You know, I was going to ask whether anyone else has seen these things running around, but that's pretty much a completely moot point by now if the panic all over is anything to judge by.

So at risk of asking a dumb question, I'm going to wonder why these things are so damn violent – apparently everyone's getting mauled all over, when even failed captures don't get up and decide to bite you. Is there a reason these things are so freaked out, or...

[...]

Well, one more question, I guess.

[And there will be an image sent out shortly; it's kind of...well, it certainly is a thing all right, let's put it that way.]

Is this thing okay? It doesn't even have a face, and that's probably why the damn thing hasn't bitten me yet.

[...Welcome to the crazy train, Ringabel, apparently we're not getting off anytime soon. Ginti's still laboring under the general sentiment of "I've got no idea what I'm looking at, but I sure as hell wish I wasn't looking at it"; that said, the information he's gotten is simultaneously useful and...uh, well.]

...I don't know what it says about me, but now I'm seriously considering trying to shove one of those muffins through the gem on this thing's face. Thanks for that, I guess.

Do be gentle! These... erm, unique Pokémon seem to have a bit of a temper. Be grateful yours lacks the odor of some of the others I've seen.

[He'll go ahead and attach an image for emphasis.]

Truth be told, I'm not sure what to make of them, though I'd heard that there was a similar influx of new species this time last year.

[...Holy shit, buddy, what is that even.]

Yeah, it seems really irritated but at least it's not that. I'm just going to consider myself lucky, I guess.

[...Although.]

How many of those things have you seen? The thing you sent me just now - how many have you seen that are exactly like that, or is it just the one of them?

so sorry about the delay. wrist pain has hampered my tagging speed :c

[capitald]

Just the one, though I have seen a remarkable variety of other creatures. Take this one, for instance!

[He attaches yet another image.]

It's possible there are others, though. Has that been the case for your, erm... jeweled friend?

It's okay! I hope you feel better soon!

I haven't seen any others, just that one. Which is why it's so weird to me - usually these things move in swarms, all the same type of thing in one area. They were doing that at the end of summer.

This is just a random assortment of crap - literally, it's random and they sure are an assortment - and things usually don't work like that at all.

[capitald]

It does raise a number of questions. Where did they come from? What is their goal? Do they even have goal, or are they acting chaotically, simply attacking all that moves?

They're certainly unnatural, or I suspect standard Pokéballs would be sufficient in ensuring their capture.
