[ If you've spoken to Naminé before, you might notice she looks far more at ease now. Being around people who actually like her and mean her no harm has done wonders for her, and there's even a small, content smile there. She's sitting cross-legged on the floor, and in her lap is a Chikorita.

Making sure not to disrupt the sleeping Pokémon, she holds up a (probably familiar) feather. ]

... Is it normal to have things like these floating around? They're beautiful, but... I'm not sure what their use is.

Nothing like this happened when you were here last?

[ What a cute Luxio! Naminé nods and shifts, holding her Chikorita a little close. ] I'm doing well, Phoenix. I've been traveling quite a bit with a few friends. How are you?

Well, we had our fair share of weird things happening, but nothing involving feathers. [That he could remember, at least.

Phoenix grins, happy to hear that she's doing well!] I'm doing fine, Namine. My friend Jack is letting me stay with him in his mansion. Let me tell you, going from a dingy apartment to a sort of haunted house is a bit of a leap for me. [But it was interesting, that's for sure!]

I'm not sure I'm too surprised.

[ The friend's name and description of where he lives is... honestly familiar, and it might show as she replies. ] That's... a haunted house? Is it really?

[presentyourbadge]

So Jack says, yeah. Mostly there's just a ton of mischievous ghost Pokemon here, so I guess that's technically haunted...

[shatterings]

Mm. Some of them aren't nearly as scary as I thought they'd be.

[ Like Pumpkaboo. And Drifloon is too adorable for words. ]

They're not, are they?

[Phoenix smiles.]

I has a Mismagius the last time I was here. She was sweet.

I have heard some things about ghost Pokemon, though...there's lots of rumors surrounding them. Mysteries. Ghost stories, quite literally.

[shatterings]

I guess everything here really does have a story... Do you know any of them, Phoenix?

[video]

[presentyourbadge]

Er...nothing more than the common ones, I'm afraid. You've heard of Lavender Town, right?

[video]

[shatterings]

Yes... it's a resting place for Pokémon, isn't it?

[video]

[presentyourbadge]

Sort of. There used to be an entire tower dedicated to deceased Pokemon, but I hear they built a radio tower there instead. Thus, the rumors say that the radio tower is pretty haunted.

I can see why... I think it's a shame they did that. Is there... any similar place elsewhere their spirits can rest?
