Lake Acuity[edit]

When you first arrive here Barry is trying to stop Commander Jupiter from capturing Uxie. He fails and Jupiter's tells him to give up on his dream to become the Pokémon Champion. She then comes to you and remembers you from Eterna City then she tells you something big is happening at the Team Galactic HQ in Veilstone City and that you shouldn't interfere with their plans then she walks off. Barry then says he needs to get stronger not because of just losing or winning sakes and he leaves as well.

There isn't much to do here yet besides surfing to the northeast corner and picking up TM14 Blizzard. In the middle of the lake is the cavern where Uxie stays once its released from Team Galactic.
