Ollie had arrived to the fairly good sized pond on top of his Dragonite, which he recalled upon landing on his own two feet. This time, he wore the standard Ranger uniform, though he still had his ear piercings on. His newly acquired Drizzile was on his shoulder as well. He's heard that this Greyson Connors was normally pretty chill, despite being a higher ranked League officer. Still, a good chance to show off a bit. After some basic introductions, it seemed Mr. Connors wanted to sit back and see what he could do. Ollie was eager to do just that.

The pond was home to many Magikarp, and something or someone was feeding on them. Their job was simple. Find out what, and stop it. Preferably nicely, of course. He had already gone over a list of predators for the fairly weak Pokemon, along with other nearby species in the area. While there were a few natural predators around, this seemed pretty excessive and didn't match the MO of them. And so Ollie went around the pond, checking for anything that'll give some clue as the culprit. Whatever it was, it was at least smart enough to know a trap when it saw it.

Based on the remains, he had a hunch just based on the report. But it was just finding evidence of the predator. Having been from Johto, and seen similar instances, he thought it likely that the culprit was a Feraligatr. One part odd considering other bodies of water was either too small for it or too far away to be hunting here. Still, he found the tracks, and frowned. While there was a set that belonged to the crocodile, there was two other sets, smaller, and akin to its pre-evolutionary form, Croconaw. Far as he knew they didn't normally travelled in groups. He tried to search for other tracks. None to be found in the nearby sand or mud. Perhaps spending more time than he had to, he reported back to Mr. Connors with his report.

"The Pokemon responsible seem to be a Feraligatr and a pair of Croconaw, based on the tracks and my own personal experience in finding the remains of their meals. They stayed pretty well near the water's edge, so I think they're already in the pond, just hiding and resting. There's an awful lot of Magicarp at the surface and away from a certain edge. In addition, I didn't see any footprints or any signs that these Pokemon are owned by a trainer. So assuming that those are the culprits, who knows where they came from since this isn't their natural habitat. The Magikarp are very stressed, as are some of the other Pokemon in the area. Even the Pidgeotto don't like coming in to try to pick off a meal. Larger, unusual predators to the area tend to have that effect. However, Feraligatr and Croconaw, despite being on the same evolution tree, tend to not travel together far as I'm aware. That makes this an unusual situation.

I would like to see if my Sharpedo can find out more inside the pond, but I also don't want to overstress the MagiKarp..." Drizzile was barely trained, if that. That one was still battle hungry, and very restless and aggressive. He was hoping calm the little one down with this mission as well. So far, the little fella was doing ok.
