Ken had arrived at Route 38 earlier in the day, he and his Growlithe had made an effort to see all of the region and as it turned out they had only been on route 38 one other time when traveling home for the week. While Ken would have much rather been snuggling up to his girlfriend watching TV, he had decided against doing so. Why? It was simple, he couldn’t protect her if he spent all of his time getting babied! No matter how nice her kisses were he needed to get even stronger than he already was to show her that he was her rock! The body she could lean on whenever she needed. Though, after training there was nothing wrong with a little cuddling in bed.

Facing down his fiery dog Pokemon Ken stood at his full height and gripped his fist as he took a deep inhale, “Alright, you’ve been doing a heck of a lot better ever since I caught you in the Ice path, but it looks like you’re still hesitant to go all out.” his voice would boom across the route as he tried to invigorate his Pokemon, “We’re going to get training on a serious level now! Come at me with everything you’ve got boy!”

The little red dog would bark at his trainer as if he were agreeing with every word the man said and without any doubts bolted at the blonde man. Taking a step forward Ken threw a punch, it connecting with his fire type’s mane, it was held back of course, but even if he went full power it probably wouldn’t have done much. That was how much he believed in his Pokemon’s potential.

Growlithe would snap at his trainer with a mouth of razor-sharp teeth, but Ken would meet him with a palm to his snout every time his Pokemon tried to get an easy chomp in. This would continue on for a while until he would hear footsteps coming toward them from the other side of the route.

“Hold on boy, I think we’ve got a Pokemon coming.” he’d place a hand on his pokemon’s head and faced the direction of the pattering feet, “The perfect training partner! Let’s get him!”Arashi Hyuuga

Ken had heard the Pokemon cry out about not being a Pokemon,” that’s exactly what a Pokemon would say!” He rushed forward through the darkness and narrowed his eyes as he cried out for his growlithe to attack. As soon as they were in range he’d cock back his fist and let loose a might roar: “COME HERE BOY.” he was just about to clean this Pokemon’s clock before he opened his eyes and stopped his fist from colliding with the male’s face just a few inches.

Putting his arm down he shook his hands and chuckled, “Oh hey, you were right, you’re not a Pokemon after all!” he laughed as he whistled for his growlithe to stop it’s potential assault on the male, the Pokemons stopping in mid air as it fell back to the ground from its pounce.

“You know man, you should be more careful walking around at night like this! If I wasn’t such a nice guy I probably would have accidentally punched you there.” he looked the man up and down, they looked sort of like every other guy he met. Crazy hair cut, crazy look in their eyes and an even more crazy physique: No mass.

“What are you doing out here?”Arashi Hyuuga
