With most of North Province Area One explored, I enter North Province Area Two, which is a bamboo forest filled with Pokémon, and that is where the Fighting Crew Base of Team Star is located. I then find the secret behind Bisharp, and that it has to do with the wild Bisharp in the area.

As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description

This video showcases North Province Area Two, but I won't be taking on the Fighting Crew Base until the next part. You can find Bamboo Twigs in the forest, and those can be sold for a good amount of money, kind of a missed opportunity when you put in a bamboo forest and don't even include the Pancham line in the game.
For new encounters, there is only one unless evolved Pokémon count, the new encounter is the Bug/Fighting-type Heracross. While it does come really late, Heracross is a solid Pokémon, it has Attack for its best stat, and while it does get Megahorn and Close Combat for level up moves, it does at least come with Brick Break to give it a good Fighting-type move before Level 60, and Heracross can make use of moves like Pin Missile, Bullet Seed, and Rock Blast with the new Loaded Dice to make sure its multi-hit moves hit at least four times. It even has good TM compatability with moves like Stone Edge, Earthquake, Shadow Claw, Rock Slide, and many other moves, making it a good choice for a Bug-type, or if you need a final team member.
For evolved Pokémon, some of them can be found with their pre-evolved forms, those being Kricketune, Spidops, Luxray, Amoonguss, and Bisharp, and this is the right time to go over the secret about Bisharp. The wild Bisharp that are with a group of Pawniard hold an item called the Leader's Crest, this item doesn't do anything, but only Bisharp with groups of Pawniard hold the item. Bisharp even gained a new evolution, to evolve Bisharp, what you have to do is have your own Bisharp defeat three wild Bisharp that hold the Leader's Crest, the best way to do that is to teach it a Fighting-type move like Brick Break, which can help take down the wild Bisharp. Once your Bisharp has defeated three wild Bisharp and levelled up, it will evolve into a new Pokémon called Kingambit. While it does lose some Speed, Kingambit gains some Attack and Defense stats, and it has good HP, and there are some things unique to it, its signature move is Kowtow Cleave, this is an 85 Power Physical Dark-type move that never misses, and Inner Focus from Bisharp turns into Supreme Overlord, this gives Kingambit a boost in Attack and Special Attack whenever its allies have been defeated, and if Kingambit is the last Pokémon in battle, it gains a 50% boost, this can really make its moves hurt in battle, and if you are wondering, your Bisharp doesn't have to hold the Leader's Crest, you just have to defeat three wild Bisharp that hold the Leader's Crest.
There are some Wild Tera Type Pokémon in North Province Area Two, the first one is a Level 55 Slaking with the Ghost Tera Type, this Slaking comes with Shadow Claw for a Ghost-type move, and it knows Giga Impact, and this can make a good Pokémon to bring to the Fighting Crew Base, it will require a TM to teach Play Rough to it.
As with the Trainers, some of them have some Pokémon at around Level 50 or other, one of them has an Arboliva, this is the final evolved form of Smoliv, it evolves from Dolliv at Level 35. Arboliva has the unique Ability of Seed Sower, if Arboliva is hit by an attack, it activates Grassy Terrain, and this pairs well with Terrain Pulse, as it becomes a Grass-type move when Grassy Terrain is active. With good Special stats, Arboliva is a bit on the slow side, it does get some good Special moves like Earth Power, Dazzling Gleam, and Hyper Voice, it's not a bad Grass-type to use, and there are no wild Arboliva, well aside from Tera Raids, and I haven't had any luck finding any wild Dolliv in areas where you would find them.
Other hidden items you can find is a Power Herb, this can be a good item to give to Pokémon that can learn Sky Attack, like Hawlucha for example, and as Hawlucha has Unburden, its Acrobatics can deal huge damage. It's not only Sky Attack, the Power Herb even works for moves like Solar Beam and other two turn moves.
