Hehe. Yhea, I posted. For Blue peoples, chasing Markus is a suicide rush unless you can do a full party heal and tackle a Dragonite before he leaves Celadon City: At that point, he'll be long gone (It'll take a few posts! It's a fast Pokemon but I'll be realistic about it. :P). Just re-enter the building. You'll be fine. Unless you forget something, of course.

Also, yes, as Night so lovingly proved to us in his transformation to a Shadow, I do see Shadows as having some physiological augmentation as well as psychological, which is part of the plus ten they get as part of being a Shadow and why purification does not remove it. The augmentations are meant to help the Pokemon survive, any beneficial process like purification wouldn't strip a Pokemon of these.

Also, Dredd. On the Pokemon DD stole, what's going on there? Are we getting them back immediately? Is there going to have to be a wait? Or is it a mix, like, 'Win now, get them back now, but if you can't, then you'll have to wait?'
