Event notification image
Type Special event
First run April 1 to 2, 2024
Featured sync pairs None

Electricity Disruptors (Japanese: でんきをとめるもの The Thing That Cuts Off the Power) was a one-day-only special event in Pokémon Masters EX to celebrate April Fools' Day 2024. It was focused on ghosts and Ghost-type Pokémon.

During this event, the Pokémon Center was shrouded in darkness, and the background music was changed to the Lavender Town theme from Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow. All the normal Trainers visiting the Pokémon Center were replaced with special interactions, including Trainers reacting to the blackout and interactions with Ghost-type Pokémon. As a consequence of this, players could not receive items from talking to Trainers in the Pokémon Center for the duration of the event. All special interactions were included in one of two groups; one group of interactions was randomly selected each time the Pokémon Center was loaded. Additionally, the event conversation at Trista's counter was replaced by an event conversation with Volkner.

Unlike previous April Fools' Day events, no special log-in bonus was available alongside this event. However, players could take on a battle against Acerola to earn 300 Gems.

Plot

At the Pokémon Center in Centra City, the lights have all gone out, and Lear blames Volkner for tinkering with machines and causing a blackout again. Volkner points out that Lear reinforced Pasio's electrical systems specifically to avoid outages like this, so he thinks something else is going on. Agatha agrees with him, noting that large numbers of Ghost-type Pokémon have gathered in the Pokémon Center. Lear doesn't think that the power will be coming back on anytime soon if they don't know the cause, so Bertha and Agatha advise the player to be careful today, especially when speaking to other people.

Later, the player meets up with Volkner in the Pokémon Center, and he asks if they encountered anything strange. Regardless of the player's answer, he'll say that something weird happened here. He says that some Electric-type Pokémon chewing on power cables caused the blackout, and he invites the player to come with him to fix the cables. If the player refuses, he turns around and says that he's so lonely, while if the player accepts, he turns around and says in a weird way that they should go. Either way, the player gets a distinct impression that this person may not be Volkner at all.

Script

  • Be Careful of the Darkness
Name Text
(Lear, Volkner, Agatha, and Bertha are gathered in the Pokémon Center, which is shrouded in darkness; many Ghost-type Pokémon are gathered in the background)
Lear ... ... ...
Volkner...
You. Did. It. Again! Didn't you?!
Volkner W-Wait a second!
...OK, yes—I was fiddling with machines, but not even I would make enough mistakes to cause THIS many blackouts!
And weren't YOU the one who reinforced Pasio's electrical systems specifically to avoid outages like these happening?
Lear Well... Yes, I suppose that's true.
Volkner So yeah, this blackout isn't only on me. Something strange is going on.
Agatha You are correct, child.
I don't know where they're coming from, but unusual numbers of Ghost-type Pokémon are gathering here.
These old bones can feel it... Something's amiss.
Volkner You see? Even Bertha agrees with me.
Agatha Bertha? I'm Agatha! What a rude young man you are, mixing up people's names!
Volkner Oh, sorry about that. It's so dark in here, I can't see all that well.
Bertha At any rate... Is there no chance the power will come back on soon?
Lear Probably not... If it wasn't Volkner's tinkering that caused this, it may take some time to fix.
I'd expect us to be stuck in the dark for a while.
Bertha I see. We'd best be careful, then.
Agatha Indeed. After all, those you encounter in the darkness may not all be of this world...
Be very careful if you speak to anyone today, <player>...
(Fade to black; a Pumpkaboo's cry is heard)


  • Pokémon Center (event conversation)
Name Text
Volkner Something's off...
Volkner Pasio's electrical system has been well-reinforced. It shouldn't be so easy for blackouts to just happen like this.
Maybe this is just a prank played by some ghost Pokémon... I hope so, anyway.

Chew marks were found on the power cables.
Sheesh... Those Pokémon are such a pain...
I'm about to go fix the cables now. Come along with me, <player>.
