The Ancient Retreat (Japanese: 古の隠れ里Ancient Hidden Village) is a small settlement in the northeastern portion of the Hisuiregion. The area was most likely founded by the original inhabitants of Hisui. Cogita is the only known inhabitant of the Ancient Retreat.
Geography
The Ancient Retreat is a small, secluded riverside camp which lies at the outskirts of an unnamed wooded area. The retreat is accessible from a narrow grass path that carves through a rocky hill, which leads to a river which can be crossed via a crude wooden plank bridge. The sole inhabitant, Cogita, tends to the land, with patches of gardens growing various flora spread about. A single house lies across the bridge, where Cogita resides. A crafting station and item storage box sit outside the house for the player to use.
Features
Abra
After Kamado banishes the player from Jubilife Village, Cyllene's Abra teleports to the Ancient Retreat to aid them. Abra can transfer Pokémon to and from the pastures of Jubilife Village. After the player is able to return to Jubilife Village, Cyllene's Abra vanishes.
When the player first meets Abra at the Ancient Retreat, it holds a letter from Cyllene addressed to them:
To <player>:
You may use my Pokémon as a go-between to
access the pastures in Jubilife Village.
I've also ensured that you'll be able to utilize
our base camps without issue.
I have every confidence in your ability as an
adept Survey Corps member to bring this bizarre
situation under control promptly.
Sincerely,
Cyllene
Survey Corps Captain, Galaxy Expedition Team
