"I'll go first," Shiranui answered before proceeding to his side of the battlefield.
"This battle will be a three-on-three single battle with no time limit," stated Morty, "Only you can switch Pokémon. I choose Gastly!"
"Gastly, the Gas Pokémon. Its body is made of gas. Despite lacking substance, it can envelop an opponent of any size and cause suffocation."
"Kyouchou, I choose you!" Shiranui sent his Murkrow out and the battle was on.
"A Murkrow; interesting choice, Shiranui," commented Morty, "Gastly, start with Mean Look!"
"Kyouchou, Taunt!" The Murkrow put his Prankster ability to work and taunted Gastly out of using Mean Look.
"Gastly, use Lick and keep at it until the Taunt wears off!"
"Kyouchou, Torment!" Kyouchou then completed a deadly combo by tormenting the Gastly out of using the same move twice in succession. Gastly tried to lick Kyouchou, but the Murkrow dodged the attack.
"Kyouchou, Feint Attack!" The Murkrow disappeared from sight, flitting behind Gastly and dive bombed the ghost. Because Gastly was under both Taunt and Torment, all it could do was Struggle, causing damage to both Kyouchou and itself. The Taunt wore off, but Gastly was sill under Torment.
"Gastly, Lick!"
"Kyouchou, finish it off with Feint Attack!" Kyouchou flitted out of sight and sucker bombed Gastly into a knockout.
"Gastly, return; I choose Haunter!" Morty switched the fallen Gastly for the next Pokémon in its evolution line.
"Haunter, the Gas Pokémon and the evolved form of Gastly. Haunter is a dangerous Pokémon. If one beckons you while floating in darkness, you must never approach it. This Pokémon will try to lick you with its tongue and steal your life away."
"Haunter, Curse!"
"Kyouchou, Taunt!" Haunter may have been faster than Kyouchou, but the Murkrow's Prankster ability allowed him to taunt Haunter out of using Curse.
"Haunter, Shadow Punch!"
"Kyouchou, Payback!" One of Haunter's disembodied hands glowed with shadow energy as it managed to land a hit on Kyouchou that didn't do much damage. The hit made Kyouchou's attack twice as powerful and that was enough to strike Haunter into a one-hit knockout.
"Haunter, return; I choose Gengar!" Morty switched the downed Haunter for his headliner.
"Gengar, the Shadow Pokémon and the evolved form of Haunter. Hiding in people's shadows at night, it absorbs their heat. The chill it causes makes the victims shake."
"Gengar, Shadow Ball!"
"Kyouchou, Payback!" Gengar conjured an orb of shadow energy and threw it at Kyouchou, whom took the hit and only suffered minor damage. The Murkrow swooped in and struck Gengar with heavy damage.
"Gengar, Sucker Punch!"
"Kyouchou, Roost!" Gengar's attack failed due to Kyouchou healing himself.
"Gengar, Shadow Ball once more!"
"Kyouchou, Payback!" Kyouchou felt Gengar's attack and was determined to finish Gengar off. The Murkrow's attack struck and Gengar was down for the count.
"Congratulations, Shiranui," said Morty, "For defeating me, I award you the Fog Badge."
"Thanks Morty," replied Shiranui.
