Louise says Waals's home is right down the path they're on. Spritzee says she doesn't like him. We also meet a delivery/transport service, Timburr Transport. Another islander mentions a heavy fog that's been rolling in lately, and also that the Azumarill she's with was found injured, likely one of the ones that lives at the lake. The first house has a triangle mark flag, and the second, an X. That house's occupant mentions that Waals used to take walks by the lake, but hasn't since the fog started coming in. There's an injured Ducklett in the path. An aspiring Pokmon Ranger named Milo Green shows up and heals it with a potion. When Tim mentions Waals, Milo asks if he's with "those other guys", but doesn't elaborate when he confirms he doesn't know what Milo's talking about. Third house has a square...this seems more like something I'd expect from a multi-platform game; it's the exact same symbols as a Playstation controller. Ducklett says it was injured at the lake, but couldn't see what did it because of the fog. Waals is the one who's been training Milo. A lot of the other islanders dislike him, but Milo thinks he's a good guy. There's a Manectric at the entrance to Dr. Waals's home, which makes Milo think he has a guest. McMaster shows up and is trying to apprehend Waals, saying he has reliable testimony that Waals was seen at the lake and that that, along with his previous record, means he's got to be the culprit. Tim tries to step in, and is dismissed as an "amateur", though when he identifies himself as a detective, McMaster says that that changes things, only to immediately say exactly the same thing. Tim gets information on the fog incident--it rolled in about a week ago, and Pokmon have been fleeing the lake ever since. He also says that Waals has been experimenting on the Pokmon from the lake--earning another objection from Milo--and that the bridge to the lake is broken. Waals says he goes to the lake for Potion ingredients, but people only believe what they want to believe, so there's no convincing Brad. Milo seems to know another way to the lake, but he doesn't want to say anything with Brad around. Nothing else to investigate in there, so we leave. Manectric is Brad's partner and has the same attitude as he does. Brad's men admit that he can be a bit stubborn, but they know he means well. There seem to be some glowing eyes out in the fog. Everyone says that the fog needs to be lifted for them to repair the bridge. Also, Waals's house had the circle. We start back to town, and Milo stops us. He tells us of a secret path, and says that people always took something when they went through it. An older villager vaguely remembers something about that, but can't remember what. Ducklett and Tropius are of no help. Timburr mentions that the fog hides smells, too. The old villager also mentions the thing with the eyes. The construction guy knows, though. There was a festival by the lake, and everyone got scrolls. This was before the bridge was built. He directs us back to the old man. He gives us the scroll. There's a full moon backed by green, a half moon backed by red, and a new moon backed by blue. The old man says that the "two scales" will show the way. The monument in town that we saw earlier has scales, but there are three of them. There's a broken statue near Waals's house, though, and it seems like it might be the right one. Milo asks to join us.

If thou wisheth to reach the lake, follow the light of the moon and face the three challenges.

The night of the full moon is beginning. Pass through the shadow of darkness, and when thou witnesseth the split moon, the lake shall bestow its blessings.

Okay, so it sounds like the order is full moon, new moon, half moon.

There's a statue of a Tropius, it looks really realistic. They comment on the green leaves. Stepping forwards, there's an injured Feebas, who Milo recognizes. It says it was swimming in the lake when something suddenly threw it.
