The moss that had clung to the tree trunks was no longer simply prevalent, but pervading. There were no longer spears of sunlight piercing the canopy above, but instead a ambient glow of sunlight filtering and dancing above. The woods had become so dense that any number of Pokemon and other hazards could be hidden just nearby, and they wouldn't know it until they were upon them.<br/><br/>Eleyna stopped, looking at the green labyrinth ahead.<span style="color: blue">Uhm... I think we should stop now... or go back.</span>She called to Scarlett. She reached out and grabbed a long, sturdy shoot of Bamboo that reached up into the canopy above. Eleyna looked around, growing uncomfortable. She could hear things now within the forest, things deep and far away. They heralded Pokemon within that she could not see, and that she feared she could not defend herself against. She wasn't sure of Scarlett had heard her - as she had not yet answered Eleyna's question from some time earlier.<br/><br/>Eleyna had never seen a place like what lay before her. She wondered how many had. Her mother had spoken of places - deep places - so seldom seen by human eyes that the Pokemon had lived for centuries. Her mother had spoken of them with reverence, and had spun tales about a sense of the mystical about them. Like places that were at once alike the world around them, but led to places strange and unknown. There was a story that she told, one that Eleyna seldom heard - it was in a place like this that her mother had become a trainer, a true trainer. She had said that she found something within the forest, something that was in herself all along but had been waiting in the forest to be found. Eleyna had never understood what the story meant, and her mother never cared to elaborate. But here, now, staring into the heart of it, Eleyna had to admit, there was something peculiar about the place.<br/><br/>She yelped loudly when she heard something behind her, spinning around, frightened.<br/><br/>She let out a long breath and smiled, placing her hand on her chest to calm her suddenly racing heart.<span style="color: blue">You scared me...</span>she said, seeing the group before her.<span style="color: blue">I... I thought you had all gone after the Blitzle. What happened? Did you already catch them? I didn't think we had been gone that long.</span>She noted that they were all packed, and as she and Scarlett had only paused but a few times, the group must have left not long after she and Scarlett had.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><b>You are now entering the Deep Forest</b><br/><br/><div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">

</div><br/>The forest is dense, proceed with caution. It would be easy for someone to lose their bearings within and become lost. Pokemon could be hidden very close, as could items.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
