Hey,

 

I'm following the steps through the manaphy quest, and I've come to the black ship in Lilycove city, but I get intercepted by these baffoons and they dont let me pass? Is there a step missed in the quest guide? I've double checked the steps and spent the money for the ship 4 times to make sure I did everything step by step in the tutorial.

 

https://prowiki.info/index.php?title=Manaphy_quest try to see if you have followed each and every step of this guide. try backtracking for your benefit.

To start the quest, head over to the Lilycove City Port. Once you are there, interact with Sailor Jacob. He will ask you if you want to go to Eumi Island, press "Yes" and you will be teleported to Eumi Island Town. Once you reach Eumi Island Town, head north into Eumi Island Theme Park 1. When you will try to go deeper into the theme park, the receptionist will stop you saying they are experiencing blackouts and that Wattson reported some problems in New Mauville. From there, head back to the ports, sail back to Lilycove City and head to New Mauville, which can be reached by surfing south-east of Mauville City. Once you are in front of New Mauville, interact with the Officer Shamac and Wattson. After you've talked with both Officer Shamac and Wattson, head back to Lilycove City.

 

This is the part you need to focus on i beleive
