Magnolia Forest

Zhang Cheng took a taxi and spent nearly two hours reaching the outskirts of Magnolia Forest.

After arriving at the forest's edge, Zhang Cheng did not head straight inside. Instead, he went to the Pokémon Mission Hall nearby.

A separate Pokémon Mission Hall had been established near Magnolia Forest, and its missions were all at least Silver Rank.

Mission 1: Go to Magnolia Forest and catch a wild Paras. No restrictions on level or potential. Reward: 30,000 Pokémon Coins.

Mission 2: Collect twenty Candlenut Berries in Magnolia Forest. Reward: 15,000 Pokémon Coins.

After weighing his options, Zhang Cheng had selected these two missions as the best value for his time and effort.

Once he confirmed that everything was in order, Zhang Cheng promptly accepted them.

Every Poké Ball bore a registration number recorded by the League, linked to the Trainer who had purchased it.

Some people might release a Pokémon and then have
