In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Professor Rowan is seen for the first time observing [[Lake Verity]] with his assistant. After being interrupted by the player and {{ga|Barry|their friend}}, he quickly walks off leaving his briefcase, which holds three {{i|Poké Ball}}s containing {{p|Turtwig}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, and {{p|Piplup}}, behind. The player and their friend try to return it to him, but are attacked by wild Pokémon in the process, and are forced to use two of the Pokémon in the briefcase for defense. After returning the Pokémon to Rowan in his lab, Rowan hears about the survival tactics that they used, and tells them to keep the Pokémon, as well as giving them each a [[Pokédex]] to record data about every single Pokémon. | In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Professor Rowan is seen for the first time observing [[Lake Verity]] with his assistant.

After the player obtains the {{badge|Mine}}, Rowan gathers his assistant, the player, and their friend in the [[Canalave Library]], where he tells them about the legends of the [[Lake guardians]]. Rowan asks the Trainers to journey to the three lakes of Sinnoh to find the legendary Pokémon, sending the player's friend to [[Lake Acuity]] in the north, his assistant to [[Lake Verity]], and the player to [[Lake Valor]]. Just as they finish their discussion, however, an earthquake shakes the region, caused by the detonation of the Galactic Bomb at Lake Acuity. After seeing the explosion on the news, the four evacuate the building. Rowan reiterates his request for the player to investigate Lake Valor. | After the player obtains the {{badge|Mine}}, Rowan gathers his assistant, the player, and their friend in the [[Canalave Library]], where he tells them about the legends of the [[Lake guardians]].
