Greetings, friends of the network!

I see we have a new contest eagerly approaching us. How very spectacular!

[The video shows Shadowmaru in his... closet. If you could call it that. It's more like a repurposed spare room. His Type: Null is also visible, calmly sitting like a Null Loaf in a corner. Every so often... it shivers. And glitter sheds all over the floor.]

Therefore! It is, once again, my pleasure to offer my services to you all. Should you require costuming, look no further!

[So saying, he whisks something off a hanger, displaying it for the camera. Of course it's purple.]

I have everything to ensure you stand out.

Only these ones, from what I understand.

Sylph Co? They made an announcement some time ago, offering these up for adoption. Purely for companionship, rather than competition.

Wait, they are just making Pokemon in labs to be companions? Aren't there like... hundreds of them already?

[sassymaru]

As I understand it, there are those in this world who want pokemon that cannot cause damage or destruction. People who cannot provide battle enrichment... thus these darlings.

However, I could be mistaken. Once I took in Oberon, I was preoccupied with its care and not its origin.

[nightyorb]

Seems to be that if you'd want a pokemon that can't cause damage, you'd make something a little... smaller. Maybe cuddlier?

[Riz doesn't know much about these things though. Why would you want something that can't do damage.]

[sassymaru]

[He shrugs. Grandly.]

I can't say. All I know is that this poor creature was deemed unsuitable for its quirk. Which just so happens to be a quirk that delights me.

A perfect arrangement.
