"He seemed a tad too sprightly for someone who just regained consciousness," Titania commented feeling perplexed. "I'm just as surprised as you are, Titania," replied Shiranui.
"Shock and a lot of dopamine in his brain," Titania evaluated, "In other words he felt so much surprise and joy from winning his first gym badge that he fainted. He should come to any time now." Shiranui realised that Koneko may not have heard a psychic Pokémon's telepathic voice before.
Shiranui snapped into action and ran over to the challenger's side of the battlefield. "Titania, keep a watch on him and use Heal Pulse if necessary!" He let his Gardevoir out and the psychic fairy was scanning Neko's physical and mental vitals. "Master, I know you're having a feeling of déjà vu," Titania commented.
Shiranui knew what happened in the event of a gym battle ending in a draw—if the gym leader thought the challenger battled well enough, the victory would go to the challenger.
