'''Avery''' (Japanese: '''セイボリー''' ''Savory'') is the [[rival]] character in [[The Isle of Armor]] in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield}}. By the events of [[The Crown Tundra]], he becomes a {{type|Psychic}} [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]].

==In the core series games==
Avery comes from a long line of psychics who run the {{type|Psychic}} [[Gym]] in [[Galar]]. However, he is considered by his family to be a disappointment due to him only possessing telekinesis, and not more impressive skills like teleportation or telepathy. Because of the pressure, he developed a very proud personality and a habit of levitating anyone who defeated him. This behavior led to his Gym Trainer's status being revoked. During his desperation and depression, he discovered the [[Master Dojo]], through his partner [[Slowpoke (Pokémon)|Slowpoke]], that would lead him to visit the [[Isle of Armor]] to train under [[Mustard]] so he could improve on inheriting the position of Psychic-type [[Gym Leader]].

He is first seen by the {{player}} at [[Wedgehurst]] Station, obtaining the [[Armor Pass]] needed to visit the Isle of Armor. Before he can get on the train, a Galarian Slowpoke appeared blocking the way, which resulted in Avery requiring the player to catch it. After complimenting on the player's capture of Galarian Slowpoke, he gets on the train for the Isle of Armor. He eventually reached his location and becomes a student at the Master Dojo. He initially caused friction with the other students, but he started to become more friendly through Mustard and his wife, {{gal|Honey}}. Although he trained hard, he became lazy from the lack of a rival and motivation to improve himself.

The player meets Avery again once they arrive at the Isle of Armor. He challenges the player to a battle off the bat, assuming they are to be the Master Dojo's new student that he has been assigned to escort. After being defeated, he attempts to scare the player away from enrolling in the Dojo, and even lies to Honey about the student in question not wanting to show up, only for the player to eventually appear at the Dojo, much to Avery's shock. He threatens the player to not tell of what transpired. During Mustard's trials, his Dojo Uniform gets stolen by Mustard's three fast Slowpoke, which the player retrieves in short order. He battles the player over the next two trials, the former over a set of Max Mushrooms he claims discovered first, and the latter as part of a formal challenge. Avery cheats during the third trial by immediately summoning Psychic Terrain. He is eventually defeated and feels guilty about playing dirty. Mustard asks Avery to look after the Dojo Pokémon afterwards.

In the post-game, after Mustard has been defeated in a final showdown, Avery can be rematched daily.

In the [[Galarian Star Tournament]], Avery reveals that he has become a minor division Psychic Gym Leader. After becoming a Gym Leader, Avery adds a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowking}} to his team, replacing his [[Galarian form|Galarian]] {{p|Slowbro}} as the last member of his team and his Pokémon of choice to [[Dynamax]].

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Avery's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Avery comes from a long-standing family of psychics. Each Psychic-type Gym Leader of Galar has been from the same bloodline as Avery, and thus, Avery has been destined to bear the burden of Gym Leader since even before he was born. Ever since he was a child, Avery could freely move things with his mind but lacked other skills, such as teleportation or telepathy. This has caused the rest of his family to label him as a disappointment. Avery has a great deal of respect for Slowpoke, as they go about their business at their own pace, no matter what others say."
;Rare League Card
:"Avery has always been very proud and would levitate any opponent who dared defeat him. This behavior caused his status as a Gym Trainer to be revoked. During this time of despair and desperation, his Slowpoke found a flyer for the Master Dojo, leading to Avery's current circumstances. Avery caused friction with many of the other students initially, but the kindness of Honey and Mustard slowly helped him to mellow out and become more friendly. Recently he has been training hard with his now-evolved Slowbro to prove himself better than a certain new student at the dojo."

[[File:Avery Twilight Wings.png|thumb|250px|Avery in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]]]
===Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
Avery appeared in ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', where he was seen levitating a fellow apprentice from the [[Master Dojo]] while he was demanding a rematch. He was then invited to the [[Galarian Star Tournament]] and was seen walking out onto the field at [[Wyndon Stadium]] for the opening ceremony.

==In the manga==
[[File:Avery Klara Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Avery in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Avery debuted in ''[[PASS31|Flutter!! Tickets to a New Land]]''. He is a student at the [[Master Dojo]] and studies under [[Mustard]]'s guidance. While training with [[Klara]] at the [[Soothing Wetlands]], Avery came across an unconscious [[Henry Sword]], suffering from the effects of {{p|Eternatus}}'s poison. While Henry recovered at the dojo, Klara was sent to greet a new student at the [[Fields of Honor|Armor Station]]. Not wanting to be left behind, Avery secretly followed Klara and witnessed her meeting [[Casey Shield]] and [[Marvin]] and mistakenly assuming they were the new students.

At the dojo, Casey and Marvin clarified that they weren't new students, much to Avery and Klara's relief. Casey and Marvin reunited with Henry and were tasked with gathering ingredients for an antidote to Eternatus's poison. At Klara's suggestion, Casey and her friends decided to collect sap at the [[Forest of Focus]]. Worried he was quickly becoming irrelevant, Avery offered to escort everyone to where the sap was located. Once the sap was successfully obtained, Avery and Klara went to deliver it to a [[Macro Cosmos]] employee.

In [[PASS35]], having been motivated by the sap-collecting excursion, Avery and Klara continued their training and successfully cleared the first trial.

'''Avery''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Peerless Fighters}} subset before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Chilling Reign}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by [[kirisAki]].

'''Avery''' (Japanese: '''セイボリー''' ''Savory'') is the [[rival]] character in [[The Isle of Armor]] in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield}}. By the events of [[The Crown Tundra]], he becomes a {{type|Psychic}} [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]].

==In the core series games==
Avery comes from a long line of psychics who run the {{type|Psychic}} [[Gym]] in [[Galar]]. However, he is considered by his family to be a disappointment due to him only possessing telekinesis, and not more impressive skills like teleportation or telepathy. Because of the pressure, he developed a very proud personality and a habit of levitating anyone who defeated him. This behavior led to his Gym Trainer's status being revoked. At some point, he obtained a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}}. During his desperation and depression, he discovered the [[Master Dojo]], through his partner Slowpoke, that would lead him to visit the [[Isle of Armor]] to train under [[Mustard]] so he could improve on inheriting the position of Psychic-type [[Gym Leader]].

He is first seen by the {{player}} at [[Wedgehurst]] Station, obtaining the [[Armor Pass]] needed to visit the Isle of Armor. Before he can get on the train, a Galarian Slowpoke appeared blocking the way, which resulted in Avery requiring the player to catch it. After complimenting on the player's capture of Galarian Slowpoke, he gets on the train for the Isle of Armor. He eventually reached his location and becomes a student at the Master Dojo. He initially caused friction with the other students, but he started to become more friendly through Mustard and his wife, {{gal|Honey}}. Although he trained hard, he became lazy from the lack of a rival and motivation to improve himself.

The player meets Avery again once they arrive at the Isle of Armor. He challenges the player to a battle off the bat, assuming they are to be the Master Dojo's new student that he has been assigned to escort. After being defeated, he attempts to scare the player away from enrolling in the Dojo, and even lies to Honey about the student in question not wanting to show up, only for the player to eventually appear at the Dojo, much to Avery's shock. He threatens the player to not tell of what transpired. During Mustard's trials, his Dojo Uniform gets stolen by Mustard's three fast Slowpoke, which the player retrieves in short order. He battles the player over the next two trials, the former over a set of Max Mushrooms he claims discovered first, and the latter as part of a formal challenge. Avery cheats during the third trial by immediately summoning Psychic Terrain. He is eventually defeated and feels guilty about playing dirty. Mustard asks Avery to look after the Dojo Pokémon afterwards.

In the post-game, after Mustard has been defeated in a final showdown, Avery can be rematched daily.

In the [[Galarian Star Tournament]], Avery reveals that he has become a minor division Psychic Gym Leader. After becoming a Gym Leader, Avery adds a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowking}} to his team, replacing his {{p|Slowbro}} as the last member of his team and his Pokémon of choice to [[Dynamax]].

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Avery's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Avery comes from a long-standing family of psychics. Each Psychic-type Gym Leader of Galar has been from the same bloodline as Avery, and thus, Avery has been destined to bear the burden of Gym Leader since even before he was born. Ever since he was a child, Avery could freely move things with his mind but lacked other skills, such as teleportation or telepathy. This has caused the rest of his family to label him as a disappointment. Avery has a great deal of respect for Slowpoke, as they go about their business at their own pace, no matter what others say."
;Rare League Card
:"Avery has always been very proud and would levitate any opponent who dared defeat him. This behavior caused his status as a Gym Trainer to be revoked. During this time of despair and desperation, his Slowpoke found a flyer for the Master Dojo, leading to Avery's current circumstances. Avery caused friction with many of the other students initially, but the kindness of Honey and Mustard slowly helped him to mellow out and become more friendly. Recently he has been training hard with his now-evolved Slowbro to prove himself better than a certain new student at the dojo."

===Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
Avery appeared in ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', where he was seen levitating a fellow apprentice from the [[Master Dojo]] while he was demanding a rematch. He was then invited to the [[Galarian Star Tournament]] and was seen walking out onto the field at [[Wyndon Stadium]] for the opening ceremony.

==In the manga==
[[File:Avery Klara Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Avery in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Avery debuted in ''[[PASS31|Flutter!! Tickets to a New Land]]''. He is a student at the [[Master Dojo]] and studies under [[Mustard]]'s guidance. While training with [[Klara]] at the [[Soothing Wetlands]], Avery came across an unconscious [[Henry Sword]], suffering from the effects of {{p|Eternatus}}'s poison. While Henry recovered at the dojo, Klara was sent to greet a new student at the [[Fields of Honor|Armor Station]]. Not wanting to be left behind, Avery secretly followed Klara and witnessed her meeting [[Casey Shield]] and [[Marvin]] and mistakenly assuming they were the new students.

At the dojo, Casey and Marvin clarified that they weren't new students, much to Avery and Klara's relief. Casey and Marvin reunited with Henry and were tasked with gathering ingredients for an antidote to Eternatus's poison. At Klara's suggestion, Casey and her friends decided to collect sap at the [[Forest of Focus]]. Worried he was quickly becoming irrelevant, Avery offered to escort everyone to where the sap was located. Once the sap was successfully obtained, Avery and Klara went to deliver it to a [[Macro Cosmos]] employee.

In [[PASS35]], having been motivated by the sap-collecting excursion, Avery and Klara continued their training and successfully cleared the first trial.

It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Peerless Fighters}} subset before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Chilling Reign}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by [[kirisAki]].

* While Avery speaks to the {{player}}, he uses various Psychic-type moves in his speeches, such as "Avery, Teleport!"
* Avery and [[Klara]] are the only version-exclusive rivals.

** At some points, it has been suggested that at least one year has passed since Ash started his [[Pokémon journey]]. However, those events did not affect Ash's age since he still remained 10 years old in the anime episodes set after those events.
*** In the English version of ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash mentions that it has been a year since he visited [[Viridian City]]. However, this remark was not present in the Japanese version.

*** It is implied that at least one year passed between ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', since it was stated in the former episode that the [[Magnet Train]] would take one year to be completed.
*[[Brock's siblings]], {{an|Bonnie}}, and [[Parker]] are less than 10 years old.
* [[Max]] is 7 years old. <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20030222163120/http://www.shopro.co.jp/tv/program/pokemon_ag/chara.html</ref>

A Festival Farewell?]]'' (the episode she mentions only Pumpkaboo remembered her birthday), making her 26 years old as of XY.
** In the Japanese version of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Jessie says that Ash and Misty are 10 years too young to get focused on romance while James adds that he and Jessie are 5 years older than that.
** In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', {{p|Necrozma}}'s aura causes all the adults to feel lazy and lethargic, with no effect on children and teenagers. This affects Jessie and James, confirming that they are adults.
** More details about Jessie:
*** [[The Birth of Mewtwo]] radio drama has a flashback twenty years before the present time, when Jessie was a young child. This indicates that Jessie is currently over 20 years old.
*** In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', Jessie falsely claims to be a 17-year-old idol (in Japanese) or diva (in English) as part of her disguise.

'''Zinnia''' (Japanese: '''ヒガナ''' ''Higana'') is a mysterious [[Draconid people|Draconid woman]] and a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Hoenn]]. She is described as a special person who holds the key to the [[Delta Episode]] in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, on a trip to accomplish her objectives.

Zinnia uses {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in battle, including a {{p|Salamence}} she can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into {{me|Salamence}} using her [[Key Stone|Mega Anklet]]. She also travels with a female {{p|Whismur}} [[nickname]]d '''Aster''' (Japanese: '''シガナ''' ''Shigana''). She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Lorekeeper''' (Japanese: '''でんしょうしゃ''' ''Lorekeeper'').

==Appearance==
Zinnia has fair skin, medium height, and a somewhat thin build. She has chin-length satin black hair and crimson red eyes. Her default attire features a ragged white cloak with black shoulder pads, gray short shorts with a red rope around the hips serving as her belt, a tight black top with two red crescent lunar symbols on her chest, a pair of knee length gray socks and open toed gray boots. Additional equipment features a spherical red hair tie, as well as a blue Mega Anklet on her right leg, where the Key Stone is attached. An alternate palette of her default appearance was introduced in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], where the tank top is gray with yellow lunar markings engraved at the breast area. The cape is deep black, and the petal rims above the sleeves are red. The shorts are black with yellow rope linings. The open-toe short boots are black, while the knee length socks are also black. She also retains the Mega Anklet on her right leg, where the Key Stone is attached, which is white.

Zinnia's alternate outfit was first seen in Pokémon Masters EX, which is titled the Special Costume. Her head mans a black top hat with a purple ribbon surrounding it. She wears a black robe with white lines and stars engraved on it. A white shirt bearing silk is under the robe, and she is equipped with white gloves. The lower portion of the attire acts like a mini-skirt in a dark brown color, and her legs wear faded brown leggings with tall black combat boots. She wears a monocle on her left eye. The alternate color for her Special Costume features the top hat, robe, and boots being white. The skirt is red, while the silk short under the robe and leggings are satin black, and the gloves on both hands are a deeper black.

==In the core series games==
Zinnia makes three cameo appearances prior to the Delta Episode, disguised as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}}. She is first seen after the {{player}} exits [[Petalburg Woods]] on the way to [[Rustboro City]]. Her second appearance is on [[Mt. Chimney]], where she is fighting against Archie{{sup/6|OR}} or Maxie{{sup/6|AS}} and tries to stop him before he arrives to Maxie{{sup/6|OR}}/Archie{{sup/6|AS}}. Her third appearance is during the montage cutscene in [[Mossdeep City]] after the player saves Hoenn from [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}.

[[File:Zinnia Granite Cave ORAS.png|thumb|left|240px|Zinnia in Granite Cave]]
After the player defeats {{Steven}} and becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, Zinnia is shown in a cutscene discarding her team's uniform. She then meets the player at their home before breaking into [[Professor Birch]]'s home and stealing {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}'s [[Key Stone]]. Later, when the player visits [[Granite Cave]] looking for a [[Meteorite Shard]] on Steven's request, she appears studying the cave's ancient painting. After a short conversation, Zinnia asks to battle with the player.

At the [[Meteor Falls]], while looking for a Meteorite Shard, the player and Steven learn from an old Draconid woman that Zinnia joined Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and manipulated them in the hopes of having Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} resurrected in order to call {{p|Rayquaza}} back to the {{pkmn|world}} to destroy the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]], being fully aware of the fact that her actions would risk the lives of many [[human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. However, as the player had managed to stop the super-ancient Pokémon, she had been forced to change her plan.

Zinnia makes another appearance at [[Mossdeep Space Center]], listening in on [[Professor Cozmo]]'s plan to send the oncoming meteoroid to [[Pokémon multiverse|another dimension]] using technology powered by the Meteorite Shards. Believing this plan will doom the world of another dimension to destruction, she destroys the device, then steals the Key Stone from the head of the team she had joined and challenges the player to meet her at the [[Sky Pillar]].

[[File:Zinnia Sky Pillar ORAS.png|thumb|240px|Zinnia at the Sky Pillar]]
After the player secures permission to enter the Sky Pillar from [[Wallace]], Zinnia explains the lore of the Draconids as they ascend the tower together. At the top floor, she uses the stolen Key Stones to summon Rayquaza to the Sky Pillar, but her plan fails when Rayquaza does not Mega Evolve despite her efforts. Just as she falls into despair, the Meteorite the player has been carrying for much of the game activates and is consumed by Rayquaza, granting it its missing power. Once the player has captured Rayquaza and added it to their party, Zinnia teaches it {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, then challenges the player to one last battle (which the player does not need to win to progress).

Once the player has gone into space with Mega Rayquaza, destroyed the meteoroid and battled {{p|Deoxys}}, Zinnia disappears from the Sky Pillar. She leaves behind a note with Aster thanking the player for their help. Later at Meteor Falls, her grandmother tells her that she should find her own purpose in life now that she is freed from her lifelong duty. She agrees and leaves her Salamencite with the player before departing. Zinnia's whereabouts after this point are unknown.

Aster seems to have been named after someone close to Zinnia who has passed away.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
Zinnia appeared in ''[[PE06|The Wish]]'', where she met {{ga|May}} at the [[Sky Pillar]] and told her the lore of the [[Draconid people]]. At the top of the tower, Zinnia summoned {{p|Rayquaza}} in order to destroy the [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteorite]] that was threatening [[Hoenn]]. However, Rayquaza lacked the energy to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], causing Zinnia to fall into despair. Thanks to May's [[Meteorite]], however, Rayquaza was able to regain the energy it required for Mega Evolution. Zinnia then allowed May to take her place in battling and {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} Rayquaza, a role that Zinnia had prepared herself for since childhood. Following this, Zinnia challenged May to a {{pkmn|battle}} as her final duty as the Lorekeeper of the Draconid people.

[[File:Draconids Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Zinnia in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
====Prior to {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Zinnia was a member of the Draconid people and, like the rest, greatly admired Lorekeeper Aster. When Aster was killed during Devon's attempt to capture and subdue Rayquaza, Zinnia swore vengeance against the company and was later appointed as Aster's successor by the village elder. Most of the Draconid people, however, still mourning Aster and seeing Zinnia mixing her own agendas with the role, did not truly acknowledge her. As the prophecy of another great meteor was near, Zinnia became desperate and first sent her Salamance to the facility holding Rayquaza. Although it had the hiccup of attacking and being beaten by Ruby, Salamence was nonetheless able to accomplish its mission, and Rayquaza was released from the Pokémon Association's grip. Next, she intended to bring out both {{P|Kyogre}} and {{P|Groudon}} in order to lure out Rayquaza, so she could bond with it. To do so, she infiltrated [[Team Magma]] and tipped [[Maxie]] of the Blue and Red Orbs before departing. Unfortunately for her, Rayquaza would instead soar with Norman and Ruby temporarily in order to stop the catastrophic battle between the legendary Pokémon.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Zinnia debuts in this arc. She is first encountered at the [[Sky Pillar]], where she meets {{adv|Ruby}} as he attempts to ascend it alongside {{adv|Eon duo|Latios}}. Believing him to be an intruder, Zinnia attacks Ruby with her {{p|Salamence}}. Ruby manages to get the upper hand by tricking Zinnia's {{p|Whismur}}, Aster, with Pokéblocks, allowing him to pin Zinnia to the ground when she noticed Aster running off. He then demands to know who Zinnia is and what she knows about the upcoming crisis threatening to destroy Hoenn. Zinnia refuses to answer and escapes Ruby's grasp. She then uses her Mega Anklet to Mega Evolve her Salamence into a Mega Salamence. Ruby counters by Mega Evolving Latios into a Mega Latios with his [[Mega Bracelet]]. Ruby eventually manages to defeat Zinnia's Salamence, and reveals that he's aware that he encountered it before.

Zinnia realizes that the person who defeated her Salamence years ago in her attempt to free Rayquaza from the [[Pokémon Association]] must have actually been Ruby all along. She congratulates Ruby for his battling skills and agrees to tell him everything she knows. She reveals that in nine days time, a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] will hit the planet, destroying it and its inhabitants. Zinnia also reveals her hatred for the Devon Corporation due to its choice in using science and technology to prevent the meteoroid from falling. As she prepares to leave to focus on her mission to stop the meteoroid, Zinnia thanks Ruby for his assistance in freeing Rayquaza and flies off. Later, she muses over the fact that Ruby received his Mega Bracelet from Steven Stone, the son of the Devon Corporation's president and angrily wonders where Devon got [[Key Stone]]s from.
[[File:Team Magma Zinnia Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|Zinnia as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}]]
Later, Zinnia arrives at [[Sea Mauville]] with several Team Aqua and Team Magma Grunts. She finds [[Mr. Stone]] using the [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] to drain the life energy of {{adv|Sapphire}}'s [[Chic]] and {{adv|Emerald}}'s [[Emerald's Sceptile|Sceptile]] in their Mega-Evolved states to power a machine that will be able to warp the meteoroid away. She reveals that she had spied on Team Magma and Team Aqua during their attempts to awaken Groudon and Kyogre and made allies with several of the Grunts of both teams. She and the Grunts attack everyone to steal the dimensional shifter that Mr. Stone was powering with Chic and Sceptile's life energy. Sapphire takes the dimensional shifter and attempts to run away, but Zinnia manages to take her Mega Bracelet with the Key Stone still inside. Zinnia then decides to go after Steven's Key Stone next and begins attacking him. Just as Zinnia gets the advantage in battle, Ruby arrives with his Mega {{p|Swampert}} [[Mumu]] and asks everyone to stop fighting.

Ruby then begins battling Zinnia. After being told by the Grunts that Sapphire had disappeared with the dimensional shifter, Zinnia decides to retreat. Before leaving, Zinnia attacks Steven in an attempt to take his Key Stone. She is stopped again by Ruby, who offers up his and Emerald's Mega Bracelets to Zinnia to convince her to leave. Zinnia accepts the bribe and leaves, but Ruby reveals he secretly stole a scroll when Zinnia wasn't looking.

At Mossdeep City, Zinnia finds the dimensional shifter outfitted inside a rocket that is in the process of being launched into space. She is attacked by Sapphire, who attempts to stop Zinnia from interfering with the launch. Zinnia is assisted by her Team Magma and Team Aqua allies, who battle Sapphire while Zinnia goes off to stop the rocket, which has already been launched. Sapphire evades her opponents and follows Zinnia onto the rocket, where they battle once more. Zinnia eventually defeats Sapphire by knocking her off of the rocket, giving Zinnia the opportunity to destroy the shifter and the rocket.

At {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, Zinnia finds Ruby and Sapphire riding on top of Rayquaza after successfully befriending it. Angered that they managed to get Rayquaza, Zinnia challenges the two to a battle while wearing a second Mega Anklet. By teaming up with Aster's {{p|Noivern}}, Zinnia manages to lure Rayquaza away from Ruby and Sapphire. Upon getting away, Zinnia reveals to Rayquaza about her attempts to free it from the Pokémon Association's control and asks it to join her in destroying the meteoroid. Rayquaza rejects Zinnia's request, impales her with its tail, and blasts her away in a rage.

Zinnia later awakens in Sootopolis City, having been rescued by {{adv|Eon duo|Latios}}. Mr. Stone attempts to apologize to Zinnia about the trouble he caused in attempting to control Rayquaza. Zinnia rejects Mr. Stone's apology and claims that he is only trying to save face for his failures. Now brought to tears, Zinnia gives up and claims that her villagers were right to believe she wasn't strong enough to save the planet in Aster's stead. This angers Emerald, who claims that they shouldn't give up and there must still be something they can do to save the planet.

When asked why only Draconids are allowed to ride with Rayquaza, Zinnia reveals that the plan to stop the meteoroid is essentially a suicide mission. Due to Rayquaza constantly emitting poisonous ozone when in space, the Lorekeeper would not survive the attack. After hearing Zinnia's explanation, Mr. Stone and Steven get the idea to find a way to protect the person riding on Rayquaza with a special suit. Later, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald have their various allies from around Hoenn travel to Sootopolis to assist in stopping the meteoroid. There, Steven presents Zinnia with a jar of Key Stones belonging to Aster collected from the Embedded Tower. When Zinnia speculates that Steven took some Key Stones for himself, Steven explains that he received his Key Stone from the [[Gurkinn|Mega Evolution guru]] in Kalos. Although happy that she has the Key Stones needed to bond with Rayquaza, Zinnia collapses from her injuries. She is later seen in a bed and then placed in a wheelchair until she has fully healed. Ruby and Sapphire forgive her for her wrongdoings, with Sapphire promising that they can talk, get to know each other and become friends later.

Expedition event

2024-08-11T02:00:02Z

StoneSlab: Ball Guy is exclusively referred to with They/Them in Pokemon Masters, but the page previously uses He/Him despite it not being the terms officially given. Until proven otherwise, those pronouns can’t be used for them.

'''Expedition events''' (Japanese: '''探索イベント''' ''Exploration Event'') are a type of limited-time event in {{g|Masters EX}}. These events feature area info consisting of multiple stages that players can explore.

==Search for the Ball Pokémon!==
This event ran from March 21 to April 7, 2023. It was focused on {{mas|Ball Guy}}. Players could work with Ball Guy to search for {{p|Voltorb}} that had escaped.

===Plot===
{{mas|Sophocles}} and {{mas|Molayne}} are looking for something in the forest, and {{mas|Ball Guy}} offers to help them. They explain that they're looking for ten {{p|Voltorb}} that ran away after being scared by an {{m|explosion}}. Ball Guy says they can handle that, and Sophocles and Molayne thank them for the help.

The player and Ball Guy search through one area, finding three Voltorb uneventfully. Upon arriving in the second area, Molayne calls and tells them that Sixtorb is a {{Shiny}} Voltorb. Ball Guy thinks they’ve found it, but it turns out to be a {{p|Spheal}}. Luckily, Spheal's Trainer shows up with Sixtorb and explains that it had gotten mixed up with his other Spheal. The player and Ball Guy collect Sixtorb and the two other Voltorb in the area. In the third area, Sophocles and Molayne call and tell them that Seventorb is a friendly and energetic Pokémon, so it might be playing with children somewhere. After interrogating a {{tc|Preschooler}} about it, they find that Seventorb played with her and her friends so much that it evolved into {{p|Electrode}}. Another Voltorb in the area is blocked by a small tree, so Ball Guy uses their [[Secret Technique|secret technique]] to chop down the tree and get to the Voltorb. After they find another Voltorb in the area, the last Voltorb finally comes out of hiding, so Ball Guy and the player manage to round up the whole group.

Later, Sophocles and Molayne are standing in the forest, surrounded by all their Voltorb and Electrode. They thank Ball Guy again for their help, and Molayne says that Ball Guy's an expert on all things ball-like. Ball Guy is flattered by the compliment.

If the player and Ball Guy give up before finding all the Voltorb, they meet up with Sophocles and Molayne to report their lack of success. Molayne suggests that they take a break and come back to search later, and Ball Guy promises that they'll find all the Voltorb next time.

'''Benga''' (Japanese: '''バンジロウ''' ''Banjirō'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Unova]]. He is [[Alder]]'s grandson and the final {{tc|Boss Trainer}} of the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}}/[[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}.

==In the core series games==
Benga is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who appears in {{B2W2}}. After the {{player}} has defeated [[Alder]] in [[Floccesy Town]] after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, Benga will rush in and tell his grandfather that he has successfully made it to the top of the [[Black Tower]] in [[Black City]]{{sup/5|B2}}/deepest part of the [[White Treehollow]] in [[White Forest]]{{sup/5|W2}}. Upon noticing the player, he urges them to challenge the facility as well and meet him there.

Benga is encountered a couple times throughout the player's journey through the Black Tower{{sup/5|B2}}/White Treehollow{{sup/5|W2}}, until he is finally {{pkmn|battle}}d as the {{tc|Boss Trainer}} of Area 10, the final area of the facility. After being defeated, he tells the player to come meet him at Alder's house in Floccesy Town. If the player then returns to the house with an empty slot in their [[party]], Benga will give them a {{Shiny}} {{p|Gible}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Dratini}}{{sup/5|W2}} as a {{pkmn2|gift}}, before returning to the Black Tower{{sup/5|B2}}/White Treehollow{{sup/5|W2}}.

[[File:Benga Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Benga in Pokémon Adventures]]
Benga first appeared in ''[[PS541|Pink Slip]]''. He is a first-year student at the [[Aspertia City]] [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]], alongside {{adv|Blake}}, {{adv|Whitley}}, [[Hugh]], [[Leo]], {{adv|Yuki}}, {{adv|Yuko}}, and {{adv|Maya}}. On the first day of school, Benga fought in a battle against Blake, Hugh and Leo, which led to Benga's suspension due to damage caused to the classroom.

After his suspension period had ended, Benga returned to school, only to find that his class had gone off to [[Castelia City]] on a trip. Following their tracks, Benga traveled to Castelia with [[Marlon]], only to witness the city getting frozen by the [[Plasma Frigate]]. Benga and Marlon found the class, unconscious but unharmed, and took them to the [[Marine Tube]] to recuperate. Once the class had woken up, Benga and Marlon explained everything to them, and revealed that they were gathering forces to help launch a counterattack against [[Team Plasma]].

By ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', the Marine Tube had been frozen over, along with the rest of [[Undella Town]]. With the combined power of {{m|Fire Pledge}}, {{m|Grass Pledge}}, and {{m|Water Pledge}}, Benga, {{adv|Cheren}}, {{adv|Bianca}}, and [[Cedric Juniper]] managed to break through the ice and free everyone trapped inside. Benga and the others were transported to the abandoned [[N's Castle]]. The area had been set ablaze when the Plasma Frigate crashed into it, putting the Pokémon Team Plasma left behind at risk. Benga, {{adv|Black}}, {{adv|White}}, Blake, Whitley, Hugh, Cheren, Bianca, and Cedric combined the might of all three stages of the Unova first partner Pokémon and unleashed a triple Fire, Grass, and Water Pledge combination attack, successfully dousing the flames.

In ''[[PS548|Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony]]'', Benga attended the Trainers' School graduation ceremony with his classmates.

'''Benga''' (Japanese: '''バンジロウ''' ''Banjirō'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Unova]]. He is [[Alder]]'s grandson and the final {{tc|Boss Trainer}} of the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}}/[[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}.

==In the core series games==
Benga is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who appears in {{B2W2}}. After the {{player}} has defeated [[Alder]] in [[Floccesy Town]] after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, Benga will rush in and tell his grandfather that he has successfully made it to the top of the [[Black Tower]] in [[Black City]]{{sup/5|B2}}/deepest part of the [[White Treehollow]] in [[White Forest]]{{sup/5|W2}}. Upon noticing the player, he urges them to challenge the facility as well and meet him there.

Benga is encountered a couple times throughout the player's journey through the Black Tower{{sup/5|B2}}/White Treehollow{{sup/5|W2}}, until he is finally {{pkmn|battle}}d as the {{tc|Boss Trainer}} of Area 10, the final area of the facility. After being defeated, he tells the player to come meet him at Alder's house in Floccesy Town. If the player then returns to the house with an empty slot in their [[party]], Benga will give them a {{Shiny}} {{p|Gible}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Dratini}}{{sup/5|W2}} as a {{pkmn2|gift}}, before returning to the Black Tower{{sup/5|B2}}/White Treehollow{{sup/5|W2}}.

The Echo of a Deity's Voice

2024-08-10T01:48:58Z

StoneSlab: Added a summary of the newest Mysterious Stones Chapter released in August 2024, which had yet to be added.

[[File:Masters Mysterious Stone.png|thumb|128px|A sync stone ultimate]]
The '''Mysterious Stones Chapter''' (Japanese: '''謎の石編''' ''Mysterious Stones Chapter'') is a storyline available in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] as part of its '''Main Story''' (Japanese: '''メインストーリー''' ''Main Story''). It follows on from the plot of the [[Villain Arc]], telling a story in which [[Scottie]]/[[Bettie]] is asked to investigate the appearance of [[sync stone ultimate|sync stones ultimate]]. A new story area is released for the chapter once per month, starting from November 1, 2023.

==Plot==
===Cynthia's Invitation===
While the {{player}} is walking with {{p|Pikachu}}, a voice calls out to them. They turn to see {{mas|Cynthia}}, who invites them to come with her to look into a [[sync stone ultimate|mysterious stone]] that {{mas|Rei}} had stumbled upon, explaining that its glow looked quite similar to that of a [[sync stone]].

===What Rei Found===
Cynthia informs Rei, {{mas|Akari}}, and the player that [[Professor Bellis]] has discovered something about the mysterious stones, asking them to join her in the laboratory. Rei eagerly accepts, but suddenly flinches and turns around. When Akari asks him what is wrong, he tells her that it is probably nothing, then suggests for everyone to visit the lab.

At the laboratory, Professor Bellis tells the group her findings, saying that the mysterious stone, just like a sync stone, reacts to the bond between a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and their Pokémon. However, the mysterious stones are unable to release the energy obtained from this bond as a sync stone would. She explains that in order to do more research, she would need everyone to find more of the stones and bring them to her. Cynthia suggests asking people to search around [[Pasio]].

Across Pasio, Trainers look for the mysterious stones. In caves, some {{DL|Theme skill|Other|Rock Lovers}}, as well as {{mas|Rose}} and {{mas|Oleana}}, search in two different groups. On the mountain, the player, [[Lear]], [[Rachel]], {{mas|Sawyer}}, [[Tina]], [[Paulo]], and {{mas|Colress}} search. Colress stops to ponder the existence of the stones, and Lear yells at him for getting distracted. While the player, Tina, and Paulo nervously laugh at them, something suddenly falls from the sky. The player is hit by it, drawing concern from both Tina and Paulo. When the player raises their hand, they hold up the sparkling object that fell on them—a mysterious stone.

===Similarities to Sync Stones===
{{mas|Nemona}} and {{mas|Penny}} visit Professor Bellis to inform her they each found a mysterious stone in town. Understanding that both of them are from [[Paldea]], Bellis asks them if the stones seem to have any similarities with [[Tera Shard|Tera Jewel]]s, but the two confirm they are not alike.

Professor Bellis meets with Rei, Akari, [[Tina]], [[Paulo]], and the player to update them on what she learned from Nemona and Penny. When Bellis mentions the stones' similarities to sync stones, Akari asks where sync stones are found. Bellis explains they come from the seabed around Pasio, which is what motivated [[Lear]] to create the artificial island where it is. She adds that sync stones can be both mined and found on the ocean's surface from natural causes.

Bellis reminds the group that although sync stones are beautiful to look at, they have a powerful energy that can cause chaos if used improperly, something that resonates with Paulo. She explains that despite this, sync stones must be processed before they can release that kind of energy, which is why they are integrated into {{DL|Pokémon Masters EX|Poryphone}}s. When the group ponders why no one was finding mysterious stones until just recently, Bellis begins to wonder if their arrival is related to {{mas|Giovanni}}'s attempted takeover of Pasio, as well as the [[space-time distortion]]s that have begun to appear.

===A Voice Calling Out to Rei===
{{mas|Steven}}, Cynthia, Rose, Oleana, and {{mas|Looker}} report their findings to Professor Bellis. Both Steven and Rose explain that they have not been able to locate mysterious stones in places one would expect to find sync stones, and are instead finding them in bushes or in the town. Cynthia chimes in to mention that she suspects the stones could be appearing from another world. When Steven suggests that the stones could be gravitating toward powerful Pokémon, Looker states that people with powers can also attract things from other worlds, thinking of {{mas|Anabel}}. Bellis agrees, then mentions that the stones are most often found by particularly strong Trainers, meaning the stones could be attracted to the energy of powerful people. She brings up another theory—suggesting the stones' arrival could be related to the [[Hisui]]an Trainers who have come from the past. Cynthia suggests meeting with Rei and asking him.

Meanwhile, as Rei is camping in the woods at night, he has a dream where a distinct voice speaks to him. Rei is startled awake, prompting {{mas|Elio}}, {{mas|Victor}}, and {{mas|Ethan}} to come over to him. He assures them he is alright, and that camping simply reminds him of living in Hisui. Rei stays outside as the others go back to the tent. As Rei thinks to himself, he realizes that he recognizes the voice from his dream, and that it is something he heard when he first came to Hisui. Internally, he asks if the voice is "seeking something from people again."

===The Creator of All Things===
At the lab, Rei tells {{mas|Lance}}, Cynthia, and Professor Bellis that he heard {{p|Arceus}}'s voice in his dream. He believes this is connected to both his arrival on Pasio and the appearance of the mysterious stones, which Cynthia agrees with. Bellis suspects Arceus may be causing skilled sync pairs to find the stones. To figure out what is happening, Lance suggests going to the other Pokémon who are mentioned in the [[Sinnoh myths|legends of Sinnoh]].

At the ruins, Cynthia, Lance, and Rei meet with {{mas|Lucas}}, {{mas|Adaman}}, {{mas|Irida}}, {{mas|N}}, and {{mas|Iris}} in front of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}. Lucas notices {{p|Palkia}} is not present, and Irida explains that {{mas|Cyrus}} was unwilling to help them. N and Iris go to speak to Dialga and Giratina. When both Pokémon cry out, N translates for the group, explaining that neither are certain if the stones are connected to Arceus. Iris explains that the Pokémon seem to be "confused," and N tells the group that Giratina is refusing to acknowledge Arceus. When the Pokémon cry out again, N translates that Arceus's presence is strengthening rapidly.

Back at the lab, Professor Bellis is doing more research when a {{tc|Preschooler}} and {{tc|Youngster}} enter the room. They both tell her they discovered some of the stones while they were playing in a forest. Bellis is shocked, realizing that she may have been incorrect about assuming the stones were only seeking out strong Trainers.

===Show Me Thy Bond===
A little while later, the player, Tina, and Paulo meet Lance, Cynthia, Steven, and Professor Bellis at the lab. Bellis tells the group that she was able to extract energy from the stones, and that she discovered the source of this energy comes from the power inside of a Trainer's heart. Wanting to present her research, Bellis asks the player if they would like to participate in a demonstration, as they are an ideal representative of a new generation of Trainers. The player is initially shocked, but after receiving some encouragement from the others, they become enthusiastic to learn more. Lance decides to help teach them about how to use the stones.

Days later at the stadium, Professor Bellis speaks in front of an audience and reveals the name she has given to the stones—"sync stones ultimate." She explains that the sync stones ultimate are quite similar to regular sync stones, but it is difficult to fully extract their power and integrate them into Poryphones. She calls on the player to begin their demonstration, and they enter with Pikachu. Before the player can start, a white light appears and a muffled voice speaks out, saying "show me thy bond."

===Long-Held Ambitions on the Move===
The Poryphone development team, consisting of {{mas|Clemont}}, {{mas|Volkner}}, {{mas|Molayne}}, {{mas|Sophocles}}, and Colress, struggle to find a way to incorporate sync stones ultimate into Poryphones while also keeping them accessible to users. To the group's surprise, {{mas|Jacq}} enters and introduces himself as both a teacher and an app developer from Paldea. The team gladly invites him to help.

At the arena, Professor Bellis and the others remain confused about the mysterious voice they heard. Rei and Lear have now joined the group, and Cynthia asks the former about the voice. Before Rei can answer, he is interrupted by {{mas|Volo}}, who declares that the voice came from Arceus. Rei stares in shock as Volo walks toward everyone and introduces himself. He tells them that he believes the sync stones ultimate are part of a test from Arceus, and that they should figure out how to show it the bond that it desires. Cynthia is confused as to how Volo could possibly know about the connection between Arceus and the stones, but he brushes it off as a duty of a merchant. Turning to Lear, Volo asks him if he is interested in meeting Arceus. Lear is hesitant, but curious. Volo encourages him to have a large tournament, saying viewers would enjoy seeing a "clash between a king and a deity." Lear becomes fully convinced, and Volo praises his quick decision-making, causing everyone else to sigh. Rei remains quiet.

Later, Volo takes a walk through the forest at night. He abruptly stops in place, then turns and asks aloud if there is something Rei would like to say to him. Rei emerges from the trees and silently stares up at Volo.

===Fateful Reunion===
Rei asks Volo if he created the space-time rift and caused the sync stones ultimate to appear on Pasio. Although Volo wishes he had done it, he reveals that he was not responsible. He explains that while he was able to benefit from Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina's power in Hisui, the same is not the case for Pasio. Volo believes that Arceus is the reason for the recent unusual events, and enthuses over hearing its voice. He is about to say something else, but cuts himself off to note that it seems Rei was not chosen by Arceus either. Rei is silent, something that does not go unnoticed by Volo.

Volo explains that he is still determined to take control of Arceus's power to recreate the world. Noting that he and Rei have conflicting goals, Volo suggests for him to try him by telling everyone his intentions. Despite the danger that would result in Volo's goal, Rei says he will not expose him, as that would not stop Volo or provide any kind of resolution. He also explains that he is still determined to change Volo's mind, saying he will only stop him if he tries to harm anyone on Pasio. Volo is amused that Rei is putting trust in him, telling him that he hopes Rei will not regret it. He then walks away, and Rei lets out a sigh.

A voice calls out to Rei, and he looks over to see Paulo, who had been watching the two speak from nearby. Paulo apologizes for overhearing, but explains he will not tell anyone about Volo, saying he does not believe any benefit will come from using power to stop wrongdoers. After Rei tells Paulo that only a few other people know what Volo is really after, Paulo offers to support Rei in any way.

===Pride of the Myth Seekers===
As Trainers across Pasio enthuse about the tournament, Cynthia is rather pensive.

Later, Cynthia is shown training her Lucario and {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} at the ruins. As she does so, she thinks of the way all of the Trainers around her have improved while she has yet to do so. Interrupting her thoughts, Volo calls out to her from nearby. He notes that Cynthia has not been able to draw out the full potential of her Garchomp, and wonders aloud if {{pkmn|Champion}}s are not as strong as they have been made out to be.

When Cynthia is surprised to hear him say that, Volo clarifies that he is only looking out for her—wanting all Trainers to grow so that they can use sync stones ultimate and be found worthy by Arceus. Cynthia is skeptical, prompting Volo to explain that her lack of growth comes from her Pokémon's lack of desperation in battles. He tells her that Pokémon trained in dire situations can do a better job of serving their wielders, and that is what forms the best bond between a person and their Pokémon. Cynthia asks Volo if he truly believes Arceus will choose someone who treats his Pokémon like tools, and Volo invites her to battle him. Wanting to prove false his method of Pokémon training, Cynthia accepts.

Volo sends his Garchomp out at Cynthia's. Its style of fighting surprises her, pressuring her to have her Garchomp unleash a powerful attack. Volo's Garchomp is unfazed, however, and Volo abruptly ends the battle, noting he doesn't want to give away his strategies before the two have the chance to fight in the tournament. While Cynthia acknowledges that Volo is a strong Trainer, she refuses to believe there is anything wrong with the bonds she shares with her Pokémon.

Reiterating that he will support Cynthia, Volo begins to walk away. He notes that Cynthia battles ''alongside'' her Pokémon. When Cynthia's Garchomp shows frustration after the battle, she confidently declares they will defeat Volo next time.

===Adventures to Unknown Worlds===
Steven searches for rocks on the mountain with {{p|Metagross}}, but notices that his Pokémon is less motivated to help him than usual. [[Brandon]] calls out to them from nearby, approaching them to ask what kind of "adventure" they are currently on. Greeting Brandon, Steven explains that he is looking for rocks as usual, but the search is less exciting since he doesn't have to find samples of sync stones ultimate for research anymore.

Brandon then asks Steven if he is planning on entering the upcoming tournament. Steven declines, saying he would rather give the next generation of Trainers the opportunity to grow instead. Disappointed, Brandon accuses Steven of limiting himself. He exclaims that everyone who knows Steven would want him to go on exciting adventures. This leads Steven to think about the people in his life, making him realize that he has not been prioritizing his own adventures. He vows to keep on adventuring with Metagross, pleasing Brandon.

===A Leader's Role, a Challenger's Struggle===
In the chapter, [[Lance (Masters)|Lance]] and [[Clair (Masters)|Clair]] are training while [[Alder (Masters)|Alder]] observes them. Suddenly, [[Benga]] arrives and is introduced to Lance and Clair by Alder, who says Benga is on-par, if not stronger, than himself. The two ask to battle Benga and he declines. Clair attempts to battle Benga anyway, but is defeated in a single attack. Lance asks if he can battle too, and Benga says that he "hasn't been through enough" yet, and refuses to battle Lance, saying he only battled Clair because of her passion for battles, desire to win, and how she saw Benga as an equal, whereas Lance saw Benga as nothing more than a challenger to eventually be defeated by. After this, Lance begins to reminisce on his past, and realizes he lost sight of why he became a trainer. Lance thanks Benga, and the two promise to battle when Lance becomes stronger. As the two talk, Alder begins to realize he needs to get stronger as well, as to avoid someday being surpassed by other trainers on Pasio.

|-
|Cynthia
|''Do you remember the fascinating stone Rei found at the ruins? I asked Professor Bellis to analyze it.''
|-
|Akari
|''The stone that has a similar glow to a sync stone, right?''
|-
|Rei
|''Did she find something out?''
|-
|Cynthia
|''Yes, she has some interesting results. I want you to come with me to her lab, so we can hear more details.''
|-
|Rei
|''Sure, of course! I've actually been thinking about it for a while...''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Rei abruptly turns around and stares off into the woods behind him)<center/>
|-
|Akari
|''What's the matter, Rei?''
|-
|Rei
|''Oh... I'm sure it's nothing. Now, let's hurry to Professor Bellis's lab!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to the lab)<center/>
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''So, I analyzed the stone you gave me. Although it has properties similar to sync stones, it's something different.''
|-
|Rei
|''What do you mean?''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Sync stones can release energy by reacting to a strong bond between a Trainer and a Pokémon. The stone Rei found has similar properties… But it cannot release energy like sync stones do.''
|-
|Cynthia
|''It seems to be even more mysterious than sync stones...''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Oui, I may need to research a little further. That's why I'd like you all to find more stones like this one.''
|-
|Akari
|''The more samples you have, the more different methods you can try for your research, right?''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Bingo! If you can, please also let me know where you find the stones. I'm keen to know why we're suddenly discovering them.''
|-
|Rei
|''I agree… Shall we start by going back to the ruins and investigating the area?''
|-
|Akari
|''Sure!''
|-
|Cynthia
|'''Shall we ask for help?''': ''Sure, let's split up and ask around.'' '''That seems like hard work!''': ''Let's ask our friends on Pasio to help, then. If we all search different areas, it'll be easier to find the strange stones.''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to the caves. Steven is speaking with other Rock Lovers)<center/>
|-
|Steven
|''So we need to look for these fascinating stones that have similar properties to sync stones.''
|-
|Roark

|-
|Roxanne
|''Same here. If there were any rare ores on Pasio, one of us would've spotted them right away.''
|-

|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Oh? In town?''
|-
|Penny
|''My Veevees also found some when we were walking around town...''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''As I thought—they don't seem to be ordinary ores. I have a question for the two of you, as you're both from Paldea. Are these stones similar to Tera Jewels?''
|-
|Nemona
|''Hmm... I'm not an expert or anything, so I'm not too sure… but the energy these stones give off kinda feels different to me.''
|-
|Penny
|''The way the stones sparkle and shine is different, too, isn't it?''
|-
|Nemona
|''Yup yup! It's different, all right—though these stones are pretty, too!''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''OK, understood. Thank you, both! If you find them again, let me know!''
|-
|Nemona
|''Will do!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to a field. Rei, Akari, Professor Bellis, Paulo, Tina, and the player are speaking)<center/>
|-
|Rei
|''So, the stones were also found in town?''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Oui! As we thought, they're similar to sync stones, but have key differences.''
|-
|Akari
|''Erm... Come to think of it, where ARE sync stones found?''
|-
|Tina
|''Yeah! I'd like to know, too! I've been using one ever since I came to Pasio without really thinking about it much, but I don't exactly know what kind of stones they are.''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Oh, sorry! Of course! As a sync stone researcher, I can give a brief explanation. Sync stones are mysterious rainbow-colored minerals that are mined from deposits in the seabed around Pasio. That's the reason why Lear decided to create an artificial island here. Lumps of sync stones can be found deep underground… but countless pieces rise to the ocean's surface due to natural causes, such as plate tectonics and the movement of celestial bodies. At night, the pieces floating on the ocean make it look like a starlit sky—it's very romantic!''
|-
|Akari
|''That sounds lovely!''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''As you know, sync stones are pretty, but they also contain powerful energy. They release that energy in reaction to the bond between a Pokémon and its Trainer...and they can cause chaos if they're used the wrong way.''
|-
|Paulo
|''Yeah... They can strengthen your bond, but they can also tear you apart from your Pokémon...''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''However, sync stones cannot release energy unless they've been specially processed. That's why they're embedded in everyone's Poryphone. Handling a sync stone in its raw state is not dangerous. However...''
|-
|Rei
|''We don't know if that's true of these mysterious stones, even though they have similar properties as sync stones, right?''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Exactly...''
|-
|Akari
|''I see... If sync stones are normally found in the ocean… then the stones we're finding in town must be different.''
|-
|Tina
|''It's also strange that we've only been discovering them recently, even though people explore Pasio every day.''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''(Something that happened recently...) (Giovanni tried to take over Pasio, and a space-time rift appeared...) (Are those incidents somehow related?)''

|-
|Steven
|''As for the mysterious stones… We stone enthusiasts searched caves, rock walls, and the beach… but unlike normal ores or sync stones, we couldn't find any in those places.''
|-
|Rose
|''Likewise… We conducted a thorough excavation, but ended up finding the stones in shrubbery or by the side of the road.''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Hmm... I see...''
|-
|Cynthia
|''As you theorized, the stones weren't accidentally mixed with the gravel used for the artificial island. Instead, they may have come from a world other than our own.''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Exactly... Like the Ultra Wormholes and the space-time rift… we've encountered multiple instances of our world being connected to a different world or period of time. I believe that these phenomena may have made it easier for debris from other world to enter ours. But this is just my assumption...and I have no proof.''
|-
|Steven
|''We've seen a lot more rare Pokémon on Pasio who, like Hoopa, have mysterious powers. There's a possibility that the stones are gravitating toward the power of these Pokémon.''

|-
|Steven
|''The stones might be gravitating toward the powerful energy people possess.''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Another theory is, we've been seeing people from Hisui appear here… The fact that they've come here from the past might be a factor, as well.''

|-

|''Professor Bellis, you said that there’s a connection between the stones we’ve been discussing and the recent changes on Pasio, right? I’ve also recently come to Pasio. The fact that I came here, the discovery of the stones, and the voice of Arceus… It’s hard to believe that they’re not all connected.''
|-
|Cynthia
|''According to the legends of Sinnoh, Arceus is the creator of all things… If you consider the fascinating properties the stones have, it actually makes sense.''
|-
|Lance
|''So, do you think Rei actually heard Arceus’s voice?''
|-
|Cynthia
|''Yes… It’s hard to believe, but… Adaman and Irida were also saying that Dialga and Palkia had communicated their will to them here on Pasio…''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''True… So far, the stones have been found by sync pairs who’re skilled in battling… It’s as though the stones are seeking out strong sync pairs… Perhaps, someone or something is conspiring to make strong sync pairs find the stones. One hypothesis is that it might be Arceus’s doing.''
|-

|-

|''So, it didn't go well with Palkia...I mean, Cyrus?''
|-
|Irida
|''It did not. “I see no benefit or reason to extend my help to you.” That was his response.
|-
|Adaman
|''Well, no matter how much time we spend talking to him, it won’t get us anywhere.''
|-
|Lance
|''I’m sorry you had to come all this way, N and Iris.''
|-
|N
|''No, it’s fine. I actually wanted to take some time to have a chat with Dialga and Giratina.''
|-
|Iris
|''Yeah! Same here!''
|-

|-

|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Both Pokémon cry out)<center/>
|-

|''... ... ...''
|-
|Lance
|''Well?''
|-
|N
|''Apparently, they're not sure if the stones have any connection to Arceus...''
|-
|Iris
|''Both Dialga and Giratina seem troubled...or rather, confused, I think.''
|-
|N
|''Yeah, Giratina, in particular, refuses to talk about Arceus...''
|-

|''... ... ...''
|-
|Adaman

|-

|-
|Preschooler
|''Yup! We found them when we were playing hide-and-seek in the forest.''
|-
|Professor Bellis

|colspan=2|<center>(Professor Bellis’s Lab)<center/>
|-
|colspan=2|<center>A short time had passed since the children found the mysterious stones Despite some imperfections, Professor Bellis managed to extract energy from them.<center/>
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''At the very least, my experiments managed to successfully confirm that the energy of these stones is drawn out by the power of one's heart. However, unlike sync stones, these ones are not so easily handled... When the time comes to present my research, I'd like a sync pair with a powerful bond to lend me a hand in a demonstration. Would you mind participating in the demo, <player>?''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(The player is shocked)<center/>
|-
|Cynthia
|''We’re the ones who endorsed you.''
|-
|Steven
|''We felt there was no better example of a sync pair with a powerful bond.''
|-
|Tina
|''That's amazing, <player>! Oh, but wait...weren't you all helping Professor Bellis with her research? Aren’t you going to participate in the demo?''
|-
|Lance
|''Well... It's true that we’re familiar with how to use the mysterious stones because we helped with some preliminary tests... And the power of these stones could unlock new possibilities for sync pairs on Pasio, right?''
|-
|Steven
|''Precisely. That's why we thought someone like <player>—a leader of the next generation—would be more fitting than one of us.''
|-
|Cynthia
|''Especially because the presentation will be in front of a lot of people!''
|-
|Paulo
|''Hmm...OK. I'm curious about what sorts of new possibilities you three could unlock, though. Aren’t you, <player>? Tina?
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(The player and Tina both cheer)<center/>
|-
|Tina
|''I am!''
|-
|Lance
|''Hahaha! That’s nice to hear! Well then, if we want to turn more of these possibilities into realities.. we’ll need to give <player> a lecture on how to use the stones!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to stadium)<center/>
|-
|colspan=2|<center>Days later...<center/>
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Hello everyone! Thank you for coming! Today, I’ll be presenting my research on the mysterious stones discovered on Pasio! To start, the official name of these stones has been decided. They will be called…“sync stones ultimate”!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(The audience cheers)<center/>
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''I chose this name because there’s a high probability those stones contain more power than ordinary sync stones. Much like sync stones, these stones react to the bond between people and Pokémon, emitting radiant energy. But at the moment, extracting 100% of the power contained in these stones proves challenging, even with the best sync pairs. It’s also very difficult to embed the stones into Poryphones, and it may take a little longer for everyone to be able to use them. Nevertheless, these stones hold new possibilities that may strengthen the power and bonds of sync pairs. So allow us to share a snippet of the current findings from our research.''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(The player and their Pikachu enter)<center/>
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''I’ll now turn the presentation over to <player> and Pikachu!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>'''Talk to Pikachu.:''' (The player turns to Pikachu, who happily cries at them) '''Take a deep breath.:''' (The player closes their eyes and Pikachu watches them)<center/>

|-
|Sophocles
|''*sigh*''
|-

|''Any apps or software we make capable of controlling sync stones ultimate always end up so complicated to use…''
|-

|''Well, we’re used to working with all kinds of technology, so something complicated should be no problem for us to handle.''
|-
|Molayne
|''But something like this might be too much for kids or people who aren’t great with tech to handle…''
|-
|Colress
|''This undertaking of ours is quite challenging…but truly fascinating! These stones hold potential that is beyond human comprehension! Researching them is truly a rewarding experience!''

|-
|Volkner
|''Wow, that’s great!''
|-
|Clemont
|''Oh, I’ve also been involved in developing a Pokédex! Please help us!''
|-

|-

|-
|colspan=2|<center>After the mysterious, resonating voice interrupted Professor Bellis's presentation...<center/>
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''I see… It seems nearly everyone in this arena heard the same voice we did.''
|-

|''“Show me thy bond,” huh…''
|-
|Cynthia
|''Rei. Was that voice…?''
|-
|Rei
|''Yeah. I’m certain. That voice is—''
|-

|''Indeed! That was a message from Arceus!''
|-
|Rei
|''Wha—?!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Volo approaches the group)<center/>
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Um… You are…?''
|-
|Volo
|''I’m Volo—a humble merchant who loves history and mythology! But more importantly! When the arena shone brightly, I also heard that voice! There is powerful, mystical energy within the sync stones ultimate, isn’t there? So, could the sync stones ultimate be… a test given to us by Arceus? If we’re able to show the “bond” that Arceus desires here on Pasio, perhaps then—''
|-
|Cynthia
|''Wait, where did you hear about the connection between Arceus and the stones?''
|-
|Volo
|''Investigating the odd and novel is key to any good merchant’s success! Prince Lear! Aren’t you curious about the deified Pokémon? Don’t you want to meet it?''
|-
|Lear
|''H-hm… I would be lying if I said I wasn’t interested…''
|-
|Volo
|''Perfect! Then, to show this deity your bond… you should hold a grand Pokémon tournament! If Arceus were to make an appearance…why, the audience would love to bear witness to a clash between a king and a deity, don’t you agree?''
|-
|Lear
|''That’s true… A clash between a king and a deity… I like the sound of that. Heh! Fine! Let’s not disappoint this deity, then!''
|-
|Volo
|''Wow! You have a real gift for making quick decisions! Impressive!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Professor Bellis, Steven, Lance, Cynthia, and the player all sigh)<center/>
|-

|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Volo and Rei face each other in the forest at night)<center/>
|-
|Rei
|''Volo, I’m just going to ask straight out. Did you cause the space-time rift on Pasio? Did you make the sync stones ultimate appear?''
|-
|Volo
|''Indeed I did… That’s what I wish I could say, but none of that was my doing.''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Images of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina are shown)<center/>
|-
|Volo
|''Back in Hisui, I was able to take advantage of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina’s power.''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina are shown with their Trainers—Lucas, Cyrus, and Cynthia, respectively)<center/>
|-
|Volo
|''However, it seems I’m not able to do the same here on Pasio. Given that, wouldn’t you agree that my options are limited? In other words, the strange events happening now are purely driven by Arceus’s will! And I heard Arceus’s voice! Which means… Oh, but more importantly… It seems like Arceus didn’t choose you in the end either, eh?''
|-
|Rei
|''...''
|-
|Volo
|''Savoring the silence, are we? Very well, then. Rei, I won’t let this opportunity escape me. This time, I’ll be the victor! I’ll wield the power of Arceus!''
|-
|Rei
|''So…you still haven’t given up on using Arceus’s power to make the world the way you want it?''
|-
|Volo
|''Precisely. Unfortunately, you and I have conflicting views. Do as you please. Perhaps try to stop me by exposing my motives to the people of this land?''
|-
|Rei
|''OK… Fine. You know what? I won’t tell anyone about your true motives.''
|-
|Volo
|''What?''
|-
|Rei
|''Your dream’s dangerous. Really dangerous. But even if I got everyone to try to stop you by force, you still wouldn’t give up. And it wouldn’t really solve anything either. That’s why I’m not telling anyone yet. I haven’t given up on trying to change your mind.''
|-
|Volo
|''...''
|-
|Rei
|''But if you ever try to hurt anyone on Pasio, I’ll stop you.''
|-
|Volo
|''Oho, so you’re placing some trust in me, then? I do hope you don’t regret it.''
|-

|-

|''Oh… You’re going to tell Looker and the others, aren’t you?''
|-
|Paulo
|''No. I’ll keep quiet about Volo.''
|-
|Rei
|''You sure?''
|-
|Paulo
|''Yeah. Whatever his beliefs are, we don’t know that Volo has done anything wrong on Pasio so far. Besides… I don’t think using power to eliminate wrongdoers will really stop bad things from happening. I want to support you and your choices. And I bet Looker and the others would say the same.''
|-
|Rei
|''Paulo…''
|-
|Paulo
|''By the way, do the others from Hisui know about Volo’s true motives?''
|-
|Rei
|''Yeah, a few of them do…''
|-
|Paulo
|''Ah, I see. That means only a handful of people are aware of the situation and could help if you needed it. So if there’s anything I can do, let me know, OK? I’ll help as much as I can!''

|-
|Cynthia
|''Oh, you… You’re Volo, right? Can I help you?''
|-
|Volo
|''That’s an impressive Garchomp. Yet it seems you have been unable to unleash her full potential… It was my understanding that Champions were supposed to be very skilled, but perhaps that assumption was wrong.''
|-
|Cynthia
|''Well, that’s rather blunt of you. Have I wronged you somehow?''
|-
|Volo
|''No, nothing like that. I only mean to express my support. You see, I want the Pokémon wielders of this land to become stronger. My aim is for as many individuals as possible to use the sync stones ultimate. And in so doing, they can be deemed worthy by a deity. I’m sure you would also like to meet Arceus, no?''
|-
|Cynthia
|''...Who are you, really? Researching Arceus is no small feat—''
|-
|Volo
|''Like you, I have an interest in Pokémon mythology. But more importantly… As you are now, you and your Pokémon will be unable to draw a sync stone ultimate’s true power.''
|-
|Cynthia
|''And your reasoning for that is?''
|-
|Volo
|''You lack desperation. In this place, Pokémon battles are treated as friendly competition. You could never hope to win against people and Pokémon who have battled through harsh environments with their lives at stake. As a Pokémon wielder, I give my own Pokémon orders so that we can survive. Pokémon honed through life-or-death situations can better serve as swords and shields for people! You can only truly say you have a bond with your Pokémon when you have reached that level.''
|-
|Cynthia
|''You make it sound like you view your Pokémon as tools. Do you actually think Arceus will choose you, when you treat your Pokémon so coldly?''
|-
|Volo
|''Heh. Would you care to try me? Let’s determine whose way of forming a bond is better, then, shall we?''
|-

|-
|Cynthia
|''It’s OK, Lucario. Rest up a bit.''
|-

|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Cynthia commands her Garchomp to attack. Volo pauses)<center/>
|-
|Volo
|''Let’s call it a day. I may have the chance to battle against you at the tournament. It wouldn’t be very wise to show all my cards now, would it?''
|-
|Cynthia
|''True. And I understand much better now… You’re more than just talk, and I’m still not skilled enough. However… I’ll never agree with you that there’s something wrong with the bonds between me and my Pokémon.''
|-
|Volo
|''That’s fine.''

'''Benga''' (Japanese: '''バンジロウ''' ''Banjirō'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Unova]]. He is [[Alder]]'s grandson and the final {{tc|Boss Trainer}} of the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}}/[[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}.

==In the core series games==
Benga is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who appears in {{B2W2}}. After the {{player}} has defeated [[Alder]] in [[Floccesy Town]] after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, Benga will rush in and tell his grandfather that he has successfully made it to the top of the [[Black Tower]] in [[Black City]]{{sup/5|B2}}/deepest part of the [[White Treehollow]] in [[White Forest]]{{sup/5|W2}}. Upon noticing the player, he urges them to challenge the facility as well and meet him there.

Benga is encountered a couple times throughout the player's journey through the Black Tower{{sup/5|B2}}/White Treehollow{{sup/5|W2}}, until he is finally {{pkmn|battle}}d as the {{tc|Boss Trainer}} of Area 10, the final area of the facility. After being defeated, he tells the player to come meet him at Alder's house in Floccesy Town. If the player then returns to the house with an empty slot in their [[party]], Benga will give them a {{Shiny}} {{p|Gible}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Dratini}}{{sup/5|W2}} as a {{pkmn2|gift}}, before returning to the Black Tower{{sup/5|B2}}/White Treehollow{{sup/5|W2}}.

[[File:Benga Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Benga in Pokémon Adventures]]
Benga first appeared in ''[[PS541|Pink Slip]]''. He is a first-year student at the [[Aspertia City]] [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]], alongside {{adv|Blake}}, {{adv|Whitley}}, [[Hugh]], [[Leo]], {{adv|Yuki}}, {{adv|Yuko}}, and {{adv|Maya}}. On the first day of school, Benga fought in a battle against Blake, Hugh and Leo, which led to Benga's suspension due to damage caused to the classroom.

After his suspension period had ended, Benga returned to school, only to find that his class had gone off to [[Castelia City]] on a trip. Following their tracks, Benga traveled to Castelia with [[Marlon]], only to witness the city getting frozen by the [[Plasma Frigate]]. Benga and Marlon found the class, unconscious but unharmed, and took them to the [[Marine Tube]] to recuperate. Once the class had woken up, Benga and Marlon explained everything to them, and revealed that they were gathering forces to help launch a counterattack against [[Team Plasma]].

By ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', the Marine Tube had been frozen over, along with the rest of [[Undella Town]]. With the combined power of {{m|Fire Pledge}}, {{m|Grass Pledge}}, and {{m|Water Pledge}}, Benga, {{adv|Cheren}}, {{adv|Bianca}}, and [[Cedric Juniper]] managed to break through the ice and free everyone trapped inside. Benga and the others were transported to the abandoned [[N's Castle]]. The area had been set ablaze when the Plasma Frigate crashed into it, putting the Pokémon Team Plasma left behind at risk. Benga, {{adv|Black}}, {{adv|White}}, Blake, Whitley, Hugh, Cheren, Bianca, and Cedric combined the might of all three stages of the Unova first partner Pokémon and unleashed a triple Fire, Grass, and Water Pledge combination attack, successfully dousing the flames.

In ''[[PS548|Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony]]'', Benga attended the Trainers' School graduation ceremony with his classmates.

'''Benga''' (Japanese: '''バンジロウ''' ''Banjirō'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Unova]]. He is [[Alder]]'s grandson and the final {{tc|Boss Trainer}} of the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}}/[[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}.

==In the core series games==
Benga is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who appears in the postgame of {{B2W2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}. After the {{player}} has defeated [[Alder]] in [[Floccesy Town]] after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, Benga will rush in and tell his grandfather that he has successfully made it to the top of the [[Black Tower]] in [[Black City]]{{sup/5|B2}}/deepest part of the [[White Treehollow]] in [[White Forest]]{{sup/5|W2}}. Upon noticing the player, he urges them to challenge the facility as well and meet him there. This unlocks the facility in each version for the player to enter.

Benga is encountered a couple times throughout the player's journey through the Black Tower{{sup/5|B2}}/White Treehollow{{sup/5|W2}} where he comments on their bond with their Pokémon, the bonds of people and Pokémon in general, and more, until he is finally {{pkmn|battle}}d as the {{tc|Boss Trainer}} of Area 10, the final area of the facility. After being defeated, he tells the player to come meet him at Alder's house in Floccesy Town. If the player then returns to the house with an empty slot in their [[party]], Benga will give them a {{Shiny}} {{p|Gible}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{Shiny}} {{p|Dratini}}{{sup/5|W2}} as a {{pkmn2|gift}}, before returning to the Black Tower{{sup/5|B2}}/White Treehollow{{sup/5|W2}}. After that, he can no longer be battled and will be replaced with a different trainer in the facility.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===

Benga appears as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. He debuted in the 11th [[Mysterious Stones Chapter]], "[[Mysterious Stones Chapter|A Leader's Role, A Challenger's Struggle]]", alongside [[Lance (Masters)|Lance]], [[Clair (Masters)|Clair]], and [[Alder (Masters)|Alder]]. In the chapter, Lance and Clair are training while Alder watches. Suddenly, Benga arrives and is introduced to Lance and Clair by Alder, who says Benga is on-par, if not stronger, than himself. The two ask to battle him and he declines. Clair attempts to battle Benga anyway, but is defeated in a single attack. Lance asks if he can battle too, and Benga says that he "hasn't been through enough" yet, and refuses to battle Lance, saying he only battled Clair because of her passion for battles, desire to win, and how she saw Benga as an equal, whereas Lance saw Benga as nothing more than a challenger to eventually be defeated by. After this, Lance begins to reminisce on his past, and realizes he lost sight of why he became a trainer. Lance thanks Benga, and the two promise to battle when Lance becomes stronger. As the two talk, Alder begins to realize he needs to get stronger as well, as to avoid someday being surpassed by other trainers on Pasio.

'''Arven''' (Japanese: '''ペパー''' ''Peper''<ref>[https://bandai-a.akamaihd.net/bc/images/shop_top_candytoy/pokemonscaleworld_01_fjsdkm.jpg "Peper & Mafitiff & Parshen"] [https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/pokemonscaleworld/ Pokémon Scale World] figurine catalog image</ref>) is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. He is the son of [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}. He is the player's primary partner for the Path of Legends storyline of Scarlet and Violet, where he seeks out the [[Herba Mystica]].

==In the core series games==
Arven is an upperclassman at the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} close to graduation. He is skilled at cooking, and is a researcher of healthy recipes to make Pokémon feel better.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/arven/ Arven — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> He always carries a copy of the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} with him.<ref>(November 8, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/ The Scarlet Book and the Violet Book]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> He is enrolled in the {{wp|humanities|humanities}} track of the Academy, with his homeroom teacher being [[Salvatore]].

{{spoilers}}
Arven is the son of [[Professor Sada]]/[[Professor Turo|Turo]] and their unknown colleague (who was mentioned to have walked out after Arven was born). Due to the professor's devoutness to their research and the Tera Project, Arven mostly grew up alone in the lighthouse laboratory on [[Poco Path]]. The strained relationship led Arven to devote most of his time to his companion {{p|Mabosstiff}} (originally a {{p|Maschiff}}) as well as learning to cook and clean. He enjoys picnics, especially their outdoor settings and the [[Sandwich]]es made. At some point, the professor succeeded in creating a working time machine, bringing [[Paradox Pokémon]] to the present time. One such Pokémon was {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, which the professor brought to the lighthouse for safekeeping, instructing Arven to keep it a secret. However, multiple people ended up witnessing the [[Legendary Pokémon]] attacking several [[wild Pokémon]], and the professor was forced to bring the Pokémon back to the [[Zero Lab]]. Arven would end up not seeing his parent again until the ending events of the game, causing him to blame and loathe the Legendary Pokémon for taking his parent away from him. Eventually, he and Mabosstiff visited Area Zero in an attempt to find his parent, only for Mabosstiff to be attacked by a creature Arven describes as either "rampaging"{{sup/9|S}} or "a metallic machine"{{sup/9|V}}. After taking a [[Flying Taxi]] out of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], he tried to heal Mabosstiff using a [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Potion]]s, only to have failures due to his injuries being a special case. In desperation, he skipped his classes to research and attempt almost every cure available, yet he was not successful. At some point, he sifted through the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} and learned of the legendary [[Herba Mystica]], and, seeing his chance at revitalizing Mabosstiff, began to research them.

The player and [[Nemona]] first meet Arven on Poco Path, after meeting and being rescued by Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. Arven was searching his old home, the lighthouse lab, where he found a book previously owned by the professor, the mysterious Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}. When Nemona recognizes him as their son, he becomes angry and tells her that his parentage doesn't matter. Still, he is surprised to see the Legendary Pokémon outside of Area Zero, and the weakened state that it is in. After he learns the truth of what actually happened, he challenges the player to a battle to test whether or not they can control the Paradox Pokémon. After the battle, he lets the player take the Legendary off of his hands and gives them [[Koraidon's Poké Ball]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Miraidon's Poké Ball]]{{sup/9|V}} and runs down Poco Path on his way to the Academy, while Nemona yells at him to answer her questions.

===Path of Legends===
After the player's first class, Arven is waiting for them at the Cafeteria. There, he asks the player to help make his dream a reality: to help him defeat five [[Titan Pokémon]] so he can create recipes with the [[Herba Mystica]], special herbs that heal any Pokémon that eats them. From his research in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}, the Titans are incredibly strong, but because he isn't proficient at [[Pokémon battle]]s, he requires the help of a strong trainer, hoping the player would assist them. He asks them to think it over, and registers the locations of the titans on their [[Rotom Phone]]'s map.

After attending the Academy's opening ceremony for the annual "Treasure Hunt," he finds the player and Nemona in the center of [[Mesagoza]], below the steps to the Academy, conversing about [[Pokémon Gym]]s. He scolds Nemona for suggesting that the player would attempt to reach [[Champion]] Rank instead of assisting him in acquiring the Herba Mystica, much to her surprise and disapproval. When the player receives a sudden call from the mysterious character [[Cassiopeia]] regarding disbanding Team Star through defeating the bosses, he once again criticizes the idea, but is surprised when the stranger mentions him by name. After Nemona assures the player that they are free to follow whichever path they choose, Arven almost reveals his true intentions in his quest, but quickly changes the subject, mentioning how he plans to create the world's greatest sandwiches with the Herba Mystica. At this mention of sandwiches, Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} exits their [[Poké Ball]], angering Arven. The player mounts the Legendary, and he tells them that the best start on their search for the Titans will be past the east gate of the city. Afterwards, he leaves in frustration when Nemona recommends the opposite west gate for the path towards the Gyms, informing the player that he will see them soon.

Over the course of the game, the player participates in the Path of Legends storyline, joining Arven in defeating Titan Pokémon and creating various sandwiches using the Herba Mystica to both cure Mabosstiff and restore Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}'s power. Fortunately, the power of all five sandwiches restores the Legendary Pokémon to full strength, as well as bringing Mabosstiff's health back completely, making Arven ecstatic. However, Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} requests for the two to visit their laboratory at the Great Crater of Paldea, and for Arven to bring the Scarlet{{sup/9|S}}/Violet{{sup/9|V}} Book with him. Arven then battles the player at his full power to test if they're both ready to take on the most dangerous area in the region. Defeating him concludes the Path of Legends.

===The Way Home===
Joined by Nemona and Penny, Arven and the player make their way to [[Area Zero]] at the Great Crater of Paldea, following the professor's request, and are tasked with visiting four research stations to unlock the door to the professor's laboratory at the bottom. Arven initially butts heads with Penny, jealous of her and Nemona's friendship with the player, but later opens up about his lonely past to them, with him and Penny exchanging apologies and becoming friends. The further the group descends into Area Zero, the more they begin to encounter peculiar Pokémon, with similarities to those of the present day but with primeval{{sup/9|S}}/mechanical{{sup/9|V}} qualities. Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} reveals them to be Pokémon successfully summoned from a time machine they built in the Area Zero Depths. Arven attempts to ask the professor why they were called to Area Zero, but they become hesitant and request that they wait until they are face-to-face for a proper explanation. Seeing how the professor addresses the player as the one they hope to fix things, Arven hands them the copy of the Scarlet{{sup/9|S}}/Violet{{sup/9|V}} Book.

Upon reaching another research station, Arven and the player are surprised to see a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}}, just like the Quaking Earth Titan they faced previously. The pair defeat it, with Arven speculating if the Titan Pokémon they encountered on the surface of Paldea also came from Area Zero. Inside another research station, the Professor reveals that the Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} the player has been traveling with is only one of two species they were able to bring over to Area Zero, and Arven recounts his experiences with the dragon, and how he grew to hate it for playing a part in his parent's neglect. Arven and the others make their way to the final research station, where the message sent by Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} suddenly glitches out and "restarts", and though the professor attempts to play it off as transmission difficulties, an aggrieved Arven quickly realizes for himself that they haven't been talking to the real Professor at all.

The player's group eventually reaches the Zero Lab, where the Professor warns them of the Paradox Pokémon within that may try to escape. Concerned about the battle ahead, Arven suggests the player bring out Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} to assist them, remembering its strength and theorizing that being in Area Zero may coerce it out of its timid nature. The group and Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} watch as the door to the Zero Lab opens, only to be briefly confronted by the second Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}, whose aggressive disposition nearly initiates a battle before it sees the open Zero Lab and ventures inside. Arven and the others only have a brief moment to calm down before they are ambushed by the Paradox Pokémon escaping from the Zero Lab entrance. Arven assists the player in fighting a {{p|Flutter Mane}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Jugulis}}{{sup/9|V}} before telling the player to take their dragon and go on ahead into the Zero Lab. He also gives Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} a pep talk, encouraging it to stand up to its aggressive brethren before turning his attention to the remaining {{p|Brute Bonnet}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Hands}}{{sup/9|V}}.

Arven, Nemona and Penny manage to catch up to the player in the time machine chamber just as they have defeated the AI Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}}. Arven demands the robot identify themselves, but is surprised when the AI responds with the professor's voice, apologizing to their son for neglecting him for so long. Suddenly, the professor's Paradise Protection Protocol is initiated, locking all Poke Balls not matching the professor's ID. As the AI is overcome by Terastal energy, it warns the children to run before being fully disabled and overtaken by the program, which forces it to send out the aggressive Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. Arven watches as the player is forced to respond with their own Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}, due to the Poke Ball matching the professor's ID. As Arven, Nemona and Penny cheer the player and the dragon on, the latter is reinvigorated and regains its battle form. With Penny noticing the player's Tera Orb glowing, Arven calls for the player to finish it with Terastallization, and their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} uses a {{t|Dragon}}-type {{m|Tera Blast}} to defeat their aggressive counterpart, freeing the AI professor from the protocol's influence in the process.

The AI, however, recognizes that its systems are so integrally connected with the time machine that the machine cannot be shut down as long as it remains present, and so decides to permanently shut the machine down by personally using it one last time to visit the distant past{{sup/9|S}}/future{{sup/9|V}} the real professor dreamed of seeing. Before it departs, the AI apologizes to Arven again for hiding the truth from him, but reveals that it inherited all of the real professor's thoughts and wishes, and that Arven's mother{{sup/9|S}}/father{{sup/9|V}} truly loved him. Arven is distraught at the revelations, but can only shout for them one last time before the time machine activates, sends the AI professor away, and completely shuts down.

As the group leaves Area Zero, Arven reflects on his earlier suspicions about the professor's true nature, but how he couldn't help but want to believe they were real anyway. He is comforted by the others, who decide to cheer him up by deciding to take a slow and scenic route back to Mesagoza, concluding The Way Home and the main game.

===Post-game===
Director Clavell calls Arven and the other three to his office to congratulate them for their unsupervised-yet-heroic endeavors in Area Zero. He apologizes to Arven for the loss of his parent, but Arven remarks that the whole experience helped to clear his head a little, before deciding not to reminisce in the past too much and look forward to graduating with his friends. Unfortunately for Arven, this means catching up on a multitude of academy credits required for him to graduate.

The player battles Arven as their first opponent in the first [[Academy Ace Tournament]]. In subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments, he can be battled again as a random opponent.

===Mochi Mayhem===
After the player receives the Mythical Pecha Berry and inspects the peculiar toy at Peachy's, Arven calls them, wondering if he can hang out with them at their house. The player agrees and returns home to meet him, only to find Nemona and Penny as part of the welcome party. Arven apologizes, since the other two overheard his call and invited themselves over, but the player reassures him it's fine and invites them all inside. After dinner and dessert, the player reveals their invitation to Kitakami from their new friend [[Kieran]], and that Kieran provided extra tickets in case the player wanted to bring friends. Arven and the others accept the offer and decide to meet up in front of the southern gate of Mesagoza to leave.

The player returns to Kitakami with their Paldea buddies in tow and meet Kieran at his house. Though Arven retains a bit of old jealousy over the player having friends other than him, he soon realizes Kieran is a good person and feels bad for attempting to antagonize him. Just then, [[Carmine]] arrives, performing a weird dance, repeatedly chanting "mochi", and generally not acting her usual self. Kieran is concerned by his sister's peculiar behavior, though Arven and the others encourage him to stay positive. That night at the Community Center, Arven wants to change the TV display channel, tired of seeing the same tourism video on repeat, but Kieran tells him that the caretaker hid the remote, so Arven and the others race to find it, agreeing that whoever finds it gets to choose what to do with it.

The player finds the remote first, but they also discover Nemona's sudden disappearance. While Arven and Penny wait in the Community Center, the player and Kieran go outside to find Nemona, only to be confronted by Kieran's grandparents and other citizens in battle, all acting the same as Carmine. Meanwhile, Arven and Penny step outside for a moment, worried about the other two, but are also confronted by mochi-crazy citizens. Holed up at Peachy's, Arven calls the player to let them know what's going on, but the call abruptly ends when a strange creature frightens Penny into knocking Arven over and dropping his phone, so the player and Kieran rush back to Peachy's to help them. Arven is not completely convinced that Penny wasn't hallucinating, until he notices the creature - {{p|Pecharunt}} - floating above the roof of Peachy's. Penny confirms it as what she saw earlier, but before the group can theorize further, Pecharunt attacks them by flinging toxic mochi from itself towards their mouths.

While Arven and Penny unknowingly eat their mochi, the player dodges theirs and Kieran is spared when his mochi bonks him on the head. Arven and Penny soon fall under Pecharunt's control and start dancing like the others, though Arven's dance is much more reserved, and he appears extremely embarrassed to be forced to dance. The player and Kieran defeat Arven and Penny in a [[Multi Battle]] before chasing after the fleeing Pecharunt, who summons Arven and Penny, along with the rest of Mossui Town's villagers, to pin the player and Kieran at Loyalty Plaza. Kieran holds the horde off while the player defeats a mind-controlled Nemona and catches Pecharunt, freeing Arven and the others from its mochi-maddening clutches. Arven can barely recall what happened before Pecharunt took control of him, but Kieran and the player fill him and Penny in on the night's events. After spending some more peaceful time in Kitakami, the player and the others prepare to leave for Paldea, but not before thanking Kieran and Carmine for their hospitality. Arven apologizes to Kieran for initially antagonizing him, and while Kieran barely noticed, Carmine half-jokingly encourages Arven to keep doing so.

After the end of Mochi Mayhem, Arven can be invited as a coach to Blueberry Academy and battled once per invitation. After talking to the player a third time (once per invitation), he offers to trade the player a {{p|Skwovet}} with its Hidden Ability, {{a|Gluttony}}.

===Pokémon: Paldean Winds===
[[File:Arven Paldean Winds.png|250px|thumb|right|Arven in [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]]]]
Arven appeared in ''[[PPW01|Breathe Out]]''. He was first seen reading a book while walking on [[Glaseado Mountain]], where he ran into [[Ohara]]. Arven was abruptly attacked by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Cetitan}} and began to attempt to outrun it. He tripped and fell into the snow, but was saved by Ohara, who was able to calm Cetitan down with her flute.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Arven Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Arven in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Arven debuted in [[PASV01]]. He was first seen at [[Uva Academy]]'s opening ceremony, impatiently waiting for it to end so the Treasure Hunt could begin. Eventually, Arven fell asleep only to be abruptly woken up when {{adv|Violet}} crashed the ceremony and competed in a race against some teachers. To Arven's confusion, Violet somehow had {{p|Miraidon}} in his possession but refused to answer how he came across it. Instead, Arven was dragged along to help Violet search for the [[Herba Mystica]].

In [[PASV02]], while traveling to the location of a [[Titan Pokémon]], Violet explained how he befriended Miraidon and revealed it was Arven's father, [[Professor Turo]], who told him to find the Herba Mystica. They eventually arrived at [[Asado Desert]], where Violet challenged {{p|Iron Treads}}, the Quaking Earth Titan. Despite his best efforts, Violet was easily defeated, allowing the Titan to flee. Recognizing that Iron Treads was too powerful at their current level, Arven and Violet decided to challenge the Titan again after they trained and caught more Pokémon. While battling wild Pokémon, Violet came across a pair of {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s attempting to recruit a girl named [[Penny]] and drove them off.

In [[PASV04]], after Penny left, Violet received a call from someone going by the name "[[Cassiopeia]]". The caller recruited Arven and Violet as members of Operation Starfall, a plan to defeat each of Team Star's five squad bosses and force the group to disband. Days later, Arven and Violet arrived at the [[Segin Squad's Base]], where they were approached by [[Clavell]]. Disguised as a student named Clive, Clavell requested to join Operation Starfall as well, which Cassiopeia accepted. Violet was unable to see through Clavell's disguise, much to Arven's bafflement, but Clavell quietly told Arven to play along. Arven and Violet battled through waves of Team Star Grunts in a Star Barrage while Clavell played support by healing their injured Pokémon. As he only had one Pokémon capable of battling, Arven was unable to keep pace with Violet, leaving the latter alone to battle the Dark Squad boss [[Giacomo]]. Eventually, Giacomo was defeated and stepped down as boss before revealing that Team Star's prolonged truancy was because they were waiting for their true leader, the "big boss", to return to them.

Later, at [[South Province (Area Three)]], Arven and Violet encountered {{p|Klawf}}, the Stony Cliff Titan. Despite their best efforts, the Titan kept dodging their Pokémon's attacks by using the area's terrain to its advantage. Realizing that a higher location would be the best way to find Klawf's whereabouts, Violet told Arven to head to the nearest watchtower. Arven agreed, but when he climbed to the top, he was shocked to find an unconscious [[Nemona]] lying there. Once she woke up, Nemona explained she was resting to recover from a {{p|Gimmighoul}} attack. After learning that Arven and Violet were taking on a Titan, Nemona begged them to let her join in. Arven and Nemona fired a pincer attack at Klawf, forcing it to run into the path of Violet's next attack, defeating it. Afterward, Arven used the [[Sweet Herba Mystica]] that Klawf was guarding to make sandwiches for everyone to enjoy.

==In the TCG==
===Arven===
{{main|Arven (Scarlet & Violet 166)}}
'''Arven''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, with artwork by [[GIDORA]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} print illustrated by the same artist, and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[kantaro]] were released in the same sets. A second {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[aspara]] was released in the Japanese {{TCG|Shiny Treasure ex}} subset and the English {{TCG|Paldean Fates}} expansion. The card lets players search their deck for an {{TCG|Item card}} and a {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}, reveal them, and put them in their hand. Afterwards, the player shuffles their deck.

==Trivia==
* Excluding Mabosstiff, all of Arven's Pokémon are related to food or cooking: Cloyster represents oysters, Toedscruel represents mushrooms, Garganacl represents salt, Scovillain represents peppers and spices, and Greedent is known to collect and store {{Berries}} and possibly represents taste-testing food during preparation.
* A version of the framed photograph in Arven's dorm room can be seen in the [[Zero Lab]], with a younger Arven fully in frame with his Maschiff.
* Arven's [[Rotom Phone]] uses a [[List of clothing in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Rotom Phone|Flabébé Flower Case]].
* All of the Pokémon Arven uses against the [[Titan Pokémon]] have type advantages against the Titan Pokémon, with the exception of Greedent.
** Arven's Greedent does, however, know the {{type|Grass}} move {{m|Bullet Seed}}, which is super effective against Titan {{p|Dondozo}}, but it knows no moves that would be super effective against the {{p|Tatsugiri}} in the same fight.
* There is a possibility for Arven's Pokémon to appear as a {{Shiny}} during the [[Multi Battle]]s against the Titans. However, they will not remain Shiny in any further battles.
* Before Arven Terastallizes Mabosstiff, he holds his Poké Ball upside down.
* Arven was awarded the 2022 Famitsu Dengeki Game Award for Best Character. During the event, {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} director [[Shigeru Ohmori]] explained via a written message that Arven's character was based on his personal experience of losing his parents at a young age.<ref>https://www.famitsu.com/news/202303/18296051.html</ref>

'''Arven''' (Japanese: '''ペパー''' ''Peper''<ref>[https://bandai-a.akamaihd.net/bc/images/shop_top_candytoy/pokemonscaleworld_01_fjsdkm.jpg "Peper & Mafitiff & Parshen"] [https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/pokemonscaleworld/ Pokémon Scale World] figurine catalog image</ref>) is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. He is the teen son of [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}. He is the player's primary partner for the Path of Legends storyline of Scarlet and Violet, where he seeks out the [[Herba Mystica]].

==In the core series games==
Arven is an upperclassman at the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. He is skilled at cooking, and is a researcher of healthy recipes to make Pokémon feel better.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/arven/ Arven — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> He always carries a copy of the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} with him.<ref>(November 8, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/ The Scarlet Book and the Violet Book]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> He is enrolled in the {{wp|humanities|humanities}} track of the Academy, with his homeroom teacher being [[Salvatore]].

{{spoilers}}
Arven is the son of [[Professor Sada]]/[[Professor Turo|Turo]] and their unknown colleague (who was mentioned to have walked out after Arven was born). Due to the professor's devoutness to their research and the Tera Project, Arven mostly grew up alone in the lighthouse laboratory on [[Poco Path]]. The strained relationship led Arven to devote most of his time to his companion {{p|Mabosstiff}} (originally a {{p|Maschiff}}) as well as learning to cook and clean. He enjoys picnics, especially their outdoor settings and the [[Sandwich]]es made. At some point, the professor succeeded in creating a working time machine, bringing [[Paradox Pokémon]] to the present time. One such Pokémon was {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, which the professor brought to the lighthouse for safekeeping, instructing Arven to keep it a secret. However, multiple people ended up witnessing the [[Legendary Pokémon]] attacking several [[wild Pokémon]], and the professor was forced to bring the Pokémon back to the [[Zero Lab]]. Arven would end up not seeing his parent again until the ending events of the game, causing him to blame and loathe the Legendary Pokémon for taking his parent away from him. Eventually, he and Mabosstiff visited Area Zero in an attempt to find his parent, only for Mabosstiff to be attacked by a creature Arven describes as either "rampaging"{{sup/9|S}} or "metallic, machine"{{sup/9|V}}. After taking a [[Flying Taxi]] out of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], he tried to heal Mabosstiff using a [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Potion]]s, only to have failures due to his injuries being a special case. In desperation, he skipped his classes to research and attempt almost every cure available, yet he was not successful. At some point, he sifted through the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} and learned of the legendary [[Herba Mystica]], and - seeing his chance at revitalizing Mabosstiff - began to research them.

The player and [[Nemona]] first meet Arven on Poco Path, after meeting and being rescued by Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. Arven was searching his old home, the lighthouse lab, where he found a book previously owned by the professor, the mysterious Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}. When Nemona recognizes him as their son, he becomes angry and tells her that his parentage doesn't matter. Still, he is surprised to see the Legendary Pokémon outside of Area Zero, and the weakened state that it is in. After he learns the truth of what actually happened, he challenges the player to a battle with his newly caught {{p|Skwovet}} to test whether or not they can control the Paradox Pokémon. After the battle, he lets the player take the Legendary off of his hands and gives them [[Koraidon's Poké Ball]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Miraidon's Poké Ball]]{{sup/9|V}} and runs down Poco Path on his way to the Academy, while Nemona yells at him to answer her questions.

===Path of Legends===
After the player's first class, Arven is waiting for them at the Cafeteria. Already knowing their name due to them becoming a school celebrity, he asks the player to help make his dream a reality: to help him defeat five [[Titan Pokémon]] so he can create recipes with the [[Herba Mystica]], special herbs that heal any Pokémon that eats them. From his research in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}, the Titans are incredibly strong, but because he isn't proficient at [[Pokémon battle]]s, he requires the help of a strong trainer, hoping the player would assist them. He asks them to think it over, and registers the locations of the titans on their [[Rotom Phone]]'s map.

After attending the Academy's opening ceremony for the annual "Treasure Hunt," he finds the player and Nemona in the center of [[Mesagoza]], below the steps to the Academy, conversing about [[Pokémon Gym]]s. He scolds Nemona for suggesting that the player would attempt to reach [[Champion]] Rank instead of assisting him in acquiring the Herba Mystica, much to her surprise and disapproval. When the player receives a sudden call from the mysterious character [[Cassiopeia]] regarding disbanding Team Star through defeating the bosses, he once again criticizes the idea, but is surprised when the stranger mentions him by name. After Nemona assures the player that they are free to follow whichever path they choose, Arven almost reveals his true intentions in his quest, but quickly changes the subject, mentioning how he plans to create the world's greatest sandwiches with the Herba Mystica. At this mention of sandwiches, Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} exits their [[Poké Ball]], angering Arven. The player mounts the Legendary, and he tells them that the best start on their search for the Titans will be past the east gate of the city. Afterwards, he leaves in frustration when Nemona recommends the opposite west gate for the path towards the Gyms, informing the player that he will see them soon.

Over the course of the game, the player participates in the Path of Legends storyline, joining Arven in defeating Titan Pokémon and creating various sandwiches using the Herba Mystica to both cure Mabosstiff and restore Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}'s power. Fortunately, the power of all five sandwiches restores the Legendary Pokémon to full strength, as well as bringing Mabosstiff's health back completely, making Arven ecstatic. However, Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} requests for the two to visit their laboratory at the Great Crater of Paldea, and for Arven to bring the Scarlet{{sup/9|S}}/Violet{{sup/9|V}} Book with him. Arven then battles the player at his full power to test if they're both ready to take on the most dangerous area in the region. Defeating him concludes the Path of Legends.

===The Way Home===
Joined by Nemona and Penny, Arven and the player make their way to [[Area Zero]] at the Great Crater of Paldea, following the professor's request, and are tasked with visiting four research stations to unlock the door to the professor's laboratory at the bottom. Arven initially butts heads with Penny, jealous of her and Nemona's friendship with the player, but later opens up about his lonely past to them, with him and Penny exchanging apologies and becoming friends. The further the group descends into Area Zero, the more they begin to encounter peculiar Pokémon, with similarities to those of the present day but with primeval{{sup/9|S}}/mechanical{{sup/9|V}} qualities. Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} reveals them to be Pokémon successfully summoned from a time machine they built in the Area Zero Depths. Arven attempts to ask the professor why they were called to Area Zero, but they become hesitant and request that they wait until they are face-to-face for a proper explanation. Seeing how the professor addresses the player as the one they hope to fix things, Arven hands them the copy of the Scarlet{{sup/9|S}}/Violet{{sup/9|V}} Book.

Upon reaching another research station, Arven and the player are surprised to see a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}}, just like the Quaking Earth Titan they faced previously. The pair defeat it, with Arven speculating if the Titan Pokémon they encountered on the surface of Paldea also came from Area Zero. Inside another research station, the Professor reveals that the Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} the player has been traveling with is only one of two species they were able to bring over to Area Zero, and Arven recounts his experiences with the dragon, and how he grew to hate it for playing a part in his parent's neglect. Arven and the others make their way to the final research station, where the message sent by Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} suddenly glitches out and "restarts", and though the professor attempts to play it off as transmission difficulties, an aggrieved Arven quickly realizes for himself that they haven't been talking to the real Professor at all.

The player's group eventually reaches the Zero Lab, where the Professor warns them of the Paradox Pokémon within that may try to escape. Concerned about the battle ahead, Arven suggests the player bring out Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} to assist them, remembering its strength and theorizing that being in Area Zero may coerce it out of its timid nature. The group and Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} watch as the door to the Zero Lab opens, only to be briefly confronted by the second Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}, whose aggressive disposition nearly initiates a battle before it sees the open Zero Lab and ventures inside. Arven and the others only have a brief moment to calm down before they are ambushed by the Paradox Pokémon escaping from the Zero Lab entrance. Arven assists the player in fighting a {{p|Flutter Mane}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Jugulis}}{{sup/9|V}} before telling the player to take their dragon and go on ahead into the Zero Lab. He also gives Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} a pep talk, encouraging it to stand up to its aggressive brethren before turning his attention to the remaining {{p|Brute Bonnet}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Hands}}{{sup/9|V}}.

Arven, Nemona and Penny manage to catch up to the player in the time machine chamber just as they have defeated the AI Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}}. Arven demands the robot identify themselves, but is surprised when the AI responds with the professor's voice, apologizing to their son for neglecting him for so long. Suddenly, the professor's Paradise Protection Protocol is initiated, locking all Poke Balls not matching the professor's ID. As the AI is overcome by Terastal energy, it warns the children to run before being fully disabled and overtaken by the program, which forces it to send out the aggressive Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. Arven watches as the player is forced to respond with their own Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}, due to the Poke Ball matching the professor's ID. As Arven, Nemona and Penny cheer the player and the dragon on, the latter is reinvigorated and regains its battle form. With Penny noticing the player's Tera Orb glowing, Arven calls for the player to finish it with Terastallization, and their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} uses a {{t|Dragon}}-type {{m|Tera Blast}} to defeat their aggressive counterpart, freeing the AI professor from the protocol's influence in the process.

The AI, however, recognizes that its systems are so integrally connected with the time machine that the machine cannot be shut down as long as it remains present, and so decides to permanently shut the machine down by personally using it one last time to visit the distant past{{sup/9|S}}/future{{sup/9|V}} the real professor dreamed of seeing. Before it departs, the AI apologizes to Arven again for hiding the truth from him, but reveals that it inherited all of the real professor's thoughts and wishes, and that Arven's mother{{sup/9|S}}/father{{sup/9|V}} truly loved him. Arven is distraught at the revelations, but can only shout for them one last time before the time machine activates, sends the AI professor away, and completely shuts down.

As the group leaves Area Zero, Arven reflects on his earlier suspicions about the professor's true nature, but how he couldn't help but want to believe they were real anyway. He is comforted by the others, who decide to cheer him up by deciding to take a slow and scenic route back to Mesagoza, concluding The Way Home and the main game.

===Post-game===
Director Clavell calls Arven and the other three to his office to congratulate them for their unsupervised-yet-heroic endeavors in Area Zero. He apologizes to Arven for the loss of his parent, but Arven remarks that the whole experience helped to clear his head a little, before deciding not to reminisce in the past too much and look forward to graduating with his friends. Unfortunately for Arven, this means catching up on a multitude of academy credits.

The player battles Arven as their first opponent in the first [[Academy Ace Tournament]]. In subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments, he can be battled again as a random opponent.

===Mochi Mayhem===
After the player receives the Mythical Pecha Berry and inspects the peculiar toy at Peachy's, Arven calls them, wondering if he can hang out with them at their house. The player agrees and returns home to meet him, only to find Nemona and Penny as part of the welcome party. Arven apologizes, since the other two overheard his call and invited themselves over, but the player reassures him it's fine and invites them all inside. After dinner and dessert, the player reveals their invitation to Kitakami from their new friend [[Kieran]], and that Kieran provided extra tickets in case the player wanted to bring friends. Arven and the others accept the offer and decide to meet up in front of the southern gate of Mesagoza to leave.

The player returns to Kitakami with their Paldea buddies in tow and meet Kieran at his house. Though Arven retains a bit of old jealousy over the player having friends other than him, he soon realizes Kieran is a good person and feels bad for attempting to antagonize him. Just then, [[Carmine]] arrives, performing a weird dance, repeatedly chanting "mochi", and generally not acting her usual self. Kieran is concerned by his sister's peculiar behavior, though Arven and the others encourage him to stay positive. That night at the Community Center, Arven wants to change the TV display channel, tired of seeing the same tourism video on repeat, but Kieran tells him that the caretaker hid the remote, so Arven and the others race to find it, agreeing that whoever finds it gets to choose what to do with it.

The player finds the remote first, but they also discover Nemona's sudden disappearance. While Arven and Penny wait in the Community Center, the player and Kieran go outside to find Nemona, only to be confronted by Kieran's grandparents and other citizens in battle, all acting the same as Carmine. Meanwhile, Arven and Penny step outside for a moment, worried about the other two, but are also confronted by mochi-crazy citizens. Holed up at Peachy's, Arven calls the player to let them know what's going on, but the call abruptly ends when a strange creature frightens Penny into knocking Arven over and dropping his phone, so the player and Kieran rush back to Peachy's to help them. Arven is not completely convinced that Penny wasn't hallucinating, until he notices the creature - {{p|Pecharunt}} - floating above the roof of Peachy's. Penny confirms it as what she saw earlier, but before the group can theorize further, Pecharunt attacks them by flinging toxic mochi from itself towards their mouths.

While Arven and Penny unknowingly eat their mochi, the player dodges theirs and Kieran is spared when his mochi bonks him on the head. Arven and Penny soon fall under Pecharunt's control and start dancing like the others, though Arven's dance is much more reserved, and he appears extremely embarrassed to be forced to dance. The player and Kieran defeat Arven and Penny in a [[Multi Battle]] before chasing after the fleeing Pecharunt, who summons Arven and Penny, along with the rest of Mossui Town's villagers, to pin the player and Kieran at Loyalty Plaza. Kieran holds the horde off while the player defeats a mind-controlled Nemona and catches Pecharunt, freeing Arven and the others from its mochi-maddening clutches. Arven can barely recall what happened before Pecharunt took control of him, but Kieran and the player fill him and Penny in on the night's events. After spending some more peaceful time in Kitakami, the player and the others prepare to leave for Paldea, but not before thanking Kieran and Carmine for their hospitality. Arven apologizes to Kieran for initially antagonizing him, and while Kieran barely noticed, Carmine half-jokingly encourages Arven to keep doing so.

After the end of Mochi Mayhem, Arven can be invited as a coach to Blueberry Academy and battled once per invitation. After talking to the player a third time (once per invitation), he offers to trade the player a {{p|Skwovet}} with its Hidden Ability, {{a|Gluttony}}.

===Pokémon: Paldean Winds===
[[File:Arven Paldean Winds.png|250px|thumb|right|Arven in [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]]]]
Arven appeared in ''[[PPW01|Breathe Out]]''. He was first seen reading a book while walking on [[Glaseado Mountain]], where he ran into [[Ohara]]. Arven was abruptly attacked by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Cetitan}} and began to sprint in order to outrun it. He tripped and fell into the snow, but was saved by Ohara, who was able to calm Cetitan down with her flute.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Arven Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Arven in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Arven debuted in [[PASV01]]. He was first seen at [[Uva Academy]]'s opening ceremony, impatiently waiting for it to end so the Treasure Hunt could begin. Eventually, Arven fell asleep only to be abruptly woken up when {{adv|Violet}} crashed the ceremony and competed in a race against some teachers. To Arven's confusion, Violet somehow had {{p|Miraidon}} in his possession but refused to answer how he came across it. Instead, Arven was dragged along to help Violet search for the [[Herba Mystica]].

In [[PASV02]], while traveling to the location of a [[Titan Pokémon]], Violet explained how he befriended Miraidon and revealed it was Arven's father, [[Professor Turo]], who told him to find the Herba Mystica. They eventually arrived at [[Asado Desert]], where Violet challenged {{p|Iron Treads}}, the Quaking Earth Titan. Despite his best efforts, Violet was easily defeated, allowing the Titan to flee. Recognizing that Iron Treads was too powerful at their current level, Arven and Violet decided to challenge the Titan again after they trained and caught more Pokémon. While battling wild Pokémon, Violet came across a pair of {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s attempting to recruit a girl named [[Penny]] and drove them off.

In [[PASV04]], after Penny left, Violet received a call from someone going by the name "[[Cassiopeia]]". The caller recruited Arven and Violet as members of Operation Starfall, a plan to defeat each of Team Star's five squad bosses and force the group to disband. Days later, Arven and Violet arrived at the [[Segin Squad's Base]], where they were approached by [[Clavell]]. Disguised as a student named Clive, Clavell requested to join Operation Starfall as well, which Cassiopeia accepted. Violet was unable to see through his disguise, much to Arven's bafflement, but Clavell quietly told Arven to play along. Arven and Violet battled through waves of Grunts in a Star Barrage while Clavell played support by healing their injured Pokémon. As he only had one Pokémon capable of battling, Arven was unable to keep pace with Violet, leaving the latter alone to battle the Dark Squad boss [[Giacomo]]. Eventually, Giacomo was defeated and stepped down as boss before revealing that Team Star's prolonged truancy was because they were waiting for their true leader, the "big boss", to return to them.

Later, at [[South Province (Area Three)]], Arven and Violet encountered {{p|Klawf}}, the Stony Cliff Titan. Despite their best efforts, the Titan kept dodging their Pokémon's attacks by using the area's terrain to its advantage. Realizing that a higher location would be the best way to find Klawf's whereabouts, Violet told Arven to head to the nearest watchtower. Arven agreed, but when he climbed to the top, he was shocked to find an unconscious [[Nemona]] lying there. Once she woke up, Nemona explained she was resting to recover from a {{p|Gimmighoul}} attack. After learning that Arven and Violet were taking on a Titan, Nemona begged them to let her join in. Arven and Nemona fired a pincer attack at Klawf, forcing it to run into the path of Violet's next attack, defeating it. Afterward, Arven used the [[Sweet Herba Mystica]] that Klawf was guarding to make sandwiches for everyone to enjoy.

===Arven===
{{main|Arven (Scarlet & Violet 166)}}
'''Arven''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, with artwork by [[GIDORA]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} print illustrated by the same artist, and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[kantaro]] were released in the same sets. A second {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[aspara]] was released in the Japanese {{TCG|Shiny Treasure ex}} subset and the English {{TCG|Paldean Fates}} expansion. The card lets players search their deck for an {{TCG|Item card}} and a {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}, reveal them, and put them in their hand. Afterwards, the player shuffles their deck.

==Trivia==
* Excluding Mabosstiff, all of Arven's Pokémon are related to food or cooking: Cloyster represents oysters, Toedscruel represents mushrooms, Garganacl represents salt, Scovillain represents peppers and spices, and Greedent is known to collect and store {{Berries}}.
* A version of the framed photograph in Arven's dorm room can be seen in the [[Zero Lab]], with a younger Arven fully in frame with his Maschiff.
* Arven's [[Rotom Phone]] uses a [[List of clothing in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Rotom Phone|Flabébé Flower Case]].
* All of the Pokémon Arven uses against the [[Titan Pokémon]] have type advantages against the Titan Pokémon, with the exception of Greedent.
** Arven's Greedent does, however, know the {{type|Grass}} move {{m|Bullet Seed}}, which is super effective against Titan {{p|Dondozo}}, but it knows no moves that would be super effective against {{p|Tatsugiri}}.
* There is a possibility for Arven's Pokémon to appear as a {{Shiny}} during the [[Multi Battle]]s against the Titans. However, they will not remain Shiny in any further battles.
* Before Arven Terastallizes Mabosstiff, he holds his Poké Ball upside down.
* Arven was awarded the 2022 Famitsu Dengeki Game Award for Best Character. During the event, {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} director [[Shigeru Ohmori]] explained via a written message that Arven's character was based on his personal experience of losing his parents at a young age.<ref>https://www.famitsu.com/news/202303/18296051.html</ref>

[[File:Cabo Poco Paldean Winds.png|thumb|250px|Cabo Poco in [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]]]]
===Main series===
Cabo Poco is the [[hometown]] of [[Liko]], her father [[Alex]], and her mother [[Lucca]]. It first appeared in ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', where Liko returned home after visiting [[Mesagoza]], accompanied by [[Roy]] and [[Friede]]. After getting her father's permission to continue traveling with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], Liko left home once more.

In [[HZ046]], Liko was shown to have returned home once more following her, Roy, and [[Dot]]'s decision to learn more about the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. Lucca later escorted her to [[Los Platos]], from where Liko continued on her own to [[Mesagoza]] so she could start attending [[Naranja Academy]].

===Biri-Biri===
The battle court on the private beach behind [[Nemona]]'s house appeared in the music video for [[Biri-Biri]], where a battle was held between {{ga|Juliana|Anna}}'s {{p|Fuecoco}} and Nemona's {{p|Sprigatito}}

===Pokémon: Paldean Winds===
Cabo Poco briefly appeared at the beginning of ''[[PPW04|Breathe Together]]''.

==In the TCG==
[[File:BeachCourtParadoxRift263.jpg|200px|thumb|Hyper rare print of Beach Court]]
{{main|Beach Court (Scarlet & Violet 167)}}
The battle court on the private beach behind Nemona's house is featured in the TCG as '''Beach Court''', which was introduced as a {{TCG|Stadium card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} set before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, with artwork by [[Oswaldo KATO]]. A gold-etched {{TCG|hyper rare}} print with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion. It reduces the retreat cost of all {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} in play by 1.

==Trivia==
* In Nemona's house in Cabo Poco, there is a painting that resembles a Greninja. The front of her house has stained glass around the door that resembles a Tropius.
* Even though Cabo Poco is considered a town in the game, it is actually more of a {{wp|hamlet (place)|hamlet}} due to it consisting of only two houses.

Talk:Carmine

2024-01-18T22:25:55Z

StoneSlab: /* Age */ new section

== Name origin ==
Hi all, I'd like to suggest the etymologies for Carmine's names in Japanese and English: Zeiyu (ゼイユ) comes from the French word "groseille" (katakana: グロゼイユ ''gurozeiyu''), which means redcurrant. And of course carmine is a deep red colour pigment.
I will discuss Kieran's etymology in his talk page as well.
Cheers!
--[[User:DecafSnorlax|DecafSnorlax]] ([[User talk:DecafSnorlax|talk]]) 06:15, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

== Age ==

Due to the school being essentially a unovan high school and carmine’s class being 3-2, it further confirms she’s a third year student, which puts her at around 16-17. Is that relevant enough to be added to the page, or should it stay the way it is? (apologies if this is formatted wrong, I’m on mobile right now.)

Drayton

2024-01-13T13:16:44Z

StoneSlab: /* Trivia */Added content Whether or not there is actually any romantic intent is unknown, the game heavily implies everyone involved thought it was romantic to some degree. And to clarify for a previous edit: That alone doesn’t imply anything romantic, it just explains how he uses the term no matter what.

'''Drayton''' (Japanese: '''カキツバタ''' ''Kakitsubata'') is a character introduced in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. He is a student attending [[Blueberry Academy]], and a member of the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} [[Elite Four]].

==In the core series games==
Drayton has a friendly and laid-back personality. Although Drayton appears unserious, he is really skilled in battling. However, he also skips class often, apparently having to repeat a year three times as a result. Drayton comes from a prestigious family and is the grandson of [[Drayden]], the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Opelucid Gym]]. Through his grandfather, Drayton is acquainted with [[Hassel]] of [[Paldea]]'s Elite Four. He used to be the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} {{pkmn|Champion}}, though he never formally referred to himself as one due to wanting to avoid the responsibilities of being the [[League Club Room|League Club]] president, which come with the title. He was eventually dethroned by [[Kieran]], lowering him to instead being the leading member of the BB League Elite Four, situated at [[Polar Plaza]].

Drayton first meets the player at [[Central Plaza]] after they've defeated [[Carmine]] and takes them to the [[League Club Room]], where he introduces them to the BB League. Later at the [[Blueberry Academy Cafeteria]], he suggests to Kieran and the other Elite Four members that the player should be allowed to enter the BB League. After a vote between the five ends in the player's favor, Drayton helps them register for the BB League. Each time an Elite Four member is defeated other then himself, Drayton comes by to congratulate the player. Drayton is also the only one who does not require the player to pay [[Battle Point|Blueberry Points]] to register for his Elite Trial, and he asks his receptionist to charge it to his account instead.

His Elite Trial forces the player to battle three {{tc|League Club}} members using only Pokémon that were caught in the [[Terarium]], which excludes any Pokémon caught in a [[Tera Raid]]. After the trial has been cleared, Drayton can be battled. The player does not need to use these Terarium Pokémon during their battle with Drayton. He rewards the player with {{TM|226|Dragon Cheer}} upon being beaten.

After the player has defeated Kieran, Drayton gives them a [[Master Ball]]. Drayton, along with the player, Kieran, and Carmine, are invited to [[Briar]]'s classroom, where she requests that they join her on an expedition to [[Area Zero]]. While the rest accept the request, Drayton declines, claiming he needs to guide the League Club through the aftermath of Kieran's dethroning, but in reality is just feeling too lazy to travel all the way to [[Paldea]].

After the player has caught {{p|Terapagos}}, Drayton can be found in the [[League Club Room]], where he offers to [[rematch]] the player once a day.

===Pokémon===
Drayton's {{p|Archaludon}} knows {{m|Dragon Pulse}} in the first battle and {{m|Draco Meteor}} when challenged at the [[League Club Room]]. Drayton will always send out Archaludon last and [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallize]] it at the first opportunity.

==Trivia==
* The pattern on Drayton's cape, which is worn as a waistcloth, resembles the symbol icon that represents the {{t|Dragon}} type in {{LGPE}}, [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], [[Pokémon HOME]], and [[Pokémon GO]].
* Drayton's Elite Trial and battle share similarities with [[Raihan]]'s Gym Challenge and Gym battle in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
** For the respective challenges prior to the {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|boss}} fights, the player faces three Trainers in [[Double Battle]]s who do not use Dragon types exclusively.
** Both Drayton and Raihan use a member of the {{p|Duraludon}} evolutionary line as their highest-level Pokémon.
** Both of their teams have multiple users of the move {{m|Breaking Swipe}}.
* Drayton is the only Elite Four member that is always present in the [[League Club Room]] in the post-game. This may allude to him never attending class.
* Drayton refers to meeting the player at the cafeteria as a "date", regardless of the player's gender.

==Trivia==
* The pattern on Drayton's cape, which is worn as a waistcloth, resembles the symbol icon that represents the {{t|Dragon}} type in {{LGPE}}, [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], [[Pokémon HOME]], and [[Pokémon GO]].
* Drayton's Elite Trial and battle share similarities with [[Raihan]]'s Gym Challenge and Gym battle in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
** For the respective challenges prior to the {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|boss}} fights, the player faces three Trainers in [[Double Battle]]s who do not use Dragon types exclusively.
** Both Drayton and Raihan use a member of the {{p|Duraludon}} evolutionary line as their highest-level Pokémon.
** Both of their teams have multiple users of the move {{m|Breaking Swipe}}.
* Drayton is the only Elite Four member that is always present in the [[League Club Room]] in the post-game. This may allude to him never attending class.
