Over the video phone, Dernam did the same with Staryu. "Click." The sreen turned blue. An silouhette of a Staryu and Gastly appeared, and floated across the screen. The crossed past each other, pause a moment, then continued on their merry way. A click later, Dernam's Pokéball falls back down, as does Splash, the trade complete. Dernam picks up his new Pokémon, a Gastly, Ghost Poison tpye, that prolly knows Lick, Confuse Ray, and Night Shade, takes X2 damage from Psychic and Ground..... he did his homework. "Might as well let him out......." POP! The ball opens, and a cloud of gas, plus 2 eyes and a mouth appears. "Gastly?" the gastly looked him over, then rolled his eyes. "Hmmmm, a little rebellious, are we? Take a look at 6 here." He picked up 6, still chewing on the phone book, and showed the Cascade Badge. Gastly looked over the blue teardrop bauble, and shook his head in agreement. Cascade helps make some low level Pokémon obey, Dernam heard, and it seems correct. "I'll call you.... Shadow." "Stly!" gastly said in it's deep voice, in agreement of the befitting name he has been given. "Welcome to the club. Now...... to an ATR recruiting office.." Done on this.
