"Yes, I am researching Pokemon - essentially, all creatures other than the humanoid races. I wish to know what it is that makes something a Pokemon - that makes the spell detect them, that allows the pokeballs to capture them. Surely there's something at work there! Furthermore, we need to discover all of them, and get as much information as possible.<br/><br/>You look like you're a hardy fellow, strong too, judging by the armour. So tell me, would you be interested in assisting me? You'd need to explore the world, using a magic item I have crafted to help track and identify as many as you can, and capturing them as well, of course. There would be pay involved, as well as the fame and prestige!"
