This wasn't helping.  At all.  Nathan is trying his best to remain calm.

"Ventus, I need you to return to town, NOW.  If the trainer escaped and you have his Pinsir, as well as the mega stone it was holding, they need to be turned in to the League.  Immediately.  If you do ANYTHING to that Pinsir on the way back, or even imply what I think you are, it's not just that trainer who'll need to be worried about the League.  This is no laughing matter, Ventus."

Nathan is VERY serious sounding.  He's very, VERY worried about Ventus right now...if Ventus was acting as crazy as he sounded, that Pinsir might not be in the safest hands right now...Nathan's trying his best not to lose it himself...

Frowning at the clear distress in Nathan's tone, he lost his grim cheer and tried to calm the boy down. "Now now, Nathan, I said that I would bring the Pinsir back, didn't I? Letting Apsis have them for lunch would be counterproductive to the plan, so please don't get yourself worked up for my sake! I have experience in handling such situations discretely, if my meeting with that vile trainer comes to a...definitive conclusion, so be calm. As for the Mega Stone...I have 'given' it to Sage as a gift for service rendered and to be rendered. You have to ask him for it, as the stone is out of my control now. Once I pick up Shelmet, I'll head straight back to town and meet up with you, if you desire. We'll turn in the insect, tell them about the base, and start planning our future actions from there, ok?"

Tapping his chin a few times, he decided to add another idea, something that might soothe his friend's worry. "Hmm...can your Kirlia detect me from this far out? If he can, it might be possible for you to Teleport to me, then swiftly return to town. It would save both of us time, and minimize the chance that bastard comes back to retrieve his partner in crime."
