[Lord Windos]

Ao Guang: (4) +6 = 10
Chandelure: (4) + 4 Dex + 1 Survival = 9

Ventus stared down the most likely malicious candle stick spirit with utmost severity and calmness, for as a Pokémon Researcher that specialized in Disobedient Pokémon and had more than a passing interest in Ghost types, he was well aware this particular species was capable of. One wrong move or lapse of attention on their part, and the both of them could find themselves baking away in an Inferno, all the while the ghostly being tried to leech away their souls, one bit at a time....

 Ao Guang, meanwhile , gave the Chandelure a flintly eyed look of noble dispassion and contempt as he balanced and pivoted to face it, completely unphased by the flaming spector. He was the Dragon Lord,  a being that possessed the full might of his brutal Dragon heritage and had the omnipresent power of his Water at his command , one that commanded the admiration and respect of its allies and instill fear and dread in his foes. The Chandelure's pyroclastic, arcane nature and their penant for eating souls were naught but an weak emphemeral candle compared his own power. He will not be intimidated by this Pokémon. No, it is he who will be the intimidating one, the one who will douse their flames in an instant.

Sensing that his Azure Dragon was fully primed and ready for this fight, the empath wasted no time issuing orders to them, still holding the same deferential and respectful tone he usually address them, but this time with hints of seriousness making it sound all the more urgent. "My Lord, I humbly request your aid in subduing this soul sucking fiend, and ensure the safety of ourselves and the group we travel in. To that end, all I ask is that you do not kill the Chandelure, and dispatch it as you see fit, so that I may capture with the help of my Arbok sister Apsis and remove them from this area. I'll be ready to support you by healing any Burns or restoring you HP if it drops to a perilous point, so you can count on me! Now, let loose your draconic and torrential power upon in, my liege, and show them the folly of hunting us down!"

Order: Since Ao Guang has 4 Disobedience to my 1 Loyalty, I'm not going to even try to issue it orders with Ventus. Instead, Ven will just give it the general blanket order of 'Faint that Chandelure however you like' , and let it choose to use whatever moves it wants or do nothing if choose to. Mechanically speaking, they'll be using 4 Actions per Round against the fiery specter, with Ventus fully prepared to use a Burn Heal if they happen to have Inferno/Flamethrower and proc Burn 3/2 it on Ao Guang at the end of the Round before the Burn damage can go off (And therefore prevent the Ghost from trying to re-lite them on fire again in the same Round and preserve supplies), and a Super Potion if they fall below 4 HP. If he's Burn 3 and brought to 4 HP in the same round, prioritize healing the  Burn first, then use a Super Potion at the start of the round after that. Hopefully by trusting his Dragon Lord and giving it full responsibiliy/power in deciding his moves will endear him a little more to him.......

Once Chandelure is Fainted, Apsis will be sent out to Paralyze it with Glare, Freeze, and Poison it with a Held Back Ice Fang and Poison Sting in that Status Procing ordering (which shouldn't deal damage but should eventually proc the Status on it, since Ghost/Fire Resist Ice AND Poison type moves! Since Orthros got Frozen, I presume Chandlelure can too!), and then a Steel Ball will be used to Capture it. If it fails to capture it to the point that it breaks (Don't really know how durable these things are, so have to be vague here!), then his Dusk Ball (Which should have its effectiveness boosted in the Cave) will be used on it next. If THAT doesn't work, then the Great Ball. If the thing isn't capture by the Great Ball, Ven will be rather.....creative in his methods of dispatching it, as it made him waste roughly $2000 Poke and put his/his compainons and Pokémon's life in peril with hardly anything to show for it. That's all for now! If its captured at some point, it will be sent to the PC automatically for treatment of its Status Ailments.
