I winked at Dylian - it's funny because it's true. He seemed a bit peeved afterwards. I hadn't felt happy in some time now. While I was looking around and waiting for Celes, she had walked off towards her former home, with everyone else following. I personally didn't want to go to her house since I wasn't exactly comfortable with the idea of meeting her family, but... 'team.' Swallowing my distrust of others, I followed alongside Spruce, feeling a bit sick from the sun. Not even 10 minutes passed and we were already within the heart of the Plains. Around us, Pokemon came and went, looking at us and behaving like curious folk. Perhaps they were suffering from heatstroke. Better yet, this place alone was making them mad. What caused Mystery Dungeons? Void Orbs? It was plausible - already everything felt 'balanced,' as if the universe became communist. Well, (damn) Davis would refer to this as 'communism.'

It was sweltering, and I was just able to pick out some wavy words in our group. Suddenly, we were hallucinating. A grand house, guarded with compound-like walls. Or whatever else they used to keep mindless Pokemon out. It wasn't a juxtaposition though - it fit the theme, somehow. Other than that, the wild Pokemon eventually stopped trying to take a look at us or run away, just disappearing altogether. How far did we travel to get here? "You could at least build a little closer to Allure Town. Preferably somewhere with a cooler climate." I said, looking up and stupidly blinding myself briefly. Not a cloud in the sky.
