'''Ein''' (Japanese: '''ボルグ''' ''Borg'') is one of the original four {{tc|Cipher Admin}}s. A cruel and callous young scientist, he is long on ambition and short on emotion. He is obsessed with the idea of creating an insanely powerful Pokémon at any cost which he managed to do with amazing results.


Ein is the brains behind the process that creates [[Shadow Pokémon]]. His research, the "Ein Files", have been littered across [[Orre]] wherever members of [[Team Snagem]] or Cipher trekked. He created Shadow Pokémon in a secluded lab in the middle of a desert, and shipped the Pokémon to [[Venus]] and [[Miror B.]] via [[the Under Subway]].
In battle, Ein prefers to use {{m|Rain Dance}}, then {{m|Thunder}}. He protects his {{type|Water}} Pokémon from Electric-type moves by always having a Pokémon with Lightningrod out on the field. He also likes using {{m|Toxic}}, then using {{m|Protect}} regularly to dodge attacks while the poison damage increases each turn.


Ein did everything in his power to keep the Shadow Pokémon he created from being purified. He tried to have [[Rui]] kidnapped, the [[Relic Stone]] destroyed, and the [[Time Flute]] stolen. Ultimately, he failed at all of his objectives.

Ein is the brains behind the process that creates [[Shadow Pokémon]]. His research, the "[[List of Key Items in the Orre region|Ein Files]]", have are found across [[Orre]] wherever members of Cipher have been present. He creates Shadow Pokémon in a secluded lab in the middle of a desert, and then has the Pokémon shipped to [[Venus]] and [[Miror B.]] via [[The Under Subway]]. He also does everything in his power to keep the Shadow Pokémon he creates from being [[Purification|purified]].

[[File:Ein.png|thumb|left|Ein in Pokémon Colosseum]]Wes and Rui broke into the [[Shadow Pokémon Laboratory]] and confronted Ein. Even though Ein had a Shadow {{p|Raikou}} to defend him, he was unable to stand up to Wes. Ein took solace in that he had already created the ultimate Shadow Pokémon, a Shadow {{p|Tyranitar}}, and had it transported to [[Nascour]] and [[Evice]]. He then made his escape in an elevator.
Eventually the player confronts Ein at the [[Cipher Lab|Shadow PKMN Lab]]. Despite him possessing a Shadow version of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Raikou}}, Ein is still defeated. Even in defeat, Ein takes solace in that he has already created {{p|Tyranitar|the ultimate Shadow Pokémon}}, and had it transported to [[Evice|his boss]].


Ein made another appearance at [[Realgam Tower]]. The mad scientist had one of the keys to the tower's main entrance. Wes prevailed over the madman once again, and Ein was forced to hand over the Yellow ID Card and flee.
Ein appears again at the [[Realgam Tower]]. The mad scientist had one of the ID Badges to the tower's main entrance. After being defeated again, Ein hands over the {{key|Orre|Ylw ID Badge}} and promptly leaves the tower.

After Evice was defeated, Ein continued to make appearances as a challenger in the [[Deep Colosseum]].

ボルグ Borg
{{{size}}}
Ein
Gender Male
Hometown Unknown
Region Orre
Trainer class Cipher Admin
Generation III
Games Pokémon Colosseum
Member of Cipher
Rank Admin

Ein (Japanese: ボルグ Borg) is one of the original four Cipher Admins. A cruel and callous young scientist, he is long on ambition and short on emotion. He is obsessed with the idea of creating an insanely powerful Pokémon at any cost which he managed to do with amazing results.

In battle, Ein prefers to use Rain Dance, then Thunder. He protects his Water-type Pokémon from Electric-type moves by always having a Pokémon with Lightningrod out on the field. He also likes using Toxic, then using Protect regularly to dodge attacks while the poison damage increases each turn.

In the games

Ein is the brains behind the process that creates Shadow Pokémon. His research, the "Ein Files", have are found across Orre wherever members of Cipher have been present. He creates Shadow Pokémon in a secluded lab in the middle of a desert, and then has the Pokémon shipped to Venus and Miror B. via The Under Subway. He also does everything in his power to keep the Shadow Pokémon he creates from being purified. He tries to have Rui kidnapped, the Relic Stone destroyed, and the Time Flute stolen. Ultimately all these plans are foiled by the player.

Eventually the player confronts Ein at the Shadow PKMN Lab. Despite him possessing a Shadow version of the Legendary Pokémon Raikou, Ein is still defeated. Even in defeat, Ein takes solace in that he has already created the ultimate Shadow Pokémon, and had it transported to his boss.

Ein appears again at the Realgam Tower. The mad scientist had one of the ID Badges to the tower's main entrance. After being defeated again, Ein hands over the Ylw ID Badge and promptly leaves the tower.

After Cipher has been defeated, Ein appears as an opponent at the Deep Colosseum.
