'Dunno! The Pokedex entries just say they can "sense disasters", so we should try testing it out!

[His expression soften slightly as he looks at Egon.]

I think you might like them anyway. Apparently people assumed they were the cause of the disasters because they would show up right before, and would drive them deep into the mountains out of hatred for the poor things.

[pkemeter]

Most people hold a fear of the unknown and the unnatural world. It's almost shameful how much people still are unaware of the supernatural and what it holds, especially as this universe actually has such prominent activity.

[Egon nods slowly, munching thoughtfully on a spoonful of Jello. After a few moments, he says--]

A classic Frankenstein response.

[...???]

[ghoststanning]

[Ray nods as if he understands (he probably doesn't understand).]

They're apparently peaceful creatures too! They normally don't even like fighting despite being a dark type.

... And if we wanna perform experiments, it might be nice to have one on hand if something's gonna blow up!

[...Maybe not... the best reason to get one......]

[pkemeter]

[Egon seems to brighten a little at that.]

That does seem like a good idea, though I was more thinking about large-scale events such as the one we witnessed at the Ruins of Alph. It would make it easier to be there in sufficient time to actually create a plan and deal with the situation.

[ghoststanning]

[Ray brightens as well; it really makes his day when he makes Egon brighten up at least a little.]

Even better! And if we plan on opening up a New Ghostbusters, having one on hand would be really useful for work!

They can be like our little Janine!

[pkemeter]

[the ghostbusters become bad luck charms. but, then again, weren't they already bad luck charms?]

Wouldn't it no longer be called Ghostbusters if our scope were to be expanded to include Psychic and Dark types?

[He gets up out of his seat for a moment, picking up all the empty plates on the table. He somehow managed to finish everything during the span of this conversation.]

Maybe we should check up on the top deck and see how far we are, currently.

[ghoststanning]

[Ray looks thoughtful.]

We can call ourselves the Pokebusters here! That way we don't have to worry if someone calls us about a wild Tauros or something.

[Ray picks up his own plates.]

Sounds like a plan! Some fresh air sounds nice right now anyway.

[pkemeter]

Pokebusters.

[Egon repeats the word, looking thoughtful.]

It has a distinct sound to it.

[ANYWAYS UP THEY GO. To the top deck!! As they climb up, Egon pauses to mention--]

Oh--I've forgotten to tell you, I recently received a Pokémon from someone as a gift. It is a fungus-like creature that uses mimicry to trick its prey into approaching it.
