Yokai are powerful creatures, usually bearing great supernatural abilities. Yokai often posess objects or bear animal-like appearences to conceal themselves from humans, making them an excellent leaping-off point for a surprisingly large number of Pokemon. Today we talk about some of those Yokai, as well as touching upon the Pokemon created from them. Before I begin, let me give some words of warning.

If you are easily disgusted or offended, this may not be the best choice of reading material.

Anyway, with that, it's time to suspend some disbelief and jump in!
