I assume it's the first of mine, but I put the second, just in case, based on the initial reaction of having a partner.MV also forgot to mention the one cave, can't remember what it's called, but the one after you beat the PL, on the big island... anyway, just get the guy up to the part on the north wall.
We didn't... mentioned it in my first post, but thanks.dont forget that riley also becomes your partner. Which is located in iron island right around where you get your 5th badge and you get riolu from the egg.
Not at the same time though. And when you follow the character around, that's not traveling with, otherwise the partner feature would have been around since the G/S/C days, with the old man you had to follow in Cherrygrove to get the map.Actually, you do travel with Lucas/Dawn when they show you how to catch a Pokemon, and you do battle with them in Jubilife and Vielstone.
