Story Event - New Year and New Friends
- Pokémon Center
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Volkner | We're prepared for our first battle of the year! |
| Volkner | Happy New Year, <player>! Let's let the sparks fly in battle this year! |
| Sabrina | Being busy at the start of the year is fine, but spending that time quietly is also nice. It allows you to calm your mind and think about your resolutions for the upcoming year. |
| Volkner | Yeah, that's great, too! I guess everyone has their own way of celebrating. |
- A Thrilling New Years
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Volkner | My Electivire demands tough opponents. We got some good training in right as the new year began, huh? Guess we should get some rest. Gotta be ready for tomorrow's battles! |
| Lass | Eeeek! |
| Rising Star | L-lightning?! |
| Volkner | Hm... That came from where we were just training, didn't it. Lightning striking at the start of a new year? Seems like a good omen to me! It's as if the skies are celebrating with us! My gut's telling me this year is gonna be electrifying! |
- Sabrina's Premonition
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Sabrina | Happy New Year!: Oh, <player>. Hey, Sabrina!: Oh, I know that voice. <player>, right? Happy New Year. Let's both have a good one. |
| Pokémon Ranger | Um, Sabrina? |
| Ace Trainer | If you don't mind, could we take a picture with you? |
| Sabrina | Sure. I don't mind. I wore this outfit today as a way to start fresh in the new year. But as you just saw, people keep approaching me, one after another. 'Cause it's pretty!: Thank you... This is a nice outfit, isn't it. 'Cause your outfit matches you perfectly!: Thank you... It's a little embarrassing when you say it like that. I like to spend the start of a new year in peace and quiet... Thus, I was hoping to find a quiet spot to calm my mind. |
| ??? | Aw, MAN! Why are you guys so strong?! You're on fire! You totally got us! |
| Sabrina | What's all this commotion, now? |
| Flint | ... ... ... ... ... ... Whew... Burnt right down to cinders... |
| Lear | That's the match! The winning sync pair is Volkner and Electivire! |
| Preschooler | Wow! Didja see those sparks? |
| Collector | What a great battle to see at the start of a new year! I'm thoroughly satisfied! |
| Lear | I'm glad you enjoyed the battle, but don't get too comfortable yet! The main event is yet to come! We're calling it the New Year's Battle Tournament, and I'm pleased to announce that it's about to start! This tournament will consist of two-on-two battles! The team that keeps the longest winning streak going will be declared the winners! |
| Sabrina | The New Year's Battle Tournament... ... ... ... I see... So I'll be partnering with him. How can you tell?: I had a premonition. It's bound to happen. Did you see the future?: Yes, exactly. And it will most likely become our reality. I also foresaw something else... A premonition that something dangerous is about to happen. At this rate, I suppose it'll be difficult to spend my time in peace and quiet after all. But I also sense something about my partnering up with that man... Teaming up with him is necessary to stop the danger that is about to happen. I can't tell exactly what that danger will be, though. |
- Pair Up and Battle!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Volkner | Are you ready for some battles? My partner Pokémon, Electivire, is a force of nature to be reckoned with. Actually...don't get me started. I'll tell you another time. |
| Sabrina | So it ended up as I foresaw... |
| Volkner | What does that mean? |
| Sabrina | Oh, it's nothing. Thank you for teaming up with me. My partner Pokémon is Chingling. It's cute but also very reliable. |
| Viola | Oh, wow! New outfits and partner Pokémon for the New Year's Battle Tournament! Fantastic! Just fantastic! If I get some great shots of you in battle, we could use them to promote Pasio! So go on and show me your best, you two! |
| Sabrina | Of course. If I'm participating in this tournament, I intend to win. |
| Volkner | Yeah, that's the spirit! Let's get going, then! |
| ??? | We've been waiting for you! |
| Lance | Let's start the battle! |
| Volkner | So a Champion is participating in this tournament, too? I guess it'll be a challenge, then! This is going to be our first battle of the tournament. Let's sync up and snag ourselves a win! |
| Sabrina | Yes. I'm sure we'll get used to battling together, little by little. Also...it'd be a shame to lose while wearing such festive outfits. |
| Lance | Are you ready? Here we go! |
| Volkner | They sure are tough! Looks like they've had a few battles together to work on their teamwork! |
| Sabrina | How many wins do you have so far? |
| Lance | Five! And we plan to add one more with this battle! |
| Lillie | Yeah! Sorry, but we're gonna win! |
| Volkner | Don't think you'll take us out that easily! We're just getting warmed up! |
| Lance | We were so close! But we let victory slip right through our fingers... That was an excellent battle. Thank you! |
| Sabrina | It seems our opponents may have been a bit worn out from their previous matches. |
| Volkner | Yeah. If we'd taken one more hit, we probably would've lost. Your support really helped me out! It was like you could tell beforehand what I was going to do. Is that your precognition at work? |
| Sabrina | Yes, it is. You're usually a quiet person, but when you start to enjoy yourself in battle, you get very passionate. That's why I tried to make sure I battled in a way that would help foster that passion. |
| Volkner | You sure know your stuff! Let's keep battling and start a winning streak, shall we? |
| Sabrina | Sure. Let's aim for a cleaner win next time. |
and steadily increased their winning streak. | |
| Volkner | We're doing a great job of keeping our winning streak going! I can't wait to see what other combinations we can pull off with your precognition! We might just be a good team after all! |
| Sabrina | That may be so. |
| Flint | Hey, you two! Come battle us next! |
| Barry | Yeah! We'll show you our awesome teamwork! |
| Volkner | So you joined the tournament, too? |
| Flint | Of course! It's the perfect opportunity to challenge you to a rematch! Let us see how hot your spirit burns! |
| Volkner | Don't let your guard down, Sabrina. This team is gonna be hard to beat! |
| Sabrina | I have no intention of letting up. We will put our all into this battle. |
| Barry | What just happened?! We lost?! |
| Flint | ... ... ... ... ... ... Whew... We lost again... |
| Volkner | Hahaha! Sorry about that, you two! It's our win! Looks like we're starting off this year on the right foot! |
- The Root Cause
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Volkner | So these two are our next opponents. I feel like I've seen that masked Trainer somewhere before... |
| The Masked Royal | Hey hey, what're you doing, getting pensive when a battle's about to start? You can't beat us if your mind's on other things! |
| Volkner | Oh...I guess you're right. Now's not the time to be thinking about anything other than battling! |
| Brycen | ... ... ... Hm... |
| The Masked Royal | Let’s get ready to rumble! I heard your team uses some interesting tactics, so I've been looking forward to this! |
| Brycen | Show us the strength you've forged by winning your matches up till now! |
| The Masked Royal | Amazing! Such power! |
| Volkner | Look who's talking! You're shockingly strong! That said, we're the ones who're gonna win here! |
| Sabrina | There's no way we'll lose! |
| Brycen | Extreme conditions really test you and train you! Let's see who comes out on top! |
| Lear | Hold the battle! |
| Volkner | What's the matter? Things were just getting good. |
| Lear | The system that generates Pasio's energy just short-circuited! Certain parts of the island are experiencing power outages. |
| Volkner | The generator shorted? That's not good... |
| Lear | You didn't have a hand in this, did you? |
| Volkner | C'mon, don’t look at me like that! I was just battling, so there's no way I could've done anything. |
| Lear | I suppose you're right. But if it wasn't you, why did this happen? |
| Volkner | Could that be the source of our problem? Why don't we postpone this battle for now? We should probably resolve any issues with that generator first, if it's broken. |
| Brycen | Yes, agreed. |
| The Masked Royal | Yeah, I got you. I'll go check if there have been any accidents because of the power outages! |
| Volkner | I'm planning on checking out the area where we saw that bright flash of light just now. Want to come with? |
| Sabrina | Of course. We are a team, after all. |
| Volkner | Thanks! Then let's head out! |
| Volkner | Oh, these Pokémon... I see. Their electrical discharge must be why the power generator shorted! |
| Sabrina | What should we do? |
| Volkner | Let's work together and try to calm those Pokémon down. Raichu are usually gentle, but they turn aggressive if they have too much electricity in their bodies. I'm sure those Magnemite are also being affected by Raichu, too. We can have a Pokémon battle to make them discharge all that electricity! |
| Sabrina | That makes sense. I suppose you'd know best, being an Electric-type Gym Leader. |
| Volkner | Let's show them our teamwork that we built up during the New Year's Battle Tournament! |
| Sabrina | Yes, let's! |
- Calming Clamor
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Sabrina | Phew... Still not done yet? |
| Volkner | We got them to discharge a lot of energy by battling them... But it looks like they're still a bit on edge. Maybe it's because we cornered them. This might take a while... |
| Sabrina | Understood. Let me help. |
| Volkner | Watch out! It's dangerous to get too close! |
| Sabrina | It's OK. There's nothing to be afraid of. |
| Volkner | What was that? |
| Sabrina | If we've gotten them to discharge most of their energy, all we have to do is calm them down. Whenever I hear Chingling's bell, it soothes my soul... So I figured it would work here, too. |
| Volkner | Oh, that makes sense. You had me worried for a second! Now all that's left is to return these Pokémon to their Trainers. |
| Sabrina | Thank you, Chingling. You did well. I think this was the dangerous event I foresaw. I'm glad we were able to put an end to that. |
| ??? | I see you’ve taken care of things here! |
| Sabrina | Professor Kukui! |
| Kukui | My buddy, the Masked Royal, told me everything, so I came here as fast as I could! |
| Lear | The Trainers of those Pokémon will be here soon. |
| Kukui | Hmm... The Pokémon seem to have calmed down. Looks like their heart rates are back to normal, too. I imagine the lightning that struck last night was the reason they were so worked up. The air around them was charged with electricity, and they probably took in too much of it. My guess is when they tried to discharge it, it caused the power generator to short-circuit. Also... That Electivire of yours might have played a part in all this, too. |
| Volkner | Electivire? |
| Kukui | It seems some lightning clouds formed in the sky right where you two were training. Electivire’s electrical energy output is one of the best of all Electric-type Pokémon. Wild as it may sound, he may have changed the weather. |
| Volkner | Well, that's Electivire for you! I guess that happens sometimes! |
| Lear | So you were the cause of this after all! Whatever! You already solved the problem. Now, we just have to repair the power-generating system! |
| Volkner | It'll probably take some time to repair that, right? |
| Lear | Yes, and it's bound to be troublesome. |
| Volkner | Since we may have played a part in causing all of this, how about we help you fix it? |
| Lear | You just want to tinker with the machines, don't you! |
| Volkner | Haha! You saw right through me! I've been curious about how Pasio's power system was set up! |
| Sabrina | Goodness. |
| Volkner | I know we've solved the first problem... But I really am still concerned about that power generator... |
| Sabrina | You're still going on about that? |
| Lear | OK, already! If you're that intent on working on it, I'll think about it! |
| Kukui | Really?! |
| Kukui | Hahaha! Now that's dedication! |
| Lillie | Volkner! Sabrina! Is everything all right? |
| Barry | I heard you fought a massive bolt of lightning! |
| Volkner | Oh, that's just an exaggeration. Who told you that? |
| Kukui | No worries, everyone! The cause of the commotion was just a Raichu and some Magnemite. But these two sync pairs solved the problem, no sweat! |
| Flint | Awesome, you two! |
| Brycen | Yes. You showed great skill. |
| Volkner | I can't say I'm proud that we caused problems for everyone, but... We did make a pretty good team, didn't we? |
| Sabrina | Yes, it wasn't bad at all. I'm actually not a huge fan of battling...but I had a lot of fun today. |
| Lance | I think you two might even be the winning team for the New Year's Battle Tournament! |
| Viola | Didn't you have a pretty big winning streak? |
| Lear | Well? Do you remember how many battles you won? |
| Volkner | Uh... I stopped counting partway through. And with all that commotion about the power going out, I completely forgot about it! I don't remember the details, but I think it's fine as long as we all had fun! |
| Viola | Hm... Oh well. It's still fantastic! Just fantastic! |
| Sabrina | *sigh* |
| Lear | Well... As long as everyone had fun, this tournament has been a huge success! |
| Sabrina | I suppose it'll be difficult to have a quiet start to the new year. But somehow, all of this clamor is surprisingly calming my spirit. I think we'll all have a great year. |
| Viola | OK, everyone. Gather around! |
| Sabrina | I hope we all have a wonderful new year. |
| Volkner | I'm sure we will! There are a lot of sync pairs here that remind me how fun it is to battle! As long as we're here on Pasio, it's bound to be an exciting year! |
| Sabrina | Yes. Even without seeing into the future, I know that's true. |
Story Event - Sweet Shenanigans
- Pokémon Center
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Bea | All over town, that sweet, sweet aroma... |
| Bea | My heart is full just from being surrounded by the scent of baked goods... |
| Marnie | She's practically melting... I hope my presents make everyone just as happy as you look right now! |
- Our First Palentine's
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Bea | So this Palentine's Day on Pasio... It's an event for showing thanks to others by giving them sweets, I hear. |
| Marnie | Yup. That's what I've heard. It sounds like some people also give presents to a person they fancy, too. I hear if you walk around town this time of year, you can see a lot of couples givin' each other gifts. |
| Bea | What a lovely event. The only problem is, it's difficult to focus on my training when the smell of baked goods is in the air. |
| Marnie | Come to think of it, didn't Dawn and Serena mention that they've made something for Palentine's Day before? I wanna learn from them how to make some homemade chocolates! Wanna come with me? We can make them together! |
| Bea | Chocolates? Oh, I couldn't... I-I've got training to do... Ack! <player>! Were you listening to us just now? |
| Marnie | This is a secret, OK?! Especially from my big bro and Gloria! If you keep it a secret, maybe I'll make some for you, too! |
- We Are Team Heartbreak!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| ??? | Arrrgh! |
| Masked Man | There's couples everywhere! We can't just sit by and watch this! C'mon! Somebody's gotta take a stand and fix this nonsense... |
| Camper | Ack! Hey! That guy just stole my present! |
| Ace Trainer (1) | Aw, thanks! I'm sure I'll love it—Wait... This has somebody else's name on it. |
| Ace Trainer (2) | Huh? That's not the present I made for you! How'd it get swapped?! |
| Masked Woman | Tee-hee-hee! Mission accomplished. |
| Marnie | I really gave this chocolate-makin' thing my best shot and made 'em extra sweet... I sure hope they like it. |
| ??? | Hah! Thanks for the chocolate, sucker! |
| Marnie | Wha—?! |
| Masked Man | We're the Champions of Justice—out to save the world from this twisted trash tradition you call Palentine's Day! We are...Team Heartbreak! You'll see! We're going to wreck Palentine's Day for everyone! |
| Marnie | Hey! Where do you weirdos think you're going with those?! |
| Marnie | I thought I saw them run this way... |
| Piers | Hey, Sis. I've been lookin' for ya. |
| Marnie | Oh! Hey! |
| Gloria | <player> said he/she saw you earlier, so we all came to find you! |
| Piers | I wanted to sing you a song for Palentine’s Day. |
| Marnie | Aw, that sounds amazing! It's just—I'm a little tied up at the moment! You haven't seen any weirdos around here calling themselves Team Heartbreak, have you? They stole the presents I made! Then they prattled on about how they're out to wreck Palentine's Day or somethin'! I put a lot of love into those presents... |
| Piers | ... ... ... So that's what happened. Don't worry, Sis. No need to be sad. 'Cause your big bro's gonna find those punks and teach 'em a lesson! |
| Marnie | Really? You'll help me out? |
| Piers | Course I will. You lot don't mind coming along, do you? |
| Gloria | No, not at all! |
| Piers | Let's split up and find 'em. Gloria and I'll go this way. |
| Marnie | OK. <player>, I'll be with you, then. There's no way I'm lettin' those jerks keep my Palentine's Day presents! |
| Bea | Oh. You two seem a bit flustered. Is everything all right? |
| Marnie | Um... Actually, some chocolate— |
| Bea | Chocolate?! Who said anything about me sneaking out to eat chocolate? |
| Marnie | Huh? No, I was just saying someone's stolen the chocolate I made... |
| Bea | O-oh, I see... Hang on—someone stole your chocolate?! |
| Marnie | Yeah... Hear me out, will ya? |
| Bea | How completely unacceptable! You worked so hard to make that chocolate, and they've gone and stolen it?! Unbelievable! I want to help you find them! |
| Marnie | Thanks, Bea! |
| Bea | I'll have to hold off on finding my own dessert until this is resolved... |
| Marnie | Hm? Did you say something, Bea? |
| Bea | Oh, it's nothing! Don't mind me! Let's go catch Team Heartbreak and give them a good scolding! |
- A Beautiful Soul
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Marnie | Where did Team Heartbreak go... |
| Bea | Hey, look over there. |
| Masked Man | Oh wow... Still as beautiful as ever. |
| Bea | Halt right there! |
| Marnie | You're planning on stealing presents from those two, aren't ya! |
| Masked Man | H-huh? Wait, I've got no idea what you're talking about, honest! |
| Marnie | You're not a member of Team Heartbreak, then? |
| Masked Man | What? Wh-who's that? I may be in Team Break... but I don't know nothing about Team Heartbreak! I swear! |
| Bea | The fact that you're in Team Break makes you rather suspicious. |
| Marnie | Yeah. Why were you watching that sync pair, anyway? |
| Masked Man | I was trying to figure out the best way to express my thanks to them... Y'see, they helped me out before, when I was injured. |
| Bea | They didn't run off at the sight of your Team Break mask? |
| Masked Man | Well, I wasn't wearing it when they saw me. My mask broke when I got hurt. I was a nasty mess, but they carried me all the way back into town. It was such a beautiful gesture, y'know? I mean, I was completely awestruck! |
| Marnie | Well, I guess that makes sense since they were so kind to you... |
| Bea | I don't know, I feel like any decent person would have done the same. |
| Masked Man | Are you kidding me? She's the most angelic creature I've ever seen! |
| Marnie | Sure... |
| Masked Man | Look at the way her mane flutters in the wind! |
| Marnie | Um... |
| Masked Man | And those soft, red flames glowing with warmth and kindness! |
| Marnie | Uh...hang on. So when you said you were awestruck, you meant... |
| Masked Man | Ponyta, of course! I mean, who wouldn't be over the moon after an angel like that practically saves your life! |
| Bea | Huh. I... OK. Well. That certainly wasn't what I was expecting to hear, but I suppose Palentine's Day IS all about showing thanks to those you care about. |
| Marnie | True. It sounds like it was a pretty life-changing moment for you. I get why you'd want to give them a proper thank-you! But you need to stop worrying about it so much! Just march over there and tell them how ya feel. |
| Masked Man | What if they get scared of me 'cause I'm in Team Break... |
| Marnie | Forget about Team Break for a minute, all right? Just go over there and be yourself! |
| Bea | I agree. I think you should take off that mask, walk up to them, and let them know how thankful you are. |
| Masked Man | But...I'm in Team Break! I can't just betray my comrades like that! I do want to thank them, though... Ohhhh, what do I do? |
| Marnie | Once you're ready to say something to them, come see me, all right? I'll lend you a hand. But if you get up to any trouble with Team Break, I won't be so nice. Come on. Let's go. |
| Masked Man | What do I doooo... |
- Show of Gratitude
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Marnie | No traces of 'em whatsoever, huh... |
| Piers | Where would they even hide? |
| Gloria | Why don't we try a different approach? Maybe instead of looking for them, we can get them to come to us! Here, I've got an idea... |
| Beauty | What? A Palentine's Day battle featuring Leon and Diantha?! |
| Pokémon Ranger | Yeah! After the battle, they're even doing a meet-and-greet with their fans! |
| Beauty | Oh, I have to be there! I'd love to give Diantha a present! |
| Masked Man | A Palentine's Day battle? No, I can't be thinking about that! I still have to decide what to do! |
| Beauty | OK. I'll see you later, then! ... ... ...?! Team Break?! |
| Masked Man | Oh no! |
| Beauty | C'mon, Ponyta! Let's chase him away! Huh? What's wrong? |
| Masked Man | Eeep! |
| Beauty | Weird. Why do I get the feeling that I've seen that guy before? |
| Masked Man | They saw me! But I got away somehow... But that look in Ponyta's eyes... Did she...recognize me? And because of that, she let me go? Even though she knew this time that I'm in Team Break? Why did I spend so much time worrying?! |
| Swimmer | I HAVE to tell them how thankful I am! |
| Bea | The time to battle has come! |
| Marnie | I've been wonderin'... Why'd you partner up with Vanilluxe? |
| Bea | It's...to train myself to resist temptation. I met Vanilluxe when I was training on a snowy mountain. I've been training myself to resist craving sweets, even when faced with such a yummy-looking Pokémon. |
| Marnie | Could it be that you've got a bit of a sweet too— |
| ??? | Hey there! |
| Bea | His mask is gone!/It's that guy from Team Break!: You've finally made it. |
| Marnie | So you've decided what you're gonna do? |
| Swimmer | Yeah... I have to be honest about my feelings. |
| Marnie | OK. All that's left is to get them a present, then! |
| Bea | How about something sweet? |
| Marnie | Uh...sure, I think makin' some chocolates might be nice... |
| Bea | Chocolates! Yes, that's an excellent choice! |
| Swimmer | OK! Please help me make them! |
| Marnie | Sure thing! I can teach you how to make the sweetest chocolates ever! |
| Bea | I'll help you out, too! |
| Marnie | Hey! Could you two help me out again? |
| Dawn | Yeah, leave it to us! |
| Serena | Bea! Lookin' good! Looks like the clothes I picked out match you perfectly! |
| Bea | Thank you for your help, Serena. I was able to walk around town without being recognized. |
| Serena | Always happy to help! But honestly, look at how cute you are! |
| Bea | Oh! Really? |
| Marnie | All right! Let's get started on these desserts! |
- Sweet Heart Present
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Leon | You live up to your reputation, Champion Diantha! |
| Diantha | I'm also happy to face an opponent as fierce as you, Leon! |
| Gloria | Welp, looks like they're gonna battle for real! |
| Piers | Fine by me. If they're enjoyin' it, it'll be a more convincing ploy. That works in our favor. |
| Masked Man | *snort* Gimme a break. A Palentine's battle? We're gonna steal all those presents from their fans—down to the very last one! |
| Marnie | Bingo. We know you're plannin' on making a mess outta this match, but we're not gonna let you do that! |
| Masked Man | Ugh! No need to deal with these brats! Let's go! |
| Swimmer | ... ... ... |
| Beauty | Oh! You're that guy who was injured that one time... |
| Masked Man | Hey! Aren't you one of us? Where'd you put your mask?! |
| Beauty | Wait... You're in Team Break? |
| Gloria | C'mon. We've got to help him! |
| Marnie | Wait! Let's wait for him to say what he's gonna say first. Just watch! |
| Masked Woman | What, so he's, like, a traitor? Let's punish him! |
| Bea | I'll have to ask you to refrain. If you truly are that hungry for a battle, we'll take you on. |
| Swimmer | I won't let you lay a single finger on them! |
| Masked Man | Bwahahaha! Look at you! You're so scared, your legs are shaking! |
| Marnie | Pull it together! You know what you wanna say, right? |
| Masked Man | Y-yeah! I have to say it! |
| Marnie | I believe in you! My cheers will really get you goin'! |
| Swimmer | W-we won! |
| Marnie | Well done! Leave the rest to us! |
| Bea | It's over. |
| Masked Woman | How can they look like that yet be so strong? |
| Marnie | Don't let your guard down just 'cause we're cute! We'll eat you right up! My partner Mawile is fierce AND cute! |
| Leon | Our match got canceled, so we'll have it another day, huh. Well, even if everything did go according to plan, it's a shame we couldn't finish our battle. |
| Diantha | It was just getting exciting, too. |
| Swimmer | I'm glad you're both safe! |
| Beauty | Um... So you're in Team Break? |
| Bea | Put that aside for now, and try to see the person behind the mask. |
| Beauty | ... ... ... Um... Thank you for your help just now. |
| Swimmer | No, I should be the one thanking you! Thank you so much for helping me when I was injured! Given it's Palentine's Day and all, I wanted to do something to thank you... |
| Beauty | Oh! So you made chocolates for me and Ponyta? I'm sorry, but my Ponyta actually isn't very fond of sweets. |
| Swimmer | Oh... I didn’t know... |
| Beauty | Ponyta's...eating it? I've never seen her eat something sweet with such gusto! |
| Swimmer | Ahaha! I'm so glad she understands how I feel! |
| Masked Man | Aww, why do they get to have all the fun?! |
| Marnie | Sheesh... If ya want presents that bad, I'll make ya some chocolates, OK? But you'd better shape up! |
| Masked Man | Presents? For us? Yippee! Thanks! I promise I won't do anything bad ever again! |
| Gloria | I sure hope so... |
| Piers | Quickly moved are the hearts of fickle souls... |
| Marnie | By the way, what happened to those presents you stole from me? |
| Masked Man | Uh...sorry! I couldn't help myself! They looked so tasty that I ate 'em all up! |
| Marnie | What?! Oh no... Um... Big Bro... Gloria... Actually, the presents they stole were supposed to be for you two. |
| Piers | Really, Sis?! So...you really were plannin' on givin' me some chocolates... |
| Gloria | That's too bad, huh. I know it's disappointing not to get a present... |
| Piers | Well...actually, I've gotten a present, haven't I. It's not something I can eat, but I definitely felt those feelings Marnie was sendin' me. |
| Gloria | Y'know what? Me too! I'm just happy to know how you feel, Marnie! |
| Marnie | Oh, cut it out. You're embarrassin' me! |
| Leon | I suppose our little mission to spread the thanks on Palentine's Day was a huge success! |
| Diantha | Seems so. |
| Marnie | Why do I always hafta deal with these sweet, softhearted feelings? Seriously. |
| Bea | Your words are so sweet, they've even started to melt my heart, Marnie. Sweet things are the best! |

| Marnie | Sorry for callin' you here like this. Here. This is some homemade fudge I made for Palentine's Day. Team Heartbreak didn't actually steal the present I made for you, <player>. Thanks!: I'm glad you like it. I'll treasure this present!: I'm glad and all, but make sure you eat it. I've got to redo the presents I made for Gloria and my big bro. That means you're the only one gettin' a present right now, <player>... So don't tell anyone yet, OK? You helped us out again, big time. Thanks for always bein' there for us. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna be relying on you forever, OK? If you're ever in trouble, you can count on me! I can help you out! For example... When you're about to take on a huge challenge, I've got your back! My cheers will really get you pumped! If you decide to give something your all, I'll be there, rootin' for ya with everything I've got! Just leave it to me! |

| Bea | I'm relieved that everyone is safe after all that chaos Team Heartbreak caused. It's all thanks to you, <player>. Actually, I've got a Palentine's Day gift for you. I made some truffles with Marnie and the others, you see... And I made some for you as well! You've been a huge help every day, so please accept this token of my gratitude. Maybe we can share it!: Oh...really? Share it? Looks yummy!: I think so, too. I did make a huge batch, so maybe we can have some together! Mmmm... It's sooo delicious... Er... Ahem. This is a reward for keeping to my strict training regimen every day... But please don't tell anyone you saw me smiling after eating something sweet! Let's just keep that between you and me, OK? |

| May | It's their Friendiversary! |
| May | Guess what, <player>! Right now, we're putting together plans for something really exciting! |
| Skyla | I heard that it's Lear and Hoopa's Friendiversary soon! I also heard we're going to have a big event to celebrate! Wow! |
| Raihan | You're coming, too, right, <player>? We're gonna make it a day you'll never forget! |
- When We Became Friends
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Lear | Hmph. Why do I have to go to the arena all of a sudden? Don't they know how busy I am? Oh well. Is this where I'm supposed to go? |
| Raihan | The man of the hour is finally here. Welcome, Lear! |
| Lear | Huh? What's all the commotion? Is this some kind of special occasion? |
| Skyla | Yes, of course it is! That's why we're all here to celebrate! |
| Raihan | We heard all about it, Lear... Today is the anniversary of the day that you became mates with Hoopa! It's your Friendiversary! |
| Lear | How did you—?! |
| May | N noticed that Hoopa was looking restless and asked it what was up. That's when he learned that today was the day that you and Hoopa met. Of course, Hoopa didn't know the exact date, but with Rachel and Sawyer's help, we were able to figure it out. |
| Lear | So THAT's what was going on. I noticed those two were being sneaky about something. |
| Skyla | Anyway, that's why we're throwing this big celebration for the two of you today! |
| Lear | Hmph. Well, I suppose I can allow people to throw parties for me from time to time... But if you're gonna do it, you'd better do it right! This had better be one of the biggest and best celebrations that Pasio has ever seen! |
| Raihan | Naturally, mate. This party's gonna be so wild, it'll turn the whole island upside down! |
| Skyla | And now, let’s begin the Friendiversary celebration of Lear and Hoopa! |
- Raihan's Photo Op
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Raihan | We're on the same team today, so let's make this exciting! |
| Leon | Yeah! We're gonna put on the greatest show anyone's ever seen! |
| Lear | How did I end up on this team? |
| Raihan | Pasio is all about three-on-three battles, isn't it? And we've got some special opponents for you! |
| Raihan | Your retainers insisted on setting up a battle for you against Dark-type Pokémon users. They also said they're not gonna hold back! |
| Lear | Oh, they did? |
| Raihan | This isn't just some ordinary Pokémon battle. It's the perfect chance for me to snap a pic of you and Hoopa in battle! |
| Lear | Hmph. Fine, I'll allow it. Hoopa and I are going to show you our coolest moves out there, so you'd better get some good shots! |
| Raihan | You lot are at the top of your game today, aren't you. I guess it's time for us to unleash our true power! Let the winds blow! Stream forward, Sandstorm! |
| Leon | Nice! Show 'em how it's done, Raihan! |
| Raihan | Heheh. All the crowd's attention is on me now! |
| Lear | Hey! I thought this battle was for ME to show off! |
| Piers | He's changed the weather. |
| Rachel | This is, like, really bad... |
| Piers | Maybe. But we've got to keep things exciting even when we're in trouble. That's the golden rule of entertainment! Here's a number I had saved just for this! Obstagoon, use Obstruct! |
| Leon | Heh. You really brought your A game! |
| Piers | When you give it your all, anything's possible. That goes for singing AND Pokémon battles! Champion! I'm going to take your title right here, right now! |
| Sawyer | Are you this passionate at your concerts? |
| Rachel | What's wrong with it? Look! The crowd is going suuuper wild! |
| Raihan | Heh. We've got just as much passion as you! Flygon and I have been battling together since my Gym Challenge days. We've got twice as strong a bond as anyone! Hey, Lear! Do you think you can keep up with us? |
| Lear | Are you serious? Hoopa and I run things here on Pasio! You think we're gonna fall behind the likes of you?! |
| Raihan | That's the spirit! All right. Let's finish this! |
| Raihan | Phew. That was a good battle. |
| Lear | You two are pretty strong. Your teamwork wasn't half bad, either. How come you get along so well? Aren't you supposed to be rivals? |
| Raihan | I've battled with Leon tons of times to try to knock him off his throne. I know all his moves. |
| Leon | The great thing about Pasio is that you can team up with your friends, your rivals, or...anyone! |
| Raihan | Y'know, we could settle our rivalry right here if you want to! |
| Leon | Oh yeah? Well I'm ready if you are! |
| Lear | Hey! Stop stealing the spotlight, will you? This event is supposed to be about me, remember? |
| Piers | Thanks for the battle. It really got me fired up. How did the pictures turn out, by the way? |
| Raihan | Perfectly! Here, check this one out! |
| Rachel | Wait. You can't be serious. Just this one picture? |
| Raihan | Well, you see... Because of the sandstorm, most of the pictures didn't turn out too well... |
| Lear | So I guess it didn't matter how good our teamwork was if the sandstorm messed up all the photos. |
| Raihan | Hey now, at least we'll still have the memory of this awesome battle, right? |
| Lear | Don't tell me your plan all along was just to get a cool picture of yourself! |
| Raihan | Hehe... Oh, hey! I’ve got an idea! Why don't we all take one big group picture together right now? Good idea, right? OK, everyone stand together! |
| Lear | Hmph. That will do, I guess. |
| Raihan | Say "cheese!" |
- High-Flying Skyla
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Skyla | OK, it's our turn now! We've got a super-exciting exhibition match for you today! |
| Lear | Interesting. Your partner is Therian Forme Tornadus. |
| Skyla | That's right! He zooms around at 200 miles per hour, and he's a real rascal. He's one of the Legendary Pokémon of Unova! He's the perfect partner for Skyla, the high-flying girl! And I'm joined by... |
| Winona | Pelipper, the messenger of the skies! Our Flying-type Pokémon have the wind at their backs, and nothing will stop us! |
| Kahili | Alola! And alola once again! Toucannon and I will read the wind—and ride the wind to victory! |
| Lear | That's a strong-looking team. And who are your opponents? |
| ??? | That would be us. |
| Lear | It's Elesa! Wow, both team leaders are Gym Leaders from Unova. |
| Skyla | That's right! Elesa is both a supermodel and a super Gym Leader! She's my number-one bestie! |
| Elesa | We may be besties, but don't think I'm going to go easy on you, Skyla. Plus, I'm here today with some teammates who've got my back. |
| Volkner | This looks like it's gonna be a fun battle. Let's get this thing started! |
| Clemont | Our Electric-type Pokémon will lead us to victory! |
| Skyla | We're rivals today, Elesa! Watch out, 'cause we're gonna blow you away! |
| Elesa | Right back at ya, sweetie! Here we go! |
| Iris | That looks fun! I wish I could've been in the battle! |
| Burgh | Oh, such a fierce battle...and yet, their movements are so polished and so artistic! If only I'd had the chance to color this battle with my own palette! |
| Elesa | Impressive. I didn't think you'd be able to keep up with us. |
| Volkner | If we don't amp it up, we might be in trouble. |
| Skyla | This isn't just a Pokémon battle. It's also a battle to see who's got the most style! So I'm gonna fly high—and keep flying higher and higher! This is the awesomest, most stylish Pokémon battle that anyone's ever seen! |
| Clemont | Looks like she's going for much more than just a win... |
| Elesa | Skyla, that is so amazing! I would totally be cheering for you if we were on the same team! But today we’re rivals, so I’m gonna put an end to this! |
| Elesa | We lost... You really lived up to your high-flying nickname, Skyla. I guess we lost because we couldn't match your speed. |
| Skyla | They say that Tornadus is much faster in its Therian Forme than in its Incarnate Forme. |
| Elesa | I'll say. Emolga was completely blown away. |
| Kahili | The winds were so fierce, we almost couldn't read them! |
| Winona | True, but the crowd was really excited, and most important of all... |
| Skyla | we got to have a real high-flying battle! |
| Elesa | Let's have a rematch soon. |
| Skyla | Of course! Next time, I'm going to let Tornadus go wild and unleash even more of its power! |
| Elesa | Even more than this time? Hmm...I like your attitude... but if Tornadus goes even wilder than this, your teammates and the audience might get blown away, too! Instead of the "high-flying girl," we'll have to start calling you the "makes-everyone-fly-away girl!" |
| Lear | That was a thrilling and stylish battle. I wish it had kept going. It really was a memorable one! |
| Skyla | Thanks so much, Lear! Do you want to battle with us next? |
| Lear | That's not a bad idea, but actually, there are already some other Trainers who want to challenge you! |
| Skyla | I'll take on anyone's challenge—anytime, anyplace! But this time, I'd love to do it with Elesa on my team! |
- Spectacular May
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Lisia | Dazzling, dizzying, doldrums defying! Welcome to Lisia's Miraculous Pokémon Contest Spectacular! Are you all having a great time? All right! This exciting event should be titled... Emotional and Miraculous Friendiversary Live Show! |
| Wallace | I'll show you beautiful illusions of water, me, and my Pokémon! |
| Fantina | Whenever and wherever, dance, dance, dance! Dancing is no challenge for me, because I'm the best! |
| Lisia | Let's hear everyone cheer! |
| May | Lisia really is popular, isn't she? The crowd is going wild! |
| Brendan | Why don't you get up onstage, too, May? |
| May | I'm just here to help backstage. My turn to shine is later. Contest Spectaculars do look like a lot of fun, though... Back in Hoenn, I often helped with my father's work...but I always wondered what it would be like to be up onstage... |
| Lisia | OK, everyone. Right now, I'm going to scout today's fourth contest idol! And that lucky someone is... |
| May | Huh?! |
| Lisia | May, get up here onstage with us! |
| May | Wh-what?! Me? |
| Brendan | She didn't tell you about this ahead of time? |
| May | No! This is completely out of nowhere! I can't just go up onstage all of a sudden. Not with Lisia and all the other talented performers... |
| Brendan | Lisia chose you, right? That means you've got what it takes! I know you'll be awesome up there together with Latias! |
| May | Brendan... You're right. I've always wanted to give this a try. I'm not going to let this chance pass me by! I’ll do it! |
| Brendan | All right! I'll be cheering for you! |
| May | Will you go up onstage with me, Latias? OK, let's go! |
| Lisia | Now that all the great contest idols are here onstage... Let's start the performance! |
| Steven | Watching May and the others onstage really makes you think. When it comes to Pokémon, being strong isn't everything. Competing to see who's the cutest or most beautiful is another great way to build strong bonds between Pokémon and their Trainers. |
| Brendan | Yeah... May's always been the type to treasure her bond with her Pokémon. To see May onstage being recognized for that, and to see her have a chance to shine... It's awesome! |
| May | Yeah, that's it, Latias! You're in the groove! OK, let's keep going. Now show the crowd something spectacular! |
| Lisia | That was such an amazing Contest Spectacular! |
| Wallace | By competing, we brought out the best in each other and reached even higher dimensions! It truly was a miraculous performance! |
| Fantina | While I was dancing, I couldn't help but be captivated by the dances of my rivals! |
| Lisia | I made the right choice, scouting you for this contest, didn't I? |
| May | I was really nervous at first, but little by little, I got used to it! It's all thanks to Latias! She supported me the whole way through! |
| Lisia | She did? |
| May | Latias can sense people's emotions and use telepathy to communicate her feelings. She was able to sense what the people in the audience wanted and passed that on to me. |
| Lisia | Wow, that's amazing! Come to think of it, you and Latias really were in sync onstage! |
| May | Hehehe. Thanks! We had a really good time. |
| Lisia | If that's the case, May... How about being a contest idol back in Hoenn? |
| May | Wh-what?! |
| Lisia | How about it? Your performance was wonderful, and you've really got good instincts! |
| May | Me? In Hoenn...? Yeah! I wanna give it a try! It makes me a bit nervous to think about... but I really want to learn more about Pokémon Contest Spectaculars! And as long as I'm together with Latias, I'll be OK! |
| Lisia | Yaaaay! Another successful scouting! Did you hear that, everyone? Today, a new contest idol is born! |
| May | I promise I'll train really hard! Once I've learned the ropes, I'll be back with confidence to do more performances! And when I do, I'll be looking forward to hearing your cheers! |

| Lear | Good work. That was a decent-enough event, I guess. |
| Raihan | C'mon, there's nothing to be embarrassed about! Just admit it: You had a blast, didn't you! |
| Lear | Hmph. Well...you're not wrong. I suppose I'll give you that. But... |
| May | If there's something on your mind, it's OK to say it! |
| Lear | *sigh* I didn't realize today was our Friendiversary... I'm really sorry I forgot, Hoopa. I'll never forget the day we met for as long as I live... and I don't know how it slipped my mind that today was the day. I'm grateful for everything you've done! I would've never been able to make things exciting here on Pasio if it weren't for you. So, from here on out... |
| Sawyer | Oh, young master! I never knew you were so grateful for our service, young master! We'll stay by your side forever! |
| Lear | What are you two doing here?! Hoopa! Where did Hoopa go? |
| Rachel | It called us here and then, like, went away. |
| Lear | Hoopaaaaa! |
| Raihan | There they go again. Hard to tell if those two are friends or enemies sometimes, huh. But y'know what? Meeting them for the first time was a good memory for me, too. I'm not joking. I'm really glad I was able to come to Pasio. |
| Skyla | I couldn't agree more! I've been able to meet so many sync pairs since I came here. If it weren't for Pasio, I probably never would've been able to meet either of you! |
| May | I feel the same way. I'm so glad I came to Pasio! I really treasure the friendships I've made here. I'll never forget the people or the Pokémon I got to know on Pasio! |

| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Professor Sycamore | Hey there! Thanks for showing up! The reason why I called you here is because I need your help searching for something! Take a look at this strange specimen that was delivered to the Pokémon Center. Doesn't it look a bit like a cell? I'm thinking it might be part of a Pokémon. |
| Serena | Oh, it's green and sparkly. And also a bit squishy! |
| Professor Sycamore | Fascinating, right? I think we should do more investigating to figure out what it is! This may have something to do with the rumor that Hoopa has brought Pokémon to Pasio. |
| Serena | We're on it! Let's split up and look for more of them! |
- The Third Legendary
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Serena | Let's have a look around the area! |
| Youngster | Hey! You haven't seen a Growlithe around here, have you? I can't find him anywhere! If you see him, let me know, OK? |
| Serena | Sure! We can keep an eye out for you. I'll let you know if we find him! Come on, let's help search for Growlithe! |
| Professor Sycamore | Certainly! We can look for the lost Pokémon while we search for the sparkly green things. |
| Youngster | Where'd my Growlithe run off to? |
| Rising Star | A Growlithe? I think I did hear some growling noises nearby... |
| Collector | I found a green, sparkly thing on the ground a moment ago... It looked like the sort of thing that would make my Altaria even more gorgeous. But I guess I'll never know—a Growlithe ran past me and carried it off! |
| ??? | Hey! Is there a Growlithe hiding over there? |
| Serena | Oh, are you looking for Growlithe, too? |
| ??? | N-no! Hoping I don't run into it, actually... |
| ??? | Hey! Is there a Growlithe hiding over there? |
| Serena | Nope, doesn't look like it. |
| Masked Woman | Phew... That's good. This crazy Growlithe's been chasing me all over the place! |
| Serena | Oh! You're part of Team Break? Maybe he was chasing you because of your mask. |
| Professor Sycamore | If you're smart, you'll learn from this lesson and leave Team Break for good. |
| Masked Woman | Sh-shut up! Like I'd actually leave Team Break just because one little Growlithe scared me— Eeeeek! It saw me! You said it wasn't here, you big liaaaars! |
| Youngster | Look! My Growlithe came back! |
| Serena | Glad you found each other again! |
| Youngster | Me too! He was carrying this in his mouth... Do any of you know what it is? |
| Serena | *gasp* Look, Professor! |
| Professor Sycamore | It seems Growlithe found what we've been searching for. |
| Serena | Yeah! It's got some drool on it now, but that's OK! |
| Professor Sycamore | We found another one of these sparkly green things... No doubt about it. This must be— |
| Serena | Whoa... Is that what I think it is? |
| Professor Sycamore | Zygarde?! Doesn't look like it wants to attack us. |
| Serena | What should we do, Professor? |
| Professor Sycamore | It's not aggressive... And the fact that it's not leaving your side must mean it wants to follow you. Why don’t we head back into town for now? |
| Professor Sycamore | Zygarde... First, Xerneas and Yveltal showed up on Pasio, and now Zygarde's here. That makes the third Legendary Pokémon from Kalos... |
| ??? | Did I keep you two waiting? |
| Serena | Sorry I'm late. I was walking here with Zygarde, but it kept getting distracted. |
| Calem | I don't think I've seen you wear that outfit before, Serena. Is it new? |
| Serena | Yeah! I thought I'd change things up since I'm hanging out with Zygarde! I even did my hair a little different, to look more grown-up! |
| Calem | It looks really cool on you. And I think it all comes together really well! |
| Serena | *chuckle* Thanks! All right! Shall we go meet up with the professor? |
| Professor Sycamore | Hi! Thanks for coming. There are a few new things I've learned about Zygarde that I'd like to share with you. Those sparkly green things we were looking for are actually cells. They come together to form Zygarde’s body. |
| Serena | Really?! |
| Professor Sycamore | Depending on the number of cells it has collected within its body, it can transform into different forms. So if we're able to collect more of its cells than it has now, that should theoretically give Zygarde an immense amount of power! I'm talking even more power than Xerneas and Yveltal! |
| Calem | Seriously? Even more power than those two? |
| Professor Sycamore | According to legend, Zygarde monitors the ecosystem, neutralizing those who harm it. I suspect that's why it needs so much power—so it can ward off those threats. |
| Calem | Oh. But if its cells are scattered right now, that means its power is incomplete, right? |
| Professor Sycamore | Not exactly. In a pinch, it's able to gather its cells together if it needs to. |
| Serena | There must be a reason why it scattered its cells all over Pasio, then. If that's the case, I can help find all of Zygarde's cells, Professor! Maybe it's sick and can't call its cells together or something... If that's why Zygarde's sticking with me, then I can't just ignore it! |
| Professor Sycamore | Hm... Like I said earlier, Zygarde is a Pokémon that has great power hidden within itself. I'm not sure what would happen if it did collect all of its cells together in one place... |
| Serena | Please, Professor? If anything happens, I promise I'll calm it down! |
| Calem | We'll help her out, too, Professor. It'll be safer with three of us around, right? |
| Serena | Thanks, Calem! <player>! |
| Professor Sycamore | All right. I can see how determined you are. I'll leave figuring out what Zygarde wants to do to you three. As for me, I'll stay here and try to find as much info as I can! |
| Serena | Thanks, Professor! |
| Professor Sycamore | I'll ask some Champion-class Trainers for their help, too, just in case something does happen. But I believe in you three! Just be sure to stay safe, all right? |
| Serena | Yes, sir! OK! Let’s head out and find the rest of Zygarde's cells! |
- The Search for Cells
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Beauty | Sparkly and green? Yeah, I saw something like that over there. |
| Serena | Really? Thanks! There's a surprisingly large number of people saying they've seen those cells! If we keep this up, we'll have this wrapped up in no time! |
| Serena | We didn’t find a single one! |
| Calem | This might be harder than we originally thought... |
| ??? | Yo! What're you lot up to? |
| Calem | We're looking for something. Y'see, there's these things all over Pasio that— |
| Serena | Wait! What's that you're holding? |
| Hop | Oh, this? I picked it up over there. Don't see something like this every day, right? I was gonna take it home and research it! |
| Calem | That's actually part of a Pokémon called Zygarde. |
| Hop | Zygarde? Oh! You mean that one right there? |
| Serena | Yup! Professor Sycamore asked us to help him conduct some research on it. |
| Hop | Zygarde's a Pokémon that's made up of a bunch of cells, right? I'd heard rumors that it's been spotted in the Crown Tundra before, but this the first time I've actually seen one of its cells in person! |
| Serena | Oh, so you already knew all about it! No wonder you're Professor Sonia's assistant! Do you happen to know anything else? |
| Hop | Well...not really. But if Zygarde is a Legendary Pokémon that's shown up in Kalos, Alola, and even Galar... maybe a Pokémon Professor from Galar or Alola would know something about it! Er...Sonia's busy doing talks and presentations on her research, though. |
| Calem | Why don't we find a professor from Alola and ask them about it? |
| Hop | Yeah! Let me come with you! I'm happy to help Professor Sycamore with his investigation! |
| Kukui | Zygarde, huh? Sorry! I'd love to help you out, but I don't know much more than you do. |
| Hop | Aw, really? |
| Serena | Do you know anyone else who might know more about Zygarde? |
| Kukui | Oh! Now that you mention it, I do! Hm...but I dunno about that guy... |
| Calem | So you do know someone? |
| Kukui | Well, just a rumor. I hear there’s a guy who's researching Zygarde on Pasio. But... I also heard he's a bit overzealous with his research methods. I'm not sure if I wanna introduce you to him. |
| Calem | Could you do it anyway? Please? |
| Serena | Please introduce us, Professor! |
| Kukui | Well...OK. I'll get in contact and let him know you're researching Zygarde. |
| Serena | Yay! Thank you! |
| Kukui | ... ... ... |
- Misguided Methods
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Scientist | Ah, hello there. I heard about you from Professor Kukui. I hear you've been struggling with something related to Zygarde? It's a Pokémon chock-full of mysteries to solve, after all. That's what makes it such an interesting specimen! If you're struggling to collect the cells, I can teach you a shortcut. Follow me. |
| Serena | Thank you! |
| Hop | Look at all the cells around here! |
| Serena | Let's gather them up, everyone! Let’s collect Zygarde’s cells! |
| Hop | Hehe! Look what I found! |
| Preschooler | Umm, are you looking for something? Is it green and, um, sparkly? I found it! Do you want it? Um, I can give it to you. I'm so thirsty. Do you have any drinks? I've got some Soda Pop.: Oooh! I love sweet drinks! I can drink them now because I'm four! Here's some Fresh Water.: Water? I guess that's OK... You don't have anything else? If only you had Soda Pop... I need some sugar in my life. |
| Calem | My search has been going pretty well! |
| Lass | Hm? You're looking for something? I haven't seen anything around here. |
| Lass | ... ... ... |
| Lass | Huh? You think there's something behind me? |
| Lass | You just don't give up, do you... |
| Lass | Could you leave me alone? Do your searching somewhere else! |
| Lass | Ugh! Fine! I'll move out of your way, all right?! All I wanted to do was take a cute selfie with this sparkly stuff in the background! Jeez... |
| Serena | Ready to finish up here? Did we find enough Zygarde cells? I want to keep looking.: OK! Let's go search for some more! I think we're done.: OK! Let's catch up with the rest of the group. |
| Hop | Look, I got some! |
| Calem | We just gathered them up like usual, though... What was that shortcut you were talking about? |
| Scientist | Oh, of course. I can show you a much faster way to find these cells than going around collecting them... Watch and learn! |
| Serena | What? |
| Calem | What do you think you're doing?! |
| Scientist | Hehehe! When Zygarde's strength is compromised, it has the ability to call its cells to come together! So there's really no reason for you to waste time walking around searching for them! |
| Masked Man | Hehehehe! |
- Together with You
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Masked Man | Why are you disrupting my research?! If Zygarde feels that its life is in danger... it might just bring all of its cells together in one place on its own! |
| Serena | That doesn't make it OK! Hurting Pokémon is wrong! |
| Masked Man | Wrong? Preposterous! If the ends justify the means, then nothing is off the table. |
| Calem | Now I get what Professor Kukui meant by overzealous... |
| Hop | We can't let him get away with this! |
| Serena | I'm sorry, Zygarde... We never should've rushed the investigation... We should have stuck by you, step by step. Can you forgive us? And maybe give us another chance? |
| Masked Man | I assure you, there won't be another chance! Ack! Wh-what's that light?! |
| Serena | Zygarde! You'll lend us your power? |
| Masked Man | I won't let you have Zygarde! It's MY research subject! I've claimed it! |
| Serena | Pokémon aren't tools or research subjects to be claimed! They're our precious partners! The way you view Pokémon is just wrong! It's absolutely unacceptable! |
| Masked Man | Drat! I was so close! |
| Kukui | Hey! You all OK over there? I got worried, so I came to check on how things were going. |
| Serena | Professor! |
| Kukui | I saw that scientist running away. I never realized he was part of Team Break... I'm sorry for putting you through that, kids. |
| Serena | No, Professor! It wasn't your fault! |
| Hop | Yeah! We're the ones who pushed you to introduce us to him, even though you didn't want to. |
| Kukui | Well, I'm glad you're all OK. That said, now we're back to square one. |
| Serena | It's OK! We'll collect all of the cells ourselves, one by one! And we'll do it together with Zygarde! |
| Kukui | Well, that's quite the endeavor. But I'm sure you can do it! I'm rooting for you! |
| Calem | Is that...Hoopa? |
| Hop | What's it doing with that ring? Whoa! |
| Kukui | I think it warped space to create a path that connects to somewhere else! |
| Calem | What do you think Hoopa is trying to do? |
| Kukui | I wonder if it's trying to help Zygarde get back home. |
| Serena | Zygarde... |
| Hop | Huh?! Hoopa’s gone now! |
| Serena | Are you sure about this, Zygarde? |
| Kukui | Zygarde decided to stay on Pasio, then! Guess we should respect that, yeah? It could be that Zygarde has some unfinished business on Pasio. For example...maybe it wants to do even more exploring with you! |
| Serena | Maybe! I'm not sure what you wanna do here, Zygarde... But I'll stay with you till you finish it! |

| Serena | Here you go, Zygarde! These are all the cells I've found! |
| Calem | Whoa. That was bright! What just happened? |
| Professor Sycamore | Looks like you were able to collect quite a number of cells! |
| Serena | We never did figure out why you're here, Zygarde. But it seems like this is the last— |
| Professor Sycamore | Oh my. It went and scattered its cells again. |
| Serena | What in the world?! What are you doing? We worked so hard to collect those for you, you know. |
| Calem | Whoa, what now? |
| Serena | You want us to go with you somewhere? |
| Professor Sycamore | I'm not entirely sure, but why don't we follow it? |
| Hiker | *sob* It hurts... |
| Serena | Oh no! Man down! |
| Calem | Let's take him to the Pokémon Center! |
| Serena | Wait—you want to go somewhere else now? |
| Professor Sycamore | You can go with Zygarde. I'll take care of things here. |
| Serena | OK! Thank you, Professor! |
| Masked Man (1) | Wh-who are you?! |
| Masked Man (2) | How did you even find us?! |
| Calem | Team Break? Oh, and look over there! |
| Serena | That Pokémon looks hurt! |
| Masked Man (2) | Gah! Well, if our cover's busted, we've got no choice! |
| Masked Man (1) | What're those green sparkly things?! They're all going to that Pokémon... |
| Serena | Oh, I get it! Count me in, Zygarde! I'm ready! |
| Masked Man (2) | Drat! |
| Serena | C'mon! We have to get this Pokémon to the Pokémon Center! |
| Professor Sycamore | Both the Pokémon and its Trainer are in good hands now. |
| Serena | I'm so glad to hear that! |
| ??? | Oh! Were you the ones who helped him, Professor? |
| Serena | Looker! |
| Looker | I've been searching for a Trainer reported as missing for a while now. I'm glad you found him! From what I hear, he did everything he could to protect his Pokémon from Team Break... But he got injured and couldn't walk! |
| Calem | Oh! So that means... |
| Looker | Yeah. That Pokémon you saved from Team Break was his partner. |
| Serena | Thanks, Zygarde. You're the one that found them, aren’t you. |
| Professor Sycamore | Huh. That must be why Zygarde sent its cells all over Pasio again! It was looking for that Trainer and his Pokémon! A human tried to protect his partner Pokémon, and a Pokémon worried more about its partner than its own well-being... As the guardian of the ecosystem, Zygarde must have realized how much they cared for each other. |
| Serena | I feel like I've learned yet another new thing about Zygarde! |
| Professor Sycamore | True. You've learned from Zygarde what it means to be strong enough to protect others... And I'm sure Zygarde learned from your compassion and willingness to help others, Serena! In collecting all of Zygarde's cells, you earned more than just a glimpse at its complete form... It brought your hearts together. |
| Serena | It really did! Zygarde, I hope you'll continue to lend me your power! Together, we can protect everyone around us! |

| Morty | Drifblim must be... There! All right! Next, I'll— No, you're right—I really shouldn't overdo it. I think I'll call it a day. Thanks so much for sticking with me through all of this, everyone. |
| Morty | Hm? What was that just now? Is this...a Ho-Oh feather? |
| Morty | I hope Silver's around here somewhere... |
| Ethan | C'mon, Silver. Everyone else wants to battle against Ho-Oh, too! |
| Kris | It's such a strong and beautiful Pokémon. It's even spoken of in myths! As Pokémon Trainers, of course we want to battle it! |
| Lyra | Please! We just want you to show us how it behaves in battle! |
| Silver | Hmph... Just listen to you all prattle on... Why is everyone from Johto always like this? |
| Morty | Hey there! I'm glad I found you, Silver! I've got something I wanted to return to you. |
| Silver | To me? |
| Ethan | Whoa! Is that...a Ho-Oh feather?! |
| Morty | Yeah, I figured it must belong to Silver's Ho-Oh. |
| Silver | No... That's not from my Ho-Oh. |
| Morty | Really? Then where did this feather come from? |
| ??? | Look, everybody! A Ho-Oh feather! |

| Rising Star | I know, right? In Johto, it's said that if you have one of these feathers, you'll be able to meet Ho-Oh! |
| Camper | Where exactly did you find such a precious thing? |
| Rising Star | Huh?! Umm... That's a secret. Anyway, uh, bye! |
| Morty | Hey, do you have a second? |
| Ethan | That's a Ho-Oh feather you've got, right? Could you please show it to us, too? |
| Rising Star | Wh-what do you want? |
| Lyra | Oh, sorry for popping up so suddenly. We didn't mean to startle you. |
| Silver | Yeah...that's definitely not from my Ho-Oh. |
| Kris | So maybe it's really a feather from a different Pokémon. |
| Rising Star | H-hey, don't just come up to me and start saying stuff like that! I swear, this is definitely a Ho-Oh feather! Probably! I mean...I think... |
| Lyra | If that really is a Ho-Oh feather... and it's not from Silver's Ho-Oh... |
| Ethan | Then maybe a different Ho-Oh has come to Pasio! |
| Kris | You really think so? |
| Silver | ... ... ... |
| Morty | Another Ho-Oh on Pasio... |
| ??? | It's said that Legendary Pokémon will appear to the truly powerful Trainers. |
| Morty | If there's even a chance, then I have to try! I've just got to set my mind to it and go searching for Ho-Oh! |
| Lyra | And I'll help you! |
| Ethan | Let's all find Ho-Oh together! |
| Morty | Thank you both so much! |
| Silver | I'll pass. |
| Ethan | Huh? You won't come along with us? |
| Silver | The feather that girl had just now... There was something really suspicious about it. You can believe her if you want and go search for Ho-Oh. But don't get me involved. |
| Kris | I think...I agree with Silver. I'd like to do a little digging and see if what we just saw really was a Ho-Oh feather. |
| Lyra | You, too, Kris? |
| Kris | Sorry I can't go with you. I'll let you know if I find anything out! |
| Lyra | It looks like both of them want to be a bit more cautious about this. I was hoping they'd come along, but... Oh well. |
| Morty | It's fine. In fact, we may get even more information by splitting up like this. So let's do our part and start looking for Ho-Oh! |
| Silver | How did it go, Sneasel? Yes... That's definitely the girl from before. |
| Rising Star | Aww... It looks so yummy... |
| Silver | What, you're not going to buy something? |
| Rising Star | Eep! |

| Ethan | You found the Ho-Oh feather somewhere around here, right? |
| Morty | Yes... I found it shining in the dark. At first, I could hardly believe it. That I actually had a Ho-Oh feather in my own hand... |
| Lyra | You've wanted to meet Ho-Oh that badly? |
| Morty | Not just Ho-Oh—all of the Legendary Pokémon in the Johto region. But yes. Legendary Pokémon will appear to truly powerful Trainers. That's a saying that's been passed down in Ecruteak City. I believe those words are true, and since the moment I was born, I've been training in secret. Thanks to that training, I can see things that others can't see, but... that training hasn’t been easy. |
| Lyra | Have you ever felt like it's just too hard? |
| Morty | If I'm honest with you, yes, lots of times. But thanks to my Ghost-type Pokémon always sticking with me... the training's become a really good memory, not just hardship. Although, saying it like that makes it sound like it's all in the past, when actually my training is still ongoing. And I'll keep it up until I discover a new future for me. |
| Lyra | Wow, that's impressive... |
| Ethan | Let's do this, Morty! We'll find Ho-Oh for sure! |
| Morty | Yes! I certainly intend to! |
| Kris | I'll have to see it again to be sure, but I think that was... |
| Professor Oak | Hmm... |
| Kris | Thanks for the reference materials about Ho-Oh, Professor! They were really helpful! |
| Professor Oak | I'm glad to hear it! Feel free to come back anytime if you need anything. |
| Kris | Oh, Silver! And you from before! I'm so glad I found you! There's something I wanted to ask... |
| Silver | It seems like you've discovered something as well. Let's compare notes. |
| Lyra | We didn't find a single clue... |
| Ethan | I know—it's so frustrating! We've been searching high and low! |
| Morty | Well, that's the way it goes sometimes. It's not a Pokémon that can be found so easily. By the way, what’s all the commotion about? |
| Poké Fan | I'm the one who's gonna find Ho-Oh! |
| Hiker | Don't make me laugh! There's no possible way you could do it! |
| Pokémon Ranger | I already told you both—Ho-Oh is going to become MY partner Pokémon! |
| Lyra | Wh-what's going on? Every one of them has a Ho-Oh feather! |
| Ethan | Even though we searched so hard and couldn't find a single one! |
| Morty | Something's definitely strange here. Silver and Kris may have been right after all... |
| ??? | It certainly looks that way. |
| Kris | About that Ho-Oh feather she had... It was a fake—a feather taken from a different bird Pokémon and dyed. |
| Lyra | Whaaa?! A fake?! |
| Silver | Now tell them where you got that feather. |
| Rising Star | I, uh... Actually...I bought it from Team Rocket. |
| Ethan | T-Team Rocket?! |
| Rising Star | I didn't know it was a fake... It was really expensive, but I spent all the cash I had on it because I thought I'd be able to meet Ho-Oh... |
| Morty | I see... So Team Rocket's been selling fake Ho-Oh feathers... |

| Hiker | I will! |
| Pokémon Ranger | No, I will! |
| Poké Fan | Nooo! I will catch Ho-Oh! |
| Morty | ... ... ... Right, then. Let;s find the people who did this. Will you all help? |
| Ethan | Of course! |
| Kris | Let's catch them right away and put a stop to all this! |
| Morty | All those people truly believe that their feathers are genuine... Toying with their trusting hearts and stomping on their dreams and aspirations... It's unforgivable. |
| Team Rocket Grunt (1) | Oh! How about you? Wouldn't you like one of these Ho-Oh feathers? |
| Team Rocket Grunt (2) | Right now, they're going for just one million apiece! Great deal, don't you think? |
| Morty | Ah... So you're the ones selling the fake Ho-Oh feathers. |
| Team Rocket Grunt (2) | Shoot! H-he knows they're fake! |
| Team Rocket Grunt (1) | Hmph. If he's on to us, there's only one thing we can do! |
| Team Rocket Grunt (3) | C'mon, everyone! Get him! |
| Morty | The trusting hearts of humans, as well as their dreams and aspirations... These things are worthy of respect. I won't just stand by and let you trample all over those precious thoughts and feelings! |
| Team Rocket Grunt (1) | H-he's so strong! |
| Team Rocket Grunt (2) | This is...not good! |
| Team Rocket Grunt (3) | Urk! |
| Morty | Promise me now that you'll never deceive people like that again. |
| Team Rocket Grunt (1) | What're you talkin' about? It's easy money. Why would we ever give that up? |
| Morty | Then I suppose I'll have to drive this lesson a little further home. |
| Silver | No, that's enough. It looks like those fakes of yours were actually of some use. Behold—the real Ho-Oh. |
| Team Rocket Grunt (3) | D-darn it! |
| Team Rocket Grunt (2) | We can't keep selling these if someone here's actually partnered with the real thing! |
| Silver | That wasn't like you at all. |
| Morty | You're right... I may have gotten a bit carried away. |
| Silver | Was it because of Ho-Oh? Or because you couldn't stand what Team Rocket was doing? |
| Morty | Probably...both. |
| Kris | We took care of the other Team Rocket members selling fake Ho-Oh feathers, too! |
| Ethan | That guy from the International Police told us to leave the rest to him. |
| Morty | I see... That's a relief. |
| Lyra | ... ... ... |
| Silver | You don't need a feather. |
| Morty | Huh? |
| Silver | After all, I didn't. |
| Morty | Thanks, Silver... |
| Ethan | They say Ho-Oh will reveal itself before a pure-hearted Trainer, right? I'm sure it's watching you from somewhere, Morty, and seeing your pure and strong feelings! |
| Morty | Maybe. I think I'll keep the feather I found yesterday as a memento. So I never forget my determination to meet Ho-Oh! |
| Morty | ... ... ... Are you...my new future? |

| Bede | Oh, you must have an eye for talent! It's true, I'm the elitest of all of the elite...and it is I who carries the future of Galar! This loss was just a fluke. I'll be sure that next time— |
| Blue | Lemme stop you there. You've got talent, but you can't keep going like this. |
| Bede | Wha—?! |
| Blue | Keep doing things this way, and sure, you'll get strong to a certain point... But you're not gonna be beating any Champions. |
| Bede | How rude. It's almost as if you're insinuating that I've got a flaw of some sort. |
| Blue | Yeah, I am. You're definitely missing something. Here, I have just the thing for you. Y'see, there's gonna be an event soon... It's called the New Stars of Pasio tournament. Feel up for that? Everyone who joins this tournament will be randomly placed on a three-person team. Maybe battling with teammates will help you get a new perspective. |

| Hugh | Big talk. You're so sure you're stronger than us? Why don't we have a battle and see if that's true, then? |
| Bede | Fine. If that's what you need, I'll take you on! |
| Wally | S-stop it, you two! We're a team, so we shouldn't be fighting amongst ourselves! Why don't we at least try battling another team first? Come on... Please? |
| Bede | Fine. That's acceptable. |
| Hugh | Hmph! |
| Hau | Heya! Thanks for the battle! |
| Bede | Oh, we'll have no trouble at all if it's Hop's team we're battling. |
| Hop | Why are you always so cheeky, mate? Don't be too surprised when you get taken down by our teamwork! |
| Hop | All right! We won! |
| Bede | I can't believe it... I lost to Hop, of all people?! |
| Hugh | Shoot. |
| Wally | We lost... |
| Hau | Bede and Hugh, you were just barking orders over each other... So it was more like we were battling you one by one, instead of as a team. |
| Calem | You two might benefit from supporting each other more as teammates. |
| Hugh | Ugh... |
| Bede | ... ... ... Like I've already said before, just be a good sport and follow MY lead! |

| Wally | Ah! Bede! Hugh! Where are you going?! |
| Masked Man (1) | Ohoho... Did you see that battle just now? |
| Masked Woman | Yeah. Their team was a mess. They're totally out of sync! |
| Masked Man (2) | Their Pokémon might be strong, but we've got nothing to fear from shoddy teamwork like that! |

| Bede | Well...yes, I suppose you could say that. |
| Barry | I hear Hugh and Wally are on your team! How's that going? Perfect, I bet! |
| Bede | No. Far from it, actually. It's the worst. |
| Marnie | Huh? |
| Bede | Why did this have to be a team tournament? I would've been fine if I were battling on my own... Teaming up is nothing but a pain in the neck. |
| Marnie | Y'know...learnin' how to work together with your teammates can help you get stronger as a Trainer. |
| Bede | What? |
| Marnie | That's why I'm gonna work hard with my teammates and win this tournament! I've got a feeling I can use what I learn here to make Spikemuth even better! One day, Spikemuth's gonna be the top town in Galar. Just you wait an' see! |
| Bede | So...you're shouldering the hopes of your hometown when you battle here? |
| Marnie | Of course! It's all for my ultimate dream! I'm also lookin' forward to battling you and your team, Bede. |
| Gladion | Yeah. What she said. If you and your teammates are having a fight, you'd better work things out and get back on track. |
| Bede | We weren't fighting! |
| Gladion | Sure you weren't. Well, we've got to get back to practice. |
| Marnie | I'm looking forward to seeing you at the tournament, Bede! |
| Bede | She's trying to get stronger... Not for her own sake but to make her hometown better... I suppose the difference between us is the scope of our ambition. Then...what's a bigger goal I could aim for? |

| Cheren | I see. So that's what happened, huh. |
| Hugh | I've never met anyone with such a stuck-up personality in my life. |
| Bianca | I guess that's why you two don't mesh. You've always disliked anything that goes against your values. |
| Cheren | But you know, Hugh... You didn't enter the tournament just to have a fight with your teammates, right? Sometimes you have to meet the other person in the middle. |
| Hugh | But... |
| Cheren | A teammate is a peer who stands beside you on equal footing. |
| Hugh | ... ... ... |
| Cheren | If you're on the same team and have the same goal in mind, why not try to figure out what you can do to support them? |
| Bianca | Yeah! I bet you'd have way more fun if you all supported each other! |
| Hugh | ... ... ... A peer on equal footing, huh... |
| Wally | It's finally time for the tournament to start... Bede... Hugh... Oh! |
| Bede | ... ... ... Today, I'm here to win. |
| Hugh | Of course you are. Everyone gathered today is here to win. |
| Bede | But if we're really in this to win... we've got to cooperate as a team. |
| Hugh | ... ... ...! |
| Bede | Adapting my own battle style to match someone else may end up being a valuable experience. Although for me, it's more so that we can dominate these matches! I refuse to continue losing in such a disgraceful manner. |
| Hugh | Well...when you need a hand, I'll cover you. And trust me, we're not gonna lose anymore. |
| Bede | I'll hold you to that. Don't even think about slowing us down. |
| Hugh | Right back at ya. |
| Wally | Oh, thank goodness... |
| ??? | Haiyaaaaah! |

| Gladion | You're not getting away! |

| Bede | We were worried about you being alone, so we came to check on you. |
| Blue | Heh. Is that so? Gotta admit, I feel more secure with you guys here. |
| Masked Man | Oh, look who it is! I know all about you and your terrible teamwork! We saw how you lost to everyone else during practice! We'll have no trouble taking your team down... And then all of your Pokémon will be ours for the taking! |
| Bede | What did you just say? |
| Hugh | So not only did you interfere with our tournament... you were planning on stealing our partners, too?! Just to let you know...you're about to feel my rage! |
| Wally | Yeah! I won't just stand by and let you do that, Team Break! |
| Blue | Heh. It's about time you all got on the same page. I guess joining the tournament really did teach you a thing or two. |
| Bede | Well...I suppose it HAS made me stronger... Just a little bit. But this has nothing to do with the tournament. Since...we had to leave the tournament behind for this. |
| Blue | Nah, I don't think you'll have to worry about that. |
| Wally | Huh? |
| Hau | We heard about everything from Gladion, so we came to help you out! |
| Barry | You Team Break punks better be ready for a good walloping! |
| Silver | I needed to warm up, anyway... Let me join this battle, too. |
| Blue | I guess we're ALL on the same page. Right. Let's cut loose on these losers and head right back to the tournament! |
| Wally | OK! |
| Bede | No need to tell me. |
| Hau | Ready, you two? |
| Hop | Yep! I can't wait to get this battle started! |
| Calem | Let's start off on the right foot so we can win the tournament, too! |
| Barry | Come on, you two! We're gonna wipe the floor with these guys and show 'em that we're number one! |
| Marnie | Yeah! We'll show you how much better our teamwork has gotten after training together! |
| Gladion | Heh. If you refuse to back down, we have no choice but to take you out. |
| Blue | Silver. Have you been doing that training I told you about? |
| Silver | Hmph. You'll see for yourself once the battle starts! |
| Blue | Heh. Then let's see what you've got! |
| Wally | Bede! Hugh! |
| Hugh | Yeah, we're taking down every last one of these punks! |
| Bede | How very unfortunate... It appears you've chosen the wrong team to mess with. |

| Hilbert | Heh. Hilda sure is gung ho about this festival thing... But it looks like N's having fun with her around. I'm glad I invited them. |
- Festival Fun for Everyone

| Hilda | I'm definitely gonna get a winner this time! |
| Street Thug | Haha, nice try! Here's a potion as a consolation prize. |
| Hilda | Aw, c'mon! Three duds in a row... |
| Hilbert | C'mon, Hilda. Enough Pokémon lottery already. |
| N | I see... So if you get a winner, you can get prizes like Pokémon plushies. I'd like to give it a try. |
| Hilda | Sure! Just don't expect to win on your first— |
| Street Thug | Whoa, congratulations, dude! You've won the second prize—a set of Pokémon plushies! |
| N | Thank you. |
| Hilda | Seriously? You won in one try?! |
| N | Did you want a prize, Hilda? You can have one of these plushies, if you like. |
| Hilda | Nah. It's not as fun if you don’t win it on your own! As long as I have the will to win, I'm sure this next one will be a winner! |
| ??? | Now, Sirfetch'd! Take up your fighting stance! |
| Hilbert | Was that Bea's voice I heard just now? |
| N | She must be having a battle somewhere. |
| Hilda | Wait—did you say "battle"?! I wanna battle, too! Let's find her, quick! |
| Hilbert | Ack! Hilda, wait up! What about the lottery? |
| Hilda | Hey, who were you just battling? Where's your opponent? Where'd they go?! |
| Gloria | Oh, are you here because you heard Bea shouting? |
| Bea | That wasn't a battle. Lyra told me that people dance at summer festivals, so I was practicing for that. I thought I'd incorporate some Galar karate into my dancing. |
| Lyra | Yeah! Dancing is the perfect finale for a summer festival. It's a whole event in itself! |
| Hilda | Aw, so it wasn't a battle after all... But now that I think about it, a summer festival dance might also be pretty fun! |
| Bea | Wait a moment—that Grapploct... |
| Hilda | You noticed? Yeah, she’s from the Egg you gave me before! The little Clobbopus that hatched from it sure has grown up! |
| Bea | I can tell you've taken good care of her. She's truly a fine Grapploct. |
| Hilda | Thanks, Bea! By the way, do you wanna see how strong we've gotten? |
| Bea | Yes. As a matter of fact, that's precisely what I was thinking just now. |
| Hilda | OK, let's find a place... |
| Bea | ...where we can battle! |
| Hilbert | Wow, Hilda's already battling! She sure has a lot of energy. |
| N | She really seems to be enjoying herself. Hilda shines the brightest when she's battling. |

| Hilbert | I wonder where Hilda went, anyway. |
| N | She might've gotten more sync pairs to battle her. |
| Hilbert | Yeah, that's definitely a possibility... |
| Hilda | Sorry, you two! My plan was to come right back after I finished that battle with Bea... But then I got distracted by this really cool stall with a target practice game and lost track of time. |
| Hilbert | Yup, sounds like something you'd do. |
| N | I can just imagine your giddy face as you played. |
| Hilda | Hey! Stop treating me like a kid, you two! I mean... I guess it is true that I've been the one getting the most excited about all the games and stuff, but still... Anyway, check out these prizes I won! Here, I got one for each of you! |
| Hilbert | Oh, is this a pendant? There's a little rock attached to it. |
| Hilda | Yeah! They're replicas of these things called wishing stars! Apparently, they're these special rocks from Galar! They're said to grant wishes! And now all three of us have one! Let's keep them as mementos of the fun we're having today at this festival! My wish will be for us to become even better friends! |
| N | Thanks, Hilda. I'll take good care of this. This is such a lovely gift. I'll have to get you something in return. |
| Steven | Hm? Those rocks you've got there... |
| Hilda | I won them at the target practice game! They're wishing star replicas. The three of us are going to keep them as mementos of this fun summer festival! |
| Steven | Wishing star replicas, eh? |
| Hilbert | I hope you're not disappointed. |
| Steven | Not at all! Even if they're replicas, those rocks are now full of all your feelings. Because of that, they shine just as bright as the real thing. |
| N | Thank you. Do you know much about stones? If so, I have a question for you. I'm wondering what kind of stone I should get for Hilda in return. I'd like to get her something that will make her happy. |
| Steven | Hm... Well, Hilda’s always bright and strong, so I think a Sun Stone or a Shiny Stone would be great for her! Or maybe— |
| ??? | Step right up! It's time for a special game! |
| Hilbert | Hm? Isn't that—? |
| Hilda | Hey! That's Team Break! |
- A Special Game
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Hilda | We should go over there and teach them a lesson! |
| Hilbert | Wait, Hilda! Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to pick a fight with them. |
| Steven | By all appearances, they're just operating a festival stall. |
| N | Why don't we keep an eye on what they're doing, just in case? |
| Hilda | If you say so... I guess I'll stand down. |
| Camper | Oooh, what's going on? |
| Masked Man (1) | The rules are simple! All you have to do is select the two Poké Balls that have Pokémon inside them out of four! Remember, only TWO have Pokémon in them. The other two are empty! Since two out of four have Pokémon inside, you have a 50 percent chance of winning! If you're able to find the Poké Balls with Pokémon in them twice in a row, we'll give you a Mythical Pokémon! |
| Hilda | Hm... I mean, they're calling it a game, but... |
| Hilbert | They're giving out Pokémon as prizes? |
| N | ... ... ... |
| Masked Man (1) | Don't forget, this is your chance to win yourself a Mythical Pokémon! Of course, there's a price to participate. The entry fee is any type of treasure you've got on hand! |
| Hiker | OK, I'll give it a whirl! |
| Masked Man (1) | Sure thing! Hey, you! Hurry up and lay out the Poké Balls! |
| Masked Man (2) | Yes, sir! |
| Steven | ... ... ... |
| Hiker | I think this one looks like a winner! |
| Hiker | And my second choice is...this one! |
| Hiker | ... ... ... |
| Masked Man (1) | Too bad! You didn't find the Pokémon! |
| Hiker | Darn! |
| Lass | Let me try! |
| Camper | Me too! |
| Masked Man (1) | Sure! Go ahead, make a line! |
| Masked Man (1) | Oh, what a shame... You almost had it! Great job finding that first Pokémon, though! |
| Camper | Aw, shucks! |
| Masked Man (1) | Now, we'll be keeping these treasures we collected from you, as was agreed! Geheheheh! |
| Hilbert | That's weird... If the probability of finding both Pokémon is 50 percent, why isn't anyone winning? |
| N | Because the probability isn't really 50 percent. |
| Hilda | What do you mean? |
| N | The 50 percent probability only applies to the first guess, where two out of the four options are correct. But on the second guess, you've got three options, and only one is a winner. So the probability of selecting that winner is just one in three. If you calculate the overall probability of picking a Pokémon twice in a row, the odds are actually one in six. |
| Hilda | What?! That's not even close to 50 percent! |
| Steven | Yeah. Plus, it looks like there's another reason why nobody's winning. |
| Masked Man (1) | Make sure you set them out CORRECTLY. Got it? |
| Masked Man (2) | Heheh. Yeah, yeah, I know! |
| Hilda | Hey! He just swapped out one of the balls! They took away one of the winning Poké Balls! It's impossible to win now! |
| Hilbert | That's some dirty, rotten cheating right there! |
| Steven | Yeah...but if we try to point that out, I'm sure they'll play dumb. |
| Hilda | As long as nobody notices their tricks, they can just keep taking advantage of people! They’re using this festival to cheat people out of their precious treasures! How could anyone stoop so low?! |
| Hilbert | Do we really have to just stand here and watch this? |
| Hilda | Ugh! This is so frustrating! Isn’t there something we can do?! |
| N | Hmm, there might be something. I have an idea. |
| Hilda | Huh? What kind of idea? |
| N | Sometimes you have to fight foul play with some foul play of your own. |

| Masked Man (1) | So, who's our next challenger? |
| N | I'll do it. |
| Masked Man (1) | Excellent. And what treasure will you be offering? |
| N | How about this? |
| Masked Man (1) | A pendant with a rock on it? It just looks like a rock. Is this thing actually valuable? Oh well. It'll do. Hey, line up the balls! |
| Masked Man (2) | Yes, sir! |
| N | Hm... I'll start with that one. |
| Masked Man (1) | Well done! Your first guess is correct! But we'll see about the next one... |
| N | Next, that one. |
| Masked Man (2) | Wh-whaaa?! |
| Hilda | Hooray! You won! |
| Hilbert | Nice, N! |
| Masked Man (2) | B-but how? |
| Masked Man (1) | We only put one correct ball there in the first place, so there's no way you could've— |
| Lass | Huh? What did you say just now?! |
| Masked Man (1) | Uh... Oh, I mean, no! That was just, uh...a figure of speech! |
| Camper | That means it was impossible to win! |
| N | That's right. The way he was usually setting it up, there was no possible way to win. And yet, for some reason, you put two correct balls out in front of me... Why would you do that? Were you distracted by some sort of illusion? |
| Masked Man (1) | What would an illusion have to do with— Ohhh, I get it now. Zoroark can make people see illusions! You tricked us! |
| N | I'd say that goes for you as well. At any rate, the game's over. Now if you'd just return the treasure I— |
| Masked Man (1) | Shut up! Here's your trashy treasure! |
| N | Ah! |
| Hilda | H-he smashed it to pieces! N! I've had enough of this! Let's take down Team Break together! |
| N | Yes. Let's. |
| Masked Man (1) | You think YOU'VE had enough? What about us?! Hey, you! Get over here! |
| Hilbert | If it's three we're up against, then I'm joining you two! |
| Hilda | Let's go! The three of us together'll really teach 'em a lesson! |
| Masked Man (1) | Ngah! |
| Masked Man (2) | Th-they got us! |
| Hilda | Now you're gonna give back every single treasure you took from people here. You got that?! |
| Hilbert | And about that Mythical Pokémon you claimed to have as a prize... |
| Masked Man (1) | That was just a lie to get people to play the game! We haven't caught any Mythical Pokémon! |
| Hilbert | *sigh* I thought that was probably the case. |
| Hilda | I've had enough of your lies! If you try anything awful like this again... |
| Masked Man (1) | Eeek! We won't—we promise! |
| Steven | That was a good battle. I'd love to battle with you all myself sometime. |
| Hilda | Yeah, definitely! |
| Hilda | Ahhh, that felt good! |
| N | I'm so sorry, Hilda. The present you gave me—it... |
| Hilda | Oh, you don't need to worry for my sake. |
| N | But... |
| Hilda | The only thing they broke was that pendant. They can't break our memories, you know? Instead of a pendant, let's just etch today's memories into our hearts! |
| N | You're right... Thanks, Hilda. |
| Hilda | It's all so beautiful. But now it's going to end. I wasn't finished enjoying the festival... |
| Hilbert | I think we already enjoyed it quite a bit. |
| Hilda | But I wanted to hang out with you two even more! |
| N | It...really is beautiful. |
| Hilbert | What was that, N? |
| N | I'm sure today's memories will live on forever in my heart. That's how beautiful this is. When you first invited me to the summer festival, I thought I should refuse because I didn't really know how to properly enjoy one. I felt guilty that I wouldn't be able to truly enjoy it with you. But both of you were so kind to me, Hilda and Hilbert. I had a wonderful time with you tonight. That really was fun. Thank you for inviting me. I'll never forget the moments we shared today. |
| Hilbert | Same! |
| Hilda | I won’t either, N! |
| N | And...I don't want it to end with just tonight. I hope I can go to another summer festival again with you two. And we'll make more memories just as fun as the ones we made today. |
