The clink of coins brings a smile to the Medium. "Do not be embarrassed...the sound of metal on metal is what always begins the seance..."

Your three psychic Pokemon all have secretive smiles on their faces. The Medium lifts her arms, and her tent goes almost dark except for Braixen's dim Blaze and Kyuu's eyes.

A cold chill washes over the booth, and the Medium's eyes glow purple. So do Kyuu's and Lilith's, you notice, just before your eyelids grow heavy and close on their own. You hear the Medium speaking, an odd edge to her voice. "Ah, a Pokemon Spirit is very nearby...VERY near! It is inside a stone... We greet you, spirit! Tell us, will you help this child? Ah, then please, share your true name with us..."

Then her voice changes, becomes a bit more like a whispering Pokemon cry: "Sta-neh-soll, Sta-neh-soll!" The lights come on all at once, and everything is back to normal. The Medium quickly turns to you. "Well? Did a spirit speak through me? I had a vision of a round Pokemon, like a...Solrock, yes!"

The three Pokemon and Shiva each gain 2XP.

Whoahw. The experience of a real seance was...partly scary, partly ominous for Shiva, but above it all fascinating and interesting to witness. She wasn't quite sure what to expect when she decided to ask for the Medium's help on the search for a Pokemon Spirit, but as that cold chill washes over the booth she both impercibly flinched and strengthened the hold on her Gothitelle's hand and Braixen's paw while knowing that she made the right decision.

The quick come-back of the lights alongside the vanishing of the meaningful chill indeed startled her a bit due to the abruptness, but Shiva quickly caught herself as she was able to open her eyes again to look at first at her Psychic Types, then at the Medium, who she immediately gave another low bow as a response to the question whether a spirit spoke through her. "It indeed did... Again, I thank thee for the help, with your aid today Ghosts and Ghost Types will have a harder time if they want to get close to me. Do allow me to ask... What kind of Pokemon Spirit was that Solrock that came to us in this seance, does it bear a particular role or purpose? Is it the spirit of a deceased Solrock that found its peace inside a stone? I do know of spirits that guard locations, a family, or a bloodline... Were you able to find out when asking it for help...?"
