(Well, how do Ventus, Shiva, and Valder react when they see Swiftfire is Lethally injured?)

When everyone has more or less gathered Valder informs everyone (although he's facing Ventus while speaking) that if they're interested in a fainted delta Forretress with a peculiar ability they are welcome to thank him later. Valder does kinda nudge at Ventus being the main recipient of the message, but mostly since Valder is Ventus' merc, and he gotta make himself slightly usefull.

To answer Valder's silent question: "...it was a p-particularly...v-violent Levanny and a Swadloon.  Ditto says they were acting aggressive b-because of whatever's drawing everything down this t-tunnel, th-though...I don't think we'll have to deal with them again..."

If Ventus (or anyone else, for that matter) makes any moves to go after that Leavanny, Ditto stands in his way and points down the tunnel in the direction Heart went once more!  Justice has been served already, so it's time to move on.

Since a lot of things passed and Ventus was autoed through at lot of it, I'm just going to give the cliff notes of how he reacts to things.

- When he's fetched by Shiva to go help with the Tandorain Bugs (to which he has no objection to), he a bit shocked but ultimately non-plussed about it, and has no negative reaction at all those insects begin consumed by the Durant besides slight interest, since he knows that the species is typically vegetarian from what he's studied.

- Seeing Swiftfire cut up and nearly gutted and the subsequently hearing the explaination behind it, Ventus indeed does get 'reasonably' angry at the Seamstress and wants to 'do unto it as it did to others' , but gives up the task once Ditto stops and reminds him they all have MUCH more pressing matters to attend to. He's still angry at that Bug of course, especially after nearly getting frostbitten himself by one, but he's not willing to start anything because of it, especially seeing the state Nathan is in because of its actions. Additionally, he would have offered one of his last 3 Potions to him, before Valder cut him off by offering that Sitrus Berry, to which he gives them a grateful clasp on the back and promises to reimburse them for the Potion and Sitrus Berry when they get back on the surface plus a....bonus for all the hard work he's done. He's a good boss, yes he is!

- As for the Offer of Delta Foresstress, Ventus is indeed intrigued by this, but before he makes any motions to capture it he has Apsis test to see if a Restrained Poison Sting works on them to poison the bug, followed by a Glare if regardless if the Poison Sting works or not. If the Poison Sting fails (Which means its still partially a Steel type), Apsis will uses Restrained Ice Fangs to freeze them after Paralyzing them, and then a Steel Ball will be used to catch them. If they do managed to get Poisoned, one regular Pokeball will be used on them, but before he tried to catch them he'll tell the bug if they don't get in they will be left to die of Poisoning.

- He also says nothing about his Encounter with Frosthra unless he's directly asked what he fought, as he thinks its irrelevant vs. going off after their Pokémon and reuniting with Heart in the process. Like Nathan, he's also not too interested in the Tandor bugs since everyone has MUCH more pressing matters to deal with, and may very well forget they existed by the time things settle down enough for his interested to return.

-When/If Heart comes back, He'll ask him if Gustav could use a Heal Pulse on Apsis, since she put into the deep freeze herself by the mega mock Mothra see faced, but he'll give priority to Tropius to get more Heal Pulses since they are the more critically injured.

With all that said/Maybe done, Ven would be ready to move on with everyone else!
