Brooklet Hill lay southwest of the Lush Jungle. Clear streams trickled down from higher ground, nourishing the terraced fields on the hills before gathering into countless ponds of all sizes, scattered across the landscape.

Naturally, Bai Shi had come here for that Water-type Totem Pokémon.
"The Totem Pokémon here is rather unusual. It's called Wishiwashi, a Water-type with the Ability Schooling, which lets it combine with other Wishiwashi."

"Then you've found the right
