Reflecting on the Changes on Pasio

Heh. You're all pretty good.

Leave it to Lear to pick the best of the best.

He wanted us to teach you about Terastallizing, but I don't think I've anything more to say.

Thanks, you two!

Now we're fully prepared for the festival!

... ... ...

Anyway, rich people really know how to make things flashy, huh?

I can't believe he's hosting a festival just to showcase Sync Terastallizing.

According to Lear...

Sync Terastallizing is the result, the crystallization, of people and Pokémon's hard work!

So I shall formally demonstrate to the world the relationship between Pasio's people and Pokémon!

He was really pumped.

Hmph! He's just showing off!

By the way, I heard in a Pasio Academy lecture...

a Pokémon's Tera Type is normally the same as its original type, right?

But our Pokémon's Tera Types are different. Why's that?

Maybe your partner Pokémon are special?

I heard there are also wild Pokémon whose Tera Type is different from their original.

Oh, I see!

In any case! We taught you how to Sync Terastallize, so you better nail it at the event!

Of course! Leave it to us!

A few days later...

Today's the day, the next chapter of Pasio shall be written into history!

Sync stones have given people and Pokémon a new way to shine!

And we call this...Sync Terastallizing!

Allow us to show you firsthand!

Now, at this celebratory occasion, all you sync pairs will have a chance to get to know one another better!

Let's go all out and make the most of this festival!

Incredible!

Red's Charizard has always been able to Mega Evolve into a Dragon type.

But now that he can Terastallize, he's even more dragon-like!

Now, as you all know, when we say "dragon Pokémon"...

we don't mean just Dragon types!

Really?

Yeah. For every dragon user, there are just as many ways to battle!

So by Terastallizing, Pokémon like Gyarados and Aerodactyl can become "Dragon" in both name and reality!

Lance just keeps going on and on!

Hahaha! Well, to summarize...

Sync Terastallizing can stir battles up more than ever! Isn't that right?

... ... ...

And with Mega Evolution, too...maybe Red's destined to connect with Dragon types!

Charizard also seems happy his Tera Type is Dragon!

If that's what you sense, Iris, then it must be true.

That's right! Dragons are sacred and legendary creatures!

And you being the living legend, Red, I think it really suits you.

At this point, you might as well become a dragon master. What do you think?

Well...I suppose you never were the kind of Trainer to be boxed into one type!

I wonder how far Red and Charizard will go.

Do dragon Pokémon even have a limit?

Let's all keep soaring so we can keep up with Red!

Hi there, Gloria, Cinderace!

You two are shining bright!

Ehehe! Thank you!

Let me introduce you to my friend.

Hello. I'm Larry. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Oh! A business card!

Um, I don't have one, will this work instead?

That's very kind of you. Thank you.

(It's the same as when I met Kabu. A League Card from the Galar region.)

I tried to make it fancy. What do you think?

Yes, it's quite unique...

Gloria, may I ask you something for my next class?

It's about your Cinderace. Why did you choose Rock as his Tera Type?

Oh, well...I didn't really choose it. He was like that from the start.

Larry, is it true you can change Tera Types freely?

Yes. The restaurant I frequent offers it as a service.

Apparently, if you give them a certain item, they'll make you a special dish that lets you change a Pokémon's Tera Type!

I see... I didn't know such a dish existed.

I hope we can try it someday!

Please do. It's a nice restaurant with a special feel to it.

Are you a foodie, Larry?

As much as your average person, I suppose.

Larry knows a lot about Pasio restaurants, too!

Interesting! In that case...

Would you happen to know any good curry places in Paldea?!

I want to try some when I visit one day!

Hmm... Curry... Paldea doesn't have a ton of places, but...

Huh? You want to learn about Gym Leaders?

Yes! That's why I wanted to talk to you, because you're an "Ice-type Gym Leader"!

We heard about you from Mr. Samson.

So we thought you could teach Irida some things!

Mr. Samson? Oh, must be that surfer.

Um! So what does one have to do to become a "Gym Leader"?

...You seem really excited.

I am! Learning about the unknown makes my heart sparkle!

It must be fate I met a "Gym Leader" like you, Grusha, who can Terastallize!

By learning about the unknown, I've been able to broaden my world.

Many people from Hisui seem to like learning about the unfamiliar!

Yeah! It must be how they explore this vast world!

Being brave is cool and all, but...

Stepping into the unknown can be dangerous. It's not always sunshine and rainbows.

Doesn't that scare you?

Nope! Not me.

When we step into the unknown, we encounter new challenges.

And as we overcome them, we've no choice but to adapt.

I believe mighty Palkia built this vast space...

so that people and Pokémon can explore and change for the better.

Yeah, if we're always scared of hardship and failure, we'll never explore the world!

And even if things don't go so well...

the people and Pokémon we meet along the way might be able to help us!

You're all rather optimistic.

Your naivete is...kinda uncool.

But I can feel your passion.

Just so you know, being a Gym Leader is as harsh as the snowy mountains.

If you regret it later, that's on you.

I'm up for the challenge! Please, lend me your knowledge!

The shine of Terastallizing is amazing, but...

I think the moments I shine brightest are in a serious battle against my rival!

Yeah! Me too!

My battles against Gloria and Victor get super competitive!

Yeah, I feel like my battles against my rivals like Calem and the others were always shining!

Right?!

I was actually slightly ahead of Serena at first.

That time I taught her how to catch Pokémon really takes me back.

I was supposed to be a step ahead of my rival too, since I became a Trainer with Wooloo before they did.

Does that mean Calem and Hop were both more experienced Trainers?

Yeah, Calem was the more experienced one at first. Then we became rivals!

I remember thinking a really talented neighbor had moved in next door!

And of course, I was disappointed to lose so many times during our journey.

It's the friend who's always by your side that makes you not wanna lose!

That joy and frustration when you meet a worthy competitor... I SO get it!

I'm getting fired up just thinking about it!

Let's ripen your skills and train hard, as if to surpass those who came before us!

Lacey is from Nimbasa City. She's Clay's daughter!

Oh my! Then perhaps we're meant to connect, Lacey!

We are the Subway Bosses of Nimbasa City's famous Battle Subway!

We also established the Pasio Subway!

It's a battle facility in a cave, and it uses minecarts!

Although to establish it, we had to negotiate with Clay regarding the land.

He declined at first but agreed after we explained what we were trying to do!

Wow! I had no idea!

I was pleased to hear him praise my Excadrill!

Hehehe. Oh, Daddy...

Today's the perfect opportunity to challenge the Subway Bosses!

Lacey! Let's challenge them to a tag battle!

Great idea! I'm in!

You two up for it?

Why of course, our answer is always yes!

We'll show you our best combination! Perfect! Let this spectacular battle begin!

OK! Let's give it our all, Sprigatito!

Hey, Florian! I heard about your situation!

I'm gonna dig up everything there is to know about you!

Huh? Uhhh...

You already know so much about us.

And yet, I know nothing about you! That's not fair!

Carmine...

Starting over from zero must feel weird for you, Florian. But...

Do you think you'd wanna...

Of course!

Kieran! Carmine! Will you be friends with me?

I'd love to, Florian!

Their friendship hasn't changed even though they're from different worlds. I'm a bit jealous.

Hey, Florian. It's not like I don't believe your story, but...

This won't feel right until I see your skills firsthand!

So with that said...

Hey! No fair, Sis! I was gonna battle first!

The big sis goes first! That means the little brother has to wait!

I guess nothing's changed with those two.

Um... Since the four of us are here, why don't we have a team battle?

Yeah, great idea!

*sigh* I guess...

All right, Fuecoco! Let's show them what we're made of!

That was SO much fun!

The festival was fantastic! I loved chatting and battling with everyone.

... ... ...

Most importantly, that sparkle of you three Sync Terastallizing... I'll remember it forever!

I'm sure we'll have more chances to see Sync Terastallizing!

This era and Pasio will both keep on changing!

You FOOLS!

Always stirring up trouble the moment I look away! You're not getting away with it today!

It seems Lear and the others haven't changed.

Looks like they're having fun, though!

Let's keep the good times coming too... and enjoy this event till the end!

Yeah! Since we're all here, we should battle!

Time to show our shine one last time!

This will be our brightest moment, one that lives in everyone's hearts forever!

Let's have a fun battle!
