[/font][/b][/i]" She called out as she backed away from the pillar. Ridley and Amma caught up with her as Delphine started to back track. "What?" Ridley asked, putting a hand on her hip. Before Jessica could explain, Delphine rounded the corner, and caught a glimpse of herself in the mirrored walls on the far end of the cave. Her reflection was shrouded in shadows, as her muzzle was wrinkled angrily, and her maws twisted up into a distorted grin. Her eye widened as she waved her stick past the group and screamed. "That's not me!" she shrieked, forcing the three ladies to turn and look behind them, only to see Del's panicked reflection. "Okay, what's your problem?" Ridley snapped, clearly annoyed that they were starting to see things, which was unnerving Ridley. "Nothing, there's something in here with us" Jessica spoke as she moved closer to Delphine. Ridley was about to ask when a eerie cackle was heard. The four moved closer together as they searched for the location of the sinister laugh. Suddenly their shadows began to twist and warp out form under them, feeling as if there was a hair moving across their person, something gentle being pulled off of their person. Ridley gasped as she thought back to the Gengar back in the attic of Raphiel's ball. The Gengar paralyzed the entire attic by taking control of their shadows. It was like and icy grip that ran up her leg. Ridley jumped in panic, afraid she wouldn't be able to get away if need be, but found herself free as her shadow, and her Pokemon's were sucked away and whipped across the shiny floors and pooled in one area. It lifted from the ground and began to take shape. It was a ghastly Haunter... Only it's face wasn't normal... It was wicked and just exuded evil. Ridley took a step back as Amma moved forward in front of the group, pulling out a talisman. "Begone you evil demon." Amma cursed, as the ghost hissed and moaned unnaturally at the command. The haunter twitched and flickered in the air as it fought against what ever power the talisman held. The Haunter twisted for a moment before immediately snapping back to where it was, leering at the voodoo ghost. A chill went down Ridley's spine as she watched the ghostly stand off. The blonde moved over to her Pokemon, holding on to them as she watched with wide eyes. Ridley had never known the Ghost to be unmoving, stern. Amma wasn't afraid of anything. But this Haunter was just as unmoving. The Haunter smiled and blinked slowly as a flash of red light filled the cave, letting out Morticia, Marilyn, Chanel, and Evanora. The four looked around confused at their clumsy release. "What did you do now?" Marilyn asked with a roll of her eyes, looking at the group. Jessica held up a shaky hand and pointed behind the at the Haunter. The group turned back to look at the more then amused demon. Marilyn and Chanel frantically turned around and sprinted towards the group, the fighting type stood with Jessica and Del, while Chanel stood behind them. Morticia slowly backed away from the ghost and stood with Ridley rather then the other four huddling for protection. "I haven't seen a being like this in ages..." Morticia commented, though amusement and interest was void in her voice, like it usually was with her mentions of her past. Evanora backed up until she was standing with Amma, she was hunched over still, but she held her staff pointed at the ghost.

The demon watched, cackling as it did so, seeing the group huddle together, and their poor attempts and defense. Amma pulled out another trinket and spat out a few words in another language as it seemed a wave hit the demon, but it quickly recovered and glared at the ghost. It hissed at her, and let out a gruesome snarl as it flicked one of it's hands, and Amma was sent backwards, as something drug her back through the air and into the mirror on the far wall, trapping her. Ridley, Chanel, Delphine, and Jessica began to shriek and scream, as the Pokemon began to grab onto each other. This left Evanora on the front lines, though her confidence was fading as the old ragged gardevoir began to slowly retreat. Ridley moved forward, pulling herself free, standing in front of her panicking Pokemon, standing along side Evanora, as Morticia and Marilyn stood forward as well. If they stood up to Darkrai and his monster, then this demon should be no match for them, even without Vanessa's help. Marilyn always was the stand up for herself type, even at a clear disadvantage, and Morticia has never been afraid of ghosts or demons. "What do you want?" Ridley demanded. She was going to stand her ground, even if Amma was stuck in the reflection. They were going to fight. The ghost grinned even wider. It began to hiss again. "You." it spoke in a breathy and mangled voice. Ridley went cold as she heard the voice, as the area went silent. The girls held their breath as they stood up to the benevolent spirit. They could hear Amma blasting at the mirrored wall, as the spirit's face began to twist and elongate. "Stop this!" the elderly Gardevoir commanded but the ghost locked on Ridley. The seethed as it began to wail, and it's arms began to stretch out. It began to rocket forward, moving an a horrifying rate towards Ridley. Ridley, and her Pokemon began to scream and try to run, even Evanora. All but Morticia. The gothic florges turned as it blasted past her and disappeared into Ridley. The force knocked her clear off her boots, causing her to land flat on her back with a loud thud. Ridley laid still as Delphine ran for her trainer. Jessica grabbed onto Delphine as Evanora held out her staff to stop her. "Don't touch her." Morticia warned, her voice still smooth, but it wasn't calm. "She needs our help, We can't just wait and watch" Marilyn told her as she moved for Ridley. The fighting type nearly got to her before Evanora stopped her. "That's not Ridley" Evanora told her. Ridley's head began to turn towards Marilyn as she began to laugh. It was her voice laughing, but it was mangles with a raspy deep undertone... Her blonde hair fell from her face revealing a very contorted expression. All of her beautiful features were twisted into a wicked one as she grinned widely as the fighting type. Marilyn screamed at the sight and began to back away from what should be her trainer. She had never seen anything like this before. Ridley began to scream and writhe on the floor, thrashing back and forth. The screams were mangled and filled with pain as her face began to turn red, and her eyes were black. She looked strained as she seemed to be fighting the spirit from within her. The blonde began to claw at her throat as she began kicking at the ground. Ridley slid backwards across the floor, scattering the Pokemon that were huddled together in fear, as Ridley spun around and slammed into one of the pillars. The shadow was ejected from the human as it turned to face the Pokemon. Chanel shrieked and ran behind Morticia, followed by Marilyn, as Delphine and Jessica took off running down the path, Del screaming the whole way. The demon turned and picked out the screaming fox as it went after her. Del was knocked forward as the demon blasted past the Jynx. Del began to writhe on the floor just as Ridley did, as Jessica moved to her side. "Del, you are strong. You can fight this!" She told her friend. She continued to seize until she fell limp, and seemingly unconscious. "Del?" Jessica spoke, hopping she defeated the demon. Delphine's eyes snapped open, solid black, as her maw snarled wildly. "She's not here anymore." The mangled voice shouted causing Jessica to recoil. The fox turned her stick on Jessica and blasted her backwards before she started to seize again. A fit of whimpers and whines escaped Del's body as she began to flail and roll across the floors Before her head turned unnaturally to face the jynx. Her mouth opened as the shadow exited her mouth and began to fly at Jessica. The jynx's eyes widened in fear, as her wavy hair began to stand up as she began to scream in fear. Her fear of possession was deep rooted as she was before. The sequined Jynx flailed as she fought the ghost. Her body sliding back and forth across the smooth floor. The four remaining Pokemon watched in horror as Jessica lifted from the ground as if she was being hung by an unforeseen force, as she swing and fought to save herself. She suddenly fell to the ground limp as the demonic haunter lifted from her as well. It seemed to be looking for the right body, or maybe testing them all first... It laid eyes on the four, and began to levitate at them as it did Ridley, targeting Morticia. The Florges remained standing, but she stumbled as she thrashed back and forth. The flower seemed to lose the battle as she whirled around, as if she were a puppet on a string and cleared at the two who were hiding behind her. Chanel screamed and shoved at Marilyn and took off running. Marilyn didn't run, She leapt in the air and jump kicked at the flower. Her powerful kick made contact but the flower didn't move. The mienshao fell against the floor with a grunt. The Flower leaned down and grabbed onto the weasle's arm, and tail before lifting her up with ease. She turned and flung the Pokemon into a near by wall. It was only then when Morticia began to groan and gargle. She wilted backwards as she began to flail just as the others. Her large flowered head turned sideways as the shadow vomited out of Morticia's mouth and went straight for the Fighting type. Marilyn was no match for the ghost as she began to contort and seize. Evanora took this time to retreat and start trying to shatter the mirrored all that held Amma in. She was using her staff to beat at the wall, but was barely leaving a scratch. Only went it fell silent did she turn back to see Marilyn standing behind her. Her face contorted like the rest. Evanora yelled as she let out one blast with a 'Bah!' as one last attempt to free the ghost, but the demon had left Marilyn to fall unconscious as took over the old witch. The Gardevoir stumbled back and forth as she tried to cast out the demon, but she was no match as she dropped her staff and her old wrinkled face took on the demon's. The Gardevoir flew threw the air as if a magnet was pulling her, as she hunted down the final Pokemon. "Get away from me you gross old swamp gas from hell!" Chanel screamed as she ran through the cave. The tunnel looped around as it opened back up to the scene of the crime. Chanel stopped breathing heavy as she looked for who ever it was in now, but only saw the unconscious team in front of her. "You can keep the old hag! I'm to pretty to be a sacrifice!" She shouted, trying to bargain. She held her hands close to her chest as she looked around, and found nothing.... Maybe she was safe... No, in fact she wasn't. She heard a groan behind her. She slowly turned to look back. She saw Evanora... only it wasn't her. It's face was in place of hers as she groaned inhumanly as she powered for the fruit. She screamed and cried as she tried to run, but the demon shed the old witch and blasted the fruit queen. It took her off the ground slamming her into the nearest wall. It flung her back down to the ground as she seized against the floor. Amma could only watch as her team was taken out one by one. She was a strong woman to say the least, but she was almost in tears as she watched in horror. Suddenly it all stopped... and nothing bound her to the wall. The ghost tested it with her hand, and once she saw she could phase through it, she flew through the wall.

Elfana Aroway

Reflection Cave had to be the worst of the caves she had visited. The walk through the cave was eerily quiet. Walter regretted not Teleporting them but felt far too uncomfortable to bring the idea up. Elfana's gaze was fixed on her own reflection in the polished cavern walls. The cave served as a firm reminder that her hatred of humanity didn't stop at other people. There was nothing wrong with her physically. She was pretty by conventional standards. Physically attractive didn't make up for the rest of her. She was all too aware of the kind of person she was but she was unwilling to change it. Her problems were of her own design. Knowing this didn't make it so she couldn't hate what she saw in her reflection. Elfana was torn from her thoughts when her reflection was hidden behind a thick layer of ice. Haruka stared up at her from his spot in her arms, his head ed to the side. "I keep forgetting you're an Ice Type." She chuckled then gave the Vulpix a kiss on the top of his head. "I'm guessing you don't like this place much either?" He slowly nodded then turned his head in the direction he thought the exit was in. "Alright. Let's get moving then. We won't be coming back here." She followed Haruka's lead, keeping all of her attention on him now. Walter was Teleporting them past the next cave whether he liked it or not.

To be fair, he never visited the Reflection Cave. Despite it looking gorgeous, it was one of those places where people said that 'nasty children go if they misbehave'. At least that was what he heard when he was in primary school from some less pleasant teachers and children - and it was mostly directed at his brother. Maybe that was why he wasn't looking forward to go through it. Thankfully he wasn't going alone, and for additional help Fabian send out his Kadabra - with advanced Psychic powers, they could navigate the cave easier.
Still, the place was truly stunning. True to its name, they could see their reflections in the walls and crystals, but without a Psychic Pokemon it would be painfully hard to navigate - Vale had really hard time distinguishing what was a wall, what was just a reflection and which way should they be going. Vale was torn between staying close to his brother and watching their surroundings in pure awe - and, well, looking at his reflection. Somehow he looked even better than in normal mirror. But he noticed the questioning and amused look on his brother's face, and decided to shift his focus on their 'mission' rather than admiring himself.

Uneasiness was settling in his stomach, as they were walking in near silence, only noise being their steps, breathing and distant sound of rain. Yes, rain, a countless amount of droplets. He couldn't tell if the water was dropping outside or inside the cave, but it could be just an echo.
However, the Kadabra seemed to be disturbed by something - his whiskers twitched and ears pointed forward. His next steps became slower, as if uncertain if they should continue - but he still had an order given by his trainer, and can't just leave them here, when they are so close. But it was a bit demotivating to see a seemingly strong Pokemon waver over something they hadn't even reached yet.. mayve that's also why the wild Pokemons living in the cave just hid away.
"We are almost here. The noise is getting louder." Fabian murmured, although he didn't sound happy or necessarily certain about that whole thing.
"The air smells a bit different too." he wrinkled his nose. The wetness was getting pretty clear in the air, clashing with the more stale smell of the cave. "Well, it did seemed like an entire town flooded and the rain kept falling. It's a matter of time until the water reaches the caves."
"That's why we should investigate, and get an insight." his twin commented. He wanted to argue with that, but decided to keep his tongue back this time - he wasn't in a mood for arguing and suddenly turning back because the situation just sounds worse than they thought. He knew it will be hard, but maybe they shouldn't judge the situation purely by the sound.
