Naomi stands half-bent over, her hands on her knees once Eleyna stops moving, then arches in a stretch. "Oh good...maybe it'll be unoccupied and we can take a break there! I still have no idea.. look, my relationship with 'tai came just from growing up together. I didn't set out to train him, if anything he trained me. We learned each other's moods, and he's a great sounding board. Helped me deal with... relationship problems and breakups, school stress... speaking of school, I had to stop taking him to it because of all the classmates who wanted to see him fight. Or wanted to see him get beat up by theirs so that they could brag about how theirs was stronger than a Dragon-type. I never really set out to... uh.. jump start a relationship with him, it just happened. So I'm completely lost with Azumarill. I have no idea how to approach him or relate to him."<br/><br/>She moves closer as Eleyna calls out to Growlithe. "Yeah, he's a smart-ass, but I think he gets that from you. Or maybe he's sour because of how he was originally caught. Maybe we can figure that out, if we look through your mother's notes on how she got the others she had? Maybe he was the last one. Either that, or you said she had a Rapidash? That would explain why she neglected him. She already had a fast fire type and a strong bond."<br/><br/>As they start towards the putative cave again, she follows up with, "He used to have a pokeball. How'd it get lost?"<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
