Shiranui was looking at navigation information about Route 6 over a breakfast of tea and crumpets. He found it was mostly cliffs under an intense sun; but jumping out at him were rumours of a scientist named Cara Liss that combined two fossils together to form one of a quartet of mismatched fossil Pokémon.
