Okay. I have to admit it- I'm lost. I have absolutely no clue where in this stupid forest I am.

Why, oh, why, did I have to go through this forest? Of all the forest in the world I could have gone through, it had to be the Winding Woods. Why couldn't Wulfric have gone through the Straight Woods instead?

The natives of  Snowbelle have legends about this forest. They claim that this forest is alive, and moving. They say that the paths never lead the same place twice. No one has even been able to make a map of it.

Worse of all, though, are the Phantumps. The Pokedex states that they're souls of children who have gotten lost in the woods. The Phantumps are common in this forest. What if I'm the next one?!

I'm so scared right now. I'm almost certain that a Phantump is waiting around every corner, just waiting for me to collapse so that they can claim their next victim.

I was so terrified, I almost forgot to eat lunch. When I finally remembered, I had thought that eating may ease my nerves, but to no avail. Even as I am writing this, I feel as though a thousand eyes are burning into my back, simply waiting to claim my life.

If only I had my Pokémon. Then I could have a companion to help comfort me. But I don't. I left all my partners at the Pokemon Center. The last battle I had really did them in.

What is even so special about the Pokemon Village that causes Wulfric to go there instead of his Gym? I wanted to challenge him to a Pokemon battle, not hid- n- seek!

Darkness has fallen on this forest, and a cold chill has settled in. Currently, I'm in my tent, writing by lantern light. I'm too terrified to go to sleep.

What if, when I fall asleep, the forest changes? What if the Phantumps come into my tent and carry me away? What if it gets so cool, I freeze, and then I become a Phantump? What if one of the Phantumps eat me!?

No. I can't think like that. I will make it out of this. I will. I will not become a Phantump. I will make it to the Pokemon Village, then challenge Wulfric afterwards. I will not die here! My Pokemon still need me!

Truth be told, I didn't sleep a wink last night. I jumped at every soft noise, convinced that a Phantump was about to tackle me. However, it always just turned out to be a Hoothoot, or some other harmless Pokemon.

I already packed up my tent and have started hunting for the Pokemon Village, but to no avail. I'm starting to wonder if the Pokemon Village is just a myth. But, if it were, how long will it take for me to realize it before a Phantump hunts me down?!

Ever since I entered this forest, I felt like I was being watched. But now, I also have the since that I'm being followed, too! What if it's a Phantump, waiting for fresh meat? What if it's a whole family of Phantumps? I don't want to end up being some Pokemon's four- course meal!

No! Stop! I can't think like that! I must keep on going! I must! For my Pokemon!

October 31at, 2016 2:48 pm

I no longer think I am being followed. I know I am being followed.

I thought I had heard a strange noised behind me, and when I turned around I saw a peculiar shadow. The second I spotted it, it vanished behind a bush.

I am now even beyond terrified. I don't even know the word for that! Horrified? Paralyzed? Scared for my life? None of these words are strong enough to describe what I'm currently feeling.

I must get out of this forest! I can't stay here any longer. Forget the Pokemon Village and the ice- type gym; I'll go to some other gym! I just must figure out how to get out of this forest!

October 31st, 2016 6:21 pm

I still haven't found and exit, and the forest is starting to grow dark! I must get out of here, I must!! I can't let the Phantumps eat me!

My Pokemon are still waiting for me at the Pokemon Center! I can't died out here and leave them there! I refuse! I will get out of this forest!

I have currently stopped and set up camp. I hope that the Phantump has decided that I wouldn't be tastey enough. Hopefully... What's that weird noise outside? Is it- ooooooooooohh.........

Hello! I'm Sarah! Nice to meet you! This is a nice book! ^-^

Phantump?!

In the flesh! More or less... XD

My journal! What?! Huh?!

I'm writing in it. Duh, silly! XP

Phantump?! How?!

Actually, I have no clue! I just know I think and words appear on the page! Yay! I can commnicate with people! ^-^

Is this how my life is going to end? Eaten by a Phantump?!

Eat you? Why would I eat you? I don't have a stomach! XD

So you don't want to eat me?...

Of course not! You'd probably taste really bad anyway! ^-^

You use way to0 many emojis.

Do not! You can never have to many emojis! >:3

First lost in the woods, now I'm talking to an insane Phantump through my journal. What next?

I could introduce you to Mewtwo. XD

Oh, no. Please. Talking to insane, emoji- hugging, journal- writing Phantumps is my maximum for weirdness.

Meanie. ;-;

So, if you don't want to eat me, what do you want?

I want to show you how to get to the Pokemon Village! Duh! XP

Okay... but then.... how will I get back?

Wulfric is there. He can show you how to get out! He's never gotten lost! Okay. Maybe once. Twice. I don't know. Sometimes? I thought it was never. I'm so confused! @-@

So, I still might never get out of this forest?

Ehhhh.... Well, he has his Pokemon. No problem! ^-^

Oookaaayyyyy....... So... Why should I follow you?

Because you have no other choice, really! Follow me, or continue wandering the forest until you become like me! ^-^

I guess I'm stuck following a insane Phantump, then. Joy.

Hey! I resent that remark! No! Don't close the book! I'm still-
