Not too long after Cheren and Accel return to Unova and Touya returns from Hoenn, Mewtwo shows up at the P2 Laboratory, which is still active. They still have the containers for the Genesect when they were creating them and it triggers bad memories for Mewtwo. So, he blows it up and flees for the mainland.

Touya first catches a glimps of Mewtwo over Striaton City. When he realizes what it is, he calls Red and Green while on his way to catch up with Cheren about the Genesect Army.

Mewtwo travels around, from cave to cave, finding people or pokemon there when he just wants to be alone. Eventually, he ends up in Chargestone Cave and encounters a group of metal pokemon. One of them is a shiny red. Using his psychic abilities, he reads into them and tries to emphaize with them since they were both human made but the red leader rejects him and attacks. The rest of the genesect follow suit, and Mewtwo fights them off until he can get away from them.

Cheren is too late when he shows up at Chagestone Cave after getting the signal from Sird’s device and hearing reports from bystanders, but along the way, he picks up Shaymin and tells Hikari he has her.

Touya finally encounters the genesect army near Lostlorn forest. After yet another misunderstanding, they try to fight him off, then flee. Touya tries to get a hold of Cheren, but because Shaymin is freaking out to Hikari about what it’s like going through the rings, Cheren misses Touya’s texts and calls.

Turns out, the army did not flee too far. Mewtwo is annoyed, so he starts fighting back the next time they clash - which is in Black City. The same Black City Madame Boss currently resides in.

Touya is the first person on the scene and confirms with Red and Green where to meet him. Cheren also arrives after giving Shaymin to Hikari. The whole scene is a complete mess, with citizens fleeing in the wake of the fighting pokemon. It only gets worse when Madame Boss officially enters the fray.

The kids split up: Red and Green try to break up the now one-on-one match between Mewtwo and the Red Genesect, while Cheren and Touya are trying to keep Madame Boss from capturing the other Genesect. Accel is let out of his pokeball to try and protect them and calm them down.

Madame Boss also has her grunts, which makes the situation “A Complete Bother”. But Red and green take down the ones who are after the Red Genesect, and Touya and Cheren are able to take down the other grunts with no problem.

The Red Genesect still is able to control the minds of the other genesect to the point of having them attack all humans. Even while fighting Mewtwo (who the Red Genesect thinks is on the side of the humans), he has a vague hold on them.

Touya gives an inspirational talk to try and snap the genesect out of it, and it almost works, but it isn’t enough. What helps them snap out of it is when they see Accel protect Cheren and Touya from an attack. The Red Genesect asks Accel why would he protect these humans, and Accel explains that it’s because they’re his friends. It causes the Red Genesect to release its hold on the other members, having them regan their own free will to do what they want.

Madame Boss almost uses this as a chance to catch one of the Genesect Army members, but Accel’s hyperdrive mode is activated from reaching such a low HP level. They defeat Madame Boss.

The officers in the city manage to arrive and arrest her, but she doesn’t leave quietly. The whole time, she tries to guilt trip them for beating her.

After the news of Entei mysteriously showing up in Hoenn, Cheren is on the alert for the genesect. Considering that the Genesect Army Ghetsis created when missing quite some time ago, he’s been pressed to find them now more than ever. After years of working with Sird, they’ve worked on trying to track all the known genesect. Cheren recruits Touya for help, but gets a call about Reshiram and sends him to deal with that instead. 

Among the projects Sird has been working on with him is a new drive for the Genesect. After installing it into his own Genesect, Accel, Cheren is about to try it on the training island just off of Castelia city when a hoop appears out of nowhere and takes Accel to Kanto. Upset, Cheren promptly contacts Sird. Turns out, she already knows because the tracking system is finally working. They plan not only to find Cheren’s Genesect, but to capture the Genesect army now that they have also shown up on radar.

Rumors of a strange foreign pokemon circulate in Kanto. With the descriptions, Madame Boss immediately recognizes it as the Geneset. She sends Rocket Grunts to Scout its location, and they stumble on Red and Green when they encounter Accel at Mt. Moon. Hoopa shows up and takes Accel to Stark Mountain through one of its rings. 

They call Cheren, and it does Not go well. Angry about the whole situation, he snaps at them unintentially, but Red eventually calms him down. Cheren still goes to see Sird in Vermillion City to go over plans. 

Acce; wanders around Stark Mountain for a few days before running into Buck. Confused, Buck contacts Flint, who contacts Hikari, who was already headed to Sinnoh to talk to Cyrus. Hikari goes to Stark Mountain, but has a difficult time finding Accel, who has flown to Celestic after finding its way out.

Rumors of the same strange pokemon from Kanto appear in Sinnoh. Madame Boss contacts Charon, asking him to retrieve the Genesect for her, and Charon sends Galactic grunts to Celestic.

Hikari overhears of the plans and manages to arrive when the grunts are trying to capture Accel. She battles the grunts easily and rescues Accel, who is relieved to finally see a familiar face after days of being frightened and pursued. She returns him to her apartment in Jubilife and conveniently ignors all calls from Charon.

Cheren and Sird arrive as soon as they can - about a day after Hikari contacts them. Just as they are reunited with Hikari and Accel, Charon shows up with the purpose of “persuading” Hikari to give the Genesect to him.

Sird and Charon almost battle until Cheren steps in and formally challenges Charon. If Charon wins, he can have Accel. If he wins, Charon will have to leave all of the Genesect alone. They battle in a secluded area: Accel vs. Rotom. Cheren wins, and Charon backs down - for now.
