'''Forina''' (Japanese: '''ファウンス''' ''Fauns'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive location and one of the settings for ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. It is characterized by scrubs and {{wp|hoodoos|pillar-like rock formations}}. The area's mountainous terrain makes it difficult to access even on foot.

The caverns beneath the valley are where the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} hibernates for a millennium between the periods where it is awakened by the [[Millennium Comet]] for seven days. The power that Jirachi absorbs from the comet is said to maintain Forina's natural beauty.

[[Butler]] and [[Diane]] first visited the area and obtained Jirachi in the hope of restoring the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Groudon}} from a [[fossil]]. Butler somewhat succeeded, with Jirachi's power managing to unleash [[Meta Groudon]]. However, it began absorbing energy from Forina's landscape with its tentacles, consuming people and Pokémon alike. After a long {{pkmn|battle}}, Jirachi used {{m|Doom Desire}} to destroy the Meta Groudon. As a result, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, {{TRT}}, Diane, Butler, and Forina's Pokémon were revitalized.

While Jirachi returned to its crystalline slumber, Diane and Butler decided to stay in Forina. In the ending credits of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', [[Kidd Summers]] visited Forina and met up with Butler and Diane.

According to promotional posters, it is located just southwest of [[Hoenn]]'s [[Mt. Chimney]] and northwest of [[Lavaridge Town]].

KeizerJirachi: /* Vibrava */

which means that it was down to Jirachi that Forina exists. Kinda Awkward wording don't ya think?

== Ferina ==

Chuang Yi's Translation of Movie 6 manga spells this place's name as Ferina. I know their translations can't always be trusted but their movie manga characters & place names are very accurate. They have all correct spellings like Ilene, Kidd, Samaya etc. Can anyone check how DVD subtitles spell its name? If it's Ferina, then the page needs to be moved. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

:The DVD subtitles do spell it as Forina. Consider "Ferina" one of Chuang Yi's mess-ups.

:Sorry, DVD subtitles also confirm the Sea Temple's name as "Samiya". "Samaya" is also one of Chuang Yi's mess-ups. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:36, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

== Image ==

You know how there's the bottom right image of these types of location cards (for instance, [[Forina's Absol (Movie VS Pack 8)]]
shows Forina on the right corner.)? Should we add it on here? [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 17:04, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
:I mean, if you don't think it's worth it, then it's fine...but it makes the location pages seem less empty... [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 17:45, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

== Vibrava ==

So I noticed that they weren't included in the "Pokémon seen at Forina" section, but in the second scene to feature Tropius, there are some Vibrava that fly by between the time stamps of 46:38 and 46:40. Albeit brief, wouldn't it make sense to include Vibrava as well? --[[User:KeizerJirachi|KeizerJirachi]] --[[User talk:KeizerJirachi|talk]] 02:16, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
:Nice catch! I've updated the section and flagged it as needing a screenshot. Thanks for bringing this up! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 11:24, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
