"You went first last time, I'll go first here" stated Shiranui.

"Hear, hear," Shiranui agreed, studying up on Gym Leader Nessa.

"I'd do it, but I'd have to take a break from Pokémon training for how long it would likely take," replied Shiranui.

"You hit that nail on the head, Liam," Shiranui whispered back. Being an expert on disguises due to his ninja training he agreed that Jessie and James were experts in the art. "Even Prof. Kukui could disguise better than Rose." It wasn't helping Rose's case that he was surrounded by fans seeking his autograph.

"You can find Lombre and Dewpider around here among others," Shiranui stated, "Or if you're looking to go fishing you can land Magikarp, Goldeen or Chewtle. Of course you may land something else as well."

"Yes, we should," answered Shiranui, pointing out the town of Hulbury on his PokéNav app. He felt his mind being read and after hearing a high-pitched mew he saw an Espurr poised for battle. "Alright, Espurr, I accept your challenge," he said to the Espurr in question, "Kuuyu, I choose you!" Shiranui sent his Rookidee out and the battle was on. Espurr started with Fake Out and Kuuyu flinched from the hit. "Kuuyu, start with Hone Claws!" Espurr fired off a Confusion and Kuuyu felt the attack before brandishing her talons, increasing her Attack and Accuracy.
"Now, use Power Trip!" Espurr let off a loud mew as it used Disarming Voice, causing Kuuyu to crash land. The Rookidee slowly got up and let off a loud chirp before she starting glowing. Kuuyu grew two feet in height and the glow subsided to reveal a Corvisquire. Shiranui quickly scanned Kuuyu's new form with his Rotom Phone.
"Corvisquire, the Raven Pokémon. A Flying type and the evolved form of Rookidee. Smart enough to use tools in battle, these Pokémon have been seen picking up rocks and flinging them or using ropes to wrap up enemies." Letting off a boastful squawk, Kuuyu swooped in and struck Espurr for triple the normal damage, leaving Espurr on its last legs. "Poké Ball, go!" Shiranui threw a Poké Ball at Espurr and the psychic kitten was drawn in. The Poké Ball shook once, twice and thrice before it snapped shut. He named his new friend Nekomata and swapped Zoro out to make room.

"Possible relative?" Shiranui speculated, following Liam outside.

Shiranui looked up Toxel's known locations on his phone. "According to this, Toxel are known to be found at Route 7, Bridge Field, Giant's Cap, Hammerlocke Hills, Motostoke Riverbank and Stony Wilderness," he stated.

Shiranui had witnessed the battle and was reminded of Liam's heritage including his family's famous wrath on seeing Pokémon mistreated. He shook his head when the hoodlum tried to take a cheap shot at Liam, breaking one of the unwritten rules of Pokémon training. "If that were me, I'd have had Saisei take her out," he mused.

"That was strange," Shiranui commented, "What was in your bag that got Farfetch'd riled up?"
