===The Piñata Game===
===The Piñata Game===
This mission, found at Cobalt Coast, only has one part to it, but can be replayed normally like the other missions. Pikachu is invited to a piñata party held by {{p|Venusaur}}, and all its friends want to help it smack the [[Poké Ball]] containing the rewards open. If Pikachu can successfully open the Poké Ball more than once, Venusaur rewards it with the harmonica, which calls {{p|Lapras}} over to ferry Pikachu and the player to Cobalt Island.
