The human scientists of this land have made a massive, spectacular blunder! As a result of their tireless efforts to exterminate the harmless and largely beneficial Pokérus from the region, they've all but shattered the invisible foundation that keeps Paldea in its Natural Order™! That is why excess villainy is afoot as of late! Without the helpful microorganisms of the Pokérus to maintain the Natural Order™, humans and Pokemon alike will be forever susceptible to law-breaking 'performance issues', and I don't just mean criminal law!"
"P-performance issues?!"
"Anyone who has been vaccinated is susceptible, so that includes you! The humans up top are desperately attempting to reintroduce the virus into the ecosystem via a 'patch' by importing infected Pokemon from other regions, but who knows how long it will take to re-infect everyone and revert the balance between order and chaos?! Be wary, little girl! TO IN-FIN-ITY AND BEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOND!"
With that, Palafin dives back into the puddle from whence he came, disappearing in a flash. 'Is that also a performance issue?' you can only wonder.
>Time to get a move on? How do you proceed?A) Stay clear of every wild vaccinated Pokemon, but stay on the main path. Don't even look at them! Better safe than sorry!
B) Run into an environmental performance issue.
C) Run into a wild Pokemon affected by a performance issue.
