[It's a fine week for egg hatchery, isn't it? This video is also about that. Rather, it's a video of an egg hatching.
It begins with an egg shaking on a table of a nondescript room. Seconds later, it begins to crack and glow continuously until...]
Hm?
[Whoever is holding the 'Gear right now sounds confused. Why? Because a Magnemite just hatched from that egg and it's already floating several inches off of the table. Immediately the 'Gear holder places it down in front of the Pokemon and leaves it like that. The video of the new Pokemon rolls nearly silent, save for the faint sound of pencil on paper in the background, until the 'Gear is picked up again.
The person behind the 'Gear remains out of sight with the camera trained on the Magnemite, but begins speaking. His voice is calm and soft.]
This was supposed to be a personal video for future reverence, but I believe what just happened warrants sharing. [A hint of disbelief comes into his tone.] I was willing to overlook the strange occurrence of mammals hatching from eggs, but this is on another level. This Pokemon is clearly some sort of machine. I cannot begin to list all of the questions it raises, but the most important ones are:
One: how are machines able to produce offspring and,
Two: why are they doing so by laying eggs of all methods?
And for my own reference, are there other mechanical Pokemon like this?
[And don't get him started on wondering how it's floating on its own.
There's a slight pause, and then an exasperated sigh. He can't believe he actually had to ask those questions.]
I attempt to explain one ridiculous oddity of this world and another even more ridiculous oddity appears. This world truly is full of puzzles with no solutions.
[With that, the feed ends.]

[Some time after he finished his post and wrote some more notes on the mysterious Magnemite, Dimitri decides to properly introduce himself to his other coworkers. The only ones he has really interacted with so far are the others in the Goldenrod labs. He figures there are many more out there.
So! This time he actually shows his face on camera since introducing yourself doesn't really work well otherwise. He's looking as tired and solemn as ever.]
Greetings. I am Dimitri Allen, a scientist working in the laboratories at the base in Goldenrod City. Since I have yet to meet many of you, I wanted to make a proper introduction. My specialty is in the study of space-time, but I am also proficient in working with machines and to an extent, bioengineering.
Why am I telling you this? I am currently open to small projects. If you would like something built or need work done on one of your creatures, I may be able to help. Please respond if you have any questions. Thank you.
[Short and to the point, but that's how he wanted it. He has to start somewhere if he wants to work up the ladder.]

I've never seen living machines before, so I don't know how else they would reproduce. I know that Golurk and Magnemite aren't male or female though. I'm not sure how you talk about a genderless Pokémon. I call Golurk "it" and it doesn't mind, but other people call them "he" and say that calling them "it" isn't nice to do.
[The background has been changing from the inside of a cave to a short tunnel, then to a cave entrance, then whipping around to show a forest clearing instead of Apollo. It wobbles a bit as he pulls out a Pokéball off-screen, then a ball flies through the air and pops open to reveal a Golurk. A Golurk who's at least 12 to 13 feet tall instead of the usual 9. It fidgets slightly and gives a soft "Lurrr". It's body language is unmistakably that of a shy person who's just become the center of attention and is trying to be uninteresting. Apollo's voice comes from off-screen.]
This is Golurk. When it hatched it was a Golett who was a little shorter than I am but came from an egg the same size as the one that Magnemite came from. It's a Ground- and Ghost-type Pokémon, so Normal-, Fighting-, and Electric-type moves don't do any damage at all to it. It likes punching things, and it has five different punching moves. It's really strong, but it can't move very fast. We've been training so that it can move faster. It can learn Fly, too, even though it doesn't have any wings.
[There's a brief delay, then Golurk's hands and legs retract into its body and its thrusters come on, kicking up a cloud of snow that blocks out the image for a few seconds. It hovers in the air for a bit, then turns off its thrusters, extends its hands and legs again, and drops a few feet to the ground with a loud thud, shaking the camera slightly.]
