Appendix:Pokémon XD walkthrough/Section 2

Shadow Pokémon Laboratory (Cipher Lab)

Immediately upon entry to the Cipher Lab, you'll find the car that the gang took Professor Krane in. That probably means Professor Krane is here. Also immediately, six Cipher Peons in different colors appear. You only have to face one of them, but I'd recommend facing all six to raise your levels and catch all their Shadow Pokémon.



















Funny, a six-Pokémon trainer so early... Anyway, you can head inside now. Go into the right entrance. Heal and save, and while heading for the elevator, a Cipher Peon will pop out.

Cipher Peon Corla
  Level 14 Duskull
  Level 14 Skitty

After the battle, head right. Another Cipher Peon will appear.

Cipher Peon Javion
  Level 13 Doduo
  Level 14 Taillow

Find an elevator and take it. Just as you exit it, a Cipher R&D will challenge you. (In case you're curious, R&D stands for Research and Development.)

Cipher R&D Mesak
  Level 13 Anorith
  Level 13 Lileep

Head north and another Cipher Peon will be there. This one has a Shadow, so get ready.

Cipher Peon Nexir
  Level 14 Swinub
  Level 13 Shuppet
  Level 14 Shadow Spinarak

After the battle, get the Revive and go downstairs. You'll see a cutscene with a really-long-haired Cipher female, Naps (the guy you got the Teddiursa from), and Professor Krane! After the cutscene, telling you about a mysterious "XD001" the girl wants help with, head south and another Cipher Peon appears.

Cipher Peon Solax
  Level 15 Ralts
  Level 16 Voltorb
  Level 16 Bagon
  Level 14 Shadow Numel

Keep heading along the set path to fight two more Peons (Cipher Peon Digor is optional but you can get to a Healing Machine.

Cipher Peon Digor
  Level 15 Abra
  Level 16 Feebas
  Level 16 Makuhita
  Level 15 Machop

Cipher Peon Crink
  Level 14 Snorunt
  Level 14 Barboach

If you want a box with 3 Super Potions (very useful), you can face Cipher R&D Morbit.

Cipher R&D Morbit
  Level 16 Spoink
  Level 14 Lotad
  Level 14 Staryu

And if you want an Ether, you'll have to face Cipher Peon Meda.

Cipher Peon Meda
  Level 16 Natu
  Level 14 Nincada
  Level 15 Wailmer

Head through the other pathway to get a few more tidbits on this XD001. Then they'll will battle you.

Cipher R&D Elrok
  Level 17 Swablu
  Level 16 Wynaut
  Level 15 Corsola

Cipher Peon Coffy
  Level 14 Dustox
  Level 17 Wingull

Keep going south to find another trainer with a Shadow.

Cipher Peon Cabol
  Level 15 Magnemite
  Level 15 Psyduck
  Level 16 Remoraid
  Level 15 Shadow Carvanha

Keep going to face Nopia.

Cipher Peon Nopia
  Level 15 Jigglypuff
  Level 17 Chimecho
  Level 16 Dunsparce

In the next room, you'll hear two scientists talking about the Grand Master of Cipher. Could it be Evice from the last game? Nope, they call him "Greevil". One of them will spot you. The other won't battle you.

Cipher R&D Klots
  Level 16 Snubbull
  Level 16 Kecleon
  Level 15 Shadow Shroomish

After the battle, check the table for the ID Card. Go north for the elevator- you'll have to face another trainer.

Cipher Peon Tekot
  Level 13 Clamperl
  Level 14 Corphish
  Level 15 Zubat

You'll finally find Professor Krane being guarded by Naps. Guess what? In a desperate act to make more battles in this place then there already should be, Naps will rechallenge you!

Cipher Peon Naps
  Level 18 Murkrow
  Level 18 Rhyhorn
  Level 18 Slakoth
  Level 18 Beldum

Finally, Professor Krane is free and will join your party. Now scram!

On your way out, of course, R&D Tekot and the girl will appear and stop you. The girl's name is Lovrina, she's a Cipher Admin, deny her offer, and on with your first real boss battle.

Cipher Admin Lovrina
  Level 20 Luvdisc
  Level 19 Beautifly
  Level 19 Roselia
  Level 18 Shadow Delcatty

Now that you're free, bring Krane home.

Pokémon HQ Lab

The Purify Chamber has been completed. After getting a walkthrough on it, purify any ready Pokémon.

Your mother asks you to check on a guy named Datan upstairs. You know, the guy that's sitting at the computer. But he's not there. He's actually outside. Talk to him, Professor Krane will appear, and he'll tell you to send the Data ROM to Pyrite Town. Now you're on your way to Pyrite Town!
