the ghosts are numerous and overwhelming. they do not take turn. freya and her pokemon are living, warm bodies, the perfect meal for the haunters and gengars that descend upon them. they have no qualms with using their superior numbers against her. it's not a fair battle. no, this is a feast. those that take too long will find themselves reserved to the scraps. most start to phase into the room from the walls and ceiling but a particular gengar materializes from the floor beneath them, manifesting from freya's shadow as it looks to catch them by surprise and leave them ASTONISHED.
what happens next is instantaneous and invisible. the displacement of movement from another is felt - two small, lithe creatures, but indiscernible to the naked eye. only when their SHADOW PUNCH lands does the pokemon break from their CAMOUFLAGE as their COLOR CHANGE reverts to a murky purple. the gengar slinks back, pushed away, left dazed as it stumbles back midair. the kecleons land on the ceiling, the suction pads on their fingers allowing them to hang upside down as their CAMOUFLAGE sets in and they resume with blending in with the scenery. it's a bit easier to discern them now that she knows they're there. the ghost too, make note to address this issue but compared to the other pokemon in the room, dealing with what they can't see prove more difficult. it's easier to attack the dragonair instead.
--- downstairs, a mimikyu is the next to be summoned. it's COPYCAT of bronzong's IMPRISON is enough to further lock down the ghost from slithering around with SHADOW SNEAK or landing a surprise blow with a FEINT ATTACK. however, fernando has to verbally command the pokemon to refrain from TAUNTING the ghosts, a move it's used to performing on summon. in this instance, their goal is to cause as little collateral damage as possible so forcing the pokemon to attack is something he actively tries to avoid.
"ROAR again. drive them all outside."
this time the tyrunt howls, running through the first floor clamoring loud enough to INTIMIDATE the pokemon into fleeing. the bronzong is unfazed, holding it's position as the two purple circle etchings on its body start to glow. like most of fernando's core team, its purpose has always been singular. for now, it waits, anticipating what's to come as it peers into the outcome of the FUTURE SIGHT.
having the ghost congregate outside is the plan but keeping them there is something else. once the foundation of his formation is laid down inside, fernando returns outside, tossing another pokeball as he sets up his conduit. the wobbuffet that's let out, like the rest of his core team, lets out it's signature move: SAFEGUARD. so long as the wobbuffet stands, the rest of the ghosts will be bound to a small area around it, chained by SHADOW TAG that binds them to the psychic pokemon.
the stage is set and fernando doesn't spare the second floor a glance. he's confident that freya can handle herself. and, even if she can't, he's long set two of his most trusted aides to keep her safe.
