Deep in the Birchwild Grove, not all that far of from the Noonlight Shrine, exists a clearing among tall birches. Muin has been here dozens of times before, but today, in this clearing, he finds something unexpected: a picnic.

There's every single thing one imagines when thinking of an stereotypical picnic: red gingham blanket, wicker basket, and even a bottle of lemonade and a couple of cups. It looks almost as if someone had just set it all up and begun their feast, but they're nowhere in sight. Had they been driven off by something? A wild Pokémon? Or, had this picnic always been meant to be this way? That would be unlikely in the real world, but Muin could expect it from the game.

Regardless of what the answer to those questions may be, the undeniable truth is that the prospect of an easy meal will likely draw a pokémon or two to this place, and with that in mind, Muin reaches for a Pokéball, ready to release his Ninetales.

ENTERING THE TALL GRASS!

When a Wild PKMN appears, reply using the ATTACK button to weaken it! But watch out— it might fight back! If your PKMN faints, you must go to the closest SHRINE to restore your PKMN. When the Wild PKMN's HP reaches 10% or below, up to 2 players may spend 25 BYTES to catch it here. You may also simply retreat to end the encounter. Retreating succeeds automatically.
