Salatoi Woods

A large wooded area connecting Salatoi Town in the southwest to Route 50 up north and both the Pyra Desert and Route 55 to the east.

Description
The Salatoi Woods are similar to other areas of densely packed trees such as Viridian Forest and Ilex Forest in that it is maze-like. Many bug types and grass types live within these woods. In the center of the woods, there is a deep pit of water that, on the surface, appears as a cave. However, if a method of Diving is used in the very center of the little pond, the user will enter the Caverns of Infinity.

There are many patches of grass and fallen twigs scattered about the woods, and only two trainers appearing in the woods (with the intent to battle) (throughout the whole story). A man with two Farfetch'd appears, claiming to be from Johto and to be visiting a friend in Nohjo. He gives Lucas a Rare Candy and a leek when Lucas gives him directions to Wika Town.
