Shine a Gentle Light (Japanese: 街を照らす優しい明かり A Gentle Light Illuminating the City) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Jasmine (Holiday 2022) & Ampharos and Whitney (Holiday 2022) & Sawsbuck.

Plot
At the snow-covered town, Whitney finds Jasmine worrying over her Ampharos, who appears to be fatigued. Whitney leads Jasmine to the Pokémon Center to get Ampharos looked at, but Trista is unable to find anything wrong with its health. She suspects Ampharos could be upset due to being in a new environment, like Pasio, and suggests the remedy may be to cheer her up somehow. Whitney decides that the best way to do this would be to throw a party
Working with Erika at the town, Jasmine pushes herself to prepare the party before sunset. Ethan joins the two and volunteers to help, worried about another instance of an Ampharos falling ill. This prompts Jasmine to explain to Erika how Ethan had helped Amphy in the past, and how her Ampharos had been raised to become Amphy's successor.
Elsewhere, Whitney recruits Siebold to prepare a feast for the party. She mentions to him that there is a certain ingredient she is looking for, but doesn't specify what it is. Suddenly, there is a rumbling sound, and some nearby Trainers point out that some lights have suddenly turned off.
Jasmine, Erika, and Ethan find Volkner, who they learn has triggered a blackout after trying to set up some lights for the party. Jasmine explains to the others that she had met Volkner in Sunyshore City while visiting the lighthouse, saying she had heard rumors about him. When Volkner asks what she means by this, she hesitates to elaborate. Volkner offers to show them more inventions of his, but Jasmine is quick to shut him down.
Meanwhile, Whitney and Leon are having a battle as Nessa stands by to watch. When they finish, Leon gives Whitney a certain item as a gift for accepting his challenge. Nessa attempts to ask her why she needs the item, but Whitney doesn't answer, abruptly encouraging the two to come to the party.
After the sun sets, Jasmine and Whitney begin their party, thanking all of the guests for their help with setting it up. As everyone mingles, Trista stops over by Jasmine to ask about Ampharos. To everyone's delight, Jasmine announces that Ampharos seems to be feeling better. Whitney then comes over to give Jasmine and Ampharos a gift—a drink made from Moomoo Milk and several other energizing ingredients. Jasmine gives some to Ampharos, and the drink succeeds in cheering her up. Jasmine is relieved, but suddenly, her eyes fall shut and she collapses.
Everyone crowds around Jasmine, and Whitney tearfully asks Trista if she is okay. In the distance, Cyrus and his Commanders notice a light shining from the village. The light reminds Cyrus of a lighthouse's beacon, and he notes its ability to guide someone down the right path. He then moves on with his group, believing to have no use for such a thing.
Finding herself in a dark void, Jasmine searches for her friends. She sees a bright flash of light, then decides to run after it, believing it will bring her home. Soon after, Jasmine regains consciousness as her friends stare over her. While everyone else celebrates Jasmine waking up, Whitney yells at her for fainting, then turns away to cry. Jasmine apologizes, then thanks Whitney for worrying about her. She speaks with her, managing to cheer her up, and the party continues.
The day after the party, Jasmine tells Ampharos that she knows it was her light that guided her home. Although it is snowy outside, Jasmine notices that she doesn't feel cold at all. Turning to see Whitney nearby, Jasmine realizes that her world is kept warm by those close to her.

Jasmine | Maybe I can prepare some lights for everyone. |
Jasmine | If everyone is having a fun time under the lights, I'll feel happy as well. |
Whitney | Me too. Seeing someone smile makes people happy! Like this! Right, Jasmine? |
Jasmine | *chuckle* That smile never fails to make me feel better, Whitney. |

(Town, covered in snow) | |
Jasmine | Ampharos...are you OK? |
(Whitney arrives) | |
Whitney | Mornin', Jasmine! It's me, the cheerful Whitney! |
(Whitney approaches Jasmine) | |
Jasmine | Good morning, Whitney... |
Whitney | Wh-what's the matter? Are you feeling down? |
Jasmine | The thing is...Ampharos doesn't seem to be doing so well. She looks tired. I'm worried she might be sick... I wish there were some kind of medicine that would make her feel better... |
Whitney | Medicine, huh... Maybe she should get a checkup! Come with me, Jasmine! |
(Pokémon Center, decorated for the holiday; Trista is examining Ampharos) | |
Trista | I've looked her over, but it doesn't seem like there are any health issues. If there is a reason, it might be related to her feelings. To me, it seems she might be feeling a little isolated and sad because Pasio is a new environment for her. |
Jasmine | So, to make Ampharos feel better... |
Trista | Maybe we need to lighten her mood? |
Whitney | If that's the case, I have a great idea! Let's throw a party to cheer Ampharos up! |
Trista | Oh, a party! I think that's a wonderful idea. |
Jasmine | I'd love to organize it together...for Ampharos's sake! |
Whitney | OK then, let's start preparing! First of all, we should change our outfits! Let's get dressed in something super flashy, Jasmine! |
Jasmine | M-me too? |
Whitney | Of course! Come on, let's go! |
Jasmine | I don't need to be too flashy... |
Whitney | Trista, if you have time, please come to the party, too! We'll let you know when it's ready! |
Trista | Yes! I'll be looking forward to it. |

(Town; Erika and Jasmine are wearing their holiday outfits) | |
Erika | I can't wait to see how those decorative lights you put up will shine, Jasmine. |
Jasmine | Sure! I'll try hard to make them look pretty! |
Erika | Jasmine, don't you think you should rest a little? Haven't you been preparing since morning? |
Jasmine | No...I'm fine. Whitney is working really hard for this party. I shouldn't be the only one having a rest. I need to finish this by the time it gets dark. |
Erika | Try not to push yourself too hard, OK? By the way, is Whitney preparing food? |
Jasmine | Yes! She's asking a cook to make a feast! She also said she'll gather a lot of attendees. Speaking of feast...I wonder what'll be served... |
Erika | I see. Jasmine is looking forward to the feast... I'll have to take note of this... |
Jasmine | Ah! Don't be mean, Erika! |
(Erika laughs) | |
??? | Jasmine! |
(Ethan appears) | |
Ethan | I'm here to help with the party! I heard from Whitney that you're looking for people to invite. |
Jasmine | Thank you so much, Ethan! |
Ethan | I also wanted to see how Ampharos was doing. I was worried it was another case of an Ampharos getting sick... |
Erika | Another case? |
Jasmine | Oh! You see, Ethan helped me out once before, when another Ampharos was sick. He got medicine for us. But this Ampharos is different from Amphy at Olivine City's lighthouse. There was a Mareep the lighthouse keeper was raising as Amphy's successor. I started to look after her, and she evolved into Ampharos. One day, I want this Ampharos to be like Amphy... To shine her light across the ocean from the lighthouse and protect the boats at sea. |
Ethan | But first things first. For that to happen, we need Ampharos to get better. OK then! Let's get started with the prep! |
(Village; Whitney is talking to Siebold, both wearing their holiday outfits) | |
Whitney | So, I want you to cook up a feast for our party. |
Siebold | No problem. That will be a piece of cake. |
Whitney | OK! Great! And...I have another thing I'd like to ask. You're a cook, so you must have different kinds of ingredients, right? There's a certain one that I'm looking for... |
Siebold | Ingredients? I don't mind giving you ingredients, but I can't assure you I'll have what you need... |
Whitney | Oh, no worries! If you don't have it, I'll just go out and look for it! |
Siebold | I see. By the way, your outfit stands out quite a bit. Are you going to wear that to the party? |
Whitney | Yup! Ain't it the cutest? If I stand next to Sawsbuck, it's a cuteness overload! I got her from a Trainer in Unova...and when I first met her, she was a small Deerling. She was just the cutest thing ever, so I raised her good, and now she's evolved into a splendid Sawsbuck! When the two of us are together, everyone falls in love with us! |
Siebold | It's true that you attract attention... But I can't determine whether that's because you look fascinating or because you look strange... |
Whitney | Hey! What's with that comment?! You should say stuff like, "Oh that outfit really suits you!" Or maybe... "You look cute!" You need to praise us first... |
(Something rumbles) | |
Camper | Whoa! The light over there went out! |
Poké Fan | It's a blackout! |
Whitney | A blackout?! But why?! I wonder if Jasmine's OK with her lights... |

(Town) | |
Volkner | Oops... I must've upped the voltage too much... |
(Jasmine, Ethan, and Erika arrive) | |
Jasmine | I came here hoping this wouldn't be the case, but it seems the reason for the blackout is here... |
Volkner | I thought maybe you could use these new lights I invented as decorations... But it seems Pasio's power grid couldn't handle the burden. |
Erika | Did you ask Volkner to help out with the lights? |
Jasmine | Y-yes... Since Volkner is an electrical expert, I thought to ask him for help... I met Volkner when I stopped by the lighthouse in Sunyshore City... And I also heard rumors about him, so... |
Volkner | Rumors? Like what? |
Jasmine | Um... That you, uh...stand out, in many ways... |
Volkner | Hahaha! In many ways? That's true! |
Erika | People don't just mean his Pokémon battles, do they. |
Volkner | Though, it is a shame. There were other inventions I wanted to try out... |
Ethan | What kind of inventions?! |
Volkner | I'm proud of them. Using this one, we can double or even— |
Jasmine | N-normal is fine! Normal lights will be just fine! |
Volkner | You sure? Never mind, then... |
Ethan | I kinda wanted to see what it would look like... |
Erika | I suppose having too much expertise can also be troublesome at times... |
Jasmine | I agree... |
(Village; Leon and Calyrex are battling Whitney and Sawsbuck, while Nessa watches; Leon and Nessa are wearing their holiday outfits) | |
Leon | OK then! That's all for today! |
Whitney | Phew. I'm so tired... Battling a Champion is really tiring... |
Leon | As promised, this is to thank you for accepting my challenge! |
Whitney | Thanks a bunch, Mister Champion! |
Nessa | I heard you're preparing for a party, so why do you need that? |
Whitney | Um... Well... Anyway, be sure to come to the party! We'll be waiting for you! |
Leon | Oh, sure! See you later! |

(Town at night; Whitney, Jasmine, Leon, Siebold, Volkner, Ethan, Erika, Skyla, Rosa, Trista, and Nessa are all gathered; the ones who have holiday outfits are wearing them) | |
Whitney | Hey, y'all! Thanks for waiting! It's time to get this party started! Jasmine, would you like to say a few words? |
Jasmine | Hello, everyone. Thank you for helping us with our party preparations. We organized this party to cheer up Ampharos... but I hope everyone else can enjoy it, too. Please brighten up this party with your beautiful smiles. |
(Everyone cheers and begins talking) | |
Trista | How is Ampharos? |
Jasmine | I think she's enjoying herself. She seems to be feeling better now. |
Ethan | Good. I'm relieved to hear that. |
Volkner | Yeah! It seems like this party was a success. |
Whitney | Hehehe! We're not done yet! I have a special present for Ampharos, who wasn't feeling well—and Jasmine, who worked super hard! It's a medicine that'll give you a boost of energy, made by yours truly! I used Moomoo Milk as the base and added all sorts of other things—Honey, Lum Berries, a Revive... It has a lot of things that'll make you feel energized! |
Jasmine | Wh-Whitney! Thank you! |
Whitney | Drink it and you won't feel tired anymore! The light on Ampharos's tail might just get dazzlingly bright, too! |
Volkner | That would be amazing! Shall we ask Ampharos to drink it? |
Jasmine | Y-yes! How is it? Ampharos... |
(Ampharos cries out happily) | |
Erika | It seems like the medicine was super effective. |
Volkner | Hahaha! I can feel her energy overflowing! |
Jasmine | I'm so...glad... |
(Fade to black; a thud is heard) | |
Whitney | J-Jasmine?! |
Volkner | Whoa! You OK? |
Ethan | W-we need to help her! |

(Everyone is gathered around Jasmine, who is lying on the ground) | |
Whitney | Trista! Is Jasmine OK?! |
Trista | ... ... ... |
(Path outside the village; Cyrus and Saturn walk past, but Saturn spots a light gleaming in the distance and stops) | |
Saturn | The lights in the villages seem brighter than usual today... |
(Jupiter and Mars appear) | |
Jupiter | I wonder if an event is going on. |
Cyrus | It looks just like a lighthouse... |
Jupiter | Huh? |
Cyrus | The light of a lighthouse guides sailors to their destination. No matter how dark the ocean is, the light guides them to where they need to go. |
Saturn | Light that guides you down the right path... |
Cyrus | Team Galactic has no use for that. We shall find and make our path by ourselves. |
Mars | Yes! Master Cyrus! |
(Transition to Jasmine walking alone in a black void) | |
Jasmine | Where...am I? Where is everyone? It's so dark that I can't see anything... Wh-what should I do? I don't know which way to go... |
(A light gleams in the distance) | |
Jasmine | That way? Will I be able to get home if I head that way? |
(Jasmine runs towards the light, and an Ampharos's cry is heard) | |
Jasmine | Uh...uhh... |
(Jasmine regains consciousness in the village) | |
Jasmine | Huh? Where am I? |
(Jasmine's Ampharos cries out) | |
Ethan | Great! You woke up! |
Volkner | You suddenly fainted, and everyone was worried. |
Erika | We were really, really worried about you. |
Trista | You must've been very tired. And when you felt relieved, the tiredness came out all at once. |
Jasmine | I suppose so... I'm sorry for causing a fuss... |
Whitney | That's not good, Jasmine! It doesn't matter if you're able to make Ampharos happy and make everyone smile! It's no good if you faint! *sniffle* Waaah! |
Jasmine | I'm sorry... And thank you so much for worrying about me... |
Whitney | *sniffle* I was really worried about you! |
(Jasmine continues talking to Whitney, and everyone is happy) | |
The day after the party... | |
(Jasmine stands alone with Ampharos in the square) | |
Jasmine | When I was lost in the dark, you showed me the way home, didn't you, Ampharos. It's OK if you don't understand what I'm saying, as long as you're by my side... It's very strange. I'm not cold at all. Even though the breath I exhale is white and it's been snowing... |
(Whitney and Sawsbuck appear and run up to Jasmine) | |
Jasmine | (I know why. It's because...there's a warm light that brightens both us and this city...) (And it's right here, so close to me.) |
(Jasmine and Whitney smile at each other in front of the tree) |
