[At first, the camera is just pointing into a bush. There's a bit of shuffling, a flash of sleeve and a wide-eyed Skiddo pressing up against Harvey's legs. Then he points the camera around the tree they're hiding behind.

This thing is oozing along down the grass, waving tentacles and tongue in the air.]

Please tell me other people are seeing this thing.

If we ever find out who's responsible for this, I say we feed 'em to them. What the hell...how's it even moving on land like that?

[Oh sweet lord not another one. Kaneki can't help but keep his voice to a whisper as he answers...just in case.]

I saw one of those too. Only...it didn't look quite like that.

[Read: the horror levels were on a completely different sort of spectrum, but both are equally horrifying as far as he's concerned.]

...if you have something that knows Thunder Wave, it might be able to stop it long enough for you to get out of there, if it tries to attack. That's the only thing that stopped the one that went after me and my friend.

[milliondollarpipes]

No such luck.

I'm just hopin' I can outrun it, if it sees me. I ain't about to make my Pokemon tangle with that if I can avoid it. [Battles are fun, but there are some things that are just too far.]

[samsa]

[Attacking definitely isn't preferable, but with these things...sometimes it's unavoidable.]

I understand. Just be careful. It doesn't take much to provoke them.

[milliondollarpipes]

Trust me, I'll be careful. I do not want that touchin' me.

[samsa]

I don't blame you. It hasn't noticed you yet, has it?

[VIDEO]

[adai]

...That one looks particularly horrifying. Is it a Tentacruel and a... Lickitung?

[Rossiu, you're not helping.]

Where did you find it?

[milliondollarpipes]

Just outside of Goldenrod. I wanted to get outta the city for a little bit, there's...

Well, the things still in the water ain't too pretty either.

SORRY I'M SO LATE

[adai]

Oh no, that sounds awful. Wouldn't it be safer to get inside somewhere?

no worries!

[milliondollarpipes]

It would've been.

[He has regrets, okay?]

I was just tryin' to get my goat out for a quick walk. He's got a lotta energy. And he thinks you can eat hotel furniture. [SIGNIFICANT LOOK OFFSCREEN]

[adai]

Ah, I see. That certainly sounds troublesome...

[Thankfully his Pokémon have been pretty well-behaved, but he's heard all sorts of horror stories.]

Are those creatures everywhere or is the city safe?

[Banjou makes a very unmanly eep! he manages to quickly suppress.]

W-what is that thing?!

These things are everywhere. I don't understand what's going on.

[milliondollarpipes]

Doesn't seem like anybody does. Are they all comin' from one place, or are they just...appearing?

[irenicly]

Maybe they're all coming from one place?

I've never seen them before now.

[milliondollarpipes]

That'd make the most sense. But they must be makin' good time, they're everywhere.

[irenicly]

Hell, knowing this place, they're all showing up here from some sort of portal.

That's basically what happened last year, without the dangerous hybrid Pokemon showing up.

[pipers_son]

...I want one.

[Joker no]

[milliondollarpipes]

You're welcome to this one if you're around Goldenrod.

[Harvey don't encourage this]

[pipers_son]

Exactly where I'm situated! Ah- but I'm at work right now.

[Like for the rest of the month. Circus life is busy.]

Don't suppose I can convince ya ta get one...

[milliondollarpipes]

Not a chance.

[Look, he's interested in the new Pokemon here and all, but he's got the good sense not to chuck a ball at one of those things.]

[pipers_son]

Awwwww, s'a pity. Oh well. Maybe it'll still be there later.

Look on the bright side, y'know yer not drunk or on drugs since so many other folks are seein' it too.

Something terrible is happening to Pokemon!

These poor creatures...

[milliondollarpipes]

Whatever this is, it's sick. I mean...at least it doesn't look like it's hurtin'...

[eclipse_of_time]

Perhaps, but can we really even begin to guess? The anatomy...

I can't imagine this is a natural occurrence!

[milliondollarpipes]

No way. Somebody out there's playin' Dr. Frankenstein.

We should probably try and figure it out, the cops here don't seem...I ain't actually sure what it is they do.

[eclipse_of_time]

Who would do such a thing? It' horrific and inhumane...

I wish I knew more about these creatures.
