"Right. So what we'll be doing today is surveying the interior of the isle. Just to be clear, are we all familliar with the new Pokemon species and subspecies that have been appearing?"

No.27428
>>27426"Good enough. Now, the purpose of this study is to document what we believe to be a large number of these Pokemon concentrated around this island. Hopefully we won't need to fight, but we should be ready to defend ourselves. Fortunately, through… extensive fieldwork, we already have significant documentation on what to expect. Give me your Pokedexes… oh, except, Cello."
She plugs them into a laptop and seems to be manually pushing an update.
>>27427Don't you have something you might want to show them?
"That's right. Recently a lot of previous unobserved Pokemon species were discovered in large numbers, and they've been appearing all over the continent. The one you saw, the Tapu? It's one of those, and exceedingly powerful. You got lucky, I think."

Willow takes the Geodude off your hands.
>>27434Yes, you updated it already, remember? The prof even secretly emailed you a file. You might not want to go around showing the others those weird Pokemon.

It's quite amazing to be in such a remote location. With the ocean left behind you, all that's in front of you are plains, and the mountains in the distance. The apparent emptiness is chilling, but if you focus, life brims under the surface, as always.
