===Villainous Team===
===Villainous Team===
Within the game, depending on the version, the villainous team, '''Team Shadow''' will seek to use the power of Solamasa or Masamoone to cause either endless day or endless night. In the third version, Team Shadow attempts to use both Pokémon to control all of time, day and night alike, but only rouse them into renewing their battle. Thus, Starsanagi is called upon to quell their fighting once again. To reach their goal, Team Shadow uses powerful machines to try and control the minds of Pokémon, and is in the process of refining the technique to be strong enough to effect Solamasa and Masamoone. The leader of Team Shadow is '''Selena''', who also harbors a secret kept quiet right up until the end of the game.

Her ultimate goal is to fulfill a prophecy that says when darkness covers the land, the Pokemon of the Stars will appear.

*'''Cecily''' - A Psychic-type trainer, Cecily is not met outside of Pokémon League, but is friends with Stella, being the trainer who halted Stella's challenge, and is intrigued that the player beat her. When beaten, Cecily laughs and agrees the player was a worthy challenger, and understands why Stella lost to them.

*'''Walter''' - A Water-type trainer, Walter is a stern man who shows no mercy in the heat of battle. He considers the Elite Four the unquestioned strongest trainers in the world and openly mocks the player, considering their challenge futile. Even when defeated, he refuses to admit it and claims it was a fluke, though he lets the player move on nonetheless.

*'''Selena''' - A Dark-type trainer and the leader of Team Shadow. Selena uses her influence as the head of the Elite Four to keep her leadership of Team Shadow secret, and to scout out strong trainers to join her crusade for power. She disbands Team Shadow after failing to control Solamasa/Masamoone and retreats to Pokémon League to defeat the player at last, "crushing their dreams at the pinnacle of victory - just like they did to her". When the player defeats Selena, she grudgingly admits the player is stronger than her.
*'''Clair''' - A Lightning-type trainer, Clair is a stoic man, arrogant and cold. He reveals in his dialogue he was once the Champion, but was defeated five years ago by the current Champion. Even if the player beats him, he warns they are no match for the current Champion and tells them he'll be waiting to hear how well they did before losing.
*'''Champion''' - Undecided.

In dialogue with NPCs in areas after the game, as well as in post-game Team Shadow areas, it is revealed Selena was neglected as a child and was a loner ostracized by other children because she couldn't catch Pokemon. A legendary Pokemon, the Mew-equivalent, appeared to her one night and said it heard her sorrow, and would grant her a wish of happiness. Selena wished to be the greatest Trainer in the world. Together, she and the legendary Pokemon conquered the Gyms and the Elite Four, but as she took her place as Champion, the legendary Pokemon told her it had to leave, her wish fulfilled, it had to return to the stars. Left alone again after all they had been through together, Selena used her influence as Champion to track down strong trainers and recruit them into Team Shadow, mis-interpreting the legend about the Pokemon of the Stars to refer to her former partner and wishing to call it back to her by creating an endless night.
