Oh I thought I was supposed to talk to the security officer in the poke center to start the quest. I talked to Watson and started the quest successfully, thank you and sorry for asking without proper research.

I just beat E4 in Hoenn and am trying to do transportation quest and cannot bring the electric barriers down. I have read a few guides about this and it seem that there should be some aqua grunts here for me to beat to disable the barriers, but i don't see any. Am I doing something wrong here, or did i miss any step in the quest? Please help!
