How to Complete Side Mission 005 – I’d Like to See an Ekans in Pokemon Legends: Z-A

To locate the I’d Like to See an Ekans Side Mission in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, players will need to travel to Lumiose City’s Magenta Sector and find the little girl named Ismene.
Isamene can be found not too far from the Pokemon Center, standing in front of one of the buildings. Her exact map location has been included below.

Speak to Isamene, and she will tell you that she is curious about learning what it’s like to pet an Ekans. However, she does not have one, so she’s looking to you to go out and catch one so she can experience petting it.
Where to Find Ekans in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
If you have not already captured an Ekans, you will now need to head out to do so. Ekans can be found in Wild Zone 4, which is located within Dormez Bien Cemetery on Rouge Street.
Here, you will be able to find multiple Ekans slithering around in the grass. Ekans will attack you if it notices you nearby, so be ready for a battle, or find a way to sneak up on one first.

Return to Isamene With Ekans
Once you have captured an Ekans, return to Isamene and speak to her. She only wants to see you, Ekans, not keep it, so you will not need to worry about losing any of your beloved Pokemon through this objective.

Isamene will now pet Ekans, which will make her happy. After this, Side Mission 005 will now be completed, and you will gain your rewards – easy as that!
