Upon exiting the cave of the second branching path, you can spot a circular platform to your left. Keep your camera pointed in this direction, as soon a Spheal will roll up onto it. You'll want to toss a Fluffruit at this Spheal to knock him into the water at the center of the platform.

Play the Melody and Take a Photo of Spheal Being Tossed in the Air

With Spheal floating in the center, play the Melody. This should excite a Dewgong swimming underneath to juggle the Spheal by tossing Spheal out of the water.

Dewgong will do this a few times, but be sure to snap your photo quickly! You want to take a photo of Spheal, but also have Dewgong in the frame. Submit this photo to the professor to complete this request.
