Eterna Forest in Diamond and Pearl

Eterna Forest is a dense, maze-like woodland on Route 205 in western Sinnoh, between Floaroma Town and Eterna City. Cheryl joins you as a partner here to escort her safely through, turning battles into double battles and healing your team after each fight; the abandoned Old Chateau sits in its north-east corner.
