You cannot kidnap legendary Pokemon and forcibly use their powers to your advantage. I have to set them free, I must save the world so that you cannot taint it any further."
The ghost turns to you, "Friend, the only way to completely destroy the scepter and the wailing Pokemon it contains is for one to sacrifice their well-being, losing their mind and everything with it! I....do not wish for the master to be the one to deal with this pain. That is why I ask a favor of you."
You tense up, "W-What is it?"
"I have no further purpose in this world. The master is at peace, if not for a few moments. I shall sacrifice my well-being to the scepter, and once my mind surrenders to the darkness, my behavior will be consumed by that of a previously unknown and unreleased evil, with that said....I WANT YOU TO DEFEAT ME IN BATTLE!"
You jump, "WHAT!? I-I couldn't!"
"You must! This is what everything has been building up to! If you defeat me, the scepter and the person bound to it at that moment will perish, I will die for a second time, and the master shall succeed me with the ghost he truly appreciated. Defeat me, defeat me so that the world does not fall to his feeble mind! Apologies again."
