Dialga in Hia Valley!?

File:Batonnage dialga.PNG
Dialga in Almia Castle

Dialga has disrupted the flow of time, sending the player and Wendy back in time to before the player's family has moved to Chicole Village. Apparently, the injured Dialga used Roar of Time on the player and Wendy to protect itself. Dialga is found in the Almia Castle, right by the Riolu statues. This is where Wendy and the player must go in order to capture it so that they could treat it and go back to their own time. However, Dialga will use Roar of Time once again if the capture takes too long (about 60 seconds), sending the player back to Chicole Village. After the capture, Professor Hastings would claim that the player took 10 seconds to capture Dialga.

Palkia in Haruba Desert!?

File:Batonnage palkia.PNG
Palkia in Hippowdon Temple

Palkia's presence starts to distort the fabric of space in Almia. This causes the Pokémon to appear in places they usually don't and other odd things, such as fishermen fishing by sand and lava. This also causes people to go to a different place when they enter things such as doors. The player will have to capture Palkia in the basement of Hippowdon Temple so that it could be treated and the distortions could be fixed. Sven and Henry join the player during this mission.

For the Bride and Shaymin!

File:Rangernetshaymin.png
Shaymin hidden in the flowers

Erma and Professor Hastings receive an invitation on behalf of the player. It turns out that Ollie and Elaine are getting married! The player, Hastings, and the other rangers come and celebrate, but Team Dim Sun Remnants show up, trying to steal the bride's bouquet. It turns out the bouquet is none other than a Shaymin. Team Dim Sun wants to get it in order to sell the rare Pokémon for a huge amount of money to buy new weapons for the team.

Shaymin flees, and the player is assigned to return Shaymin, whose tendency is to hide with flowers. To make things more difficult, there are flowers all over the town shaped like Shaymin! The player, Hastings, and the other rangers leave the couple behind. They are not the only ones looking, though, as Team Dim Sun also wants to find it. During the first encounter of the scared Shaymin, the player will have to capture an Absol and Umbreon. On the second encounter, the player will have to capture a Roserade and two Bellossom. After that, Team Dim Sun manages to corner Shaymin on the bridge, who, out of anger, attacks them. The player then has to capture it to calm it down. After that everyone returns to the wedding, Shaymin will shower the place with flowers as a sign of gratitude and disappear.

Trivia

  • When the player plays through two extra missions in Shadows of Almia, Dialga In Hia Valley and Palkia in Haruba Desert, lots of new areas open up inside Almia Castle and Hippowdon Temple. These areas are not normally found in normal gameplay.
  • Also, as stated by the designers, the player cannot save inside the extra missions in Shadows of Almia. Therefore, all exits capable of getting out of Haruba Desert or Almia Castle are all blocked. The Save Machines read: "It says 'Undergoing Adjustments' on the screen".
