[color=e04f4f]‘There could just be a bunch of sacred places. Stillwood Village can have its own ancient mythology. I just remember hearing about it while researching my own ancient mystery,’[/color] Anise said with a shrug. [color=e04f4f]‘You don’t have to solve this one,’[/color] she remarked, sounding almost like the first step in an intervention.

She did look the tiniest amused by Crocus being infatuated with the Chikorita. She crossed her arms and watched curiously.

The specific one Chikorita that Crocus approached looked at him curiously as he approached, and made his noise… then smiled happily and called.

[color=dbe4ba]‘Chiko!’[/color] it called, and then bounced forward at him before starting to try to run in circles around him and then just generally wanting to play. Skipping around through a bunch of flowers or so. Not a romantic gesture, just wanted to play. Meganium just rested peacefully. The other Chikorita was also curious and wanted to play, really.

[hider=if Crocus plays for long enough][color=dbe4ba]‘Chiko!’[/color] Chikorita called and gestured for Crocus to follow the Leaf Pokémon, and then it dashed behind the mossy rock.[/hider]

Perhaps once upon a time people had a settlement here. Regardless, it was a long time ago and now nature had reclaimed this place many times over. A pathway can be taken past ancient rocks, but here stands even more ancient trees. Like in Stillwood Village, the trees cover up the overhead so little light comes through, but there is enough light to see. The place is thick with trees, ruins, moss and rocks. Navigating can be a challenge, but fortunately the forest here is not particularly deep. However, the inexperienced would be advised against trying to engage any of the Pokémon around here… and to perhaps bring a gas-mask, because the air is so thick with pollen that some people might have trouble breathing.[/hider]

[hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Search the area. [i]Maybe find a Pokémon that isn’t immediately obvious, look for items or inspect the ruins for interesting things?[/i]
2. Train Pokémon. [i]Just be aware that most things here can probably eat you alive.[/i]
3. Specify. [i]If you specify what you want to do, the GM will take it into account and tell the result.[/i]
4. Trigger random event. [i]Force the GM to use his imagination to make a scenario for you.[/i]
5. Archie. [i]The Gym Leader of Stillwood Village is somewhere in the forest.[/i][/hider]
