THE FINAL CHECKPOINT It feels like the answer to some riddle: the right way is right. And so far, that riddle has proven true.
The solemnity of your decision is met with a curtsey as the Florges accepts your choice readily. The other path closes abruptly in a curtain of moss and vines at the Pokemon's behest, unable to be retread.
Your choice at the final checkpoint is decided; your path is set.
You go RIGHT.[break]
THE HEART OF THE MAZE
The world seems to spread out before you in a limitless expanse of greenery as the walls of your path fall away with each step, receding to reveal instead an elegantly appointed courtyard. A beautiful tree flourishes at its centre, where an old man sits in the shade, waiting for you patiently.
The Pansage that is his companion runs up to you curiously, sniffing at you and your Pokemon before chittering and scampering back up the tree from which he came.
"A man, a child, and now you a young woman," the old man says, pulling himself up from the ground with a cane. "What an interesting group I've had the pleasure of meeting." He totters over to you at a calm, steady pace, chuckling. "Did you find it difficult? I asked that florist to make it challenging indeed, but she might have taken my words too much to heart. Even so, I am glad you found me here."
He gestures, then, to the enormous tree behind him. "You know what that is?" he says, clasping his hands behind his back as he admires it. "A kasib berry tree. My family has tended to this one in Fortree for generations. They are slow-growing trees, but their berries give great power to the Pokemon that consume them. So there is some responsibility to be had, in who receives such a precious gift."
A brief pause inserts itself in his monologue as he turns to you, saying at last, "Ceri Glynn, I believe you are worthy of such a gift. It would give me great pleasure indeed if you would take one such Kasib berry for your own, for I am growing old, and I have no use for such a thing. But perhaps, as Hoenn faces its most uncertain era yet, someone like you can make a difference with even something as small as this."
The Pansage climbs back down from the tree, your hard-won prize in hand:[break]
AN IMMEDIATELY REDEEMABLE KASIB BERRY. You have PASSED the final checkpoint![break][break] You have also COMPLETED THE MAZE, earning an additional 50PD for your efforts!
A single path leads the way out of the maze, where Elisabeth Fiorelli greets you at last with a slow, pleased smile.
"Impressive work," she says sincerely as the Bellossom at her side dances jubilantly at your arrival. There is perhaps nothing else that needs to be said.
[break][break] You have EXITED the maze and are eligible for the following prizes when this thread closes: [break]
100 PD[break] FIVE POKEBALLS[break] THREE TM/TR MOVES[break] THREE SPARKLING DUSTS[break] THREE FREE EVOLUTIONS[break] IMMEDIATE-USE KASIB BERRY[break][break]
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
