Shiranui was amused by Liam's antics.

"Long time, no see, Morty," stated Shiranui.
"Same to you, Shiranui," replied Morty, "Your father has told me to let you know that he's back in town and he wishes to challenge you to a battle after you've won my badge." Shiranui wasn't surprised by his father's challenge.
"That's my father for you," he replied, "He likes to issue me challenges."
"Well, I need to get back to my gym and prepare to battle you two. See you later," Morty finished.

"I think we should," answered Shiranui, "I feel like something's calling out to us."

"Thanks Bill," replied Shiranui as he accepted the Poké Ball. After storing Kumo away, he opened the Poké Ball and to his surprise an Eevee was revealed.
"Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. Eevee has an unstable genetic makeup that suddenly mutates due to the environment in which it lives. Radiation from various stones causes this Pokémon to evolve. So far eight evolved forms have been confirmed." He also found that his new friend had the Anticipation ability.
"Welcome to the team, Tachi," greeted Shiranui, petting Tachi. The Eevee was starting to like her new trainer.

While Liam was at the Pokémon Centre, the Kimono Girls were ready to battle Shiranui. Kuni was first with her Vaporeon and Shiranui sent Hitsuji out. A Charge/Electro Ball combo was enough to defeat Kuni and Hitsuji evolved to a Flaaffy as a result. Miki was next with her Jolteon and a Feint Attack followed by a Wood Hammer soon took Jolteon out. Naoko's Flareon was quickly taken out by Wani and Sayo's Espeon quickly fell to Onryou. Zuki's Umbreon was a challenge even with Kumo's type advantage, but the Ariados soon took out the dark Eeveelution through attrition and the exploitation of type weakness.

"For defeating us, we present you with the Clear Bell and the Tidal Bell," the girls stated.
"Thank you girls," replied Shiranui before returning to the Pokémon Centre to heal his Pokémon.

"Liam, the girls gave me these bells and I'd like you to have one," stated Shirnaui, presenting the bells he won from the Kimono Girls.

"Great battle," Shiranui praised to both battlers, "You have four more to go, Liam."

"Liam, would you like to go first?" Shiranui offered.

"Hello Zuki," Shiranui greeted back, "It's great to be back in my home town. Are you and the others up for battling?"

"Expect us to do the same in the other Pokémon Leagues," replied Shiranui.
