>>28343861Now that that's out of the way, let's move onto Type:Null. Why would there be a need to create such a Pokemon? From the Pokemon site, verbatim "The reason is that Type: Null was constructed to synthesize the strengths of various Pokémon, enabling it to adapt to any situation....To complete a certain mission, there was need of a Pokémon powerful enough to rival those Pokémon often spoken of in mythology." Said mission has to be nothing less than fighting the Ultra Beasts, described as being a threat to both Humans and Pokemon. Having the power of a legendary truly be in human hands would more than protect the island from the menace of the Ultra Beasts. But if Type:Null was created with such a noble goal, why did Gladion see fit to take it with him when he left the Aether foundation?
Yes, Gladion is all but confirmed to be a former member of The Aether Foundation: his hair cut is more in line with their aesthetic, and his clothes also speak of someone who is trying to immerse themself into a new group without fully shedding his old habits. In addition, seeing how Our Boi cant even afford to give his own lackeys uniforms, how could he possibly have the money to genetically engineer a pokemon?
