Missions in Stage

Do note, you need to have received the Research Mission before you can complete it.

Mission		Unlock
	Guardian of Friends	When taking the alternate path, you will see Rockruff and its friends sleeping. Wake the Rockruff up as the Mandibuzz appears and then throw an Illumina Orb at it. It will fight back. Take a picture of the fight
