[Mafuyu glances up at the ledge Minako mentions, shielding her eyes from sun glare and dust. She can tell her Pokemon is weak just by the way it skirts around her ankles with a growl rumbling in its stomach the same way a cat's purr calms itself down, but she has little reason to believe that wild Pokemon are positioned in order of strength-- where she's from, the strong envelop the weak, protect them and control over them as a single unified territory. And this isn't a video game, after all, it's real life.
Nevertheless, she nods after some hesitation, backing up quietly from where she stands towards the downward slope.]
...Nn. I got it.
[She has every reason to pick a fight right now. She wants to fight! She's itching to get out there and do something. But when she glances over at Minako, standing so resolute in her decision, Mafuyu can't help but think her reasons childish in comparison. So she crouches down in front of her Snubbull, speaking to it in hushed tones.]
Remember how the town smelled? Mom's cooking, and something like the ocean? Take us back.
[The Snubbull nods and turns to run. They can trust in Snubbull's nose to lead them to New Bark the fastest and shortest way there.]
