Lake Pavilion

**Lake Pavilion** is a secret area in Ibaro. It is south of the Concealed Cave.

## Area description

Lake Pavilion is a hexagonal lake modeled after the Unova region in the original Pokémon Black and White. Shortly after exiting the Concealed Cave, you will pass under an arch identical to the arch found at the end of Victory Road. After passing through the arch, you will be able to travel around the middle lake in a hexagonal pathway shaped like the northern section of Unova, where patches of grass represent cities and wooden bridges represent the four main bridges. South of the hexagonal pathway is a small rocky patch meant to represent Route 4 and the Desert Resort. South of that, the path curves to match the game's first few routes and towns, eventually leading to the shore of the lake, representing the watery area west of Nuvema Town.

Upon obtaining Surf, the player will be able to access the southwestern section, representing the new area of Unova added in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.

Notable structures include two rock huts in the northwestern section that, when entered, will teleport the player between them, as well as a stone tablet in the southwestern section of the hexagonal path.

Lake Pavilion is home to several Pokémon that can only be found there in the early-game. These include Tirtouga, Archen, Mankey, and Floptle. Additionally, it houses the only Clear Apricorn tree in Ibaro as of Demo 0.1.0.

### **Area Information**

* Lake Pavilion: Lake Pavilion is often referred to as "the lost lake" or "the hidden lake" by travelers; its existence is well-known, but not many know how to reach it. Hidden in the mountains south of Tadhana Boulevard, Lake Pavilion's shape may be familiar to trainers with a keen eye. This is, in fact, not a coincidence; the lake was shaped after the Unova region after several wild Pokémon originating from Unova were discovered living near it. Sightings of a certain Legendary Pokémon may have also influenced this decision...

### **Seasonal Changes**

Ibarran Mankey will spawn during the dry season, while Floptle will spawn during the wet season.

### **Forces of Nature Sidequest**

Upon entering after taking on the Forces of Nature Sidequest from Fennel in Senatopia City, Lake Pavilion will be experiencing strange, heavy rainfall. At the center of the lake, you will find the source of the rainfall; Tornadus and Thundurus fighting in their Therian Formes. Upon approaching them, they will notice you and flee in separate directions, making the rain clear up. After encountering them, you will be able to report back to Fennel, where she will give you the Reveal Glass and send you to Pikachu Lagoon to calm down TornadusHonor/ThundurusGlory.

## Items
