Ilex Forest

Ilex forest is an ancient forest outside of Azalea to the northwest. The forest is rather thick, and most it would be impossible to explore due to the close trees, but there is a small path that leads straight out of it.

Inside is a small shrine that many of the locals say is the home of a powerful and benign pokemon. Many legends surround the shrine, but few know if there is anything to them. Despite the lack of evidence the older Johto citizens still believe in the deity.
