" I think this Porygon you heard is just a rumor," Bill said while showing Yellow how to help a Dratini shed its skin.

" You are a pathetic host," Lucario commented.

" Pleasure as always to hear you speak, Lucario."

" Couldn't say the same."

While Lucario and Bill talked, Austin was deep in thought before he took a big gulp of his dark coffee.

Pikachu meanwhile backed away from his trainer and the horrible thing he was drinking.

How can anyone drink something so bitter?

" Hey, Pikachu."

" Pika ?" Pikachu looked at his trainer while tilting his head to the side.

" What's Fat, Slimy, and Drinks a lot of Coffee? Java the Hut."

Austin's joke went right over Pikachu's head who just responded by showing his tongue.

" Whatever," Austin said as took another sip while looking at the spectacle in front of him.

Dratini whined quietly at the intrusion, before settling quickly. He was uncomfortable, and his scales were bulging in places where the old skin had split. He wiggled around on the makeshift bed, before whining again.

Pichu jumped from Yellow's arms and landed beside her teammates, giving him a soothing growl. He moved to butt his head against her side gently and cooed again. Austin and Yellow couldn't stop the smile on their faces as Dratini tried to use Pichu's fur to shed her skin.

"Calm down, little one. I'm going to help you get out of that skin, alright?" Bill said.

It would take the better part of an hour, he guessed, to get her completely out of her old skin.

In the wild, Dratini rubbed up against rocks or other rough surfaces to start the process. It was fairly common for Dratini to have scars from their attempts to shed their skin. This little one had a few, but none that were noticeable.

Bill started at her nose, rubbing the dry skin lightly with his fingers to get a feel for how bad it was. With a wince, he realized that he would need a few tools.

Bill went back to his backpack and pulled out an empty bag, the moisturizer that he used earlier, and a small, semi-rough brush that he could use to help loosen the dead scales from the fresh ones.

It was a long job, but he stayed gentle, muttering to the skittish dragon whenever she started to get irritated. Thankfully, he seemed to like Pichu, and Chu-Chu liked him as well. By the time he reached his tail, the stitched-up places had been partially shed, leaving only scar tissue behind.

Dratini cooed happily when Bill finally put the brush away and wiggled happily against his new friend.

" Ash, you have a Dragonair right? Want me to show you how you can polish its scales ?"

" That would be appreciated."

" Even though your visits are short. They are always a treat for me." Bill said with a smile as he shook Austin's hand.

" Likewise and thanks for the grooming kit."

Austin said.

" Well, I have a lot of spare kits laying around."

Bill said as he patted Pikachu's head before the group said their goodbyes to Bill.

Seeing their backs getting smaller and smaller, Bill couldn't help but sigh in loneliness.

It was good to have company in this remote estate of his.

[ Vermilion Harbour - Midnight ]

North of Bill's Lighthouse, exists an old harbor that had been destroyed in the War by Team Cipher of the Orre's Region.

" Ash, what are we doing so late at night ?" Yellow said as she rubbed her eyes. She looked ready to fall asleep.

" Don't worry, you just have to hold this light for me."

Austin said as he sent out Dragonair and Magikarp into the water.

" Karp, Kar." Magikarp just came into a frenzy when he came into the cold water meanwhile Dragonair maintained its regal beauty in the water even though everyone could see that she was shivering.

" Dragonair," Dragonair called out as she dived in and out of the water splashing a little on Austin who didn't mind meanwhile yellow and Pikachu were a few feet away from Austin.

" Do you have some kind of perverted need to go into cold water ?"

Lucario asked as he saw Magikarp jump out of the water into the sand.

" No, I just need something in a cave under this harbor."

" Of course, it's in a cave."

Lucario said as he glanced at Magikarp.

" Why are you up here? You're a fish."

" Karp."

" It's cold."

" Karp."

" Go into the water or I will through you in."

" Karp."

Magikarp got scared of Lucario and yeeted itself back into the cold waters of Vermilion Harbour.

Austin placed the snorkel and jumped into the cold waters with Dragonair wrapping her tail around his waist meanwhile Lucario was clenching for dear life onto Magikarp's tail who was scared that the big bad guy would eat him.

Magikarp and Dragonair stopped when they saw a gang of Tentacool and Tentacruel blocking their path by sleep.

{ What now? }

{ Let me think }

{ Well think faster, I don't have some kind of magic device to help me breathe. }

{ Quit pressuring me. }

{ ..... }

{ I got it. }

Austin said as he sent out Clefable and Munna.

Clefable panicked at where he was and began to splash frantically but Munna's psychic waves calmed down the fairy type enough for Austin to command it to manipulate gravity to move some Tentacool and Tentacruel out of their way.

After carefully navigating through the sleeping gang, the group made it into the underground cave which had a see-through crystal ceiling.

Austin took out a camera before taking a few photographs of this amazing scene of the Vermilion Dome.

In the center of the dome, lay a rock pillar with a crown made of yellowish crystal. Embedded into the King's rock were a firestone, a water stone, a thunderstone, and a moonstone.

Austin looked confused at the King's rock as that was never mentioned in the Pokemon Manga when Yellow came to this place during her search for Red.

Austin just shrugged as if it didn't matter since he was here for the evolutionary stones.

Someone had offered 10,000 pokedollars for each stone on the Pokenet and Austin had jumped at that offer since he could buy top-of-the-line pokemon food for everyone for 3 months with that kind of money.

The reason he knew this wasn't a scam was that he had recognized the people who had run the AD from the anime.

{ Is this for me? } Munna innocently asked as she sat on Austin's head while pointing at the moonstone with her small stubby leg.

" Yes."

{ Yay! }

Munna said as she rushed to touch the Moonstone embedded into the King's rock.

A bright light engulfed the Vermilion Dome disturbing some of the gang of the Tentacool and Tentacruel.

The light died down revealing a rounded, bipedal Pokémon that had a tapir-like trunk. Its body was light purple, while its head was pale pink. It has oval, red eyes with three eyelashes and dark pink ovals on its forehead and cheeks. The tips of its four stubby limbs are dark pink. Dream Mist seeped out of the mark on its forehead.

" Musharna !"

Austin couldn't help but smile as sensed the feelings of ecstasy from Musharna.

{ Look I am so big. }

Musharna's telepathically voice called out to everyone in the entire cave.

{ Sorry, couldn't control the new psychic power }

" We need to work on that," Austin said while pointing Dexter at her.

" Musharna The Drowsing Pokémon. The dream mist coming from its forehead changes into many different colors depending on the dream that was eaten. This Musharna is Female and the Ability is Forewarn and Telepathy.

Currently, this Musharna knows Calm Mind, Defence Curl, Dream Eater, Future Sight, Hypnosis, Imprison, Magic Coat, Moonblast, Moonlight, Psybeam, Psychic, Psychic Terrain, Stored Power, Wonder Room, Yawn, Zen headbutt, Protect, Rest, Light Screen, Shadow Ball, Ally Switch, Reflect and Safeguard. The Age of this Musharna is Eleven Months "

[ Omake Paragraph ]

It is said that an individual – human or pokemon - licked by a Haunter will spend a variable period of time shaking while displaying bizarre changes in behavior, and then inevitably pass away. This is untrue, for a Haunter's tongue causes instant death. The misconception arises because it is only the mind which passes on. The body of the deceased remains animated, but it is the Haunter that controls it, and it shakes because no Haunter can perfectly control a body that is not it's own.

A Haunter's body is not a weak one that is capable of little more than floating aimlessly. Yes, it can phase through walls, but it not only can turn invisible, but it must also strain to remain visible. Movement is difficult to control, light painful, and they remember all too well their previous lives and strain for an escape. Some possess those who they had developed grudges against in life, and strive to ruin their reputation before death: others possess those they envied, hoping to live their lives even at the cost of killing those they looked up to. Many, however, possess random strangers, and most possess no one at all.

Few Haunters will stay in their new bodies for long. They will complete their grudges and turn to pity those they made suffer in the process of defaming their enemies, or they will find those who they envied did not live lives as great as they imagined. They will grow frustrated with the limited control they have over their victims' bodies and miss the freedom afforded by their status as a ghost. In time they will leave, their victims will die, and the Haunter will either return to their form with a renewed appreciation or allow their spirit to pass on from the world.
