+1 Shared Pokémon Evolution Stage

You meet Trinka just outside of the home she shares with Srin the Mienshao. Almost right away, despite the hardships that have been going on around town, Trinka seems like a very encouraging and caring Pokémon that tries to make the best out of everything.

You introduce yourself to her, and she smiles back at you, welcoming you to her home.

"Hello there, Carly!" Trinka happily greets you. "What can I do for you?"

You explain the situation regarding the Stalkers and that you were informed she could help.

"Yes, I knew Adis," Trinka tells you. "Arceus rest his soul. He may be gone from this world, but he simply resides in another one. A better one. But you're right, we need to continue his work."

"I may just be the only one that knew the true nature of the Sin Purge Ritual," Trinka tells you. "It's a bit complicated and involves a lot of parts, but it will be worth it. As for the Stalkers...

Trinka takes a deep breath.

"Pokémon by day, demonic monsters by night," Trinka informs you. "This is the life of the Stalker. The demonic forces that inhabit their bodies use these once peaceful Pokémon as a conduit to carry out their evil deeds when the sun comes down. Adis had a name for them. Enthrallers. They give the conduits a taste of demonic power and energy under the guise of a wish, and then try to establish a symbiotic bond between conduit and Enthraller to create a Stalker... a Pokémon that carries out dark and demonic deeds under the guise of a once-trusted and normal Pokémon. Some Pokémon grow very attached to this new power and become tied to this dark enrapturing. The Enthraller gives them everything and then some to destroy the Pokémon they once loathed in life, making them feel like some kind of retributioner or heroic vigilante at first. But even when all of that Pokémon's old enemies have been wiped out, they simply create new ones, finding new reasons to hate Pokémon that may have done nothing wrong to them. Some Pokémon hopelessly surrender to it and continue to carry it out these dark orders, while others try to fight it to no hope and can't even beg for death because of the control the Enthraller has over them. And these Enthrallers take everything the Pokémon once loved... their passions, their livelihoods, their professions, and their interests... and utterly twists them into something horrible, ugly, and twisted."

"Adis taught me everything about them," Trinka tells you, feeling it's very important you know this also. "Once he knew the nature of the Enthrallers, he spent hours of research to find out ways to drive them out and perform a kind of exorcism on them. And that's how he uncovered the Sin Purge ritual. It is a strong, holy mass-exorcism that will forcefully drive the Enthrallers out of the conduits, destroying them and the demonic powers they have instilled in these Pokémon. The spell, however... does not keep the conduit alive because the dark power that has infested them takes its roots in their vital organs, but it will save their souls from damnation once the demonic possession is purged by the ritual."

"It has to be done," Trinka says to you with firm determination. "Carly, these Pokémon were deceived, but they shouldn't be denied the chance of salvation because of the lies the Enthrallers fed to them in the form of wishes and dreams. They were once like you and I and all the other Pokémon of Serenity Town, tempted and given the dark offer of power to unlock their wildest dreams by some infernal Enthraller that tricked them into becoming a killing puppet instead. But I have a feeling this is only the tip of the iceberg. In time, the source of these Enthrallers has to be found and destroyed to stop them from doing this to anyone else, but for now, we need to focus on the Sin Purge ritual to save Serenity Town before it's too late."

Trinka hands over a small white star stone to you.

Item: [Star Stone - Mother Nature] has been added to the Team Inventory.

"This is for a lock in the windmill cabinet," Trinka tells you. "In there, I'm sure Adis kept some of the tools for the Sin Purge Ritual protected. When you get a moment, please talk to my husband, Srin, when he comes home. The two of us were good friend of Adis, and I know Adis entrusted him with vital components of the Sin Purge ritual, also."

"Carly, best of luck to you and your friends," Trinka tells you with an optimistic and hopeful smile. "Arceus is watching over you. You and your friends can do this!"
