Just as proof:
Pokémon Legends Arceus screenshots. Professor Laventon says to the player character: “You’ll recall, of course, that Pokémon possess the odd power to shrink themselves down. With the Pokeballs we craft, we can make use of that power to catch them!”

Apropos of nothing… (Gotham City Garage vol 2)
Natasha Irons stands next to a chained up Batman. She says “That’s why we don’t negotiate with fascists. They got opinions you can’t change. Damage you can’t reach. Hate can fill a wound faster than hope, even if it leaves one hell of a scar. Your empathy is admirable, but it’s also how they play you.” From Gotham City Garage vol 2.

Here are our girls, Bella and Ava. Make no mistake, the floof has one brain cell and the little black dog will attack any vermin that darts across her path.
Bella (left), a black yorkie/chihuahua mix and Ava (right), a Shih Tzu/mini poodle mix. They’re adorable but also look like they might mug you in an alley for a treat.
