He tells Yoh to fight him in Amidamaru's cemetery. When Silva demonstrates his oversoul and evades all of Yoh's attacks, he witnesses Yoh's change in skill. Silva watches Yoh's first oversoul, and he challenges Yoh with his Totem Pole Oversoul. The two clash. Silva whose bandana is cut gives Yoh, his oracle pager.

In Yoh's first match, he watches with Kalim. Kalim argues that Horohoro (Kalim's Patch Mentee) will win due to his strength while Silva tells Kalim that the shaman who has the most skill will win, Yoh. Silva's predictions come true.
