Intro

After winning the Thunder badge, Ash and his friends left Vermilion city. They
soon came to a place called Maiden's peak.

"I heard of this place," said Ash "They say a woman died here and became part of the cliff here. They even say her spirit still haunts this place".

"Wow really?" asked Misty.

"Well that's what the story is", said Ash.

Brock then saw a pretty woman, with light purple hair, on the docks. He found her very pretty. What he didn't know was that pretty woman was actually a ghost pokemon in disguise.

The gang saw that a festival was going on.

One of the residents explained; "This is our end of summer year festival. We always have one every year to celebrate the end of summer and our legend of the ghost of Maiden's peak".

While Ash, Brock and Misty enjoyed the festival, they also heard the story about the maiden of Maiden's peak.

The story was two thousand years ago, men from Kanto were sent away to war. The maiden, from Maiden's peak, was in love with one of the soldiers and waited for him to return, on the cliff. But her lover never returned, they say he died in that war. The maiden never believed that and waited for him to return for the rest of her life. They say that when she died her body became one with the cliff and they also say that her spirit still waits for her lover.

Apparently the end of summer year festival was also the anniversary of when the soldiers left for war. Ash, Misty and Brock also found out that tomorrow night, the people of Maiden's peak would be sending out candles on paper lanterns onto the ocean. The candled lanterns were to help lost spirits find their way.

That evening Ash, Brock and Misty were resting in the pokemon center.

"I keep thinking about that story," said Misty "It's  sad that maiden never got to live the rest of her life with the one she loved".

"You know I just remembered something" said Ash.

He took out a small brown box and a journal book from his rucksack. In the brown box was a very old ring, with a purple stone.

"Prof Oak told me about this," Ash said," A man named Yamato from Pallet Town was in that war two thousand years ago. He survived and when he returned home he wrote about it on some parchments. He even wrote that he made friends with the soldier that the maiden fell in love with".

"Are those parchments still around?" asked Brock.

"Not really," said Ash "Those parchments worn a very long time ago, but his story was kept from scrolls to books. This journal that I have is about his story".
