It was Suicune, and yet, it wasn't.

That was all that Mitsuru could really say about the creature she had found in Area Zero. Not that she hadn't tried to learn more, mind! She studied every Johtonian tale she could remember, combed through every tangentially relevant book at her local library, and even scoured the internet for anything resembling an answer. But despite her efforts, all she had found were more questions.

This thing was a mystery. It didn't exist in any prior mythology. It wasn't referenced in any research papers or encyclopaedias. And, well, her social media and message boards were being even less helpful than usual. If she didn't know any better, she'd say this "Suicune" wasn't even real.

But the damp, scratch-covered Pokeball she held in her hands told her otherwise. It was real. It was definitely, totally, absolutely real. It HAD to be real! Because if it wasn't real, then what else could it possibly even be?

She needed answers. And though her heart raced at the thought of it, both her brain and her gut knew where she was going to get them.

And so, the runaway priestess ventured into the Petalburg Woods...

[attr="class","textbox"]Oh, wise sage of the Petalburg Woods, what is your wisdom?[break][break]

His wisdom is that he needs a freaking nap.[break][break]

Was it nice finally having a home to call his own? Of course! But by this point, Isaac was so accustomed to roughing it that there were times where such stability felt foreign to him. Luckily, his home may as well have been connected to his home-away-from-home. Just like the Fiorelli Floristry it was built atop, Petalburg Woods was practically Isaac's backyard.[break][break]

Nights like this were the perfect chance for Isaac to indulge in his wanderlust. The night air was a cool and crisp undercurrent beneath Hoenn's usual warmth. The moon was bright and full, highlighting the stars that twinkled through the gaps in the canopy. The forest's healing had come into full bloom, the ground dotted with flowers and the branches thick with fresh berries.[break][break]

At times, Isaac could swear he heard the bubbling of the spring where Suicune had taken him. Yet, try as he might, he'd never found it again.[break][break]

Such was the mysterious nature of his patron. By now, Isaac was less inclined to ask questions and more inclined to explore the endless possibilities he'd been given. Still, he couldn't lie. The curiosity sometimes gnawed at him. Maybe if the region could settle down for five minutes, he'd look into it more.[break][break]

It hadn't. And if Hoenn wouldn't rest, he'd need to rest more to make up for lost time. With his hammock swaying in the breeze, and his head staring up at a sky full of stars, Isaac let the tension melt from his body and the questions melt from his head. It was time for a nice, relaxing night.[break][break]

Oh, who was he kidding? He's Isaac Merlo. Those didn't exist.

For many a fledgling trainer, Petalburg Woods would be the first true obstacle on the path forward. It was a step up, a challenge harder than the Poochyena and the Zigzagoon, the Youngsters and the Bugcatchers. But that was it, wasn't it? Just a step up. An increase in difficulty, but not too difficult, either. Meant to test mettle, but not break it. A preparation for what comes next.

So, of course, when faced with this relatively simple task meant to hinder ten year olds, Mitsuru was completely lost.

B-but that was hardly her fault! She grew up in a completely different region! It wasn't like there was a Petalburg Woods just lying outside of Ecruteak City! Yet for all of her seething and her coping, it didn't get her where she needed to go. So, she carried on.

On, and on, and on and on and on for what felt like minutes on minutes on minutes, with little progress made. Had she seen these trees before? Or did they just look like those other trees she'd seen five minutes ago?

Ugh, she was getting nowhere... Screw it, she'd just stray from the path. If she just pushed through the bushes and headed straight for long enough, then surely, she'd make SOME progress eventually!

So, like the great adventures of old, Mitsuru stepped forth, pushed through the foliage--

"AIEEE!"

--And immediately fell down a hill.
