[When the video starts, there's the noise of something jangling but nothing in view that could be causing it. Anybody familiar with today's swarm can probably guess what it is, but there's no sign of the keychain Pokemon...things. Just a very confused looking Kaine.]

Okay, I get that this place is weird and all and that the animals make no sense, but what the hell is the deal with this?

[He lifts his free hand up to the camera, showing that he's holding a Klefki by the...keyring? And the source of the noise is made obvious since it's angrily shaking its keys at Kaine.]

Seriously. This? This is a freakin' keychain. An angry keychain.

[He's not even sure where he's going with this anymore. He'll just think about it for a second while the Klefki continues to jingle its keys in anger.]

Uh...look, since everyone I met's really into this whole Pokemon training...thing, does anyone out there want...

[He stares at the Pokemon for a while trying to think of what in the hell to call it.]

...keys. Does anyone out there want keys? Because I don't. And they're all over the damn place here. So yeah, please come over here and catch them. All of them. Because they're annoying as hell.

Actually you know what, if you want these things, I'll send them to you. Just tell me where to send em. Because the sooner things quiet down around here, the better.

... That's the stupidest looking thing I've ever seen.

[theotherother]

Yeah, it's definitely up there. I mean I've seen some stupid stuff in my time-

[He was around for 90s comic book designs, so he's definitely seen some stupid things, but...]

This is definitely in the top five.

Have you seen the supposed ice cream Pokemon yet?

video;

[theotherother]

You're making that up. Please tell me you're making that up.

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Well, I haven't seen it myself. Was only told about it.

[theotherother]

Maybe they made it up.

[Or at least he hopes that's the case. Because ice cream should not be a living thing.]

[explosivecombat]

Oh, I don't know; they're actually somewhat adorable.

[...Kimblee, no.]

[Video forever]

[theotherother]

They're keys. Keys are not adorable.

[He can kind of see it, but like hell is he admitting it.]

[killer_sweets]

It's been a while since I've seen an new animate object type of pokemon, that one wins the prize for weirdest so far.

[Video]

[theotherother]

There are more of these things?

[He really hasn't seen very many Pokemon.]

[Video]

[killer_sweets]

Yeah, we have magnets, candles, ice cream cones, honey combs, sludge and so much more.

Like I said though this one is totally new to me.

[Video]

[theotherother]

[So many questions, he's not even really sure where to start. Or if he should even ask them.

...

Okay, he'll ask the most important one.]

Ice cream? So,..what happens if it melts? Does it die?

[Video]

[killer_sweets]

It's an inedible ice cream cone. It seem to hold up pretty well in the heat.

[Video]

[theotherother]

So it just looks like ice cream then. It's not actually ice cream because you can eat ice cream...right?

[He will never understand this Pokemon thing.]

[artificialrose]

That sort of Pokemon actually seems like it could be pretty useful... I don't mind taking one off your hands.

Especially since they seem to be bothering you so much..

[theotherother]

Great. It's yours.

[That'll be one gone...and seemingly infinite ones to go.]

How would it be useful though? I mean even if you need a place for your keys, I'd suggest something that's not...alive.

[artificialrose]

You don't think they could make a good guard dog?

...Well, guard Pokemon.

[theotherother]

Not really. I mean there's dog Pokemon right? I'd use those instead.

[artificialrose]

But you can't put your keys so easily on a dog Pokemon.

[theotherother]

Why would you even want to?

[...oh.]

Never mind, I get what you're saying, but it's still...dumb. I mean these things are tiny, and I haven't seen them do anything except make noise. You'd be better off buying a burglar alarm, a dog, or calling the cops. Anything that isn't leaving your security in the hands of...of a keychain.

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

Ah, there's somewhere else that's experiencing an invasion of these things?

[...honestly, it's actually difficult to tell whether he's amused or sympathetic

maybe both...]

They're... really quite intolerable, and I'm hoping they follow the pattern the rest of them and disappear after today.

[video]

[theotherother]

Yeah, I agree completely.

[..wait.]

Where else is this happening? I thought it was just Pewter since nobody else mentioned being overrun by angry keychains.

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

Just Blackthorn, as far as I know. I don't think there are too many other people here what would be discussing it with the network, so that's not much of a surprise. I wasn't quite aware there were counterpart swarms in Kanto, though.

...well, I hope the museum's keeping an eye on things, given that they might have a propensity for stealing keys.

[video]

[theotherother]

Yeah, there's been three, I think. That I've seen, anyway. Those weird staring things, some furry crystal...thing, and then the keys today.

[Yeah, he has no idea what to call any of these things.]

And the security at the museum should be able to handle it, right? They're just keychains. And you'd figure the people here would be used to weird crap like this anyway.

[Because he does not want to have to go save a museum from keychains. Nope. Not even remotely going to go do that.]

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

You mean, those geode-like creatures with the long ears? That's... honestly rather strange. I wasn't expecting Blackthorn and Pewter to synchronize like that.

Anyway, you are right --- I wouldn't underestimate them on the basis that they're keychains, admittedly, because you really have no idea how these things will ever turn out, but I suspect that they're at a fairly low level.
