Appendix:Pokémon XD walkthrough/Section 2

Cipher Lab

Immediately upon entry to the Cipher Lab, you'll find the car that the gang took Professor Krane in. That probably means Professor Krane is here. Also immediately, six Cipher Peons in different colors appear. You only have to face one of them, but I'd recommend facing all six to raise your levels and catch all their Shadow Pokémon.

Pokémon HQ Lab

The Purify Chamber has been completed. After getting a walkthrough on it, purify any ready Pokémon.

Your mother asks you to check on a guy named Datan upstairs. You know, the guy that's sitting at the computer. But he's not there. He's actually outside. Talk to him, Professor Krane will appear, and he'll tell you to send the Data ROM to Pyrite Town. Now you're on your way to Pyrite Town!
