From Kitakami—Prelude (Japanese: キタカミの里から　序章 From Kitakami - Prologue) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pair Carmine & Sinistcha. It was followed by the story event From Kitakami—Continued.

The "Carmine Poké Fair" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Carmine & Sinistcha from the beginning of the event to September 6, 2025.

This event featured event points, a currency that players could earn 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 a Support Move Candy Coin. 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 Carmine & Sinistcha to obtain +0.6× bonus points; Arven & Mabosstiff, Penny & Sylveon, or Nemona & Pawmot to obtain +0.4× bonus points; and any unlisted sync pairs with the Paldea theme skill to obtain +0.2× bonus points.

Plot

Having arrived in Pasio, Carmine reads an information board to learn about the island. She angers herself as she reads about Lear and Pasio, asserting that Blueberry Academy is just as good. Nemona suddenly approaches her, claiming to have heard her from afar. She waves over Arven and Penny, who follow after her. As Carmine greets the three, she asks where Juliana is. When Arven reveals that she too is on Pasio, Carmine is angered that she did not come to greet her, then runs off in search of her. Nemona laments over not being able to have a conversation with Carmine, prompting Arven to assure her they will have the chance to talk later.

Trivia

• This is the first story event since A Special Present to include only a single named story area. Unlike A Special Present, this story event contains no introductory story area, making it the shortest story event.
• This is one of only seven story events that do not award any medals, and it is the only one of those to have debuted after medals were introduced to the game.
