What would happen if a Pokéball expelled 999.8kgs of air in 1 second?

If we were to suppose the pokéball gets rid of the pokémons mass by expelling it as air, what would happen? Imagine we had a pokémon weighing 999.9kgs, being a perfect sphere and having a diameter of 10cms. (Cosmovum). If the Pokéball takes 1 sec to capture or to release a pokémon, and it reduces the pokémon to let's say 100g, what would happen. Upon capture, the whole 999.8kgs get expelled into the surrounding enviroment, and upon release, this much air would be sucked into the pokeball. Taking 1 second, what would this cause. I'd imagine it would cause some explosion-like effects, but I don't really understand what exactly would happen. If anyone has some ideas, please tell me. Thanks!

We really can’t say much here as Pokémons are imaginary creatures running around in an imaginary world.

Losing air into the environment would be like a balloon losing air so maybe the Pokémon is blown in the opposite direction.

Thanks! But I´m actually more concerned about the force this would create. A normal balloon doesn´t have a metric ton of air inside of it, compressed into 500 cm3. The effects of "popping" such a balloon should be different. I´m just not sure how to calculate such an explosion or propulsion, which is why I posted it here. Also, witout wanting to sound rude, I know they are imaginary, which is why I posted this in the Science Fiction and Fantasy Media-Forum. Still, thanks for the quick reply!

What i meant by imaginary is that teal world physics may not apply.

I get that, but my question was more of a "what if it would apply", kind of like what the Game theorists do. There obviously aren´t any problems in the games, but what problems would be there if these things were happening in reality?

I'll confess, I'm not really up on Pokémon culture, but Cosmovum (aka Cosmoem) is a bit of a mess, really. It is described like 'an eyeball from space' and has what look like flanges on it, and supposedly its weight vs. size is from its protostar heritage, but this is muddied because its evolution differs between games so some sites suggest a neutron star as a base - which definitely aren't protostars - or even a black hole which means Cosmovum only ever gets heavier! Either way, even for a made up character, it is nonsensical.

Anyway, I've assumed you've just taken Cosmovum's size and mass and applied that to a generic Poké Ball which is a sphere, then wondered about the expelling air bit...

OK, first up, calculating the 'actual' physics of this is near impossible unless you add in a ton of assumptions that let you get pretty much any answer you like.

But let's look at the macro level: if the Poké Ball is repeatedly doing this ingestion/expelling process then the result cannot be explosion-like, as that would destroy the Poké Ball. So what you are left with is an extremely rapid decompression through an orifice of some kind and I can't get that much air flow through a small orifice in one second. So I don't think that your scenario actually works in the real.
