[i]That's...interesting. I'm gonna have to go find one of the bug-catchers when I'm done here, which,[/i] the young man glanced out towards where he could see the large trees of the forest outside the window of the shop and chuckled, [i]shouldn't be all that hard.[/i] Mention of the corrupted marsh made him grimace though, especially since it seemed there was increasing activity. Contrary to the shop owner's belief, not that it was unfounded, his dad had warned him several times about the Corrupted Marsh and what it was, so confirming it and informing Kapoc and Adrianne what was going on would probably be a good idea, though doing it alone...it probably wasn't a good idea, so he should probably ask if anyone else could head this way to back him up. Then came the mention of the myth. [color=#546b5a]"If you're interested in myth, however, then I've got a bit more for you. You've seen those trees, right?"[/color] The shopkeeper asked, referring the towering colossus that were the trees that made up Starbor Forest, which Jason realize he needed some climbing gear.[color=#546b5a]" You've probably never heard of this since you're not from here, but apparently Starbor Forest is home to what some folks call a 'Forest Deity.' Long ago in ancient times, there was a calamitous fire that razed forests and villages into simply ash. In the aftermath, when everything was already lost both people and Pokemon prayed for a miracle, anything to save 'em. Their prayers were answered by what we call The Forest Deity, who raised the forest that we see today from the ground and taught man how to live alongside with its creation, hence the village."[/color] [i]Not unlike the stories about Groudon and Kyogre, though definitely more...benevolent than either of them. And definitely Rayquaza.[/i] The young man returned his attention to the shopkeeper as he mentioned the shrine and the young man made a mental note to definitely chase that down when he reached the woods. Content with the information he got and the shopkeeper was happy to move on, he was about to look at the rods when another man spoke up, the high pitched creak coming from behind him and forcing him to turn around as Bo told him to be quiet. As is usually the case with old coots, the man spoke anyways. [b]"I saw it, I saw it I did! The sky cracked and a person fell out of it! That Adriane girl was on the scene! I'm tellin' ya the truth! I'm not crazy!"[/b] Bo said to ignore it, however, Jason's interest was piqued when he mentioned what happened to poor old Bary. "I'm sorry, and I think I'll just take a red Good Rod, but what is the Night Touch?" He also pulled out his Pokedex and pulled up Adrianne's information to call her when he had a free moment. Something he'd learned from taking history for the Ren Faires back home was crazy people often had good points, if a bit embellished.
