I-I think he's sick...

[When Teddie pops onto the feed, he can't help but look and sound concerned. There's a horrible, wailing screeching noise in the background, but thankfully it's not so loud that Teddie needs to shout. He doesn't leave whatever is making that sound a mystery for very long, the feed pans over to Cho - his beartic - who seems to have her arms outstretched as she holds a very flaily cubchoo.

At least...it's almost a cubchoo. Although it doesn't stay still for more than half a second, it's not hard to see that it has the most horrifying face. Lacking any sort of nose, the usual cubchoo goo appears to be coming out of its...mouth. Cho's giant paws seem to be doing a good job keeping the thing contained, there isn't a scratch on her. Her expression, however, is pretty grim. There's something wrong with this poor baby and she doesn't know what.]

I dunno what to do! But...Cho-chan won't let 'em go until he gets all better.

And he keeps getting angrier.

[In fact the thing was pretty calm at first, which would explain how they were able to sneak up on it. Seriously, Teddie's heart raced when he saw a cubchoo in Goldenrod, only to face utter heartbreak when the creature turned around. If he wasn't so worried about the animal's health, he'd be sobbing in a corner right about now.]

I wanna take him to the doctor, but-

[Before Teddie can finish, the screeching finally reaches levels of unbearable and the creature manages to flail just hard enough to slip out of Cho's grip. Without warning, it goes straight for Teddie, all on camera for everyone to see. The 'gear drops from his hands, the picture nothing but darkness as the camera finds itself facing the ground. All anyone gets is a panicked child's screams.]

G-GAAAHHH! NOOOO! IT'S... IT'S GUMMING ME!

[Gross.]

[TEDDIE WHAT DID HE JUST SAY-]

Teddie! Teddie, are you okay?!

[It's only been a day and Jimmy's already shaving years off of his lifespan over this. ...and he's technically not even alive anymore, but.]

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

[OKAY IN HIS DEFENSE IT WASN'T PINK.

When Teddie returns to the feed, he seems absolutely shaken. Not because he looks to be injured, there isn't a speck of blood in sight. Oh no. But because he appears to be covered in a very fine layer of goo.]

T-T-This was my favorite shirt...

[Video]

[awesmazings]

[The lack of blood has Jimmy visibly relaxing as he holds a hand to his head, wincing.]

Maaybe it'll come out? ...it didn't bite you anywhere, did it?

[Video] 1/2

[kingofthetvworld]

It better come out if it knows what's good for it!

[THESE CLOTHES WERE A GIFT. FROM HIS FRIENDS.]

[Video] 2/2

[kingofthetvworld]

[Oh right, his health. Although Teddie would really like to avoid seeing the damage done -- if he can't see it, it's not there -- the most of it is just a good sliming. If he can be honest, he'd much rather take the gaping wound. BECAUSE AT LEAST THAT'S BETTER THAN THE GAPING WOUND IN HIS HEART.]

I-- er, well, no. He bearly had any teeth in the first place. Just a little boo-boo scratch...

[Nothing an anime-level band-aid can't fix.]

[Action]

[doesntdomuch]

[Teddie this is why Perry shouldn't leave you alone.

Perry just immediately runs to wherever Teddie is to make sure that thing didn't eat him alive.]

You... okay?

[Action]

[kingofthetvworld]

[There are no words, Perry, only tears. Teddie looks over at him, absolutely pathetic, covered in a large amount of goo.

Please. Help.]

[Action]

[doesntdomuch]

[When Perry realizes that Teddie isn't actually in danger, his face changes from a look of worry to an annoyed look.]

... Why.

[Action]

[kingofthetvworld]

Whadda mean "why?!" I'll have you know I didn't ask for this.

[And just like that he's sassing off. At least that got him to stop crying? Hooray for small miracles, how do you do it Perry?]

[irenicly]

What... what is that thing?

[He's got great priorities, here.]

Are you okay?!

video;

[kingofthetvworld]

[Thankfully by now things are a little less...gross. Hooray for friends, etc.]

I thought it was a baby bear. L-Like the same kind I had in the bearginning.

[AND HE WAS SO HAPPY, TOO.]

I'm fine, but I'm worried that baby is real sick. And now he's lost in the great big world again.

[irenicly]

[Between seeing that weird... bear thing and it attacking Tedie, Banjou's not sure what to think.]

I've never seen anything like it before. I wonder if it's a new type of Pokemon?

Maybe you'll run into that one again.

video;

[kingofthetvworld]

[Just the thought of meeting another one causes Teddie to jump. Talk about true terror, maybe that's why they showed up so close to Halloween...]

Nooooo thanks, I'll pass. One is bad enough! I just don't understand it, they're so gosh darn cute when they're...not that.

It's gotta be sick, nothing else makes sense!

(Video)

[baremyfangs]

HEY! Where are you? Answer me, kiddo! (No, this is bringing up bad memories. ANSWER HER, TEDDY.)

(Video)

[kingofthetvworld]

[When he finally answers, Teddie appears -- at least -- to be very much alive. His beartic is currently tending to him, wiping his face with a cloth.]

I'm in Golden Town. Right by the park...

[He means Goldenrod...]

But beartween you and me, I wouldn't go outside if I were you.

(Video)

[baremyfangs]

No kidding! (She breathes a sigh of relief. Kids being hurt hits a raw nerve.) I would've if you needed it.

Are you safe?

(Video)

[stonebird]

Teddie? (Her voice is wavering, concerned, and she is nursing scratches on her cheeks and hands.) It's...okay. If you're safe...

(She'll take gumming to biting.)

(Video)

[kingofthetvworld]

[Teddie was all set to complain, really he was. Had a whole speech ready, all about what a poor helpless thing he was.

That all changed when he saw the video.]

H-Holy moley, what the heck happened to you?

[SCRATCHES? WHY?]

(Video)

[stonebird]

(She ducks her head and touches one of the scratches.)

Bird Pokémon attacked me...and Dove and Cirrus. Dove has a broken wing.

[pipers_son]

...Might wanna fling it out a window.

video;

[kingofthetvworld]

Wouldn't...wouldn't that hurt it?

[As horrifying as it is, killing ugly animals is not exactly something he wants to do anytime soon.]

video;

[pipers_son]

Mate, Pokemon take giant blasts of light and boulders ta the face.

It'll be fine.

[capitald]

[And here we have Ringabel on camera, trying to wipe what appears to be purple goop off his jacket. What a disgrace!]

Ah... Seems we've a bit of an epidemic. If it's any consolation, you aren't the only one who's had an... unusual encounter.

[He turns the camera to a snarling thing, dribbling and purple and thrashing in the grip of a very huffy Dragonite.]

Is everything all right? At this rate, I'd recommend knocking the creature out before proceeding.

[As a Rocket, he's aware of the fusion experiments, but that's classified information that he dare not speak.]

[kingofthetvworld]

Unusual for sure!

[He can't seem to take his eyes off of...whatever the heck that is. As gross as his ughchoo was, the goo at least came out of one place. Not its...everywhere.]

But I'm okay now, that thingy is looooong gone, and Cho-chan was nice enough to give me the worst shower of my life.

Erm, um, maybe...maybe you don't wanna keep that guy around...

[capitald]

Did you handle it humanely? I'm unsure if we should consider these creatures malicious-- their behavior could be the product of stress, though I certainly won't blame you if you used force. It's the simplest method to incapacitate them.

[As for the Mukmeleon... Sigh.]

I've no plans to keep it. It's far too messy for my liking... and the odor is atrocious! I'll likely have to air my room out for hours at this rate.
