In the VIP spectators' room of the [[Pokémon League (Unova)|Unova Pokémon League]] complex, [[Amanita]] looks out of the window to see that {{adv|Black}} has beaten [[Iris]] and made it to the final. [[Fennel]] is less than impressed by Amanita's distraction, and orders her to get back to work. [[Aurea Juniper]] enters the room and is sees that Fennel's research materials are scattered all over the place. Aurea wonders whether it is appropriate for Fennel to use the room as a lab. Fennel says that [[Drayden]] gave her permission, and she is almost finished with her studies. Aurea decides not to argue further, and Fennel then wonders if it's okay for Aurea to leave her own lab unattended for so long. Aurea tells Fennel not to worry, because new assistant {{adv|Bianca}} is looking after the lab, father [[Cedric]] is looking out for [[Team Plasma]] at the complex, and {{adv|White}} is helping [[Brycen]] out. Fennel is concerned about White's ability to handle the task since White is only a business owner, but Aurea has confidence in her due to her encounters with legendary Pokémon and her [[Battle Subway]] training; she gained the [[Pokédex]] as recognition of her skills, and therefore can be trusted upon to deliver. | |||
White begins her investigation by waiting at the corridor where contestants enter and exit the stage. She knows that contestants are not allowed to talk to each other, but that restriction is lifted when they are eliminated from the tournament. Soon White spots [[Marlon]] carrying his fainted {{p|Jellicent}} towards the corridor. White immediately has [[White (Adventures)#Pokémon|Dorothy]] and [[White (Adventures)#Pokémon|Nancy]] get acquainted with Marlon's Jellicent. | |||
Nancy throws itself onto Jellicent, and in a flash of light, Jellicent is fully healed, much to Marlon's surprise. Marlon hears a voice expressing a relief that Jellicent is healed. He spots White and sees that the {{p|Alomomola}} that healed Jellicent is hers. White explains that Nancy's membranes are able to heal wounds. Unfortunately for White, Marlon knows that she is trying to interrogate him. But Marlon laughs off the issue and allows White to go ahead with the interrogation, considering that she doesn't seem suspicious, and uses such cute Pokémon like {{p|Stunfisk}}. He goes as far as kissing Dorothy to show his affection. | |||
White introduces herself and claims that she is trying to gather information regarding the mysterious contestant [[Hood Man]]. She believes that Marlon, who lost to Hood Man in the previous round, must have sensed something from him. [[Looker]] and his {{p|Croagunk}} witness the exchange through an air vent and is surprised that someone else is also doing investigations. Marlon, pleased with White's honesty, reveals that he too is uneasy with suspicious people, and decides to reveal all he knows. After some head-scratching, Marlon claims that Hood Man didn't have the eight Unova [[Gym Badge]]s on him, which causes White to exclaim in shock. Inside the air vent, Croagunk has to cover Looker's mouth to stop him from yelling. | |||
Marlon explains that any body of water has its unique scent. These scents are also carried by any Pokémon who live in water, and having lived with {{type|Water}} Pokémon all his life, he can identify where White's Alomomola and Stunfisk come from. He also explains that one of the Badge Check Gates outside the complex, specifically the one that checks the [[Trio Badge]], has water on it. Anyone who was eligible for the tournament must have passed through this gate and have the smell of it. However, he could not detect that smell from Hood Man. White immediately deems that Hood Man isn't qualified for the tournament and she must inform the officials, but Marlon tells her not to. He accepts his defeat by Hood Man and acknowledges him to be a powerful Trainer. Besides, Marlon says that vapor smells aren't valid evidence to prove eligibility, and if White really needs to look out for suspicious people, she should keep an eye out for {{adv|Cheren}} which he considers to be more suspicious. | |||
Back on stage, the MC starts the battle between Cheren and Hood Man, and they send out {{p|Boldore}} and {{p|Klink}} respectively. White watches the battle from the back row of the audience stands, with Cedric Juniper joining her. Cedric remarks that whoever wins this battle faces Black, and White grins that Black would prefer to battle his friend Cheren, but suddenly recalls the exact conversation she had with Marlon regarding Cheren. | |||
Cheren switches out his Boldore for {{p|Snivy}}. Black, watching the battle from his capsule, is shocked that Cheren didn't even bother to train it after the events at [[Cold Storage]]. His thoughts are cut out by a voice in the audience cheering for Cheren. White, whose attention was also caught by the voice, recognizes it as that of [[Leo]], one of the defeated contestants. White approaches Leo but just as she is about to ask, the young {{tc|PokéManiac}} runs off and hides in the back row. White catches up and wonders what's happened. Leo sheepishly states that he gets anxious around girls, but simply claims that he is cheering for Cheren because he wants the person who beat him to win the tournament. | |||
Meanwhile, in the semi-final battle, Klink sends Snivy tumbling backwards. Cheren, after a thought, decides to switch out again, much to Snivy's horror, and Snivy appears to claw for the ground as it gets retrieved in its [[Poké Ball]]. {{p|Unfezant}} appears in Snivy's place. Hood Man decides to switch as well, and calls out {{p|Beheeyem}} for Klink. Beheeyem uses {{m|Calm Mind}} before firing off an {{m|Energy Ball}}, but Unfezant dodges the attack by flying upwards, then dives down towards Beheeyem with {{m|U-turn}} and knocks Beheeyem out. The MC declares Cheren the winner, and the one who faces Black in the final. Knowing that one of Cheren and Black will be facing them, the [[Elite Four (Unova)|Unova Elite Four]] agree to return to their chambers and prepare. | |||
Leo rushes to the stage to congratulate Cheren, but Cheren pays no attention. Unable to contain his fury, Black forces his capsule open and demands to know why Cheren has suddenly lost his respect for the people around him, and while ignoring the MC re-stating the rule that contestants aren't allowed to confer, also asks why Cheren withdrew Snivy against its will, and why he didn't train it up to evolution. Cheren simply states that it's none of Black's business. Cheren's reply takes Black over the edge, and he bursts out of his capsule to confront his friend. | |||
Cheren simply states that cheering has no use, and does not make one stronger. He also says that Snivy has never delivered when it mattered, and therefore sees no use in training it further. Unable to comprehend Cheren's reasoning, Black demands to know what happened to Cheren. But Cheren replies that he is all right; he is just focusing on what he really wants to do now - to seek out strength. | |||
With that, Cheren calls out his Boldore which immediately evolves into a {{p|Gigalith}}. Seeing that as a challenge, Black calls out [[Bo]] who immediately attempts to strike, but Gigalith blocks. The MC calls for calm, claiming that there is still another half an hour before the match is due to start, but Black says he cannot wait and must strike sense into his friend while he still can. | |||
Meanwhile, the Unova Elite Four are heading back to their chambers. [[Marshal]] asks [[Grimsley]] who he thinks will challenge them. Grimsley suddenly crouches down to feel the floor. Marshal asks what's wrong, and Grimsley simply claims that neither will. Upon Marshal's further query, Grimsley changes the subject, and makes Marshal aware of the rumbling sound, which means that something is rising out of the surface. | |||

Something Suspicious (Japanese: VSオーベム VS Ohbem or 鳴動 Rumbling) is the 517th round of the Pokémon Adventures manga.
Plot
In the VIP spectators' room of the Unova Pokémon League complex, Amanita looks out of the window to see that Black has beaten Iris and made it to the final. Fennel is less than impressed by Amanita's distraction, and orders her to get back to work. Aurea Juniper enters the room and is sees that Fennel's research materials are scattered all over the place. Aurea wonders whether it is appropriate for Fennel to use the room as a lab. Fennel says that Drayden gave her permission, and she is almost finished with her studies. Aurea decides not to argue further, and Fennel then wonders if it's okay for Aurea to leave her own lab unattended for so long. Aurea tells Fennel not to worry, because new assistant Bianca is looking after the lab, father Cedric is looking out for Team Plasma at the complex, and White is helping Brycen out. Fennel is concerned about White's ability to handle the task since White is only a business owner, but Aurea has confidence in her due to her encounters with legendary Pokémon and her Battle Subway training; she gained the Pokédex as recognition of her skills, and therefore can be trusted upon to deliver.
White begins her investigation by waiting at the corridor where contestants enter and exit the stage. She knows that contestants are not allowed to talk to each other, but that restriction is lifted when they are eliminated from the tournament. Soon White spots Marlon carrying his fainted Jellicent towards the corridor. White immediately has Dorothy and Nancy get acquainted with Marlon's Jellicent.
Nancy throws itself onto Jellicent, and in a flash of light, Jellicent is fully healed, much to Marlon's surprise. Marlon hears a voice expressing a relief that Jellicent is healed. He spots White and sees that the Alomomola that healed Jellicent is hers. White explains that Nancy's membranes are able to heal wounds. Unfortunately for White, Marlon knows that she is trying to interrogate him. But Marlon laughs off the issue and allows White to go ahead with the interrogation, considering that she doesn't seem suspicious, and uses such cute Pokémon like Stunfisk. He goes as far as kissing Dorothy to show his affection.
White introduces herself and claims that she is trying to gather information regarding the mysterious contestant Hood Man. She believes that Marlon, who lost to Hood Man in the previous round, must have sensed something from him. Looker and his Croagunk witness the exchange through an air vent and is surprised that someone else is also doing investigations. Marlon, pleased with White's honesty, reveals that he too is uneasy with suspicious people, and decides to reveal all he knows. After some head-scratching, Marlon claims that Hood Man didn't have the eight Unova Gym Badges on him, which causes White to exclaim in shock. Inside the air vent, Croagunk has to cover Looker's mouth to stop him from yelling.
Marlon explains that any body of water has its unique scent. These scents are also carried by any Pokémon who live in water, and having lived with Water-type Pokémon all his life, he can identify where White's Alomomola and Stunfisk come from. He also explains that one of the Badge Check Gates outside the complex, specifically the one that checks the Trio Badge, has water on it. Anyone who was eligible for the tournament must have passed through this gate and have the smell of it. However, he could not detect that smell from Hood Man. White immediately deems that Hood Man isn't qualified for the tournament and she must inform the officials, but Marlon tells her not to. He accepts his defeat by Hood Man and acknowledges him to be a powerful Trainer.
