Halls of perfectly-trimmed hedges stretched out in all directions, coiling and curling in on themselves. As she approached the maze, the unofficial Chryssa Glasgow was reminded of a great serpent, its body a mass of corners and cruel angles. 

She was here to test herself today, and she clutched the scrap of paper in her hand a tiny boy with a shaved head and a crimson sarong on the road had sold to her. He'd told her in deep, resonant tones that it would be the key to her success in the labyrinth ahead, and she had no reason to think he would lie. Until proven otherwise, anyone could be a secret roadside guru. 

As the young woman reached the first split in the path, she muttered the "pass phrase" under her breath. "Scarlet... scarlet... scarlet..."

She held up the slip of paper like it would light her path, trusting in the stranger's words. Did it seem to tug left in her hands, or was it just the wind?

THE FIRST CHECKPOINT


The wind teases and taunts you, drawing your attention to the left. Does the wind mock you, or wish you well? Your own intuition, you suppose, will reveal the answer.

The Roselia guarding this first of many choices nods at your decision, bowing as she steps aside to let you enter your chosen path. The other closes abruptly in a curtain of moss and briars at the Pokemon's behest, unable to be retread.

Your choice at the first checkpoint is decided; your path is set.

You go LEFT.[break]

OUT OF THE WOODS



You follow the long and winding path of the maze, eyes scanning for the next possible glimpse of the promised checkpoint ahead. The flowers, however, seem to furl up and diminish in your shadow; it occurs to you, after some time of endless wandering and meandering, that your path only goes one way.

Out.

The radiant smile of a Bellossom greets you, dancing over to you with a consolation gift in her hands. Next to her, the figure of her trainer, , gives a small, sympathetic smile. "Taking risk is, in itself, worthy of a reward," she says, gesturing for you to open the proffered box.
