Oh no he won't. Shadow wasn't letting that hit him, nor was he letting go of an opportunity to hit Pit while he was vulnerable. He quickly dunked his noodle and gave a mighty blow, water spurting out in his exact direction.

Both streams collided. Water hit neither of them, only splashing into each other and falling gracefully back into the pool in a flourish. It left Shadow mildly flabbergasted, certain that it wasn't going to happen this way, yet it did before his very eyes. It also kind of... left him open for attack. Smart.
