Jonathan Bradshaw - Cinccino with butterfly wings
Mystical Greenhouse

I wasn't sure what we were going to find as we ventured into here, but I figured as long as I mapped everything out along the way, we were narrowing down the number of places the exit would be, and if everyone pitched in, eventually we'd rule out the number of places either the exit was or where the Trick Master was hiding.

As I turned around, I saw the door behind us, and decided to map that out also. Again, it had a cycle, but there was something interesting I found. The food court was part of that cycle. The first room looked like an old and dusty attic, the second room was a strange wind tunnel room, the third room was a crimson lake, and the fourth room was the actual food court we had just left. Room #5 was a strange wooden room with a lot of clocks of varying shapes and sizes, and Room #6 was some kind of weird rainforest. I noted that new cycle on the door behind me:

  1. Abandoned Attic
  2. Wind Tunnel Room
  3. Crimson Lake
  4. Food Court
  5. The Clock Room
  6. Strange Rainforest


Oddly enough, I recognized the Food Court from before, but the Attic also. I had seen that same attic about a week ago. Some of these rooms were starting to show themselves again, and while I was quite certain this Trick House maze was huge, it wasn't infinite. It might take a long time to map everything out, but it was possible, and that was giving me a lot more hope of getting out of here.

"What a pretty place!" Sonya exclaimed with a smile as she admired all the plants and flowers. "Way better than that dungeon!"

While I nodded, I knew one of us was going to have to explore that dungeon sooner or later. We couldn't only take the nice and pleasant rooms and forgo all the dingy stuff. It would be just our luck the exit was in an unsettling place like that and we kept missing it based on just wanting to see the nicer places.

As I looked around at all the plants and flowers both on the ground, on shelves, and hanging from the pastel-colored ceramic pots hanging from the ceiling, I didn't really see anything that would help us. I figured we could just pass through here and head to the next room after mapping out the room cycle sequence for that door also.

"H-hey, what the-!?" I heard Sonya suddenly yelp.

I quickly turned to her, and I saw her transforming again. Oh great, after all that work in the food court, now she was getting transformed again anyway. Her Oshawott body suddenly changed shape, color, and form and soon enough, she had become a Sunflora. She was suddenly shocked, feeling her new, giant sunflower head with her leaf hands.

"You ate one of them!?" I shouted, thinking she was nuts for doing that.

"N-no, all I did was sniff it!" Sonya shouted, still bewildered. "I promise!"

That was all it took to get transformed by one of these things!? Holy crap, I immediately put my paws on my nose, although that was a pretty lame attempt to try and prevent myself from accidently inhaling something that would have the same effect on me. I tried to moderate my breathing and hold my breath, especially while passing by some of the larger flowers, but in here, my chances of reaching the exit and not getting affected by anything was pretty slim...
