As grateful as I am that it's no longer raining animals down from on high, it's debatable whether this is much better.

[And there's a shot of the interior of a florist shop – one that's normally well-kept, from the look of it, though the "normally" is a bit marred today; it's not quite bull-in-a-china-shop level of disarray, but it's obvious someone's been going through the flowers with reckless abandon today.

Or, well, something, given that the next shot is showing the area behind the counter; that...well, that certainly is a pair of very young-looking and clearly sleepy goats back there, all folded in on themselves and solidly out cold.]

Don't misunderstand me, they're adorable, but they're making it somewhat difficult for me to work.

As for the more important matters, for those who care: I'm in Goldenrod City for the time being – are these things everywhere, or just here? And it's worth noting that, like with the cats and dogs from earlier, they're not anything I recognize, either.

[And Kimblee can be found in that florist shop for the better part of the day today, actually, if anyone wants to speak to him in person; this is apparently just something he's going to do with himself when he's not terrorizing the network. It's mundane work to be sure, but it's surprisingly calming; granted, if you ask him to arrange anything for you, it's likely going to be very passive-aggressive if he doesn't feel you're being creative enough in your requests, so tread lightly lest you hand your beloved something that translates to "SORRY ABOUT YOUR TASTE."]

I'm somewhere over Ecruteak right now, and I don't see any of those... leaf-goats? It's a little hard to tell, though.
Do they do anything other than sleep and destroy shops?

If I had to take an educated guess, they'd obviously be a grass-type, though I don't know what sort of things they actually do. These just happened to find their way in here, but my luck tends to be a bit like that.

You'd know them if they were around, however - they're a bit of a plague today, at least as far as Goldenrod goes.

The thought of an all-you-can-eat buffet must have been too difficult to resist, even if it's almost like cannibalism. At they don't look hostile in that picture.
The little moving spots down there don't seem to be moving in swarms or running in terror, so I'm assuming Ecruteak is goat-free for now. Maybe they'll migrate north soon?

Ah, that's possible, isn't it? Although that begs the question - do you see any signs of the previous swarms, or have they seriously just vanished into the aether?

Completely vanished. The white dogs should be very visible in grassy areas, and until about midnight they kept falling on us even up here. But now? Not a single trace of them. It's almost as if they never existed.

Did you see where they were originating from in the first place? You couldn't get above them?

I tried, even though I couldn't see any possible source. For one moment I actually thought I'd managed it, and then I got a faceful of terrified poképoodle.

[...oh dear.]

You're braver than most, flying in weather like that. I'm not sure how well-advised it is, but I can appreciate what goes into the attempt.

I'd say it was one of the ten worst ideas I've ever had, but that would be a lie. But it's not so bad, now that those unknown species are just walking like normal four-legged critters. Though I'm starting to wonder if I'll see weird new birds around tomorrow.

Well, I wish you luck on your travels either way; may it be relatively free of strange birds for the duration.

Going anywhere in particular, or do you just not like remaining in one place for very long?

Thanks. I was mostly trying to get away from our unusual weather, but now that it's done I was thinking of enjoying the beaches. Weird Pokémon or not, summer isn't going to last forever, and I want to see if poodles can learn Surf.

They wouldn't be the strangest things that can, but I have to admit you have my curiosity up now.

Frankly, considering everything else that can learn Surf, if these things don't I'll be surprised and disappointed.

[...that was totally supposed to say text too]

...if it makes you feel any better I do text so often that I do action dialogue in courier nowadays

Typing all those HTML tags for nothing. How sad.

I know, right.
