That was no accident.
I was murdered by that person.
That's why I took my revenge.
It's only fair, isn't it...

Reunion and Turnabout — 1st Trial
You see...
Surgeon — Turner Grey
I find it all highly upsetting!
The one who killed the fourteen patients at my hospital was
the nurse who mixed up the medications.
And yet, before she could admit her guilt,
she died in a traffic accident!
Director Grey
Fourteen Dead at Grey Hospital!!
So I, the director, am rumored
to have caused the accident to silence her!
The Director Responds to Questions Successive Medical Mishaps Across Country
Did the nurse make a mistake?
So that's why you decided to seek a spirit medium's help?
Exactly!
I'll summon that nurse who got herself killed
and make her sign an affidavit that it was all her fault!
The Kurain School of Channeling's representative head, Maya Fey...
I hear she's famous in those circles.
I have an acquaintance who knows a lot about the occult.
When I spoke to her, she referred me.
Did the condition that I attend the channeling come from her?
Yes, she asked for you by name!
"Only if Nick attends," she said.
All right, Mr. Nick?
My name is "Phoenix"...
Is she a full-fledged spirit medium now?
Kurain Village
Kurain Village...
This is Maya hometown, huh?
Let's be on our way.
The ceremony should be starting soon.
Right.
Hello!
A girl?
Pearl?
Bad girl.
How many times must I tell you not to follow suspicious strangers?
S-Suspicious?
I'm sorry, Mother.
Goodness. What if you fell and hurt yourself?
This girl somewhat resembles Maya...
Well? Who might you be?
I'm Grey. I booked a channeling ritual today.
Oh, I'm Phoenix Wright, a defense attorney.
An attorney?
Ah, so you are the one.
I have heard about you from Mystic Maya.
Mystic... Maya?
Fey Branch Family Member — Morgan Fey
I am Morgan Fey, Mystic Maya's aunt.
Fey Branch Family Member — Pearl Fey
This is Pearl, my daughter.
She's Maya's cousin?
Hello.
Please come in.
Everything is ready.
One Chance, One Meeting
Self-Proclaimed Journalist — Lotta Hart
If it ain't Wright!
L-Lotta?!
Long time, no see!
One Chance, One Meeting
This sure takes me back.
Did you get a li'l taller?
Who are you, my aunt?
What are you doing here?
You should already know.
I'm here for the big scoop!
You're still at it? Being a photographer?
You betcha.
I'll never forget it.
For six months since you toyed with me in court,
I've chased every scoop I could sniff... I, dirty photographer Lotta Hart!
Weren't you the one toying with the court?
It's almost time...
It's almost time, Mr. Nick!
Even if that nurse descends as an evil spirit,
I'm prepared to fight with everything I have.
As you can see...
Wh-What's with that?
It's not a real gun, is it?
What do you think?
I think this guy has the wrong idea about channeling.
Everyone, please correct your posture.
I can finally see Maya?
What impudence!
That's Mystic Maya to you!
She is the last of the head family's bloodline,
the Kurain School of Channeling's legitimate successor.
That is who Mystic Maya is.
The head is ready.
Then, let us begin.
Spirit Medium — Maya Fey
Maya...
We shall now begin the Kurain School channeling.
During this ritual, none may enter this meditation room
or the channeling chamber in the back.
Please do not forget that.
Now the channeling chamber has been completely cut off from the world.
Let us wait patiently in the main hall.
Hey. Hold on, Granny.
"Granny"?
How come we ain't allowed in that room?
I'm here for work! Journalism!
I can't work like this!
Oh, you are a foreigner?
You have an impressive grasp of our language.
Hey, I'm a native! From the heart of the heartland!
Then I ask that you return to that heart of the heartland.
This is Kurain Village.
If you can not follow our traditions and rules,
we request that you leave.
I... I get it, so could you not attack me with your hair and eyes?
She never learns, does she?
What was that, Wright?!
What's with that look that screams, "She never learns, does she"?
In the first place, you—
What was that noise?
From the channeling chamber?
Wright, that's gunfire!
Ms. Morgan, the key!
There is only one key, and Mystic Maya has it.
What?
We're gonna break down the door, Wright!
Got it!
Dr. Grey?
What is this?
I...
I was murdered...
M-Maya?
That man murdered me.
So I killed him.
What?
This is it!
Lotta! At a time like this?
That's exactly why!
Leave!
Please leave this to me.
Quickly, go inform the police.
B-But...
Hurry...
A phone is in the main hall!
But—
Let's go, city boy!
Let the granny take care of this!
Maya...
Sorry to keep you waiting! The police are here!
District Police Detective Dick Gumshoe
Who called for us?
Huh? You again?
Back at you...
What brings you out here, Detective Gumshoe?
I was in the area for a business trip, pal.
And then, they sent me out to help.
Is this guy the only detective in this world?
Oh?
You arrived faster than anticipated.
I'm Gumshoe, of the Metropolitan Police.
Ms. Morgan!
How's Mystic... Maya?
The Spirit-Severing Technique succeeded.
She has returned to this world.
Let me see her, please!
Right now, she is unconscious.
I am afraid you cannot see her.
Is this everyone who was in the manor at the time of the incident?
Ah, yes.
My daughter, Pearl, was here.
And a guest was in the annex side room.
The annex?
Is it at the back of the manor?
Go fetch 'em, pal.
Okay.
Let's see...
The side room is this way.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Oh... Is it, like, time to start?
The channeling.
Channel—
No, the situation's changed! A murder's occurred!
Oh?
That's, like, a total bummer.
So, uh, who are you?
Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Ini Miney.
Um... At the college, I'm researching and studying parapsychology.
The occult?
I have an acquaintance who knows a lot about the occult.
Wait, are you the one who referred Dr. Grey to Kurain Village?
Yep! Nice to meet you!
So, you were in the side room the entire time, oblivious to the murder?
That's right.
I started feeling sick after lunch,
so I was, like, napping in the side room the whole time!
Napping...
Detective Gymshoe, was it?
Shall I show you to the crime scene?
Please do.
Oh, my name isn't "Gymshoe." It's "Gumshoe."
Let us be on our way.
R-Roger that!
I'll have to question everyone here later,
so just sit tight, okay?
Quit dawdling!
Y-Yes, ma'am!
Did you know, Wright?
Hmm?
She's the little sister
of the spirit Dr. Grey summoned.
Of the spirit?
The nurse who killed those fourteen people, obviously.
Wha—
Her name was Mimi Miney.
As you know, after dealin' a severe blow to Grey Hospital,
she died in a traffic accident.
And this girl's her little sister.
But she referred Dr. Grey to Kurain Village.
And she accompanied him all the way here.
Somethin' smells off, don't it?
Looks like they finished investigatin' the crime scene.
Hey!
Since I have the chance, I thought I'd take a look.
You're more gutsy than you look.
Dr. Grey was shot in the forehead with a pistol?
That's what Detective Gumshoe said.
But before that, he was also stabbed in the chest with a knife.
Ugh. Finish it in one blow, I say.
A hole...
Is it a bullet hole?
Back then, we heard two shots.
Did a stray bullet hit this wall?
Stabbed with a knife.
Shot with a pistol.
How awful, really.
Maya could never do this.
That's Mystic Maya to you!
When the murder happened,
Mystic Maya was not herself.
Wh-What do you mean?
When a spirit descends, the medium loses consciousness.
Essentially, they lend their body to the spirit.
So, if an inexperienced medium channels a strong-willed spirit,
it can cause tragic incidents like this.
Then, Mimi Miney's spirit did all this?
What?
That's ridiculous!
Regardless, it's no use crying over spilled milk.
I intend to help Mystic Maya as best I can, to reduce her punishment even a bit.
We don't know for sure yet that Mystic... Maya is the murderer.
This is an unprecedented murder that occurred during a spirit channeling.
Did the channeled spirit commit the murder?
Or is there some other dark truth behind it?
I'll definitely get to the bottom of it.
Feel free to try.
You are a defense attorney, are you not?
Goodbye.
What an odd granny!
Wait!
What's the problem?
My spiky hair?
What's this pot?
Child
Wait, Pearl!
If you don't mind, could we talk?
I'm Maya's friend.
My name is Phoenix Wright. I'm a defense attorney.
Phoenix...
Then you really are the Nick I've heard about?
"N-Nick"?
Yes. Of course I know of you.
You're Mystic Maya's special someone!
Wh-Wh-What?!
I've heard a lot about you.
How you're the best attorney in the world at breaking into a cold sweat!
What kind of attorney is that?
You're going to rise to defend Mystic Maya, aren't you?
Of course you will!
It's like a beautiful fairy tale.
That earnest look, shining in your eyes.
It must be true love...
S-Stop it!
I'm so embarrassed, I could die!
Child
I'm Pearl Fey.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Likewise.
You're Maya's cousin, aren't you?
Are you two friends?
"Friends"? I'd never dare say that!
I want to be like her when I grow up. I look up to her.
Oh, Maya is?
Usually when people don't use Mystic Maya's title,
I get mad and hit them.
S-Sorry about that...
But if it's you, Nick, it's okay.
Because you're special to her.
Give me a break...
Very well.
For Mystic Maya's sake, I'll help you out.
Er, I hope I can be of some use...
Oh, you don't have to go out of your way.
Just talking to me is fine.
Pearl, where did you get that?
I found it in the courtyard incinerator.
The incinerator?
Yes.
There.
Why was it in the incinerator?
If it'll be any help, I'll gladly give it to you.
Please take it.
Thank you, Pearl.
Wright!
The police are taking Maya away!
Maya!
Mystic Maya!
Pearly... Nick...
To think that the Fey head family would produce a criminal...
How shall we explain this to our ancestors?
Quiet, you two.
Mystic Maya is the representative head of Kurain.
But she was a little too inexperienced.
That is all.
Mystic Maya!
Nick...
June 20 Detention Center — Visitor's Room
Nick!
I finally get to see you, Maya.
What should I do?
I never imagined it would turn out like this!
For now, calm down.
Take a seat.
We're right back where we started, huh?
Remember when we first met?
It was also in this visitor's room.
Yeah, and you saved me.
And I've gone and caused grief for Pearls and my aunt.
Pearls?
Oh, you mean Pearl?
She's a good kid.
Unlike me, she has a good head on her shoulders.
Maybe so.
I'm scared, Nick...
When a spirit descends upon me,
I lose consciousness,
so I don't know anything...
That man died because of me!
It wasn't your fault.
Mimi's spirit did it.
It doesn't matter. It might as well have been me.
Anyway, when is the trial?
Tomorrow, but why?
Then prepare the defense request right now.
But I'm the culprit!
I'm a murderer—
Stop that!
You didn't kill anyone.
So you'll be fine.
Help me, Nick...
Leave it to me.
June 21, 9:48 AM District Courthouse
Nick!
Pearl?
I was so worried, I came.
You came here alone?
Yes.
I want to help Mystic Maya, too!
So...
Got it.
Then let's both do our best for Maya.
Yes.
Detective Gumshoe...
Please don't hate me, pal!
As a detective, I had no choice!
I know.
No matter what, I'll prove Maya's innocence.
It won't be that easy, pal...
After all, Prosecutor von Karma will be conducting today's trial.
Prosecutor von Karma?
B-But isn't he banned from...
You're facing his successor today.
It's Prosecutor von Karma's kid,
who became a prosecutor real young and hasn't lost a trial since.
That's what they call a prodigy, pal.
von Karma...
The legendary prosecutor who went forty years undefeated,
the one I fought with everything I had.
To save him.
Stop it... I have to get over it.
He's dead!
Phoenix Wright...
Ace Attorney
Objection!
Maya is branded a murderer yet again.
She isn't the culprit.
I know that better than anyone!
And a new enemy appears.
In the prosecutor's chair for this trial
dances a graceful whip.
To defeat me, Franziska von Karma came all this way.
She's Manfred von Karma's daughter.
In this trial, I won't be able to slack for a second.
I'll save Maya, no matter what!
Find the contradictions!
Reach out to the truth!
