Aristotle

"This is my invention. It's called a snag machine. You can use it to restore Shadow Pokemon and purify their hearts."

Description
Aristotle is a scientist who lives in Chromium City. He invented the Snag Machine, but one of his early prototypes was stolen by Cipher and Evice and redesigned to turn Pokemon evil. After Team Shadow's operations in Kyoto began, Aristotle helped the player by giving them a snag machine. Aristotle appears to be a kind old man who is very brilliant in the field of technology.

Role
Aristotle was first mentioned by Cipher during the Finding Snorlax quest. The first time Aristotle is seen in person is after the player uses the Colress Machine to move the Slaking outside of Aristotle's lab in Chromium City. Once the player gets inside of Aristotle's lab, he will tell them about how the snag machine can "purify" Shadow Pokemon. Aristotle will then battle the player. If his team, which is a higher level than most teams encountered at that point in the story, defeats the player's, then he will tell the player to come back when they are stronger. If the player defeats him, he will tell the player that they passed his test of strength and give them a snag machine.

After Cipher's death, Aristotle can be battled daily if the player visits his lab.
