The way I figure, it'll affect certain Pokemon moves and not others. For example, Pikachu can naturally store and emit electricity, like an electric eel, so Touma won't be able to negate that. Now, if a Pokemon that doesn't normally have such an ability, like a Wigglytuff or an Alakazam used an Electric attack, he'd be able to negate that. He'll also be able to negate any and all Psychic and Ghost moves, since those are preternatural by default. Moves like Hidden Power, Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, Aura Sphere, etc., etc. can also be negated. On the other hand, he won't be able to do a thing about any moves that require the Pokemon to physically touch him, like Focus Punch or Tackle. Moves like Substitute, Barrier and Protect will also be negated with a single touch. Incidentally, he'll be able to punch Ghost Pokemon.
Well, it's really a case-by-case thing, but if you think about it, it's pretty easy to tell what Touma's ability would and wouldn't be able to negate.
... Before that, what, are you planning on attacking him with Pokemon or something?
Ahh, that. There's actually a character in canon who has a similar ability: the power to turn his thoughts into reality. Touma was able to negate anything that guy summoned with his right hand. Whether it was a car or electricity, and even when the guy stopped another character's heart, Touma was able to negate the effects. If he touched a Shinkenger while transformed directly, he can probably even undo the transformation.
Well, don't worry. It's not like Touma enjoys fighting or anything, and he won't fight unless absolutely necessary.
Besides, all the Shinkengers are skilled fighters, right? Even if Touma can negate their swords, it shouldn't be easy to beat them. Touma's fighting ability has been described as: can fight against two normal thugs and might still manage to win, but against three or more, it's better to run.

... my other big question is about the Shinkenmaru. Does it affect summoned objects that are otherwise normal?
