Orange Flower Forest is located in the Fengyuan region, along Road 104, connecting Chenghua City and Kanaz City. The forest is home to many low-level insect-type Pokémon, like Spinytails, but there are also rare Pokémon such as Lazy Otters and Mushrooms.
In the forest, Black Feather and his Pokémon were in the middle of a battle.
"Lobster Soldier, use Bubble Light!" Black Feather called out.
"Toothfish, use Spirit Fangs!" his opponent shouted.
"Big-billed bird, intercept it to prevent it from escaping!" Black Feather commanded, as a large-billed bird swooped in and scanned the area below.
The battle was intense. A Proud Swallow flew into the sky, thinking it had escaped the danger. But suddenly, the toucan's sharp beak struck, injuring the Proud Swallow. The bird tried to recover, but it began falling towards the ground.
"Go! Poké Ball!" Black Feather called out.
The three Pokémon approached, watching the Poké Ball as it shook.
One shake. Two shakes. Three shakes.
Finally, the Poké Ball stopped shaking. Black Feather sighed with relief, picking it up. He opened his Pokédex to check the Proud Swallow's details.
"Beep beep beep~~"
"Proud Swallow, a young Swallow Pokémon. It's an ordinary flying-type Pokémon, 0.3 meters tall and weighs 2.5 kilograms. The moves it knows include Bark, Peck, Energy Gathering, Flash, and Sonic Wave."
The description revealed that Proud Swallow was known for its bravery. It would challenge any opponent, no matter how powerful. However, it would cry when hungry.
Black Feather smiled, pleased. "This one will help me complete the task. The others can be sold."
He looked down at his Lobster Soldier, which was excited, waving its pincers. "Don't worry," Black Feather said. "You'll get your reward."
He pulled out some dried meat from his bag, a special treat for the Lobster Soldier.
After giving the big-billed bird a command to stay alert, Black Feather set up camp to draw a map of the area. Even though most maps of the region had already been made, it was still useful for practice and would help him earn points.
As the sun set, the forest grew quiet. Black Feather went inside his sturdy tent, designed to protect against Pokémon attacks up to level 40. It was a great investment, offering various functions like heat retention and moisture control.
"Hope tomorrow's mission goes well," Black Feather thought, as he drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, in the forest, an ugly snake Pokémon and a large white cat were fighting fiercely. They were natural enemies, and neither Pokémon was willing to back down. The battle was intense, but both kept fighting, ignoring their injuries.
The next morning, Black Feather woke up and greeted his Pokémon. He made a simple breakfast of biscuits, water, and a nutrient solution. The nutrient solution was a popular product among adventurers and provided all the necessary nutrients for the day.
The Pokémon eagerly ate their food and energy cubes, which would fuel them for the day's activities.
Black Feather packed up his tent, which could be folded with just the push of a button. It was easy and efficient to set up or pack away.
Before leaving, Black Feather ordered his Pokémon to use their skills on the area to destroy any traces of their presence. Once the area was clear, he was ready to leave.
"Big-billed bird, fly ahead, but don't go too far," Black Feather instructed.
The toucan took off, soaring into the sky. Black Feather and his Pokémon started walking through the forest. At first, they could hear the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects, but as they went deeper, the forest grew quiet.
Black Feather realized they had entered the core of Chenghua Forest, where the Pokémon were stronger. He had to be more cautious now.
Just then, a loud bird cry echoed through the trees. "It's the toucan!" Black Feather thought, rushing in the direction of the sound.
He found the toucan flying back quickly. "What happened?" Black Feather asked.
The big-billed bird made some gestures, and Black Feather understood. "There are two powerful Pokémon fighting ahead?" he asked.
The toucan nodded, and Black Feather wondered if this was a chance to take advantage of the situation. The two Pokémon fighting must be at a high level, and Black Feather could swoop in to capture the opportunity.
"Lead the way, big-billed bird, but be quiet. Let's not disturb the battle," Black Feather said, excited about the possibility.
They pushed through the thick flowers and heard the sounds of fighting growing louder. Finally, Black Feather saw the two battling Pokémon.
One was a Rice Spoon Snake, and the other was a Mongoose Slash!
Black Feather watched eagerly, wondering if he could make a move while the two Pokémon were distracted.
