The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower Walkthrough
Main Mission 05 Walkthrough
| The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Exit your room and take the elevator down to the lobby on 1F where the mission will officially start. |
| 2 |  Leave the hotel after the cutscene and Tarragon, along with two of his men, will appear and give you a Red Canari Plush. |
Collect Colorful Screws to Get and Upgrade Canari Plush
You can get more Canari Plushes and upgrade their effects by collecting Colorful Screws and trading them at the Racine Construction.
Canari Plushes can increase EXP gained, money earned, and give other effects just by having them in your inventory, and you can get them by picking up the Colorful Screws found on scaffoldings!
| 3 |  As you follow your rival to their secret shortcut, your path will be immediately blocked by a chunk of Mega Crystals. Destroy it with an offensive move from one of your Pokemon (Tackle will do) to clear the ladder and obtain some Mega Shards. |
|---|---|
| 4 |  Climb the ladder and hop off the ledge on the other side. You'll start finding Mega Crystals while exploring from this point onwards. Be sure to destroy them for their Mega Shards as they can be traded for Mega Stones later on.  Cross the bridge to continue following your rival through the rooftops. Jump off the ledge at the end of the path and let your Rotom Phone land you safely below. |
| 5 |  Ahead is Wild Zone 2 where you can train or catch Pokemon like Budew, Binacle, and Magikarp.  When you're done with the Wild Zone, head northwest and meet up with your rival at the food truck. |
| 6 |  Next stop is Emma's detective agency! Follow your rival until you both reach the Rouge District, where your rival will notice a gathering in front of Wild Zone 3.  The two of you will get called out in the midde of the speech, and you will be forced to battle Josee of the Fist of Justice in your duo's behalf. Josee will send out a Lv.10 Machop and a Lv.11 Meditite. |
| 7 |  Once the battle is settled, Wild Zone 3 will be free for you to explore! Skiddo, Pancham, and Litleo are some of the Pokemon that can be found here.  Continue the main mission by heading northwest of the Wild Zone. Approach your rival in front of the Looker Bureau and enter the building with them. |
| 8 |  Side Missions will be unlocked after the cutscene in Emma's office. These are requests from the citizens of Lumiose that provide rewards when completed. To start, Emma will let you handle three Side Missions that you'll need to complete to progress! 001 - A Big Ol' Bunnelby 002 - A Use for an Evolution Stone! 003 - Sableye in the Cemetery |
| 9 |  After completing the first three Side Missions, report back to Emma at the Looker Bureau to continue. She plans to teach you about Mega Evolutions outside, but you will need to beat her Lv.15 Mareep in a Pokemon battle first.  Win the battle and she will show you how Mega Stones work by using one on her Ampharos to turn it into Mega Ampharos! The mission will then be completed and you will be pinged about your promotion match afterwards. The following Side Missions will be unlocked after completing Main Mission 5: 004 - A Break Time Battle 005 - I'd Like to See an Ekans! 006 - Long-Range Moves Have Style 007 - A Feisty Chespin 008 - Get Well, Fennekin 009 - A Challenge from Froakie |
