While Tinuviel quickly caught up to the enthusiastic Grass Type, Aika took her time, catching up with the others at the Crossroads. [color=ec008c]"Alright, Treasure Town is South from here, so that means we go..."[/color] Fumi started, Aika cutting in. [color=silver]"Always Left. Right leads down into the Forest Crevice, and that's a dead end."[/color] Aika stated, letting Fumi have a moment to recall that fact. [color=ec008c]"Oh... right... you can see why I'm not the leader, like ever."[/color] She said, laughing it off and scratching the back of her head. [color=ec008c]"So... which one of you want's to lead then?"[/color] Fumi asked.

[color=silver]"I can, if you don't mind Tinuviel. I usually take the lead when Wade and Scarlet aren't around."[/color] Aika explained. [color=ec008c]"Yeah! And she's the one that came up with the route we're gonna take! You fine with that, Tin'?"[/color] She asked with a big smile on her face.

As Luna was about to reply to Mermes' words, she sensed a familiar presence even before his words reached her ears. [color=0072bc]"Shade... you know you missed this morning's meeting, it was important too..."[/color] She sighed, looking over at him. [color=0072bc]"That's the third time this week, you know. If you keep missing them, Spirit will have you on cleaning duty for a month."[/color] She finished, looking over at her small group. [color=0072bc]"And, no, she's not a recruit. She's just arrived today, and I'm helping her feel welcome here."[/color]

As the two talked, Wade and Scarlet turned their attention to the Buizel. [color=f26522]"Well... yes, there are a lot of places in the world that are dangerous. And that's why Pokemon avoid them."[/color] Scarlet said. [color=00aeef]"And that's why those are the best places to explore. So many lost and forgotten treasures and discoveries waiting to be found..."[/color] Wade continued.

[color=f26522]"And being afraid isn't a bad thing. As Guildmaster Luna says, Fear is something every Pokemon has. Those who can control it live their lives to the fullest..."[/color] Scarlet started. [color=0072bc]"But those who let it consume them day in and day out can never truly live. You remember well."[/color] Luna finished, Scarlet grinning and blushing slightly. [color=0072bc]"Now, Shade, you'd probably better go report in at the Guild. Spirit should still be there. As for me, these two need their weekly training."[/color] She said, turning back to Mermes. [color=0072bc]"Would you like to join us? You might learn something."[/color]
