[Lord Windos]

As soon as the ghosts approached him once more, his hand darted into his satchel quick as lighting and pulled out a incense stick he was saving, just for this occasion. With a match, he quickly ignite the end of it, causing it to send off plumes of purple, lavender and liliac scented smoke into the room. Taking a deep breath, Ventus began chanting the following words, over and over:

"You are not to come near my body.

You are not to go before me.

You are not to follow me.

Where I stop, you are not to stop.

At my home, you shall not enter.

You are not to step in my steps.

You are not to be in my shadow

Where I go, you are not to go "

When Gengar used Hypnosis on Apsis, however, the researcher detected a huge burst of raw, determined willpower coming from Chuckles coinciding with the attack, causing him to halt the cleansing rituatal momentarily. Wave his burning incense around to discourage the spirits from coming any closer for the time being, Ven looked at the gym leader oddly, even more displeased with their descision thus far. "First their was those dreadful, malicious curses you employed that posed just as much of a threat to your own Pokémon as our own, and now you are actively overexerting your taxed spirit to force Gengar to continue to use Hypnosis? Burning both ends of the candlestick produces more light, Chuckles, but causes it to degrade ever more rapidly in the brilliant heat. Keep on using these dangerous tactics of yours, and either you or your Ghost types might 'drop dead' of exhaustion. Just a fair warning," the researcher says flatly, before transitioning his gaze over to his currently invalid Arbok.

Plagued with the wrathful curse of Banette, Apsis fitfully writhes in her sleep, her mind subconsciously trying to awaken to continue the fight. She was not going to be happy about being made invalid by their Ghostly antics, that is for sure.....

Order: Ventus is going into exorcisim mode right now, and Apsis will stay out and try to awaken from her slumber, either through Shed Skin or Accuring enough insight checks. Will still do 2 Bite attacks per round, until either Banatte or Gengar are out. This is getting....well, not good to put it politely.
