Sorry Kikyo, I haven't read this yet. It's late, here at least, and if I start reading it I'll fall asleep. Not because it's boring, but it if look at large blocks of text.

I've underlined the verbs for you. As you can see, every verb in this sentence is describing something that is happening presently. Thus, the term "present tense" applies. But in the majority of the chapter, you refer to things that have already happened with words such as "was" and "warned".
Not so fast, I beg to differ. There's a tense, I don't know what it's called in english, but the best way I can describe it is tenative. Since what is stated is assumed to be pretty much permanent, it happened in the past, but is still in the present, and will be in the future, the tense Laura used is correct. I mean, think of it, does Absol no longer warn humans of danger and do something else? To me at least, past tense sounds funnier than present.
...sorry if that made no sense, like I said, it's late for me...
