TYPE: NULL applications

A blast of cool lobby air greets you as the glass doors to Silph Co. slide open...

The first floor of the building is elegant and polished, a sprawling plane of shiny tile and tasteful decorative plants. Employees in sharp white uniforms bustle through occasionally, but it's clear that the company's main business takes place on the floors above, blocked off by stern-looking guards.

Fortunately, before you can wander off and end up... who-knows-where, you are beckoned over by a cheery receptionist.

"Welcome! Hello!"

She stands at a counter, two stacks of paper and a cup full of complimentary Silph Co. pens set neatly on top. A screen behind her rotates through a series of photos; some of Type: Nulls engaged in amazing battles, but also some featuring Type: Nulls in various homey situations... playing fetch with their trainer, tugging a rope toy around with a Growlithe, cuddled up against a family's young child...

"You must be here for our Type: Null programs." She gestures at both the stacks of paper. "Are you here for our Beta-Tester Program or our Adoption Program? Please make sure you fill out the correct paperwork!"

Regardless of which program you are here for, there is a lot of red tape to go through. Thankfully, the employee is there to answer your questions and point out any fine print with a beaming smile. Another employee, meanwhile, fetches you something to drink and registers your Trainer ID number.

SILPH CO.

Thank you for participating in our Type: Null Beta Tester Programme!

Silph Co.'s legacy is carried on the same shoulders as the finest minds in the world, collaborating day and and day out to better our understanding of both the world around us, and the incredible creatures we share it with: Pokemon. Ever since introducing PORYGON, the first man-made Pokemon in history, Silph Co. has continued to make groundbreaking advancements in the world of genetic engineering. After many years of intensive research and testing, we are proud to finally unveil the project currently known as Type: Null.

Type: Null is the working title of our newest man-made species of Pokemon, a fierce, faithful, and fully-customizable companion for trainers from all walks of life.

We are now ready to move to the next stage of development: beta testing. In the brief time that the program has been running, beta testers have launched Type: Null research forward like nothing ever has before. New and exciting discoveries are being made by ambitious trainers and their Type: Null partners every day! Volunteer Trainers who have 6 or more Indigo League badges are eligible to receive their very own Lv. 25 Type: Null prototype to raise, battle, and bond with.

Please fill out the following information for our records.

TYPE: NULL INFORMATION
1. Type: Null's Name: Talos
2. Desired Type: Grass
3. What function do you predict Type: Null will serve on your team? I don't fucking know. I've seen one literally once. It had some sick dance moves, but I don't think those translate to offensive or defensive prowess. I'll figure it out, though.

Would you like us to RNG a glitch for your Null: Y!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have been approved to train Talos the Type: Null! Its type is Grass!

If you have checked "Yes" on Question 5 of your Beta Tester Application, please remember to report any unusual experiences with your Type: Null HERE!

Unfortunately, it appears that Talos has a strange habit of occasionally oozing sticky sap from all over its body, which has a tendency to trap Cutieflies. There is seemingly no rhyme or reason to when this happens. ~~Also, its paws smell like weed. All the time.~~

Silph Co. thanks you for your support, and hopes you will enjoy getting to know your new companion on your Pokemon adventure!

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have been approved to train Axe Dog the Type: Null! Its type is ~~Fiting~~ Fighting!

If you have checked "Yes" on Question 5 of your Beta Tester Application, please remember to report any unusual experiences with your Type: Null HERE!

Axe Dog has a rather odd habit though. When it is feeling happy or joyous, it starts racing around, jumping into the air, twisting its body, only to abruptly change direction before racing in another direction. This often ends with it just flopping heavily onto its side.

Silph Co. thanks you for your support, and hopes you will enjoy getting to know your new companion on your Pokemon adventure!

TRAINER INFORMATION
1. Trainer Name: Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
2. Trainer Age: 24, as of this past winter
3. Trainer Designation: Trainer
4. Badges Earned: 8
5. Briefly, please describe your reasons for participating in this project. These creatures seem as though they could benefit from a companion and partner who will work to find what makes them happy, whether battle or otherwise. Also, I do not like their helmets, and believe those should be removed.

6. Do you agree to report any unusual findings back to Silph Co. via the provided number so that we may continue to improve this Pokemon?
Yes / No

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have been approved to train Ciannwn the Type: Null! Its type is Fire!

If you have checked "Yes" on Question 5 of your Beta Tester Application, please remember to report any unusual experiences with your Type: Null HERE!

Like all Type: Nulls, Ciannwn has a bit of a glitch to it. It isn't apparent at first. In fact, considering the strange things some of these creatures gets up too, Ciannwn behaves and moves like a regular, proper pokemon. You almost come to expect it doesn't have a glitch!

That is, until you get it in a dark place and realise Ciannwn actually glows in the dark. Its mismatched body parts glow in a mismatched manner, with some giving off more light than others, but there isn't an inch on this Pokemon's skin that doesn't glow red in the dark.

Silph Co. thanks you for your support, and hopes you will enjoy getting to know your new companion on your Pokemon adventure!

TRAINER INFORMATION
1. Trainer Name: Claude von Riegan
2. Trainer Age: 25
3. Trainer Designation: Trainer
4. Badges Earned: 8 Johto badges
5. Briefly, please describe your reasons for participating in this project. The idea of custom-making a living creature is ~~concerning~~ interesting, and I want to see if it's really possible. And if it is, then any data that makes the process work more smoothly is valuable, right?

6. Do you agree to report any unusual findings back to Silph Co. via the provided number so that we may continue to improve this Pokemon?
Yes
7. Do you still accept the responsibility of training your Type: Null even if it changes form?

You have been approved to train Calabrian the Type: Null! Its type is Fairy!

If you have checked "Yes" on Question 5 of your Beta Tester Application, please remember to report any unusual experiences with your Type: Null HERE!

Calabrian has a bit of an unfortunate glitch in that whenever it is feeling highly emotional (both positive and negative), it starts to shed glitter. Just. So. Much. Glitter.

Silph Co. thanks you for your support, and hopes you will enjoy getting to know your new companion on your Pokemon adventure!

TRAINER INFORMATION
1. Trainer Name: Felix Fraldarius
2. Trainer Age: 24
3. Trainer Designation: Trainer
4. Badges Earned: all Johto badges

6. Do you agree to report any unusual findings back to Silph Co. via the provided number so that we may continue to improve this Pokemon?
Yes
7. Do you still accept the responsibility of training your Type: Null even if it changes form?

TYPE: NULL INFORMATION
1. Type: Null's Name: Blutgang
2. Desired Type: Steel
3. What function do you predict Type: Null will serve on your team?
Depends on how well it responds to training. If it does well, I anticipate adding it to my gym rotation along with my other Steel types, under the watchful eye of my Aegislash.

I, Felix Hugo Fraldarius, certify the information provided is complete and correct to the best of my knowledge. I also certify that I am not employed by or affiliated in any way with the Aether Foundation or person(s) associated with the Aether Foundation.

You have been approved to train Blutgang the Type: Null! Its type is Steel!

If you have checked "Yes" on Question 5 of your Beta Tester Application, please remember to report any unusual experiences with your Type: Null HERE!

Peculiarly, Blutgang keeps floating upward, then dropping suddenly to the ground. While this may be a bit disruptive, it gets around just fine otherwise.

Silph Co. thanks you for your support, and hopes you will enjoy getting to know your new companion on your Pokemon adventure!

^* Absolutely a lie.

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have been approved to train Hangdog the Type: Null! Its type is Steel!

If you have checked "Yes" on Question 5 of your Beta Tester Application, please remember to report any unusual experiences with your Type: Null HERE!

Oddly, Hangdog seems to have a nose for snooping out buried or hidden objects. It will relentlessly pursue that which is hidden, digging for hours and hours if it needs to, unable to be dissuaded from its task until it recovers what it desires. Most of the items it finds are trash...but, hey, it seems happy about its prizes.

Silph Co. thanks you for your support, and hopes you will enjoy getting to know your new companion on your Pokemon adventure!

TRAINER INFORMATION
1. Trainer Name: Lupa
2. Trainer Age: 2? I don't know. Adult.
3. Trainer Designation: (Trainer)
4. Badges Earned: Zephyr, Hive, Plain, Fog, Mineral, Rainbow, Marsh
5. Briefly, please describe your reasons for participating in this project. These are created to fight, just as I was. If I can only give one a chance to discover its true self, so be it.

6. Do you agree to report any unusual findings back to Silph Co. via the provided number so that we may continue to improve this Pokemon?
Yes if the Type: Null agrees.
7. Do you still accept the responsibility of training your Type: Null even if it changes form?
Yes

TYPE: NULL INFORMATION
1. Type: Null's Name: Sahasrara
2. Desired Type: Steel or Poison*
3. What function do you predict Type: Null will serve on your team?
ie; primary battler, secondary battler, will not be using for battle, etc. It will be part of the squad, and determine its own future.

I, Lupa, certify the information provided is complete and correct to the best of my knowledge. I also certify that I am not employed by or affiliated in any way with the Aether Foundation or person(s) associated with the Aether Foundation.

I give my permission for any of this information to be verified.

Would you like us to RNG a glitch for your Null: Y! *And Lupa isn't putting down a desired type ICly, so pick whichever of Steel or Poison that suits the glitch best! (In addition to Sahasrara being the crown chakra, Lupa is naming it after a stupidly tall tower he knows as the Karma Temple. It's where AIs are created, a needlessly complicated maze inside guarded by robots, and creepy as fuck. (CW: for cannibalism mentions, nudity???, and general creepiness)

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have been approved to train Sahasrara the Type: Null! Its type is Poison!

If you have checked "Yes" on Question 5 of your Beta Tester Application, please remember to report any unusual experiences with your Type: Null HERE!

Unfortunately, something went a bit wrong during the production of this particular Null. They are very friendly. And very loyal. And also have six legs. Yes, for whatever reason (and the scientists at both Silph Co and the Aether Foundation have tried very hard to explain it) Sahasrara has a pair of bug-like legs in between the normal front and back legs. The legs are far too short to reach the ground, and mostly lay folded against Sahasrara's stomach, but they can move, and even have some limited strength for gripping things.

Silph Co. thanks you for your support, and hopes you will enjoy getting to know your new companion on your Pokemon adventure!

The scientists understand if Lupa'd rather have them create a new Null instead. They leave the choice up to him.

Oh Sahasrara is perfect. Look at that friendly sweetheart with extra limbs for hugging!

TYPE: NULL INFORMATION

If you have checked "Yes" on Question 5 of your Beta Tester Application, please remember to report any unusual experiences with your Type: Null Null HERE!

Unfortunately, something a little strange happened during the production of this Null. It looks the same like regular Nulls. It certainly doesn't do anything strange like shed glitter. It doesn't suddenly phase out of existence or go stiff as a board when startled. But, well.... it talks.

Mind you, it cannot actually speak and convey its thoughts fully! Rather it talks like a chatot (or basically, a parrot) would talk. It can learn random phrases with uncanny likeness and repeat them. It might even eventually be able to connect said phrases to specific concepts. And if Bo were to really, really put enough time into it, she could teach it to speak properly but that is far into the future. Right now, this is just one Null who you definitely do not want to curse around, lest it picks up on that.

Silph Co. thanks you for your support, and hopes you will enjoy getting to know your new companion on your Pokemon adventure!
