Entry 1: Tripher drifts through the minds of the living, offering riddles, knowledge, and… deals. What it gives and what it wants in return is never the same, and few trainers truly understand the consequences of accepting one. Legends say those who strike bargains may gain incredible insight—or lose something they did not even know they owned.
Entry 2 (Alternate): Tripher has no true physical form and exists only as a floating consciousness. It can only be seen or interacted with when deliberately summoned by a trainer. Legends warn that it can slip into the minds of those who summon it—and occasionally take control of their body—though its motives are always unpredictable.
NPC Poem / Lore Fragment:
“From a world beyond, where dreams collide,
Tripher drifted forth, with nothing to hide.
It saw all truths, and twisted the skies,
Until its home fell, a realm of demise.
Deals it offers, fickle and sly,
Take with caution, or lose what you prize.
It floats, it peers through your mind,
What you seek in it, you may never find.”
Timeline Pokédex Entry:
Tripher existed before recorded history, in a world of pure thought. It tried to share knowledge and perception beyond comprehension with its peers, but reality itself broke. Now, it drifts through dimensions, entering minds and offering unpredictable deals.
