News Broadcast

[Now this is an unusual sight. On Friday, just after noon, everybody's gear will flash with a 'Special Report' banner, but rather than switch to some an EV news reporter, Lance's face fills the screen. He seems to be out in the open, somewhere high up. He looks a little tired and rather serious.]

I'll make this brief.

Since this morning, we've been getting reports of new species of pokemon. We believe this to be some sort of variant of Braviary, recognisable by a white back and striking mask of feathers around the eyes.

[For a moment, the upper corner of the screen filled with an artist's impression of this new pokemon.]

Were it only this, I wouldn't be reaching out to you like this, but unfortunately, it seems that some members of this new species are not only extraordinarily violent but are also much more powerful than regular wild pokemon. We've been receiving reports of unprovoked attacks all across both Kanto and Johto and even on the Sevii Islands. The pokemon league and local gym leaders will be stepping in to try and capture these violent specimens to ensure the safety of travellers. However to ensure a swift response to this phenomenon, as well as prevent any injuries, I'm also reaching out to all of you in this matter.

[A small, dark speck appears in the sky behind Lance. He does not notice.]

I'm well aware that there are very powerful trainers among you. As such, I would like to make a request -- please help the Pokemon League capture these pokemon. Please note that we are only concerned with the large, violent individuals attacking people on the roads. We'd like to collect these, not only to ensure public safety, but also so we can study these new pokemon and make sure they aren't afflicted with something that may be making them act in this manner.

[Behind Lance, the speck grows.]

A word of caution! Please do not underestimate these pokemon. We do not yet know what it is that makes them so powerful, but we urge you to not try and handle these pokemon on your own. Even those among you who have become part of the Aurora League would do well to team up if you intend to help.

[The speck grows and grows! Lance, look out! Oh god, he can't hear us, he's on the gear.]

Go in teams of three or four. At least!

Of course, we do not ask for your time and effort without compensation. The Pokemon League will be rewarding those that bring in any of these pokemon and--

[Suddenly the dark shape behind Lance shoots forward, revealing itself to be one of these new and dangerous pokemon. With a screech, it catches a hold of Lance's cape in its talons, starting to carry him off. Lance struggles for a moment, before shouting at the camera.]

Don't worry about me! We'll handle this one. Please go and capture--

[The video cuts off there.]
