Plot

Akari and Rei are caught in a space-time distortion on Pasio, surrounded by aggressive wild Pokémon. Akari's Pokémon have been knocked out, though Rei's Hisuian Decidueye is still standing. Akari sees something sparkling, so she asks Rei to cover her while she runs and retrieves it. She thinks it looks a bit strange, but she grabs it and throws it at a Hisuian Samurott that appeared in the distortion.

Akari and Rei manage to make it out of the distortion, and they wonder where they are, since it does not seem to be Hisui. They hear other voices nearby, and are shocked to discover that they belong to Lucas and Dawn, two people who look just like them. Lucas and Dawn are equally shocked, but they quickly guess that these are Rei and Akari, the people Adaman and Irida told them about when they met. Akari and Rei are confused, so Lucas and Dawn introduce themselves and explain that they are from Sinnoh, and Rei and Akari have ended up in the future. Rei suspects that they were brought here by the space-time rift, and he says it is a familiar feeling. However, he notes to himself that he has not forgotten about the people he met in Hisui. Dawn suggests that they go find Adaman and Irida, which Akari and Rei are happy to do.

When they arrive in town, Akari marvels at all the huge, sparkly, clean buildings and the fact that people and Pokémon live together like it is normal. Rei says that it feels kinda familiar, even though it is the future, and Akari wonders if it is the world Rei originally came from. At Dawn's request, Rei explains that he is not originally from Hisui but rather was sent there by a space-time rift, and Lucas remembers Adaman and Irida mentioning someone like that. Dawn asks if it has come full circle and now Rei is back in his original world, but Rei says that while he does not remember clearly, he thinks this world feels a little different than the world he came from originally. Rei says that he's happy to be part of the Galaxy Team's Survey Corps, and Akari comments that the Galaxy Team is composed of people from all different regions coming together to work in harmony, just like on Pasio. Dawn says that's completely different from the Team Galactic they know, and Lucas says it would have been nice if they had not changed.

Adaman calls out to the group, and Rei turns around to greet him, only to be surprised by the appearance of Giratina. Adaman appears alongside Irida, and Rei asks what they are doing with Giratina. Adaman says it is someone's partner Pokémon, prompting Cynthia to walk out from behind it and greet Rei and Akari, noting their resemblance to Lucas and Dawn. Rei is surprised again, and he comments that Cynthia looks like someone he knows. Adaman knows who Rei is referring to, and he is ecstatic that he got to see Rei and Akari's shocked reactions. Cynthia formally introduces herself as a researcher of myths, and Irida explains that Cynthia wants to hear stories about the Hisui region. She says that Cynthia also has interesting stories to share, and she starts to introduce Giratina to them, but Rei already knows its name—he has seen it before. Irida says that she was shocked when she learned that Giratina is a Pokémon that can go toe-to-toe with Palkia and Dialga, which shocks Akari too. Adaman also mentions that there are Trainers on Pasio who have formed sync pairs with Dialga and Palkia, including Lucas. Irida explains what a sync pair is, and Adaman explains that they have formed sync pairs with their Pokémon—including placing them in Poké Balls—so they can learn more about how Pokémon and people coexist. Rei is surprised by this, but he decides that he will follow their lead and work hard as a sync pair. Akari agrees, since she wants to become a worthy opponent for Rei. Cynthia says she would appreciate it if Rei and Akari would help her with her research into space-time distortions and rifts, which Rei and Akari are happy to help with.

A few days later, Dawn and Barry are training with Rei on the beach, and Dawn is impressed with how quickly he has gotten used to Pasio. Rei says that part of him still remembers being a Trainer in the world he is originally from, so that makes using modern Poké Balls and being a sync pair easy for him. Barry comments that it must be tough being sent to different worlds over and over again, and Rei says it is a little confusing, but no matter what world he is in, people and Pokémon live together, and everyone helps him out. So, he is going to return the favor and help everyone else to the best of his ability.

Meanwhile, Lucas and Akari are training in the forest. Akari tries using her sync move with her Pikachu, but it does not work. Lucas says that sync stones do not work well with Poké Balls from Hisui, but Akari says her Pokémon are scared of modern Poké Balls. Lucas theorizes that since a Poké Ball is meant to be like a home for a Pokémon, Akari's Pokémon are comfortable in the Poké Balls she made and do not want to leave them. Akari says her Pokémon are also confused by Pasio because it is so different from Hisui, and she worries that she will never be able to take her first step as a sync pair. She thinks about the fact that Adaman, Irida, and Rei's Pokémon have all adapted to Pasio quickly and wonders if she is doing something wrong. Lucas assures her that she is not doing anything wrong, that different Pokémon adjust at different rates, and there is no need for her to rush. However, Akari is frustrated that she said she would become a worthy opponent for Rei, but he has surpassed her yet again. Lucas says he gets it—he was a mentor to Dawn and taught her a lot, but she quickly got better at Pokémon battling than him. He says they need to keep trying their best to get stronger and show Rei and Dawn what they can do. Lucas does not want to push her Pokémon too hard, though, so he suggests that she try to form a sync pair with a new Pokémon while hers are still getting used to the new environment. Akari realizes that she has a new Pokémon that she caught in a Pasio Poké Ball, and she sends out the Hisuian Samurott that she caught in the space-time distortion.

Later, Lucas, Akari, and Irida have a battle against Dawn, Rei, and Adaman in the Pasio arena, while Barry and Cynthia watch. Adaman, Irida, and Rei are surprised when Akari sends out Samurott, since they have never seen her battle alongside it before. Lucas says that Akari and Samurott have been growing fast as a sync pair, and Akari says that it was only thanks to Lucas's help. Then she tells Rei that even in this new land, she is still aiming to become a worthy opponent for him, and Rei tells her to show him how strong she has gotten. Lucas tells Dawn that he feels the same way as Akari, and everyone sends out their Pokémon and prepares to battle.

A few days later, Cynthia and Rei are investigating Pasio's ruins when Rei notices something sparkling on the ground. Cynthia says she has never seen anything like it before, and notes that it has a similar shine to a sync stone. She comments that Giratina has been interested in this area for a while and wonders if a special power lurks here. Rei says that this place looks really similar to ruins he saw in Hisui, and Giratina reacts to something. Rei takes a defensive posture like he is expecting something to emerge from the ruins, but nothing appears. Rei apologizes and tells Cynthia it is nothing, but privately he wonders if it is possible. As Cynthia and Rei leave the ruins, something yellow and spiky runs along the ground behind a pillar...

Script

Pokémon Center (event conversation)

Name	Text
Akari	We can be wonderful sync pairs!
Akari	This is a place where people and Pokémon walk alongside each other! We can grow strong here! And I want to be a proud sync pair!
Rei	You're so motivated, Akari! I'm gonna work even harder in this new land of Pasio!

A Crisis

Name	Text
(Inside a space-time distortion; Rei, Akari, and Rei's Decidueye are surrounded by wild Pokémon)
Akari	Ahh...
Rei	(Great... First we end up who-knows-where, and now we're stuck in a space-time distortion!) (Akari's Pokémon are knocked out, and we've run out of items...) (What can we do against these powerful wild Pokémon?)
(Something sparkles on the ground a short distance away)
Akari	Is that...? Rei, cover me! I'm taking a chance!
(Akari runs off)
Rei	Got it! I'm counting on you, Decidueye!
(Decidueye attacks the wild Pokémon while Akari reaches the item)
Akari	It looks kind of strange, but...please work! Hiyah!
(Akari throws the item at a wild Hisuian Samurott)

On an Island with Pokémon

Name	Text
(Rei and Akari walk out of the forest)
Akari	Phew...
Rei	We made it somehow.
Akari	Y-yeah, it seems so... By the way... Where...are we? It doesn't feel like Hisui...
Rei	(I know this feeling...) (But...)
???	There was a space-time distortion around here, right?
Rei	Who's there?!
(A bush rustles)
???	Whoa?!
Akari	A-are you from a nearby village?!
(Lucas and Dawn emerge from the bushes and look shocked)
Lucas	Huh?!
(Rei and Akari are shocked)
Dawn	They look just like us!
Lucas	So that means...
(Lucas and Dawn approach Rei and Akari)
Dawn	Um... Are you Rei and Akari?
Rei	Wha—how do you know our names?!
Lucas	Adaman and Irida told us about you two. They said they have friends in Hisui who look just like us.
Akari	You know Adaman and Irida?!
Dawn	Yup. They mentioned you when we met a while back...
Akari	So we ARE in Hisui?
Rei	What's going on?
Lucas	Ah, sorry to confuse you. Maybe we should start with introductions, huh? I'm Lucas, and this is Dawn. We're from Sinnoh...the Hisui region in the future.
Rei	!!!
Akari	What?!
(Lucas and Dawn explain more to Rei and Akari)
Akari	I see...but how could something like this happen?
Rei	The space-time rift...
Akari	Huh?
Rei	I think the space-time rift brought us here. If so, then things make a lot more sense. I remember this feeling. I don't remember how I got here this time either, but...
Akari	Rei...
Lucas	Yeah, that must be it. Adaman and Irida came here through a space-time rift too.
Rei	(That's right. Adaman, Irida, and Akari...) (I haven't forgotten about the people I met in Hisui...)
Dawn	Both of them are in town, so let's go see them! I think they'll be happy to see some familiar faces!
Akari	Yeah, that's true! Please take us to them!
(City; a few sync pairs are scattered around as Dawn, Lucas, Rei, and Akari show up)
Dawn	I contacted Adaman and Irida, so they should be here soon...
Akari	All these huge buildings! And they're so clean and sparkly! Here on Pasio, people and Pokémon live together like it's normal. So this is the future... It's a little shocking!
Rei	It's weird... Even though this is the future, it feels kinda...familiar?
Akari	Then...maybe this is the world you originally came from, Rei!
Dawn	The world you came from?
Rei	Yeah. I'm not actually from Hisui. Or the time it existed... A space-time rift sent me to Hisui from somewhere else. So this has happened to me before.
Dawn	Whaaat?! You're kidding!
Lucas	Actually, Adaman and Irida were saying there was someone who came through a space-time rift...
Dawn	So it's come full circle, and you've made it back to your original world, like Akari said?
Rei	No... My memory is faint, but this world still feels a bit different.
Akari	I see...
Rei	I'll be fine, Akari! I'm used to being part of the Galaxy Team's Survey Corps now!
Dawn	The, uh, "Galaxy Team" back in your time is surveying Pokémon in the Hisui region, right?
Akari	That's right! So you already know all about it! People from all different regions have come together, just like on Pasio! At our base of operations in Jubilife Village, we work hard and help each other out every day!
Dawn	That's completely different from the Team Galactic we know...
Lucas	It would have been nice if they hadn't changed...
???	Hey! Long time no see, Galaxy Expedition Team!
(Rei and Akari turn in the direction of the voice)
Rei	Oh, Adama—
(Giratina appears)
Rei	Whoa?!

The Myth Researcher

Name	Text
(Giratina stands in front of Rei and Akari)
Rei	Th-that's...
???	Rei! Akari! It's so good to see you again!
(Adaman and Irida walk out from beside Giratina)
Rei	Adaman! Irida! But that Pokémon...!
Adaman	Hahaha! Even you're surprised! Apparently it's this Trainer's partner.
???	So you two are Rei and Akari?
(Cynthia walks out from behind Giratina)
Cynthia	You really do look like Lucas and Dawn.
Rei	Oh! You're—!
Cynthia	What's wrong?
Rei	No...it's nothing. You just look like someone I know.
Adaman	Yeah, she does look similar, doesn't she? Just as I expected! I'm glad I got to see your shocked faces!
Irida	You fool...
(Cynthia walks up beside Adaman and Irida)
Cynthia	Allow me formally introduce myself. I am Cynthia. I'm an archeologist researching myths about Pokémon. I've heard a lot about you two from Adaman and Irida.
Irida	Cynthia wants to hear stories about our time... Stories about the Hisui region.
Adaman	Even a story that means nothing to us could be valuable in this era. It's funny how time flows, isn't it?
Irida	Cynthia has some interesting stories too. This strong-looking Pokémon is—
Rei	Giratina...
Irida	You already knew, Rei?
Rei	Yeah, well...I've seen it before.
Akari	Rei is a brilliant member of the Survey Corps!
Adaman	Absolutely!
Irida	The first time we heard about Giratina, we were both shocked. I couldn't imagine there was a Pokémon who could go toe-to-toe with mighty Palkia and Dialga!
Akari	With Dialga and Palkia?!
Adaman	That reminds me: there are people here on Pasio who understand mighty Dialga and Palkia, and walk alongside them. Lucas is one of them.
Irida	He's formed a sync pair with mighty Dialga!
Akari	Sync...pair?
Irida	Here on Pasio, a sync pair is a Pokémon and a human whose hearts share a strong connection.
Adaman	We wanted to learn more about how people and Pokémon could coexist... so we asked our Pokémon to stay in Poké Balls.
Rei	You use Poké Balls now?!
Adaman	Yeah. People and Pokémon in this era work in harmony and help each other. We've realized that using Poké Balls isn't wrong. We can still coexist with Pokémon.
Irida	That's right... Because of my experiences back in Hisui, I can now believe it's possible.
Rei	I see. Then I'll follow in your footsteps... and work hard as a sync pair!
Akari	Me too! After all, I'm trying to become a worthy opponent for Rei!
Dawn	Both of you are so positive!
Lucas	If you ever have any issues, we'll help you out!
Cynthia	Seems like we're going to have more tough sync pairs on Pasio. Oh, by the way! If you have a bit of time while you hone your skills as sync pairs... There's still so many things we don't know about space-time distortions and rifts. I would appreciate it if you two would help me with my research.
Rei	Of course! We'd be happy to help!
Akari	Leave it to us! Surveying is the Galaxy Expedition Team's specialty!

As Rivals...

Name	Text
(Beach; Rei and Decidueye are training with Barry and Dawn)
A few days later...
Dawn	Wow! You're getting used to Pasio very quickly! And you're already using modern Poké Balls, no problem!
Barry	You're really growing as a sync pair too!
Rei	I think some part of me still remembers being a Trainer in the world I'm originally from—the one I lived in before Hisui. My memories are fuzzy, but they're there.
Barry	I see... It must be tough, being sent to different worlds over and over again.
Dawn	Yeah... It must be confusing, not knowing what to do.
Rei	Yeah, it's definitely confusing being sent to another world again...but that won't change what I'm going to do. In every world I've been in, people and Pokémon live together, and everyone helps me out. I only met Decidueye because I went to Hisui.
(Decidueye cries out)
Rei	So, right now... I'm going to do what I can to help everyone to the best of my ability! ... I guess?
Dawn	Wow... You're tough, Rei!
Rei	OK! Let's get back to training!
Barry	All right! I'm gonna go even harder on you!
(Forest; Akari and her Pikachu are training with Lucas)
Meanwhile...
Akari	Now, Pikachu! Let's use our sync move!
(Pikachu uses an electric attack, but no sync move activates)
Akari	Didn't work again...
Lucas	That's the kind of Poké Ball that's used in the Hisui region, right? If I remember correctly, Rei said that sync stones don't work well with Hisuian Poké Balls.
Akari	True. But my Pokémon are scared of these new modern Poké Balls.
Lucas	I guess because a Poké Ball is meant to be like a home for your Pokémon... Maybe they're comfortable in the Poké Balls you made, and don't want to leave them.
Akari	They also seem to be confused by Pasio... It's so different from Hisui. I'll never be able to take my first step as a sync pair like this.
(Flashback to Adaman and Irida with their Leafeon and Glaceon)
Akari	It seems like Adaman and Irida's Pokémon have adapted to Pasio pretty quickly...
(Flashback to Rei with his Decidueye)
Akari	Even Rei's Decidueye, and they're all from Hisui too.
(Back to present)
Akari	Am I doing something wrong?
Lucas	Don't worry, I'm sure that's not it. Every Pokémon's different, even if they're from the same place. So it makes sense that they'd adapt differently too. Adaman and Irida also had trouble adjusting to life on Pasio at first. Time will solve everything, so no need to rush!
Akari	Yes, but... I said I would become a worthy opponent for him, but he's gone and surpassed me yet again...
Lucas	A worthy opponent for...Rei?
Akari	Yes.
Lucas	Oh...I see. I understand your feelings. You don't want to fall behind someone you helped mentor, right?
Akari	Huh?
Lucas	I was a mentor to Dawn, and I taught her a lot... But she got better at Pokémon battling than me in no time.
Akari	Really?
Lucas	Yup! So before we start feeling sorry for ourselves, let's try our best! Let's get stronger together and show Rei and Dawn what we can do!
Akari	Lucas... That's right! We have to show them that their mentors still have what it takes!
Lucas	Yup! That's the spirit! Though I don't think it's a good idea to let Pikachu and the others push themselves too hard... How about this? While your Pokémon get used to this new environment... Why don't you try getting to know a new Pokémon? Though there aren't any wild Pokémon on Pasio...
Akari	A new wild Pokémon...
(Akari and Lucas both think for a moment)
Akari	That's it! I DO have a new Pokémon! I caught it in a Pasio Poké Ball!
Lucas	Wait, how?!
Akari	I caught it in the space-time distortion.
(Akari sends out Samurott)
Akari	Maybe I can form a sync pair with it!

The Next Daybreak

Name	Text
(Arena; Lucas, Akari, and Irida face off against Dawn, Rei, and Adaman)
Barry	Fight hard, everyone! Ahh, I wanna battle too!
Cynthia	I wonder how much everyone has grown as sync pairs.
Rei	(I wonder what Pokémon Akari teamed up with...) (Is it her Pikachu, or maybe...?)
Akari	All right, let's go!
(Akari sends out Samurott)
Adaman	Hm? That Pokémon is...!
Irida	Has it ever battled alongside Akari before?
Rei	Samurott? Is that the one you caught in the space-time distortion?!
Akari	It sure is! I decided to become a sync pair with Samurott!
Lucas	Akari's Samurott managed to get used to the Poké Ball and Pasio's environment very easily. Since then, they've been growing fast as a sync pair!
Akari	It was thanks to Lucas's help! Rei... Even in this new land with new friends... I'll still aim to become a worthy opponent for you! No matter how far ahead you are...I'll catch up to you, I promise!
Rei	Of course! Bring it on! Show us how strong you've gotten in this new land, Akari!
(Rei sends out Decidueye)
Irida	It seems that Akari has changed here on Pasio, too.
Adaman	Yeah, we can't fall behind either.
(Adaman sends out Leafeon)
Irida	We're more experienced than you two when it comes to being a sync pair!
(Irida sends out Glaceon)
Lucas	Dawn! I feel the same way Akari does! I won't lose to you...as your mentor!
(Lucas sends out Infernape)
Dawn	Good! Just what I wanted!
(Dawn sends out Torterra)
Adaman	Let's not waste any time, and get on with the battle!
(The two teams face off against each other; transition to the ruins)
A few days later...
(Rei and Cynthia are walking through the ruins with Giratina when Rei spots something sparkling on the ground)
Rei	Hm?
Cynthia	Is something wrong?
Rei	No, something was—
(Cynthia walks over to him, and they both look at the sparkling stone)
Rei	What is this?
Cynthia	I've come to these ruins many times, but I've never seen anything like it... It has a similar shine to a sync stone, but... Let's take it back and have a closer look. For some reason, Giratina has been interested in this area for a while... Maybe some sort of special power lurks here.
Rei	Huh...Giratina was interested?
Cynthia	Yes, but these ruins aren't even real. They were constructed and designed based on ruins from different regions, but...
(Rei walks over to examine the ruins more closely)
Rei	You know, this place looks really similar to ruins I saw in Hisui.
(Giratina cries out)
Cynthia	Is something the matter? Now Giratina's acting up.
(Rei looks up at the ruins and then turns around suddenly, but there is nothing behind him)
Rei	... ... ... ...It's nothing, sorry.
Cynthia	Is that so...?
Rei	(Could it be...?) (There's no way...is there?)
(Rei, Cynthia, and Giratina leave the ruins as a yellow Pokémon runs behind a pillar)

Trivia

This event references Travelers from a Distant Past multiple times:
- Dawn mentions that Adaman and Irida mistook her and Lucas for Rei and Akari when they first arrived on Pasio
- Lucas says that she mentioned people who came to the past through space-time rifts.
In this event, Cynthia says that her Giratina has taken an interest in Pasio's ruins, which was demonstrated in the villain event Galactic Nightmare as well as the Sinnoh chapter of the Villain Arc.
- Notably, both of those story areas were added to the game before Pokémon Legends: Arceus was released.
The Pokémon that appears in the ruins at the end of this event appears to be a Togepi. Combined with Rei's and Giratina's reactions to the ruins, this may suggest that Volo is in the ruins.
This event's first run was the first time 5-Pack Drink Sets were made available.
