Nathan looks over towards the door as Ventus enters the room.  After a few seconds of that, he looks back at Pinsir.

"Sigh...begrudge me all you like for helping to treat a criminal's pokemon, but I won't let a life be taken if it's not for good reason."  There's almost no traces of the anger he'd been feeling only ten minutes before.  Just a sad, worried feeling.

Walking over to him, Ventus took a set a little bit away from the young trainer. Close enough for them to have a conversation, but not too close to make him nervous about his presence. "...I may hate that Pinsir for harming you Nathan, but I will not chastise you for your compassion. Its something I find that lacking within myself, when it comes to my enemies, and I don't desire to see you become cold like me in that regard. I'm the affable monster of the group, so don't feel guilty about your actions, nor mine. I'm the one that is responsible for myself, in the end," he said to the boy, looking down at his hand resting in his lap. After Nathan's swift departure, he felt quite uncomfortable in his presence, but he had important information to tell him.

"...I didn't want to bother you so soon after you...left me, but my investigation of the statue have turned up positive. Inserting the Burn Drive into the statue causes it to react, moving away to reveal a secret passage underground. I do not know where it goes, as I choose to come back here immedianlty to inform you and the group of this, but I am certain that it leads to a Scimitar base. Speaking of them, Valder," he motions towards the normally tactrum mercenary, "decided to inform me more about our mysterious cabal of wizards. They rely heavily on their skills, like he said, but the Pokémon they favor are primarily Psychic and Steel types. In addition, he told me that the Scimitars we have faced are not just one cohesive group, but one that is split into several factions. He informed me that of the two he was certain of: Earth and Water."

"We already encountered an Earth one, but the Pinsir man, who is most likely a member of that black group, is liable to be of the Water faction. Given this information, we can only assume that they have access to a wide variety of arcane spells, and that they are a highly competent organization if they can handle massive amount of those two types of notorishly difficult to raise Pokémon. Nathan...however much you hate to hear this, but I believe that the enemy we are facing is a severe, region wide threat, instead of an isolated one. We will have to prepare to encounter them in the future, as its unlikely they will forget about us anytime soon," Ventus finished, looking up from his hands and over at Nathan. While he had more to say, he had to pace himself and let the boy react in favor. No need to overload him, and have another breakdown on his hands.
