The Delta Onyx breaking free of its frigid prison and Raging against their fleshy snake counter part was a unexpected (and unwelcome) surprise, but that was about all the windfall they received. Apsis, already steaming mad over her master very nearly being completely waylayed by that diabolical Chandelure, became livid when SHE fell prey to a similar (if exponently less severe) fate via the Oddnix's Chatter. Once cured of her Confusion, the regal reptile proceeded to give the rocky reptile the mother of all maulings, snapping at them with such relentless ferocity that they were floor 'n Fainted in scant moments. Truly, a woman's unbridled WRATH is something awe and fear inspiring, and she channeled/empowered herself on it to utterly terrify and dominate her target. Those that attract her ire beware!

Once she had thoroughly worked over Delta Onix like gritty taffy, she gave it one last withering Glare to soften them up even more for her master to capture, before slithering back over to his side, a sastifeid smile on her face and feeling much better. While her fury would only be entirely extinguished once her master's tormentor is KILLED, she had vented enough that she could bank those smoldering feelings for now and not terrorize any poor fool that interacted with her/Ventus. Not that this would comfort her prior victim Shiva, but thems the breaks.

Ventus, on the other hand, let out a small sigh of relief as the Delta species was successfully capture, some of the tension and stress draining out of him as he walked over and plucked the Steel Ball off the ground. Besides that nightmarish fiend that could barely be called a Pokémon that Nathan owned (which sent disguisted and frightened shivers down his back as he thought of them) and the Delta Porygon of Dagney's, this was the first true Delta species he's personally encountered, and it was now his . His to research, to explore what makes it unique compared to the rest of its species, and perhaps even propogate in order to further expand the sub species and/or sell for a profit.....

"Yes, its mine," the researcher whispered, staring at the Steel Ball with only a ghost of a smile, but it was there. He still felt like Kyurem itself had frosted over his soul, the restoration of his formerly formidable/stable mental acuity was slow, and deep down was still murderously angry at the Chandelure, but he was on the road to recovery, and his venting/capture of this Delta Onix did wonders for him.

"Still......" Ven said absentmindly, twirling the ball around with a less stoic but still analytical expression, "I already have Ao Guang and Lilith that need my full care, attention, and discipline if I hope to form a full fledge bond with them, and adding a another bulky snake team when I already you with me, my wonderful and beautiful sister -" Apsis preened at the praise, and lowered her head to nuzzle him fondly, to which he let out airy but warm chuckle as he used his free hand to scratch the underside of her jaw. "-would be unwise at this current time. I don't wish to relinquish it for sale, though, as while it would be worth its weight in wealth for its uniqueness, its for those very same reasons its such a valuable Pokémon to research. I could give it to Dr. Mallorn or Dagny and arranged deals with them for them to breed and research it on my behalf, but that is a long term plan that may or may not turn out to be profitable. So, I can't afford to look after it myself, nor render or lease it to others, so it will have to remain in my PC for quite some time........" he continued, as small frown tugging on his face at the delimea he was presented with......until a look of surprise flashed across his face as he experienced a burst of Insight, until it faded away to be replaced with faint smile.

"......Unless somebody in the group could look after it for me instead, and help me with my research of it. Somebody whoses fascination with Delta Pokémon matches his own, nay, exceeds his own, and has experience and talent with caring for and taming Disobedient Pokémon. Somebody.....like Heart. Perhaps he could trade me one of his more unruly Pokemon in exchange, so that he'd be able to dedicate more time to Delta Onix and the rest of his Pokémon. Yes, that would the best and fairest way..."

With that said to himself, the sociologist stowed away the Steel Ball......somewhere, still smiling as he patted the scaled body of his poisonous python, getting her attention as he motioned for her to follow him as he started down the path once more, feeling emboldened and a tad bit happy . "Come, Apsis. We need to keep up with the rest of the group, and arrange a deal with Heart about concerning our latest capture." The snake sis gave a delighted nod and *Hiss!* in agreement, happy to see her master's gradual/incremental recovery, before she and him set about to find catch up and find Heart!

Order: Meet up with Heart so as to get started on that Trade! For this to work smoothly, have them suggest they purchase a Steel Coat for Scyther when they offer Delta Onix in exchange for one of his lesser used Pokémon! Let's get this down, @Spiritmon! Oh, and the Berry its holding is going straight in Ven's inventory to replace the one he used! That too!
