Knowing what Arrow and Yris have dealt with in Valley Graveyard and what you've dealt with before, you feel quite assured you know exactly how to handle this. It may not be the most comforting job, but you've gotten quite good at it now.

You head down to Valley Graveyard, and while most Pokémon would overlook the signs, you spot and feel them from a long distance away. The evil infestation is definitely there and it's lurking all over the place in that cemetery.

As you head in further, the shadows have sensed your soul and now creep in for a taste. It starts off as a slight, unsettling t̳į̩̹̜͙͈ng̛͙̺͖̯̻l̥̜é͍ as you pass by the first rows of worn-down headstones and cemetery plaques.

It suddenly feels like damning nightmare, but you growl out the frustration and focus on your Seinaru once you're within range. Glowing, white waves and beams of white, holy energy drive back the shadows. The red-ringed Umbreon tries to fight it and defend the Corruption's Eye, but his efforts prove to be futile. But as he goes down, he gives you hell before he resigns from his guardianship.

You drive the sin-purging Seinaru into the Corruption's Eye, ripping through the malevolent shadows. Like a spear ripping through a beating heart, the light pierces the eye, and there's nothing but macabre screaming and shrieking before the shadows surrounding the graveyard begin dying.

{Corruption's Eye: <Seinaru>}

Their screaming death is both relieving but horrifying at the same time, but slowly, they peel away and lose their grip off of you.

The taunts are all they're capable of now as they fall apart like ash, a shadow dust that vanishes in the wind. Even the strongest and most resilient shadows now fall, and before long, the world is a slightly brighter place.

Before you emerges a shining light of purity, and you are drawn to it, longing for its cleansing. It makes the world slightly less somber and melancholy, but as you inherit it in your heart, you feel a wave of comfort and divine warmth.

The Emissaries become stronger. The Charming Trait has been upgraded.
Spoiler:
CHARMING
Your friendly and easy-going energy calms most who surround you. You are considered welcoming, genial, and trustworthy, which helps you make friends and allies easier than most.

Effect:
+1 to all rapport scores.
Upgrade: You can choose intimidation or modesty.


Daniel the Umbreon restores 6 points of Purity, and gains a temporary +2 to Purity.

When the shadowy wraiths are dispelled, you are now able to see the graveyard in full. But something seems strange. Not all of the dark, infernal influence has been dispelled...

You try to find the source of it, striving to completely flush all traces of dark, negative energies you can but it takes you in circles and you still can't find where this strange aura is coming from. You try for hours, but you find yourself no closer to the source than when you just started.

As the hour grows late, you decide to go, but just before you leave entirely, you look over your shoulder, convinced something still persists in that cemetery...
