After returning to the Beach a few times and getting progressively better pictures, Professor Oak allowed Todd to access a new area: the [[Pokémon Island Tunnel]]. At first seeing only familiar Pokémon, like {{p|Pikachu}}, Todd gradually came to discover and photograph new Pokémon, such as {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Kakuna}}. While frantically looking around trying to take pictures of all these new Pokémon, Todd discovers that the ZERO-ONE slowed down a little when he was facing backward, allowing him to take more pictures of a Pokémon he had already passed by. He discovers and photographs more Pokémon: a {{p|Zubat}}, another Pikachu, which was hanging out next to an odd Egg, and a floating purple Pokémon which he could not readily identify. When Todd arrived to Oak's Lab, he was pleased to discover that the purple Pokémon was easily identifiable in his photos as {{p|Haunter}}. He presented his photos to Professor Oak, who promised that with a few more high-scoring photos, he would receive a new item. After traveling back through the Tunnel one more time, Professor Oak rewarded Todd with Pokémon Food, which could be used to lure Pokémon closer to the camera. With the Pokémon Food as bait, Todd was able to take better photos of several Pokémon. When he threw some Pokémon Food at an Electrode blocking a cave, it blew up, opening a previously unseen entrance to the [[Pokémon Island Volcano]]. He reported this new information to Professor Oak, who encouraged him to explore this new area right away. | After returning to the Beach a few times and getting progressively better pictures, Professor Oak allowed Todd to access a new area: the [[Pokémon Island Tunnel]].

Upon arriving at the volcano, Todd discovered several {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, such as {{p|Rapidash}} and {{p|Vulpix}}. He encountered a {{p|Magmar}} and tossed some Pokémon food its way. Seemingly out of nowhere, a {{p|Charmander}} came out, also wanting some of the food. As the ZERO-ONE continued forward, a red and white [[Pokémon egg]] was blocking the path. Thinking fast, Todd threw a piece of Pokémon food at it, causing it to fall down into the lava. Astonishingly, the egg hatched into a {{p|Moltres}}, which Todd was able to photograph as it flew away. After reaching the Goal Gate and reporting his findings to Professor Oak, Todd was informed that he would need only three more new Pokémon and then Oak would let him access a new area. Returning to the beach with his Pokémon food, Todd was able to get more pictures of Pokémon and was able to get better pictures of some he had encountered before, such as {{p|Kangaskhan}}. He was also able to lead the {{p|Pikachu}} to the surfboard with the Pokémon food, scoring a photo of Surfing Pikachu. Returning back to the lab, Todd had finally got enough different Pokémon photos to access the next area: [[Pokémon Island River]]. | |||
Upon arriving at the river, Todd found several new Pokémon: {{p|Poliwag}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Shellder}}. He noticed a wooden sign near the Slowpoke, and wondered if he could get Slowpoke closer with the Pokémon food. Once it got near the sign, Slowpoke stuck its tail in the water, where it got bit by a Shellder. To Todd's surprise, this caused the Slowpoke to evolve into {{p|Slowbro}}. He continued forward, finding many new Pokémon with and without the assistance of the Pokémon food, such as {{p|Metapod}} and {{p|Psyduck}}. Approaching the Goal Gate, Todd noticed a weird red switch on the ground, and a locked door following a fork in the path. Convinced that the two were related, Todd remarked that he would have to come back and figure it out. After a few return trips to the River, Todd had achieved a high enough score on his Pokémon Report that Professor Oak rewarded him with another item: the Pester Ball. These Pester Balls had a spray in them which would irritate Pokémon into coming out of hiding places, but was still safe enough to not permanently harm them. Returning to the river once more, Todd tried using the Pester Balls at some bushes near that switch. To his great surprise, a {{p|Porygon}} jumped out. He tried them again closer to the switch and a Porygon jumped out and landed right on the switch, opening the big gate he saw before. Todd left the area and reported to Professor Oak, who made arrangements for Todd to visit this next area - the [[Pokémon Island Cave]]. | |||
Todd set out from the lab, ready to investigate the Cave. When he arrived, he discovered several Pokémon, such as {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Grimer}}. Todd tried throwing some Pester Balls at one of the Grimer, which resulted in it evolving into {{p|Muk}}. He saw some strange-looking {{p|Bulbasaur}}, but when he threw a Pester Ball at them, it turned out that they were actually some {{p|Ditto}} using {{m|Transform}}. Continuing through the cave, he encountered a {{p|Jigglypuff}} being chased by a {{p|Koffing}}. He threw a Pester Ball at the Koffing, which allowed Jigglypuff to escape. On the same pathway, he found two more pairs of Jigglypuff and Koffing, taking the time to rescue each Jigglypuff. In the next part of the cave, Todd encountered a {{p|Weepinbell}}, which he knocked into a nearby pool of water with another Pester Ball. This caused the Weepinbell to evolve into {{p|Victreebel}}. Above, Todd spotted a {{p|Zubat}} holding on to a {{p|Pikachu}}. He tried to throw Pester Balls to set Pikachu free like he did with Jigglypuff, but they were too far up, so he missed. He encountered another Egg, surrounded by some {{p|Jynx}}, but Pester Balls and Pokémon food didn't affect it. As Todd approached the Goal Gate, he found the three Jigglypuff he rescued singing together. When he returned to Professor Oak, the photo he took of the Jigglypuff singing turned out to be his most valuable photo to date. Oak rewarded him with access to the last known area of the island - the [[Pokémon Island Valley]]. Before going there, though, Todd decided to revisit some of the other areas now that he had the Pester Balls and food on hand. He returned to the Beach, using his Pester Balls to get pictures of {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Scyther}} and {{p|Chansey}}, which he had not discovered before. After receiving the [[Poké Flute]], Todd returned to the Tunnel, where he was finally able to lure Pikachu to the Egg he had seen before. When he played the Poké Flute, Pikachu unleashed a {{m|Thunder Wave}} attack<!--confirmed in writing in the book that it is Thunder Wave, it is not a guess-->, causing the Egg to hatch and revealing {{p|Zapdos}}, much like Moltres appeared in the volcano. Once it was awake, Zapdos started using Electric power, which got the power plant running again. With the rest of the tunnel lit up now and with the use of his new items, Todd was able to take pictures of {{p|Dugtrio}} and {{p|Magneton}}, which he had not seen before. He also returned to the Volcano, taking pictures of {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Arcanine}} and {{p|Charizard}}, which he was able to discover with his new Pester Balls. Finally, Todd decided to continue onward to the Valley. | |||
Arriving in the Valley, Todd immediately started taking pictures of new Pokémon, such as {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Sandshrew}}. He tossed a Pester Ball at a Magikarp which jumped out of the water, which then got kicked away by a {{p|Mankey}}. He continued forward, discovering {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Geodude}} with the aid of his Pester Balls. He found the Magikarp from before flopping around on land. Hitting it with a Pester Ball to get it back in the water, it swam to a waterfall nearby, where it evolved into {{p|Gyarados}}. He took pictures of several {{p|Staryu}} that passed by, which then started following him. As Todd approached a whirlpool, the Staryu went in, and emerged after evolving into {{p|Starmie}}. He continued forward, taking pictures of {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Goldeen}}. Approaching the goal gate, Todd noticed a switch and locked gate like he saw before at the River. Unfortunately, he noticed it too late, so he wasn't able to figure out how to get the switch to activate. Returning to the Valley a second time, Todd encountered a Squirtle on top of a hill. He shot a Pester Ball at it, causing it to slide up and knock down a Mankey that was on top of the hill. The Mankey landed close by to the switch, so Todd threw another Pester Ball at it, causing it to fall down and activate the switch. Behind the gate, he found Professor Oak, who was also in the valley because he was looking for something called [[Pokémon sign]]s, a phenomenon that he had recently been informed of. Oak had been told by his source that the first of these signs was a mountain that looked like {{p|Dugtrio}}. Todd agreed to help Oak look for the Pokémon signs, returning to the Valley to look for the Dugtrio mountain. | |||
