Spoiler

This time, Malphena dives down ahead of Haunter. The plan is for the two ghosts to battle Chandelure directly this time, so no Intimidate check is necessary.

Chandelure Rematch Round 1

(...)

Haunter resurfaces. He's eaten his Sitrus berry, but is has taken 4 more damage on top of that! He holds up two fingers to indicate his faint count. But he gives a thumbs up to indicate how the battle is going overall.

The poisonous ghost is glowing a little bit blue-violet.

While his banshee and Valder's punishing poltregiest waged war against that fiendish and repugnant Chandelure + its minions, Ventus stood directly across from the Candelabra with Apsis right beside him, both staring at the FTS marvel with different degrees of grim seriousness. The resplendent reptile looked on with thinly veiled wrath and intolerance, irritated and ill at ease that she couldn't play a grander role in rending those twisted spirits to pieces, but she managed kept her temper in check. Soon, she and her master would have their to exact bloodly REVENGE on them, and she was going to thoroughly enjoy every single moments worth to its fullest. Nobody tortures her master and gets away with it. NOBODY, *Hiiiiiiisssss....*

The masked marauder (Let's assume he got dressed like that at some point during the hike towards the Candelabra) on the other hand was deadly, almost frigidly calm as his stood and waited, his gaze seemingly trying to bore a hole through the stone and into the cavern beneath him. He too loathed being mostly in the dark, with his only ongoing intel being received from the activity from the bizarre gas fixture and Haunter demonstration, as barely any way of knowing if the Plan was going smoothly or castastrophically wrong (let alone any having any meaningful control or input) frustrated him greatly as well as constantly putting him on edge. All could he do was pray that his newest sister and Haunter could vanquish that craven wretch without it costing them dearly ('If they fell to the fiends deep down bellow....no, don't think of that, lest I drive myself mad with worry too....), and that at long last it would be no more after all is said and DONE. 

'Reshirim, if you can hear my prayers, please see our Pokémon to victory, and shield them from the ravenging flames of the wicked soul eating monsters......'

Haunter second return to the surface looking worn out from the fight was meet with Ventus rushing forward to apply a Potion to them (I do this because I want to move things along), fully restoring their HP in the process, and 'listened'/watched intently their message. Since Valder was putting his Pokémon wellbeing on the line for his quest for vengeance, the very least he could do as their employer was tending to Haunter's wounds and saving them a Potion in the process.

"So two of those spirits are fainted? Good, very good. *Sprays Potion on wounds* There, that should patch up the worst of it, now I ask of you to please return and continued to render aid to my sister, Haunter, and finish off Chandelure once and for all. Bring all them to me once they are Faint, or bar that kill them all, preferably in the most painful and gruesome way possible. I have no sympathy for it and its ilk after what it did to me, so neither should you. Understood?"

Order: Heal Haunter, since I kinda feel I'm responsible for whatever happens to Valder's Pokémon right now and it seemed like a thing Ventus would do, and then 'order' them to go back and continue helping Malphena, then bring back all the Fainted Litwick liners. If that isn't possible for whatever reason, they have carte blanc to just kill them however awfully they like. After all, Ven just wants them dead and gone mostly, and while not having the chance to off them himself will grate on him, he'll be content and peace none the less!
