He was cursed to not be able to teleport from inside a Pokemon and without a grand finish his show died and so did his popularity... Houdini told me he met Shade while he was on one of his hunts, and apparently took an instant liking to him, not sure why, some junk about honourable or something... now though Houdini is mostly a traveler.
