Today led to some reflections on our situation.

Here we are, just traipsing through the countryside, loving every minute of our competitive and competition-heavy lifestyle. We've got a winning streak of five, and each of the gym badges is a nice addition to the old trophy case, as it were. We've come a long way. 

Which begs the question, where's Dewott?

I'm not referring to Dewmaru... though he really takes after his older brother, I'm talking about the one that flew the coop after one of his beloved scallop shells was broken by Trevor. I wonder where he is now... probably off living the life of a ronin, dueling every now and then but mainly living by his own rules. That's probably what's gone on since he left. 

I received a message back from Glaceon today while I was helping break camp. She seems to like how things are going, but misses me quite a bit. It's the same both ways, in case I haven't clarified that already. I thanked the Pidgey and sent him off to go do whatever it is they do. 

The stars are sure nice. I can't see stars this clearly back home. The entire expanse of sky is dotted with little specks of light like a cloud of dust thrown across dark silk by some godly being. It's nice. I think I'll sleep easy tonight.

Speaking of such, I'd better get to that... I'll write again later.
