Victor's Cooking Class! (Japanese: マサルのお料理教室！ Masaru's Cooking Class!) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Victor (Palentine's 2024) & Greedent and Candice (Palentine's 2024) & Darmanitan.
During this event, players could earn two types of tickets 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 tickets were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.
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, completing the final story area of the event would earn players a medal and allow them to exchange for a special piece of artwork for the Trainer Lodge.

Plot
As Palentine's Day approaches, Candice, Caitlin, Koga, and Gordie come to Victor and ask for cooking advice so they can show gratitude to the special people in their lives. This leads Victor to give everyone a cooking lesson. In a large kitchen, Victor has each of his cooking students set up in front of a stove. He asks them questions about who they would like to show gratitude to, and helps them choose a dish to make based on that information. For Koga's gift to Janine, Victor suggests he makes a box lunch, and for Caitlin's gift to Darach, Victor suggests making some complex sweets. When Gordie explains he wants to give something to his fans, Victor suggests making a bunch of easy-to-make sweets. Standing next to a Galarian Darmanitan, Candice tells Victor that she'd like to cook up a feast for Maylene, who has always helped her with her training. Gordie and Victor begin to ask about the Darmanitan, but are interrupted by Melony entering the room.
When Melony walks over to check in on Darmanitan, Candice reveals that the former had given her the Pokémon as an Egg. Melony mentions that she wanted to pass down her techniques to another Trainer who specializes in Ice-type Pokémon, teasing Gordie for only focusing on Rock types. She eventually leaves to allow the others to cook. Later, as Victor's students begin to finish cooking their food, he stops to review each of their dishes. Victor offers some advice to Koga and Caitlin, then helps out Gordie, who reveals he wants to bake a few cookies that stand out among the rest he is making. Victor then stops by Candice, but is shocked to see that she has cooked an exuberant amount of food.
Victor encourages Candice to prioritize Maylene's feelings over sheer abundance while cooking. Candice decides to try to learn more about Maylene's food preferences, but worries about all of the dishes she cooked going to waste. Telling Candice not to worry, Victor sends out his Greedent, which proceeds to devour everything in front of it. After Victor advises Candice to change from her cooking clothes into her everyday clothes, she sets off to meet Maylene.
While Maylene is training at the mountain, she is surprised to see Candice come over to bring her a snack. Candice tries to casually ask Maylene if she has a favorite food, but she simply says she likes anything made by Candice because it creates a memory for her. Candice lingers on the idea of memories. Later, Candice arrives in town to ask a bunch of Trainers if they can train with Maylene at a specific spot on Palentine's Day.
The holiday soon arrives, and Koga and Caitlin give their gifts to Janine and Darach respectively. Both recipients are grateful, and Darach is so touched that he is at a loss for words. Nearby, Gordie's fans are pleased with his gifts, but they are shocked to see him suddenly turn away from them and rush off in another direction. As Melony walks through the plaza, Gordie runs up to her and gives her some specially made cookies, saying it is because she was his first fan. Meanwhile, as Maylene and a few others are training with each other at the glacier, Candice and Victor show up with a large bowl of stew. Maylene recognizes the stew as something Candice had made her before when she was training on a cold day. She is overjoyed, and gladly begins to eat. As everyone enjoys the stew, Maylene laments already finishing her portion. Candice happily serves her more, and Victor enthuses about the way cooking brings happiness to everyone.

| Palentine's Day was around the corner... A sweet scent soon started to drift around town. | |
| (Pan to Candice, Caitlin, Koga, and Gordie talking to Victor) | |
| Victor | I see... You want to show your gratitude to people precious to you for Palentine's Day. |
| Candice | That's right! But we don't usually cook much... What should we do? |
| Victor | Got it! If that's the case, let me help! Let's work together so we can express our gratitude through tasty dishes! |
| (Candice cheers) | |
- Everyone's Dishes
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| (Candice, Caitlin, Koga, and Gordie are gathered in the kitchen with Victor; Victor and Candice are wearing their Palentine's outfits) | |
| Victor | Now then, let's begin our cooking lesson! To start, I'd like everyone to tell me what kind of feelings you'd like to express through your cooking and to whom. The dish and the advice I suggest will change depending on what you answer! |
| Koga | I would like to express my gratitude to my daughter Janine. She always brought me my box lunch when I was busy. |
| Victor | So why don't we make a box lunch for Janine that's full of love? |
| Koga | Yes, excellent idea! |
| Caitlin | I would like to give Darach some sweets for always helping me. But not just any sweets will do. They must be so perfect, they'll take Darach's breath away... |
| Victor | I see... Understood! For you, let's try and make sweets that are a bit more complex, Caitlin! |
| Caitlin | Yes, that would be wonderful. |
| Gordie | I'd like to express my gratitude to the many fans who always support me. |
| Victor | Then for you, Gordie, let's try sweets that are easy to make in large amounts! |
| Gordie | Sure, good idea. |
| Candice | Guess I'm up last! Maylene always helps me train, and since she's a growing girl... I'd like to prepare her an extraordinary feast! |
| Victor | So you've already decided what you want to make? |
| Candice | Yup! I really want to do well, so I even prepared this outfit! Gotta start with the look! |
| Victor | Definitely looks like you're ready to go! By the way, I noticed that partner Pokémon of yours. |
| Gordie | Yeah. Caught my eye as well. That's a Galarian Darmanitan, isn't it? |
| Candice | Oh yeah, actually... |
| ??? | How's your partner Pokémon, Candice? |
| (Melony arrives in the doorway and waves) | |
| Melony | I just wanted to check in! |
- Too Much Focus?

|---|---|
| (Melony approaches Candice) | |
| Melony | Oh, she's grown into a healthy Darmanitan. I knew you could do it. |
| Candice | Really? I'm so happy! |
| Victor | Does that mean...? |
| Candice | Yup! I raised Darmanitan from an Egg I got from Melony! |
| Melony | Since we're both Ice-type users, we get along well. I just wanted to pass down the techniques and Pokémon I'm so proud of... since a certain someone is too busy with Rock types... |
| Gordie | ... ... ... |
| (Koga laughs awkwardly) | |
| Melony | You're all practicing cooking, right? Do your best so your feelings reach those who are special to you! |
| Victor | Would you be able to help me teach everyone, Melony? |
| Melony | I wouldn't ask me that if I were you! My teaching style is very strict! Now, I should get going so I don't get in the way. See you! |
| (Melony leaves) | |
| Candice | Later, Melony! |
| Gordie | Jeez... Don't know why she decided to show up... |
| (Fade to black) | |
| The group set their goals, and the cooking lesson officially began... | |
| (Fade to Koga concentrating on his dish) | |
| Koga | How's this? |
| Victor | It-it's all dried food... |
| Koga | It has the bare minimum nutrition needed and can be stored for a long time! A perfect meal for a ninja! |
| Victor | But there's more to a box lunch than just dried food, Koga... Try to remember the box lunch Janine made for you. Let's work on making it tastier and more colorful! |
| (Fade to Caitlin concentrating on her dish) | |
| Caitlin | I am going to make the finest sweets... which is why I brought ingredients of the highest quality. I wanted to create flavors as elegant as the sweets Darach always prepares for me. |
| Victor | I see... But the most important thing is your feelings, Caitlin. Not the price of the ingredients. There have to be flavors that only you can create since you know Darach so well. That's the key! |
| Caitlin | That's true... Instead of trying to copy commercial products, I will aim to create a flavor to Darach's liking. |
| (Fade to Gordie concentrating on his dish) | |
| Gordie | How's this? |
| Victor | Wow, Gordie! As skillful as expected! These cookies are so tasty! I don't think there's much more I can teach— |
| Gordie | Well then, I have another question. I wanted to make a few special ones as a surprise. I'd appreciate it if you had any good ideas... |
| Victor | OK, how about this... |
| (Fade to black) | |
| Victor | Only Candice left... Wh-what is this?! |
| (Fade to Victor and Candice looking up at Candice's dish) | |
| Victor | Is this meal Dynamaxed or something?! |
- What Maylene Likes
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Candice | I just made as many dishes as I could! Darmanitan's fire and ice moves helped me! I saved a lot of time! |
| (Darmanitan cries out) | |
| Candice | I want Maylene to eat a lot! |
| Victor | Hmm... If it makes Maylene happy, this might work, but... If you just want to fill her stomach, couldn't she just go to an all-you-can-eat restaurant? |
| Candice | Th-that's true... |
| Victor | Why don't we think a little more about the feelings that only you can show to Maylene? |
| Candice | Hmm... Maybe I could subtly ask what Maylene likes to eat? |
| Victor | Nice! A simple but effective method! |
| Candice | But what should I do with all this food? |
| Victor | Don't worry! No food will go to waste! Counting on you, Greedent! |
| (Victor sends out his Greedent, and it starts chowing down) | |
| Candice | W-wow... It disappeared in no time! |
| Victor | Greedent always taste-tests my cooking, so I know that no matter how much food there is, he can eat everything. Now then, shall we go to where Maylene— Actually, wait... Maybe you should change into normal clothes before you go? |
| Candice | Heh, good idea. |
| (Transition to Maylene focusing on a mountain; Candice approaches her wearing her normal outfit) | |
| Candice | Maylene! I got you a snack! |
| Maylene | Wow, thanks! I was just getting hungry! |
| Candice | H-hey, Maylene! |
| Maylene | Yes? |
| Candice | You're not picky... You seem to find any kind of food tasty, don't you? |
| Maylene | Yes! |
| Candice | So, do you have a favorite food? |
| Maylene | Hmm... I don't really have a particular favorite... Oh, but I like anything if it's made by you! |
| Candice | I-I see... |
| Maylene | Yes! Each dish you've made me has become a special memory for me! |
| Candice | (Memory...) Got it! Thank you Maylene! |
| (Town; Candice is talking to a group of Fighting-type specialists) | |
| Candice | I want to ask everyone for a favor! I'd like you all to train with Maylene at a specific place on Palentine's Day. |

| On Palentine's Day... | |
| (Transition to Koga and Janine) | |
| Koga | Janine, this is for you. |
| Janine | Did you make this, Father?! |
| Koga | Y-yes... It's not much, but I wanted to show my gratitude for all that you do... |
| Janine | Wow! Thank you, Father! |
| (Transition to Caitlin and Darach) | |
| Caitlin | I hope this is made to your satisfaction. Thank you for everything that you do, Darach. |
| (Darach shakes his head wordlessly) | |
| Caitlin | Darach? |
| Darach | Apologies, Lady Caitlin... My heart is so full, and...I'm at a loss for words... |
| (Transition to Gordie surrounded by a crowd of his fans; he notices Melony walking a short distance away) | |
| Gordie | Excuse me... |
| (Gordie leaves and catches up to Melony) | |
| Melony | Oh? What's up? |
| Gordie | This is for you. It's special. |
| Melony | For me? |
| Gordie | You're technically the first member of my fan club, remember? I giving[sic] this to you as my number one fan, not as my mother. |
| (Gordie turns around and pushes his sunglasses up on his face) | |
| Gordie | So don't get the wrong idea... |
| (Gordie runs off) | |
| Melony | Thank you, Gordie. |
| (Glacier; Maylene is training with Korrina, Bruno, Brawly, Marshal, Chuck, and Bea; Bea is wearing her Palentine's outfit) | |
| Candice | I brought food for everyone! |
| (Candice and Victor arrive in their Palentine's outfits with a big pot of stew) | |
| Candice | Please eat this and warm up! |
| (Maylene and the others approach the pot) | |
| Maylene | This... You made this for me before! |
| Candice | Yup! It's Candice's special stew! |
| Maylene | Once, when I was training on a cold day... You brought this stew for me as a gift. I remember how much it warmed both my body and my spirit...and it tasted so good! |
| Candice | I also remember how happily you ate it up! Since today is Palentine's Day, I wanted to give you a taste from your memories! |
| Maylene | I'm...I'm so happy! Thank you! |
| Candice | No, thank YOU as well for always helping me train... and for being a friend! |
| (The group stands around chatting and eating the stew) | |
| Maylene | Aww... I feel so sad now that I'm almost finished eating this... |
| (Victor and Candice laugh) | |
| Candice | No need to worry! There's plenty more! |
| Maylene | R-really? Thank you! |
| Victor | Seeing people smile when they eat your food is the best kind of happiness. That's why cooking is so fun! |
