[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.]

[Oh no, his poor friendly and ridiculously polite coworker. He's kind of a bro.
A broworker. If you will.]
Want me to go in early to cover for you while you... [He waves his hand vaguely. While Kaneki somethings, apparently.] ...all that?
[Video]
I'm really sorry, Dave-kun...it would mean a lot to me if you could.
[He'd tell him no, but he's trying to get better about just accepting gestures of kindness from friends. After all, he wouldn't have offered otherwise.]
[Video]
[WHAT ARE THOOOOOSE?]
[Video]
[There's the sound of something blowing a very loud raspberry from the branches of a nearby tree as he says that.]
Curious might be a better word.
[Video]
Aww, they're cute. What are they actually supposed to be, though. I'm pretty sure flying squirrels aren't supposed to come with stingers.
[Video]
[Skorupi reminds him of that too, but Skorupi and Drapion may as well just be full on scorpions.]
More scorpion than bat, maybe...something I wouldn't want to be on the bad side of, basically.
[Video]
[Video]
[Thinking about it, it's still kind of terrifying if you put it into the context of flying scorpions.]
[Video]
[Flying scorpions might be scary, but scorpionflies, well. Let's just say their stingers are not. Stingers. Precisely.]
[Video]
[Just don't make them mad and you'll be good, probably.]
[Video]
[Video]
[It didn't kill him, at least.]
Maybe it would be in bigger doses.
[Video]
I thought we couldn't die here.
[Video]
[Doesn't mean it can't actually 'happen', though.]
[Video]
[internalscreaming.wav]
Well, that sucks. Do...people know what happens, if you do?
[Video]
Yeah. From what I've been told, you wake back up in a Pokemon Center. ...like what might happen if you lost a battle in the game.
[Video]
Oh. Well, that's not too bad? I mean, at least nobody has to do anything with the corpse.
...Because that would be fucked up.
[Video]
...no, you know what, for once Kaneki is just going to know better and not ask.]
Oh n-no, it's nothing like that. I don't think anyone really even has to do anything. Whatever happens just...happens.
[Video]
[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]
So, yeah, uh, see you at. Work?
[Video]
Yeah. I'll...I'll see you.
