Now, get ready and charge at Cyrus! But do you think you can really stop him by rushing forward? Of course not— {{tc|Commander}}s [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] will stop you. 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,

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. This walkthrough will follow the list above.

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 absorbs your Pokemon's health to heal itself, is out of your expectation and counters {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. 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.
