Ilex Forest was really dark, due to the collection of trees covering the view. After 15 minutes of walking (and picture-taking), we stopped at a nearby shrine.
Kris: This is a shrine for the guardian of Ilex Forest, Celebi. It is said that Celebi came from the future via time travel.
Cameron: I see...
I walked over to the shrine and gave it a light touch. I waited a short minute before continuing on.
As we kept going, we witnessed a battle from Kris that not only caught her a Teddiursa, it evolved her Totodile into Croconaw!
As we kept walking, we happened upon a swap meet for Pokémon Trainers. People were trading each other's Pokémon and battling them too!
I took part in five battles before taking a break. Kris bought a special glove for her outfit. Ethan revealed that he traded a mean Pineco that he caught in the forest for a kid's Scyther, which evolved into Scizor.
I challenged Ethan to another battle against his new Scizor.
Cameron: Pikachu, Electro Ball!
Pikachu launched an Electro Ball!
Ethan: Scy, Swords Dance!
Scy raised its attack power by performing an uplifting battle stance!
Cameron: Iron Tail!
Pikachu used an Iron Tail!
Ethan: Fury Cutter!
Both Pokémon began a strong clash and slammed each other back!
Cameron: Use Quick Attack!
Pikachu headed up to Scy for a tough attack!
Suddenly, Scy crossed its arms and slashed Pikachu in an X-shape motion, defeating her!
Kris: Scy learned X-Scissor!
Ethan: Sweet! And I won with it!
Cameron: You win this round!
We gave a good handshake before we left the swap meet.
Before we left, a man offered me a Pokémon Egg. I accepted and kept it in my backpack.
Who knew we gained new Pokémon in Ilex Forest, especially at a swap meet.
