"Eyes brimming with dark flame, this man rejected everything other than himself in order to bring about one singular justice...' That's part of a novel I'm writing. I was inspired by the challenger who was just here, and somehow I got a little sad... Excuse me. You're a challenger, right? I'm the Elite Four's Ghost-type Pokémon user, Shauntal, and I shall be your opponent."

Black and White[]
If the player chooses the "haunted library" room in the Pokémon League, they will find that Shauntal is adding onto her latest book, reading the work aloud. She then notices the player and apologizes for not noticing them; the passage she was working on is based on her last challenger - a young man with a powerful will to see through his ambitions. Concluding her explanation, Shauntal informs the player that they will begin their Pokémon League battle.
Part of Shauntal's name is "haunt", which is something ghosts are known to do when they don't cross over.
