"We may if we warp there," Shiranui answered, reminding Liam and Jen of how they got to Azalea Town from Galar. At that point, his phone let him know that his challenger is approaching his location.
"Some Pokémon have been reported to abduct people," Shiranui stated, "Hypno and Drifloon are notorious for kidnapping children and a scientist was reported to be spirited away by Unown to Arceus-knows-where; but for that to happen all over the Orange Archipelago, it seems illogical for it to be a single person or Pokémon without further information.
Shiranui focused on getting some Black Apricorns, but picked up a haul of Blue, White and Red Apricorns. He knew what types of Poké Balls his Apricorns would be converted into.
"Liam and I have been participating in the Pokémon World Coronation Series as well as the Galar Gym Challenge," Shiranui updated, "We came here to Azalea Town because Liam got a PWCS challenge from Bugsy and we stopped by to stock up on some Apricorn Poké Balls."
