I overhear what Celes was saying about herself, about how she wanted to choose her own evolution, her own path in life. [i]That certainly seems like a valid reason, I mean, at least she ran to the guild instead of somewhere like Birchwood Forest. I suppose I should feel lucky, then, that my parents let me choose my own path in life.[/i] I think as I start heading towards Foggy Plains. The place was over to the west and thankfully, there was a way to get to it without entering Treasure Town. "Alright, everyone, let's go." I say to my team before heading off. I made sure that my team followed me, and slowed down just to make sure everyone was able to follow me to this new area. Surely nobody would want to miss out on this, not with the possibility of a long-forgotten treasure in a place that didn't seem like it had pokemon that were too tough for us to handle. That was when I overheard M saying something about Celes turning herself in... or something similar, "Celes isn't turning herself in, she should be able to choose her own future, and, uh, she's a vital part of the team by now." I say in response to what M was ranting about. Oddly enough, I didn't have any memories of exploring this place with Vine, though, he did tend to leave me out of his explorations after a while, this didn't seem like the kind of place he wouldn't take me to. After following the map and hardly looking up from it, I finally reach my destination, or, no, wait, I got lost, somewhere and ended up on the opposite side of Arnold's Guild. "Uh... whoops... is there anyone here that's good with maps?" I ask my team, somewhat embarrassed that I led us in some sort of giant circle. I turn back to see my team and notice Celes wearing that vine scarf I kinda made for her, and decide to try to not smile... this time, it actually worked, though, the expression I WAS making to cover up my smile was probably hilarious, and not an actual expression.

Hex flew off to try to help the bellsprout, and Josh wasn't being very responsive for some reason, so I had to sit and wait as the bellsprout said something along the lines of "W-well... I'm supposed to be the leader, right? Well, I'd just like to have a team where I don't have to run for cover every time one of my teammates attacks. I feel like such a coward, and you probably think I'm a coward, huh?" of course, I wasn't paying much attention, and that bellsprout could have said anything, but that SEEMED to be what he was saying. [i]I guess not everyone can be fearless, like me... ah, what am I thinking? That's stupid, I mean, I am afraid of spinarak... oh, and its evolution. Well, those and seviper, possibly even ekans and its evolution, too... heck, even espurr gives me the creeps.[/i] I think, getting completely off-topic for a while and somehow ending up listing all of my fears in my head. I had almost forgotten what my original thought was, but, it did keep me busy. I then notice Spruce take off somewhere, obviously on his own mission, which I'd rather be on than just standing around at the guild and probably make a mess of the place just due to the fact that I'm a very slimy pokemon. Of course, their cleaning standards can't be that high, they have a grimer as a fellow apprentice of the guild, though, the do tend to keep him outside, with the rest of his team, a trubbish and a koffing. Of course, that doesn't mean that they are never inside, they're just not in here as often as myself, Spruce, or our teams.
