:"XD001?! The ultimate <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc> that's resistant to purification?!"
:"Hyahyahya! <sc>Master Greevil</sc> has such a wicked sense of humor! No ordinary ship can get close because of the rough seas. And even if you do manage to get on the island... The place will be swarming with <sc>s</sc> carrying the <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc> I made! …Even though there should be a lot more <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc>… If XD001 didn't drop that ship in the desert, we wouldn't have taken so long tuning the <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc>. Hyahyahya! But it doesn't matter. There's plenty of <sc>Shadow Pokémon</sc> to welcome you in style! How many are there? Heheh, I can't tell you that. If I did, it'd floor you!
