[color=C0C088]‘Hm? Ooooh, you’re looking for a Pinsir, basically the pinnacle of bug catching?’[/color] the Bug Maniac had a cheeky grin on his face as Basil inquired him about the bug. [color=C0C088]‘It’s a really rare Pokémon, I wouldn’t be surprised if you’d never find it on your own… but I COULD be persuaded to give you a tip… but what would you give me in return…?’[/color] the Bug Maniac asked, ever the charitable individual, grinning and with a hand on his chin.

We can return to this conversation depending on what Basil replies to him.

Then there was the guy by the souvenir store over there.

[color=tomato]‘Oh, if you’d like to learn all about it, there’s a whole book about it here! It’s mostly superstition, though, not based on real facts,’[/color] the guy in the shop said, waving a book about the legend of the silent shrine around. [color=tomato]‘Truth is, we don’t even know if that legend is real. The trainer walked alone into Silent Forest, and came out with the guardian Pokémon,  fending off the monster. How many of these guardians there were, how we even know he was blessed by the fairy, we don’t know. Yet, so the legend states. He walked into the Silent Forest, prayed to the fairies for help, and something heard his plea. The guardians came to help, and the monster was defeated. In movies and such, the “fairy” is usually represented by a Floette, but who knows what it really is?’[/color]

Yeah, not too much information to gleam from this guy.

Regardless, Basil now went north, stepping into the forest. The rain started coming down and with the clouds gathering overhead, the air got darker despite that it was daytime. Yet, instead, something inside the forest lit up instead…

Before you lies a forest, dark to the sight but that is mostly due to the clouds gathered overhead. Unlike on Route 3, however, the thickness of the trees prevent actually seeing above the trees. The place has a lonely feeling, made only worse by the constant downpour which is the rain around Rainrock City, yet the place is filled with things one would not expect. There are lanterns shining blue light in the trees, there are arcs around the forest for unknown reasons that sometimes look like they’re glowing themselves. There were definitely mystifying powers at work here, these wooden arcs standing as if guiding the way somewhere, yet they lead nowhere, and are strewn around seemingly randomly.

True to its name, other than the rain barely any sounds come from within the forest. And yet, among the trees, small creatures dwell. Despite the lonely feeling, it is hard to look in a direction and not seemingly see a sign of movement. On the ground, smaller grass-type creatures were invariably found, while larger creatures that enjoy the rain could also be expected. But most of all, the air was populated by small, floating flowers, and the tiny denizens on top of them… This place was fairly well known for the fairies that inhabited it. If you’re looking for a place to name the Fairy Forest of Isson… This is a good candidate.

So, what will Basil do here?
