The Swainson’s Lorikeet, a subspecies of the Rainbow Lorikeet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Lorikeet ))

Banette:

((Coloration is based off of The Mourning Dove, with a paler coloration in the main feathers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mourning_Dove ))

Dusknoir:

((Coloration is based off of The Andaman Hawk-Owl, with the Navy Blue coloration being based on the picture I had used for reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andaman_Hawk-Owl ))

((Overall, I had a lot of fun drawing these. This is also the first time that we see Dusknoir on this blog, pre-reference completion. Rather odd-looking huh?))

[ask-prince-ashton-typhlosion]

Put a few colors in my ask box and I'll draw the recolor results of my muse!

[askghosttypes]

((I feel like trying this out, based on what I've seen of others doing this. If you put in a few colors, it would be helpful to say which ghost you want to see the colors in. Thanks!))

"Hey… Aren’t you the one that wanted to set my tail on fire so I could look like a Charizard?” *growls* “Hmm… first, what’s that you got under there and maybe I’ll let you stay?”

[askghosttypes]

"It may look like it's almost done, but I still got to adjust the inside contents of the whole contraption to make it work as well as finish some of the parts. We're good now? Oh yeah, would you also mind keeping this between the three of us, including that Seadra? I want to to make sure I can trust you to keep this under wraps...no pun intended."

Shuppet's Blog Post

     Hey everyone, it's your new friend, Shuppet! I don't have a lot of time to goof off, considering that I do some weird "stuff" with Litwick as well as my own "stuff". I'm not going to tell you what it is. It's not lewd though! I ALSO HAVE TO SAY THAT BECAUSE WHENEVER I SAY "stuff", MOST OTHERS THINK ITS SOMEHOW "dirty" OR "naughty"!! I MEAN-

     Ugggh, things like that really get on my nerves. Anyhow, I have a few hours everyday when I don't have much to actually do, so I might make an occasional post like this to keep this blog from collecting dust. Hmm, not sure what to talk about now...oh, I'll give a little story of what happened the other day.

     On the 14th of February, people and pokemon were giving each other candies and doing that really odd thing. The thing where the nuzzle each other and touch one another with their lips/beaks/whatever their mouth is. I was able to snatch some of the treats and scare some pokemon, but this event also happened last year, and I didn't know why at the time. I asked some of the ghosts at the Galvren Mansion (the place where I'm currently "haunting" in) what was the deal with all this. I don't think even half of them knew either. I couldn't even get a response out of Dusknoir; he just got all moody and wanted to be left alone. I asked Chandelure, and I finally got an answer out of her; to make the explanation short, it was started by some random Roman guy who lost his life, yet the day is about being with your mate and being sickeningly sweet with each other. I was glad when Chandelure agreed that the holiday was stupid and didn't make sense. I mean, how does someone's death mean romance?!? I don't know, I never understood that sort of emotion, not many of us do. At least most of the other ghosts agree with me. It was an interesting day.

   Hmm, that wasn't so bad for a first story. I'll have to start my activities soon though. Maybe if I do this again, I'll be able to put a webcam up! We'll have to wait and see. You all have an okay day! :D :D :D

  The massive ethereal vortex looked down calculatively, remaining silent for all of thirty seconds before the light pink glow surrounding their keystone dissipated. The large rock fell not far off from Spiritomb’s face with a dull thud. Thousand Maws twisted their wispy neck and slowly turned around their face, until they were finally ‘upright’.

"Ahhh, we see how it goes. Hmmm… What a sad, but curious turn of events. Say, do you think… they could have left without you?~ Nevertheless…"

The smoky tendrils coiled around the smaller Spiritomb as if a ring of fire, if only not because of a small gap formed right at the back. They were not trying to be intimidating. Yet.

"We shall aid you in the search for your ‘partners’. Hundreds of eyes together will search better than just one hundred eight by themselves, yes~?"

"As for what to call us…" A dry chuckle. “Do not worry about that. We go by no name, so you are free to call us as you want. So, where were those ghosts last seen…?”

[askghosttypes]

"I mean, they've left me behind before, but not so far away from home, you know? I don't think they would be that cruel."

Spiritomb gave a grin at the other entity's accompaniment. "O-oh, that's great! Yes, I have to agree, not much can be hidden from our plethora of eyes. A ha..." 

The smaller Forbidden pokemon chuckled. "That's about the same reason why most of the ghost I live with are just called by their species' names. I'll do the same to you. I know we won't have any confusion at figuring out who we're talking about. A ghost thing, right Spiritomb?"

"But as for my friends, we were near the base of the mountain on the east side, a bit off from that old relic town. I've come up here to look for them, but maybe they made their way back to Golett's Chevrolet, or the "Low Rider" as Golett calls it. We should probably head back down. Are you going to take your keystone with you?" Spiritomb asked, glancing at the hunk of rock just a few feet away.

[the-tornworlders-deactivated201]

The large collection of spirits watched the smaller hivemind like a predator would, the green eye-shaped illusions of it’s ‘face’ narrowed in concentration.

"But as for you… hmmm, could the same be said?"

[askghosttypes]

Although the entity's face had a playful expression, its domineering presence was not lost on Spiritomb. The smaller entity's smile slightly drooped, but he kept his guard down and began replying. He was after all just meeting this pokemon; he didn't want it to end badly. Like it usually did.

"Sorry to say, but I don't come from around here, or from Sinnoh at all. I come from the town of Dickledick, but if we're talking about actual origins...think of places with lots of sand. I am over here around this mountain because I'm on a week long trip with some other ghosts."

"They weren't sure if I should come along, but they were okay with it once Dusclops vouched for me! We were around here picking some berries because, well, we had nothing better to do at the time. They told me to go find some Colbur berries, but when I returned after a failed search, they were gone."

Spiritomb paused for a moment after saying those last words, but promptly brought himself back to focus on the fellow Spiritomb. 

"I wonder if they're still around. I should go back and look for them. Do you want to search with me, if you're not busy right now? I would like to have some company while I'm exploring the area. Oh yeah, I'm known just as Spiritomb. What are you called?"

[askghosttypes]

Gengar: "You were underground for five hours."

Dusclops: "Ah, I figured as such."

Gengar: "Speak for yourself bro. Without you hanging out in the mansion, it felt like 4 months."
