Agatha and the twin sisters felt chills run down their spines as they saw the entire sky over lavender covered in a swirl of clouds that shaped into a human skull made out of esoteric ghostly energy.

The desolate streets of Lavender Town began filled with aberrations of beings who lived and died in this accursed land.

Agatha gritted her teeth as fury erupted from her heart when seeing Lavender tower.

Oh! How did she hate that place that took the one person she cared for?

Agatha and the twin sisters found that Lavender tower was under some kind of barrier which blocked out everything even to such a degree that the trio while seeing the barrier thought that it was just an empty patch of land for a few seconds.

No, No after all this time I finally got my chance at revenge. How can a mere barrier stop me ?!

Agatha thought in anger as she remembered a memory that haunted her to this day.

[ 83 years ago ]

[ Lavender Town - Ainsworth Family Mansion ]

A 7-year-old Agatha walked down the empty halls of the Ainsworth family mansion alongside her partner or as she liked to call him; a brother, William the Ghastly.

" William, Father has called upon me. Please don't try to light his hair on fire again."

" Kekeke !"

Ghastly outstretched his neck as he licked Agatha's face before phasing into her shadow.

" Come on, William you won't get me into trouble again."

Agatha sweated a little as she didn't get an answer but deep down she knew what the little troublemaker's answer was.

Oh, Mew, I am doomed.

....

Ethan Ainsworth could help but sigh in frustration as he received a letter from the branch family in Sinnoh.

They would take care of his little girl after his death.

" What do you think ?" Ethan asked as a white claw outstretched out and slapped him.

" Thanks, Haunter," Ethan replied as he gazed upon his partner, a giant alpha shiny haunter who smirk before passing a porn magazine to Ethan Ainsworth who coughed into his hand.

" Come on, Haunter, you know I don't do stuff like that," Ethan said while carefully sliding the porn mag into his drawer.

' Sure, you don't you pervert.' Haunter thought while rolling her eyes.

( ~ Knock ~ )

" May I come in, Father ?"

" The door is always open for my little girl."

( ~ Creek ~ )

Agatha opened the door and she found herself standing in the middle of her father's desolate room, with nothing more than a single desk, a wooden rocking chair, with four dimly glowing lanterns placed on four corners of the room, emanating soft light.

Unlike the rest of the world that enjoyed the power of electricity but with the ambient otherworldly energy pervading the castle had a negative interference with electricity, and thus, despite the changes in the world outside, the residents of the Ghost Tower—the number now reduced to a dozen, simply lived without it. Then again, with the ghosts saturating the castle, the entire atmosphere gave a slight chill. There was no breeze, just some filtered sunlight through the window panes, and the light chill, whose source could be deduced by any self-respecting trainer.

" Why have you called upon me, father ?"

" Awe, do I have to have a reason to call upon my beautiful daughter ?"

" Father ."

" Now I just miss the time when my little girl used to call me papa."

Agatha blushed in embarrassment as she said," P..Papa."

" Yes, my baby." Ethan Ainsworth had a grin on his face as he replied to his daughter.

" Why have you called upon me ?"

Ethan Ainsworth stood up as he outstretched his hand.

From within the shadows, a staff emerged with a Pokeball as its handle.

Ethan Ainsworth got on one knee as he presented the heirloom of the Ainsworth family to Agatha.

" Is... Isn't this .."

Agatha's hand shivered as she touched the staff.

" My little girl, I am happy to say that now this is yours."

" But am I ready ?"

" I wouldn't have given it to you if I didn't think you were ready."

Agatha hugged the staff that was bigger than her as if her life depended on it.

Agatha touched the staff as she looked at the intricate symbols carved into the staff with wonder.

" Papa, what are these symbols ?"

" ( ~ Chuckle ~ ) You don't have to play the cute card. I was going to tell you anyway."

Ethan Ainsworth pointed at the symbols and said," This is the mark left behind by all those that wielded the staff in battle."

" Where is your symbol ?"

" Unfortunately I haven't wielded the staff in battle so I don't have a symbol."

" Don't worry papa I'll wield it in battle and I'll carve a symbol into it for you and me."

Rubbing his daughter's hair, Ethan Ainsworth tried to hide the pain he was currently feeling under the mask of a smile.

" I am looking forward to it but Agatha I am going to go out so don't misbehave while I am gone and please don't let William burn down the house."

" When will you come back."

" .... "

" Papa ?"

" Sorry, but I can't say since the trip is quite long."

" Ok, but be safe."

" Haha, you know me."

" That's why I said it."

" You're too smart for your good and remember do not let William cause any trouble, promise."

Ethan Ainsworth outstretched his pink while Agatha reciprocated the gesture.

" I promise."

" That's my girl."

Ethan Ainsworth hugged his daughter so she couldn't see the tears running down his face. He was marching forward toward his death just like all the previous family heads.

' I am sorry, Agatha for leaving you alone but I need to reseal that thing before it gets out. I am sorry I wasn't able to see you grow up, find love, and walk you down the aisle to that bastard who doesn't deserve you.'

.....

A flash of light covered the sky that had enveloped Lavender Town in a blanket of black clouds.

( ~ 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 ~ )

( ~ 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗠 ~ )

( ~ 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗽 ~ )

As if the Gods were bellowing out in anger, the thunderclap could be heard from miles away.

( ~ 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝗵 ~ )

The winds were strong enough to cause at least light damage to trees as the flora of the land danced to the tunes of the wind.

( ~ 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 ~ )

The storms took the very land of the mountains into an onward night, regardless of neither time or sun, yet came the booming exclamations of heaven and lightning to restart the heart.

Inside the Ainsworth family mansion, the sobs of a girl who got the news about the death of her father were drowned out by the reverberating thunder.

( ~ Sobs ~ )

" Why ?"

" Why ?"

" Why ?"

William stared in sadness at her sister's condition. She had stopped eating ever since that horrible news came and he was getting more and more worried.

Ethan Ainsworth, the 31rst head of the Ainsworth family had died to reseal the great evil that has plagued the Ainsworth family for generations.

( ~ Rwrr ~ )

The ground in front of the elderly trio broke apart as the rotting corpses of man and pokemon emerged held together by strands of causality and malice.

The Army of corpses charged at the elderly trio but what they found in their path was an extremely furious Agatha Ainsworth.

Gritting her dentures so hard that blood burst out of her lips and gums, Agatha's fury couldn't be described in a word as she opened the Pokeball on her staff revealing a beautiful gemstone.

" William, Mega evolve!" Agatha shouted, raising her staff and crashing it into the ground. The gemstone immediately burst into orange light at the same time as the Gengarite burst into a light blue light, considerably brightening the dark misty terrain. Both stones launched bolts of colorful energies toward one another, which connected and changed into a dark purple energy that recoiled into Gengar which popped out of her shadows and engulfed him.

William started changing shape right before his trainer's eyes, his back spikes growing far larger and sharper and showing up around his arms and legs, which also grew. Gengar wailed out in agony from the overflow of energy surging through his body.

The dark energy exploded after about a minute, fully revealing Gengar's new form. Aside from the new, enlarged spikes, his face had changed into a darker shade of purple, which gradually changed into a red hue as it went down the ghost's body. His legs were still stubby, but his arms had grown considerably, in an almost comical way. As soon as the trainer observed that, however, Gengar's limbs sunk into the ground, leaving the body halfway visible.

The shadows twisted and turned into a cross that emerged in the middle of the battlefield.

A terrain of darkness converged into the cross as Mega Gengar's shadow tag ability took hold of the battlefield.

" Shadow Ball !"

William raised his hand into the air as the surrounding ghostly energy swirled into thousands of shadow balls all attacking the barrier surrounding Lavender Tower.

His attack tore apart the zombies like a hot knife through butter.
