"Thunder fang!" Kael exclaimed, pointing at a nearby tree.

The large Pokemon beside Kael complied, and quickly rushed over to the target at a surprising speed. Upon reaching it's destination, it bit down upon the tree, there was visible fire coming from the Pokemon's mouth, yet the fire didn't consume the tree completely; it stayed at a concentrated point, and almost immediately disappeared as the Pokemon quickly released it's grip on the innocent foliage. 

"[i]Decent[/i] work, Drapion." Kael said, praising the creature's efforts. He looked at the tree - it hadn't been damaged much, but there were obvious bite marks, and the bark on the tree had also been charred where the bite marks were. The Drapion saw this also, and walked over to Kael - expecting more praise. Kael smiled, and patted the Pokemon on the head. Drapion had been extremely friendly to Kael - mainly because they had been around eachother for a long while. The Pokemon belonged to Kael's mother, who still uses it now and again to battle against Kael's father. Every once and a while Kael and Drapion would go to Lake Verity to practice some Pokemon moves, it helped Kael prepare for what was to come. Speaking of which, Kael realized that he needed to be in Sandgem town quite a while ago, and he was missing out.

"I'm sure you're able to make your way back." He said to the Drapion. The large Pokemon nodded in agreement, before quickly scuttling back to Kael's house. 
Kael on the other hand, began to make his way to Sandgem town. His attitude seemed to shift to that of a calmer, more laid back one also, as he passed through the trees which linked Verity Lakefront to route 201. He also passed both large and small amounts of grass before finally reaching Sandgem town. As he began to approach the lab, a flock of Starly flew past him, yet he didn't flinch at how close they were. 

It took a while, but Kael noticed he was not the first person to arrive. He silently regretted using Drapion for one last training session for once. He considered saying something, but what could be possibly say? That he was late? Definitely not. Kael would wait out a response from one of them, although he hoped that the professor would just come out and relieve the slightly awkward situation he may have created.
