Now, get ready and charge at Cyrus! But do you think you can really stop him by rushing forward? Of course not— {{tc|Commander | Now, get ready and charge at Cyrus!

Mars says she will take you on first, and Jupiter says that she will be the next. However, just when you really think that you need to take them on one by one, your [[rival]] [[Barry]] (or whatever you call him) bursts in and stands between you and either Mars or Jupiter, saying, | ||

Barry will always send out {{p|Munchlax}} at first. It is not really too helpful, but it can use {{m|Screech}} to make the Defense stat of 1 of opposing Pokémon plummets. This may sometimes help you. It can also follow up with {{m|Body Slam}}. The combo of Screech and Body Slam deals more damage than you'll expect. | Barry will always send out {{p|Munchlax}} at first.

It seems that their two Bronzor focus on annoying you more than attacking you. After they are unable to battle, Mars and Jupiter will send in their remaining Pokémon depending on the situation.

Both of them also have {{p|Golbat}} in their team. Both Golbat know {{m|Air Cutter}}, which has a higher-than-average chance to land a critical hit. One knows {{m|Poison Fang}}, which may inflict bad poison, {{m|Bite}}, a {{type|Dark}} move that may cause flinching and will do quite a bit of damage to {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, and {{m|Confuse Ray}}, while the other knows {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which may inflict poison, {{m|Mean Look}}, which prevent you from switching out your Pokémon, and {{m|Giga Drain}}, which | Both of them also have {{p|Golbat}} in their team.

Use {{type|Rock}}, {{type|Psychic}}, or {{type|Electric}} moves to take them out. | ||
Next comes their strongest Pokémon— Mars' Level 45 {{p|Purugly}} and Jupiter's Level 46 {{p|Skuntank}}. Each of these two Pokémon have only one weakness— {{type|Fighting}} and Ground-type moves respectively. Be careful if you are using {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon or other Pokémon that are immune to {{type|Normal}} or {{type|Poison}} (meaning {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon)— Purugly has {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}}, while Skuntank has Flamethrower. Purugly also knows {{m|Slash}}, which also has a higher critical-hit ratio, and {{m|Hypnosis}}, which makes your Pokémon fall asleep. Skuntank has {{m|Poison Jab}}, a powerful move that may inflict poison, {{m|Night Slash}} (again, has a higher chance to land a critical hit) and {{m|SmokeScreen}}, which reduces the your Pokémon's Accuracy. | Next comes their strongest Pokémon— Mars' Level 45 {{p|Purugly}} and Jupiter's Level 46 {{p|Skuntank}}.

He swears again, this time swearing that he will capture those 3 again and craft another Red Chain! He also says: | ||

Jupiter is not lying and Cyrus is not joking either. '''Cyrus' team is far stronger than what you will expect.''' His Pokémon have all evolved into their final forms and gained 5 to 6 levels. Moreover, he also added one more Pokémon. His team is almost totally offensive— be very careful and do not underestimate anything he sends out. All of his four Pokémon still have the same common weaknesses-- Rock-type moves, but since they are much stronger, even a strong Rock-type move like Rock Slide cannot wipe out his whole team. | Jupiter is not lying and Cyrus is not joking either.

His first Pokémon is {{p|Honchkrow}}, which evolved from his {{p|Murkrow}}. It possesses {{m|Dark Pulse}} (a move that may cause flinching), {{m|Embargo}} (you know, prevents you from using items), {{m|Drill Peck}} and {{m|Steel Wing}} (to cover its Rock-type and {{type|Ice}} weaknesses), and may also raise its Defense. {{type|Electric}} moves are your best bet. | His first Pokémon is {{p|Honchkrow}}, which evolved from his {{p|Murkrow}}.

Crobat is very fast, probably outspeeding all of your Pokémon! It has {{m|Cross Poison}} (has high critical hit ratio and may inflict poison), {{m|Air Slash}}, Confuse Ray and Bite. Not too different from the Golbat you just faced, except that Crobat is much speedier, has more power and its Cross Poison can hit far harder. | ||
His new Pokémon is a {{p|Gyarados}}. It seems that you'll need to go with Electric-type attacks (you should know that Electric-type attacks are its bane and deal significant damage on it) or Rock-type attacks, but it possesses {{m|Aqua Tail}}, as well as {{m|Earthquake}}, which may take your Electric-type Pokémon out by surprise! It also possesses {{m|Ice Fang}}, which may freeze your Pokémon or make them flinch, and {{m|Giga Impact}}, which hits extremely hard! Although this counterpart of {{m|Hyper Beam}} forces Gyarados to waste a turn to recharge, Gyarados' high Attack stat makes this move very dreadful. | His new Pokémon is a {{p|Gyarados}}.

This Gyarados is absolutely different from the Gyarados you faced before. | ||
His strongest Pokémon {{p|Sneasel}} has evolved into {{p|Weavile}} and is now at ''Lv.48''. That's right, '''Level 48'''— stronger by one level than the legendary Pokémon you'll face very soon! Weavile has high Attack and extremely high Speed, making it very dangerous. If your Pokémon is slower than Crobat, don't think about outspeeding Weavile. Moreover, it is no longer fragile like when it was a Sneasel. It has Night Slash, {{m|Ice Punch}}, which may freeze your Pokémon, {{m|Brick Break}} (so don't try Rock-type or Steel-type moves against Weavile), and {{m|X-Scissor}}, a powerful {{type|Bug}} move. Its major weaknesses are Fighting-type moves, but even hitting back with your own Brick Break may not knock it out, so don't even think that {{m|Mach Punch}} or {{m|Rock Smash}} can deal serious damage. Stronger moves like {{m|Close Combat}} are your best choices. | His strongest Pokémon {{p|Sneasel}} has evolved into {{p|Weavile}} and is now at ''Lv.48''.

If you successfully forced Cyrus to send out his last Pokémon, he will admit that you have pushed him to his extreme. He also says that losing is not possible for him. He may use a [[Super Potion]] on his Pokémon when they have only half or less HP left (i.e. HP bar is in yellow), and if they are in danger (HP bar is in red), he will use a [[Full Restore]], especially if it is his last Pokémon, so watch out and use the most powerful moves you've got! | If you successfully forced Cyrus to send out his last Pokémon, he will admit that you have pushed him to his extreme.

After beating Cyrus, he says, ''"I won't admit this! The power spoken of in mythology... I didn't just make it obey me, I made it my own!"'' He then adds, ''"What is truly ultimate to you? What do you consider perfection? The most important thing... What shines the brightest... Telling you is meaningless. But I will not give up. I will become a deity one day...
