AS YOUR HEART FINALLY SETTLES, you take your next step forward, daring the ghost to appear with your every provocation. Disturbing the rooms as you search through them for clues has rouse the apparition's ire. You feel a sudden, unexplainable chill that eventually passes, but your memory of it remains long after...[break][break]

Dione Sutoringu, Isaac Merlo and Ashley Shepard are unable to find the conclusive proof they need, uncertain of whether the evidence is simply elsewhere to be discovered, or not even present. They can only helplessly continue fumbling through the decrepit corridors in search of something meaningful. Every passing minute left them pressured and reluctant to continue...[break][break]

By way of persistence and the light of Ashley Shepard's Rotom, nicodemus unken is able to recognize a breaker box hanging against the wall slightly down the hallway. Given the low lighting and the locked doors, it's possible that flipping some of the switches may reroute power. The switches do not budge easily, but eventually they snap forward, and for a moment they would hear a subtle whirring of electricity...[break][break]

...But then the power fails suddenly, and they are all of them blanketed in a reinvigorated darkness that threatens to overtake them. In the dark they cannot see the signs of a phantom menace lurking out of sight, growing bolder as they are consumed by shadow...[break][break]

Isaac Merlo would notice a matching fuse breaker in the posterior section of the lab within the geode caverns. Although it goes off like a whizzbang and seems less amenable to a simple flip of the switch, it's possible that with the right technical abilities one could make minimal repairs to restore the circuit...[break][break]

While they languished in the darkness, they would hear a noise; the sound of grating nails as if being dragged towards them slowly from somewhere beyond their sight... If they had any chance of spotting this chilling encounter, they would need to conjure up their own source of light light.[break][break]

HOENN HISTORICAL MUSEUM, LILYCOVE CITY

[break]

WORKING TOGETHER HAS ITS REPERCUSSIONS, your team would slowly begin to realize, but there was a sense of security in their numbers that allowed them to conduct their search without suffering from nerve-wracking separation. But it meant they equally shared in one another's follies...[break][break]

While gauging the temperature, Eris Halla and her Castform would notice a mild warmth smothering the room for a brief moment before fading, leaving them to wonder whether it had been the ventilation, or a subtle indicator that might go unnoticed by most...[break][break]

Many of their efforts otherwise prove less fruitful, and their trespasses only further disturb the apparition. While they survey for electromagnetic disturbances, and try to snuff out any wisps in a developing fog, they would eventually realize that such signs are not present.[break][break]

But there is one who makes strides. The Odd Keystone glows with a pale lavender hue...[break][break]

In a few moments they all feel their breath hitching in their throat, watching as a flurry of shades begin rushing about the exhibit in a bit of a hysteria. They seem to be rushing away or investigating the nearby displays, shelves and anywhere something could've been tucked away. You're left wondering if something had been stolen or gone missing as their silhouettes fade away...[break][break]

You're dumbstruck by the sudden activity and are paralyzed by what follows next, as the museum begins BROADCASTING A STRANGE TUNE over the INTERCOM. It's a strangely mystifying yet disconcerting symphony that plays in the striking tunes of a MUSIC BOX. Just as suddenly, your and your pokemon feel a horrible, gut-wrenching sensation overtake you... Your pokemon do not find it wholly unfamiliar, but they do not relish this viscera of dread and death upon them... The song MUST be stopped![break][break]

Stricken with pangs of foreboding and discomfort, your team would do well to calm the mind to avoid further loss of sanity; something to soothe the nerves, or medicine to quell these strange symptoms...[break][break]

AS THE TURBULENCE GROWS STEADILY, those of you remaining outside must consider taking shelter from the coming storm. Time and the elements themselves work against you, harrying your progress...[break][break]

From within the scoutmaster's cabin, Laurence Anderson calls on the insightful eyes of a PORYGON-Z, a characteristcally flawed specimen with a faulty software upgrade. For a time its assistance seems even less helpful...[break][break]

Outside, Elinor Anderson and Killian Decker make their own headway. While the former fails to secure any signs of fingerprints, they should not be discouraged. Not far from them, Killian Decker lights up the vicinity with a WILL-O-WISP that stretches over the area. Spectral flames hover over the grounds and tents, illuminating their contents. They're both able to see now that the tents are tattered and torn in many spots, especially the ORANGE TENT...[break][break]

Prodding around the tent further would reveal a DESTINY BOND DECK of cards halphazardly strewn about the tent's floor, THE HANGMAN card resting face-up amidst the pile. He is able to deduce that the campers were playing with these cards before...[break][break]

Back at the cabin, Laurence Anderson would watch as his Porygon-Z went HAYWIRE processing INCOMPATIBLE DATA, its software update causing its body to begin whirring and gyrating erratically. The sounds of its almost pained expressions were disturbing, if nothing else...[break][break]

An astute observer might glean some evidence from this, considering the unique disposition of the virtual species...[break][break]

Callan Young, though persistent in his investigation, manages to overlook the shifting of the tree limbs above—discounting it as the byproduct of growing turbulence in the area. But he is not wholly ignorant to his surroundings, as he manages to uncover a DEPLETED CAMERA resting against the foot of the tree, mostly intact. Pressing the power button does nothing, as the device requires a repleted power source to achieve intended functionality...[break][break]

Back at the cabin, window shutters and even the door BANG LOUDLY IN THE WIND, enough that you'd think someone had slammed them shut in an outrage. But Laurence Anderson reminds himself that he is alone in this place... Or at least ought to be, unless his comrades had returned...[break][break]

But that's when Laurence Anderson hears a dull thud followed by a shrill, hollow scraping sound creeping closer... and closer... AND CLOSER...! Realizing something sinsister is upon him, Laurence must escape to a new ROOM to elude this entity—before it finds him![break][break]

AS THEY DELVE DEEPER STILL, your team begins looking into the minute details, tunneling their focus on the intricate engravings and ornamentations of the antiquated halls. You wouldn't notice the subtle shifting of shadows surrounding you as you worked...[break][break]

FERNANDO SILPH is nothing if not thorough, and his efforts yield immediate results. White noise bleeds out before subtle syllables can be heard, like the dying croak of some creature... It is followed by a low growl, and mayhaps a hiss, and then it is followed only by eerie silence...[break][break]

Fernando would have to paint the picture himself to know what such an unfathomable situation might bring about such context, but as he's read before, last words are rarely anymore significant than one's first. He resolves only that they've uncovered their first true piece of evidence, moving onto the next task at a brisk pace...[break][break]

kyle lopez's diligence proves fruitless where his own endeavors are concerned, but his awareness yields them newfound discoveries. Should kyle lopez or MATIAS SILPH respond to NOAH'S call for assistance, their cooperation may yield new evidence.[break][break]

noah faber's curiosity would seem underappreciated at first, as they attempt to transcribe the significance of the runes, but his commitment to supervising the immediate area earns them their next piece of damning evidence. Unown writing has begun encroaching upon the headstones immediately surrounding the runic circle, though their fel words offer no reassurances:[break][break]

As their words are understood a second, underlying message may present itself, practical if not useful.[break][break]

On the floor above them, MATIAS SILPH sifts through the monument, less than impressed by the seeming inaction of their haunting apparition. A call rings out from below that he may or may not resolve to answer, but something keeps him. Darkness surrounds him then, smothering the room from all sides, a rich miasma that forms shadowy tendrils with hooked fingers poised to grab them...[break][break]

AS YOU PASS THROUGH THE SHAMBLES AND RUIN, many of you realize this place is literally falling apart. You can hear the faint drip of condensate from somewhere deeper in the cavern, matching your footfalls. You try to avoid damaged appliances, fearful of the loud, zapping sparks that arc out of them periodically...[break][break]

Of them all, nicodemus unken is the first to realize power must be rerouted, or a breaker flipped back on. One could only begin to wonder where such a panel or electric box might be, as he sees none surrounding him, but that is enough to assure him the door can be opened. When he hears footsteps coming back, he thinks to share his discovery, only there is no body there to accompany the noise of heavy thudding approaching him...[break][break]

All on their own, Ashley Shepard falls prey to the same fears, as disembodied footfalls seem to surround them, the shrill static of white noise doing little to remedy their unease. And for all their efforts, they discover nothing of note where evidence is concerned. But upon closer inspection they realize the tank was shattered from within, explosively, as none of the shards of glass have coalesced within the biochamber...[break][break]

Within the cavernous extension of the main facility, Dione Sutoringu and Isaac Merlo uncover the first of many highlights. Their pokemon quickly discovers phantom footprints in the cave, and the damp water beneath them squelches with every new print. Both of them feel a chill creeping over them, realizing their suspicions...[break][break]

As she turns over the strange geode, she may realize it has subtle magnetic properties, clinging to any metallic garments on their person. It looks strangely green, and yet you are unsure whether it has been tarnished by exposure to certain elements. Perhaps this material was significant to the studies conducted here, somehow?[break][break]

ABANDONED HOUSING, SOOTOPOLIS CITY

AS YOU BEGIN YOUR INVESTIGATIONS, you realize this house is literally falling apart. The floorboards creak and groan as you pass through, and all of the furniture is covered in dust, detritus. Splinters and debris litter everything, ruining the comfort such basic amenities might have once offered you. As your spend more and more time in this place, you become increasingly discomforted by the state of decay...[break][break]

bryan delarosa is the first to ascend the rickety staircase, which groans under his weight, the handrail shifting beneath his touch. But should he remain steadfast, he would discover the children's room above, largely untouched by the disaster that claimed the ground floor. But something about it almost seems... unnatural, giving him reason enough to explore the room's contents.[break][break]

Back downstairs, Rowan Wrynn and Aidan Hereford fumble through the dining and living rooms respectively, but their efforts turn up very little. While it's possible they overlooked something searching through the layout, they would immediately recognize Oscar's efforts as he deliberately searches for damning evidence with his pokemon. Although perhaps they avoid directly prodding the haunt for good reason...[break][break]

From the kitchen, oscar clayton's efforts yield evidence that is more forthcoming. A white noise creeps into the Rotom's voicebox, before subtle voices are picked up by the receiver. Listening closely, they eventually normalize into something more understandable:[break][break]

oscar clayton, Rowan Wrynn & Aidan Hereford would all feel a slight chill up their spine as they realized they were finally communing with the dead, put off further by the strangely uncharacteristic tone of the words. What exactly had happened here...? While all three of them were clearly able to discern the voices, it would be Aidan Hereford that saw the television flicker, before a fading grim visage took hold over the darkened screen...[break][break]

At the very least, it might be a valuable keepsake worth pawning off...?[break][break]

IN HER MAD SCRAMBLE TO THE BOAT, skyler dross manages to retain possession of the strange souvenir, and once safely on the deck of her ship she would be afforded more than a casual glance at its shape and craftsmanship. Rolling it over in her hand, she would see it had no such writing, and was merely an artefact of unknown origin and potential value...[break][break]

Subsequently, Razz Kingsman remained on the deck, tending to their work, releasing a Raichu. He wears a calm expression despite the shadow that threatens to swallow up the ship, interested only in furthering their understanding—gathering more evidence. He would have to make sure his curiosity didn't get the better of him...[break][break]

After no evidence is yielded, Razz begins to wonder... Should they go overboard to try below? If this thing was underwater, should they not... perhaps... dive beneath these placid waters...? They needed to be sure, right...?[break][break]

Razz Kingsman suffers from such invasive thoughts as his mind begins slipping away from him, and into the thrall of whatever had projected the shadow beneath their vessel. Left unattended, he may even fall overboard, answering the siren call...![break][break]

After flying to her side, angelo vestri does not overly fixate on the endeavors of his Altaria. From its perch it could see much, and at its command a haze began to roll over the shadowy depths... Once again there is no sign, but slowly the realization begins to take hold...[break][break]

Forced to swim through the drifting wreckage, Serena Malcolm also happens to pass by some strange overboard cargo. Should they so choose, they will have picked up a CHIPPED POT that was very nearly about to sink beneath the waves.[break][break]

Your heart hastens under the duress, knowing you are alone and exposed...[break][break]

While Tempest Quinn explores the southern halls, they come across a strange curio left behind by the last adventurers to explore here. Something not unlike a puzzle box, there are tiny stone fragments scattered on the ground surrounding it. He would stumble across them by happenstance, perhaps even stepping upon them as the haze builds up around them, spilling over the corridor. For all his efforts, not a wisp or mote seems to appear, giving him the impression there are none to be found...[break][break]

To the north, Cillian Quinn reaches out to the dead, lending ear to their voices. But they are reluctant to answer, lost in the throes of their agony. Gavin is reasonably able to conclude that there will be no interactions on the voicebox, but he does notice a section of tiles that seem significantly more weathered than anywhere else...[break][break]

During their forray, Martín del Mar remains closer to the landing site, slowly working his way through the strange mosaics. Many of them depict beings from their creators' times, and remain mostly inconclusive. But there remains imagery of GROUDON and KYOGRE to be seen further ahead, and Mars is able to determine the cave's purpose as a sort of chronology, or record of events. The further he explores however, the more he'd notice depictions of Unown, but these were engravings—not the proof he concerned himself with. Such evidence didn't appear. Yet as time went on, he began to see strange things in the pictures—things that did not belong on these aged stones.[break][break]

Martín del Mar struggles with what may be hallucinations, perhaps from a strange mold growing on the ceiling, or some magicked aspect of this place as he succumbs to this trap. The idea that the ancients had recorded such events... Were they truly doomed to fail, then...?[break][break]

They are all of them only able to peel their eyes away from their investigations when all at once, from the landing site, they hear the dreaded first sign as an echoe cascading through the halls:[break][break]

SPLITTING UP AMONGST THE PINES, you are subjected to the twisted abmiance of the woods as the skies overhead begin to dark, blotted out by the forest's canopy. Yet you're certain it hasn't gotten quite so late yet to warrant this vast, encroaching darkness...[break][break]

As they poke and prod at the eerie monuments, annalise henderson and DEREK HOFFMAN quickly set about sifting for evidence, relying on their pokemon's insights. It's convenient then that while one inspected for elusive clues, the other conjured an ILLUMINATING GLOW that cut through the growing pitch. Working together, you realize what appeared to be random gouges in the earth are actually a trail of prints, like the skittering appendages of some great spider-like gait trawling through the woods... The thought gives you goosebumps.[break][break]

The others are not so fortunate as they moved forward casually, blindly moving around in the haunted creature's domain. They do not find any evidence, though perhaps they had not meant to, as some discoveries are made purely by accident. But as PENELOPE LIVY and ollie morales trudge through the woods by the light of a mystical flame, they begin to hear something. Deep, reverberating groaning surrounding them, impossible to pinpoint and cascading across the windless trees...[break][break]

Stopping short of descending the staircase, mint frost finds nothing of import after an initial observation, though they seem not to care for the nitty-gritty details of their investigation. But even still they give a small start when a poster begins to flap with a breeze, despite the lack of ventilation to cause such airflows...[break][break]

Keen on taking a chance, or perhaps bearing a grudge against gambling, illeana reyes's Rotom unleashes a thunder wave at her behest.

WELCOME TO...

INTERIOR MAUSOLEUM, MOUNT PYRE

[break]

UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, your team realizes someone has come through here before. There are tributes still sitting before certain marked graves, and the telltale cleansing tags of the Channelers are posted around the room to ward evil. You're not sure whether it's all just superstitious nonsense anymore...[break][break]

Promptly getting down to business, FERNANDO SILPH begins examining the bulk of the mausoleum at large, targeting the scores and scores of tombstones lining the halls. His Rotom voicebox comes to life at the whim of his companion, but it betrays no sign of any activity it might have picked up on. But before Fernando can completely abandon this tool, white noise begins to bleed through, giving him reason to double check...[break][break]

While noah faber examines the strange tiles that seem to have been displaced, kyle lopez seems drawn to the walls of the antechamber and their markings. While Noah feels like he's on the precipice of realizing something, Lycanroc cannot seem to find any fingerprints. But they are both of them alarmed when suddenly, an intricate rune pattern forms just beneath where Noah stands...[break][break]

In tandem Kyle witnesses a BROKEN SPELL TAG that crumbles away before his own two eyes. The flood of blue light that filled the room with a gentle luminosity is swiftly corrupted into a crimson aura that feels less welcoming...[break][break]

On the floor above them, MATIAS SILPH examines a burial sight of some import, if the scale of its burial is evidence enough. And although that's the only reason he has for snooping about this strange chamber, it's enough for him to go off of for now... Besides, he can swear the statues are practically staring through his soul...[break][break]

WELCOME TO...

THE FORETREE SUMMER CAMPGROUNDS

[break]

A CONSTANT BREEZE HOWLS OVERHEAD, you and your team would realize, as you split up and search for any clues. As the weather seems to turn you feel an air cold like steel brushing against your skin where it's exposed. It's unnatural weather for Hoenn's clime...[break][break]

Elinor Anderson presses onward to the abandoned mines, which were closed down years ago, though for reasons unknown. As they approach with their Hisuian Braviary, hoping to investigate for clues, they are instead met with grim, uninviting darkness. Even trying to navigate under the wooden barricade leaves you feeling vulnerable and claustrophobic. You realize that you have perhaps encountered a dead end...[break][break]

...And you would be proven right as a swarm of golbats come from out of the cave intent on harrying your progress, held at bay only by the pokemon at your side. They retreat further into the caverns, but you can still hear their wings flapping irately. The experience leaves your heart racing, and gives you cause to turn around.[break][break]

Elsewhere at the Hangman's Tree, Callan Young invokes the power of haze to gain the power of sight, that they might see the telltale wisps of an ephemereal haunting. But even as the trees and bushes disappear behind a dense fog clinging to the forest floor, Callan would not gain the clue he is looking for. He is reasonably confident, then, that wisps are not present on these campgrounds...[break][break]

Laurence Anderson walks into the proverbial den unwittingly, moseying about where he's unwanted. The floorboards creak and groan as the door swings open easily, and the interior proves more drafty than one might come to expect. Surrounding him are the worldly possessions of the former Scoutmaster, left untouched. There's a noticeable sign of struggle around the desk—pens and papers scattered about, and a drawer left hanging ajar. But the Odd Keystone reveals nothing more than his eyes can already tell...[break][break]

While moving around the perimeter, Killian Decker would notice that some of the tents remained open, their flaps tossing in the wind when it billowed over the hill. Upon looking over the cliffside, he gets a sense of vertigo, realizing such a fall would be more than enough to do someone in. Cautiously creeping around, he would notice the greatest clue any of them had yet uncovered...[break][break]

You find what is more comfortably described as a 'thick club' lying about near the scout's tents, no more than a foot in length, though it's passing strange as you're intimately aware that Cubone don't roam these woods. You consider the possibilities of what left this behind as the overcast sky grows ever more turbulent above...[break][break]
