Where: Furnace Mountain Spectrunk Forest?
Warnings: TBA!!

Recent sightings have been made of an unknown Pokemon within Furnace Mountain - descriptions include a metallic scent, glittering eyes, and flower-like shapes, and witnesses are wary of their intentions.

Due to local tension, we have determined it best to investigate the identity and whereabouts of this Pokemon, to determine if they are a threat to others. We now call on any Pokemon able to weather extreme heat, resist potentially toxic materials, and scent through burning environments to band together for this search.

Report to Polteageist for more information.

[Naturally, Kris is still taking up the lead even as the day drags on. They've all been at it for awhile now, the battles and harsh environment weighing on their party's endurance, but Kris is used to pushing past the point of exhaustion. They don't really have a choice. They keep their nose pressed to the ground, hot on the bounty's trail.

The strange metallic scent is unmistakable. Not only that, but it's getting stronger... so maybe they're a little overexcited when their snout finally bumps something solid. It smells exactly like their target, the strongest source yet. Their little tail wags.

Succumbing to their draconic instincts, they bite into it. It makes a satisfying cronch.

Tastes really bad, though.

... kinda reminds them of something they've had before.

...

...

Calmly, Kris turns around to face their party, something purple dripping from the corner of their mouth. They spit the rest of the chewed-up toxic spike onto the ground in front of them.]

Don't step on these. [or eat them!]

[This has honestly been a hell of a run.

There's a lot of Pokemon out here. Like, a lot. There's a lot of battling to be done, and Emporio's been worriedly looking at their stash of supplies the farther they go along this trail. On the upside he's...pretty sure they're re-entering the woods that border the Furnace Mountain area, so maybe they can afford to dip back into Skull Town and stock up, but on the downside he doesn't actually know if they'll be able to find the trail again if that happens.

He's already decided he needs to ask the others for their opinions on it. Figure out just what the next move is.

And then. He remembers. His fatal mistake.

He took his eyes off Kris for a full 5 seconds.]

....Kris....

[Slowly, Emporio turns around to look at them. And then screams.]

KRIS YOU ATE THAT!?!?
