Side Mission 040: A Holovator Without Power

In case you wondered, holovators are powered by electricity. But what happens when they don't quite get a charge? You'll soon find out.

In the far southeast portion of Lumios City, a worker named Elec stands near a building with a broken holovator along its side. When you talk to him, he explains that it is busted. To get it going again, he suggests, you'll need help from a zap-tastic Pokemon like Eelektross.

You don't actually need Eelektross to complete the mission, however. Pikachu will do just fine. Get yourself one in Wild Zone 3, if you don't already have one (although you should by this point in the game). Then move it to your active party.

Call out your Pikachu, target the broken holovator, and use a move such as Thunder Wave to give it a jolt. A brief scene follows and the mission is complete. You receive 1,700 Poke Dollars, Ultra Ball x3, and Mega Shard x10.
