Zoroark, as it has revealed itself, uses U-Turn to shift sideways about 30 feet toward the interior of the cavern. He then limps piteously toward the thickest grass, looking back over its shoulder to see if Nathan is following. It stays highly visible, though, apparently not yet planning to obscure itself with grass.

!!!

Nathan holds up a hand to stop Calam temporarily.  Not pursuing immediately, but still easily in range of continuing the fight because of how speedy Calam is.

"...well, that was a good performance you put on there.  You definitely had me convinced that you were a Shedinja.  Heh..."

...

"...now I know my friend would definitely want to meet you.  What would you say to meeting him if I were to tell you he's...not entirely pure of heart?  He's done some dark stuff.  I think you'd get along really well with him, and he definitely won't look down on ya just because you've done some bad things yourself.  I can tell you more if ya think that sounds interesting.  Sit down, have a nice chat.  I promise I won't bite if you do.  Would probably be a nice change of pace, having a like-minded friend, right?"

If Zoroark tries to flee...Calam and Ditto are more than fast enough to interfere with that.  A few Pursuits from both of them would do the trick.  (2 from each pokemon)

However, if Zoroark doesn't attempt to flee, maybe we can now get a proper conversation going...

Zoroark doesn't even consider it. You sense he has a different motivation.

He's not fleeing, either, he's slowly working his way through the grass, never getting out of your sight. And he's limping all the way.
