--------------------------------------------------------------------

Darkness can instill fear within the human heart like nothing else. It's a primal reaction, an instinct that reminds us of our vulnerability in the face of the unknown. And as a group led by the enigmatic Gengar ventured deeper into the jungle, that fear became palpable and all too real.

As they journeyed deeper into the heart of the jungle, a gradual but ominous change began to take hold. The once-thriving population of Wild Pokémon began to thin out, slowly and steadily. It was as if they were venturing into the territory of a powerful Pokémon, an unspoken dominion ruled by a single 'king,' where any intruder was deemed a threat. The realization that they might be treading on the very turf of this formidable creature left an unsettling sensation lingering in the air.

Hu Yang, a courageous member of their expedition, couldn't help but voice his concerns. "Are we there yet?" he asked, a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Gengar, their leader and guide in this treacherous journey, scanned the surroundings with an intensity that sent shivers down their spines. "Not quite," he replied solemnly. "There's something more powerful than me interfering with our progress. It's as if judgment itself looms in the shadows."

Before Gengar could elaborate further, an Officer Jenny at the head of the group cried out in alarm, "That tree just moved!" The group instinctively turned their attention to the source of her distress.

Amidst the darkness of the dense forest, another teacher's voice rang out in fear, "Not good, two teachers are missing!" It was a chilling realization, and the tension in the air escalated.

In an instant, sharp and eerie laughter erupted from the shadowy depths of the forest, sending shivers down their spines. It was as though malevolent spirits lurked, unseen but undeniably present. The flashlights clutched tightly in their hands flickered and died, plunging the group into an impenetrable darkness.

The sudden blackout left them disoriented, and their hearts raced. In the pitch-black abyss, they could feel the fear of the unknown clawing at their minds. Clinging to his Poké Ball, Hu Yang's grip tightened, his knuckles turning white.

A voice, presumably Officer Jenny's, broke through the overwhelming darkness, "Everyone, hold the hand of the person next to you, and do not let go!" Her voice sounded both distant and nearby, an unsettling paradox that sent shivers down their spines.

In the ensuing panic, Hu Yang reached out for the hand of the person beside him. But the moment their hands connected, a profound chill coursed through his being. This hand was not the hand of a living person; it was a frigid appendage from another realm.

Suddenly, he was yanked into an abyss, the sensation of falling consuming him. In the abyss, he plummeted through the void, the fear gripping his heart intensifying with each passing moment.

Amid the terrifying descent, dim-blue candles flickered to life, each one casting an eerie glow in the inky darkness. The spectral, flickering lights revealed a haunting sight - a multitude of Ghost-Type Pokémon surrounded him.

Litwick, Chandelure, Shuppet, Haunter - they floated in the abyss, their spectral forms lending an otherworldly and sinister atmosphere to the space. To Hu Yang, it was as if he had stepped into a realm of phantoms and lost souls.

The chilling realization washed over him - these creatures were not what they seemed. Litwick, in particular, were notorious for their deceptive nature. They feigned guidance for lost souls, pretending to light the way to safety while silently sapping the life energy from their victims. This wasn't mere folklore; it was a malevolent reality, a treacherous path leading to an inevitable demise.

In the surreal glow of the dim-blue candles, the flames of the Litwick burned more intensely, a harbinger of their malevolence. Hu Yang knew he had to act fast. With resolute determination, he reached for the Poké Balls of his trusted companions, Cramorant and Roselia.

As he summoned them into the eerie void, Cramorant emerged with its characteristic goofy expression. It was a source of comic relief in normal circumstances, but now it represented a beacon of hope, a stalwart guardian. Roselia, sensing the imminent danger, assumed a combat stance, ready to protect her trainer at any cost.

Hu Yang attempted a final plea, "I don't bear ill will. I only want to free the children you've captured." His words hung in the spectral air, but the response was a chorus of eerie laughter, a cold breath grazing the nape of his neck.

In this harrowing moment, he knew there was no room for negotiation. Roselia's magical attack was swift and precise, unleashing sharp and piercing Leaf Blades upon the Litwick. They struck true, causing one of the Litwick to sway, but it refused to yield. The others continued to smile wickedly, undeterred by the onslaught.

From the darkness surrounding them, a barrage of Shadow Balls rained upon Roselia. She valiantly endured the onslaught, but the unrelenting assault soon rendered her incapacitated. The odds were dire, and Hu Yang's heart raced. The ancient spirits surrounding him exuded an overwhelming aura. Even with Roselia's recent evolution, they were no match for these ancient specters.

Hu Yang cursed their perilous situation, his thoughts racing. Did Cramorant only trigger its protective mechanism when faced with life-threatening danger? There was no time for second-guessing. He took a deep breath and issued a command, his voice filled with unwavering determination.

"Cramorant!"

Without hesitation, Cramorant's demeanor shifted from goofy to stern, activating its Bodyguard mode. An aura of immense power enveloped the bird Pokémon, and golden lines pulsated with fiery energy across its body, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. The transformation resembled the legendary Pokémon Groudon during Primal Reversion.

Then, Cramorant channeled its tremendous energy into the ground, a seismic rumble accompanying its actions. Energy gathered below, preparing for a cataclysmic release. From the very earth they stood upon, enormous scorching blades burst forth, their sheer magnitude extending to cover a vast expanse.

The sight was both spectacular and terrifying. Countless fiery swords slashed upwards from the depths, cleaving through the spectral forms of the Litwick. Those caught in the merciless onslaught were consumed by molten lava and scarlet energy, their eerie laughter extinguished in explosive bursts of light.

The remaining Ghost-Type Pokémon scattered in fear and panic, unable to withstand the onslaught of Cramorant's devastating attack. The infernal blades not only sundered their ethereal forms but also dispelled the illusions they cast, revealing the harsh reality beneath.

Deep within the enigmatic haunted mansion, a slumbering presence stirred, its senses attuned to the unfolding commotion in the forest. It awakened, its eyes snapping open. With a piercing gaze, it directed its attention toward the source of the disturbance, recognizing that something extraordinary had occurred.
