[The video starts in the Archives, of all places. Thanks to an escort from Courier Six, Akechi and Ren have gained access to the library.
By the looks of it, he has quite a few slabs already pulled aside when he addresses his Grumpearl.]
I'm sure you've all spotted the bounties on the Quest Board. Laios-san and I were the ones who connected the recent attacks in the ocean to a Dondozo and Tatsugiri...
Unfortunately, since it preys on small birds, it's not an ideal quest for me to pursue. Instead, I'm far more interested in the other two bounties... which brings me to this.
[He prods at one of the slabs with his foot.]
Anyone intent on taking on the bounties should know what they're getting into. Right now, Ren and I are scouring the Archives for large, ground type Pokémon.
[He looks over the slab, on Mudsdale, but soon grabs it in his talons and flutters it into another pile, presumably of slabs he's already looked at.]
We have a very distinct profile. Nearly nine feet, can move both on all fours and on its hind quarters. Very few ground types fit that size range, and fewer still fit such a stance. Mudsdale is a horse, so it cannot move on its hind quarters, and it's also not a predator.
I also have difficulty believing that a Mamoswine would dwell in the forest, and it struggles from similar anatomical limitations.
[Fluttering to the top of the other pile, he brings down another slab.]
But a bear... now that checks all the boxes, doesn't it? Forest dwelling, able to stand on its hind quarters and move on all fours.
[He projects what he sees on the tablet through the pearl: A large bear with a cloudy moon on its forehead.]
This... ancient Pokémon may be within the profile, but the mention of a strong special attack gives me pause. Nothing on this slab mentions such an ability, and the illustration looks far closer to a physical attacker.
But, I believe it's in our best interest to research as a collective. I imagine multiple teams are already eager to pursue these bounties, and we'll stand a far better chance if we share our findings, so that regardless of who takes down the threat, none of us end up dead.
[ooc: Btw, threadjacking is okay here!]
