Hello, hello — What a beautiful day it is!
I found myself scrolling a bit today and your lovely image of your Pokémon battling caught my eye! That’s a “Mismagius”, isn’t it? What a state they’re in too, I’m sure they’re great at battling and holding their own!
Buuut — what if I told you I knew the inside secret that Big Pokécenter doesn’t want you to know? The rarest of the rare candies you could possibly find? You see those gems sticking out of your ghostly friend? Bright red, shiny little things, can’t miss ‘em! What if I told you those are a reflection into the Pokémon’s true level?
I’ve got a new order of my Evolutionary Gloss in just recently! One coat of this stuff and it’ll change the color of your little guy’s gems in no time! I can even include the handy little color guide for an extra 500 pokédollars. Red is good, not anything to scoff at — but could you imagine if your Mismagius shifted their gem color to blue with a little bit of your influence? A blue-gemed Magius isn’t anything to scoff at.
Pink? Oh Arc, you’d have people running the minute you stepped into town! That’s why you’ve never seen one with different colored gems — most people have to hide them to not scare everyone away with the amount of unseen power they hold. It’s a blessing and a curse! But, really it‘s just a blessing. Especially for you with this limited time offer, since I’m so kind.
You buy a tube of my patented Evolutionary Gloss and I’ll throw in the exclusive color chart for an measly extra 500 pokédollars! Bringing your actual total to a simple 3,500 pokédollars for a deal that could help level up your little friend in a matter of days! What do you say, yes or yes?
Huh. Scam team huh? Why does that sound so familiar... I'm sure I'll figure it out.
You would think if you're going to have such an obvious name you would at least get a more convincing pitch, or maybe try it on someone who ISN'T a competitive battler that's raised a Mismagius for years, haha. But I guess this is a good reason for me to talk about Anise and some of the misconceptions that apparently surround Mismagius' gems!
First off, no, the color of a Mismagius's gems have no bearing on their power level. They are generally red, though if I remember right there are a few conditions, genetic or illness, that can effect the coloration of their gems, as well as many breeders that breed 'fancy' versions of Misdrevous with different colors and shapes, so at the end of the day this means next to nothing.
More importantly though, the gems are not just ornamental, either!! Those gems are how Mismagius sustain themselves, absorbing fear and negative energy from their surroundings to be able to keep themselves well fed and healthy! Now, while I have no idea personally if these paints or gloss or whatever it is would actually stop a Mismagius from being able to absorb the energy it needs, it WOULD stop you from being able to see the gems, and the first and sometimes only sign of failing health in a Misdreavus or Mismagius is a translucent or clear gem, as the color draining is a serious sign that you need to get your friend to a pokemon center right away!!
All that to say, absolutely not, thanks. Hell, even if it WAS completely safe, and what you said about colors wasn't just nonsense, why on earth would i EVER want to scare off potential battles?? I LIKE battling!! What would even be the point?? If you ever want a demonstration though, you're more than welcome to stop by the Amity Department Store sometime :)
