Transmit the passwords on Right Arm, Saraha Nut, Tantal Greens, Turbo Ether, and X-Potion to the Tajiri server with Emerald in the GBA slot and you'll be able to perform a special mission in Emerald. You must not have changed the evil teams that roam Hoenn, otherwise you'll need a major password modification to perform this mission, and this data is not optimized for different teams. Also note that this mission is rated E10+ for ages 10 and older and is thus not recommended for young audiences.
Whenever you walk into a town or a Pokémon Center, Cloud will call your Pokénav, and asks that you talk to him and eight others all over Hoenn. You'll have to find nine people, and you have to find them in a certain order to obtain certain key items. Here's where you find them:
Cloud: He's in your rival's bedroom. Talk to him for MATERIA SHARD A.
Tifa: After talking to Cloud, she'll be in the Team Aqua Hideout. Talk to her for MATERIA SHARD B.
Red XIII: After talking to Tifa, he'll be in the Team Magma Hideout. Talk to him for MATERIA SHARD C.
Vincent: After talking to Red XIII, he'll be atop the Sky Pillar. Talk to him for MATERIA SHARD D.
Cait Sith: After talking to Vincent, head for the current Enigma Island. If that Enigma Island isn't Luka's Sea, Cait Sith will be somewhere on it. Talk to him for MATERIA SHARD E.
Barret: After talking to Cait Sith, head for the Cove Lily motel in Lilycove. Talk to him for MATERIA SHARD F.
Yuffie: After talking to Barret, head for the Battle Arena. Talk to her for MATERIA SHARD G.
Cid: After talking to Yuffie, shift the Enigma Island to any one with a sky zone, preferably Tails's Island or Cid Field. Find Cid's airship in the sky zone and board it. Make your way to Cid and talk to him for MATERIA SHARD H.
Once you've talked to Cid, you'll find that the Materia Shards fit together! But one piece is still missing, and Aeris has it. Find Rebecca, the Hex Maniac that Aeris is communicating through, located at the rear of New Mauville, and talk to them. You won't get the last shard right away, though. Instead, you'll head into a flashback that takes place when Aeris was still alive.
In the flashback, you're in control of Aeris herself walking through a remote city. The only menu options available at this point in time are Option and Exit. This remote city has many houses, yet doesn't have a Pokémon Mart or Pokémon Center, oddly enough. Talk to the inhabitants, who will share their information in an E10+-rated fashion. Once you've obtained all the information, a shrine will open up. Have Aeris walk up to it to obtain a Huge Materia. At this point, the flashback ends.
Obviously, the purpose of the flashback was to share what exactly you've been collecting. Aeris's ghost will jump out of Rebecca to go retrieve the last shard. Once you have the last shard, MATERIA SHARD I, the shards will come together to form the HUGE MATERIA. That item will remain in your Key Items pocket; you'll use it and four other relics in DS-transmitted data in a future set.
Transmit the passwords on Bomb Fragment, Chocobo Egg, Hi-Potion, Krakka Greens, Luchille Nut, Lucky 7, Marlene, Murder of Aeris, Speed Drink, Tent, and Three-Disc Set to the Tajiri server, followed by the confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier, in this case CO for Colosseum (with a version using XD for Gale of Darkness to come later). Make sure you're connecting with Colosseum (or XD: Gale of Darkness) via Wi-Fi. You must have completed the mission involving Cloud and either Tifa or Yuffie having to rescue Wes and Rui from Sephiroth in order to do this mission, which means you must have the Trainers' City save on your Memory Card (and, in the case of XD: Gale of Darkness, having transmitted a piece of DS-transmitted data from a future set to enable Trainers' City in XD: Gale of Darkness).
Anyway, you can participate in two new challenges available at the Trainers' Colosseum, each against four characters from Final Fantasy VII. These challenges are saved to the Memory Card, so once the data is successfully transmitted, you can turn off the DS without worry or need for a quick password. Each of the two challenges is named after the leadoff character, Cloud and Cid. Neither challenge is easy, since the average levels of each character in both challenges is 72. Here are the teams each character uses in this knockout challenge:
Cloud's Challenge
Midgar Sword Cloud(M): L71 Snorlax, L71 Noctowl, L72 Ursaring, L72 Ariados, L73 Pidgeot, L73 Porygon2
Midgar Gun Barret(M): L71 Skarmory, L71 Forretress, L72 Magneton, L72 Electabuzz, L73 Volbeat, L73 Illumise
Midgar Fist Tifa(F): L71 Heracross, L71 Hitmontop, L72 Sharpedo, L72 Omastar, L73 Kingdra, L73 Kabutops
Midgar Creature Red XIII(M): L71 Magmar, L71 Altaria, L72 Rapidash, L72 Salamence, L73 Typhlosion, L73 Kingdra
Cid's Challenge
Midgar Pilot Cid(M): L71 Scizor, L71 Gligar, L72 Masquerain, L72 Aerodactyl, L73 Crobat, L73 Charizard
Midgar Feline Cait Sith(M): L71 Kecleon, L71 Pinsir, L72 Exploud, L72 Beedrill, L73 Delcatty, L73 Persian
Midgar Ninja Yuffie(F): L71 Dodrio, L71 Crobat, L72 Absol, L72 Umbreon, L73 Mightyena, L73 Shiftry
Midgar Shooter Vincent(M): L71 Nosepass, L71 Donphan, L72 Whiscash, L72 Rhydon, L73 Golem, L73 Nidoking
Both challenges will yield 50,000 in cash (100,000 with an Amulet Coin). Cloud's challenge offers a TM26 the first time you clear it, while Cid's challenge will offer a TM40 the first time you win.
Transmit the passwords on one of the three Date trainers to the Tajiri server, followed by the password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; RU for Ruby, SA for Sapphire, EM for Emerald. You must not have changed the evil teams that roam Hoenn, otherwise you'll need a major password modification to perform this mission, and this data is not optimized for different teams.
When this is transmitted with Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald in the GBA slot, head for the Lilycove City Museum and find Cloud on the lower floor. He'll ask for a painting of the female character that's on the card you transmitted and will offer a cash bounty for one. Simply put, if you transmitted the password on Cloud and Tifa's Date, the painting Cloud will ask for is one of Tifa.
Problem is, the painting is in the hands of one of the evil teams, Team Magma if you're playing Sapphire or Emerald, or Team Aqua if you're playing Ruby. The team with the painting is located in the other team's hideout (simply put, if Team Magma has the painting, they're in the Team Aqua hideout and vice versa). You'll face 10 Grunts and a Magma Admin before you can get the painting. The positioning of all 11 people is different depending on the female character on the card you transmitted. Here's a listing of their teams:
Sapphire/Emerald Version
Team Magma Grunt(M): L60 Numel
Team Magma Grunt(F): L60 Numel
Team Magma Grunt(M): L60 Poochyena
Team Magma Grunt(F): L60 Poochyena
Team Magma Grunt(M): L58 Camerupt, L58 Crobat, L58 Mightyena
Team Magma Grunt(F): L58 Camerupt, L58 Crobat, L58 Mightyena
Team Magma Grunt(M): L59 Poochyena, L59 Magmar
Team Magma Grunt(F): L59 Poochyena, L59 Magmar
Team Magma Grunt(M): L60 Golbat
Team Magma Grunt(F): L60 Golbat
Magma Admin Courtney(F): L61 Mightyena, L61 Camerupt, L61 Crobat, L61 Magmar, L61 Quagsire
Ruby Version
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L60 Carvanha
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L60 Carvanha
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L60 Poochyena
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L60 Poochyena
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L58 Sharpedo, L58 Crobat, L58 Mightyena
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L58 Sharpedo, L58 Crobat, L58 Mightyena
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L59 Poochyena, L59 Jynx
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L59 Poochyena, L59 Jynx
Team Aqua Grunt(M): L60 Golbat
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L60 Golbat
Aqua Admin Shelly(F): L61 Mightyena, L61 Sharpedo, L61 Crobat, L61 Jynx, L61 Altaria
Once you've beaten Courtney/Shelly, Courtney/Shelly will hand over the painting in question. Hand the painting to Cloud to recieve a 15,000 cash bounty. After a short E10+-rated conversation after that, Cloud will leave. To get him to return to the museum, just transmit one of the three cards again so you can find another painting.
Transmit the passwords on Antidote, Cornucopia, Don Corneo, Echo Screen, Ether, Grenade, Gyshal Greens, Hyper, Maiden's Kiss, Pepio Nut, Phoenix Down, Potion, Remedy, Smoke Bomb, Soft, and Tranquilizer to the Tajiri server, followed by the confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; RU for Ruby, SA for Sapphire, FR for FireRed, LG for LeafGreen, EM for Emerald. If you're playing Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, you must not have changed the evil teams that roam Hoenn, otherwise you'll need a major password modification to perform this mission, and this data is not optimized for different teams. Additionally, if you're playing anything other than Emerald, Anabel's Tower must be the active Enigma Island.
When you load the file, you'll be reading a note that Barret left you. The note says to meet someone at one of the hideouts. In Ruby, you're to meet Cloud at the Magma Hideout; in Sapphire, you're to meet Barret at the Aqua Hideout; in FireRed, you're to meet Cid at the Rocket Warehouse; in LeafGreen, you're to meet Yuffie in the Rocket Warehouse; and in Emerald, you're to meet Tifa at the Magma Hideout. Find the person who Barret asked you to find and you'll be issued a Royale Pass, and you'll be asked to take it to the Multi-Link receptionist at Battle Tower.
Head for Battle Tower in Ruby/Sapphire (you can go directly there since, with Anabel's Tower active, it's now a clone of Emerald's Battle Tower), Battle Frontier in Emerald (you'll find Emerald's Battle Tower there in Emerald), or the Anabel's Tower Enigma Island in FireRed/LeafGreen (that's the only way to access it in FireRed/LeafGreen). Talk to the Multi-Link receptionist and show the Royale Pass. The receptionist will say that "BATTLE ROYALE has finished being adjusted, and we're now--", but before she can finish, everyone except you, the receptionists, and any Apprentice that's standing will run away. At this point, Reno, Rude, and Elena walk in and demand the freshly-adjusted Battle Royale rooms! Pushing their way aside, they'll go up. You'll now have to clear the Turks. Enter the Battle Royale Challenge with 3 Pokémon of any level. You'll have to win 7 battles to clear the Turks out of there.
Battle Royale battles involve 4 people all fighting against each other, and the last man standing is the winner. All moves that hit multiple targets hit at full power at all targets other than the user, whether that was true in double battles or not; moves that only work on double battle partners do not work in Battle Royale. One of your opponents will be standing on your side, while the other two opponents will stand on the other side. While anyone is able to attack you, remember that everyone's facing each other, so you may see someone launch an attack only to find out it's not aimed at you.
Here are the trainers you'll have to fight to truly open the Battle Royale, sorted by each set of 3:
Deep Dweller Ashli(F): L50 Linoone, L50 Torkoal, L50 Gengar
Deep Dweller Harold(M): L50 Primeape, L50 Swalot, L50 Golem
Deep Dweller Nadia(F): L50 Banette, L50 Altaria, L50 Machamp
Deep Dweller Emili(F): L50 Manectric, L50 Glalie, L50 Nidoqueen
Deep Dweller Jana(F): L50 Gligar, L50 Xatu, L50 Raticate
Deep Dweller Larry(M): L50 Pinsir, L50 Sudowoodo, L50 Fearow
Turk Amateur Theo(M): L50 Magneton, L50 Magneton, L50 Electrode
Turk Amateur Nathan(M): L50 Gardevoir, L50 Alakazam, L50 Slowking
Turk Amateur Lindsey(F): L50 Hitmonlee, L50 Hitmonchan, L50 Hitmontop
Cipher Peon Mirakle B.(M): L50 Sudowoodo, L50 Seaking, L50 Electrode
Turk Amateur Marv(M): L50 Jynx, L50 Glalie, L50 Lapras
Turk Amateur Megan(F): L50 Walrein, L50 Delibird, L50 Cloyster
Miror B. Peon Folly: L50 Primeape, L50 Exploud, L50 Slowbro
Miror B. Peon Trudly: L50 Machamp, L50 Dusclops, L50 Pidgeot
Turk Midlevel Melissa(F): L50 Dugtrio, L50 Nidoking, L50 Nidoqueen
Deep Dweller Rikku(F): L50 Victreebel, L50 Raichu, L50 Rapidash
Turk Midlevel Paul(M): L50 Hitmontop, L50 Machamp, L50 Hariyama
Turk Midlevel Paula(F): L50 Heracross, L50 Blaziken, L50 Hitmonchan
Turk Teammate Reno(M): L50 Relicanth, L50 Flygon, L50 Marowak
Turk Teammate Rude(M): L50 Kangaskhan, L50 Electabuzz, L50 Gligar
Turk Teammate Elena(F): L50 Venusaur, L50 Blaziken, L50 Swampert
Once you've beaten Reno, Rude, and Elena, they'll admit defeat (with E10+-rated dialogue) and will relinquish control of the Battle Royale rooms of the Battle Tower.
After beating Reno, Rude, and Elena here, whenever you talk to the receptionist you showed the Royale Pass to, you can select either Multi-Link or Battle Royale battles to fight either level 50 or Open Level. At this point, whenever you enter a Battle Royale room at Battle Tower, you'll fight trainers usually seen at the Battle Frontier.
Also, if you're playing Emerald, you'll find a new plaque in the Ranking Hall's center room. This is the plaque that records Battle Tower Battle Royale streaks.
Finally, if you transmit the password on a character's Energy card to the Tajiri server, followed by the confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; CO for Colosseum, or XD for XD: Gale of Darkness. If using Colosseum, the game must have Trainers' City enabled, but nothing else is required aside from obviously streaming the data to the Gamecube via a Wi-Fi connection.
There will be a new receptionist at the Trainers' Colosseum in Colosseum or Realgam Tower in XD: Gale of Darkness who will guide you to Marathon Battles. A Marathon Battle is a battle where you fight multiple teams of 6 Pokémon each, with all teams on one side belonging to the same person. The number of teams is usually three, but there are a few that will use four, and a few that will use only two. Anyway, to win a Marathon Battle, you have to beat all of your opponent's Pokémon before all of the Pokémon on your teams faint. If all the Pokémon in one person's team faint, that person sends out the first two Pokémon in their next team in line.
After the tutorial, you'll be asked if you wish to take part in the current Marathon Battle, which is against the person whose Energy card you transmitted. If you enter the Marathon Battle, you'll take your current party as your first team, then be asked to select more teams out of your PC Pokémon, up to the number of teams that character is using. Once you've confirmed your teams, the battle will begin. To change the opponent, just use data that changes the Marathon Battle to another character.
These battles are accompanied by long pieces of music, usually songs in their entirety. Also, the average level of a character's first team is 72, and increases by 1 level for each successive team.
Anyway, here are the teams for Marathon Battle:

Just for the record, the fact that the Deoxys Sephiroth has in Marathon Battle is exactly 100 levels lower than the overlevelled one Sephiroth used in an earlier piece of DS-transmitted data is pure coincidence.
Whenever you walk into a town or a Pokémon Center, Cloud will call your Pokénav, and asks that you talk to him and eight others all over Hoenn. You'll have to find nine people, and you have to find them in a certain order to obtain certain key items. Here's where you find them:

Cait Sith: After talking to Vincent, head for the current Enigma Island. If that Enigma Island isn't Luka's Sea, Cait Sith will be somewhere on it. Talk to him for MATERIA SHARD E.
Barret: After talking to Cait Sith, head for the Cove Lily motel in Lilycove. Talk to him for MATERIA SHARD F.
Yuffie: After talking to Barret, head for the Battle Arena. Talk to her for MATERIA SHARD G.
Cid: After talking to Yuffie, shift the Enigma Island to any one with a sky zone, preferably Tails's Island or Cid Field. Find Cid's airship in the sky zone and board it. Make your way to Cid and talk to him for MATERIA SHARD H.
Once you've talked to Cid, you'll find that the Materia Shards fit together! But one piece is still missing, and Aeris has it. Find Rebecca, the Hex Maniac that Aeris is communicating through, located at the rear of New Mauville, and talk to them. You won't get the last shard right away, though. Instead, you'll head into a flashback that takes place when Aeris was still alive.
In the flashback, you're in control of Aeris herself walking through a remote city. The only menu options available at this point in time are Option and Exit. This remote city has many houses, yet doesn't have a Pokémon Mart or Pokémon Center, oddly enough. Talk to the inhabitants, who will share their information in an E10+-rated fashion.

Once you have the last shard, MATERIA SHARD I, the shards will come together to form the HUGE MATERIA. That item will remain in your Key Items pocket; you'll use it and four other relics in DS-transmitted data in a future set.
Transmit the passwords on Bomb Fragment, Chocobo Egg, Hi-Potion, Krakka Greens, Luchille Nut, Lucky 7, Marlene, Murder of Aeris, Speed Drink, Tent, and Three-Disc Set to the Tajiri server, followed by the confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier, in this case CO for Colosseum (with a version using XD for Gale of Darkness to come later).

Anyway, you can participate in two new challenges available at the Trainers' Colosseum, each against four characters from Final Fantasy VII. These challenges are saved to the Memory Card, so once the data is successfully transmitted, you can turn off the DS without worry or need for a quick password. Each of the two challenges is named after the leadoff character, Cloud and Cid. Neither challenge is easy, since the average levels of each character in both challenges is 72. Here are the teams each character uses in this knockout challenge:
Cloud's Challenge
Midgar Sword Cloud(M): L71 Snorlax, L71 Noctowl, L72 Ursaring, L72 Ariados, L73 Pidgeot, L73 Porygon2
Midgar Gun Barret(M): L71 Skarmory, L71 Forretress, L72 Magneton, L72 Electabuzz, L73 Volbeat, L73 Illumise

Midgar Creature Red XIII(M): L71 Magmar, L71 Altaria, L72 Rapidash, L72 Salamence, L73 Typhlosion, L73 Kingdra
Cid's Challenge
Midgar Pilot Cid(M): L71 Scizor, L71 Gligar, L72 Masquerain, L72 Aerodactyl, L73 Crobat, L73 Charizard
Midgar Feline Cait Sith(M): L71 Kecleon, L71 Pinsir, L72 Exploud, L72 Beedrill, L73 Delcatty, L73 Persian
Midgar Ninja Yuffie(F): L71 Dodrio, L71 Crobat, L72 Absol, L72 Umbreon, L73 Mightyena, L73 Shiftry
Midgar Shooter Vincent(M): L71 Nosepass, L71 Donphan, L72 Whiscash, L72 Rhydon, L73 Golem, L73 Nidoking
Both challenges will yield 50,000 in cash (100,000 with an Amulet Coin). Cloud's challenge offers a TM26 the first time you clear it, while Cid's challenge will offer a TM40 the first time you win.
Transmit the passwords on one of the three Date trainers to the Tajiri server, followed by the password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; RU for Ruby, SA for Sapphire, EM for Emerald. You must not have changed the evil teams that roam Hoenn, otherwise you'll need a major password modification to perform this mission, and this data is not optimized for different teams.
When this is transmitted with Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald in the GBA slot, head for the Lilycove City Museum and find Cloud on the lower floor. He'll ask for a painting of the female character that's on the card you transmitted and will offer a cash bounty for one. Simply put, if you transmitted the password on Cloud and Tifa's Date, the painting Cloud will ask for is one of Tifa.
Problem is, the painting is in the hands of one of the evil teams, Team Magma if you're playing Sapphire or Emerald, or Team Aqua if you're playing Ruby. The team with the painting is located in the other team's hideout (simply put, if Team Magma has the painting, they're in the Team Aqua hideout and vice versa). You'll face 10 Grunts and a Magma Admin before you can get the painting. The positioning of all 11 people is different depending on the female character on the card you transmitted. Here's a listing of their teams:
Sapphire/Emerald Version
Team Magma Grunt(M): L60 Numel
Team Magma Grunt(F): L60 Numel
Team Magma Grunt(M): L60 Poochyena
Team Magma Grunt(F): L60 Poochyena

Team Aqua Grunt(M): L60 Golbat
Team Aqua Grunt(F): L60 Golbat
Aqua Admin Shelly(F): L61 Mightyena, L61 Sharpedo, L61 Crobat, L61 Jynx, L61 Altaria
Once you've beaten Courtney/Shelly, Courtney/Shelly will hand over the painting in question. Hand the painting to Cloud to recieve a 15,000 cash bounty. After a short E10+-rated conversation after that, Cloud will leave. To get him to return to the museum, just transmit one of the three cards again so you can find another painting.
Transmit the passwords on Antidote, Cornucopia, Don Corneo, Echo Screen, Ether, Grenade, Gyshal Greens, Hyper, Maiden's Kiss, Pepio Nut, Phoenix Down, Potion, Remedy, Smoke Bomb, Soft, and Tranquilizer to the Tajiri server, followed by the confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; RU for Ruby, SA for Sapphire, FR for FireRed, LG for LeafGreen, EM for Emerald. If you're playing Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, you must not have changed the evil teams that roam Hoenn, otherwise you'll need a major password modification to perform this mission, and this data is not optimized for different teams. Additionally, if you're playing anything other than Emerald, Anabel's Tower must be the active Enigma Island.
When you load the file, you'll be reading a note that Barret left you. The note says to meet someone at one of the hideouts. In Ruby, you're to meet Cloud at the Magma Hideout; in Sapphire, you're to meet Barret at the Aqua Hideout; in FireRed, you're to meet Cid at the Rocket Warehouse; in LeafGreen, you're to meet Yuffie in the Rocket Warehouse; and in Emerald, you're to meet Tifa at the Magma Hideout. Find the person who Barret asked you to find and you'll be issued a Royale Pass, and you'll be asked to take it to the Multi-Link receptionist at Battle Tower.
Head for Battle Tower in Ruby/Sapphire (you can go directly there since, with Anabel's Tower active, it's now a clone of Emerald's Battle Tower), Battle Frontier in Emerald (you'll find Emerald's Battle Tower there in Emerald), or the Anabel's Tower Enigma Island in FireRed/LeafGreen (that's the only way to access it in FireRed/LeafGreen). Talk to the Multi-Link receptionist and show the Royale Pass. The receptionist will say that "BATTLE ROYALE has finished being adjusted, and we're now--", but before she can finish, everyone except you, the receptionists, and any Apprentice that's standing will run away. At this point, Reno, Rude, and Elena walk in and demand the freshly-adjusted Battle Royale rooms! Pushing their way aside, they'll go up. You'll now have to clear the Turks. Enter the Battle Royale Challenge with 3 Pokémon of any level. You'll have to win 7 battles to clear the Turks out of there.
Battle Royale battles involve 4 people all fighting against each other, and the last man standing is the winner. All moves that hit multiple targets hit at full power at all targets other than the user, whether that was true in double battles or not; moves that only work on double battle partners do not work in Battle Royale. One of your opponents will be standing on your side, while the other two opponents will stand on the other side. While anyone is able to attack you, remember that everyone's facing each other, so you may see someone launch an attack only to find out it's not aimed at you.
Here are the trainers you'll have to fight to truly open the Battle Royale, sorted by each set of 3:
Deep Dweller Ashli(F): L50 Linoone, L50 Torkoal, L50 Gengar
Deep Dweller Harold(M): L50 Primeape, L50 Swalot, L50 Golem
Deep Dweller Nadia(F): L50 Banette, L50 Altaria, L50 Machamp
Deep Dweller Emili(F): L50 Manectric, L50 Glalie, L50 Nidoqueen

Miror B. Peon Folly: L50 Primeape, L50 Exploud, L50 Slowbro
Miror B. Peon Trudly: L50 Machamp, L50 Dusclops, L50 Pidgeot
Turk Midlevel Melissa(F): L50 Dugtrio, L50 Nidoking, L50 Nidoqueen
Deep Dweller Rikku(F): L50 Victreebel, L50 Raichu, L50 Rapidash
Turk Midlevel Paul(M): L50 Hitmontop, L50 Machamp, L50 Hariyama
Turk Midlevel Paula(F): L50 Heracross, L50 Blaziken, L50 Hitmonchan
Turk Teammate Reno(M): L50 Relicanth, L50 Flygon, L50 Marowak
Turk Teammate Rude(M): L50 Kangaskhan, L50 Electabuzz, L50 Gligar
Turk Teammate Elena(F): L50 Venusaur, L50 Blaziken, L50 Swampert
Once you've beaten Reno, Rude, and Elena, they'll admit defeat (with E10+-rated dialogue) and will relinquish control of the Battle Royale rooms of the Battle Tower.
After beating Reno, Rude, and Elena here, whenever you talk to the receptionist you showed the Royale Pass to, you can select either Multi-Link or Battle Royale battles to fight either level 50 or Open Level. At this point, whenever you enter a Battle Royale room at Battle Tower, you'll fight trainers usually seen at the Battle Frontier.
Also, if you're playing Emerald, you'll find a new plaque in the Ranking Hall's center room. This is the plaque that records Battle Tower Battle Royale streaks.
Finally, if you transmit the password on a character's Energy card to the Tajiri server, followed by the confirmation password "C4F-4M0-Vxx", where xx denotes a two-letter version identifier; CO for Colosseum, or XD for XD: Gale of Darkness. If using Colosseum, the game must have Trainers' City enabled, but nothing else is required aside from obviously streaming the data to the Gamecube via a Wi-Fi connection.
There will be a new receptionist at the Trainers' Colosseum in Colosseum or Realgam Tower in XD: Gale of Darkness who will guide you to Marathon Battles. A Marathon Battle is a battle where you fight multiple teams of 6 Pokémon each, with all teams on one side belonging to the same person. The number of teams is usually three, but there are a few that will use four, and a few that will use only two. Anyway, to win a Marathon Battle, you have to beat all of your opponent's Pokémon before all of the Pokémon on your teams faint. If all the Pokémon in one person's team faint, that person sends out the first two Pokémon in their next team in line.
After the tutorial, you'll be asked if you wish to take part in the current Marathon Battle, which is against the person whose Energy card you transmitted. If you enter the Marathon Battle, you'll take your current party as your first team, then be asked to select more teams out of your PC Pokémon, up to the number of teams that character is using. Once you've confirmed your teams, the battle will begin. To change the opponent, just use data that changes the Marathon Battle to another character.
These battles are accompanied by long pieces of music, usually songs in their entirety. Also, the average level of a character's first team is 72, and increases by 1 level for each successive team.
