"Would you like a demonstration of how psychic powers actually work?" Shiranui asked, offering a glimpse of what Khuda may be getting into.

"We now know your Mankey is a male and your Ralts is female," Shiranui concluded, "Therefore she will eventually evolve into a Gardevoir herself." He recalled Titania and sent the Gardevoir back out, curing the collateral attraction.

"There's an easier way to find out," Shiranui interjected before things got awkward, "Titania, use Attract on Khuda's Ralts! Titania is female so if her Attract affects your Ralts, we can deduce its gender as male." The Gardevoir conjured a love heart and sent it fluttering at Ralts.

"A female Kirlia will always evolve into a Gardevoir," answered Shiranui, "A male on the other hand presents a very big decision. A Dawn Stone will cause him to evolve to a Gallade otherwise he'll evolve into a Gardevoir as well. Something to keep in mind if you have a male Kirlia is what style of battling you favour. A Gallade's style of battle is similar to a Medicham thanks to the fact their types are exactly the same whereas a Gardevoir is more of a mentalist in battle—a style that is more typical of a Psychic-type Pokémon."

Titania looked over at Zhonya and linked her mind with the Ralts. The Gardevoir sent a telepathic greeting, smiling as she did so.

"I will be honoured to help a trainer in need," Shiranui consented, "Titania, come on out!" He opened a Poké Ball and a Gardevoir wearing a pendant containing a Gardevoirite materialised in front of Khuda. "Khuda, this is the mentor I told you about. Her name is Titania and she's a Gardevoir—one of Ralts' fully evolved forms." Titania read Khuda's emotions and kept her telepathic voice silent. She instead bowed in greeting.

"If you need help with Ralts, Khuda, I have the perfect mentor," Shiranui offered, "Also, once Ralts develops its telepathic abilities, you'll be hearing its voice in your mind."

"Slow down, Lance," replied Shiranui, "Patience can carve a long and virtuous path." He turned to Khuda and stated, "Ralts can sense your feelings and mirror them."

"And now it's back through the woods and over the sea before we get to Dewford Town," stated Shiranui, "Khuda, I suggest you get your Ralts trained up as the next gym leader, Brawly, uses Fighting-type Pokémon."

"That's the spirit!" Shiranui praised. He knew Khuda's Mankey would be tough to face once it evolved.
