From Kitakami—Continued (Japanese: 続・キタカミの里から Sequel - From Kitakami) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Kieran & Hydrapple and Carmine & Sinistcha. It was a follow-up to the story event From Kitakami—Prelude.

First run

The event first ran from August 18 to 28, 2025. The "Kieran Master Fair" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Kieran & Hydrapple from the beginning of the event to September 27, 2025.

In this run, players could earn event points by completing battles. Players received rewards based on the number of points accumulated, including 5★ Scout Tickets, a Field Move Candy Coin, a 5★ Power-Up, and medals. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day.

The player could battle using Kieran & Hydrapple or Carmine & Sinistcha to obtain +0.6× bonus points; Juliana & Koraidon, Paulo & Lycanroc, or Tina & Flareon to obtain +0.4× bonus points; and any unlisted sync pairs with the Paldea theme skill to obtain +0.2× bonus points.

This event featured the Battle Challenge, where players were challenged to defeat a team of strong opponents. Players could complete event missions by clearing these areas with one or fewer sync pairs fainting and sync pairs with specific theme skills on the team.

For the duration of this run, a splash screen featuring art of Carmine & Sinistcha and Kieran & Hydrapple was displayed when opening the game.

Second run

The event reran again from August 30 to September 19, 2025 as a bonus event in the Trainer Tales Championship. This run only contained the story areas; the battles and event points did not return. In addition, no missions were available, and no medals could be earned.

Plot

Sometime after Carmine ran off to find Juliana, Juliana brings Carmine and Kieran to meet the player, Paulo and Tina at Pasio Academy. After introductions are made, Carmine asserts that Pasio Academy is nothing compared to Blueberry Academy. Kieran apologizes for his sister's rudeness, but Carmine retorts that the ex-Champion of the League Club needs some pride so others will respect them. In response to Paulo's confusion, Juliana explains that Blueberry Academy's League Club operates the BB League, with Lacey herself being one of their Elite Four. Kieran explains that he was their Champion until Juliana arrived as an exchange student, and he lost his title to her. When Tina asks if Carmine has any titles, Carmine admits that she doesn't have any, being too busy with extracurricular activities, but she claims her own strength is beyond any of their Elite Four. Juliana then proposes a three-on-three match between schools to settle the debate. Tina, Paulo, and the player agree, with Tina remarking that Pokémon battles are a shortcut to being friends, something Kieran finds comforting.

The Pasio students end up victorious, much to Carmine's dismay. She declares that would have crushed them if they could Terastallize on Pasio as well. Then, Lear and Professor Bellis arrive to remark that it could be a possibility: just like how sync stones enable Mega Evolution and Dynamaxing, Professor Bellis believes they can enable Pokémon to Terastallize as well. She borrowed a Tera Orb from a Paldean Trainer to test how it reacted to sync stones and determined that sync stone energy might be able to activate Terastallization. Lear has dubbed it "Sync Terastallization" and says it's only hypothetical at the moment, as they have yet to find anyone who can actually do it. Juliana, Carmine, and Kieran discover their usual technique with the Tera Orb don't work, so Carmine promptly declares that she will be the pioneer of Sync Terastallization before running off to storm Pasio Academy.

Kieran sighs and goes off to find Carmine with Paulo in tow, and eventually they run into Blue, Wally, and Hop. After explaining the situation to them, Blue theorizes that Kieran, having just arrived on Pasio, is unable to Sync Terastallize because he's just unfamiliar with using sync stones. He asks Wally and Hop to demonstrate, so Wally Mega Evolves his Gallade and Hop Dynamaxes his Cinderace. Blue explains that to fully draw out the sync stones' power, a Trainer must have a strong bond with their Pokémon and a strong conviction, citing the feeling of wanting to beat your rival as an example of the latter. At Paulo's inquiry, Kieran admits that while Juliana is his friend, she's also much stronger than him and he would have to be as strong as Nemona to be her rival. Blue calls him out for being meek, saying that if he has a strong desire to beat someone and never lose to them, then that's his rival regardless of what others think. Wally adds that his rival is someone he looks up to, and Kieran could just ask Juliana to be his rival if he's not certain. Hop chimes in to remark that there are other ways of competing aside from strength in a battle, and one has reason to be confident if there is something they are better at than their rival. Paulo suggests that Kieran make his goal to Sync Terastallize before Juliana and see if he feels more comfortable calling her rival after that. Kieran ponders that not everything should be about winning and gets the courage to become Juliana's rival. With that settled, Blue declares they start his Sync Tersastallization training.

Meanwhile, Tina finally spots Carmine, having just finished a battle with Hoenn Elite Four Phoebe and discovering how to Sync Terastallize in the process. After Phoebe leaves, Carmine brings up Tina's remark from before about becoming friends and asks her to look after her brother if they do become friends. She brings up a time where Kieran caused a lot of trouble after getting carried away trying to win, and asks her to lend an ear if he's stressed. Tina promises that everyone on Pasio will help look out for him, though she's also surprised that Carmine does care for her brother. After calming down, Carmine remarks that Tina reminds her of a friend who's kind of an idiot.

Later, the Kitakami siblings show off Sync Terastallization, to the praise of Juliana, Bellis and Lear. Juliana feels bummed out that she couldn't grasp the technique, and Kieran draws up the courage to ask Juliana to be his rival. After a moment's pause, Juliana recalls that he asked something similar before—to start over from zero and be friends again—and admits that she always saw him as a rival. She then asks the two to teach her how to Sync Terastallize.
