"Peck!" Phaise held the pokedex open in her hand, but she wasn't actually using it. It was more of a security blanket against a sudden brain blank, since Natty only knew three moves. Even Phaise could memorize those quickly.
Natty truly did hate being licked. Even if it was a ghost, it got her feathers are slimy and messed up. And if Phaise didn't know the danger of the attack, the natu did know that it was possible to be paralyzed by the attack. Not a nice thought. Still, she did follow Phaise's instructions, taking advantage of the dropped guard to deliver one of her more powerful peck attacks. If it would just it. She seemed to have gotten the slime all across her eyes, making it hard to open her eyelids more than a crack at the moment.

The tiny yellow beak of the natu cut through the gases surrounding the ghost. She gave a forlorn cry as pain shivered its way through her. This was too much. Her body thinned and shrank, becoming a wisp of purple, and then nothing at all.
Up by the ceiling a ball of blue flames bobbed along, looking innocent and serene, before descending to Phaise's level. A large pair of eyes opened, and the flames shrunk, their pearly glow leaving behind a deep purple ball of another body.
<Hullo. What's going on?>
Phaise's pokedex beeped.
[You have defeated a level 6 gastly] [Your natu gained one levels] [Your natu is now level 8]

Natty relaxed, relieved the battle was over. Now Phaise could capture it and they could go relax somewhere for a little bit and Natty could take a nap. Only, neither the natu nor Phaise had thought out two things. One, neither of them had expected any other pokemon to appear to bother them. And two...
"Um. Natty? How do you throw a pokeball at a gastly?" This, of course, took place after a squeal and some panicked breathing before Phaise realized that the second pokemon was not attacking but asking a question. And, unlike the first time, Phaise was quite close to the door and the exit of the room. "Oh um. Hi. Uh. It was a battle? Um. Do you, uh...I don't know if you'd answer, but uh...How do you capture a gastly if you don't know where it went?"

<Ahhh. Trainer,> the gastly bobbed its body up and down, as if this explained everything. <You don't. That's the answer, I mean. If the gastly has disappeared, you don't capture it.>
He zoomed around Phaise's body and bobbed upside down in front of Natty. <Is it wise to have a psychic here? We are ghosts.>

Phaise sighed. That wasn't really fair. She'd been so close...Maybe Phaise would give up with the gastly idea now. "Well...She's my only pokemon. And well...She didn't think any of the other pokemon here were really quite good enough..."
Natty was ignoring them all, eyeing her pokeball specutativly. She could return herself and sleep, or she could stay out here and sleep. Either way she was going to sleep, it was just a matter of deciding which one. It was the prospect of Phaise freaking out and shooting her out of the pokeball half-asleep that decided her. If she slept out here she could probably ignore it all, and so she settled down for a little nap.
"I don't guess it really matters now though...How am I supposed to catch one of you if you disappear?" It suddenly struck her as odd that she had freaked out for the first two gastly and was perfectly calm for this one. It was probably frustration though, and the only way she really showed it was by not freaking out when she normally would have.

The gastly stopped staring at Natty, and then switched his eyes to the part of his body facing Phaise. <Well we don't all disappear. Some of us don't want to go where we go, and others are in too much pain to do it. If you get knocked out by an attack, it's not always easy to push through. You know?>

Phaise shuddered at the gastly's ability to move his eyes wherever he wanted, but was polite enough not to mention it. "Uh. No, I don't know. Must be something a ghost only can understand." Frowning, she cautiously took her gaze off of the wild pokemon to look at her natu, trying very hard to think rationally. Or rather, to get over the possible consequences of ignoring Natty's wish and just skipping the gastly. She could probably take on the first gym with just the small bird, and then a larger selection of pokemon would open up. "Do...Do you think Natty would get upset if I just gave up on the whole gastly idea? I don't think I want to battle too many more of you guys, especially if you might just disappear anyways."

<Sheeeee,> the gastly drew out the word as he examined the bird pokemon, <looks as though she's alseep. So she might not care. But it's not nice to do things to people while they're asleep. Definitely unsporting. So she might get angry at you. For ignoring her. While she was asleep.>
He tacked on amendments and explanations to the sentence, before deciding that he had said enough. <Well, I say it's probably not a good idea. Because it's not nice. But if you want when you battle me, I won't disappear. If you want to battle. Of course.>

Phaise got very confused with the explanations of the sentence and in the end only really understood that he said it wasn't a good idea because it wasn't nice. And that he wouldn't disappear. She didn't mind him, really. He wasn't as frightening as the others had been now that she thought about it, even if he did talk a lot and not very clearly. "Well...I don't want to make her upset..." Frowning she chewed on her bottom lip before nodding. "Okay. Then we'll battle you, but no one else! So...Well, I guess I hope Natty wins." Walking over to her pokemon she poked the bird gently, "Natty? Wake up..."
She got a snore. So she tried again. Harder. And accidentally knocked the light bird over.
<Wha? Hey!>
"We're going to battle again. I'm sorry!"

The gastly rotated upside down, his blue gas transforming to flames and back while he played with an illusion for fun. One plume of gas was used to make a pearly hand and it waved at Natty in a rather disconcerting manner, as his eyes appeared to be upside down, while his illusory hand was right side up.
<Hello. It's me. I'm your opponent. That is. Obviously. Hello.>
