A Request from the Rust Syndicate Walkthrough | Pokemon Legends Z-A

It’s come to light that Taunie/Urbain has gotten deep into debt with the Rust Syndicate. Team MZ needs to fix this disaster—the sooner, the better!

The next day after your promotion to Rank D, there will be no sight of Urbain/Taunie and Lida at the Hotel Z lobby. This puts Naveen in a good mood and he gives you a pair of Performance Sneakers.

[1] Head to the Rust Syndicate Headquarters.

・Uh oh! Urbain/Taunie has gotten into trouble with the Rust Syndicate. They borrowed money from this group, putting your team in debt!

・A representative from the Rust Syndicate will call you, requesting that you drop by their office at the Bleu District.

Lumiose News Alert: The number of Wild Zones (14 and 15) has increased! Check them out for some new Pokémon.

・Meet Lida at the Rust Syndicate Office. You'll be challenged by a Rust Syndicate Grunt who has two Pokémon:

Garbodor (Lv. 44)
Lairon (Lv. 44)

[2] Battle Philippe of the Rust Syndicate.

・You'll need to fight another member of this organization. Heal your party and return here to challenge Philippe of the Rust Syndicate and his team:

Steelix (Lv. 46)
Scizor (Lv. 46)
Mega Skarmory (Lv. 47)

[2] Have a calm, rational discussion at the Rust Syndicate Headquarters.

・Follow Philippe inside the office. He will lead you to their boss, Corbeau.

・To settle the issue of Urbain/Taunie's loan, accept their proposal to complete a few jobs that will benefit the city.

[3] Return to Hotel Z to tell the others about what happened with the Rust Syndicate.

Lumiose News Alert: The selection of Mega Stones at Quasartico Inc. has expanded! Check the Mega Shard Exchange Shop for the new stock.

・Go back to the hotel and inform Naveen about what happened.

[4] Begin another Team MZ strategy meeting.

・Talk to Lida when you're ready to start the meeting.

・Urbain/Taunie arrives, but your conversation is quickly interrupted by a call from Vinnie. The problem with the Rust Syndicate will have to wait, because there are more Rogue Pokémon sightings!

[5] Take care of all three cases of Rogue Mega Evolution.

A Rogue Mega Mawile in Magenta Sector 6.
A Rogue Mega Barbaracle in Sector 5 of the Bleu District.
A Rogue Mega Ampharos in Sector 6 of the Rouge District.

[6] Return to Hotel Z.

・Once the three Rogue Pokémon have calmed down, head back to the hotel. You'll immediately receive a call from Corbeau; there is no time to rest yet!

[7] Take care of the "Troublemakers" holed up in the Shady Old Building.

・The Old Building is found in the Bleu District. Two men will be waiting for you at the entrance.

[8] Clear all the Pokémon out of the Rundown Old Building and report back to the Requester.

・Battle Gastly and Gengar inside the building. After that, talk to the Requester.

・Corbeau will arrive and tell you the details of your next job.

[9] Tidy up "Undesirable Elements" that have accumulated in the City's Shadowy Corners.

・Go to the Saison Canal in Magenta Street and talk to the Young Lady by The Sewers entrance.

・Follow her inside the Lumiose Sewers.

[10] Smash all the Mega Crystals underground, then report back to the Rust Syndicate Grunt.

・You need to smash at least 27 Mega Crystals, but the good news is you get to keep the Mega Shards!

・Talk to the Lady when you're done. Corbeau will be waiting for you again outside.

[11] Clear up the trouble with the "Outsiders" the Rust Syndicate wants you to deal with.

・There's another set of outsiders that the Rust Syndicate needs you to clean up. Make your way to the battlecourt near Centrico Plaza. To get there easier, fast travel to the Centrico Pokémon Center.

[12] Battle the Trainers from the Lumiose Society of Battle Connoisseurs.

・Face François of the SBC first. Here is the list of Pokémon on his team:

Gabite (Lv. 47)
Sliggo (Lv. 47)

・Vivica of the SBC will challenge you next. This is her party:

Aromatisse (Lv. 47)
Slurpuff (Lv. 48)

[13] Go with Corbeau to check out the commotion in front of the Bank.

・Follow Corbeau to check what's happening. You'll see Urbain/Taunie and Jett, the CEO of Quasartico Inc., talking to citizens who are expressing concerns about the rumors about the Wild Zones.

・Alongside Corbeau, you will battle the Representative of the Lumiose Safety Group and his Pokémon:

Pinsir (Lv. 48)
Onix (Lv. 48)
Glalie (Lv. 49)

[14] Return to Hotel Z.

・Head back to the hotel and inform the rest of Team MZ members on what has happened so far.

[15] Go to meet Corbeau at the Rust Syndicate Headquarters.

・Travel to the Rust Syndicate Office again after getting a call from Corbeau.

・Talk to Philippe by the entrance. He'll lead you upstairs.

・Good news! Corbeau has finally decided that you're done doing jobs for their organization. This marks the end for this Main Mission.
