Cipher

'Cipher (Japanese: シャドー Shadow) is an evil syndicate that planned to take over the world. Operating only in the Orre region, Cipher's goal was closer as their Shadow Pokémon scheme neared fruition. Apparently founded by Evice, also known as Mayor Es Cade, Cipher had most of Orre under its control.

Evice is the head of the organization. In order to avoid any suspicion from Phenac City inhabitants, Evice operates through Nascour. Nascour is apparently Cipher's Vice President, and Evice's right hand.

Under the command of Nascour and Evice, Cipher has four Admins that opperate in different parts of Orre: Miror B., Dakim, Venus and Ein. The organization has also a big army of Peons at its service. Skrub, Bluno, Rosso and Verde are just four Peons worthy of mention. As if that wasn't enough, countless criminals all over the Orre region support Cipher.

Cipher opperates actively at Phenac City , Pyrite Town, the Under and finally Realgam Tower - which was constructed to be their ultimate headquarters. The completion of the tower meant that Cipher's scheme had almost reached it's climax.

Cipher also provided Team Snagem with the dreaded Snag Machines. The Snag Machines enabled criminals to steal Pokémon from other trainers. Thus, Team Snagem transformed from a small band of criminals into a serious threat.

In return, Team Snagem agreed to supply Cipher with superior Pokémon snagged from trainers, so that Cipher could use them in their devlish plans.

It's also quite possible that Cipher built the Deep Colosseum, but that's uncertain as of now...

Cipher's plot was stopped by Wes, a former Team Snagem member. Wes defeated Cipher little by little, and alongside Rui, Ho-Oh, and the people of Orre, he brought the sinister organization to an end.
