We will be arriving at Alola Region in a few hours, Thank you and have a wonderful time in this island filled paradise!" [/color] An announcement passes through the ship's speakers and into Satou's cabin as he felt his Growlithe's tongue pressing down against his face. The energetic Growlithe continues to lick its trainer until finally, the boy woke-up from his slumber. "Agh, you sure don't know the meaning of personal space, now do you boy?" The boy gently shoves away the flame Pokemon and groggily wakes up, wiping the drool all over his cheek. After completing his morning routine, Satou and his Growlithe went to the port of the ship to get some fresh morning air and take a view of what the region looks like. Satou stretches his arms and basks in the morning sun, enjoying the beautiful scenery from the region's horizon. He felt calm and determined, looking forward to his new beginning. Satou then reaches out a piece of newspaper from his pocket and shows it to his Growlithe. "See this boy? this is the reason I want to learn to become a trainer, this pretty boy, rock enthusiast right here, Mr. Steven Stone himself. Man, he so cool! riding that Mega Metagross like a boss, Traveling around the world as he pleases while being a hero and an ex-champion at the same time." He said with a smile while pointing his index finger at the photo. "Rowwwlithe!" Growlithe agrees with a bark and wags its fluffy tail. "Someday I'll achieve great things like he does and you as my trusty companion! we'll start our journey here! are you with me boy?" The red-haired kid said, striking a pose, pointing at the Alola region. His Growlithe lets loose loud barks in response. "What's all that ruckus! it's 7 in the morning for crying out loud!" said one of the annoyed cabin crew. "Pipe down your Pokemon, kid. You're making the other passengers uneasy. Besides, get your stuff ready we're approaching the dock in a few minutes." "Heh, Sorry about that" Satou said, quickly covering Growlithe's mouth with his hand. "Come on boy, let's go get our stuff." with that, they went to their room and ready to board the island. [color=39b54a]Upon arriving at the docks:[/color] "That's strange, There's no one here by this photo in the brochure." Satou scratches his head as their headmaster is nowhere to be found in the area. "I guess we'll just have to wait then" The red-head boy divides a piece of bread for himself and his Growlithe as they wait patiently. "Keep your eyes peel boy, I'm sure he is here somewhere. He's the headmaster after all, he can't be that irresponsible to keep the student waiting on their first day." "Growww.." Growlithe answered.
