It looks like she's conducting a seance- that is, attempting to contact the souls of the dead. Normally, seances utilize Ouija boards, candles, and other occult paraphernalia. It is also complete hokey that usually results in ghost types, such as Shuppet, playing pranks on the would-be medium. What this girl is doing is slightly different. She appears to be trying to amplify the residual psychic energy left in the corpses so that it can properly be read using telepathy. This is known as a Psionic Seance, and is practiced by hex maniacs with telepathic talent. It is also extraordinarily morbid, and most people view it as a desecration of the dead, which would explain why she's here at night.

"They seem so peacefully..." Elise whispers to her brother, having no clue what they're doing.

Ira whispers back. "Well, sounds like they're trying to mind-read the dead, so I'm not sure I'd agree."

Rotom did not go with Ira and Elise. Good ol' Spookydex is currently back at the house, watching Nio with Hau and Kane. As Hau switches out the old tape for a new one, Rotom sidles up to Kane and asks "Hey, you think Ira and Elise are doing all right?" *** Mimikyu completely ignores the creepy girl and slides on by. She looks up sharply when she detects its presence, but realizing it's just Mimikyu, she goes back to her work. If you want to sneak by her, make a stealth check.

Since Elise has no sense of self-preservation she walks straight past the girl who just seems to mind her own business, mimicking Mimikyu. In case the girl would look in her direction she would give the girl a friendly smile. She didn't try to make much noise, but didn't try to be stealthy either. Besides, this was a graveyard a public location anyone was allowed to be. If the girl wanted some peace and quiet she could mind-read the dead from her house or something.

Ira hesitates for a moment before accompanying his sister - hopefully his presence can give this girl second thoughts if she decides to try anything.

The girl looks up with eyes the size of dinner plates as she sees Elise and Ira go by. She draws the completely wrong conclusion from their actions, swiftly gathering her paraphernalia and Pokemon before fleeing for her life. Mimikyu pops its hand out from beneath its costume and waves good-bye to her before turning and sliding deeper into the cemetery.

"See you later!" Elise shouts after the girl, waving together with Mimikyu. Completely ignorant of the fact that the other girl saw her as a threat. After that she followed Mimikyu again.

Mimikyu continues for another few minutes, and then stops. Around you, more Mimikyu slide out from behind tombstones, greeting their friend before curiously surrounding you. Some just stare, while others, unsure of what to make of you, poke you gently with their sticks. In the Alolan moonlight, you can see that their costumes are motley, stitched from whatever they could scrounge up- furniture upholstery, blankets, leaves, movie posters, and more. All are crudely formed to look like Pikachu- complete with crayon faces scribbled on.

Ira's eyes dart around the surrounding Pokemon, his muscles unmoving but tensed for action.
He whispers out of the corner of his mouth to Elise. "If these things start telling us to come play with them forever and ever and ever, we're out of here, right?"

The Mimikyu you followed pokes each of you in the foot, once each, and then points around a gravestone. Across some graves and the path winding between them you see a seriously oversized bean bag chair- one big enough for Ira, Elise, Hau, and all your Pokemon (including Tropius)to sit in it comfortably. In the moonlight, you see a group of about Meowth within the beanbag chair- two appear to be playing with a rubber ball, one is asleep, and the fourth is bouncing up and down. A Persian lounges in the chair behind them all, seemingly asleep. Mimikyu hisses quietly as it angrily shakes its little stick at them from the safety of the shadows. .....taking a second look at the Meowth and Persian, you realize that they're.... different. Their fur is dark gray, and the Persian has a blue gem set into its forehead instead of a red one. Their whiskers are curved upwards, and all of them act with a pride you've never seen in the Meowth back home.

"I think Mimikyu wants to sit in beanbag too... But isn't it large enough for both of them? Elise wonders while looking at the scene. Wondering why they simply couldn't share the beanbag.

Almost in answer to Elise's question, a small Mimikyu slides out of the darkness behind the beanbag, trying to slide on top of it. But the Meowth notice, and in a flurry of caterwauls and Bite attacks drive the intruding Mimikyu away. The Meowth return to their business, completely uncaring of the Mimikyu, now hiding near you and making little sniffling sounds.

Ira sighs and looks to Elise. "Sis, please tell me that this guy didn't break into our house, mess with and destroy our stuff and drag us out into a cemetary... because a Meowth is sitting in his chair."

"Bro, tell me. Do you want to sleep on the floor? Elise asks the obvious question.
Imagine you come home and a snorlax is lying in your bed. She says before stepping into the clearing. Not taking a hostile action yet, but shouting out to the Meowth.
"Hey, what's the big deal?!"

The Meowth begin yowling defiantly at Elise, only to fall quiet when the Persian stirs. It gets up, walks in a circle a couple of times, and then lies down again. But it doeosn't go to sleep; instead. it stares at Elise defiantly, seeming to say "Come and get it." Meanwhile, the Mimikyu are trying to use pictograms to communicate with Ira why they need their beanbag chair back. However, since all they can draw is circles, it's not going well.

Ira sighs for a moment before glaring at the Persian and speaking slowly. "Okay, kittycat, here's the deal. You're leaving that thing one way or another. Either you leave on your own or you get shoved off." He hovers a hand over one of his pokeballs. "I don't wanna have to do it and you don't want me to do it, so why don't you shove off so I don't have to."Intimidate check: GuW26iIY4d6 4d6

The Persian looks at Ira, and then at the Pokeballs at his belt, and its eyes narrow. It then yowls at the Meowth, who reluctantly abandon the beanbag chair. It then gives Ira a "This isn't over" glare before leading its pack into the night. You get the feeling that it had bad experiences fighting trainers before, and isn't eager to repeat the experience. The Mimikyu, seeing their tormentors leave, emerge from hiding, doing a silly little victory dance before hopping onto the beanbag chair, sewing up damage done by the Meowth's claws. When they finish, the Mimikyu sit on the ground, staring at the chair. Persian failed its check to resist Ira's intimidation. It will be back, though.

Ira narrows his eyes and keeps his hand hovering above his pokeballs. It seems unlikely to him that this is any ordinary object, so he tenses his muscles, ready to strike it the Mimikyu or the chair turn hostile.
