NOTE: It's recommended you use a DS Lite or a high brightness setting on the TV when playing any mission on an episode 7 stage.

Mission 1: "Make the S rank!"
Unlocked: From start
Character: Choice
Upgrades Applied: Chaos Drives
On Radio: Lance; Cloud (only if playing as Lance)
Mission: Get enough points in this stage to attain at least an S rank.
Detail: In this mission, your goal is to make it through the regular mission while scoring enough points to attain a high rank. In this mission, you get points for defeating enemies and also for completing objectives. Points are displayed where you'd normally find the clock in a timed objective. At the end of the stage, the points you got during the mission, as well as bonus points based on time taken and remaining health, are added up and you'll be given your ranking. If that ranking is at least S, you clear the mission.
Challenge Mode: You're given the Jenny Mode time limit of 10:00 to complete the mission. Use the Select button to switch the time display with the points display and vice versa.

Mission 2: "Free Mew from the shadows!"
Unlocked: Clear Mission 1
Character: Cheryl
Upgrades Applied: Chaos Drives
On Radio: Cloud
Mission: Free Mew from the Shadow Generators.
Detail: Mew is being held captive by shadow energy being generated by six select Shadow Generators. You need to destroy those six Shadow Generators in order to let Mew loose. However, there are a total of 18 Shadow Generators present during this mission. There's no penalty for destroying the wrong Shadow Generator. Once you've destroyed the right six Shadow Generators, Mew will fly away from the scene and then you've cleared the mission.
Challenge Mode: Destroying a wrong Shadow Generator now gets you a strike. Three strikes and you fail.

Mission 3: "Defeat 50 Cipher guards!"
Unlocked: Clear Mission 1 with silver-star rank, Clear Mission 2
Character: Fantina
Upgrades Applied: Chaos Drives
On Radio: Cynthia
Mission: Defeat 50 Team Cipher guards.
Detail: In this mission, your goal is to defeat all 50 Team Cipher guards that appear in this stage for this mission. If you manage to defeat them all before reaching Mystic Cave, you clear the mission. You'll have to try again if you reach Mystic Cave.
Challenge Mode: The guards increase in strength to be similar to the Mystic Cave guards.

Mission 4: "A spider walker's running loose in the valley! I don't care how, take it down!"
Unlocked: Clear Mission 1 with gold-star rank, Clear Mission 3
Character: Norman
Upgrades Applied: Materia
On Radio: Steven
Mission: Destroy the Metagross Spider Walker.
Detail: For this mission, your goal is to defeat just one enemy. That enemy, however, is a Metagross Spider Walker that is a very tough foe to take down, especially with Normal-types. The spider walker can appear anywhere in the valley, hence the entire stage is considered the boss battlefield. The stage itself has been retooled for this mission, it looks like a tornado hit it. It will take quite awhile to take it down because of its excellent defenses, but once you've turned it into scrap metal, you've cleared the mission.
Challenge Mode: A time limit of 7:30 is now in place.

Special Mission: "Take on Cipher, Marquis of Queensbury style!"
Unlocked: From start
Game Pak: Pokémon Trozei (DS)
Character: Bruno, Wearing Inhibit Belt
Upgrades Applied: Chaos Drives
On Radio: Gary
Mission: Defeat the Team Cipher guards, admin Lovrina, and admin Snattle without using L or R button actions.
Detail: For this battle, your goal is to defeat every Team Cipher member here, both the guards and the two admins here. However, there's one catch: You are not to use a Pokémon action. Press L to use Mach Punch, you fail. Press R to use Rock Slide, you fail. That leaves you with the basic punch attack as your only means of offense. The peons also play by the same rules--none of them wield weapons. Even Lovrina and Snattle are reduced to one single melee strike in their attack arsenal! Lovrina will only attempt to damage you with the copter crush attack and Snattle will use a similar attack. If you can manage to defeat every enemy with just your punch, you've cleared the mission.
Challenge Mode: A time limit of 12:00 is in place.

Unlocked: Clear Mission 1
Character: Brandon
Upgrades Applied: Chaos Drives

Detail: Jirachi is being held captive by shadow energy being generated by eight select Shadow Generators. You need to destroy those eight Shadow Generators in order to let Jirachi loose. However, there are a total of 24 Shadow Generators present during this mission. There's no penalty for destroying the wrong Shadow Generator. Once you've taken out the right eight Shadow Generators, Jirachi will fly away from the scene and you've cleared the mission. One more thing--you don't have to deal with Miror B. in this mission.

Mission 4: "Kind of fitting to find Dusk Stones in a place like this..."
Unlocked: Clear Mission 1 with gold-star rank, Clear Mission 3
Character: Candice
Upgrades Applied: Materia
On Radio: Cynthia
Mission: Recover all 50 Dusk Stones.
Detail: For this mission, you're going to have to find Dusk Stones strewn about this dark environment. You don't have to worry about either Miror B. or Shadow Generators in this mission, so you may not need the light-giving enemies. Of course, some of the walls that are normally safe aren't in this mission. They still come in handy, though, since the cave's not exactly bright even without the Shadow Generators. There are 50 Dusk Stones placed around the cave. Once you've found them all, you've cleared the mission.
Challenge Mode: A time limit of 9:00 is in place.

Special Mission: "Oh, no, my father's prized birds!"
Unlocked: From start
Game Pak: Pokémon Trozei (DS)
Character: Falkner
Upgrades Applied: Materia
On Radio: Lance
Mission: Find Dodrio and Pidgeot. L and R button actions are disabled.
Detail: Falkner is in a bind. Both his Dodrio and his Pidgeot have gone missing in this dark cave, and it's your job to find them using punches as your only means of attack. You've also got Team Cipher to contend with as well, but you don't have to actually beat anybody. Once you've found one of the Pokémon, walk up to claim it. Once you've rescued both Dodrio and Pidgeot, you've cleared the mission.
Challenge Mode: A time limit of 7:00 is in place.

Mission 4: "The reporters need light to storm the place! Turn on all of the lights before the reporters leave!"
Unlocked: Clear Mission 1 with gold-star rank, Clear Mission 3
Character: Lt. Surge
Upgrades Applied: Chaos Drives
On Radio: Gary
Mission: Turn on every light in the stage. Time limit is 10:00.
Detail: In this stage, your goal is to find every single lightswitch in the place and turn on the lights. Problem is, the reporters you're trying to attract will leave within 10 minutes if you don't get the lights on. Cipher Peons will appear to try to hinder your progress, but they're not mandatory to fight. This mission also retools the path through the facility, where the clear-shot and dead-end statuses of the two main paths are switched around. There are 14 lightswitches in the facility, and you have to flip every single one of them on with the action button. If time runs out, the reporters will leave and you fail. Only by turning on all of the lights will you succeed in your mission.
Challenge Mode: There are now 21 lightswitches.

Special Mission: "It's a fight against the Cipher of old! But why a symbol of the new Cipher as the battleground?"
Unlocked: From start
Game Pak: Pokémon Trozei (DS)
Character: Clair
Upgrades Applied: Materia
On Radio: Lance
Mission: Defeat Miror B., Dakim, Venus, Ein, Nascour, and Evice.
Detail: For this mission, there are six enemies you must defeat. They are, in the order you face them: Miror B., Dakim, Venus, Ein, Nascour, and Evice. Miror B. is fought within what are normally the Cipher checkpoints found outside the pyramid. Dakim is fought as soon as you enter the pyramid. Venus is fought where you'd normally face Ardos. Ein is faced between the Ardos and Eldes battlegrounds. Nascour is fought where you'd normally face Eldes. Finally, Evice is where you'd normally fight Greevil. None of these fights are rather easy, and you have only one try as usual to take down all six foes. If you can defeat them all, you clear the mission.
Challenge Mode: The Chaos Drive upgrades are applied, and a time limit of 15:00 is in place.
