Prepare to navigate the city's rooftops and unravel the mystery of this elusive seating spot.
Unveiling the Secret Bench: A Guide to Lumiose City's Hidden Gem
Deciphering the Clues: The Enigmatic Bench's Proximity
Your quest begins in the vibrant Lumiose City, where a woman seeks your assistance in finding a particular bench. While numerous benches adorn the rooftops, the key to success lies in understanding its surprisingly close proximity to your starting point. Avoid the extensive search across the city's elevated pathways; the solution is far more straightforward than it appears.
Navigating to the Designated Seating: Your Path to the Bench
To pinpoint the desired bench, head directly south from the nearest Pok\u00e9mon Center within Magenta Sector 1. You will discover a compact plaza in this area. Within this plaza, a ladder beckons you upwards. Ascend the ladder and proceed along the path to your left. Here, you will encounter the very bench you are seeking. A simple interaction with it will trigger a cutscene, progressing your mission.
Capturing the Moment: The Unique Photo Opportunity
Following your discovery of the bench, the quest-giver will request a photograph mimicking Canari's pose. However, this is not a literal photo mode task. Instead, you must ascend to a higher vantage point. From the bench's location, move southward and climb a small ledge. Next, you'll need to clear some Mega Shards blocking your path before ascending another ladder. This elevated position will offer a perfect view of the bench below.
Completing the Task: The Final Snapshot and Your Rewards
Once you reach the designated elevated spot, a prompt to "take a photo" will appear as you gaze over the railing towards the bench. Interact with this prompt to initiate a final cutscene, signaling the successful completion of the mission. Your efforts will be handsomely rewarded with 2,300 Pokedollars and five rare Fast Balls. These valuable Apricorn Balls are not typically available for purchase in stores, making them a significant boon for any trainer.
