Lake Verity

Lake Verity is one of the lakes that is symbolic of the water-rich Sinnoh region. It's connected to Route 201, but otherwise a dead-end.
== Description ==
Lake Verity is one of the Sinnoh regions three symbolic lakes, though the lake itself has a rather odd legend associated with it. Towards the middle of the lake there is a cave, which can be entered and used to access underneath the lake, though it requires Surf to do so.
Upon entering the lake for the first time, you will stumble upon a strange portal which will pull you into an unknown, eerie place that resembles a ruin of sorts. However, upon interacting with the Worn Hat on the ground you black out and awaken to a trainer by the name of Seth who found you collapsed by the lake.
After recovering, Professor Dawn stumbles upon the two of you and decides it best to entrust yourself, Seth, and Ray/Lex with one of her three Pokémon for your safety, as well as to study their strange forms further. Your options will be Turtwig, a Ground/Fairy-Type, Chimchar, an Ice-Type, or Piplup, a Fighting-Type. Seth will receive the Pokémon with advantage over your own, whilst Ray/Lex will receive the one with disadvantage to yourself.
Once Professor Dawn and Ray/Lex leave, Seth will challenge you to a battle, claiming it must happen now that you've become trainers.
