Appendix:Platinum walkthrough/Section 14: Difference between revisions

When you step out the door, your rival {{ga|Barry}} will be there waiting for you. After congratulating you on getting the Mine Badge he asks you to come with him to the Canalave Library. Meet him there, then head in the building and go up to the 3F. It turns out that [[Professor Rowan]] is there with his assistant [[Lucas]]/{{ga|Dawn}} and wanted you to be part of this conversation. Rowan explains that during his exploration of Pokémon evolution, he learned of the [[Lake guardians]] that might shed some light on the mystery of evolution he is trying to solve. He is therefore going to investigate the lakes where these three guardians live, and while he is going with his assistant to [[Lake Verity]], you will go to [[Lake Valor]], and Barry is going to [[Lake Acuity]]. Just then a tremor goes off, and you'll learn there was an explosion at Lake Valor, and so the group then separates to head to each of their destinations. First you will need to finish your assignment at Lake Valor to progress the game, but since you now have six badges you can backtrack for items you couldn't get before in places such as the basement at [[Oreburgh Gate]] since you now have Strength. See [[Appendix:Platinum walkthrough/Section 4#Oreburgh Gate Basement|this section]] for more details.
