Suppression

"Woo~"

The space beneath the dim deck.

The chilling cries emitted by irregularly scattered specks of fluorescence continuously echoed through it.

The gaseous, mysterious substance forming Spiritomb's body blended perfectly into the darkness, leaving only its rough outline barely visible.
