"That attack better knock Golisopod out or its Emergency Exit ability will trigger," Shiranui thought as he watched the battle, all the while puzzling over Team Skull's role in the Aether Foundation mystery.
"With all due respect, Jiraiya, I'm kind of with Liam on this one," added Shiranui, "Though I appreciate your efforts to subdue them to get these disguises. They'll be easier to sneak past if they're knocked out."
"Aura will help with the stealth factor and they look like they can handle the subduction part as well," Shiranui stated. To Liam he asked, "Who's on your team?"
"Nayamashii and Bastille can handle the distraction and the subduction parts respectively," Shiranui continued, referring to his Salazzle and Liam's Palossand, "Any questions?"
"If Plumeria is leaving, that would leave Guzma vulnerable to attack," stated Shiranui, "But then again if we charge in while Plumeria is gone we may fall into his trap. The best way to do this is through stealth, distraction and subduction."
