In Frost Cavern, a Trainer's Mamoswine, which the player needs to traverse the snow-blocked Route 17, is upset. Although the player defeats them, the Team Flare Scientists are able to steal many of the Poké Balls, with the exception of the Master Ball. At that point Shauna tricks the Grunt guarding the Poké Ball Factory away so the player and Serena/ Calem can enter.

Once they are defeated, the player can progress to Lumiose City.Īt Laverre City, Team Flare Grunts are blocking the player from entering Route 15 and the Poké Ball Factory until the player has defeated the Laverre Gym and received the Fairy Badge. Inside the building, a Team Flare Admin and Team Flare Scientist Aliana are siphoning electricity from the Power Plant, causing the blackout. A Team Flare Grunt outside the Power Plant drops a Power Plant Pass, which the player uses to enter the building. On Route 13, it is revealed that a problem inside the Kalos Power Plant is responsible for the blackout in Lumiose City, which is preventing the player from accessing the majority of the city, including the Lumiose Gym. This is later revealed to be Team Flare Secret HQ. Once he is followed, there appears to be an entrance to a cavern which has been blocked off. In Geosenge Town, they are seen examining the rock formations there, when a grunt is encountered by the player and tries to flee. The Grunt defeated in Glittering Cave challenges the player to a rematch. They next appear in a scene in Route 10, examining the mysterious rock formation. This occurs without the researcher noticing. They are first encountered in Glittering Cave, where they attempt to steal fossils off the researcher working there, but are stopped by the player and Serena/ Calem. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
