The group arrives to the gate, where the path to the forest lied. Two guards stood by, as they could not allow anyone to pass.
 * "Excuse us, we have to cross the forest."
 * "Cannot do. It is too dangerous to go around." the guards refused to let the group enter.
 * "Ah, but we are on a mission, sent by Professor Poplar." Artus showed the Pokédex Poplar gave to him.
 * "Is that so?" the guards were skeptical, but Artus also showed something Officer Jenny gave him, a badge to cross to Maesal Town. The guards gazed at this orange badge. "Looks like he speaks the truth. All right, you are allowed to enter, but mind to be extremely careful."

Artus turns to the group. "Before we go, I think it is best if we split up. Sophiana and Jeremy, come with me. As for the rest of you, here is a purple badge." Artus gives Zoron, Ruby and Scott the item.
