Pokédex(?) Update:

"Some days he is cognitive, aware, and almost docile. In fact, given his intelligence and telepathy he might attempt a vague conversation too, and has before. But he barely remembers anything by the next day.

Other days...more primal instincts take over. He can only communicate with strangled groans, whimpers, and growls. He'll even snarl and hiss if an unfamiliar face wanders too close uninvited.

Worst case scenario, the shorted circuits in his cerebral wiring force his brain into attacking blindly. The pokemon center next door is still undergoing repairs four weeks later after the last incident.

There is little-to-no control over his own behavior, and his constant posture has me thinking he is always in some form of pain. The odd breathing patterns and horrible scars on what's left of his face and body certainly support that theory.

I also can't seem to get a clear picture of him without some kind of radiowave interference from his core system, even when he's holding still. My security cameras have only been able to capture NVG images when he's awake at night and wandering around aimlessly, sometimes standing in place for hours at a time. As a result of that, not even the ghost types want to be around him it seems.

I don't know what he is, where he came from, or what made him this way... But it's obvious this poor thing is only an echo of his former self.

Further research pending."

This is possibly way too specific BUT for any of my urban/contemporary fantasy or magical realism type reader girlies who are also eagerly following the whole Kendrick dragging Drake situation then BOY do I have the rec for you

White lady steals a magical golden comb from the Jamaican river spirit River Mumma to open a Jamaican restaurant in Toronto, consequences occur, and she gives the comb away and our protagonist has to set off on a Wizard of Oz style quest across the city to try and get it back from (and i swear I'm not lying lol) DRAKE who's refusing to return it because he's a fucking hack lol.

Yes it's a weird book but I really enjoyed it and I genuinely don't think there will ever be a better time to recommend it lol

"It likely has -- or had -- a limited AI that had pre-programmed responses in case something like this happened," Maria said. "Which, considering their pokemon-like appearance, was probably a possibility when it comes to dealing with Trainers."

Benta's remark about her observation of the creature's color and Team Rocket's appearance had her nodding slightly. "Team Rocket are known poachers, so your assessment of hunters isn't that far off. The problem is that Giovanni wanted power, and in order to get that power, he looked to Legendary-class Pokemon. It wouldn't've ended well if he'd managed to get his hands on you."

She grabbed the page as the printer spat it out and frowned at the mess of ink at the bottom of the page. "Looks like this is the last bit of information we're getting, unless we give the printer some maintenance. Doubt we're going to find the parts we need here, though...let's see...."

Maria scanned the page for information once, twice. On the third read-through, she muttered. "Okay, this spread a lot faster than I was thinking. Area Zero in Paldea..." She spun her holographic globe and frowned at that region of the world. "Think that's the giant crater here, although I've never been." She put her finger through that part of the map. "Wonder how it looks now, if they were having trouble out there. And what kind of facility it was she'd managed to find."

She marked the crater in a different color from the recorded sightings of the pokemon lookalikes, signifying it as an area of interest, then handed the page over to Benta for him to inspect.

"She gave them a name -- Kornitek. At least we have something to call them, now. And she wanted Professor Birch to watch over Greavee. Considering the state of Unova, though, I'm worried what could've happened to Hoenn. Kyogre and Groudon can be grumpy on the best of days, even with Rayquaza keeping an eye on things. If these things disrupted the world to this extent, it could be completely underwater, nothing more than a desert, or a chaotic mix of weather systems by now. Or something worse."

Judging by Maria's furrowed brow, she really didn't want to think about what Hoenn could look like.

Benta watched in muted fascination as the map appeared. He was still in the process of learning that Maria was quite literally full of surprises, however theoretically mundane compared to her capacity for battle earlier.

And it certainly helped him follow along her additional train of thought.

"A disrupted connection might have certainly caused what amounts to an equivalent of desperation I suppose..." he ventured. Then he thought back. "Though, there is also the chance it wasn't as erratic as we consider it. After all, in spite of its state of existence, it did seem to know how to process things like anger and danger-sense. Which feels more than just hostile." He couldn't deny the anger especially. To be angry, one had to know what it meant to be frustrated at an obstacle. And what it meant to think. If their source of power was disconnected, would such a strangely synthetic thing still know the difference between stress, non-stress, and have its own volition of how to act? Or- like Maria suggested- would it spiral out of control for the sheer lack of direction?

She almost lost him at the "color scheme" statement though. "Unfortunately I did not retain enough of my encounter with them to know one way or another," he apologized. "I only thought they were hunters, until Hana clarified otherwise. She did mention they had a base in Kanto, but their reasons for being in Johto was admittedly unclear beyond their interest in me."

He raised a paw to his muzzle and gripped his chin with a frown. "Even so...these creatures were in Johto too..." he added in the midst of thought. Is there a connection between the two in that region as well..?

The printer let off a shrill whine as it finally finished printing the next paper. As suspected, it was much longer in terms of text unlike the previous pages. This had been written from scratch and was more thought out as opposed to the abrupt sentences of the S.O.S reports.

URGENT NOTICE

Name: Hana Baker

From: [UNKNOWN OR REDACTED] PALDEA

To: Pokémon Trade Center UNOVA

Recipient: [UNSPECIFIED]

I'm sending this message in regard to the reports of the dangerous pokémon being spotted in multiple regions across the world. As a fellow researcher we can all agree it's typically our duty to investigate these things and find out what they are and why they're behaving so rashly, but I think it's too late to look at this matter as carefully as we would have any other day. I've lost contact with the rest of my team who left to investigate Area Zero on a potential lead, and I'm still on the surface looking into the other half of the suspicious documents we found. Unfortunately, after uncovering something alarming, I've come to a total impasse. To be perfectly blunt, the situation has gone from bad to utterly insane. I'm at my wits end and I have to move fast.

These things are spreading like wildfire and taking whole cities down with them. I've barely been able to find a place with sustainable power, but- considering who it belongs to- if I stay here too long and get spotted I'm going to be in serious trouble. For better or worse this facility is outfitted with a GTS, so before I leave I'm going to take advantage of the situation and send my pokémon to your trade center since it is currently within one of the few designated safe zones.

The monsters that have been terrorizing the other regions are akin to the picture I uploaded from my surveillance camera. Keep in mind however that they don't all look alike and can change shape at any given moment even though the image of Porygon appears to be their default. Their bodies move like sand and are entirely weaponized. Due to the nature of their attacks and general makeup, I've decided to call these creatures "Kornetik". And to be clear in absolution- we cannot fight them. These are beyond what anyone can fend off. If you do happen to spot them your best chance is to run. Don't cross them. Don't engage them. Normal pokéballs don't work on them either, so it is effectively useless to waste resources attempting to catch one without the proper tools. In the short time I have had I've been able to create a pokéball with magnetic countermeasures to contain at least one, and it should hold out if handled soon enough. I'm sending it to your lab for further research, but trust me when I tell you- DO NOT LET IT OUT. Get help from the Pokémon Center to scan it from the inside of the ball and compile whatever information you can. There should be something we can do if we can just figure out what fuels their energy and what gives them all this power. We MUST find the answers before everything is wiped out. It is my deepest regret I have to leave that task to you. If it weren't for the horrible things I've found during the investigation, and the disappearance of my team, I would do it myself. Just do what you can.

In the meantime, you could say I have a date with another bunch of monsters fixing to solve the Kornetik infestation by throwing an even bigger problem at it. Considering we're out of options I'll have to try sneaking into their apparently recent headquarters in [REDACTED] and handling it myself. The region is a long way off. But if I don't do something, anyone left would be lucky to get out of this mess alive.

I will update as often as I can. Contact Professor Birch and tell him to take care of Greavee for me. Above all, be safe.

Smudges of ink lined the bottom of the paper. And in spite of its continued shrill whining and backlog of other numbered faxes, the printer was malfunctioning and running out of ink. This was likely the last thing it was going to print out.

Ruki: Alright... Here is the kitchen.

Yuma: Ugh... I hate this place...

Ruki: Let us find your book already and hope we can leave soon.

Yuma: Haah? Wait... Ya already found yer book!?

Ruki: Naturally. My character is the owner of the farm and she spent her time either in her office, responding to important emails, or in the living room. It was not very difficult to find it.

Yuma: Huh... I wish I was that fast. Had no luck looking through anywhere, even if my character is supposed to be the caretaker of the house.

Ruki: Well, Maria did say your main quality was in your food. Specifically your bolinhos de chuva.

Yuma: So many weird names... And I can barely walk around in this stupid dress.

Ruki: Well... I agree this is not exactly the clothing I would choose to wear... However I prefer this over Kino's fate.

Yuma: Pff... Yeah, guess yer right.

Hm? Heh, would ya look at that. I found it after all!

Ruki: Good grief... Who would place a book inside an oven?

Yuma: Who cares? Let's go already. I hope everyone is done finding theirs as well. I'm so done with this stupid game.

Ruki: Yes, let us get going then.

WAIT HOW THE HECK HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS??? >:0

TUMBLR- YOU KEEPIN THINGS FROM ME- I WILL FITE

For real tho, this is adorable, and I love it 🫶

To be honest, when I saw Benta, I thought “damn he looks like Ruby! And if you think about it like that, it feels like they are brothers!” the only thing that distinguishes them is that Benta has blue eyes, and Ruby has red ones
