[The video that starts here is a bit shaky at first as the broadcaster adjusts his grip on his Gear, taking his sweet time as if there’s something hindering his ability to move his arms properly. Once Kaneki can hold his Gear at arm’s length, the reason behind this is readily apparent.
There seems to be a Pokemon clinging to Kaneki’s shoulder, though it’s more attached to his back than anything, and then a second of the same species with her claws firmly dug into the front of his uniform. It looks like he’d been preparing to go to work when...something stopped him, clearly.
That something happens to be in the form of two Gligar who don’t seem like they plan on letting him go any time soon, and he’s now stuck between...well, a Gligar and a hard place, so to speak.]
Has...anyone else been seeing Gligar everywhere this morning?
[The last swarm Kaneki was directly influenced by was the sudden horde of Mareep that happened. Now, Pokemon that are supposed to live on cliffs and in mountainous areas are all over town, awkwardly perching in trees or nestled on rooftops. Basically any high place they can get to.
As Kaneki talks, the Gligar on his back reaches a claw up to lightly bap against the side of his head with a hissing snicker, causing him to recoil while the other Gligar tugs at his tie, jerking his head forward and nearly causing him to fumble and drop his Gear. All the while there’s a constant growling from off screen where Rikki has been glaring at the pair of Pokemon for the past several minutes, weighing her options and trying to decide if she should leap on one of their heads while they’re still attached to Kaneki.]
I tried offering them some food, but they don’t want to leave me alone...and I really have to get to work soon...they’re not native to this area, so I thought that maybe they’re confused about there they’re supposed to go.
[Meaning they’re using Kaneki as a convenient perch. Or maybe (the more likely problem) they’re just having too much fun messing with Kaneki and making a game out of seeing how long they can follow him around before he finally shoos them off. So far, he hasn’t been successful.
Kaneki sighs, the collar of his shirt coming open as front!Gligar manages to pull his tie apart.]
Okay, maybe I just need to- ah-! Hey!
[The Gear feed turns upward as shoulder!Gligar snatches it right out of his hands, peering curiously into the viewfinder as the camera turns to show the side of Kaneki’s head, and then Rikki and a Vaporeon standing in front of Kaneki, unsure this whole time as to how to help.
At least until the Vaporeon seems to get the idea that, hey, Gligar...is a ground type. And what do ground types not like?]
W-wait, Scylla, don’t-!
[The last thing the feed shows before cutting out is Scylla blasting water at the Gligar by Kaneki’s head, succeeding in getting it to let go of the Gear and Kaneki, but also soaking them all in the process.]

I'm okay. Just cold. ...and in need of a change of clothes...
[So much for getting to work on time.]
[Video]
[Video]
Have they shown up where you are too, Micchy-san?
[Video]
And they have, but my Lucario and Greninja are keeping them away for the most part.
[Video]
[He really needs to change out of these wet clothes.]
They don't seem to be causing any damage at least...they're just everywhere.
[Video]
[Video]
[Case in point.]
I really feel like they just aren't sure what to do with themselves...from what I've read, Gligar are native to cliffs and mountains, not forests.

[Video]
I'm not sure about that. Maybe it only happens certain times of the year, if at all?
[Video]
[Video]
[Because he's pretty sure this happened during the winter, too.]
[Video]
[Video]
Yeah, I don't know if this has ever happened before, then. This is the first time I've seen this many Gligar in one area, anyway.
[Video]
[Wait, that building behind him looks familiar.]
... I thought you were in Goldenrod.
[Video]
[It's a trick that saved his skin when he first got to Johto and makes initial travel faster than normal, assuming you have a Pokemon that can do it.]
[Video]
[How do normal life...]
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
After work, I mean. But you're probably right...I still need to change clothes.
[Video]
[Video]
[And hopefully not get dogpiled by Gligar on the way.]
