Pokémon Colosseum/Phenac City

At the first step, you'll see a cutscene where two shady guys are carry a moving bag. They notice you and then comes a battle.

Shady Guy Folly	500
Whismur (lvl. 24)
Whismur (lvl. 25)

They will run away and you will have to open the bag. A girl will be in the bag. She will ask your name, then she will tell you her name. You can change it to anything you want. The girl mentions something about seeing strange Pokémon, and the townspeople tell you to head to the mayor's house. The house is up the stairs and to the left. When you try and enter the mayor's house, a strange guy comes out and mentions something about meeting again, then he leaves.

When you get to the mayor, the girl tells him about the strange Pokémon and he will tell you to go to the Colosseum. You go there, and the receptionist says that the event has been canceled. Head outside, and you'll encounter your friends from Team Snagem; they want the snag machine back, and will take it from you by force.

Team Snagem Wakin	270
Corphish (lvl. 25)
Koffing (lvl. 27)

After the battle, you will need to purchase new Poké Balls. As you learn from the shop, you need to return to Outskirt Stand to get a free pack of five, as well as to purchase additional balls.

On your return, you will learn that some men entered the mayor's house. When you go there, you will battle:

Miror B. Peon Folly	0
Whismur (lvl. 26)
Lotad (lvl. 25)

Miror B.Peon Trudly	800
Duskull (lvl. 25)

Try to capture the Makuhita with your Poké Balls. If you want to weaken it first, you should avoid using Espeon's confuse attack against it. It is better to use Secret Power for moderate damage, or Bite for a light scratch.

After you defeat Trudly, you will be told that your next destination is Pyrite Town. However, when you attempt to leave the city, you will find three strange troops blocking the exits. Once you defeat one (and hopefully Snag their Shadow Pokémon), the other two will leave. You will be able to rebattle the two other troops after you have beaten the game.

Mystery Troop Verde	900
Grimer (lvl. 27)
Spoink

Mystery Troop Russo	900
Grimer (lvl. 27)
Spoink (lvl. 24)

Mystery Troop Bluno	900
Grimer (lvl. 27)
Spoink (lvl. 24)

Optional Battles

There are two other Trainers within Phenac City you can battle. Fun Old Man Drig is located at the front of the town, to the right. Roller Boy Kaib is located behind the upper-right building. After you defeat him, you will receive TM41, Torment.

Pre Gym

The Pre Gym is the first Pokémon training center in the game. It is located in the upper center of the city. Talk to Justy on the right to battle the four below Trainers. Until you get a full party of six Pokémon, you will be unable to battle Justy himself.

Cooltrainer Botan	810
Sunkern (lvl. 27)

After you defeat Lady Gwin, talk to Justy again and he will give you a White Herb. After you defeat Justy himself, talk to him and he will give you TM27, Return.

Also within the Pre Gym, you can speak with the teacher on the left to an upgrade to the PDA: the Strategy Memo function, which records the abilities of all Pokémon in the game, Shadow Pokémon or otherwise.
