Gotta Catch 'Em All: The Truth Behind Pokemon Poachers

    This dream is more an example of how detailed my dreams are, because there's no real plot except for me running around, trying not to kill or be killed, in this alternate reality.  When I dream my dream self is typically knowledgeable of the world it's been dropped into medias res.  So this post is really just a description of a bizarre alternate world my brain created; consequentially, this is a short post.
   Imagine a world where the Pokemon games, films, and TV shows never existed; it's a sad world indeed.

Admit it.  You're making this face right now.
But in this world Pokemon are very real and very coveted, but only the rich because they are the only ones who can afford the means to get the Pokemon.  You see, unless you have a specific gene you can't see the Pokemon, because they vibrate at a very high speed that most people can't see.  So killing the Pokemon makes it visible to everyone else, and everyone else wants to get their hands on a Pokemon.  The wealthy hire out those with the gene, called descries, before they are hired, and poachers afterward.
    Mostly every mother wants their child to be born a descry because of the ludicrous amount of money they can make as Pokemon poachers.  But some descries, like myself, have a hard time considering killing these creatures.
Especially when they look like this.

    But the demand for stuffed Pokemon has become so high that descries who are not working are hunted down and forced into finding Pokemon for the hunters and the rich.  If they refuse to comply they are tortured and their families are threatened.  You may ask why descries don't just hide what they are, but genetic screening has made that impossible.  So, having real Pokemon actually causes a lot of bad things to happen; they're just too cute and awesome, and until recently have had no natural predators so they never saw the "gotta catch 'em all" attitude coming.    

    So I suppose it's a good thing that the closest we are to having real Pokemon are these things:
