[Akechi addresses the Pearl with his usual calm and poise, disregarding the cloak draped around him. Pay it no mind.]

In light of recent events, I felt it best to inform you all about Umbreon-san. Having spoken to Mightyena-san recently, she informed me that he mapped out the cave system in which we Oran Berries dwell. He actively trains lower ranked members and has played a pivotal part in Pokémon swarms. Evidently, he was an active player in the ordeals with Dondozo and Spiritomb, providing rescue to those in need...

And he volunteered for the good of his guild, not himself.

[He pauses to let that sink in, though his thoughts ripple with an odd air of relief and an undercurrent of distrust toward politicians on the whole.]

Make what you will of that, but I believe that this places him in a position where he could make a fine leader. I've made my vote, but I bear no ill will toward those who favor other candidates.

[...]

That being said, I do believe it may be in our best interest to share our findings amongst each other regarding the recent Wayfinding missions. The lands beyond Death Blood Murder Skull Town are wild, unpredictable, and full of mysteries...

For instance, the temple in the peaks of Heavy Downmoor suggests the area was once far more populated despite the wild winds. I'm quite curious how the rest of the region compares...

[A little Sunkern wearing a skull-patterned beanie comes into view.]

Glad you saw the obvious choice. He's the strongest and most qualified. We need someone like him in case of another Froslass incident. Meanwhile, Malamar is brainwashing people and I heard some suspicious things about Lurantis.

[He keeps his thoughts and emotions carefully controlled for now. It seems he's been practicing since Need peered into his mind and (lack of) soul.]

Heavy Downmoor seems normal. I got a good map of the caverns underneath. More of those crystals that show weird visions, but otherwise, nothing interesting.

[Following this is a spark of anger at- and shockingly, something resembling concern for- Siffrin (Shinx version). He does not elaborate and carefully quashes this.]

There's definitely more to that place in general than meets the eye. A guild much like our own was set there and fell to ruin. If anyone else here has seen anything interesting in this regard, definitely tell me or Akechi here.

I have to wonder for whom the temple shrine was built... Was it a Legendary Pokémon, perhaps? Ingo-san or Emmet-san may have more information on the subject, given their depth of experience...

[He'll wait to see if they chime in, but it is a curious thing all the same.]

We had to fight against violent winds to reach our destination, but the temple itself provided adequate shelter for us to map the terrain.

[friendlyflower]

It might be the same Pokemon that called us here, if that's the case. [... or maybe the same one who caused the calamity? Or is the same Pokemon doing both?

Either way, he's sure that a legendary Pokemon had to have brought them here. He turns his attention outward to see if anyone has anything to add, Ingo and Emmet especially.]

[truthdecided]

It's possible, although we shouldn't draw any drastic conclusions yet.

[He thinks back on what Emmet told him before... Akari as well.]

Akari-san mentioned being chosen by a godly Pokémon. Arceus, if memory serves, but there are other Pokémon with powers rivaling deities.
