Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

WhenPikachu andChikorita first arrive here from theMeadow Zone, Chikorita chooses to stay, while Pikachu goes on a quest to theBeach Zone by first asking aCorphish, who guards the Beach Zone's gate, to give him access.

When Pikachu returns here from the Beach Zone, withPiplup joining him and taking a deflated hot air balloon with them, Piplup chooses to stay to fix and inflate the hot air balloon, while Pikachu then goes on a quest to theCavern Zone by first asking aCranidos, who guards the Cavern Zone's gate, to give him access.

When Pikachu returns here from the Cavern Zone, withCharmander joining him, Piplup and Chikorita show them that they successfully fixed and inflated the hot air balloon, but also notice that it also has a hole, which deflates it again. Chikorita, Piplup and Charmander then decide to stay to fix the hot air balloon's hole, while Pikachu goes on a quest to theHaunted Zone by first asking aDuskull, who guards the Haunted Zone's gate, to give him access afterMisdreavus tells the group thatMismagius living there can explain more about theSky Pavilion.

When Pikachu returns here from the Haunted Zone, Chikorita, Piplup and Charmander tell Pikachu that they successfully fixed the hot air balloon's hole and they still need to stay to inflate the hot air balloon again. Pikachu then goes on a quest to theGranite Zone by first asking aSkorupi, who guards the Granite Zone's gate, to give him access, but not before a sudden earthquake occurs.

When Pikachu arrives in theFlower Zone from the Granite Zone,Shaymin, who lives there, tells Pikachu that a mirror, which is the key to find the Sky Pavilion, is missing, andMareep, who also lives there, tells Pikachu that the early earthquake caused the mirror to fell off the dais and toward the Meeting Place's completed tree house. When Pikachu returns here to find the mirror, Chikorita, Piplup and Charmander show Pikachu that they finally inflated the hot air balloon again and it will be ready to fly soon before Pikachu then goes to the tree house's top to retrieve the mirror and take the mirror back to the dais in the Flower Zone.

In the final cutscene,Teddiursa is seen walking along and spots Pikachu's hot air balloon and runs to tell the others. Pikachu lands with Chikorita, Piplup, Charmander andMew, and the Pokémon in the Meeting Place congratulate them. A party is also held there, where Charmander's fireworks are finally shown, with all the Pokémon looking at them.

Notable features

Misdreavus's stall

Here, the player receives a camera fromMisdreavus with which they can take photos using the - button on their Wii controller. If the player owns an SD card, they may transfer photos they have taken onto it, so they may place the photos on their computer.

Drifblim's stall

Here, the player is introduced toDrifblim who will provide the player with transportation to and between zones for a fee of 20 berries (discounts to 10 berries once Drifblim is befriended and later made free after continued usage). In order to make a zone accessible through Drifblim's transportation, the player must find a sign referred to as a Drifblim Stop located somewhere within each zone. The only one that does not have to be initially discovered is the one in the Meadow Zone as Drifblim explains that there is already a Drifblim there.

Beach Zone	Near the shore on the far left side of the map
