Gallade peers into the unconscious eyes of a few Kadabra and shrugs. Their mind's patterns have mostly become Kadabra-like already. He seems hopeful that there could be some way to determine which is Marco, but it won't be by mind-reading.
Marco's ability with Psychic types is more useful. Gallade puts a hand over his eyes and Meowstic wraps her scarf around her eyes. Slowking moves his hat down. Solosis... rolls in some mud? They blunder about at random until they each come upon one of the male Kadabra.
There are four candidates for Marco Warren's transformation for you, assuming the technique worked.

Nathan looks at Shiva. There's still one more Psychic type here. "Think Gothitelle might have some input on this?"
Spira then brings up something that Nathan would probably find very interesting; "When I was fighting the Kadabra earlier, one of them teleported away before I was able to get a chance to knock it out."
(referring of course to
this battle, seeing as that one got knocked prone by Spira, he more likely than not got a
good look at it, though it probably doesn't mean much, Iron
did use a masculine pronoun referring to that one.)

That immediately catches Nathan's attention.
This question is gonna nedd
's input, but Nathan would definitely ask it. Â "Do you remember if it was male or female? Â Males typically have longer, bushier whiskers."
The gender difference is probably a lot easier to see now that Luxray has separated the Kadabra by gender. (Though it's not a particularly difficult to notice gender difference once you know what to look for)
Yep that one was male. Luxray never got to even see that one.
Picking up that Marco had in fact did turn into a Kadabra and seeing Nathan, Luxray, and the most of the group's Psychic types sort out them out by gender + narrow down which one was him (if any) jolted Terra's mind, giving him a brilliant idea to further identify which psychic kitty cat was which: using Solomon's HP on them, and have Pixie, Edmundi, and Solosis/Meowstic to prevent any harm from the move! This Eureka! moment left the sagely monk blinking as he was stirring over the pot of stew he was making, before he immediately ceased doing so and rushed over to Nathan and told him about his idea . Once finished, he pulled off his ironclad dino's and sidhe's Pokeballs and gave them (Nathan) a nervous, questioning looking, before he looked down at his feet and almost mumble out this:
".....Is that a good plan, Nathan?"
Can you get it down to 1d6-1? If so it will never deal any damage and will still spell out a word.

Shiva has 4 Str iirc, so that's a definite yes. Â Pixie's Intimidate + Growl makes Solomon's Str 2 (so the damage pool is 4 D6 before Def), and the Kadabra have 3 Vit. Â Lucky Chant prevents randomc rits, Light Screen does the -1...

(Assuming Terra is the one to command Solomon(The highest STR possible in the group), and all the layers of debuffs are in place/Solomon is not holding a Hard Rock (He has the Lucky Egg for now):
STR (5) + 2 - Intimidate (1) - Growl (1) - Wide Guard (3) - Light Screen (- 1) - Holding Back - 3 VIT = Always 1D6 - 1 Damage.
That means that we need either that ANYONE can use Solomon without hurting the Kadabra,assuming Wide Guard is in play to further reduce Damage. If that's the case, could you automatically do this puzzle solver for us, Iron?)

Then he makes a Roaring noise until your attention is on you. Looking over, you see Luxray has sorted the Kadabra into two groups. Shiva is the one to notice the sorting mechanism - one group is male and one is female.

Shiva's watching these tied up, fainted and now sorted Kadabra with interest, attention and curiosity, her compassion for them receives another boost once it became clear that Nathan's dad has INDEED been transformed into an inhabitant by these Chambers. She frowns heavily at the tought of a Pokemon belonging to a family even in blood - that's dear and creepy at the same time.
Nathan more or less starring at her directly quickly directs her mind back to the current planet, as she draws her gothloli fortune teller's Premier Ball she voices her thoughts carefully. "It's surely worth a try, yes, even if Lilith has never gotten the chance to actually meet your dad. Or rather, she didn't do so for the time she's been under my care."
To Gothy: "So, dear one, we'll play some sort of game now: Obscure your senses please and tell me which of these Kadabra *gestures to the group of male exemplars* you feel drawn to most." Given Shiva herself has a natural talent with Psychic Types given her awakened blood and co. and her massive empathy, she actually joins in that.
There is also one more thing that she remembers: Nathan's dad has a habit to care and patch up wounded Baby Pokemon, and
there's that group of Baby Pokemon led by a Buneary she once helped out, those that were on the way to the Skull Ruins appearantly. Now, putting the puzzle pieces together, if she'd only could find them again, they could tell which Kadabra is the one that we're looking for. (It's been said me having helped them will make a difference later: Later = in this case??)
