A herd of wild Popplio, Brionne, and Primarina have taken over Max's outdoor seating, and driven away his staff and customers. And since they're protected species, they can't be simply driven away, so the Pokémon League has to find a way to safely relocate them.
Guide:
Travel to Nightwell City and meet with Max at the Gym.
Buy a Fish Crate from a fisherman in Nightwell Port's Ticket Building, and a Crab Crate from a chef in Reselda Manor's kitchen. (Total cost is $5000)
Acquire a Pokémon with the Soundproof ability. (The Voltorb on Route III are likely the easiest option.)
