When the girl in the distance didn't respond immediately, Charlie paused; had she heard him? It was pretty quiet around here; even with the rustling of the trees and bushes as wild Pokemon fretted about and fled from the invisible stench of the repel surrounding him, thirty meters should have been no obstacle to his voice. Nonetheless, it seemed he hadn't been heard; and so, desperate and undeterred, he moved in closer at a moderate pace, confident from the sound of crackling energy from behind him that the Gastly was following. 

Now at only fifteen meters, he could figure out why the girl hadn't heard him; she seemed to be with another girl, and talking to her about something. He didn't know exactly what; he made something out about a 'pain in the ass', which he didn't have the foggiest about cluing out. God knows he couldn't figure out half the stuff the girls he knew prattled on about; he had even less luck with this.

But anyway, as he approached the two girls, he gathered his composure up and asked them again ("You couldn't help me out, could you?") as he approached and came within ten meters of them-

"Jeez, what could you want from three girls alone in a forest, huh?"

Only for [b]that[/b] to fly out from the other girl's mouth and smack him in the face like a metaphorical boot to the head. 

He paused. Froze. Tried to comprehend what the girl had just insinuated. 
And even as the little blue tadpole- he guessed a Poliwag, by the distinctive marking upon its stomach- came bounding towards him, he only drew a blank as-

"I... what?" He asked, failing to sound even a little reserved as a bit of anxiety crept through into his tone and some of the colour drained from his face. In his state of mental paralysis, he barely noticed the other girl join the other two and offhandedly refer to him as a 'weenie'.

Meanwhile, as the little blue tadpole bounded towards Charlie, there was a perceivable crackle behind it as a slight stench began to creep out into the surrounding air. 
As something appeared behind it.
"Gasssss," Gastly hissed, as it eyed the little tadpole in amusement, oblivious to its trainer's state of mental paralysis.
