Allister - Ghost Stories

Allister x GN Reader

Allister looked at all the others uncertainly. Somehow Bea had convinced him to go to this summer camp while she ran the gym in Stow-On-Side. "It will be good for you! You can go make friends other than ghosts." He protested as much as he could, but in the end, Bea basically threw him on the bus towards the camp.

Allister walked through the camp with Gengar at his side, nervously looking at all the new faces. Some of the kids were running up to each other, excited to be spending another Summer at the camp together. Allister felt so out of place, it made him nervous.

"Hello! You're Allister right?" Someone said with a little too much excitement in their voice. It made Allister jump back in surprise and Gengar took a protective stance in front of him. "H-huh?" Allister looked behind Gengar and saw a woman with brown hair and glasses wearing a camp t-shirt. "Sorry Allister, Bea said not to surprise you." A Dreepy popped up over her head, and gently laid down on top. "My name's Cecilia, and this is my partner Dreepy, I'm going to be your camp counselor this summer!" She replied cheerily. Allister tried to focus on the Dreepy on her head.

"Um..ok..." He replied with a small nod. Cecilia smiled and checked something off on her clipboard, "Don't worry, you don't have to interact with anyone if you don't want to. Just make sure you follow the camp rules ok?" Allister breathed out a sigh of relief and nodded, "Thank you..." Gengar, sensing no danger, floated back to Allister's side. Cecilia looked at her clipboard again, "Ok Allister, you'll be with me in Cabin 14, the ghost cabin!"

Allister felt a little lighter, "Ghost cabin?" Cecilia nodded and motioned for him to follow, which he did. "This is a cabin specifically for kids like you, ghost type pokémon enthusiasts. All the kids there will have ghost type partners with them, and we get to be in charge of ghost stories at the campfire!" She beamed. Allister smiled a little behind his mask, maybe this camp wouldn't be too bad after all.

The ghost cabin wasn't bad. Along with Allister, there were three other kids and they had their pokémon out too. There was a male Frillish, a Pumpkaboo, and an Alolan Marowak. And yea, Allister was already much more interested in the pokémon rather than the people. The owners of the Pumpkaboo and Marowak were talking to each other just fine, but Frillish's owner was sitting by themselves on their bed. They looked about Allister's age, and seemed just as shy as he was.

Allister had wanted to go say hi to the shy person, but...he just couldn't find the courage. Instead he busied himself with putting away his things before Cecilia stood at the head of the cabin. She clapped her hands loudly, "Alright ghost cabin! We're going to be heading for dinner soon! Since there's four of you we're gonna pair up! No going anywhere without your buddy!" She declared. Allister glanced toward the shy person with the Frillish, who was trying to hide in their shirt. "Ok it'll be Sam and Arthur," The other two kids cheered and high-fived. "And Allister with [Name]." Allister and [Name] looked at each other then quickly looked away, [Name] with a small bit of red on their cheeks.

Sam and Arthur lined up together at the front, while Allister and [Name] reluctantly did so. "Um..hi...I'm [Name]" they whispered holding their hand out. Allister looked at his Gengar reluctantly, but it simply pushed him toward the person. "A-Allister..." He reluctantly shook their hand. "I like your Gengar.." They pointed out. Gengar seemed happy about the attention it was getting as they all walked to dinner. Allister couldn't help, but smile behind his mask. "I like your Frillish.." He responded. Both [Name] and Frillish seemed to be happy about that. "You don't wanna be here either huh?" They suddenly asked.
