It was time, the Growlithe thought, time to start moving again. Kratos approached his napping master staring carefully at his face, making plans to wake him up......None of these plans boded well for his trainer but oh well. The first plan was relatively simple, a nudge with his nose would surely rouse his trainer right? Wrong. The next plan was also simple, a quick session of face-licking to ease his trainer out of a nice nap. However that also failed. That left only one option.........

[b]"YEEEEEOOOOOOW!!"[/b] 

Yup, Kratos executed his final plan. "Ouch Kratos, that really hurt..." Hunter scolded his Pokemon as he gently rubbed his injured nose. "How long was I out for? Aw, doesn't matter. We better get moving." And with that the trainer stood up and started walking through the forest, with any luck he'd make it to Lumiose before nightfall.
----------------------------------------

"Oh finally! Boy am I glad to be out of that grungy forest!" Hunter sighed as he walked the path to Lumiose, or so he hoped. Truthfully Hunter had no idea where he was going. At that Kratos merely offered a bark in agreement, clearly also tired of the forest and it's rather oppressive and still atmosphere. And so they continued walking, coming upon a rather large group of trainers, at the head was a girl who certainly seemed a bit nervous. Still, it was always polite to at least say hi. 

"Yo there!" Hunter shouted as he sprinted towards them, his faithful Growlithe lopping behind him. "You guys wouldn't happen to know the way to Lumiose from here would you? I'm afraid I'm lost, after all being my first trip to Kalos I still need to get my bearings." He gave the strangers his usual, easy smile, and Kratos gave their Pokemon wary looks before finally huffing out his chest and standing as tall as he could muster. After all, if the Growlithe showed weakness what would these other Pokemon think? They'd probably walk all over him, and he was not letting that happen.
