With their Shadow Pokémon scheme nearing completion, despite Wes' [[snagging]] of the Shadow Pokémon he had encountered, Cipher builds [[Realgam Tower]] in the middle of the Orre desert, hoping to use its colosseum as a moneymaking venture where spectators could witness brutal battles between Pokémon who were fighting for their lives. With the intervention of Wes, this was prevented, and Nascour was defeated. However, at that moment, [[Es Cade]] arrives, revealing himself to be [[Evice]], Cipher's true leader. He is defeated as well, and attempts to escape with a helicopter to avoid arrest; however, {{p|Ho-Oh}} destroys the helicopter with {{m|Sacred Fire}}, ending Cipher's scheme. | With their Shadow Pokémon scheme nearing completion, despite Wes' [[snagging]] of the Shadow Pokémon he had encountered, Cipher builds [[Realgam Tower]] in the middle of the Orre desert, hoping to use its colosseum as a moneymaking venture where spectators could witness brutal battles between Pokémon who were fighting for their lives.
