When you face Kiki's soul in the Byxbysion Wasteland, get spooked yelled at, and defeat her, she transforms into a Misdreavus and joins your team. But something definitely felt odd to me. Kiki was usually calm and wise, but her soul was absolutely mad at the player. Even if I can understand her anger, why did she let down her wisdom, the very core of her being, all of a sudden? Plus, even though she felt like she was waiting to be appeased (since it's believed that souls wander as long as they're not appeased), she didn't calm down after I defeated her. Instead, she transforms into a Pokémon (first reaction I had was: 'wtf?'), a ghost one at that, meaning that her soul might stay here below forever, meaning that she will NEVER feel appeased.

(By the way, the whole scene freaked me out and her diatribe made me feel even more depressed and frightened about death, as if I wasn't already enough... ;-; )

So, here are my questions, was that the true soul of Kiki? Maybe that Misdreavus was nothing but a prankster? If she indeed was the real Kiki, what is making her that mad and preventing her from her appeasement?

Sorry if these questionings have already been answered, but this has been bugging me for a while. >.<

I don't think that that is meant to be Kiki's actual soul. The misdreavus was just around her grave and impersonating it for its personal enjoyment. It would have had to gain some information about how Kiki died, but I don't think that they're actually related.

Misdreavus is known for it's silly pranks like scaring people by wailing or yanking at people's hair. However it also feeds on fear using the red orbs arounds neck.Misdreavus generates this fear us a sobbing, creepy wail. However no mentions of soul summoning or the like has been mentioned.
However Mismagius is different, it's cries are far more powerfull. It can create hallicunation ,headaches,torment or sometimes even happiness. It also evolves using a dusk stone in other words external factors. The last element is that the location of the misdreavus when catched is called hidden dimension and the not wasteland. So my theory is that due to the dimension this mismagius has unlocked a part of the power of it's evolution while maintaining it's form . This means it can create hallucinations to generate the fear it needs to survive. Kiki and her medicham were porbably that: a hallucination. Anyone else would see something/someone else, this is backed up by the fact that after the event you can talk to the gravestone again and see no name. Also there is already a gravestone of Kiki in the wasteland.

That's a clever thought, it explains pretty much every odd thing about that scene. Then, that Misdreavus 'only' was the reflect of the player's remorse towards Kiki's death. Even with this reasoning, the fact that this Misdreavus is in my team since then still feels a bit creepy... I couldn't really help it, I love Mismagius! *-*

Anyway, thanks a lot for your answers! :3
