One of the best parts of Pokémon Go is the motivation to explore and the unexpected workout some people get, but going out on new adventures can also lead to some unique and interesting situations like this one involving some sketchy guys at 3 a.m., an onyx and the police.
Redditor SlothOfDoom, a “40 year something white guy,” decided to wander around his neighborhood at 3 a.m. to find some pokémon and check out a pokéstop. He shared his epic story on Reddit about how he ended up being spotted by some “sketchy looking dudes,” followed by a cop showing up with an unexpected twist in the end.
“So I get there and wander around a little checking out the stops and rustling around in the tall grass, then decided to go a few blocks away to see a couple more stops when I hear from the darkness a “Yo, my man!,” the post read.
“Turning, I see two sketchy looking dudes, sitting on a bench in the dark. I must have walked right past them without noticing them. Great,” he continued, sounding a bit worried of the sudden turn of events.

Sure enough, he found an onyx Pokemon right where the two guys directed him to. The three began chatting and ended up forming a Pokemon team together. The rest of the epic evening is detailed in the actual post below:
