On the very first day after releasing the Magic Spirits, he began selecting "assistants."
Besides the confirmed "assistant," [Cosmic Brain Monster], he needed to cultivate more assistants capable of helping him conduct experiments.
The Magic Spirits were extremely enthusiastic about becoming their master's experimental assistants.
However, not many Magic Spirits actually met his requirements. For example, although [Magic Beast: Eevee] possessed a sufficiently intelligent mind and strong learning ability, it lacked hands dexterous enough for the work.
So, regrettably, [Magic Beast: Eevee] was passed over!
The next to volunteer was [Sylveon].
Although it likewise lacked sufficiently nimble hands, its ribbons could substitute for hands to a certain extent.

However, neither [Sylveon] nor [Magic Beast: Ditto] could participate in very many experiments. They were far inferior to [Cosmic Brain Monster], whose intelligence was nearly that of a sage.
Therefore, Dark only intended to train them into assistants capable of completing repetitive tasks.
In addition, the two humanoid Magic Spirits, [Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye] and [Magic Beast: God of Destruction], possessed more of a researcher's temperament.

He worked on multiple fronts, conducting different experiments simultaneously.
Some of these experiments were for learning, some were to resolve doubts, and others were for research and development.
He entrusted part of the experiments to the Magic Spirits, while
