The Unusual Ledian took off his red shoes, grabbed both researchers and held them over one of his shoes. The researchers have heard about these Unusual types getting involved with a lot of feet stuff the most with captured humans, but they'll also trap them inside of things like their shoes/boots/sandals if the Pokemon wears any and unfortunately for anyone, several Pokemon wear footwear unique to them (Hitmontop, Hisuian Lilligant, Hitmonchan, Jynx, Ledian and so on).

Ledian then drops both of them down into his shoes to trap them both deep within where he'll then put his shoes back on to cover and trap them both all over his large feet. His shoes acted also as a sort of suction device, pulling them both inside in case they tried to somehow get away. However though, one of the researchers used quick thinking and preemptively planned ahead in case this would happen. He had one of his Pokemon use the move Strength on himself in case he needed to escape out of something. Holding onto the edge of the shoe he climbed up and escaped. His friend However was already sucked deep inside of the shoe.
