# 0_1FGH It feels so peaceful here. I love it!
# 0_2FGH When you're surrounded by trees,
you feel like your entire being\f
has become one with nature.
# 0_3FGH City life seems like it would be
really nerve racking...
# 0_4FGH Fresh air!
A comfortable breeze.\f
Mmmm... This place has everything.
# 0_5FGH No surprises, no stress--
that is the secret of a good life!
# 0_6FGH Pokémon are the same! They prefer to
live in a natural setting, too.
# 0_7FGH Here, everyone is pleasant and kind
to everyone else.
I want to work with everyone
for the sake of this incredible forest!
# 0_8FGH The force of nature commands
our respect.
The force of nature is what supports
all life. Nature's bounty brings us\f
so much goodness.
Nature's power surpasses imitation!
# 0_9FGH Leo: Hello there! Ah... Doesn't it feel
terrific to enjoy the beauties of nature?
I'm Leo. I come from the Black City
VAR(256, 0) visited.
Nice to meet you!
# 0_10FGH Leo: Hello there!
Today, I woke up to the pleasant rustling
of leaves in the wind.\f
This place is so relaxing!
# 0_11FGH Recently, I've been feeling a certain...
Hm, I don't know...\f
...Maybe I'm craving the city lights.
# 0_12FGH Guess what?
Check this out!
A Pidgey was eating food
in the grass right over there!
# 0_13FGH Silvia: Why, hello!
Isn't this place sublime?
The air is so fresh. It's all so tranquil.
I'm Silvia. I'm from the Black City
VAR(256, 0) visited.\f
It's a pleasure to meet you!
# 0_14FGH Silvia: Even if I take off my glasses,
I'll know exactly where I am.
What tells me is the lush greenery
all around.
# 0_15FGH You know, the time I spend here is lovely,
but something's missing...
That's how I feel.
# 0_16FGH If my triple-strength glasses don't lie,
I met a little Wurmple-kins in a spot\f
just ahead of here!
This is a special place... So serene!
# 0_17FGH Dave: 'Sup! Call me Dave!
I used to mix it up a lot with
VAR(256, 0) in Black City!
Nice meetin' ya!
I feel like this place is bold enough to
take in a tough guy like me!
# 0_18FGH Dave: 'Sup!
I've got it goin' on today!
Listen up! I'm gonna spread the word
about all the awesome things about\f
nature! With a fierceness!
# 0_19FGH What can I say?
White Forest is too dull.
It doesn't have enough hustle and bustle
to keep a guy like me interested.
# 0_20FGH Aaaaaaaeeeeeeeek!
Is that a Gastly over there?
Oh, whew. It's just your shadow.
But I have seen a Gastly recently.
# 0_21FGH Britney: I'm VAR(256, 0)'s friend Britney.
I'm used to living on the edge
in Black City!
# 0_22FGH Britney: We're up to our ears in nature
here. It sure winds you down.
Couldn't be more different from
the freewheelin' life in Black City!
# 0_23FGH Hmm.
Now that I've started to think about it,
I miss being wild and free in Black City.
# 0_24FGH Are you searching for Hoppip?
No problem! I saw one!\f
Run through the tall grass and catch it!
# 0_25FGH Robbie: I'm Robbie from Black City,
where VAR(256, 0) passed through!\f
Nice to meet you!
You know what? I'd never imagined
a place like this really existed.
It's nothing but green as far as
the eye can see! I'm shocked!
# 0_26FGH Robbie: I was in Black City because I'm
fascinated by architecture, but being\f
in a forest is pretty nice, too!
# 0_27FGH Ohhhhhhh, am I bored! So bored!
I want to go back to Black City!
# 0_28FGH Oh! You'll never guess!
Elekid! I saw an Elekid
running off that way!
Maybe I should chase it!
# 0_29FGH Miki: Hello!
My name's Miki! Nice to meet you!
I battled VAR(256, 0) in Black City!
Super tough!
# 0_30FGH Miki: Ahhh, mmm... This place is soothing.
I read somewhere that the scent of\f
trees and grass makes you feel calm,\f
in an aromatherapy kind of way.\f
This place seems to have the same effect!
# 0_31FGH Gosh. Maybe I've become too calm...
'Cause I'm bored now!
But that's worth feeling, too,
from time to time.
# 0_32FGH Wait, what?
A Togepi just ran behind you right now!
# 0_33FGH Ryder: Take a deep breath!
The air here is so pure and wonderful!
I'm Ryder. I'm from the Black City, where
VAR(256, 0) visited. Good to meet you.
# 0_34FGH Ryder: Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!
When the air is this fresh,
it gives you extra power for training!
But it is a bit of a problem not to have
a sparring partner!
# 0_35FGH Hyah... Hyah? Hyah?
I've been having trouble lately
getting into my training...
Maybe Black City suits me better...
# 0_36FGH When I was practicing forehand strikes
with my Pokémon, a Machop was watching\f
us in envy. Why don't you go look for it?
# 0_37FGH Karenna: I got here from Black City
as fast as I could!
I'm impressed by how VAR(256, 0) fights,
and I know I still have a long way to go!
# 0_38FGH Karenna: Keep going! Yeah!
My Pokémon and I are running!
# 0_39FGH Phew... I'm tired of running!
Time for another battle!
For that, back to Black City!
# 0_40FGH Oh. Are you going to run with me?
I just saw a wild Slakoth.
If we go running, maybe you'll meet it.
# 0_41FGH Doug: Hello, hello! I'm Doug!!
I came from Black City.\f
I'm an acquaintance of VAR(256, 0).
Now, there's someone who has furious
Pokémon battles!
# 0_42FGH Doug: When I'm surrounded
by nature, I work!\f
It's coming along pretty well!
# 0_43FGH So, I've had a lot of fresh air,
and I think I'm well refreshed!
I have a lot of other work to do,
so I want to go to Black City.
# 0_44FGH Recently, I saw a Shinx in this area!
Yes, just being here refreshes me!
# 0_45FGH Vincent: Hey, how are you?
In Black City, I was VAR(256, 0)'s
sparring partner.
Not too bad of a Trainer, I'd say,
but not as strong as I am.
# 0_46FGH Vincent: The vastness of nature
spices up my life!
Yeah, I really have taken a liking to
this place.
# 0_47FGH Well, you know, I was born and raised in
the city, so maybe I should go home soon.
# 0_48FGH Recently a Magby was staring at me from
over there!
It ran as soon as our gazes met.
If it likes me, it should let me know!
# 0_49FGH Marie: The oxygen is so rich!
Just like VAR(256, 0) said!
In a place like this, I'm sure I can focus
and write my paper!
# 0_50FGH Marie: Fresh air and a good paper...
Once I write it, I'll present it in\f
Black City!
# 0_51FGH I'm good and refreshed, so I
want to go back to Black City.
# 0_52FGH A few seconds ago, when I was doing some
deep-breathing exercises, I saw a\f
Magnemite imitating me! It made me laugh.
# 0_53FGH Lena: VAR(256, 0)...?
Sorry. You look like someone I know...
A person I met in Black City and had a
Pokémon battle with...
# 0_54FGH Lena: The plants grow thick and green
with the blessing of the soil.\f
I want to be thankful for this as I walk.
# 0_55FGH People are drawn to man-made things.
I miss Black City...
# 0_56FGH It's so peaceful here. I love listening to
the Grass-type Pokémon breathing and\f
the bird Pokémon chirping...
Did you notice? A Ralts just ran past
right behind you.
# 0_57FGH Carlos: Oh! Hello!
There is so much to see here!
I just came from Black City, where I met
a Trainer named VAR(256, 0)\f
who was very strong. It was fun!
# 0_58FGH Carlos: Oh! Hello!
I've traveled in many places, but places
this close to nature are very rare!
# 0_59FGH But, hmmm... I think it's about time
to head somewhere else.
# 0_60FGH Starly!
Starly was just there!
Why don't you go look for it?
# 0_61FGH Molly: So this is White Forest!
It's very different from Black City!
Hey, do you know a Trainer named
VAR(256, 0) who is really strong?
# 0_62FGH Molly: I've been traveling, and I've seen
a lot of places, but I have never seen\f
a place this pretty before!
# 0_63FGH This is a pretty place, but maybe
a little boring...
# 0_64FGH Oh, that's right! An Azurill was running
happily toward the grass!
Maybe I should run with the Pokémon
in the grass!
# 0_65FGH Frederic: VAR(256, 0)?!
...Oh! My mistake!
I'm very frustrated at losing our
Pokémon battle, so I want a rematch\f
the next time I see that Trainer.
# 0_66FGH Frederic: Oh... Have a look at this!
My Pokémon is so happy!
Pokémon love nature, but...
I'm the complete opposite!
# 0_67FGH Well, my Pokémon is having fun, but
I'm starving for some excitement.
# 0_68FGH Just a second ago, my Pokémon was
playing with a wild Budew.
It ran away when it saw me, but
it really looked like it was having fun!
# 0_69FGH Lynette: How are you?
I was in Black City, and I got to battle
VAR(256, 0), who was really strong!
It was wonderful.
# 0_70FGH Lynette: This environment with
nothing but nature is nice, too.\f
It's soothing.
# 0_71FGH But I'm a little tired of being out in
the countryside.
I want to spend time in a place where
there is more stuff.
# 0_72FGH I saw an Oddish today!
I haven't really seen one before,
so I was fascinated!
# 0_73FGH Pierce: Until recently, I was in
Black City. I also battled with\f
VAR(256, 0) there.
I suspect VAR(256, 0) likes White
Forest more than you might suspect.
# 0_74FGH Pierce: Living simply among
nature and enjoying your own life...
I think that is not a bad way to live.
# 0_75FGH Hmmm...
But I might be getting tired of
the slow life...
# 0_76FGH Today, I saw a Mareep!
That's something you could
only see in White Forest!
# 0_77FGH Gene: Nature is great! But I remember
Black City sometimes.
My battle with VAR(256, 0) is an
important memory!
# 0_78FGH Gene: My hobby is meeting Pokémon
in their natural habitat!
# 0_79FGH But recently, I've been thinking I want
to test the strength of the Pokémon\f
I've met.
# 0_80FGH I met an Aron today! It was really lucky!
White Forest definitely fits me
like a glove!
# 0_81FGH Piper: The natural surroundings here are
very comfortable.
Until recently, I was in Black City, and
VAR(256, 0)'s battling style was\f
fairly efficient.
# 0_82FGH Piper: Leisurely time passed together
with Pokémon...\f
Things like that are important.
# 0_83FGH But recently, for some reason, leisurely
passing time like this makes me feel\f
a little impatient.
# 0_84FGH I spent today with a Bellsprout!
It was a precious experience!
# 0_85FGH Miho: Pokémon in White Forest
are so adorable!
But VAR(256, 0), who I met in
Black City, was pretty cute too!
# 0_86FGH Miho: Pokémon and this expansive nature!
Everyone is in their natural state,
and I think it's wonderful!
# 0_87FGH But I might need a little more
than just nature.\f
I have to find more things I want to do!
# 0_88FGH In nature, Seedot and people can
become friends...\f
That sure is a wonderful thing, isn't it?
# 0_89FGH Shane: Everyone is very honest
in White Forest.
I wonder if VAR(256, 0), who I just met
in Black City, will like White Forest more\f
than you might expect.
# 0_90FGH Shane: Here both Pokémon and
people can just be themselves.
# 0_91FGH But I'm worried about how this
more honest me will be seen.
# 0_92FGH I just saw a Rhyhorn over there!
A Rhyhorn in its natural state... Wow!
# 0_93FGH Ralph: In White Forest, it's fun how
people and Pokémon can deal with\f
one another directly.
Before, in Black City, I battled
VAR(256, 0), and we were able to show\f
each other how we felt!
That was fun, too!
# 0_94FGH Ralph: I want Pokémon and people to be
able to face each other directly and\f
understand one another.
# 0_95FGH But I also think I want to promptly
be able to show people how I feel!
# 0_96FGH I met a Lotad over there today!
We communicated our feelings to each
other, and I'm still awed by the memory.
# 0_97FGH Eliza: A lifestyle where you encounter
nature is fulfilling.
But when I had a Pokémon battle with
VAR(256, 0) in Black City, something\f
about that made me feel fulfilled, too.
# 0_98FGH Eliza: When you encounter nature,
your heart becomes that much richer.
# 0_99FGH But...
Just looking at nature doesn't fulfill
your spirit.
That's what I've been thinking recently.
# 0_100FGH I saw a Trapinch, and it made
my heart happy.
# 0_101FGH Collin: My success story begins here!
In Black City, I had a rival named
VAR(256, 0), but I don't have one here!
I'm going to make a fortune!
# 0_102FGH Collin: I like how everyone here looks
so happy!
I want to make them even happier with
my business!
# 0_103FGH Business opportunities don't just come
rolling at you so easily.
Ahh... I feel like Black City may be a
better fit for me...
# 0_104FGH Successful people are always looking up!
So I was looking up while I was walking,
and I accidentally walked into an Abra.\f
Sorry, Abra!
# 0_105FGH Ken: I feel that I've grown as a Trainer
who can look at Pokémon with a\f
broad mindset.
I wonder how VAR(256, 0), who I met in
Black City, is doing these days.
# 0_106FGH Ken: Studying many different Pokémon and
gaining a lot of far-reaching knowledge\f
widens your world.
# 0_107FGH But now I'm thinking I'd rather think
about just one thing very deeply.
# 0_108FGH When you have a broad mindset, you
notice things about nature and yourself\f
and about yourself and Pokémon.
I thought that when I saw a Nidoran⑭
over there recently.
# 0_109FGH Jacques: When you see how many different
Pokémon there are in the world, you\f
understand there are lots of different\f
answers to problems, too.
When I met VAR(256, 0) in Black City, I
felt that Trainer’s way of thinking was\f
one of those answers.
# 0_110FGH Jacques: Several different answers
exist for each problem.
Watching different Pokémon makes me feel
that way.
# 0_111FGH But I want to study something
with a more clear, definite answer...
# 0_112FGH A variety of Pokémon,
a variety of answers.\f
All of them equally valid.
I thought that when I saw a
Nidoran⑮ over there recently.
# 0_113FGH Rosa: Here, you can feel growth from
day to day.
Before, in Black City, when I battled
VAR(256, 0), I thought I hadn't grown\f
at all.
# 0_114FGH Rosa: Watching the growth of nature lets
you feel some kind of growth every day.
# 0_115FGH Well, that may be true, but just watching
nature gets boring sometimes.
I don't have anything to do.
# 0_116FGH Every day of being alive means many small
changes that give the day meaning.
I thought that when I saw
a Whismur recently.
# 0_117FGH Herman: I've settled in here now, but
before, when I lived in Black City...
Pokémon battles with VAR(256, 0)
sure were fun!
# 0_118FGH Herman: Living here, surrounded by
nature, is very calming.
# 0_119FGH But it's not like me to stay
in one place forever.
# 0_120FGH Oh yeah... I just saw a Porygon!
So strange to see one here... It must
have taken a liking to the forest.
I want to live the slow life here, too!
# 0_121FGH Emi: Right now, I'm on a leisurely
journey, but before that, I had a goal:\f
to win against VAR(256, 0) in Black City.
# 0_122FGH Emi: It's fun to travel as you like, with
no particular goal in mind.
# 0_123FGH But maybe it's better to have at least
some idea of where you're going?
# 0_124FGH In my travels through this forest, I met
a Happiny! I was so happy!
# 0_125FGH Grace: The beauty of the Pokémon battle
I had with VAR(256, 0) in Black City\f
can stand up to the beauty of nature!
# 0_126FGH Grace: The beauty created by nature...
Its grandness exceeds human imagination.
# 0_127FGH The beauty I want to see right now is the
artistry of human hands.\f
I can't satisfy that craving here.
# 0_128FGH The beauty of the Bagon I just saw was
natural and good...
# 0_129ABCDGH White Forest
People and Nature in Harmony
