Seeing the Dragapult disappear, Shalin knew what was up, and she suspected she would be safe from the Ghost-type attack, given her mount's Normal typing. How wrong she was, Prance screeching after being hit from behind by the Phantom Force that by all rights should have phased right through her. She bucked and kicked in pain, sending Shalin flying off her Pokémon and rolling toward the spikes. She was unable to stop her momentum before the first row of them pierced even her BLUE VEST, leaving her dripping red as well. Backed into a corner, she felt she had little choice. Retrieving a Z-CRYSTAL from her pack, she held it in front of her and cracked it open, PRIMAL ENERGY filling the air around Prance.
"Prance, use your NEVER-ENDING NIGHTMARE!"
The crypt gave way to a black dimension glowing with eerie blues and purples, an array of ghostly hands from which there was no escape reaching for the Dragapult. As much as it tried to flee, several of the hands grabbed it by the tail and began wringing the Pokémon's spirit out. When the final soul gem shattered, the three floating Dragapult heads vanished with it. The two slabs locking the explorers in receding, an excited Shalin led the way to a small chamber with an eldritch glow in its center. Floating above the center of a dais with the likeness of a Spectrier embedded within was a purple medallion whose front was engraved with a similar carving.
The Spectral Medallion.
"That's it, Theo!" Shalin cried, the adrenaline rush from at last locating the seventh medallion staving off the stabbing pain she was in from the bloody battle. The moment she touched the medallion, though, all her pain disappeared, Shalin now surrounded in the... could it even be called a glow? The colors were so dark that some may not even call it light. "That's seven! One more and I'll at last be able to unlock the Halls of Origin underneath Sootopolis!"
You got the SPECTRAL MEDALLION, one of the Medallions of Eight! A relic of the divine strength of the Crown Monarch's ghostly steed, its existence bridges the gap among the material, ethereal, and astral.
And that was the smoking gun that could have easily tipped Theo off. It may have been in his best interest to let Shalin open the Halls or Origin up, but after that, all bets were off. With a name similar to the Cave of Origin, the Halls could hold a power that, if left in the possession of the League, could prove tricky to overcome. The Underboss may have been strongly inclined to stop her as soon as she were to naively lead the way to the secluded location deep in his own territory. This power would not be claimed by Shalin and the League. It couldn't be that way.
