Stats:
Strength: 3
Agility: 2
Intelligence: 2+2
Charisma: 3
Type Bonus: Ghost -> Intelligence
Moveset:
- Lucifer creates one or two small flames of magic fire, that burn with ghostly chill. He mainly uses the colourful flames to light up dark places. When used on other pokémon, the flames are mostly harmless, but may leave nasty cold burns.
Move 2: Hex (ghost)
- By feeding evil energy into his usually docile Will-o-Wisps, Lucifer causes them to flare up and burn with the fierce heat and intensity of true fire. They now cause direct damage and are particularly harmful to pokémon, who have been burnt or suffer from other major ailments.
Move 3: Foul Play (dark)
- Description: Lucifer taunts his opponent in various ways, trying to enrage it. He then taps into the emotional centre of the distressed pokémon. Drawing on the negative energy, Lucifer is able to incorporate some of his opponent’s strength and add it to his own, as he finally attacks. This move works best with stronger enemies, where strength is available in plenty.
Move 4: Substitute (normal)
- Lucifer invests some of his health to create a lifelike puppet that he then uses as a decoy in battle.
- In private, Lucifer uses an alteration of this ability, to create various dolls that comfort him during the dark hours of night. These special dolls are very fragile and break easily. They have no defensive value and expire on their own after a few hours.
Inventory:
Slot 1: Hooded Cloak
- A plain cloak that Lucifer uses when it rains.
Slot 2: Hunter's Code 1

- Zoe extends the plasma that shrouds her body, to include a nearby Pokémon and bond with it. For a moment the two become as one and their healths combine. Upon parting again, their combined health is shared equally between the two. Depending on how Zoe chooses to apply this ability, she can either use it to better on her own condition, or give some of her health to help a wounded ally or opponent.
Move 3: Trick (psychic)
- Using her lightning speed and the element of surprise, Zoe switches items with a nearby Pokémon, without it noticing.
Move 4: Thundershock* (electric)
- Zoe attacks with jolts of electricity, leaving her opponent hurt and possibly paralyzed.
- *Possessing some appliances will cause a Rotom to transform into one of five forms. Each form has a special move tied to it. While transformed, Zoe can't use Thundershock but has access to the signature move of her current form. Upon returning to her jolly old self, the special move is forgotten and replaced by Thundershock.

========== WRITTEN TEST ==========
Above your team stands one of the few restaurants around Andalusst that could be considered ritzy, Café Obscurité. The name is often looked upon as ironic, due to the establishment's success and popularity. Many can't afford to dine here, but it is where the Hunters have invited your team to speak with a Guild representative. Hopefully they don't expect you to pay...
The moment you step float inside, the Pokémon at the front desk approaches you and shows your team to a table. It's located in one of the darker corners of the already-dim establishment, and it's already attended by a sly, smiling Furret with a blue newsboy cap. The Hunters representative, you realize, though he hardly seems like a good fit for the present surroundings.
Upon noticing the arriving party, the long-eared Mustelid gave the two ghosts a quick wave of his paw, "Hey, pull up a seat. Order your favorites; this one's on the Guild's checkbook," he greeted them.
"Wow, thanks Mister!" Zoe blurted out with great enthusiasm. The young Rotom was beaming all over and without further ado she took a seat by the table. Taking a moment to look around, the energetic Pokémon was literally bouncing with excitement.
After some hesitation, Lucifer followed his partner's example and sat down on a chair next to her's. Unlike the bouncing Electric-type, the cloth-covered ghost seemed all but happy to be here. Ill at ease, the Shuppet shuffled around in his chair, before finally settling down. It was clear to anyone who cared to look, that something was bothering the undead child.

"Hey, what with that worried expression, kid?" the striped ferret inquired.
Lucifer looked up and for a brief moment their eyes met - if one could say that - The light blue gaze of the Mustelid didn't seem to be settled on anyone in particular, as though it was simply staring off somewhere. The young ghost could almost see the glowing red and yellow of his striped eyes reflect in the strangely pale eyes of their host. Hurredly the Shuppet averted his gaze and settled it on the tabletop instead.

Hurredly the Shuppet averted his gaze and settled it on the tabletop instead.
"It's nothing," he said, trying to dismiss the Furret's question, but then he reconsidered. "It's just that..." The child paused and sighed heavily. "...we're ghosts. We don't eat," he added with gloomy voice.
"Oh, but I have to object on that one!" the Normal-type exclaimed. "Just because you're dead and don't 'have' to eat, doesn't mean that you 'can't' eat," he added in a cheerful tone.
"We can?" the two ghosts asked in unison.
"Sure you can!" the cap-wearing Furret said with a laugh. "Just try not to make too much of a mess while you do," he added with a quizzical smile.
The two young ghosts looked at their host in puzzlement, uncertain of what he was hinting at. Eager to know, the energetic Rotom was quick to ask, but stopped mid-sentence. "Oh!" she said instead and began to giggle.
"Name's Cuffin by the way," the Normal-type introduced himself and gave the visor of his newsboy cap a light tap.
A second later, an Empoleon waiter arrived at their table, putting their conversation on momentary hold. The magnificent bird wished them all a good evening and began to pass a fancy-looking menu card to everyone present. As the large penguin tried to hand one to Cuffin, the Normal-type simply shook his head and gently pushed the menu back against the Empoleon's feathered chest. "The usual," he commented with disregard. The waiter merely rolled his eyes at this and turned his attention to the two ghosts.
Of the two, only Lucifer had the necessary skill in reading to be able to decipher the beautifully curved writing on the menu card. Despie this, his multi-colored eyes were moving slowly across the lines. There was a fair number of higher-class dishes represented on the card, and they all had complicated and fancy-sounding names. Unfortunately, none of the names made any sense to the struggling Shuppet. He could feel the expectant gaze of the waiter resting on him. "Err..." he said helplessly.

Unfortunately, none of the names made any sense to the struggling Shuppet. He could feel the expectant gaze of the waiter resting on him. "Err..." he said helplessly.
"Would you like an 'Appetizer' or an 'Entrée', perhaps?" the waiter asked with haughty voice, trying to encourage the young ghost into making a choice. This didn't help in the slightest though, since Lucifer wasn't familiar with either of the terms. The confused ghost looked to Cuffin for help.
"Or maybe skip the boring stuff and go straight for the desserts, eh?", the Furret suggested with a grin, earning a scolding glare from the waiter for his poor choice of words.
By the word "desserts" the eyes of the two children lit up. "Yay! I want a bucket of ice cream all to myself!!!", Zoe cried out. She began to chant, "Ice cream! Ice cream!"
Looking for the corresponding section on the menu card, Lucifer found his number of choices reduced to three. To his dismay, none of them had the word "ice cream" in their description. By now the Shuppet felt like giving up on this whole idea of ordering something to eat. Why did the meeting with the Guild representative have to take place in a restaurant of all places?
Noticing his despair, Cuffin leaned forward and whispered, "Try the 'Parian Parfait'."
"The Parian what?" the undead child asked, then he remembered an even more important question, "Does it have ice cream?"
The Furret gave a slight nod.
Feeling reassured, the Shuppet returned his attention to the menu. Pouring over the content, he triumphantly placed a cloth-covered finger on the line spelling "Parian Parfeit." and tapped against it. "We'll take one bucket each of that Parian stuff!" he announced proudfully.
"Parian 'stuff'..." the waiter eccoed "...in a 'bucket'!?" By the word 'bucket' the Empoleon's voice cracked slightly and his beaked face took on a horrified expression. The regal bird looked at the two beaming kids. "But little sirs!" he began to protest. "This is a well-renown restaurant. We don't serve our meals in 'buckets'!"
"Now you do," Cuffin coughed into his fist, earning another glare from the waiter, but also prohibiting the waiter any further protests on the matter.
The large penguin's feathers tensed and relaxed again, as the Pokémon struggled to regain some of his professional composure. "Very well, sir," he said at last and forced a smile. "Would you like anything to drink?"
Lucifer was the first to recover from their laughing fit. "Well," he said and began to straighten himself back into a sitting position, "...we were actually going to join the Researchers guild. But Zoe kind of got us banned from their lab, so now they wont let us join at all. Not that I mind, though." the Shuppet said and shrugged his shoulders. "I mean, come on. Researchers seem to be all about boring stuff like books and studies."
The cloth-covered ghost made a thoughtful face. "Come to think of it..." he said and turned to face his partner. Lucifer noticed that the hyper-active ghost wasn't bouncing any more and had ceased her giggling. A little puzzled by this, he asked her: "Why did you even want to join them so badly? You never told me why."
Zoe looked up from the tabletop and met with his inquisitive gaze. "Oh, it wasn't really because of the guild." the young Rotom hurried to say. "It's just..." she began to explain, but found herself struggling with finding the right words.
"Their lab..." she tried again. "It's what led you and me out of the fog... You know, back then, when we had just met and become friends."
Lucifer let out a laugh. "Yeah, I remember. You came from out of nowhere, in the middle of night and before I knew it, you had possessed my flashlight and drained its chargestones. I got really upset when the light went out.
"Haha, yeah. Sorry about that." the electrically charged ghost said and smiled at the memory, then her expression became earnest and her smile faded somewhat. "I was running terribly low on energy back then and I was desperate to restore it, or atleast keep it from dropping even further. Your flashlight was a real life-saver to me. I was still low on energy afterwards, but I felt a lot better.
"Oh, I never knew it was like that," Lucifer said. "I always thought you broke it as some kind of prank. Sorry for thinking that," he added with a whisper.
"Nah, don't worry about it," Zoe replied and waved her hand dismissingly. "Anyways," she continued her story. "...a few days later, I picked up this really faint reading and began to follow it through the fog."
"Oh, I get it now!" Cuffin cried out and snapped his fingers. "Most Pokémon, who came through the fog, were led here by the Dreamer's Eye, but you were attracted to the Researcher's lab instead. I bet it's full with all kinds of energy sources, but you need to be a member to be allowed in there. Am I right?"
Zoe nodded and her gaze returned to the tabletop. "The lab was irresistible to me," she whispered and folded her hands. "It still is..."
"You should have seen it!" Lucifer said with a snicker, as he picked up the story where his partner had left it. "Zoe shot right past the beacon and headed straight for the Researcher's lab. There was a major fuzz, when she dove right into it and began to possess all kinds of stuff in there, but then she got kicked out and now she's not allowed anywhere near that place."
The striped mustelid gave an amused chuckle. "Ah yes. I remember hearing of it," he said and added. "There was a major power outage in the lab. Chelle wasn't too keen on revealing any details on the matter." The Furret chuckled. "Alright, that answers why you didn't join the Researchers, but it doesn't answer my question. So why the Hunters?"
"Oh, I almost forgot you asked," Lucifer said apologetically. "Well, with Researchers out of the question, I think that the Hunters guild is the one that will fit us best. I mean, Explorers sound fun too, with adventures and all, but they seem so... dead set on helping people and doing good deeds. Where's the fun in that? Do I look like a boy scout to you?
Lucifer and Zoe glanced at each other. The Furret's unusual demeanor was puzzling to them. "Well," the Shuppet began after some consideration. "...since we're both ghosts, we can move through walls. We're great at getting into all kinds of trou- Err, I mean places," he corrected himself and hurriedly added; "Even locked or guarded ones." The young ghost paused for a second to elaborate on the topic. "Heck, we can come and go as we wish and no one would ever know. We leave no traces."
"Yeah, and we have no feet, so we leave no footprints either!" Zoe chimed in. The Rotom beamed as she looked between the two.
Lucifer laughed at this. "That's right." he said with an amuzed smile. "We float through the air, and that means that we can get into hard-to-reach places too. We would make great spies." The cloth-covered ghost fell silent, as he tried to come up with more.
"I'm superfast!" Zoe blurted out.
"Yeah, Zoe's really fast," the undead boy confirmed, then he remembered something. "Oh, and she can shapeshift too!! I mean, not just possess stuff. She shapeshifts for real!!!"
The two ghosts looked at each other and burst out with laughter. "Do we look like a pair of angels to you?" Lucifer asked between laughs and wiped away a tear. "We do things they don't like all the time!
"That's why we want to call ourselves 'Team Mischiefs'." Zoe added.
Hearing this the eyes of the two kids grew wide and were literally sparkling.
"Are you kidding?!" Lucifer exclaimed. "Now we want to join the Hunters even more!" he rejoiced, while his Rotom partner began to chant, "Hunters! Hunters!"
The Furret gave a slight nod.
Feeling reassured, the Shuppet returned his attention to the menu. Pouring over the content, he triumphantly placed a cloth-covered finger on the line spelling "Parian Parfeit." and tapped against it. "We'll take one bucket each of that Parian stuff!" he announced proudfully.

The large penguin's feathers tensed and relaxed again, as the Pokémon struggled to regain some of his professional composure. "Very well, sir," he said at last and forced a smile. "Would you like anything to drink?"
After the waiter had finished taking up everyone's orders, he retrieved the menus and prepared to leave. Still contemplating, where he would find a pair of suitable buckets, the Empoleon took a moment to rearrange the cards he had tucked away under one of his flippers. Straightening up, the Water-type shot one last annoyed glance at Cuffin and began to walk away.
Once they were alone, the Furret gave a light shrug of his shoulders and lazily slumped back into his seat. "No sense of humor," he commented the waiter's departure and returned his attention to his two guests. "Now, where were we...?" he murmured and narrowed his paleblue eyes. Cuffin's face lit up and he snapped his fingers. "Right, introductions! No need to tell me your names, I already know who ya are," he said and offered the two a sly smirk.
Tapping his paws together, Cuffin leaned deeper into the back of his seat and continued, "So... I work for this kid, Sundance. He made me promise to ask ya a few things before I go off on my own thing. He'll get his feathers in a bunch if I don't, so humor me. First things first..." The Normal-type paused briefly to clear his throat.
To the two children's big suprice and great joy, Cuffin began to mimic the voice of the young proxy, as he recited the first question. "Why do you wanna join the Hunters?" The question was accompanied by a roll of his eyes. It was probably meant to drive home a point of some sort, but it only made the giggling children giggle even harder.

Cuffin's ears twitched, as he regarded the young Shuppet and his Rotom friend.
"For the fun, eh?" the scruffy ferret recapped, another sly smile growing on his lips. "Well, I guess that's... respectable," he said, as he seemed to contemplate their answer. "Yeah..." he murmured after a while and gave a slight nod, then he reached for a parchment already settled on the table and drew it closer. "Ok, on to the next question," the Furret declared and gathered up the paper from the table.
The two children assumed that he was going to review the next question before asking it. Instead the mustelid just barely glanced at the document, before he crumpled it between his paws. "What a bothersome kid," he sighed and disposed of the unwanted paper by carelessly flinging it over his shoulder. Returning his attention to the two ghosts he leaned back into his seat. "Ok, so what can you bring to the Hunters? What skills or talents can you utilize for us?" Once again, his recitation of the question was somewhat mocking, but this time it didn't result in anyone giggling."For the fun, eh?" the scruffy ferret recapped, another sly smile growing on his lips.

"Yeah, yeah, I gotcha. I guess we'll get to see some of that soon enough," the striped mammal interupted, then he noticed Lucifer's hurt expression. "Don't get me wrong, kid; your answer don't mean you're gonna be taken or thrown out. This is basically... formalities..." Cuffin paused. Thoughtfully he tilted his head upward and scratched his cheek. "...Yeah, formalities. I think that's the word he used. Whatever that means."
A grin came over the Furret's fuzzy face as he readied himself for his next question. "This one's more interestin', to the little guy's credit," he said and lowered the register of his voice. "Are you against doin' things that the Royal Guard ain't gonna like if they catch ya doin' em?"
The two ghosts looked at each other and burst out with laughter. "Do we look like a pair of angels to you?" Lucifer asked between laughs and wiped away a tear. "We do things they don't like all the time!
"That's why we want to call ourselves 'Team Mischiefs'." Zoe added.
Cuffin's ears twitched at the replies. "It ain't me, just sayin'... I know well enough that if yer here, then you an' I are prolly already aware of the answer to that question. I just needed somethin' to tell the kid."
The Normal-type tossed his hands in the air and let them plummet down the sides of the chair, then he let out an overly dramatic sigh of relief. "Whew. All right, enough of that stuff. The kid is on the right track alright, but sometimes it seems like the royals crammed a stick really far up there, if ya know what I mean. All these "formalities" and junk... anyway, the rest is straight from me."

All these "formalities" and junk... anyway, the rest is straight from me."
The pointy-eared Pokémon straightened up in his seat and took a moment to survey their surroundings. Relaxing his posture the Mustelid leaned closer. "You already know the basic stuff, so I'm gonna level with ya," he began to explain in a hushed tone and added; "Ya know, from spy to spy."
The hunched over Pokémon with the blue newsboy cap did indeed look very spy-like to the two children. It was clear to them, that whatever he was about to reveal was strictly a "formality" of his own.
Cuffin began to speak in an oddly sincere fashion. "Truth is, the Hunters are all about knowin' things about everybody else. Yer gonna learn secrets that nobody else will know. It'll change the way you look at this whole city, and yer prolly not gonna like what you see, but you'll always know exactly what's goin' on under the coat of sugar. I wouldn't blame ya if you'd rather go hang with a Guild that doesn't deal in the worst of what Andalusst can offer."

Hearing this the eyes of the two kids grew wide and were literally sparkling.
"Are you kidding?!" Lucifer exclaimed. "Now we want to join the Hunters even more!" he rejoiced, while his Rotom partner began to chant, "Hunters! Hunters!"
Cuffin smirked at their reactions and his non-serious demeanor returned. "Is that so? Well... to be honest, I would've blamed ya, actually," he said jokedly and tossed his arms in the air. "Who doesn't wanna know everything about everybody? Life is all about keepin' yer options as open as possible 'til the right moment."
Saying this, the Mustelid leaned back into his seat and pulled out a coin. Lackadaisically he flung it into the air, just as the waiter came into earshot.
Saying this, the Mustelid leaned back into his seat and pulled out a coin. Lackadaisically he flung it into the air, just as the waiter came into earshot.
The Empoleon's flippers were laden with everyone's orders, buckets included. The feathered Water-type glanced in the coin-flipping ferret's direction and gave an annoyed roll with his eyes. He knew better though, than to comment on Cuffin's bad manners. Instead he began to serve their drinks.
The children's eyes went wide, as the mighty Penguin put down the first of the two wooden buckets in front of them. The rigorously cleaned washbucket was filled to the brim with ice cream, fresh berries and a selection of exotic fruits, topped with flakes of frozen chocolate. "WOAH!" the two exclaimed and grabbed their silver spoons, eager to get started.
When the turn came to the platter containing Cuffin's meal, the waiter paused and regarded it, as if he was contemplating on spitting in it. The Furret wasn't paying him any attention anyway... After a moment's hesitation the waiter sighed and put the silver plate down with a mild clatter.
The regal bird made sure that everything was as it should and wished the company a pleasant meal. He was about to leave, when unexpectedly Cuffin flipped the coin in his direction. The Empoleon caught it between his flippers and gave the Furret a puzzled look. "For your trouble." the striped ferret said, without even looking in his direction. The waiter's feathers bristled and he considered to toss the coin right back at the unmannered mammal, but then he simply huffed and walked away. There was no shortage of new Hunter recruits. He would have plenty of chances to get even with the pesky Guild representative.

He would have plenty of chances to get even with the pesky Guild representative.
Cuffin shrugged his shoulders and turned to face the two ghosts. They were just about to dig into their ice creams. "Before we eat..." the Normal-type interrupted them and reached down towards a nearby glass. Palming it, he picked it up and held it up across the table. "Let's toast, to the new recruits," he proposed and leaned in over the table. With a whisper and a blink of his eye, he added, "That's you, just so ya know."
With the first Dungeon coming up, I thought that it would be a good time to turn Team Mischiefs into a hybrid team.
