Naomi stepped back, and giggled as 'Tai 'posed'. But when Makka winked at her, she froze, startled and wide-eyed as a blush rose to her cheeks.<br/><br/><span style="color: #6495ED">"H..how did you kn... never mind!"</span>she said, flustered.<br/><br/>Fortunately, about then, the whistle got Makka's attention, allowing her to turn away and sneak a shy smile at 'Tai. And whatever that signal was, it seemed to be important.<br/><br/>So Naomi stalked off the field, back to pack up her work. Eleyna's dex had finished and restarted, all ready for use. And the copy program she'd set running on the other 'dex was finished. It was a quick matter to pull and pack up the intact long-term storage unit, and clean up her workspace.<br/><br/>'Tai had gone off after Makka already, as curious as she was. She followed them both, threading her way through the fields and to where the fight had started between Kikuchiro and the Growlithe. Somehow, Eleyna had actually gotten through to him.<br/><br/>Naomi couldn't help but smile at Eleyna afterwards, seeing the look on her face. And it occurred to her...<br/><br/>She put her hand in her bag, rummaging, and then walked up to Eleyna. Instead of hugging her right away, she cleared her throat, and adopted a parody of an old professor's voice that she once knew.<br/><br/><span style="color: #6495ED">"Ah, right! So your name is Eleyna, then? Are you a boy or a girl? No, no wait, I can see you're a girl. And you have a pokemon! That's wonderful, pokemon are great companions! For some people, they're pets. For others, they fight with them, and me, well, I research them! So! Take good care of your pokemon!"</span><br/><br/>She pauses, blinking and adjusting her glasses.<span style="color: #6495ED">"Oh, that reminds me, I have a request. Here, take this!"</span>She holds out Eleyna's rebuilt pokedex. It doesn't look the same as the old, encased in a hand-held one-piece device with the front of it being occupied by a touchscreen. The casing itself is an attractive blue, with gold trim.<span style="color: #6495ED">"This is a Pokedex, it automatically records data on pokemon you encounter or catch. It's a high-tech database. Making a complete guide to all the pokemon in the world was my dream!"</span><br/><br/>Naomi melodramatically poses, her hand to her forehead.<span style="color: #6495ED">"Alas, I'm tooo old! I can't do it! So! I want you to complete it for me! Fulfill my dream, Eleyna!"</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
