Yeah, I've noticed a lot of harsh things in the battle tree. See below, two screenshots I took three and a half months ago waiting for this exact occasion! That worker's going to get fired and divorced, but this man's going to die and it's ALL MY FAULT! Oh, wait, all the other old fogeys of the world are going to take vengeance on me. So I guess that evens out?
Geeze, they sure take battling serious in Alola. (If that's not the region that it takes place, I truly apologize. I haven't played the later games.)
Alola seems like a pretty harsh place, from Pokémon openly killing/eating humans and other Pokémon, to this.
Pokémon has always had some pretty morbid NPC's, but I don't think a lot of us catch on it. Doesn't make it any less disturbing though.
Noooo don't eat my Zapdos egg! lol. But really, do people eat Pokémon Eggs in place of chicken eggs?? Also I couldn't find a image of it, but the classic "I EAT BLACK SLUDGE TO TRANSFORM MYSELF"
