Fortulose ManorFortulose Manor

Fortulose Manor is an old and mostly abandoned mansion which is accessible deep in the forest on Route 9. Inside the manor, candles have a small chance to turn purple randomly, allowing players to encounter the Candle Pokémon Litwick upon clicking. Also, in one of the rooms on G/F is a dining table with teacups on it. These teacups also have a small chance to turn purple, allowing players to encounter the Teacup Pokemon Sinistea upon clicking. The player also has a chance to capture the special Pokémon Rotom.

Notable Events

Catching Rotom

Start in the music room at the very end of the bottom left hallway. There are instruments and a jukebox inside. If the player clicks the flashing jukebox, he or she will start a chase with Rotom. The player will have to go back and forth through the manor exploring every room looking for electronic devices Rotom has possessed. Access 1/F by opening the red book in the bedroom, then clicking the green button, which sucks the player into the wardrobe and spits them out in an identical room on 1/F. The player can go back to G/F by walking down the broken stairs and falling down or through a hole in the railing. 2/F is accessible through the rightmost door on 1/F, where the player then climbs up the slope on the balcony.

The exact order of electronics is:

1. Jukebox [GF]
2. Computer [1F]
3. Toaster [GF]
4. TV [2F]
5. Hairdryer [GF]
6. Baby Radio [GF]
7. Gameboy [1F]

At the end, the player will find Rotom inside a Game Boy on 1/F where the player is spit out from the wardrobe. It is strongly recommended that the player should save immediately and turn off Autosave before clicking on the console. When the player clicks it, the player will see the same electric effect above it, but then it shocks the player and he or she is sent into the Game Boy, spawning at Lavender Town, Kanto. The graphics will change to that in one of the very first core series games — Pokémon Yellow, with Starter Pokémon Pikachu following the player, who has respawned as Pokémon Master Red.

The player is forced to walk right and go inside the Pokémon Tower, as trying to go elsewhere will only lead to an endless path. When the player tries to enter the tower, a fight will automatically start with Rotom inside the Game Boy. Pikachu is sent into battle, but apart from Thunder, every move has no PP left, so the player is forced to use Thunder on Rotom. Player will then be taken out of the Game Boy and get to battle Rotom for real, where the Plasma Pokémon can now actually be caught.

Mouse Holes

Main article: Mouse Holes

Throughout Roria, there are mouse holes that can be found. In Fortulose Manor, there is one, by the fridge in the kitchen (G/F). Mouse holes have a small chance, during the night, for a Pokemon's eyes to be able to be seen through them. If they are, players can interact with it to encounter a Pokemon. Otherwise, it is possible to leave the area and return to have another chance of encountering it.
