NEW LEGENDARY DISCOVERY [REAL][NOT CLICKBAIT][WHAT ARE THEY HIDING]
[A video on StaryuTube has gone viral within the last day. Posted by the official Legendary Seekers channel with the title NEW LEGENDARY DISCOVERY [REAL][NOT CLICKBAIT][WHAT ARE THEY HIDING], it seems to have generated all sorts of chatter on the network. Hmm....
The video opens with one of the lead legendary seekers, apparently unable to hide his enthusiasm. He stares straight into the camera, grinning widely. Apparently, this was a livestream VOD uploaded only a few short hours ago. His words come out all in one sentence with little variance in cadence, as if reading off a prompter.]
Hello, legendary seekers of the world! MynameisJacksonandI'm HERE-- [He points at the screen.] --to inform the world of an amazing NEW legendary with never-before seen footage and evidence gathered first hand by our intrepid field researchers! As you know, Kanto, Johto, and the Sevii Islands have been plagued by Orthworms over the past month, digging holes through buildings and the ground willy-nilly. It was, if I may under-exaggerate, a little disruptive to our day to day lives! But you know what else is disruptive? Having hackers invade your PC because you didn't protect it! That's why today's sponsor is--
[He pauses, squirming in his seat. Then, after a moment or two, throws his papers into the air and excitedly grabs the camera.]
Oh, screw the sponsor! Just roll the clip already!
[The feed switches to some dark, grainy footage of the tunnels, presumably from a handheld camera. The person holding the camera is breathing heavily, as if having exerted a considerable amount of effort to get here. Someone else is in front of the camera, illuminated by the cameraperson's lantern, wearing a safari hat and backpack.]
"Warn me next time we're going to go on an expedition that involves a mile-long sheer descent." [The cameraperson grumbles.]
"Oh, c'mon, you'll be fine. We've got, like, twelve escape ropes between us."
"That's not the point. You know climbing up is going to be harder than climbing down, right?"
[As the cameraperson talks, a strange echoing sound can be heard in the distance. The person in front stops, looking around carefully.]
"SHHH! Do you hear that?"
[The two of them fall silent, lanterns sweeping the nearby area. The light casts harsh shadows, creating strange shapes and making it difficult to see what lurks in the dark.]
"I didn't hear anything. Face it, there's nothing down here. Let's just turn around and get out--"
"HEY! POKÉMON! IF YOU'RE OUT THERE, COME GET ME!"
"Are you crazy?! Stop yelling!"
"Well, if there's nothing here, nothing's gonna happen to me, ri--"
[A loud, deafening roar that blows out the microphone suddenly shakes the camera and causes dirt and debris to fall upon the person in front. Panicked, indistinct yelling can be heard as the camera is pointed down at the ground and the two begin to run--but not before a silhouette is seen.]
[The feed freezes on this still frame, and the presenter continues to speak, a phone number flashing across the screen.]
If you or anyone you know has any information on this strange new Pokémon, don't wait--CALL NOW! We've already been approached by a new sponsor, and we will be conducting further expeditions into the cave. If you join our Patrateon now, you too can join in on the hunt.

Unfortunately, the real trouble starts when he climbs out of the hole. He's caught on camera, and instantly catapulted into exploring fame. Despite his protesting, people are convinced he is a rugged explorer, and for a while, he'll get hounded for tips, stories, autographs and to join all manner of strange and dangerous expeditions.
