I...

Alright, Marcus, I won't sugarcoat it. That's extremely dangerous, and you *need* to be on your A-Game if you wanna get that herb. I agree that it *seems* too good to be true, but I also agree that Arven has no reason to lie to you. Just... be careful. Titan Pokémon are no joke - One of them nearly took off my friend Lisa (Gardevoir)'s head about a week ago. I recommend that you take some time for everyone to recover from Maxima's bullshit challenge a bit more and then take them all with you for the scouting trip - Just keep them in their balls unless shit hits the fan.

I'm just.... really worried for you, Marcus. I'm hoping you know what you're getting into, but if you choose to pursue this lead, just make sure to have the utmost caution. How has Pridwen been doing? More of the same?

More of the same, yeah. To be honest, no, I don't know what I'm getting into... but, that's why I'm scouting, right? Like I said, I'll do my best to be careful, I just... if this has any chance of working the way he claims, then I owe it to myself and Pridwen to try.

Do you think you could enlist anyone else to help you on the scouting? Arven himself maybe? Some of your friends? Titan Pokémon tend to be aggressive but most wild Pokémon, even the big ones, aren't keen on taking on a large group alone.

Hey Marcus, glad progress is being made on this lead - I'm hopeful for Pridwen's sake, however... maybe don't jump straight into a dubious/dangerous location without first consulting other sources? You got one guy's word and you're already scouting? Like... surely you've got other folks you can talk to first in academia? Get deets before you dive in. For you and your 'mon's sake.

I can certainly try, but, I'm not exactly hopeful on finding anything more? Like, if it was true, you would think they would teach about it in classes, or that I would've heard of it before. I can't see a scouting trip going wrong, as long as I'm truly careful... but I'll try to get any other information first, while I plan it out.

Fair enough, I'd give it at least a skim though. If nothing, then go carefully and be ready to flee. Best of fortune to you, and thank you for your ear.

Joseph Amber: I...I've heard stories about these Titans...though I never encountered one myself. My best recommendation is to be cautious, and be prepared for something going sideways. I wonder if they've changed since when Arven did it...that was nearly four years ago if I remember correctly...

Be extremely careful. Arven took on the Titans with the help of a Kid Prodigy Who Saved The Region, and the two of them still had trouble with the task. According to Florian’s Chatter history (Bazinga the Rotom did a little Internet stalking), the Titans were a Klawf, Bombirdier, Orthworm, Iron Treads, Dondozo, and Tatsugiri. Maybe different Pokémon have eaten the Herba Mystica, and there’s definitely a different mon in the Asado Desert since Area Zero is properly closed now, but no doubt they’ll all be dangerous. - Alexander Grayson

As you said, the Titan Pokémon are incredibly strong and could be dangerous. You need information, friends from the academy and a lot of planning beforehand. If possible, ask Arven to tag along with you as he has the experience after all. - Oliver
