"Well, psychic abilities are a matter of extrasensory abilities, or the ability to be more aware and use that awareness to do all sorts of things. Pokemon and Enlightened can use their abilities to make actual manifestations of those abilities in different forms. Some psychic abilities, however, can be thrown off by pokemon with certain abilities. Take for example, the ability: Keen Eye. It is not something to be taught, merely observational skills on the part of the pokemon yet it ensures that accuracy cannot be lowered, something many psychic moves from pokemon can cause. Or "Own Tempo," something that allows pokemon to avoid confusion, a very common result from psychic attacks.

My inquiry rests on does it depend on the type, or the mind? An Avalugg who has Own Tempo, is it able to throw off the confusion due to the mind or because of something else?

You are able to help me answer that question! With you, the chance to test this hypothesis will not only be done safely and carefully, but we can record real data and measurable results!"

Ami had gotten so excited about explaining her scientific inquiry that her voice rose a little in volume.
