[When the video starts, you can see the Pokemon Professor reading his journal in his bed before he turns his attention to the camera.]

Hello there. I actually need some help on another expedition, although I have to warn you it might be a little dangerous.

As you all know, there is this reality TV show where a young girl of the family owned a pet that originally came from outside the fences. It's been in a rabid demand lately and they want some people to capture the breeding pair of these creatures and bring it back to the Quarantine.

[He even shows the photo of that said creature that he captured from his phone.]

But the main reason I want to take this mission is that I'm practically worried about what kind of creature they have. Not to mention how did they tame a dangerous monster like the one in the show. This won't be easy, but I assure that I may find the truth behind it.

Of course, I'm willing to accept anyone to aid in this expedition. But I have to warn you that it may be dangerous since we don't know what are we dealing with, so if anyone is willing to risk themselves for this mission, just contact me if you can.

Until then, I'll try to prepare for the expedition. But I hope you will join me very soon.

How soon are you talking? I probably won't be able to help until next week, but if you need someone on the Guard to bring you past the wall, count me in.

[He's going to need a break after everything last week.]

I think I would start the exhibition by the 8th or 9th of August. As long it doesn't interrupt the upcoming festival.

Festival, right.

[Of course this week is going to be another big event, why isn't he surprised? So much for that rest.]

Sounds like good timing to me.

You're really not doing a great job selling this.

Yeah. That way, we might have time to enjoy them before the expedition.

How are you on combat though?

Well, this is my actual first time on organizing an expedition like this.

Besides, I can't ignore the fact that we're dealing with a mysterious new creature.

You're either going to scare everyone off or attract the wrong kind of people.

[Guess which one he is.]

[He does have a point there. Maybe he'll try to work on these kind of announcements in the near future.]

Well, it is dangerous and I can't just ask anyone to help me without knowing the risks.

[Ed's just going to ignore that enjoy thing and try not to think of ways to skip out on this thing.]

I wouldn't be on the Guard if I didn't have some experience, I spent four years in the military back home and killing monsters was kind of a way of life in the place I was before this one. We had to, to survive.

I kind of had a reputation back home for my skills, if that means anything to you.

[Judging by his tone of his explanation, he realizes how this young man has been through all of his life.]

I see. But as for the killing part, I think we have to hold that off until we know what we are really dealing with. Our mission is to bring back a breeding pair after all.

It wasn't exactly a great experience, but it was that or starve. Wasn't really too interested in the latter.

[And Izumi had already taught them about hunting to survive. One month on the island, one month in Purg. Monster crabs didn't taste anything like fish and rabbit, but one learned to adjust.]

If we don't need to kill anything, I'd rather not - but if something's dangerous, I can if it comes down to it.

[Frankenstein knows a little about branding. At least, what a bad pitch sounds like. ]

I think anyone can figure anything outside the city is 'dangerous'.

What's your plan for dealing with this 'monster'?

Since Brother is going, count me in! And is it true you help people find Pokemon?

Glad to hear that you're on board with this.

And yes, I actually teach an elective night class about it at Riverview University.

I need to know its habitat and what kind does it belong to.

If it's tameable, we may able to catch it very easily. If it's dangerous, I feel there is more to this strange creature's origins.

Either way, I feel killing it as a second option might not be a viable option.

Makes sense. I haven't encountered anything dangerous for a while, but I feel your current experience in the Quarantine outside your job is very peaceful for you, right?

[Well, this is why he is organizing this expedition in the first place.]

If it is dangerous, we might try to kill it so it won't harm the citizens. But only if it's very dangerous and untameable.

[Peaceful? Not really.]

I might poke my head into things the average person doesn't. If I just sat back in the city, and pretended nothing else was going on outside of that wall? Yeah, it would be pretty peaceful, but that's not my style.

[How could he, when being on the Guard showed him just how much there was going on beyond the wall?]

We'll figure that out once we find it.

You have a good point there.

[Well, that's what Perimeter Guards do, he guesses...]

Alright. I'll let you know the exact date to this expedition. Until then, try to prepare yourself for the worst.

I don't know if I can defend myself with just my Garchomp, though.

What kind of what does it belong to?

[What is this guy talking about?!?]

Killing is always an option.

Namely the race of the creature as well it's behavior to humans.

[Sycamore then sighs in dismay at her last suggestion.]

Hold on, even though they are dangerous creatures doesn't mean we have to kill them without any reason than being dangerous.

[Frankenstein comes from a place where running people over is a sport, not self-defense. So, yeah, the bar's pretty low on his end.]

...if you say so. But I'm not going to allow it to kill one of us.

[Well, that's the reason why he needs some people to make sure that doesn't happen.]

Alright. I'll contact you when will the expedition take place. Just be prepared until then.

My brother and I are used to having to keep an eye on someone that can't defend themselves.

[He's not worried.]

What's a Garchomp?

[He'd mentioned it before on the network, and Ed had sort of noticed that post but- he hadn't really been paying attention.]

I see. I can understand your reasons then.

[Hmm... Well, if he may.]

Garchomp is known as a Mach Pokemon. It's a Dragon/Ground-type Pokemon and it's a final evolved form of Gible.

If you want, I can also give you a short description about Pokemon.

[That has his attention. His eyes go wide at the word Pokemon, but he composes himself immediately, before speaking again.]

Yeah, did you just find it or do you actually know anything about them?

[Asking for a friend.]
