With nothing left to find in the Black City, Julian headed towards the White Forest, unlike Black City the white forest if mostly home to old people who had enough of living in the loud cities and wants to enjoy the peaceful environment of the forest.

Being surround by the forest and being protected by its pokemons, these people don't have to worry about much in their life, they get up grow their own food, eat it, and got back to living their peaceful lives. ​​

With the forest proving them from food to shelter, they don't worry about much in this world and what's going on outside the trees.

Julian got on his bike and headed towards White Forest, for some reason he had to get out of Black City before entering the White Forest, they didn't build any passage that directly connects the two places. When he arrived at the entrance of the White Forest he saw few people standing outside it.

They looked like normal people, the only thing common between these people is that they all are wearing white cloths so they go along with the forest's theme.

When these men noticed a man heading towards their forest, they quickly got in the middle of the route and stopped him.

Julian hit the brake as he saw these men blocking his path, he didn't understand why they were blocking him, the Crow gang leader said that they don't bother with outside people unless they don't cause any trouble.

Julian stopped right in front of them and looked at them with doubtful eyes.

"Excuse me, sir, sorry for the inconvenience but you cannot ride your bike inside the forest, only walking is allowed inside the forest"

Julian realized that these people are really serious about protecting the forest, they can't allow even a single motorcycle into the forest, knowing that he won't be allowed to enter without putting his bike away, he got off the bike and put it away in his dimensional pouch.

Since he put his bike away the men smiled and moved away from the route to let Julian through, now that he has no bike to ride now, he has to walk through the White Forest and reach the civilization that is situated in the middle of the forest.

The forest is not that big compared to other forests Julian has been or camped in but this one is very special, as he walks on the road that is going through the forest, he looks carefully at the trees, why are these branches white, they are not totally white, but they are very close.

Soon Julian noticed a lot of pokemon wildlife, some of them were had great potential and attracted Julian's attention but he decided to not catch them as he wanted to find some rare pokemons for his team.

After walking for quite a while he finally came across the village that is inside the forest, he looked around and saw people walking around and talking to each other, most of them were past their 30s and older, they had their pokemons beside them and most of these pokemons looked very peaceful in nature.

Some of these people noticed Julian and smiled at him, few kids rand towards him as they saw a new face, being the curious little ones they are, they greet anyone with a big smile on their face when they see them.

Julian was dragged into the village by the little kids and brought him to the village elder.

The village elder who was sitting under a tree arranging a basket of flowers saw a bunch of kids drag a stranger towards her, she was used to this by now, these kids would always bring strangers to her because she was the one who gave them the task to escort travelers to her house.

The Village Elder got on her feet and smiled at Julian"

Village Elder "Sorry for the inconvenience, these little kids are naughty"

She said and laughed while looking at the small kids who ran away after leaving Julian in her hands.

Village Elder "So young man, what is your purpose of visiting our little village?"

Julian "Ah, I will get straight to the point, I want to visit the ancient ruins that are here in the White Forest"

When the Village Elder heard about what Julian wanted, she showed signs of hesitation, Julian, of course, noticed it and thought it won't be easy to get access to these ruins.

Village Elder "I don't think that's possible"

Julian "Why is that?"

Village Elder "That part of the forest was accessible before to every pokemon and people in the forest but now things have changed, some pokemons from other forest have come and occupied the area and they are very ferocious and wild, many pokemons have fled from that area since these wild pokemons attacked anyone that got in their sight"

The Village Elder explained the current situation of the forest and how some wild foreign pokemons have taken over the part of the forest where the ancient ruins lie.

Julian "I think I can take care of that"

He said. They are just wild pokemons, Julian can take care of them so it doesn't matter who is around the ancient ruins.

Village Elder "I don't know these pokemons are really strong and they have a massive number in their group as well, many people from our village tried to fight back but everyone failed"

Julian "Don't worry, I know my limits, if things turn bad I will make a run for it"

Village Elder "Fine, we usually don't allow strangers to go near the Ancient ruins but now that we have been blocked from going there, we can make some exception, if you are able to chase them away, we can let you access the Ancient ruins"

Julian "It's a deal"

Julian said and smiled.
