This thought explosion manifests itself in his face, which all the color has drained out of. Seriously, just the mere mention of ghosts is enough to turn him into a mess. It doesn't help that ghosts in the Pokemon world are like...ten times worse than in the real world.]

H-He's a gh-gh-ghost-type trainer? [Okay, calm down Hagakure. Deep breaths.] How can he deal with them?! Ghosts love torturing us fortune tellers 'cause we're more sensitive to them!
