You're starting to regret your bike trip. Sure, it was fun, but it was tiring, and took all your morning. As a result, you're now making your way through a thick march, past sunset, doing your best to stay on the road.

You pass a short bridge, hearing water splash below you. You feel a small push, drawing your attention to a glow off the side of the road. The smell of roasting nuts reaches you as you try to see what's out there.

Jake's body started the trip upright and perky, but his spine began to curve more and more as they traveled on and on. The fatigue from the extensive, hard biking the day before and that morning was setting in. He had hoped that they would come across the next town in less than a day of travel, but it was becoming increasingly evident that Jake had little sense of scale outside of a city.

When they saw the glow and smelled the nuts, Jake stopped and signaled to be quiet and whispered,
"You think it might be Team Gaia again? Maybe we should check it out quietly."

Jake then began trying to creep forward quietly towards the glow to get a better look. It would be pretty bold of Team Gaia to camp so close to the road, but it could also be other nasty trainers looking to jump the competition and make a quick buck.

Seymour, having been about to call out to whoever was nearby, realized how foolish that could have been. Had he not learned his lesson yet. Luckily Jakey was there to be the voice of reason. "Let me know what you find," Seymour whispered. He stayed on the trail since he was not at all confident in his ability to sneak anywhere. He kept a line of sight on Jakey though, and was ready to rush to his aid if he ran into any trouble.
