Louie grunted,"So we got to stay ahead of him then. Or take a way he won't expect us to take. But then again, there ain't really many ways to get to Hoenn..." Louie said as he walked with Scratch. Though he made a beeline for shelves of food, sniffing at them. Fancy foods. Well... fancy to him, Ricky was normally to broke to buy stuff like this. Whelp... Louie would have to be sure to eat a good share for Ricky's sake. He began pushing food off the shelves onto the floor. Human food, pokemon food, pet food.
Louie had gathered it all up into a pile when Scratch brought a pack for him. Well, now that would work a lot better, so he shoved in it what he could. With a little bit of trouble, Louie was able to put the pack on with himself, with a little bit of rolling and stretching anyway. Moments later he continued on with Scratch into the Pokemon Center. Once again, Louie was sniffing around, and when Scratch pointed out the map, Louie spat out a energy bar he had been carrying around in his mouth. "Well it's good you can read something. Even just a few words... Anyway, maybe we can find a fast thingy? By the time we get to Hoenn, won't that other group be somewhere else by then?" He asked, then jumped up onto the counter, his paws slipping a little on the finished suface. He always did want to jump up here before. Now he could.
"So what's birdy's problem anyway? You said he hated humans, you'd think he'd just be happy that they be gone. And there has gotta be others out there looking for their humans too. Why this group?" He inquired as he paced on the counter.
