[center][h2]Charlotte Carver[/h2] -[u]Stillwater - Docks[/u]-[/center] [hr] Charlotte had decided to get some sleep before submitting her initial assessments. She slept quite soundly, but she woke up a little early; the sun hadn’t even started rising yet. Or perhaps that was a result of the sleepy atmosphere of Stillwater? Whatever the case was, Charlotte wanted to get a little more field work in. Stillwater was a home for Ghost-types and Psychic-types as well; Pokémon with paranormal associations and powers were widely regarded as a canard, but she might as well investigate what conditions made such a place as Stillwater so ideal for ghosts. Usually, they were found in places such as cemeteries, like the Celestial Tower in Unova, or the Lavender Tower in Kanto. Charjabug wormed alongside Charlotte as she scanned the early morning for Ghost Pokémon. Since it was getting lighter, the nocturnal Pokémon would begin to fade away into their habitats. A couple of Hypnos and a pack of Drowzees yawned, having eaten their fill of dreams, before shuffling off to whatever caves they slept in. Charlotte would have to document that behavior later. Charlotte looked up to see a cloud of noxious Gastlys smother the morning. A few Haunters accompanied them on their pilgrimage to the darkness. Their ghostly hums mingled with the creaking of the floating docks. Charlotte made note of the pack behavior of the ghosts outside of the graveyard circumstances. "In the absence of masses of corpses, where do the ghosts live?" Charlotte mused to herself, writing that question down on her notes. Charjabug's eyes flashed, and it turned around, making an electrical whine. "What's up, Charjabug?" Charlotte asked, turning around, only to come face to face with a Haunter. The Haunter cackled and wiggled its fingers, its tongue hanging out. Startled, Charlotte threw her notepad at the Haunter. The Haunter caught it, made a silly face at Charlotte, and began to flee. "Crabrawler, go! Pursuit!" Charlotte ordered, tossing Crabrawler's Poké Ball. The purple coconut crab emerged with a flash, and scuttled hurriedly down the pier, climbing up the lanterns lighting the dock, and launching itself at the Haunter. Crabrawler raised one of its fists and punched Haunter as the ghost turned around to look. Haunter reeled back, but did not drop the notepad. Crabrawler landed neatly on the ground and continued chasing Haunter, with Charlotte and Charjabug close behind. "One more time, Crabrawler!" Charlotte called. Crabrawler veered off to the side as Haunter passed through the wall of a clapboard tackle shop, the notepad phasing through as well thanks to Haunter's ectoplasmic body. There were screams from within, and Charlotte could hear someone knock over a store display. Haunter emerged snickering from another side of the shop, only to get punched in the face by Crabrawler hanging from a sign. Haunter went splat against the wall and dropped the notepad. Crabrawler scuttled up and recovered the notepad, holding it in one of its huge claws. Crabrawler came back from around the tackle shop and held the notepad up to Charlotte. "Thanks, Crabrawler," Charlotte said, putting the notepad in her white bag. “Since this town has little to no electricity and therefore no lights connected to a grid, it looks like Ghosts are able to flourish quite well here. I suppose that gives them a bolder disposition when in contact with humans. Fascinating.” Crabrawler flexed its arms, boasting about how it punched a Haunter into a wall.

Caught a little bear causing some trouble in one of the shops,” she declared, holding up the Poké Ball containing Stufful. She nearly dropped Togepi, but Steenee’s nimble motions kept Togepi from landing on its rump. “Oops! Sorry, Steenee! Sorry, Togepi!” Juana put Stufful’s ball away. “Hmm.. maybe I should transfer a couple of Pokémon into the storage system. It’s getting hard to carry them all at once,” she mused, rubbing her chin. “Boxes are getting pretty high-tech nowadays, especially with the system that sends them to some kind of island paradise run by a bean farmer.” Juana shrugged. “So what have you all been up to?” [hr] [hider=Notes]-TP: HHG +1, post +1, sunrise + 3; total: 79 [hider=Inventory] -Poké Ball x4 -Great Ball x1 -Heal Ball x1 -Potion x2[/hider] [hider=Pokémon] -Steenee Lv. 33 -Corphish Lv. 12 -Skorupi Lv. 4 -Dewpider Lv. 6 -Togepi Lv. 6 (Sunrise +3) > Lv. 9 -Honedge Lv. 4 -Rotom-Heat Lv. 33 -Stufful Lv. 2 [/hider] -Interaction with [@Dusksong]'s Cillian and [@Silver Fox]'s Tora[/hider] [hr]
