|---|---|
| 1 |  Head to the Rust Syndicate headquarters. You can fast travel to Bleu Plaza nearby to get there quickly. Once you arrive at the entrance, you will be stopped by Rust Syndicate Grunts and you will have to battle one of them. Grunt's Pokemon: Lv.44 Garbodor Lv.44 Lairon The Grunt's Pokemon consists of both Garbodor and Lairon who are both easy to deal with but if you want to make it easier, use Ground-type moves as both Pokemon are weak to this type. After the battle, you will meet Philippe, one of the members of the top brass in the syndicate who will challenge you to a battle. The following Side Missions will be unlocked at the start of the mission: 057 - The Camerupt Entrepreneur 058 - Better to Detect Than to Protect 059 - A Rematch with Hawlucha! 060 - Full Course of Battles: Two Star |
| 2 |  Philippe's Pokemon: Lv.46 Steelix Lv.46 Scizor Lv.47 Mega Skarmory As Philippe uses Steel-type Pokemon, have your Pokemon use Fire-type moves so you can have an easier time defeating his Pokemon. Note: You can heal your Pokemon during the match using Potions, so make sure to switch out your main attacker with another Pokemon if you need to heal them! |
| 3 |  After the battle, follow Philippe inside the headquarters. Talk to him inside and you will meet Corbeau, the boss of Rust Syndicate. He offers to lower Taunie's interest if you do some errands for him. You have no choice but to accept the offer. |
| 4 |  Once you finish the scene, go back to Hotel Z and tell the others about what happened in the syndicate headquarters. You will need to defeat another 3 Pokemon who are gonna Rogue Mega Evolve in this next section. Each of these three Megas will have its own Main Mission, which you can complete in any order before Main Mission 20 progresses. ►A Rogue Mega Mawile ►A Rogue Mega Barbaracle ►A Rogue Mega Ampharos |
| 5 |  Go back to Hotel Z and discuss with your teammates about your next plan. Corbeau will call you about troublemakers holed up in an old building in Bleu District. Go to the old building Corbeau mentioned. |
| 6 |  Once at the front of the building, you will meet the requester who wants the troublemakers inside gone. The troublemakers are actually Pokemon such as Gengar and Gastly. Defeat all of them and then talk to the requester. |
| 7 |  Corbeau will meet you inside the building, making sure you handled the job properly. The next task you'll do is to help one of Corbeau's people who is located in the riverbank near the Electrical Substation where you need to tidy up undesirable elements. |
| 8 |  Fast travel to Magenta Pokemon Center as it is near your objective. Meet up with the Young Lady on the objective and she will tell you to follow her into the sewers. |
| 9 |  Once inside the sewers, the lady grunt will explain that you need to destroy Mega Crystals inside the sewers. Destroy 27 of them and then report back to the grunt. |
| 10 |  Exit the sewer and you will meet Corbeau again. He will ask you regarding who L is and if you're calming Rogue Mega Pokemon. He will then tell you to go to the battle court near Centrico Plaza to deal with troublemakers. |
| 11 |  Fast travel to Centrico Pokemon Center and go to the battle court where you'll meet trainers from Lumiose Society of Battle Connoisseurs bothering children. Battle both Francois and Vivica which should not be that difficult. Francois' Pokemon: Lv.47 Gabite Lv.47 Sliggoo Use any Fairy or Ice-type moves to quickly eliminate the Dragon-type enemy team. Vivica's Pokemon: Lv.48 Aromatisse Lv.48 Slurpuff As the enemy consists of Fairy-types, use Steel or Poison-type moves to quickly defeat them. |
| 12 |  Corbeau will arrive again which will make the Lumiose Society members to run. After a short conversation, you will hear a commotion from a nearby bank. |
| 13 |  Follow Corbeau to the bank where you will team up with him to fight the representative of Lumiose Safety Group. Lumiose Safety Group Representative Pokemon: Lv.48 Pinsir Lv.48 Onix Lv.49 Glalie The final battle of this mission isn't that difficult, as Pinsir and Glalie are weak to Fire-type moves while Onix is weak to Fighting or Ground-type moves. Use type advantage to quickly defeat the representative. |
| 14 |  Finish the dialogue after the battle and go back to Hotel Z. You will discuss what happened with your teammates. After the discussion, Corbeau will call you again asking for you to go the syndicate headquarters again. |
| 15 |  Fast travel to Bleu Plaza and go to the headquarters. Talk to Philippe inside who will lead you to Corbeau. This will complete the mission. |
