Anise looked between Basil and Uxie, and frowned as she considered. Now, the following questions she’s already received sort of an answer to, but having it be answered by the god of knowledge was fundamentally different.

[color=e04f4f]‘Alright, so I…’[/color]

Then she went ahead and explained at length the quest that she and Basil had departed on, following the prophecy, finding Landorous, getting Lorette’s explanation. That they had received the berries from Landorous, and what it had done in Stillwood Village. That her current quest was to find Landorous and bring him back to the Deepforest Shrine, and that she intended to become stronger first, then somehow find Landorous. Despite this being the “god of knowledge”, it appeared that she didn’t want to assume Uxie just knew all this.

[color=e04f4f]‘… So, I wanted to ask. Do you know how to find or summon Landorous when the time comes, and how I should prepare myself for when it happens?’[/color] Anise eventually answered.

Uxie patiently waited during the story. And, after Anise had finished, it didn’t need any time to consider. Uxie o

sd its eyes. Once again, there was a hole in Basil’s memories, so he couldn’t recall how the eyes had looked. Yet, it seemed Uxie had seen fit to share the answer with Basil.

Landorous can sense whenever an Abundance Berry is planted, and will then make the decision himself if he wants to head there or not. It was likely he decided not to show up when it was planted in the midst of a village. However, plant it somewhere with significance to the Pokémon, say, a shrine, and he is more likely to see it as a summon.

But Anise is correct. When he appears, she should be prepared to prove herself. And to do that, there is nothing else to it. Get stronger. And, as an additional note, an answer to a question Anise didn’t even ask, Landorous will respect someone who holds true to their beliefs far more than someone who intentionally built their team to counter him.

Anise winced a bit from having received her answer, but then her expression steeled itself in determination. She stood up straight, and did a proper martial artist bow to Uxie.

[color=e04f4f]‘Thank you, Master Uxie. My mind has been cleared of all doubt,’[/color] she said.

In response, the Psychic Legendary did a bow of its own, albeit flying in mid-air.

In the time of the story, Chikorita had more than enough time to run back into the area, and happily present Uxie to Crocus again… and then just want to play some more.

What does Basil do now?

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 now right in front of you, intending on dashing away.[/i]
6. Area Specific: Last Area. [i]This ancient forest isn’t particularly deep. You could get to the end in moments if you ignore everything else. Question is, what’s there?[/i][/hider]
