	Games - Ilex Forest

The Ilex Forest is a forest located in the Johto Region of the Pokémon world, only accessible in Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal.

You will have to pass through Ilex Forest in order to reach Goldenrod City. It is also important, as you find that the cutter's apprentice has lost his master's Farfetch'd, as it will not obey him because he does not have a badge. You then find the missing Pokémon, and have to take it on a chase through the forest, pressing 'A' on the correct side of it (the side closest to you, mostly) until it returns to the apprentice, who has been joined by his master. His master gives you HM 01, Cut as his thanks. You will need to have beaten Bugsy before you can use it, though. You need to use it immediately, as the route through the forest is blocked by a small tree. There are two other things of importance, though; a man next to one of the small trees you have seen lining roads who gives you TM 02, Headbutt, and the Ilex Forest Shrine. The Shrine is dedicated to Celebi, the forest's protector, but Gold and Silver players will not need to bother with it as it is only in Crystal that it plays a role. If you have the Japanese version of Crystal, there was a Nintendo event that required the use of the Mobile Adaptor to get the GS Ball, and gave it to Kurt to investigate. If you spoke to him next day, he would tell you something strange was happening in Ilex forest, and give you the GS Ball back, so you could place it in the Shrine and a level 30 Celebi would appear. The Mobile Adaptor feature was taken out in the US and UK versions of the game, even though this part was translated. However, there are two Gameshark codes to achieve it: one will make the GS Ball appear in your bag to give to Kurt, and the other will make Kurt give you the GS Ball, regardless of whether you gave it to him or not. Be aware that the first time you try to enter you will have to face your rival before entering, who has grown stronger since your last encounter, and also don't forget to pick up TM 12, Sweet Scent from the woman behind the counter next to the Butterfree in the guard gate going North.
