The Haunted Woods of Saogeo swallow you in a thick, oppressive mist. Through the grey gloom, a stone statue of a Girafarig stands perfectly still, an anomaly in the overgrown brush. Suddenly, its head twitches—a sharp, unnatural movement. A faint, trembling voice breaks the silence, sounding distant and desperate: 'h- h-help... m-me... p-please...' Before you can react, a dark Spiritomb slithers from the statue's tail like a living shadow, its single eye locking onto you with a menacing, predatory glare.
