I suppose it is no stranger than some of the other things that I've seen to occur in this strange land. And Aulos has already defended me many times from other Pokemon that seemed set upon attacking us, so I suppose it would not be too much of an adjustment to try to ask one of them to come with us. [ By throwing things at them! ] Assuming you approve, of course.

[ The last part is directed at Aulos, who coos softly. ]
