“How in the world did she get up there...” Minato mumbled to himself, staring high into the sky of the tree above him. Near what he could assume was the middle of the tree, a rather small girl was shimming her way up, searching for Messiah knows what. He watched her in silence, curious as ever about what she was doing. Perhaps she was a very avid Pokemon trainer trying to catch her next haul, or was avoiding a nasty Pokemon that had chased her, anything was possible.

Phoebe should have been at the Pokemon League with the rest of Hoenn's Elite Four, but a week earlier she'd announced that she was going on vacation. They usually knew in advance if a trainer was getting ready to challenge them and there had been no such news, allowing her time to simply explore other regions. The first region she'd stopped at was Unova. And, of course, being a ghost-type trainer and being able to talk to ghosts, she ended up at the strange house.

She'd heard a story about how it was haunted. The ghost of a girl, the daughter of the house's last owner, still lived here, trying to find someone to stay with her so she wouldn't be lonely. Phoebe wasn't sure if it was true or not, having heard many ghost stories that ended up being false, but something about it felt true. And if it was true, then she had to talk to the ghost girl. There was a certain responsibility that came with talking to ghosts. She couldn't just let the girl stick around here, trapped between worlds.

Phoebe put a hand on her hip, looking up at the house. If not for the broken windows, it wouldn't have seemed that odd. It was a weird color, at least in her opinion, but it wasn't like a typical "haunted house". She raised an eyebrow and looked over at Banette as he cried out, looking behind her. She turned around, a smile quickly spreading across her face as she saw another girl. "Hi! What are you doing here?"
