Shiranui was wary of the Absol as he knew they appeared to warn people and Pokémon of an imminent disaster.  "Great idea, Liam," he commented after he saw his friend bag a piece of poisoned meat he found.

"Jessie and James are tailing you!" came a familiar voice with a Unova accent that raised red flags in his mind.
"Meowth?  Why are you warning us when you're in cahoots with those [i]baka[/i]?" Shiranui asked.
"Because I'm your Zoroark, that's why," came the answer.
"俺が何処捕獲したか?" Shiranui continued, asking a question only his Pokémon would answer correctly.
"ポケモンの村で、カロス地方。" answered 'Meowth'.
"You're my Zoroark alright," Shiranui said with a smile as Zoro relayed what he heard and dropped his Meowth guise before leaving to speak with the Absol.
