The '''Villain Arc''' (Japanese: '''悪の組織編''') is a storyline available in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] as part of its '''Main Story''' (Japanese: '''メインストーリー'''  ''Main Story'').  It follows on from the events of the [[PML Arc]], and it tells the stories of various [[villainous team]]s and their exploits on [[Pasio]].

As with the PML Arc, each chapter is unlocked once the previous one is completed and battles are available in Normal and Hard difficulties. All Normal difficulty battles provide 30 Gems as a First-Time Reward, while Hard difficulty battles reward the player with 100 Gems upon defeating the stage for the first time. The recommended level for the Villain Arc is level 30.

==Kanto: Team Rocket Returns==
This chapter introduces [[Team Rocket]].
 
===Plot===
{{sectionstub}}
;Where's Red?
The episode begins with a shot of {{mas|Giovanni}} facing several {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s, when {{mas|Red}} approaches to confront them. 

At the [[Pokémon Center]], [[Professor Bellis]] informs the [[player]], [[Paulo]], and [[Lillie]] that no one has heard from Red in three days. The three join with {{mas|Blue}} to help Professor Bellis and {{mas|Lance}} look for [[Team Rocket]]'s hideout on [[Pasio]]. 

The group finds some Team Rocket Grunts at the ruins. Paulo is unsure about Blue's plan to charge in and defeat the grunts, but he and the others are victorious. Paulo watches as Blue, Lillie, and the player move forward into the ruins. He begins to show doubt in his own strength, when another Team Rocket Grunt appears. The grunt recognizes Paulo's desire to get stronger, and asks him if he wants to join Team Rocket.

;A Tricky Trap

As they venture onward into the ruins, Blue, Lillie, and the player realize that Paulo isn't with them. They come across another group of Team Rocket Grunts and decide to battle them in order to keep moving forward, thinking that Paulo would do the same thing. 

The group reunites with Paulo and Blue compliments him for getting to the center of the ruins, assuming he battled many grunts along the way. The group is surprised to see {{mas|Lt. Surge}} rushing towards them. He reveals that Professor Bellis has been abducted by Team Rocket. Blue realizes that the grunts they had seen at the ruins were put there to lure them away from Professor Bellis's lab. As the group prepares to leave, Lt. Surge holds Blue back. He tells him that he saw Paulo speaking with a Team Rocket Grunt.

At Team Rocket's hideout, Professor Bellis is approached by Giovanni, who demands information on [[sync stones]]. He reveals that he wants to harness the power of sync stones to make his subordinates even stronger.

;Seeking Strength

While Blue and his group debrief with Lance, {{mas|Blaine}}, and {{mas|Lorelei}} at the Pokémon Center, Paulo leaves rather suddenly. Lillie and the player follow after him. Paulo expresses his need to become stronger and Lillie suggests working together to train. To Lillie and the player's surprise, Paulo walks away and leaves them behind. Watching from a distance with Blaine and Lorelei, Blue decides the best thing is to let Paulo make his own decisions.

;Rocket Hideout
At the Pokémon Center, Blue reveals that he has finally located Team Rocket's hideout. They make a plan to infiltrate the hideout, and Paulo joins the group at the last moment. At the hideout, {{mas|Brock}} and {{mas|Sabrina}} join the others to let them push farther into the building. When they become overwhelmed while fighting more grunts, Red and his {{p|Snorlax}} arrive to take down all of them. Red tells Blue that the reason he disappeared was to recover after wiping out half of Team Rocket. Blue is frustrated for not being invited, but is happy that Red is now here to help finish the job.

;Giovanni's Gambit

The group finds Professor Bellis surrounded by Team Rocket Grunts. They demand for Giovanni to let her go, but he attacks with his {{p|Mewtwo}}. When Lillie and Paulo's Pokémon get knocked out, the player teams up with Red and Blue to bring Mewtwo to its knees. When Giovanni brings in reinforcements, Red lets his Snorlax Gigantamax, giving the group and Professor Bellis a chance to escape. 

The group returns to Professor Bellis's lab, but she is upset that a memory stick with her research data has been stolen by Giovanni. Blue makes a plan to charge back into Team Rocket's hideout, but notices that the rest of the group is rather weary. Just then, {{mas|Misty}} and {{mas|Erika}} enter in their [[Sygna Suit]]s. They let Red and Blue carry on ahead, and Paulo protests when he is told to stay behind and rest up his Pokémon.

At a glacier, Giovanni reveals that he has all of the research he needs on sync stones, and is ready to enact his plan with his grunts.

==Sinnoh: Dreaming in Darkness==
This chapter introduces [[Team Galactic]]. Unlike other chapters of the Villain Arc, it does not take place in the order it appears on the Explore menu. Despite being placed between the Hoenn and Unova chapters, it takes place between the Kanto and Johto chapters.

===Plot===
{{cleanup|section}}
The episode begins with {{mas|Cyrus}} waking up from a never-ending darkness caused by {{p|Darkrai}}. Wanting to live in this never-ending ideal void, Cyrus states he will learn more about [[sync stone]]s and [[Sygna Suit]]s to harness their power.

At the laboratory, [[Professor Bellis]] informs the player that the [[International Police]] have started their investigations on Pasio, including into recent issues with [[Team Galactic]]. {{mas|Barry}} leaves to stop Team Galactic, while {{mas|Lucas}} and {{mas|Dawn}} go to inform {{mas|Cynthia}}.

At some ruins, Lucas and Dawn arrive and find Cynthia. Cynthia tells them that [[Legendary Pokémon]] seem to have been appearing at these ruins, and that {{p|Giratina}} appears to be interested in the traces of other Pokémon that have come here. {{p|Dialga}} then appears suddenly before disappearing, and Lucas wonders if it was trying to tell them something. Dawn then goes on to report to Cynthia about Team Galactic's operations on Pasio. A mysterious man spots the cave and enters the Team Galactic hideout disguised as Grunt with Croagunk.

At Centra City, {{mas|Brock}} and {{mas|Erika}} confront and defeat Team Galactic commanders Jupiter, Mas and Saturn who have been trapping other Trainers in a nightmare. Barry arrives, and the team head back to Bellis's lab to update Cynthia, Dawn and Lucas on this mysterious phenomenon. They speculate that Team Galactic appear to be harnessing Darkrai's power, before Professor Bellis reports to the team that the International Police have found Team Galactic's hideout. Near the hideout, Cynthia, Lucas and Dawn meet Barry. Cynthia suggests that the team should split out with her being alone. That means Lucas, Dawn, and Barry will go as a group.

Inside the hideout, the team battling against three Grunts. The other Grunt, which is mystery man that was with Croagunk, commands it to stop the other Grunt's Pokémon. Later, these Pokémon has fainted and the Grunts retreated. The mystery man who was actually [[Looker]], removes his Grunt disguise and introduced himself. He was sent to International Police to investigate Pasio. Looker left and he disguises as Grunt again. Cynthia alone met with commanders, challenges their Pokémon with Giratina and wins. She warns the commanders about consequences what Cyrus will do. Saturn say that he is seeking more power to create a brand-new universe.

Lucas, Dawn, and Barry met with Cyrus, who now have both Dialga and Palkia and command to get them. Dialga disobey Cyrus. Palkia attacks it, and Lucas wants him to stop this. Cyrus say he wants to create a world that got rid of incomplete spirit and where feelings no longer exist with all human spirit must be erased, with his conversation was heard at the lab. At hideout, Cynthia left the commanders, as they are questioning him. Cyrus become victorious on the team's Pokémon. Lucas's sync stone is reacting what Dialga has been waiting for this and he forms the sync pair with it. Lucas and Dialga use their sync move against Cyrus's Palkia and defeated Cyrus. After the battle, Cyrus with Darkrai were vanished. Looker inform team that Grunts were asleep due to Darkrai powers.

A few days later, at the lab, the team discuss that Cyrus's plans has been putting into action and all sync pairs all over Pasio are falling asleep, having terrible nightmares and no waking up. Looker mentions that the affected sync pairs are getting treated at the Pokémon Center. Dawn arrives and she informed that she was able to wake up all affected sync pairs with {{p|Cresselia}}'s power.

Cyrus in his sygna suit appears inside Darkrai's {{m|Dark Void}} and claim that it is the ideal world he seek.

At the Bellis Lab, Dawn dresses herself in sygna suit to match Cresselia's colors. {{mas|Professor Sycamore|Professors Sycamore}} and Bellis arrive to the lab and report that Darkrai's nightmare is taken over with Sycamore falls asleep because of it.

Cynthia and company arrive to Centra City to see the sync pairs fall asleep. They thought that Darkrai's power overpowering Cresselia's. They later returned to the lab, because they can also be asleep. The commanders arrive to the lab to help the company finding Cyrus.

They found the asleep grunt, which actually is disguised Looker. He found the whereabouts of Cyrus. The group arrive to the cave and see Darkrai. They entered the Dark Void, with Dawn's Cresselia using power to wake up Cyrus from nightmare. They battled him and won. After that, they told Cyrus about how important feelings and bonds are. Cyrus managed to understand it and leaves with his commanders. Meanwhile, {{mas|Giovanni}} appears at the scene after Cyrus leave and calls his loyal subordinates to preparing [[#Johto: Team Rocket Revival|Team Rocket's Revival]]. At the lab, the group hope Cyrus will change.

==Galar: A Millennium into the Future==
This chapter introduces {{mas|Rose}}, {{mas|Oleana}}, and [[Team Yell]].

===Plot===
;The Galar Region's Hero
{{mas|Rose}} talks to a group of kids about his {{p|Copperajah}}. When one of them asks what his job is, {{mas|Oleana}} explains that he's chairman of the Galar Pokémon League and president of a large business conglomerate. He starts to tell the kids more about Galar, but Oleana hurries him off to their next engagement.

Later, as Rose and Oleana are visiting a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} in town, {{mas|Victor}}, {{mas|Hop}}, {{mas|Gloria}}, {{mas|Sonia}}, and {{mas|Leon}} pass by and are shocked when they notice Rose. He greets them warmly, but they are less than pleased. Rose and Oleana don't have any idea why the group thinks Rose was arrested, so they play along with Rose's assumption that they were just joking and step away to discuss what's going on. Leon doesn't think they were lying or playing innocent, and Victor suggests that they might not have done anything at all. After all, there are people on [[Pasio]] who say that they remember things slightly differently than others, so they may have come from slightly different times. So, this Chairman Rose and Oleana here might have come from a time before they caused the Darkest Day in [[Galar]]. Hop is worried that they might start something on Pasio, and Leon doesn't know how to reassure him. Rose interrupts their conversation to suggest that they walk around Pasio and talk.

;As Quickly as Possible
Leon and Sonia are too busy to go on a walk, so only Victor, Hop, and Gloria come with Rose and Oleana. While on their walk, they run into crowd watching a battle between {{mas|Allister}} and {{mas|Shauntal}}. They each use their [[sync move]], sparking interest from Rose and Oleana, who have never seen them before. Hop and Victor explain briefly what sync moves and [[sync stone]]s are, and Rose comments that a sync stone must hold a lot of energy. He then asks if the kids can introduce him to whoever on Pasio is an expert on sync stones, so they take Rose to meet [[Lear]] and [[Professor Bellis]]. 

At [[Battle Villa|Lear's mansion]], Rose explains that he wants to solve the energy problem in the Galar region and around the world, and he thinks sync stones might provide the solution to that problem. He wants to take over the management of sync stones and focus sync stone research on its potential as an energy source. Professor Bellis reminds him that sync stones have boundless potential beyond being a good source of energy, and they shouldn't limit the use of sync stones to a single purpose. Lear agrees, believing that sync stones can enrich the connection between Pokémon and Trainer and that the research into them shouldn't be rushed - there are plenty of people on Pasio who abuse the power of sync stones. In addition, Professor Bellis warns that because they don't completely understand sync stones, they can be unstable at times. She wants to keep studying the utility and dangers of sync stones, so she cannot allow him to bring her research to a complete stop. Rose promises to think over their words and thanks them for their time. 

Afterwards, Hop, Victor, and Gloria are concerned about the fact that Rose is still rushing to solve the energy crisis as soon as possible.

;Whispering Shadows
Hop, Victor, and Gloria report everything from their conversation with the chairman to Leon. Then, Leon explains to Lear and Professor Bellis what Chairman Rose did back in Galar. The Rose they knew turned himself in after everything was over, but the Rose that's here now doesn't seem to remember that any of that happened, so they're worried that he might try to do the same thing again. However, Leon believes that they share the same desire to create a brighter future for Galar and the world, so he doesn't want to work directly against the chairman. Professor Bellis is doubtful that he'll be able to do anything too extreme; he's only just come to Pasio and therefore won't have access to the facilities he'd need to do his own research, and she's been taking extra good care of her sync stone research data ever since Giovanni came after it. 

Elsewhere, Chairman Rose laments the fact that they're dragging their feet when there's a way to save the future right in front of them, and expresses his desire to provide limitless energy to ensure everlasting prosperity for everyone. He wants to do something as soon as possible, even if people hate him for it. {{mas|Giovanni}}, overhearing Rose's monologue, approaches Rose and offers to share with him a way to extract sync stones' power. Oleana finds him suspicious and advises that Rose not listen to him, but Rose ignores her - he can't be picky about his methods if he's going to protect the future. Rose asks Giovanni how he could gain management over all sync stones, and Giovanni says that he'd need to own Pasio to do that. He also tells Rose to keep their alliance a secret from everyone else.

;Repeated Mistakes
A few days later, Hop, Gloria, and Leon are talking to {{mas|Sawyer}} about using the arena to host a Pokémon battle event with everyone from Galar. Unfortunately, Rose has already applied to use all the arenas on Pasio at that time, so the only place that's still available is the village square.

In the square, {{mas|Piers}} is battling {{mas|Gordie}} while all the other [[Gym Leader]]s from Galar watch, along with Leon, Sonia, Gloria, Hop, and Lear. A group of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are cheering for Piers, and Gordie remarks how passionate they are. Leon says that Rose is trying to compete with them by hosting Pokémon battle events in large venues, and Sonia says that they've lost a lot of their audience to him. Hop says it's suspicious, but Lear says there was nothing suspicious about the applications themselves, so they had no good reason to reject them. 

Meanwhile, Victor has joined one of Rose's events to keep an eye on things. At the event, Rose gives a speech that is broadcast all over Pasio where he says that the attitude that sync stones should only be used for Pokémon battles is incorrect; he has looked at the research on sync stones and is developing technology that can utilize their energy. He presents a variety of his inventions to the spectators, and everyone is impressed. However, Victor knows that it shouldn't be easy to access the research data on sync stones, so he wonders how Rose got his hands on it. {{mas|Colress}}, {{mas|Clemont}}, {{mas|Sophocles}}, {{mas|Molayne}}, and {{mas|Volkner}} are all impressed by Rose's presentation, with Clemont wondering if Rose could help with his inventions. Rose then laments that the potential of sync stones has been ignored in favor of using them as tools to promote Pasio, and he blames Lear for controlling and monopolizing the use of sync stones. He says they need to act as quickly as they can to research how to use sync stones for energy, and to that end, he would like to take over the management of all sync stones.

;Headed for the Same Future!
After the speech is over, Victor approaches Rose and asks him how he got ahold of the data on sync stones. Rose says he received it from his new business partner, though he does not disclose their identity, saying that he doesn't care who he works with for the sake of a prosperous future.

Sync pairs across Pasio react to the speech in different ways. Some think it's ridiculous to think about a problem that might happen a millennium from now, while others - such as {{mas|Professor Sycamore}} - say that it's worth thinking about how to preserve the world for future generations. Some think that it's definitely a good idea, while others are skeptical about having one person managing all of the sync stones. 

Several days later, Victor, Hop, and Gloria are talking with Lear, Sawyer, [[Rachel]], and Professor Bellis about the effect Rose' speech had on the island, with some people taking Rose's words to heart and criticizing Lear for "monopolizing the use of sync stones". Hop says that the island has started to split into opposing factions, with some people supporting Rose and some people supporting Lear. Lear doesn't want to leave it completely alone, for fear that things will get worse, so Leon steps up with Piers, {{mas|Marnie}}, and [[Team Yell]] to fight back. Before Rose can do anything like causing the Darkest Day again, Leon wants to tell him that he doesn't have to change the future alone, because they can do it together. Victor, Gloria, and Hop all agree to help, so Leon says that they're going to start battling each other in order to understand each other and move towards the future they share.
