Pokémon Ranger/Where's Politoed?

Back at Base
Joel decides to promote you to Ranger Rank 4 for a successful job! This means you can use the Bug Assist, the Ground Assist, and you can carry one more Pokémon, so your party size is now 5!

You get a message from Spenser telling you that Team Go-Rock has been active in Summerland, so he asks that you go there to gather information. However, Joel informs you that the ferry that goes to Summerland isn't working and the Dragonite that could normally take you there can't be used at the current Ranger Rank. Therefore, you have to go ask that the guy at the harbor with the Lapras if he'll allow you to ride it.

Lapras
Head out of the Ranger Base and continue going south until you find yourself in the first area of the game. As you go to the right to talk to the Lapras guy, you hear cries of help. Continuing right will show that Lapras is being attacked by two Krabby. Capture them.

After you've finished the capture, the Krabby will calm down and be released. The guy says he owes you one, so you ask that he let you ride Lapras to Summerland. He says yes and Lapras has its data added to the Browser.

Just walk to the right and you'll jump right onto Lapras, it's time to go to Summerland!

Summerland
Once you've arrived, go to the left and you'll receive a message from Spenser telling you to go see Cameron, the leader of Summerland's Ranger Base, so that maybe he can give you some info on Team Go-Rock. Head left, then up, then turn right at the first chance to reach the Ranger Base.

Summerland's Ranger Base
When you enter, you're met with Percy and Leilani, who inform you that Cameron went out to a capture contest. Percy goes with his Politoed to get their leader. Talk to Leilani, and Cameron will arrive after, but just like Percy and Leilani, he has never heard of Team Go-Rock. Suddenly, Percy comes back, saying that some suspicious people took his Politoed, that they used a really weird Capture Styler, and that they went toward Olive Jungle.

Cameron asks that you help by going to Olive Jungle and capture Politoed to give it back to Percy. As soon as you exit the base, you get a message from Spenser. Politoed's rescue is now your next official mission! Head to the left then up towards Olive Jungle.

Olive Jungle
Percy comes in and apologizes for the inconvenience, and begs that you get his Politoed back. You are now free to explore, and right away you have access to a new Pokémon.

You can also see some trees that you can use the Field Move on, but you can ignore this for now. Climb the vines and move up to be introduced to the Go-Rock Quads, a group of Go-Rock admins as well as musicians, composed by: Billy the guitar player, Tiffany the violin player, Garrett the bass player and Clyde who plays a drum. After they introduce themselves, they end up leaving you alone for now, so head left to find a member of Team Go-Rock who attacks you with three Wurmple.

After capturing them, head to the next screen and you'll see a Go-Rock member taking Politoed away. In this area, you have a couple more new Pokémon you can catch.

You can use one of the Phanpy here to go back and use its Field Move on one of the trees from before to capture a Slakoth.

Anyway, moving on, follow the same path that the Go-Rock grunt took to the next screen to find a grunt with two Ekans.
