Haunter Halloween

This is a big chapter... Ah well...more to read, right? I know I said two updates, but I combined them into one big one! Yeah...I\'m lazy... >.>;; Anyway...I don\'t own Pokemon...blah blah blah... You know the rest...

Warnings:

Electric mouse gibberish. No, I\'m serious...

The trio were welcomed by Nurse Joi. \"All set?\" Satoshi nodded happily as they climbed aboard the bus. Satoshi picked his spot near the window and Takeshi sat next to him. Kasumi fumed in the aisle.

\"Gee, thanks. You guys are real gentlemen.\" The girl stomped her foot and turned to find a seat for herself. The only seat not taken was next to the world\'s worst travel partner. He took up most of the seat, and was dusted with crumbs of snacks he probably smuggled aboard. She turned back with desperate eyes, but the boys were laughing at a joke they just shared between them. Deflated and defeated, she slowly headed towards the open seat and sat down slowly.

\"Pretty...gurl...\" The man next to Kasumi murmured and reached a stubby grease covered hand out to touch her.

\"Bacf, cf, creep!!\" The girl yelled and everyone turned to look scornfully at her. \"What??\" She yelled at them and they all turned back around, except her friends who were still staring at her.

\"Kasumi...\" Satoshi shook his head slowly and turned back, almost...ashamed of her behaviour.

\"You should appologize. You might\'ve hurt his feelings, Kasumi.\" Takeshi gave her a glare from behind his closed eyes, then turned back, shaking his head. \"I don\'t know what\'s wrong with her, Satoshi.\"

Kasumi eyed the rather obese man sitting next to her and sighed. \"Look, I\'m sorry...\" She whispered, her arms wrapping a little tighter around Togepi.

\"Heh. Heh... Pretty gurlfriend...\" The grease covered hand is produced from folds of fat again and wrapped around her shoulders to pull her tighter.

\"Eeewww!\" Poor Kasumi squeeled unhappily as the busses drove off down the road.

From the trees, another dark shadow smirked and produced a cell phone. It held it up and Professor Ookido\'s voice was heard.

\"Good work.\" The cell was closed and the shadow slipped away with a triumphant smile.

The sound of brakes squeeling woke Satoshi from his nap and nearly threw Pikachu to the floor. Takeshi saw this and placed his hand quickly on the small mouse.

\"Pikaaaah.\" Sparks shot from the small electric mouse\'s cheeks in annoyance.

\"What happened?\" Satoshi asked, confused and Takeshi nodded towards the front of the bus.

\"Tauros...hundreds of them are crossing the road.\" The breeder explained and Satoshi turned his wide eyes back towards the crossing herd.

\"Pi-Pikapi.\" Pikachu\'s ear twitched and she turned and growled out the window. \"Piiii...\"

Satoshi saw this and blinked down at his Pokemon. \"What\'s wrong, Pikachu?\"

A figure emerged from the bushes to smile evilly at the busses. He wore a top hat, a fine coat with tails, and matching slacks and polished shoes. Before he was noticed, he ducked back into the woods. Pikachu saw him, though, and squeeled in terror.

\"Pi-Pi-Pipikachu! Pikapi! Chu-pika pi-pi-pikachu!\" The mouse stuttered over and over, pointing out the window.

\"What did she say, Satoshi?\" Takeshi looked completely confused. Satoshi looked out the window, then back at his pokemon.

\"I don\'t see anything, Pikachu. Maybe you were imagining it.\" The trainer laughed lightly, trying to calm the Pikachu down.

\"PIKAAAH!\" The mouse jumped off of his lap and lunged towards the open window. Satoshi was dumbfounded for a moment then jumped up and headed for the exit at the back of the bus.

\"Pikachu!\" He yelled as he ran after the mouse.

\"Satoshi!\" Came a pair of voices he knew was his friends as they chased after him.

He chased the little mouse Pokemon through the brush, only stopping when she does. \"Gotcha!\" Then he stopped and looked at a small device that was running, but wasn\'t doing anything. Pikachu squeeled and held her ears with her small paws. Satoshi blinked down at her.

\"Pikachu?\" Then he glared at the machine. He rushed over and looked it over.

\"Satoshi!\" Takeshi yelled and stopped when Kasumi stopped. Togepi was holding her ears and crying her eyes out. \"What\'s wrong with Togepi?\"

\"I don\'t know... You go on ahead...\" Kasumi rocked the baby pokemon slowly and Takeshi nodded before rushing into the brush. \"Don\'t cry, Togepi...\"

\"Satoshi?!\" Takeshi yelled and waited for an answer over the pounding of the stampeeding Tauros.

\"Takeshi! Over here!\" Satoshi\'s voice was close by and before he knew it, he was on the similar scene. Takeshi stared at Pikachu who was squeeling painfully and holding her ears, and Satoshi was looking some mechanical device over.

Finally, Satoshi found the off switch and switched the thing off. The thunder of the stampede slowly died and faded all together. Pikachu opened her eyes and released her ears. A few chirps and she jumped up into her trainer\'s arms who gave her a hug.

\"Alright, Pikachu!\" Satoshi held the device in his hands and Takeshi scratched the back of his head.

\"I 't k't know how you knew, but thanks...Pikachu.\" Takeshi smiled and scritched Pikachu\'s ear as she settled on Satoshi\'s shoulder.

\"Satoshi? Takeshi?\" Kasumi appeared from the bushes and smiled slightly.

\"Is Togepi okay?\" Takeshi looked concerned and Kasumi nodded.

\"Whatever it was, it was only affecting the Pokemon.\" She supplied and they both nodded.

\"We better get back to the busses.\" Takeshi reminded.

\"Pikachu...\" Satoshi smiled to his Pokemon who nodded and took off. \"Last one there\'s a rotten egg!\" And he dashed after her.

\"Oh no you don\'t!\" Takeshi chuckled and chased after Satoshi.

\"You guys! Don\'t leave me!\" Kasumi squeeled then took off after the both of them.
