They meet an {{si|old woman}} who tells them the story of Spiritomb which terrorized the village and how an [[Aura Guardian]] with a {{p|Pikachu}} defeated and sealed away Spiritomb in the Hallowed Stone Tower 500 years ago.

Then {{TRT}} shows up disguised as psychics.

They notice Pikachu alone, sleeping in a meadow. They land and head for Pikachu but they get into a pitfall trap. Then the group proceeds to imitate Team Rocket's motto but are interrupted by an angry Jessie. | The scene turns to the group searching for Spiritomb.
