In a cluttered attic filled with scattered papers and piled books, Researcher Tonio pulled out a dust-covered volume, his glasses glinting in the dim light.
Tonio stared at the yellowed photograph tucked between the pages and murmured:
"Iris's grandmother Alicia encountered the Nightmare Pokémon, Darkrai, in these gardens."
