I imagine quite a number of you are taking the gym challenge, but I'm curious as to what reason. Boredom? Some kind of obligation? That it just might lead to a way home?

I'm not sure. Either way I recently earned my second badge and expect to head back to Goldenrod in the near future. [A small pause here and his voice takes on a wistful little note.] Am quite excited to return to Ilex Forest. I believe it will be a beautiful sight and an invigorating hike.

[Click! Both badges are obviously mod-approved. And action for anyone in Azalea - if you find him, he's hanging from a tree by his knees, kid-style, browsing his pokégear while doing so and ... looking quite comfortable. Any gear-replies will be done in this fashion, too. Have fun with that!]

[he'll collect those grins in a jar :D]

How long are you staying in Ilex Forest, anyway?

[tapestodiane]

A week at most. I don't plan on staying as much as enjoying it all the way through at a leisurely pace.

Just as well. It's true that People nowadays seem too focused on getting to where they're going.

[tapestodiane]

The journey is half the experience, after all, if not more.

[reveiller]

After all, that's where you spend most of your time-- might as well enjoy it, isn't that right?

[tapestodiane]

Every step of the way. At least as much as you're able. _{[Hint of a teasing tone.]} So did you end up with a muzzle, earplugs or both?

[a bit of a huff here. you got him. a grin--] Either would've been better than the sprained ankle I did get.

[tapestodiane]

_{[His smile grows slowly in ... a sort-of excitement. Share your stories, Fuji!]} How did that happen?

[reveiller]

[have a grin yourself, Coop.]

A long and arduous tale. Do you think you can take it?

video.

[tapestodiane]

I'm feeling pretty confident.

Well, remember the ruins expedition that happened a couple of months ago?

video.

[tapestodiane]

_[Nod.] It was a wonderful expedition, despite the number of mishaps.

[reveiller]

And the floor conveniently caving in under everyone.

video.

[tapestodiane]

Ah. So that happened to you too.

[reveiller]

I've never been in a cave-in before, so I suppose you could say it was fairly exciting.

The sprained ankle was something I could've lived without, though.

[tapestodiane]

I can imagine. I was lucky enough to have someone break my fall, but I guess that was bit of a privilege.

Unfortunately, the people I was traveling with didn't exactly lend themselves to miraculous acts of charity.

Maybe you should start making sure you're always last in line when exploring new places.

[reveiller]

Mm, tempting. But the photos won't come out nearly as nicely.
