Rest day.
Baimu returned to Platinum Silver Mountain with the Ho-Oh Guard.
Compared with the quiet Sacred Forest, Platinum Silver Mountain was livelier. Wild Pokémon gathered in large numbers across small areas and, led by various "geniuses," were always finding something to do.
So their arrival drew crowds of Wild Pokémon, who lined the path to welcome them... or rather, to stare.

Wait.
Why are you looking at me?
I haven't seen him in ages!
If not for how peacefully Baimu had treated them yesterday, the Ho-Oh Guard might have suspected he'd invited them here to
