As the little tadpole Pokemon reacted with annoyance to its actions, the Gastly just snickered with crooked delight, and as it went into some weird dance, it only snickered a little harder out of prolonged amusement. Either the fumes were playing havoc with its sensibilities or the Poliwag was annoyed at not being the center of attention over the human. Either way, the Gastly just snickered some more before looking up at its trainer.
Noticing his state, the Gastly stopped snickering for a second; the sounds of amusement quickly shifted into a groan, the crookedly delighted expression of the ghostly little glob of gas disappearing as it felt a twinge of pity for the human. It was happening again.
So, rising into the air, the Gastly let out a quick burst of foul-smelling gas to bring Charlie back to focus, before zooming right up to be on level with his head in a flash of sulphur as a long ectoplasmic tongue scraped across the boy's cheek.
Smelling the gas and feeling the slimy tongue leave a trail up his face, Charlie shuddered; but it was nothing new to him, and the minor sense of revulsion served to bring him back to focus.
His mind was still reeling a tad from what the girl had said to him before; but as she asked him another question (and tacked on another insult whilst she was at it), he only spared his partner a quick sideways glare (to which it responded with a grin) before gathering up his composure and replying with;
"I, uh- I was wondering if you, um- knewwhereaboutsintheforestwewere?", he started shakily, choosing to ignore the insult before continuing with a somewhat more confident, "I was looking for something- the Moss Rock!- and kind of got off the track."
Seeing Charlie restored to at least some semblance of conversational competence, the Gastly disappeared in another flash of sulphur- and within a few seconds, the hisses and snickers of the little ghost could be heard coming from just behind Bailey, Jess and Miu.
