since there is sadness, we can feel joy

I have been wondering how many people stayed behind in Discedo and how things are going over there. Would it be safe to go back, even if only for a short while? I need to check on the greenhouse and make sure it's relatively safe. Besides, I left most of my research over there...

[A series of loud grumbles can be heard in the background. Her Pokemon are not sure they approve of her priorities, but she can be a very obstinate Champion.]

At any rate, I'm planning to make a quick trip back soon, just for a little bit to take care of my unfinished business there. I can't assure it will be entirely risk-free, but if anyone else wants to come along for whatever reasons, my Pokemon and I will make sure to offer transportation and protection.

Also, it might be a good idea to arrange a meeting once we have more details on the current Discedo situation. That way, the whole Spero group can decide on what to do next together.

[The above is transcribed so to make full use of the auto-translate function, then the feed is off.]

[The video opens to an image of Cynthia, smiling her usual smile at the camera. There seems to be a little more noise in the background than usual, but we'll leave that aside. For now.]

I have been giving some thought to an idea I had a while ago, and I would be delighted if I could be given some input. See, ever since the arson in the library, we have been left with very little information about Discedo, save for whatever people may have salvaged. In fact, at the time I had a few books with me-- [A short pause as she checks her surroundings, looking for her small stack of books. That's when the camera shifts around to reveal a blue, bipedal jackal-like Pokemon with his face buried in the old tomes.] --ah, as you can see, Lucario is making very good use of them. But that's hardly enough.

[With the camera facing Cynthia again, she goes on.] So, I was thinking that perhaps we could start a new collection of our own, so that whoever may inhabit this place in the future will have somewhere to start! Every little bit is important-- oh! [This is when a sea serpent-like creature pops into view, poking her head to check out the communicator and softly humming in ways that could be translated as "What is this? Are people watching me? Look how pretty I am!"] Sweetheart, I don't think this is the right time for a pageant...

[Another hum later, Milotic wraps her body around her trainer, head on her shoulder.] As I was saying, anything at all would help! Marco is working on a beastiary and I promised mister Gyatso I would include the soup kitchen in this project, but there's so much more to add, from the more mundane things like the restaurant and the school and the greenhouse to the chips and their strange effects on people, that Atropos virus from before and the vaccine-- and that's not even counting what's beyond Discedo, but if the invasion from months ago is anything to go by, we can be sure there's something else out there, somewhere past the river! Has anyone ever gone that far, I wonder? Perhaps it could be a safer place for us to li--

[Garchomp gives a small growl and joins the two, fondly headbutting Cynthia.] ... oops, I seem to have gotten carried away again! At any rate, what does everyone think?

[And right before the feed is turned off, Togekiss pokes his big smiling face in, waving at the camera with a wing. "That's all, folks!"]
