>>14925772"Uhh...the flowery path!" your answer is quick and rushed, but you know for a fact that it rings true.
It's all thanks to reverse-reverse-REVERSE psychology. See the thing is, normally you are to never trust a puppet and their cocky conniving ways, therefore you assume Grover was actually joshing you about the flower path being the way to Lumiose.
HOWEVER.
Reverse-reverse psychology dictates that the seemingly "optimistic" path is actually the more dangerous of the two whenever paired with a more blatantly evil path. That is to say, the evil path isn't actually as evil as it seems and the good path is the rape machine route.
Finally, according to the rules of morality first written and stated in stories as far back as Homer's
Oddysee, the most treacherous path is also the most rewarding to heroes brave enough to conquer it. Whether you like it or not, the flowery path shall always lead to your goal: Lumiose City.
'God, I am so damn smart when I want to be...'
"Are you sure, Calem? I'm in no mood to backtrack and I'm sure you aren't eith-"
"It's the right way, Miss. Let's keep going."
Unfortunately for you, you're the protagonist of this story, and the protagonist never has luck, not even the form of easy simple decisions. As soon as you and Miss Leading step five feet into the flowery path, a cloud poofs in front of you.
"HEEEEELLLLOOOOOO!~ I am the Great Gazoo!-"
You slap your forehead, "Aww shit another fucking wacky thing that talks..." you mutter under your breath.
The Great Gazoo crosses his arms behind his head and floats closer to you, "Whhhhhhy, I need to know something! Exactly how many GOLDEN BANANAS have you collected thus far on your journey?"
A) "What the hell are you talking about?" with aggravation.
B) "Uh.... 64?"
C) "How many do I need?"
