Angie exhaled when the Zorua finally disappeared, hopefully for good. It had kind of creeped her out, even though she realized that it wasn't bad or trying to hurt them. Maybe now they'd reach the end of the stairs, at least. She started climbing yet again.

As you approach closer and closer to the top of the room, you see several pictures. There is a picture of Jirachi playing ball with two Zoruas. Another picture is of Jirachi splitting a berry with an Emolga. Yet another displays the whole group napping together.
There is one odd picture out there though. Jirachi is alone, looking right at you with fear and confusion. Next to that picture is an even odder picture of Jirachi in rock form.
You're wondering how these pictures even got here considering the mansion was supposedly very old. Perhaps they are Jirachi's own memories projected by the mansion itself. You certainly feel a lot of emotions coming off them: joy, warmth, a feeling of belonging. In the two odd pictures, you sense a great deal of sadness and loneliness.
And up ahead, you can see the faint outline of a door.

@Nyoko
Katie's only response to Oyumi was to nod a little - she was more than ready to get out of here. Survival was what was important, here, not catching pokémon. If she got out of here, there should be other chances someday. There had to be, there were so many pokémon out in the world, one of them would someday bond with her! But she had to get out of here to do it.
At her feet, the Rattata sniffed around a little, apparently looking to see if anyone had dropped something edible. As they walked up the stairs, she noticed the odd pictures lining the walls, and couldn't help the tiny frown that spread across her face. That Jirachi sure did seem lonely in that picture where is was alone...
What had happened to make a pokémon that seemed happy enough with its friends to end up so sad and miserable?

Kyrie:
Passing by all those other trainers without a hitch, Sabre was determined to finally scale what seemed to be impossible stairs. He didn't even take notice or care to the girl, whether she was following or not. Claude did check on her from time to time, however. Finally, there was a break through... sort of... Strange pictures were hung on the walls before him, making those sharp eyes dart from each one, frowning slightly to the last one's. How odd.... But he didn't linger on them too long, when a shape... a door like shape was visibly seen. Approaching it carefully, a arm extended to touch it, following what he was able to see. Claude sniffed at it curiously, nostrils flaring and flexing.

@Redbud:
It didn't take very long for Oyumi to fall back into step with both Fuutarou and Katie. Now that the stairs were no long under the Zorua's trance - and she'd really have to give the dear thing a nickname, but that could wait until later - the journey seemed to get by a lot quicker.
She was quick to notice the pictures on the walls, and with each one she experienced an intense surge of emotion. Joy at playing with its friends, warmth at being able to share with them, a sense of belonging with all of the friends it had made over time. And when she saw the last two pictures she felt her chest tighten, and for a moment she teared up.
"Oh, Arceus... I really hope the poor thing can find a home sooner rather than later..."

Ruination; it crumbles down to one.
Cetus could not look. This Jirachi reminded her too much of a person she knew too well. By complete stubbornness (maybe it was guilt?), she didn't want to name who.

 Kayla started to notice some pictures along the walls of the hallway. They were cute pictures of Jirachi and its friends. Some of them brought tears to her eyes as she realize all of its friends were now captured so its alone now. As Snookie trotted along, Kayla noticed the two odd pictures. One tear fell as Kayla almost felt the fear and confusion from the image and how Jirachi felt so lonele that maybe it trapped itself thinking that maybe it's better not to feel by becoming a rock...
Who knows.
Kayla pried her eyes away from the sad pictures and noticed the door outline. Huh. "I wonder what's behind that..."

One of Patricks weary legs eventually missed a step, only hitting air where it thought a landing would be. Crap, well that wasn't good! The officer failed about as he tried to catch himself. It's not like he wanted to get hurt, not at all. What sane person wanted to fall on stairs?
The officer landed on his face and gave out a groan, before getting up and dusting himself off. Ouch, well, that hurt. What other injuries was he going to get from this freaking place? A part of him didn't want to figure that out.
Eventually, he got to the two pictures and stared at them. Poor Jirachi, he looked so lonely in one of the pictures. Who would want to have pictures like that up? Shouldn't pictures be full of joy and happiness like the other one's on the wall? Maybe these were all pictures of memories. Yeah, that was it! Why else would they be up there?
Patrick turned his gaze away from the paintings and to what looked like to be a door. Hmm..Maybe it was a door. Maybe it opened to where Jirachi was so they could all get out of here, and the lonely pokemon could be happy once more! He walked towards the door. Didn't hurt to go see what was up with the it right?

Keria looked at the pictures smiling at the happiness and warmth in them she frowned seeing the odd ones it was sad to see how lively things must have been long ago and how empty it was now. "Oh Jirachi I hope you make a lot of new friends soon."
She pulled her self away from the picture and towards what appeared to be an outline of a door. she sighed softly when they found Jirachi and the adventure ended that meant that Tatters would leave as well. she shook her head she shouldn't be worrying about that right now.

The pictures... disturbed Flint. How could a Pokemon go from being so happy to so lonely and sad? what had happened? His gaze drifted to the doors outline. A door! maybe it led to jirachi? he hoped this was the case

The young man kept walking until they came upon the pictures then walked over to them, studying them. Xander placed a hand on the edge of the picture with the sad awake Jirachi, heart going out to it. Surely there was something they could do for it. He let his hand drop to the side as Rei nuzzled his back then looked down at the door. Time to end this one way or another he supposed.

Natalie looked at the pictures. She smiled a little when she saw Jirachi with his friends, but she felt like crying after the other two pictures. Don't cry... Don't cry! She rubbed her eyes with her arm. She turned to the strange door and studied it.

For Musica
She stuck close to the Absol and his trainer, maybe too closer for his liking. But her attention was drawn towards the pictures they were passing. Even her Zubat had shifted around (with much flapping) until he was draped over her shoulders, head next to hers. The pictures themself were...odd. Though she was beginning to learn this whole mansion was odd. Her gaze lingered on the one that seemed to be Jirachi in stone form. It just...looked so sad. As did the one next to it.
Glancing ahead again, she saw the faint outline of what looked like a door. Were they finally at the top then? "What do you think is on the other side?" She asked, glancing at the man in front of her before flicking her gaze to the Absol instead.

Reaching up and pulling the zubat from the little nest that he constructed with her hair the athletically built redhead paused for a great long while just staring at the pictures. She knew what it was like to be scared and confused, but she couldn't remember why---
It was rather unsettling. Knowing would have put her mind at ease and yet she had no clue why she felt such a connection.
"Pfft, whatever."

Genesis held back a laugh when she saw Patrick trip on the stairs up ahead. In front of him, she noticed an odd assortment of pictures, snippets of what appeared to be Jirachi's memories. Noticing the stark differences between the first two and the last, she glanced away. What had the Jirachi expected, bringing humans to its mansion? That they would all be friends? She knew this to be the inevitable truth, but there was still a twinge of guilt that turned her upturned lips into a frown.
Moving on towards the vague door she saw, she plucked Patrick's Rattata from Erebos' back and left it on the stairs to follow its trainer, as she didn't want it to be used as an excuse for Patrick to stick around.
