Okay. It's now time for the e-Reader data. This first but large piece is for an entirely new area called Trainers' City. There will be more e-Reader datd over time.
e-Reader Data, Pokémon A-Versions:
Ruby/Sapphire/FireRed/LeafGreen/Colosseum: The e-Reader data for the Pokémon in this set allows you to catch the species portrayed at L5. Then, Evice or Gonzap (depending on the Trainer on the card) will enter the room and show you the <team>-Chine, where <team> is the Trainer on the card. The Pokémon you just captured will be put through the machine, and that Pokémon will learn one of three moves depending on how many of that team's leader you get on the slots. The first move listed is for zero or one of the leader, the second move is for two, and the third move is for three (i.e. if you got 3 Evices on Nascour's Metagross, Metagross will learn the third move listed; if you got 1 Evice on Evice's Slaking, Slaking will learn the move on the left; if you got 2 Gonzaps on Gonzap's Machamp, Machamp will learn the move in the middle). The moves are underneath the Retreat Cost. Also, all Pokémon going to Miror B., Dakim, Venus, Ein, Nascour, and Evice (Cipher side) hold TM30, and all Pokémon going to Gonzap, Agnol, and Fein (Snagem side) hold TM46. You can only use each team's machine once per day. The data on these cards is native to all the versions, so you can use the e-Card room in R/S, Altering Cave in FR/LG, or a cave in the heights of Agate Village for Colosseum to get all of these. (In Colosseum, these Pokémon are non-Shadow, but Rui will let you catch them anyway.) This data only works for the A versions of the cards.
e-Reader Data, Pokémon B-Versions:
If you scan the 12 inserts from Shining/Crystal/EX Alliance along with Trainers’ Island Resort (from Johto League Masters 3) and every Cipher Admin Pokémon B card using the e-Reader while connected to Pokémon Colosseum, you’ll get an e-mail from Nett informing you about a special place in Orre where Trainers from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and the Orange Islands gather to partake in Pokémon battles and all sorts of activities. Reading this e-mail adds a place called Trainers’ City to the map. Trainers’ City is a hidden area in Pokémon Colosseum that can only be accessed throught e-Reader data. (It will appear on the map once accessed.) Trainers’ City is an amazing place with several kinds of buildings and has a Colosseum of its own in the center of the place. When you battle someone when not in a building, you’ll notice that the battle area looks just like the Free Battle area from Pokémon Stadium 2. There’s a lot to do in Trainers’ City.
However, the first time you head to Trainers’ City, you’ll find out that it’s been taken over by Cipher. Your first mission in Trainers’ City is to send the syndicate packing. You’ll notice that many familiar Pokémon Trainers are engaged in battle against Cipher Peons, Bodybuilders, Hunters, and other Cipher associated Trainers. Examples of this are Misty battling a male Cipher Peon, Brock battling a male Hunter, Erika battling a female Hunter, Lt. Surge battling a female Bodybuilder, Danny battling a female Cipher Peon, as well as several other combinations. You’ll notice in the East, North, and West areas of the place that the same three Mystery Troops that blocked the gates in Phenac City are back again. However, they now each have one of the Kanto Starters’ Evolutions for a Shadow Pokémon (which is indicated in red). Here’s each Troop’s lineup:
CIPHER PEON VERDE (M)

You’ll also find several other Cipher Peons and other Trainers abroad the town. Here’s each of their lineups. ((M) means male and (F) means female.) You’ll notice that you fought the last three Cipher Peons (Arton, Baila, and Dioge), back at Realgam Tower. You’ll also notice that they’ll each have a new Shadow Pokémon (provided you’ve snagged each of their first ones).

There are several areas in Trainers’ City. There’s the DANCE HALL, POKéMON DOJO, POKéMON CIRCUS, POKéMON LAB, GREENHOUSE, TRAINERS’ HOTEL, BATTLE HALL, TM SHOP, POKéMON CENTER, and TRAINERS’ COLOSSEUM. However, there isn’t much to do in those places until Cipher leaves. However, you need to head into four of these places to refight the four Cipher Admins in order to enter the Colosseum.
If you enter the Greenhouse, you’ll see Sonrisa along with her three Sunflora. Talk to her and she’ll tell you that Skrub (the Cipher Peon you fought in Relic Forest with the Hitmontop)(Sonrisa refers to him as a “strange man”) is hiding in the back. If you go up to him, he’ll recognize you and you’ll have to battle him. If you haven’t Snagged Hitmontop from him earlier, you’ll have another chance to do so.
CIPHER PEON SKRUB (M)
L55 Wobbuffet
L56 Huntail
L57 Golem
L58 Medicham/L38 Hitmontop (if you still haven’t snagged it)
If you enter the TM Shop, you’ll notice Folly and Trudly (the Miror B. Peons you met back in Phenac City) near a display of TM’s. If you head up to them, they’ll recognize you and will each challenge you to a battle, Folly first, then Trudly. After fighting them, they will confess to trying to rob the TM Shop of its contents. They’ll let you choose from 1 of 4 TM’s that they tried to steal and are not found anywhere else in Colosseum; TM03 (Water Pulse), TM09 (Bullet Seed), TM34 (Shock Wave), or TM50 (Overheat). Here are Folly and Trudly’s teams:
MIROR B. PEON FOLLY (M)
L55 Ludicolo
L56 Exploud
L57 Slowbro
L58 Primeape
MIROR B. PEON TRUDLY (M)
L55 Ariados
L56 Dusclops
L57 Pidgeot
L58 Machamp/L30 Makuhita (if you still haven’t snagged it)
If you enter the Trainer’s Hotel, you’ll notice Reath and Ferma (the Miror B. Peons you met back in Pyrite Town) in the main room. If you head up to them, they’ll recognize you and will each challenge you to a battle, Reath first, then Ferma. After fighting them, they’ll let you take one of four Evolution Stones that they managed to get and are not found elsewhere in Colosseum; Leaf Stone, Fire Stone, Water Stone, or Thunder Stone. Here are Reath and Ferma’s teams:
MIROR B. PEON REATH (F)
L55 Venomoth
L56 Marowak
L57 Glalie
L58 Pelipper/L20 Remoraid (if you still haven’t snagged it)
MIROR B. PEON FERMA (F)
L55 Parasect
L56 Clefable
L57 Torkoal
L58 Sharpedo/L33 Mantine (if you still haven’t snagged it)
You can enter the Pokémon Center anytime you feel you need to heal your Pokémon and/or save your progress. However, if Cipher is still in Trainers’ City, then there’s a catch to the Pokémon Center. Every time you head inside, a random Cipher Peon will drop down from the ceiling and attack you. The Cipher Peon is different each time you enter the Center (just like in the Team Snagem Hideout). This also an opportunity to Snag his or her Shadow Pokémon if he or she still has one. After defeating the Peon, you’ll be able to heal and save.
Anyway, in the Dance Hall, Pokémon Dojo, Pokémon Circus, and Pokémon Lab, you’ll have to re-fight each of the Cipher Admins again. They have different Pokémon this time and as an added bonus, each one has a new Shadow Pokémon (highlighted in red) for you to Snag. However, if you’ve already snagged that Pokémon from one of them, then that crime boss will have one regular Pokémon in its place (at the bottom of the boss’s team list, highlighted in green).
About the moves that each Shadow Pokémon relearns over time, I’ve color coded them to indicate when that Pokémon regains that move. Here’s the color code:
<Green> Regained 1st
<Blue> Regained 2nd
<Teal> Regained 3rd
<Turquoise> Regained when Purified
When you enter the Dance Hall, head towards the stage and you’ll find Floreia confronting Miror B., who has Floreia’s two Ludicolo in cages. If you head up to them, you’ll hear Floreia say this, “What are you doing with my Pokémon?!” Miror B. will then reply, “Now, now you attractive hula girl. I think these two Pokémon will be better off with me.” You’ll then watch Floreia battle (using Cloyster and Lanturn), but lose to Miror B. (using Ludicolo and Ludicolo). After Floreia loses to him, Miror B. will notice you and it’ll be your turn to face him.

If you head up to them, you’ll hear Shingo say this, “Let Blade and Heracross go!” Dakim will then reply, “Yeah right! These two will make excellent Shadow Pokémon!” You’ll then watch Shingo battle (using Machoke), but lose to Dakim (using Nidoking). After Shingo loses to him, Dakim will notice you and it’ll be your turn to face him.

If you head up to them, you’ll hear Trixie say this, “I’m not letting you take Azumarill and Golduck!” Venus will then reply, “You think you can defeat Lady Venus? Well let’s see you try.” You’ll then watch Trixie battle (using Pidgeotto), but lose to Venus (using Cloyster). After Trixie loses to her, Venus will notice you and it’ll be your turn to face her.

When you enter the Pokémon Lab, head towards the back and you’ll find Professor Oak and Professor Elm confronting Ein, who’s threatening to steal all of Oak’s and Elm’s research. If you head up to them, you’ll hear Oak say this, “Whoever you are, our research will never be used for such a thing as Shadow Pokémon!” Ein will then reply, “Do you think you two scientists can defeat me?!” You’ll then watch Oak and Elm battle (using Charmeleon and Corsola), but lose to Ein (using Blastoise and Lanturn). After Oak and Elm lose to him, Ein will notice you and it’ll be your turn to face him.

Once you’ve defeated all four Cipher Admins and have received their Id Badges, you’ll be able to head towards the Trainers’ Colosseum in the middle of Trainers’ City and unlock the door leading inside. Inside the first room, there is a Pokémon Healing Station and a PC. Heal your Pokémon and save your game there. After doing so, head through the double doors and you’ll enter the Colosseum. After entering, you’ll hear Nascour say to you “Welcome back, (your name). I’m so glad you could make it. Let’s see how you handle an endurance round.” You then have to fight four Cipher Peons, each using a different Pokémon type. Here are the Peons and their Pokémon:
CIPHER PEON JOLTEIA (F)
L55 Magneton
L56 Electabuzz
L57 Manectric
L58 Ampharos
CIPHER PEON RIVERIO (M)
L55 Crawdaunt
L56 Dewgong
L57 Quagsire
L58 Poliwrath
CIPHER PEON NELLA (F)
L55 Magmar
L56 Magcargo
L57 Ninetales
L58 Camerupt
CIPHER PEON STON (M)
L55 Victreebel
L56 Cradily
L57 Parasect
L58 Sceptile
After defeating the Cipher Peons, you’ll see Nascour come onto the field. You now have to fight him… again. His team is even tougher than before. Also, if you haven’t snagged Metagross from him the first time you fought him, you have another chance to do so. If you have, then he’ll use a powerful Alakazam instead.
Nascour
L50 Metagross – Psychic, Hyper Beam, Metal Claw, Iron Defense
L60 Gardevior – Psychic, Thunderbolt, Dream Eater, Hypnosis
L60 Gengar – Shadow Ball, Psychic, Sludge Bomb, Confuse Ray
L60 Ampharos – Thunderbolt, Iron Tail, Body Slam, Thunder Wave
L60 Walrein – Ice Beam, Strength, Waterfall, Attract
L60 Venusaur – Razor Leaf, Sludge Bomb, Earthquake, Leech Seed
-----
L60 Alakazam – Psychic, Fire Punch, Thunderpunch, Reflect
Once you defeated Nascour, you’ll then notice Es Cade (whose other idenity we now know). He’ll say, “Well, (your name), you come to Trainers’ City, have you? Well I should give you a formal welcome.” He’ll then flip over to become Evice and say to you, “You ruined our plans the first time, but I’m not going to let you ruin them again! I’ll personally make sure of that!” You have to battle him. If you still haven’t snagged Tyranitar from him, now’s your chance. However, be prepared for his powerful team. Here it is:
Evice
L55 Tyranitar – Crunch, Thunder, Blizzard, Rock Slide
L65 Salamence – Dragon Claw, Brick Break, Flamethrower, Double-Edge
L65 Slaking – Crush Claw, Earthquake, Shadow Ball, Aerial Ace
L65 Steelix – Iron Tail, Rock Slide, Earthquake, Explosion
L65 Exeggutor – Psychic, Giga Drain, Thief, Skill Swap
L65 Arcanine – Flamethrower, Aerial Ace, Extremespeed, Crunch
-----
L65 Aggron – Iron Tail, Double-Edge, Earthquake, Thunderbolt
Once Evice falls, you’ll see a scene where Professor Oak, Professor Elm, Professor Birch, and Professor Ivy come onto the Coloseeum, along with Chief Sherles and Duking. The scene here is quite similar to the one after defeating Evice at Realgam Tower, with Evice prepared to make his escape via helicopter. This time, though, as his helicopter comes downward, a powerful beam of air will strike the copter, downing it. With no means of escape, Nascour and Evice give up once again. We then notice that the blast came from Lugia, who’s hovering over the Colosseum. Eagun then explains that like Ho-oh, Lugia wouldn’t allow something such as Shadow Pokémon to be created. It’s basically similar to the first ending after defeating Evice at Realgam Tower. Then the credits roll like they do after defeating Nascour and Evice.
After being asked to save your game and reappearing in the Outskirt Stand, you’ll get an E-mail from Nett saying that there’s some more trouble back at the Shadow Pokémon Lab. If you head there and make your way to the room where you fought Ein, you’ll fight each of the Cipher Peons that you’ve fought there before, and they’ll each have a new Shadow Pokémon (at L43). (Their other Pokémon are the same ones they used before.) Here’s each Peon’s Shadow Pokémon:
CIPHER PEON LESAR: Weepinbell
CIPHER PEON TANIE: Fearow
CIPHER PEON REMIL: Marowak
CIPHER PEON VANA: Venomoth
CIPHER PEON COLE: Persian
CIPHER PEON LARE: Haunter
