Once you two finish your battle a loud crash comes from the other side of town alerting both you and Hop. You both run over towards your house to see that the gate that keeps Postwick safe from whatever is hiding in the Slumbering Weald. Moreover, the Wooloo that was trying to break down the gate is gone. With nothing else left to do but give chase, the both of you run into the Slumbering Weald to rescue the lost Wooloo.

==Slumbering Weald (Initial visit)==
Once Hop and you enter the Slumbering Weald for the first time, he’ll wonder where in the world that Wooloo went off too, and that since the fog is starting to thicken if you don’t find that Pokémon quick, there might be trouble. As you’re trekking through the weald you’ll run into two of the regional normal type [[Skwovet]], and the regional bird [[Rookidee]] as forced encounters. Just use your attacking moves to defeat these three encounters and continue on through the Weald. Once the first Skwovet and the Rookidee have been defeated you’ll both hear what sounds to be a Pokémon’s cry, so keep this in mind as you continue through the Weald. After the second Skwovet has been dealt with, you’ll hear that same cry has gotten louder, and Hop urges you to head on into the fog as he’s worried for Wooloo's safety. He runs ahead and once you meet up with him, the fog has become so thick that you can barely tell where you are anymore. As you both are looking for the Wooloo, a mysterious Pokémon emerges from the fog, startling you both with its sudden appearance and a howl. You two are then launched into battle against this mysterious foe, and there’s a couple things to note about this battle. First and foremost, you’re unable to run from this foe. Secondly, every single attack you use against this Pokémon will not hit its mark. Hop will comment on this fact as the battle continues, and the opposing Pokemon will cause the fog to thicken even more as Hop worrily calls out to you to see if you’re okay.


== Slumbering Weald ==
Upon entering the Slumbering Weald for the first time with Hop, he expresses concern about the missing Wooloo and the thickening fog, hinting that finding the Pokémon quickly is crucial to avoid trouble. As you traverse the Weald, encounter two regional normal types, [[Skwovet]], and the regional bird, [[Rookidee]], in mandatory battles. Dispatch them using your attacking moves and proceed through the Weald.
After defeating the first Skwovet and Rookidee, you both hear a Pokémon's cry, prompting you to remain alert. Following the defeat of a second Skwovet, the cry grows louder, and Hop urges you to venture further into the fog out of concern for Wooloo's safety. As you catch up with Hop, the fog becomes so dense that visibility diminishes. While searching for Wooloo, a mysterious Pokémon suddenly emerges, startling both of you. A battle ensues, but there are important aspects to note.
Firstly, you cannot escape from this encounter, and secondly, none of your attacks will land on the mysterious Pokémon. Hop acknowledges this during the battle, and the opposing Pokémon uses its howl to intensify the fog. Meanwhile, Hop anxiously checks on your well-being as you navigate through the challenging situation.

As the battle concludes, the fog thickens to the point of near blindness, and the mysterious Pokémon departs, causing both of you to black out. Upon regaining consciousness and rising from the ground, Leon, having grown worried, calls out to you. He had been waiting for your arrival, and when you didn't show up, he set out to find you. Despite this, Hop realizes that Wooloo still needs rescuing. However, Leon, along with his Charizard, has ensured the safety of the wayward Pokémon.


Leon acknowledges your courage in entering the forbidden Slumbering Weald and understands your motives. Hop expresses relief at Wooloo's well-being and shares his concern when the fog rolled in and the unexpected Pokémon attacked. Leon inquires about the powerful Pokémon you faced, and Hop describes its strength, commanding presence, and the peculiarity that your moves seemed ineffective against it.


As the battle draws to a close, the fog becomes so thick that you’ve basically become blinded and the mysterious Pokémon leaves as the two of you end up blacking out. Once you both come too and pick yourselves off the ground, Leon calls out to you both as he’s come looking for you since he’s worried sick. It turns out he’d been waiting for you both and since you never showed up, he went out looking for you two. Regardless of that, Hop realizes that you still haven’t rescued that lost Wooloo but it turns out that Leon and his Charizard have made sure that the rowdy Pokémon was safe and sound. Leon then comments that you both know that the Slumbering Weald is off-limits, but acknowledges your courage to come in here and understands your reasoning for your actions. Then, Hop is relieved that the Wooloo is alright and was worried for you both when the fog started rolling in and that Pokemon attacked you both out of nowhere. His older brother then asks about the Pokémon you two battled, and Hop comments that it was incredibly stronger than any Pokemon he’s seen. Not to mention its commanding and eerie presence, and the fact that any moves the two of you used against it seemed to pass right through. Leon then speculates about the legend of the Pokémon residing in the Slumbering Weald and if they actually are illusions, but then tells you both to get strong enough to maybe be the ones to reveal the truth about this someday. Before you all leave Hop comments on this experience the two of you shared, and that it’ll make a fine first page in the tale of his legend.
Leon ponders the possibility of the legendary Pokémon in the Slumbering Weald being illusions but encourages both of you to become strong enough to uncover the truth someday. Before parting ways, Hop reflects on the shared experience, declaring it as the initial chapter in the tale of his legendary journey.
