Reno was prepared for any response to his psionic slap to the side of the Tangrowth's head. A flurry of swipes, bashed by rocks, devoured by the thing. When the Tangrowth popped out a quartet of new arms and began to spin around like a tilt-a-whirl gone mad, he was not prepared at all. Too surprised to teleport out when it might have been safe to do so. So now he got the full experience. With each loop, Reno felt himself being stretched further and further by the pure motion even as he siphoned the chi of the attack. Finally, an idea crossed his mind. He couldn't feel these forces with his left arm, so he began to make the limb to try and hit the Tangrowth again. What Reno was not expecting was a small pop followed by a blur of steel as his arm went flying out of the whirlwind that appeared to be building around them. Well, there went the only plan he had. Along with most of his g force resistance and soon to follow, his lunch.
Nova and Harleen were content to sit and watch the Tangrowth spin up to full speed, having a small chuckle at Reno being thrown around before the Power Whip limbs extended to begin slapping the pair at high speeds. Nova would backpedal with a flap of her wings before staring at the spinning Pokemon. She was supposed to be the most rotationally adept Pokemon, not this piece of overgrown brush. Giving a rapid series of flaps towards the Grass type, Nova watched as a Hurricane began to build up around the Tangrowth, spinning the opposite way of the tilt-a-whirl. Put that in you pipe and smoke it.

SubonicXP "Ah, well I guess that's good. Better to be ignored than abused I suppose." Sub commented. "I have a question for your new Weavile though. Because let's be honest, you're pretty much its trainer now." He smiled. "Your Blitzle was once shadowfied. Also, the Steel Snatcher used a shadow Houndoom that once belonged to Resix. Think you can find out if that Weavile used to be a shadow Pokemon too? I thought maybe you could ask it some questions.For that matter, do Pokemon even know if they were once infected? That's a good question..." The last question seemed to be more like him pondering that thought. "I have a theory about something."
Tristen looked towards the bed, the Weavile sitting at the head end of the bed, on top of pillows, staying out of the way just as it has been, listening in on the conversation between Sub and Tristen. Weavile wasn't Shadowfied, as far as he knew, and Blitzle was only recently purged of the virus just before being snagged away...which actually did beg the question about the theory. "Um...what...theory?" Tristen asked. As insightful as the boy tried to be, this one was lost on him.

The gale would slowly but surely cause the Tangrowth to stop spinning, the giant mass of vines coming to a wobbly halt. For several seconds the vine Pokemon just stood there, dazed and exhausted. With one last groan the giant Grass type would fall over face first onto the ground, knocked out cold as it finally succumbed to its wounds. Cue victory music.

"The theory is that the Steel Snatcher is only going after Shadow Pokemon, or at least Pokemon he perceives to be Shadow Pokemon." Sub flat out told Tristen. "We can confirm four Pokemon under his ownership at some point. Houndoom, Weavile, Ditto, and your Blitzle. That Houndoom was certainly a Shadow Pokemon and your Blitzle used to be. The Ditto is probably one of his own originals, or rather it wouldn't be practical to have a Shadow Ditto in the first place. And if Weavile was once a Shadow Pokemon that would further support my theory. Think about it, don't you think it was odd that he snagged your Pokemon and not Darts's when his was obviously the more powerful one, a Gengar? It's obvious he wasn't after just rare Pokemon, he snagged a Houndoom from Resix. Not exactly the most rarest of Pokemon. Sure, your Blitzle is very uncommon in Orre's part of the world but I don't think that's why he snagged it." Sub explained to the boy.

"But wouldn't that mean he would have some way of telling the difference?" Tristen asked. "I mean, the Snagger isn't a hybrid that I could tell. Maybe he has some sort of device? Or maybe..." Tristen looked back towards Weavile. "Did you try to tell him that Blitzle was a Shadow Pokemon?"
The Weavile would think for a moment, hesitating to answer. By all rights, rather if the Weavile liked it or not, he was with a new trainer, and as such had to tell him. Blind following the group leader mentality dictating the Weavile's reply. "Weavile." The Weavile spoke up, shaking its head no. "Vile weavile."
"In the Pokeball the entire time, huh?" Tristen thought for a moment but then realized something. "Why would he snag Blitzle anyways?" Tristen then asked, a question directed to Sub. "He wasn't a Shadow Pokemon."
"Vile weavile." The Weavile would answer instead.
"What?"
"Weavile villlle."
"Well, yea, he used to be. And can't go back. It was awful when Blitzle was. I'm glad that its no more."
"Weavile vile weavile wea." The Weavile then said.
"...that...might make sense...a little..." Tristen said, looking back at Sub, but then a realization. "But wait, if that's true, you're not a shadow Pokemon either, but he was using you at one time to snag them, wasn't he? Wouldn't he-"
"Weavile weavile."
".......oh...I...didn't...why didn't you say that before?" Tristen wouldn't get an answer for that one.
