Since Allure and Treasure town are kinda right next to each other, Birchwood forest is in the same direction from Allure as it is from Treasure town.

I hope you don't mind if I join you. Pl0x. Quick note: while I won't deny that Bob has predator issues, the source of his fascination is the seemingly symbiotic relationship between supposedly predator/prey as they traverse the Forest. He might be terrified of your character, but if he recognizes Thassa as an outsider, he'll cling to her if only to prove to himself that he's NOT SCARED of predators and affirm his desire to have equal relationships with Pokemon.
Alright, I'll probably post tomorrow (it's one in the morning! :D).
