[It's been something of A Week for Kaneki, and this morning just further complicated things.

Kaneki never thought he would ever make a post like this, and now he can't help but hate that he has to. So he makes a few contacts privately first before sending a brief message to the network.]

Chie Hori has gone home. Please let me know if you happened to get any of her Pokemon. I won't take them or anything, I just want to see if any of the others are still out there.

Thanks.

[It's probably best that he's in the middle of traveling for once, because he really doesn't feel up to seeing anyone else in person right now. But if being in this world has done anything for him, it's made him get better at talking about things like this.

So. There's that.]

[Text]

[There have no doubt been plenty of people broadcasting their displeasure at the appearance of these creatures that have shown up, and even more talking about strange changes that have suddenly begun to take over their bodies within the last day or so. With each passing hour, the affliction seems to have affected more and more trainers.

At this point, though, Kaneki isn't interested in complaining about the situation on the Network, so he instead has a different question to ask.]

How long do you think this will last?

[That's assuming, of course, if this will even wear off...]

[Action near the edge of the city]

[Staying indoors is a solution that can only last for so long when your body is rapidly changing beyond your control. It started slowly as all things like this seem to at first, beginning with his aching leg and traveling outward from there to the rest of his body. While it wasn't particularly painful any more than the cut had been, it was an ache that settled into his bones in a way that was a little too familiar for his liking.

It wasn't like he had a whole lot of time to think about what was happening, at any rate. His first reaction to the change was initially to contact someone, but that never made it past being just a thought. For some reason, talking to anyone while like this was too daunting to think about, so he didn't. By now, though, he's wondering if maybe that wasn't the best idea.

Kaneki eventually has to leave his hotel room and wander outside thanks to a myriad of tentacles that now protrude from his shoulders and back, making it difficult to avoid undue property damage from being indoors. Not to mention the thick, purple substance that occasionally drips off of them, only to hiss and sizzle wherever it lands. At least going outside closer to dusk and away from the town's center made it less likely that he'd be spotted...maybe. None of his Pokemon are out with him, either, all either in their balls or back in his room. His Gear was left behind as well, so anyone trying to reach him right now won't get a response.

But now that he's out here...he honestly doesn't know what to do. He's had a day or so to actually quietly panic about the situation in private as the changes really took shape, leaving him at a bit of a loss afterwards. He doesn't want to be alone, not really...but he hasn't even gotten to a mirror to see what he looks like. He can't imagine it's good, and just not knowing for sure has his hands (which are blessedly still intact, compared to some) shaking a little at his sides, particularly when he lifts one up to hesitantly run his fingertips along the hard substance that has grown from the crown of his head down over his forehead and the bridge of his nose. It doesn't help that the growth has made it significantly harder to see in any direction that isn't straight on or slightly to either side, meaning that he wouldn't even be able to see if someone decided to approach from behind.]

[It's pretty cloudy and rainy today, and since he's had the day off from work today, how is Kaneki choosing to spend it? Entirely with his nose in a book, clearly. He likes rainy days like this, anyway. It's not terribly stormy out, but just enough that the rain can be heard hitting the roof of the hotel lobby as he sits with a book open on his knees and his head in one hand. Other than the rain the lobby is quiet, so he can sit and read while Rikki lounges draped like a scarf across the back of his shoulders.

After some time he puts the volume aside in exchange for his Gear.]

I've been reading some books about the Kanto region, lately. Most of them talk about the different cities there, but they all mention the native Pokémon at least once somewhere. I found one book that looks to be nothing but a reference guide for Pokémon living in Kanto.

But I found one Pokémon in particular that seems interesting. Sableye, the Darkness Pokémon. It does sound...ominous, from that description, but here's part of one of the Pokédex entries listed for it:

"Sableye digs the ground with sharpened claws to find rocks that it eats. Substances in the eaten rocks crystallize and rise up to the Pokémon’s body surface."

Does that mean that this Pokémon's body is embedded with gemstones? I read that they can only be found in Mt. Moon, and I'm not sure what sorts of stones you can find there...but it sounds like a Sableye could be living with almost any type of precious gem as a part of its body, depending on what it's eaten. It made me wonder if, for example, someone who was very rich could feed their Sableye nothing but emeralds or diamonds...would that alter its appearance over time?

If anyone here owns one, I would be interested in hearing more about what they are like, if you don't mind.

[After a few minutes he sends another short text.]

This is a bit...unrelated, but I also wanted to ask...does anyone have any suggestions for traveling if you don't have a Pokémon that can fly yet? I know there are certain Pokémon large enough to ride, but I'm not sure which would be the best for that sort of thing.
