Considering both Ralts and Zippy are missing, the two pokemon that Nathan has that precious perfect bond (5 Happiness and Loyalty both) with, that statement hits him particularly hard.
He's still too shocked right now to actually comment on anything immediately, though.

Entering a paniced state was still a threat for Shiva, but the assurances of her two Fairies and Ven's clear no-nonsense state are strongly working against it, luckily.
Dead-calmly but visibly shaking and having to take deep breaths, she spoke up to her chosen one.
"No objections, Ven.... I don't know if a non-damaging Gust from my Tropius could additionally speed us up to your Tailwind, but....maybe?"

Thankfully however, Azumarill and Cottonee release themselves from thei respective Balls to envelop their Master into a dear and fond hug themselves, making the whole thing look like a group-hug. It managed to calm Shiva to a degree however, and summon Dizzy to her side. "Young one.... Dizzy.... You've been in my Mightyena's presence for long. Do you think you can...pick up the scent of him? Maybe where we find him, we'll find the others..."
Heart take this words in hard way. He turn her back. "No...my at least I trying to do something." Then Heart dont even wait for the others to find that pokemon. If Shiva think Heart dont care, then he will prove the contrary.

Sensing that the young scholar had quickly fallen into a dreadful (and understandable)Â state of shock, Ventus briskly walked over to him and
gently place a hand on their shoulder while also quietly summons his child Raphael by his side to help comfort/re-balance them, which the archangel was
more than eager to lend a helping wing by radiating his signature calming aura!
"Nathan......" he says delicately, so as not to startle or incite any panic/reactionary hostility from them.
"We need you here with us, so please, calm yourself. We'll be reunited with all our Pokémon, no matter what, so have faith and remain strong......"

"Ah yes, we can use them as a mount too, and perhaps their Gusts could help speed us along. Excellent ideas, Shiva. Anything, everyone?"
Between calming Nathan down and answering his girlfriend, Ven's unable to prevent Heart from charging off ahead besides sharply looking in his direction and saying "Wait!" Hopefully that gets him to stop in time, or otherwise he's on his own against an unknown threat......

It is now Day 60.
When you release your Pokemon for breakfast, you find that several are missing!
-Mightyena!
-Durant!
-Ralts!
-Slowking!
-Zippy!
-Raticate!
-Growlithe!
-Slurpuff!
AHHH!
Their footprints can be found in the frost of the tunnel to the North.
Mr. Finder: "Oh no, no, no, this is not good. This is not good. This is not good. Without Slurpuff, I only know the next two or three twists and turns. We're lost down here, lost forever, no no no! I knew I should have charged more, or just never accepted at all!"
Upon awaking, going through his usual rituals, and then releasing his family for their morning meal, Ventus reacts predictively to the unpleasant news that his and the group's Pokémon has been kidnapped (he autmotically assume the worst, as per his paranioa): with instant and extreme RAGE.
"......Calm yourself, Mr. Finder. Panicikng will only serve to be unproductive and doom us all, so get a hold of yourself now," the researcher grounds outs, his tone of voice filled with barely restrained anger and righteous indignation , his patience and mood dangerously low as he regarded the sniveling man with thinly vieled tolerance. He then takes a deep breath and lets it out to becalm himself, before continuing in a much less hostile tone of voice.
"Malphena and Lucifer help ascertain the location of that despicable thief, as my sister can track the no doubt negative and fearful emotions experienced by our Pokémon being taken , and the former can scout ahead and specifically search for the sounds of footsteps or....commotion. My brother can also use Tailwind in conjuction with us mounting Swiftfire, Yule, and Mamo to swiftly catch up to that wretched scoundrel, so whatever head start they may have on us will not last them for much longer. Nathan, given your light weight and naturally high speed, you could also borrow Raphael and use Extreme Speed to locate them in swift order, but you would leave the rest of us behind as a consequence. The choice is yours in the end, and I will not fault you for taking if that is what you wish to do. They took Ralts, Solomon, and Skippy from you, after all."
He gestures to both of the afformentioned family members (he's returned the rest after......the news became known), and looks at the rest of the group in a no nonsense and authoritative way with his arms crossed.
"Well, do you all have any objections, or plans of your own to contribute rescuing our Pokémon ASAP? Speak quickly, as the more time we spend discussing this, the more time that bastard gets on further ahead...."
Malphena senses no negative or fearful emotions down the tunnel!Â
(We'll get to any scouting in a moment)
And none of the people on watch ever saw any of the Pokemon getting kidnapped!

"O..........one more thing! You and me, we're gifted with...empathic senses... You're are stronger than mine, but...
if we both keep ourselves up and open for anything, maybe we can....sense something further down the tunnel.... Bet our Pokemon are.......relieving a nightmare, without us, a detectable one.......Haaahhh....
Please stay close to me. Danger.... fear..." She FINALLY lets go of hugging Mr. Finder (if he's doing better only, that is) to silently enwrap herself around one of Ventus' arms, seeming...not much better and still at the verge of panicing, but from the way she looks up to the oddball or researcher, it's obvious that she's ready to get going.

Nathan flinches slightly anyways. Shivers quite a lot. It's not just the cold that is getting to him now. Even Swiftfire's warmth can only do so much.
"...I...I h-have...t...t-to f-find...R-r...R-ralts..."
Well, it's
a response...he looks about ready to charge off after Heart, too...though he doesn't. Even though he doesn't mention Solomon or Zippy in that brief moment, he's obviously worried about them too...but Ralts wandering off is quite a lot more...impactful.
As soon as everyone's ready to start looking, Nathan will
definitely snap into action. In fact, he looks at Ditto and Calam briefly.Â
Ditto's a dog pokemon currently, right? Maybe it can put that nose of its to good use as well? Maybe Calam's Future Sight would also come in handy?

" *Calmly stares at Shiva as she latches onto him, before moving his free hand to muse their hair in a hopefully palicating manner* .....Yes, we can certainly take advantage of our empathetic senses to track them down, Shiva, though if they are experiencing anything unpleasant....then brace yourself."
Seeing Nathan slowly snap out of his almost trace like daze ('A sign of becoming overly dependent on his partner, no doubt....') and looking towards Calam and......
whatever Wolf Pokémon that Ditto had decided to Transform into today, he nods his head approvingly, as he could easily guess how their inherent skills/Move could be put to good use.
"Nathan, are you okay now?
Do you wish to go on ahead with Raphael with Calam and Ditto, or do you want to stick with us?"
He says this partially to confirm they are okay, and partially to get their mind back onto the plan(s) he and everyone else had laid out. Here's hoping this subtly works.....

Nathan shakes his head. No, he's not okay.
When asked if he wishes to go on ahead, also no. Nathan looks at Solosis next. Calam still needs to keep an eye on the little bugger, so Nathan can't go charging off even if he wants to. It'd be easier to keep an eye on Solosis if they remain with the rest of the group and don't have to worry about watching their backs as much.
