>>29359188To be fair we don't know if this means the people turn into UBs or if they are a manifestation related to them or something or what. Maybe the humans do transform into them but its more of a werewolf type thing and the special ball seperates and 'captures' the infection element, freeing the person? They've already got werewolf pokemon and said that rockruff holds some kind of secret.
OR WHAT IF:
Sun/Moon has a lot of strong alchemy themes. What if they're taking inspiration from some fullmetal shit and the UBs are the humans contaminated after trying to create new pokemon using their own life essence? Making UBs like homunculus from FMA (not brotherhood). Use the UB-ball to seperate and contain the monstrous element like i said above, freeing the person. You have Magearna as an artificial pokemon, maybe Aether is just trying to use another route to do the same?
Also how long is it going to take people to connect that top right UB to Faba?
