A Day with Irida

Scottie stopped by a cave while [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] was out exploring and found Irida and Glaceon.

Scottie! Did you come here to beat the heat too?

It's nice and cool inside this cave. It's much more comfortable than outside, isn't it?

Well, it's cool compared to the temperature out there, anyway. It's still pretty hot in here.

Huh? You think so?

The sun's up high and the air's humid.

I don't do so well in hot weather... Sometimes I come here to cool off.

After Glaceon let out a cry, a cool breeze came flowing in.

That's my Glaceon! You really know me well!

Yep! I grew up in a very cold place, and Glaceon is like family to me!

Yep! Glaceon is like family to me, so we understand each other's thoughts perfectly.

That's why I was a little uncomfortable putting my Glaceon inside a Poké Ball.

It felt like we wouldn't be equals anymore, like it would make me her "master."

But I made up my mind soon after that.

Poké Balls aren't for restraining Pokémon. They create bonds of trust.

There was someone who taught me that. Someone who overcame numerous obstacles together with Pokémon in the land of Hisui.

It's the same for all the Pokém, no, all of you sync pairs, on Pasio.

They all look so happy together, with strong bonds and trust in one another.

So the relationship that people and Pokémon have in this space isn't so different, right?

Yeah! They're friends, and also family! We'll live together with them forever and ever!

Yeah! Every step we take, we do it together with our Pokémon!

I want Glaceon and I to really understand each other, just as much as any other sync pair on Pasio!

The world really is a vast place... There are so many things to see that I never knew about.

I want to tell everyone in Hisui that using Poké Balls to coexist with Pokémon isn't a mistake!

So with that in mind, Glaceon and I have to be Poké Ball pioneers...

as the Pearl Clan's first sync pair!

There's just one small issue.

Pasio's so hot that if I don't have Glaceon out, I'll melt from the heat!

I guess Glaceon won't be spending too much time in her Poké Ball after all...
