[There's a certain feeling of things coming full-circle as Yagyuu hands over the Ditto, making sure Niou has a fair grasp on it (slippery little thing that it is) before completely releasing it; he'd loathed the things in the beginning, both for their mischievous versatility and their ridiculous hue, but he'd tolerated them because of Niou and eventually had grown to appreciate the many uses a...creative mind could put one to.

See? Look. Instant screwdriver. Hey, make sure no one's coming while I get these hinges off, huh?

Hiding it as a watch, of course, had been his own variant. The other Ditto he'd known had preferred to try out various shapes — glasses, watches, wrist weight bands, hats — but he'd mostly managed to coerce his own into behaving up until now.]

Consider it your introduction into the wide range of versatility available to you.

[He motions slightly to the Eevee Brigade, to Thing, and then to the Ditto in turn.]

A variety of innate potential that settles once it finds its best fit; a trickster whose illusions conceal his true form; a partner that becomes its choice of target...subject to its own physical limitations.

[A faint smile crosses his face.]

There's a whole array of tricks just waiting to be played here, Niou-kun. Doesn't that suit you?
