Amu and his party bid farewell to Abi and Ziluolan and left Huipi Town.
As the champion of this year's "Insect Catching Competition" in the town, Eminem naturally got his seventh badge!
When leaving, Violet also invited Eminem - if you come to the Carlos area in the future, don't forget to go to the "White Sandalwood Gym".
After leaving Huipi Town, Amu and his party headed towards the east coast of the peninsula.
The west coast is dominated by forest terrain, mainly the oak forests that we traveled through before, while the east coast is crossed by the juniper mountain range from north to south. Although there are forests along the coast, the ecology is very different from that in the western part of the peninsula because of the mountains blocking it.
Blocked by mountains and rivers, although the forests on the east coast are small in area, the humidity is high and the temperature is slightly higher, so they are denser and...more secluded!
When Amu and his party left Huipi Town, they first entered the Huipi Mountains, sometimes climbing over the mountains, sometimes drilling holes...
During this period, Sakura also sealed two more [Clow Cards].
It wasn't until February 8th that the four of them came out of the cave entrance on the east side. After taking a break at a Pokémon service point in the wild, they changed their route through the coastal forest.
…
"Huh? Did we get lost here just now?" Sakura suddenly discovered that the two strange trees here looked familiar.
"It seems true...but it's obviously not like this on the map!" Tomoyo also frowned at this time.
But just then...
Only the upper half of the two strange trees were visible, and suddenly each of them opened a pair of scarlet eyes!
And in the next moment...
"Lu la la!"
Before the strange tree could react, a "Gengar" suddenly jumped out from the shadow on the ground, making a sudden grimace...
Affected by the "Fright" of "Gengar", only the upper part of the strange tree suddenly "falled off", and the two frightened "Deadwood Demons" ran away!
"Quack..." Gengar laughed like a villain.
Yes, this "Gengar" is of course Eminem's Ghost Stone.
Previously at the Pokémon Service Point outside the cave, Eminem had replaced the Ghost Stone with it - this was also the Pokémon Service Point's suggestion!
There are many ghost-type Pokémon in this forest.
And like most ghost-type Pokémon, "pranks" are their favorite thing. Although it is not as scary as the various weird legends in ancient times, it is true that ghost-type Pokémon can escape from "fear".
Draw strength from.
The ghost-type Pokémon in this "confused forest" likes to make people get lost the most!
So when you come out of the cave tunnel, you can see the service point. I remind everyone that if you want to enter the "Confusion Forest", you must have at least one Pokémon of one of the "ghost, super, or evil" types.
Dreams, and preferably the first two.
Otherwise you will definitely get lost...
"Ghost-type" can mingle with the Pokémon inside, "Evil-type" can deter troublesome ghost-type Pokémon, and "Psychic-type"... Although theoretically restrained by "Ghost-type", a theory is just a theory.
Reality is reality.
In the battle, the "ghost system" is immune to physical impact, while other systems, even if they are not restrained, will have a large proportion of physical impact when attacking, and the damage caused will be lacking. Although the "super energy system" is theoretically restrained
, but the proportion of physical impact during attack is small, so it is actually not too much of a disadvantage. (Note 1)
And outside of battle, in terms of "spirits and gods", the [Super Power System] is even more expert at exorcising ghosts.
In order to adapt to the environment here, almost every citizen of the nearby town has a [Super-type] Pokémon, so it is called "Super Town".
Eminem directly exchanged it for Ghost Stone, which can be said to be "evil ghosts have their own evil ghost mill". Along the way, the wild [ghost-type] Pokémon in the forest were scared to death...
Although even if there is no change, Eminem will still take Laoban with him, but... the [evil type] only has a deterrent effect on the [ghost type], so that they don't dare to approach at will, and they will still seek death.
…
"That's... the Kuchiki Demon, right? Ghoststone, have you discovered it a long time ago? Why didn't you drive them away the first time?" Sakura asked helplessly.
"It's fun to scare them when they're relaxed, Ghost! Jie Jie Jie..." Ghost Stone said with a strange smile.
That's right, those two "Deadwood Demons" had appeared in front of them once before, disguised on the tree, which made the tree look strange and left an impression on Eminem and others. Then they copied it and disguised themselves again, causing
It’s an illusion that Eminem and others have gone back!
"Okay, we should be arriving at Super Town soon. Let's drive a lot today and have dinner when we get to Super Town." Eminem said after looking at the map.
The scope of the "Forest of Confusion" is not large, far inferior to that of the Insect Forest. Regardless of the [ghost-type] Pokémon in it, if it causes trouble, you can quickly reach Super Town.
"Then work harder...it's really uncomfortable in the gloomy place." Tomoyo agreed to hurry up - although it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, if it was a normal trip, you could start looking for a suitable campsite, but since we are almost here
In Super Town, it doesn't matter if you rest later.
"Eh? No more fun, Ghost?" Ghost looked very regretful.
Because the "Confusion Forest" is too lush and eerie—perhaps that's why so many ghost-type Pokémon breed—it's almost completely dark after four o'clock in the evening.
As a result, the [ghost-type] Pokémon in the forest move more frequently, trying their best to make Eminem and others get lost...
Finally, Eminem released Lao Ban to clear the way. Only then at eight o'clock in the evening, he walked out of the forest and saw the crowds!
The patrol at the entrance of the town, after hearing the sound of the Motorized Lizard, came over to check. Seeing someone there, he was surprised and said, "Huh? You... are really amazing. You are still walking in the Forest of Confusion at night."
I saw patrol officers riding special sidecar motorcycles - the shape of this "bucket" is not designed for humans. Sitting in it... ah no, it's lying down, and it's not a human being, but a...
"Slowpoke"!
Well, how can a normal super-type Pokémon be easily subdued?
In other words, Slowpoke is easier to tame...or rather raise!
Regardless of whether he is subdued or not, the family invites a Slowpoke back to raise it. Most of the time, Slowpoke sits in the yard in a daze every day and is too lazy to leave...
Nearby is the "Slowpoke Well" where Slowpoke thrives, so every family here has Super Pokémon.
It is said to be "Super Power Town", but it is actually better to call it "Slowpoke Town"...

Note 1: In fact, the animation here is because in the first generation, [Super Power] was resistant to [Ghost], so a "Super Town" was created in the forest with many ghosts. In the second generation
At the beginning of the generation, it was weakened to be restrained by [Ghost], but this book describes it according to the setting in the book.
