    Maybe this isnt cohesive, im still trying to find my footing back into writing, and idk why my anxiety is eating me up for bad writing, perfenciist in the first draft isnt helpful. I apoligise if you dont know whos talking. but if you'd ask me, my lore is odd as is and i find it fun playing in that realm! i made ghost types and ghost pokemon who used to be alive slightly diffrent from eachother. because on one hand ghost tyepes arnt dead people, spirits more similarly. I made dead pokemon have their bodies be their souls of the ghost pokemon they shift into, and ghost pokemon have a soul that is their body but under a layer.
    Where if one get sctrached, one is wispy and the other is flamey, the flamey scar means the other is dead, still burning with liveless yknow... mb this isnt cohesive, like in the mornign i was sleepy
    486 words! yay, im happy! this was short for me

    A slightly smaller Misdreavus has a ponytail up with the tag on the red scrunchie saying ‘0200’. Her eyes look back at the door, as a Gengar walks in
    Looking up from their clipboard, “Hello, I'll be your doctor-”
    “Why am I even here? I'm a ghost.” Misdreavous was nervous but would prefer to leave.
    “Well, do you have any phantom pain?”
    Misdreavus gets confused, ”How would I get phantom pain? I'm not dead.”
    Gengar went to look in the cabinets.

    “Well, curses, other mons can give you curses that mimic medical issues, and you'd end up getting phantom pain,

    A lot of the time, it is straining to learn how to feel normal about randomly having a heart rate without a heart. Due to us being ghost-types that aren't quite dead, it ends up more stressful.
    “Take pot’s for example, a lot of dead Pokémon that had pots wouldn't have veins and blood to worry about, except for random phantom lightheadedness.” “The dead can get phantom light-headedness,” the little missy interrupts, tilting her head.
    “We turn into pots. Or pot like… Sickness.” The kids don't understand the metaphor, and wasnt understanding what pots had to do with veins, except for the veins of the leaf.
    “It's short for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. It’s a type of intolerance, stand up too fast and all the blood in your body goes down to your legs.” But I suppose it was because it wasn't a metaphor at all, “Although in yours and our cases, visibility to the upper part of your body, having a body gets more transparent, you get more lightheadedness and dizzy. The veins you've never had might tighten, as if someone put burning wires in your hands or just body lower than the head in general. The only way to feel comfortable is you stop levitating so high up, which might be a problem if you're levitating off of a mountain.”
    They grab a pile of board games, and walk up to the smaller table
    “And if you have that curse long enough before it's removed, your body may think you've always had that. Well, I guess not for me, since I'm a dual type with poison, you're a pure ghost-type, which makes it easier for your body to develop medical conditions from or by curses.”
    They tick off something on their clipboard, making the misdreavous a bit agitated and taken aback.
    “How would we get from a curse?!”
    Gengar opens up a plain brown box.
    “Not just curses? Physical trauma can make your body weak, yknow, like close to dying. “
    Gengar shrugs as they got a chair for themselves.
    “Pretty different from mental scars showing up, ay.”
    Msdreavus was horrified.
    “I have Tetris.” They hold out an old retro item: “Did you know that for human psychology, after something traumatic happens, playing this game afterward helps their brain cope with the negative impact.”
