Reason: Missing plot summary

Solve the Case! (Part 2) (Japanese: 事件の謎を追え！　後編 Follow the Mystery of the Case! Part 2) was a costume event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Zinnia (Special Costume) & Thievul and Lyra (Special Costume) & Phanpy. This event's story was a continuation of Solve the Case! (Part 1).

During this event, players could earn vouchers from battles that could be redeemed in the shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The player could battle using Zinnia (Special Costume) & Thievul or Lyra (Special Costume) & Phanpy to obtain +0.6× bonus vouchers; Steven (Special Costume) & Stoutland, Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki, Looker & Croagunk, or Emma & Crobat to obtain +0.4× bonus vouchers; and any unlisted sync pairs with the Hoenn or Johto theme skill to obtain 0.2× bonus vouchers.

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 teams using various theme skills, earning medals and other rewards.

In addition, players could earn a medal for completing all the story areas in the event.

First run

The event first ran from April 13 to May 2, 2023. The "Zinnia Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Zinnia (Special Costume) & Thievul for the duration of the event, and the "Lyra Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Lyra (Special Costume) & Phanpy starting on April 15, 2023, and lasting until the end of the event.

In this run, the type of voucher that players could earn was Event Voucher G. Event mission rewards included medals, Gems, Battle Points, a Tech Move Candy Coin, and a Support Move Candy Coin, with 200 Gems as a reward for completing 10 missions.

Second run

The event reran from March 11 to 25, 2024. The "Super Spotlight Costume Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Steven (Special Costume) & Stoutland, Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki, Zinnia (Special Costume) & Thievul, and Lyra (Special Costume) & Phanpy for the duration of the event.

In this run, the type of voucher that players could earn was Event Voucher P. Event mission rewards included medals and Gems, with 1,000 Gems as a reward for completing all missions.

Due to a bug, when the rerun began, only Challenge Team Break: Part 1 counted towards the requirements for Missions 1–6. This issue was resolved on March 14, 2024, so that completing any of the designated areas would be counted correctly, and any of the designated areas that players had already completed were reflected in the count.

Script

Pokémon Center (event conversation)

Name	Text
Zinnia	What should we steal tonight?
Zinnia	That costume looks pretty good on you!
Lyra	Really?!
Zinnia	Yeah, it's got grunt vibes for sure.
Lyra	Hehe, thanks!
(Lyra pauses)
Lyra	Wait, should I be happy about that?

Beginning of the Real Case

Name	Text
(Villa; Lear, Agatha, Lyra, Steven, Looker, Burgh, Shauna, Guzma, and Melony are gathered; Steven and Shauna are wearing their special costumes)
Steven and seven other sync pairs completed Lear's mystery game. But once the game was over, someone stole Guzma's partner Pokémon!
Guzma	Who did this?! Who took my Golisopod?!
Shauna	Calm down, Guzma!
Guzma	Don't tell me to calm down! Someone just STOLE my Pokémon!
Steven	Hm? Hold on, Guzma.
(Steven walks up behind Guzma)
Guzma	Wh-what is it?!
Steven	Don't move. There's something stuck to your back.
(Steven takes the note off Guzma's back; fade to black)
Steven	"Punishment of justice for the dark obstructer. —The Phantom Imaginate"
(Transition to the streets of the city at night; Zinnia is standing atop a roof)
Zinnia	Now then, what shall I steal tonight?
(Zinnia jumps off the roof and changes into her special costume)
Zinnia	What do you think...
(Zinnia glances back at her Thievul)
Zinnia	Partner?

Phantom Imaginate

Name	Text
(Villa)
Shauna	"The dark obstructer"?
Lyra	Huh? What's a "Phantom Imaginate"?
Burgh	Hmm... Is this part of the game?
Lear	No, I know nothing of this!
Lyra	So that means...Golisopod really was stolen?
Looker	In that case!
(Looker strikes a pose)
Looker	It's time for me, a member of the International Police, to step in! Steven! After seeing your detective skills, I want to ask you something. I'd like your help investigating this Phantom Imaginate person so we can catch them!
Steven	Of course! I'd be happy to assist.
Shauna	I'll help, too! I was the culprit in the game, but I'll do my best to assist this time!
Lyra	We'll help out, too!
Guzma	You better be ready, Phantom! I'm gonna find you and crush you!
(City; Steven is talking to Emma and Looker; Shauna arrives)
Shauna	I've collected some information about the Phantom Imaginate. ♪
Steven	Did you come across anything that could be a clue?
Shauna	Um... Let me tell you what I found, in order. Apparently, the Phantom Imaginate is a recent urban legend going around Pasio. They say anything you ask the Phantom Imaginate to steal will be stolen... If you want to send a request, you give your letter to Thievul, the Phantom's partner Pokémon. But whether or not they accept your request is up to the Phantom. If the Phantom is accepting requests, does that mean they don't want anything for themself?
Looker	I've found something peculiar on my end, too. I checked to see if the Phantom was involved in any prior incidents. But the Phantom Imaginate doesn't show up in any theft reports.
Steven	Even though they leave messages? That's odd...
Looker	Based on what Shauna said, the Phantom's existence is questionable, which explains why there's so little information.
Emma	I know as much as Mister Looker. I've never heard of them before.
Looker	Their existence is questionable...but Guzma's partner Pokémon was definitely stolen. We can at least confirm that there's someone out there calling themself the Phantom Imaginate.
Steven	Calling themself the Phantom, huh...
???	Aaaaaaahhh!
Shauna	A scream?!
Steven	Let's go see!
(Steven, Looker, Shauna, and Emma run into an alleyway)
Looker	Are you OK?!
(Zinnia and Thievul are standing behind a Lass)
Zinnia	... ... ...
(Zinnia turns around)
Looker	Hey, wait!
(Zinnia and Thievul disappear; the group approaches the Lass)
Steven	That was...
Shauna	Are you OK? What happened?
Lass	My Pokémon was stolen! sob
(Steven notices something on the Lass's back)
Steven	This again!
(Fade to black)
Steven	"Punishment of justice to the unsightly flame. —The Phantom Imaginate"
(Back to alley; a mysterious tone plays)
Shauna	"Unsightly...flame"?
Looker	The Phantom Imaginate?! Is that who we just saw? Let's chase after them! Come on, both of you!
Shauna	Y-yes!
Looker	Emma, look after the girl!
Emma	On it!
(Looker and Shauna run down the alley while Emma approaches the Lass; Steven walks a few paces away; fade to black)
Steven	(Zinnia...are you the Phantom Imaginate?)

Similarities between the Victims

Name	Text
(City; Looker and Shauna approach a Team Galactic Grunt)
Looker, Shauna, and Steven chased the so-called Phantom Imaginate.
Team Galactic Grunt	Argh, why did you take my partner Pokémon, Phantom Imaginate!
(Steven arrives)
Shauna	Steven! There's another message from the Phantom!
(Fade to black)
Steven	"Punishment of justice for a heartless galaxy. —The Phantom Imaginate"
(Steven is thoughtful)
Shauna	"Heartless galaxy"... I knew it! Steven, Looker! I wanna talk to the girl from earlier!
Steven	You noticed something?
Looker	Sure thing! I'll ask Emma to bring her here.
(Emma arrives with the Lass)
Emma	I brought her, Mister Looker!
Lass	Th-there's something you want to ask me? I don't do well with police or detectives...
Shauna	I want you to be honest with me. You're with Team Flare, aren't you?
Lass	Wh-what? What's that? I don't know anything about that...
Shauna	Hmm... Go, Team Flare! Go, go, Team Flare!
Lass	F to the L to the A-R-E!
Shauna	I knew it! She's from Team Flare!
Lass	Huh?! Drat! Indeed! I'm from the stylish Team Flare!
(The Lass changes into a Team Flare Grunt and poses)
Steven	How did you know she's part of Team Flare?
Shauna	I noticed it when I read the Phantom's messages! For Guzma, it was "the dark obstructer." For the Team Galactic member, it was "a heartless galaxy." The messages were referring to which teams they belong to... So I guessed that "the unsightly flame" might be Team Flare.
Steven	Great job, Shauna!
Looker	That means the Phantom Imaginate is targeting people who belong to evil organizations?
Team Flare Grunt	The Phantom is quite infamous among people like us... They're a pain in the neck who steals back things we stole.
Looker	That's why there aren't any reports of incidents caused by the Phantom...
Shauna	So the stolen Pokémon were originally someone else's?
Team Flare Grunt	No! I caught my Liepard!
Looker	It's not easy for me to believe you...
Shauna	I don't think she's lying! She looked really sad when her Pokémon was stolen! And you know Guzma really cares about his Golisopod, right? Even if these people did bad things in the past, that doesn't mean they're the same now!
Steven	Shauna...
Team Flare Grunt	... ... ...
Looker	OK, for now, let's believe what this Team Flare member is saying.
Steven	But if that's true, then why did the Phantom change their mind about what they're stealing? I don't think the Phantom is trying to take the law into their own hands.
(Flashback to when Steven and the others saw the Phantom)
Steven	If the Phantom Imaginate is who I think it is...
(Back to present)
Looker	Hmm... I guess we can't tell what the Phantom's true intentions are, but we can't let them cause more harm. We have to take them into custody as soon as possible...
???	I heard everything!
(Lyra appears)
Lyra	I think I can help you out!

Fake Evil and Fake Justice

Name	Text
(Steven, Shauna, Looker, and Emma are gathered near the fountain in the city; Lyra arrives wearing a Team Rocket grunt's uniform)
Lyra	Ta-da! I'm Lyra, the Team Rocket grunt!
Emma	Whoa, you look evil!
Lyra	Don't worry, this costume isn't real. It's just pretend! The Phantom Imaginate is going after villainous organizations, right? I'll be a decoy and lure the Phantom out!
Looker	That's a good plan, but I can't put you in such a dangerous role...
Lyra	Don't worry! Phanpy will be with me! She might look small, but she's super powerful! The Phantom won't know what's coming!
Shauna	Hehe, how reliable. ♪
Steven	Are you sure?
Lyra	Yep! Leave it to me!
Looker	We'll be here for support, but...don't push yourself too hard!
(Transition to the square at night; Lyra and Phanpy stand in the center, while Looker, Shauna, Emma, and Steven watch from afar)
Steven and the others waited until dark to carry out their decoy plan.
Steven	Now...let's see if the Phantom will show up...
Shauna	Oh, look!
(A Thievul appears in the square)
Steven	Thievul! That means the Phantom is nearby!
(Thievul sneaks up behind Lyra, aiming for her Phanpy; Lyra and Phanpy suddenly turn around)
Lyra	Gotcha!
(Phanpy knocks Thievul back)
Lyra	Everyone, now!
Looker	Got 'em!
(Looker, Emma, Steven, and Shauna send out their Pokémon to surround Thievul and head into the square)
Looker	All right! Just as planned! Now, show yourself, Phantom Imaginate! Your partner is already in our custody!
???	How dare you get in my way!
(A Masked Ace Trainer appears)
Looker	You?
Masked Man	Yeah, I'm the Phantom Imaginate! The one who brings justice by punishing evil! Why would you stop me?! I'm saving Pokémon who're being forced to obey villains!
Shauna	Being forced? Have you even looked at the relationship between those people and their Pokémon?!
Masked Man	Why would I? It's a Pokémon caught by a villain! Of course it's sad! I'm in the right because I'm saving these poor Pokémon! And all of you standing in my way are evil!
(The Masked Man sends out Liepard, Golisopod, and Bronzong)
Looker	Wha— Those Pokémon!
Masked Man	Yes! These are the Pokémon I saved from those villains! Now, go and retrieve Thievul!
(The Pokémon hesitantly approach Looker and the others)
Masked Man	Fight all you want! The only ones that'll get hurt are these poor Pokémon!
Looker	Grrr... How cowardly!
(The Pokémon retreat, allowing the Masked Man's Thievul to return to him)
Masked Man	Hahaha! The tables have turned!
Steven	What are you actually trying to do here? I can't feel any love for Pokémon from you... Saving them is just a front, right?
Masked Man	What am I trying to do? Well...
(The Masked Man pauses, then smirks)
Masked Man	I bet it would feel really nice to be praised as a chivalrous thief! The mysterious Phantom who punishes evil! Sounds cool, right?!
Shauna	That's your reason?!
Masked Man	What do you mean, "That's your reason?!" Are you insulting me? Hmph, enough! Let's finish this!
(Fade to black)
???	I agree...
(A second Thievul knocks out the Masked Man's Thievul; Zinnia appears)
Zinnia	Enough of your boring stories.
Steven	Zinnia?!

You Need Some Imagination

Name	Text
Masked Man	Who are you?!
Zinnia	You don't need to ask, do you? You of all people should know! Right? Mister impostor?
Masked Man	You... You're the real Phantom Imaginate?!
Lyra	What?! What's going on?
Steven	I knew it. You were the real Phantom Imaginate.
Masked Man	G-go, Pokémon!
(The Pokémon reluctantly charge at Zinnia)
Zinnia	sigh You don't get it, do you.
(Zinnia's Thievul stops the Masked Man's Pokémon)
Emma	Wow! That stopped those Pokémon in their tracks!
Zinnia	The rest is your job, right? Get a move on!
Looker	Oh, r-right! Capture him!
(Looker and Emma apprehend the Masked Man)
Masked Man	D-darn it!
Steven	Thank you, Zinnia. Because of you, we were able to get the stolen Pokémon back.
Zinnia	What are you talking about? Don't feel like you need to thank me. I was only... looking for this!
(Zinnia leaps over to the Masked Man)
Masked Man	Ah!
Zinnia	I'll be taking this!
(Zinnia jumps away and lands on a roof, holding something in her hand)
Lyra	A Poké Ball?!
Shauna	It doesn't look like Guzma's or anyone's Pokémon...
Steven	Zinnia! What did you take?!
Zinnia	Curious, are you? Then try to figure it out! You're good at deduction, right? I'll be on my way.
Steven	W-wait!
Zinnia	Oh, one more thing. You look better in that detective outfit than in your normal clothes, Mr. Rich Kid!
(Zinnia runs away and disappears)
Steven	Wha?!
Emma	She's gone...
Shauna	Steven! Your back! There's a message!
(Steven takes the note off his back)
Emma	What does it say?
Steven	"You need some imagination. —The Phantom Imaginate"
(Steven pauses and chuckles)
Steven	Ah, Zinnia...
(Villa; Guzma, the Team Flare Grunt, and the Team Galactic Grunt's Pokémon return to them)
Guzma	Hey, Golisopod!
Team Flare Grunt	Liepard, I'm so glad to see you again!
Lyra	I guess this case is closed! But I wonder why Zinnia stole that Poké Ball from the impostor.
Steven	If the rumors of the Phantom are true, Zinnia must have gotten a request from someone, but... Who? And for what reason?
Lyra	Maybe the person who asked had a reason why they could only ask the Phantom...
(Shauna looks at Guzma, the Team Flare Grunt, and the Team Galactic Grunt interacting with their Pokémon)
Shauna	Hehe... I think I've got it. ♪
Steven	Hm?
(City at night; Zinnia is talking to a Team Rocket Grunt)
Zinnia	Here, I've completed your request.
(A Rattata runs up to the Team Rocket Grunt)
Team Rocket Grunt	Rattata! I'm so glad you're OK! You know...this one isn't the strongest, but it's my important partner. I can't believe the Phantom Imaginate actually exists...
Zinnia	You sent me a request even though you didn't believe?
Team Rocket Grunt	I had to believe after seeing all those messages and having my Pokémon stolen... That's why I looked for Thievul and sent the letter saying, "I want Rattata back."
Zinnia	And it ended up getting to the real one. Well, the impostor was never taking requests anyway. Tons happened while I was chasing the impostor... Getting this wasn't easy, you know.
Team Rocket Grunt	I really appreciate it. Thank you. Hey, do you think it's weird?
Zinnia	What's weird?
Team Rocket Grunt	That I do bad stuff but Pokémon are important to me...
Zinnia	Nah. I don't think that's weird at all.
Team Rocket Grunt	Oh...
Zinnia	We'll be going.
Team Rocket Grunt	Yeah...
(Zinnia and Thievul vanish)
Team Rocket Grunt)	Shall we go as well, Rattata?
(The Team Rocket Grunt and Rattata run off; Zinnia and Thievul watch them leave from a rooftop)
