Chapter 312: Lost Forest? Glimwood Tangle!

Anjay took his Pokémon on a flying vehicle, and two days later, they successfully arrived in the Galar region.

Besides Lilligant, Floette, and the three Flabébé, Anjay also brought Greedent, Aegislash, and Komala on this trip.

According to the information given by Diantha, Sinyi eventually settled in Ballonlea, so Anjay and the others' destination this time was Ballonlea.

After arriving in the Galar region, Anjay and the others first took a car to Stow-on-Side, which is the closest town to Ballonlea, and then hitched a ride from Stow-on-Side to the Glimwood Tangle, located north of Stow-on-Side.

Ballonlea is located inside the Glimwood Tangle.

Because of this, there is no direct flying vehicle access to Ballonlea, and it can only be entered on foot.

The Glimwood Tangle is a very mysterious forest. Inside, there is no distinction between day and night, and the light source comes from a type of glowing mushroom in the forest.

Many rare Pokémon inhabit the Glimwood Tangle, such as Sinistea, Impidimp, Hatterene, Grimmsnarl, Galarian Ponyta, Rapidash, and so on.

However, due to the special environment here, Pokémon are difficult to encounter and capture unless they are willing to show themselves.

Also, because of the special environment, this place is still an unexplored and unknown land to this day.

Furthermore, the residents of Ballonlea do not allow others to develop the Glimwood Tangle because they believe that the more humans interfere with the forest, the more disasters it will bring to the forest, not only affecting their peaceful lives but also disturbing the tranquility and harmony of the Pokémon in the forest.

Therefore, Ballonlea and the Glimwood Tangle have always been in a very harmonious state of mutual protection.

Standing at the entrance of the Glimwood Tangle, Anjay said to Lilligant, Floette, and the Flabébé: "Let's go in!"

Lilligant nodded, leading Floette and the Flabébé closely behind Anjay.

Anjay had Greedent with him.

Being able to go out with Anjay, Greedent was in a very good mood, trotting ahead all the way, singing unknown songs.

"Gree~ Gree~ Gree~ ~ ~ Gree~ Gree~ Dent~ ~ ~"

It stepped with light steps, singing while curiously looking at the surrounding environment.

After entering the Glimwood Tangle, the sun disappeared, and the surroundings were full of dense jungle. Glowing mushrooms grew everywhere in the forest, which was very beautiful and made people feel as if they had entered a dreamland.

Out of curiosity, Greedent ran to the roadside, pulled out a small glowing mushroom, and then came to Anjay as if offering a treasure.

"Gree~ Gree~"

It held up the mushroom, looking at Anjay with a hopeful expression.

Anjay took the mushroom and said, "Even if you look at me like that, this mushroom is not edible."

"Gree~" Hearing this, Greedent lowered its head with a look of disappointment.

The mushrooms at home are all edible, it thought the mushrooms here could also be eaten!

Just then, a burst of noise came from not far away. Anjay and the others looked towards the sound and saw several Impidimp had appeared on the branches at some point.

The Impidimp were squealing and yelling at Greedent. Anjay then realized that they were angry because Greedent had randomly picked the glowing mushrooms.

Glowing mushrooms are an important light source in the forest, and the Pokémon in the forest do not allow outsiders to destroy them.

Before Anjay and the others could react, the Impidimp threw dead branches, gravel, rotten fruits, etc., at them, covering Anjay and the others in dirt.

"Gree~ Gree~" Greedent was angered by the attack, shouting and releasing a bolt of lightning.

Seeing this, the Impidimp hurriedly jumped off the branches in a panic and disappeared into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye.

"Gree~ Gree~" Greedent was very unconvinced and chased after them without hesitation.

"Hey, Greedent, stop!" Anjay hurriedly shouted to stop it.

But how could Greedent listen? As soon as Anjay spoke, it ran out of sight.

The environment of the Glimwood Tangle is special. If people want to pass through it to enter Ballonlea, they must follow the fixed route given by the navigation.

Once you deviate from the navigation, it is easy to lose direction. At that time, how to get out depends on your luck.

"Florette~"

"Flabebe~"

Lilligant, Floette, and the Flabébé were also helping to call out to Greedent.

Seeing that there was still no response, Anjay sighed and said, "It's over, I don't know where Greedent ran off to."

"Florette~ Florette~" Floette flew to Anjay's side, patted Anjay on the shoulder, and comforted Anjay that he would definitely find it, telling him not to worry.

Anjay said angrily, "When I find it, I'll beat its butt!"

Saying that, he turned around angrily, about to continue searching, when he suddenly heard a miserable "squeak" at his feet.

Anjay looked down and saw a small mushroom opening its eyes in pain.

It turned out that he had accidentally stepped on a Morelull disguised as a glowing mushroom.

There was no way, the appearance of Morelull's mimicry was too similar to glowing mushrooms.

Morelull, the Glowing Pokémon, Grass/Fairy type, is a nocturnal Pokémon, so the Glimwood Tangle, where the environment is very similar to nighttime, is inhabited by a large number of Morelull.

As Morelull's scream rang out, the surrounding mushrooms, large and small, opened their eyes one after another and looked angry.

Not only were there Morelull, but also their evolved form, Shiinotic.

Shiinotic, the Illuminating Pokémon, Grass/Fairy type, can both attract enemies with its glowing spores, putting them to sleep and then absorbing their life force; it can also inject life energy into its companions when they are weak, restoring them to health.

It turned out that all the glowing mushrooms in this area were disguised as Morelull and Shiinotic.

Morelull and Shiinotic have the habit of using their roots to absorb nutrients from the earth and trees. Obviously, they were just replenishing nutrients.

In the blink of an eye, Anjay and the others were surrounded by angry Shiinotic and Morelull.

Anjay said awkwardly, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"

"More~ More~" The Morelull that Anjay stepped on jumped out, raised its swollen toe, and scolded Anjay loudly.

As Morelull's anger soared, the other Morelull and Shiinotic showed signs of launching an attack.

"Lilligant~" Seeing this, Lilligant immediately stepped forward and started dancing, swaying her body.

Seeing Lilligant dancing, the Shiinotic and Morelull instantly turned into spiral eyes, collapsing to the ground one after another.

Miss Petilil was performing a dizzying, swaying dance.

“Li di ~” Run!

After finishing the dance, Miss Petilil pulled on An Jie, ready to flee.

Seeing this, An Jie quickly took out a bottle of fruit juice milk and placed it in front of the Morelull, "This is for you, I'm sorry!"

After saying that, he fled with Miss Petilil, Floette, and Flabébé.

They ran for an unknown amount of time, not stopping until they could no longer see the Morelull and Shiinotic.

An Jie was fine; he was strong and healthy, so running a short distance didn't tire him out at all.

But Floette and Flabébé were exhausted, sitting on a glowing mushroom, panting heavily.

Miss Petilil was also breathing slightly heavily.

An Jie said, "They shouldn't be chasing us."

“Li di ~ Li di ~” Miss Petilil nodded gently.

An Jie smiled and said, "Then let's take a break. Thank you just now. If it weren't for your quick thinking, I would have been in trouble!"

“Li di ~” Miss Petilil waved her hand, indicating no thanks were necessary.

After resting for a while, An Jie and the others got up, planning to continue searching for the Greedent. Just then, there was a rustling sound from the nearby bushes.

They looked towards the sound and saw a Galarian Ponyta, its body emitting a faint glow, craning its neck to look at them.

An Jie looked surprised: Galarian Ponyta? A truly rare Pokémon.

Galarian Ponyta, the Unique Horn Pokémon, is a Psychic-type. They usually live in forests, bathing in the life energy of the forest. They absorb this life energy and store it in their mane, which is why their mane looks so colorful.

The more life energy stored in a Galarian Ponyta's mane, the more vibrant the colors.

It is said that the horn on their head contains healing power and can read people's thoughts from their eyes. If they encounter someone with evil intentions, they will turn around and run away.

“Hi, hello!” Seeing the Ponyta staring at him intently, An Jie waved and greeted it.

An Jie's action startled the Ponyta. After hesitating for a moment, it slowly walked out of the bushes.

An Jie thought for a moment and asked, "Excuse me, have you seen a Greedent?"

As he spoke, he took out his phone, found a photo of the Greedent, and showed it to the Ponyta, "Look, it's him. He's my Pokémon and accidentally got separated from me."

The Ponyta hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked in one direction, gesturing for An Jie to follow quickly.

Seeing this, An Jie was overjoyed and quickly called for Miss Petilil and the others to follow.

Led by the Ponyta, An Jie and the others passed through dense bushes and waded through a gently flowing stream.

Along the way, the Ponyta also asked an Oranguru for information.

Guided by the Oranguru, the Ponyta led An Jie and the others to search in another direction.

Oranguru are the wise men of the forest; there is nothing in the forest that they do not know.

Oranguru, the Sage Pokémon, is a Normal and Psychic-type. They are Pokémon with outstanding intelligence. Because of this, their relationships with each other are extremely poor. Whenever they meet, they often compete in wits to see who is smarter. If they go to the beach, they will even compete with Slowking in intelligence.

However, they are very gentle to other Pokémon living in the forest. Not only do they find herbs to help heal them when they are injured, but they also provide food to hungry Pokémon.

Precisely because they are too smart, it is almost impossible for trainers to catch these Pokémon. They despise inexperienced trainers and are very difficult to get along with.

Only experienced trainers can make them willingly submit.

Sure enough, with the guidance of the Oranguru, An Jie and the others soon heard intermittent cries. Who else could it be but the Greedent?

Following the sound of crying, An Jie quickly found the Greedent sitting on a dead tree, weeping.

It was holding a listless Morelull in its hand.

“Greedent!” An Jie excitedly called out to the Greedent.

Hearing An Jie's call, the Greedent jumped up and ran to An Jie with a look of surprise, then plunged into An Jie's arms.

An Jie said, both angry and distressed, "Now you know you're worried, right? See if you dare to run around again!"

“Greed~ Greed~” The Greedent shook its head at An Jie with tears in the corners of its eyes, smiling foolishly.

Seeing the bruises on its face, An Jie asked, "What happened?"

Hearing this, the Greedent immediately flew into a rage, angrily complaining to An Jie.

“Greed~ Greed~”

It turned out that it had chased the Impidimp all the way to their lair and was besieged by a group of Grimmsnarl and Obstagoon.

Two fists are no match for four hands, and it was eventually beaten black and blue.

An Jie took out some medicine and applied it to it, saying grumpily, "You deserve it. Who told you to steal other people's things!"

“Greed~ Greed~” The Greedent looked aggrieved.

After applying the medicine, An Jie looked at the Morelull it was holding and asked, "What's going on with this Morelull?"

“Greed~ Greed~” The Greedent immediately pushed the Morelull forward.

An Jie was surprised and said, "You want me to catch it?"

“Greed~ Greed~” The Greedent nodded excitedly.

It turned out that the Greedent had learned from the Pokémon in the forest that the mushroom on the Morelull's head was very delicious and that it could grow back overnight after being picked.

So, after being beaten up, the Greedent cried and found a Morelull to bring with it, waiting for An Jie to find it and catch the Morelull.

After listening, An Jie was amused and poked its forehead with his finger, saying, "You, you never forget about eating!"

“Greed~” The Greedent covered its forehead and smiled naively.

After that, An Jie looked down at the Morelull and asked, "Morelull, are you willing to come with us?"

An Jie originally thought that the Morelull would hesitate or think for a while, but he didn't expect the Morelull to nod and agree immediately.

It turned out that the Greedent had fully brainwashed it along the way, listing countless benefits of being caught by An Jie, so the Morelull had already been persuaded.

“In that case, Morelull, I look forward to working with you in the future!” An Jie took out a Poké Ball and said to the Morelull.

“Nema shuu ~” The Morelull nodded, tapped its head on the switch of the Poké Ball, and turned into a red light, being sucked in.

After doing all this, An Jie planned to thank the Ponyta, without its guidance, they wouldn't have been able to find the Greedent.

But when he turned around, where was the Ponyta?

An Jie asked Miss Petilil, Floette, and Flabébé, "Where's the Ponyta?"

The five Pokémon shook their heads at the same time. They didn't notice when the Ponyta left.

Coming and going unpredictably, no wonder it's a Psychic-type Pokémon! An Jie couldn't help but exclaim.
