[It's the middle of the day, not long after quests go up that Akechi greets the Grumpearls with a serious expression.]
Greetings. This is Akechi. To anyone newly arrived, I'm a member of the Oran Berries, and I was also among the group exploring the Northern Forest.
[Images accompany of his words of meandering, overgrown plantlife, strange, glowing vines, and luminous mushrooms eerily aglow.]
As there are multiple quests related to the recent fungal infestation as well as further requests to explore to the north, I'd like to give you all my personal insights.
First...
[He raises a wing, feathers folded in such a way to approximate a hand holding up one finger.]
The spores cause heightened aggression. I highly recommend obtaining some form of facial covering to minimize their effects. While I cannot say how effective it will be, reducing how many spores you inhale will likely serve you well in the long run.
Second...
[He raises another feather.]
Be extra careful when removing the mushrooms. If you can dig around them, that will be ideal, but mushrooms have complex root systems called mycelium, so if you want to be extra cautious, it may be worth digging especially deep. The fruiting bodies are their primary means of reproduction, however, so simply removing and eliminating as many as possible while minimizing contact with the spores would be ideal.
[He tries to convey this with little images of the mushroom caps and the roots spreading far, far beneath the soil.]
Ren and I will return to the northern forest to rectify our... mistake. I also fully intend on gathering and eliminating as many of the mushrooms as possible.
Be smart, expect the worst, and we may be able to overcome this unfortunate infestation.

[Obviously, there are risks. Deep sea exploration certainly wouldn't work in his favor, as such a small bird. Likewise with deep, cramped tunnels...
But he can still adapt. He can still make it work. He isn't weak...]
But the curse skills I'm referring to are merely a dark form of magic. The 'cost' is the same as any other magic spell, drawing from my spirit and stamina.
no subject
[ Grudge, Destiny Bond, Pain Split, Last Respects, Memento ... not all ghost-type, but still common things you think about when you think about ghosts. ]
Trying to become stronger is fine. Good, even! But being aware of limitations and focusing efforts elsewhere instead is not complacency. A challenge is one thing. Driving yourself directly into a dead end tunnel, overworking your engine for no benefit to anyone, least of all yourself, is another.
no subject
[Not that it stops a ripple of irritation from flittering through the pearl.]
It's just aggravating. Anasui-san, you, Ingo-san, and Courier Six-san all came as larger, more imposing Pokémon. Why is it that I've been stuck in such a feeble form?
no subject
[ Ingo and Emmet have definitely volleyed at least some theories, but. ]
I don't know what kind of answer you are looking for here. If I say something, you will probably think I am patronizing you. Right?
no subject
[Corvid implies crows or ravens, after all...]
But I would have much rather arrived in an evolved form.
no subject
[ This is for both evolution line and evolution stage. ]
But. Sometimes there are trainers who rush their Pokemon's evolution. Improper training, they do not learn what they should. They do not learn their shapes, their limits, how to conduct themselves. They do not reach their full potential. For some Pokemon, there are certain things that can only be learned and mastered before they evolve.
If evolution is rushed, the training hasty and careless, the opportunity to learn these things can be lost entirely.
[ The Rookidee line as far as he knows doesn't have any notable examples of this, but all the same, there's a point he's trying to make here. ]
no subject
Rushed evolution limiting one's potential... The dramatic changes in form undoubtedly contribute to this.
Right now, he's small and light. The moment he evolves, he'll have to adapt anew...
But it'll be worth it. It has to be.]
I'd like to think I'm doing everything in my power to master this form. I have to, in order to excel.
