'Tai chirped appreciatively, nodding back to Eleyna at her expression of thanks. The drowzee gave a thumbs up, with that wry little smirk he always seemed to be wearing.<br/><br/>As Eleyna fed the rocky creature, Naomi knelt on the other side of the rhyhorn, giving Eleyna an understanding look and a faint smile. "You could always ask him if he wants to come along. He seems easy going enough. I'm sure Somnificent could get your meaning across."<br/><br/>She looks over at her two pokemon, who were chatting with each other, probably about the mural. 'Tai was sitting on his coils, swaying back and forth as different features of it caught his attention, the pudgy yellow drowzee standing next to him. Naomi gestured to beckon Somnificent over.<br/><br/>"Maybe there's notes in there that will help, too. Did your mom come across a rhyhorn in her travels?"<br/><br/>She looked at the placid rhyhorn munching down the trail ration. "And he's placid, easy-going, maybe easy to convince if you can figure out what he values most. So, isn't that the mark of a trainer, like you said? Being able to connect with your pokemon companions? This is just happening before you actually have him on your team."<br/><br/>She smiled across at Eleyna. "Think of it as another step in your journey to become a top trainer. I don't know of many average trainers who are able to charm or convince one to join them."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
