A/N: 4/28/2020 I know I promised...but I ran into a small discrepancy writing Part 17, dealing with Gantu's Pokemon. Somehow I must've been looking at the wrong move set and got Lunatone's all wrong. My apologies!

You may not be able to enter the orange misty woods, but if you follow the forest path South, you enter Sherwood Forest (Also a shortcut from the market street in Arendelle avoiding the mountains). This is a great area to add more members to your team! Available in the tall grass are the Normal/Grass seasonal Deerling, the Normal digging rabbit Bunnelby, the Bug worm Caterpie, the Normal little bear Teddiursa, the Normal/Flying tiny bird Pidgey, the Poison/Dark skunk Stunky, and the Normal evolution Pokémon Eevee.

Not too far into the forest, you can find a Potion, a Great Ball, and the Sunny Day TM. As you go to pick up the TM, a Trainer catches sight of you and approaches.

"Hello!" Youngster Bambi sends out a Bunnelby. He's fast, but you take it down. Next, he sends out Stunky, whose Ability is Aftermath. When you do take it down, the Pokémon dealing the finishing move will also receive damage. Lastly, Bambi sends out Deerling. Its Leech Seed with drain you, but of course you defeat Youngster Bambi.

Further through the woods, you can find a stray Pokéball. Just past the Pokéball, you see a small tree blocking your way to a TM. It's not big and sturdy like the surrounding trees, something perhaps a Pokémon could cut down. You have no choice but to continue on your way.

A little farther, you lock eyes with a Trainer and enter battle. Bug Catcher Flick sends out Caterpie, which you easily defeat. Next is the Bug/Flying Ledyba, whose Special Defense is through the roof! You manage to take it down, and Flick sends out the Bug/Steel ant Durant. His Speed and Physical Attack and Defense are all over 100, so he'll be a tough one to beat. So long as you have a Fire type, you should be able to take it down. Last is Flick's Pinsir, which is pure Bug type. His Vice Grip and Seismic Toss will hit hard with his high Attack Stat. Hang on, and you'll win the match!

Just behind the defeated Flick, you see an Item, but can't get to it because of another small tree blocking your way. Don't worry, it won't be long before those aren't an issue. For now, you're forced to pass it up. Further down the path, you can find the Attract TM.

Up ahead, you see a large tree with a wooden sign nailed to it, as well as what looks like a door. At the tree, a boy approaches you. "You wanna play with me?"

Youngster Christopher Robin sends out Tepig, who falls easily to a Water move. Next, he sends out Bunnelby, which you've dealt with before. When the rabbit is gone, the Ground donkey Mudbray takes its place. Its Stamina Ability will annoy you, because every time you hit it, its Defense goes up. He'll be a challenge, but nothing you can't handle. Next, he sends out the Fire puppy Growlithe. It already knows Take Down, a powerful move for a low leveled Pokémon. You defeat it, and Youngster Christopher is forced to send out his favorite: Teddiursa. For such a cute little bear, he packs a punch! Nevertheless, you claim victory.

Just past the Youngster is the Bullet Seed TM. After you pick it up, the ground shakes rhythmically. The tremors become more and more violent until...a giant grey monster crashes through the trees, his eyes glued to some sort of hi tech device. He looks around and spots you.

"You there! Have you seen the abomination?" You haven't seen anything out of the ordinary, so you tell him so. The giant doesn't believe you, so he sends out the Rock/Psychic meteor Lunatone. This Special Attacker is equipped with Tackle, Rock Throw, Confusion and Hypnosis. You take it down, and Grunt Gantu sends out the Water whale Wailmer. It's HP is incredibly high, so it'll take a while to defeat, but of course you do. Lastly, he sends out the Psychic alien Elgyem. His Telepathy Ability helps him avoid your attacks, but when you do land a hit, it should go down pretty easily.

"Ugh. No matter. I must find Experiment 626. He must be somewhere in this Region..." Gantu lumbers off Northward staring at his tracking device. You notice a strange dark aura around him that unsettles you. However, you have no idea where he came from or who or what he's looking for.

As you try to advance, you have to step around Gantu's giant footprints. His craters unfortunately block a TM behind one of those pesky trees. Don't worry, you can come back for your loot soon. You leave the footprints behind and continue moving forward. To the left, you can see a shimmering hidden passage between two trees, but the magical barrier will not let you pass (Not until you defeat the Champion).

Further down the forest path, you're ambushed by Vigilante Robin Hood at a fork in the road. He sends out the Fire fox Vulpix, which is surprisingly bulky for such a cute creature. When you take it down, he replaces it with the Fire/Normal lion cub Litleo. Watch out for his Ember Attack, otherwise this lion is pretty tame. When Litleo goes down, he replaces it with the Poison snake Ekans. Its Shed Skin Ability will heal it of any status conditions you may try to give it. When the snake goes down, he sends out Bunnelby. You take down the speedy bunny, and Robin Hood sends out Teddiursa. You beat the fluff out of it, and Robin Hood is left with his signature Pokémon, the Fire/Fighting fowl Combusken. He hits hard both Physically and Specially, so you should try to avoid or out speed his attacks. Ultimately, you defeat Robin Hood.

"You're not so bad," he says, handing over a Quick Claw. "Unfortunately, I can't allow you to go this way. The Trainers and Pokémon past this point are much tougher than even me. Maybe when you're stronger, I'll let you through." He stands firm in the middle of the path that leads East, forcing you down the left path. It leads toward a large tree with a hole in the base of its trunk and a Sharp Beak nearby. You see another Item trapped behind a small tree. Keep pushing forward and the trees will eventually clear...
