;Special Event - The Classic Thunderbolt
*'''Where Are We?!'''
: ''"Where are we?"''
: ''"I'm so hungry, Pikachu..."''
: ''"Maybe we trained a little too hard..."''
: ''"Aw, man... I can't take it anymore..."''

*'''Ash's Sync Move Practice'''
: ''"Mmm, that food was great! That was a huge help! Thanks!"''
: ''"Uh... So, could you explain what [[Pasio|this place]] is?"''
: ''"Whoa, really? So Trainers from all over the world come here? And [[Lear|you're]], like, the king and creator of this place?! That's so cool!"''
: ''"Of course! I'm really good at battling!"''
: ''"Come on out, everyone!"''
: ''"I'm Ash, from Pallet Town! My dream is to become a Pokémon Master!"''
: ''"By the way, we've been training for this thing called the [[Masters Eight Tournament]]!"''
: ''"If you don't mind us being here, could we stay on Pasio for a while?"''
: ''"Awesome! Thanks, Lear!"''
: ''"OK!"''
: ''"Thanks, <player>! And...what was [[Tina|your]] name again?"''
: ''"Yeah! Nice to meet you!"''
: ''"Oh! Wait, Lear! One more thing!"''
: ''"Once you're done with whatever you're busy with, let's have a battle!"''
: ''"Whoa! So that's a [[sync move]], huh!"''
: ''"I wanna try that, too! I wonder if I can do it!"''
: ''"Yup! There's supposed to be something called a [[sync stone]] in there. It turns the strength of your bond with your Pokémon into power, right?"''
: ''"Sure thing! Ready when you are, Tina!"''
: ''"What?!"''
: ''"What's the matter? If you're not gonna use your move, then I guess it's our turn!"''
: ''"Wait, was that–"''
: ''"Really? That was it?! We did it, Pikachu!"''

*'''Flareon's Rebellion'''
: ''"I wonder why your sync move didn't work, Tina."''
: ''"Do you usually have fights like that with {{p|Flareon}}?"''
: ''"Don't worry, Tina. Flareon's just going through a rebellious stage."''
: ''"Yeah. Y'see, I've traveled around a lot and caught tons of different Pokémon."''
: ''"Everyone's got their own personality, so I've seen it all!"''
: ''"I've butted heads with [[Ash's Charizard|my Pokémon]] every now and then...just like how you and Flareon are right now!"''
: ''"But I was determined to get along with them! So I did my best to tell my Pokémon how I felt!"''
: ''"Once I started doing that, we started to understand each other better, and now we get along just fine!"''
: ''"Even Pikachu and I had our differences when we first met. Isn't that right, buddy?"''
: ''"So don't worry! I'm sure the two of you will be fine!"''
: ''"'Cause Flareon's really important to you, right?"''
: ''"Let's go find Flareon! I'm sure he's feeling lonely without you by now!"''
: ''"Where did Flareon go?!"''
: ''"Oh, do you have an idea where Flareon went?"''
: ''"Tina..."''
: ''"And who are you?!"''
: ''"[[Team Break]]?"''
: ''"Hey, you! What do you mean when you said Tina will never get Flareon back?"''

*'''Use Thunderbolt!'''
: ''"Are you kidding me?!"''
: ''"No, this can't be true!"''
: ''"C'mon, <player>! Let's stop Flareon together!"''
: ''"Pikachu, I choose you!"''
: ''"Aw, man!"''
: ''"I can't just go all out against a friend's Pokémon!"''
: ''"Ugh!"''
: ''"<player>!"''
: ''"Tina! You can't give up!"''
: ''"Flareon's your friend, right?!"''
: ''"You've gotta tell him how you feel!"''
: ''"Cut it out!"''
: ''"Urgh..."''
: ''"You heard her. Right, Flareon?"''
: ''"You're Tina's partner. Nobody could replace you."''
: ''"And you hate being apart from her, too, right?"''
: ''"I'm not letting you get away with what you've done!"''
: ''"Pikachu! Use {{m|Thunderbolt}}!"''
: ''"Oh, you still wanna battle? We don't mind."''
: ''"I guess Flareon thought you were gonna get taken away from him, Tina."''
: ''"That's why losing to Pikachu made him so upset."''
: ''"You were just jealous, right?"''
: ''"See? I think he's feeling a little sorry about that."''
: ''"Hey. Do you wanna have another battle?"''
: ''"The best way to feel better when you're feeling down is to have a battle!"''
: ''"I wanna see your teamwork now that you're not fighting anymore!"''

;Special Event - Blazing Battle with Ash
*'''Sudden Announcement'''
: ''"That's Lear on the screen, right? I wonder what's up."''
: ''"Weren't YOU the leader of the team that won the first [[Pokémon Masters League|PML]] tournament?"''

*'''Lear's Goal?'''
: ''"Hey, I thought battles on Pasio were usually team battles!"''
: ''"If so, why is this tournament for Single Battles?"''
: ''"I guess Lear must've thought this through."''
: ''"Of course!"''
: ''"Let's show everyone on Pasio how we battle, Pikachu!"''
: ''"Also..."''
: ''"This is our chance to have a serious battle with <player> on a big stage!"''
: ''"We're gonna make it to the top and battle you, <player>!"''
: ''"Yeah! Let's see which of us gets to battle <player>!"''
: ''"So, who's my first opponent?"''
: ''"I'm Ash from Pallet Town! Let's have a good battle!"''

*'''A Heated First Battle!'''
: ''"{{AP|Sirfetch'd}}! I choose you!"''
: ''"That's a tough-looking {{p|Salamence}}..."''
: ''"Sirfetch'd, use {{m|Fury Cutter}}!"''
: ''"Dodge it with {{m|Detect}}!"''
: ''"It's not looking good against an opponent that's strong at battling in the air..."''
: ''"Sirfetch'd, return!"''
: ''"Let's go, {{AP|Dragonite}}!"''
: ''"Here we go!"''
: ''"Engulf it with {{m|Hurricane}}!"''
: ''"Now! Use {{m|Dragon Claw}}!"''
: ''"Dragonite!"''
: ''"You're good... Let's finish this at once, {{AP|Gengar}}!"''
: ''"Let's go big! [[Gigantamax]]!"''
: ''"All right!"''

*'''The Exciting Second Battle!'''
: ''"It won't be that easy! {{AP|Dracovish}}, use {{m|Water Gun}} to make an opening!"''
: ''"Right now! Use {{m|Ice Fang}}!"''
: ''"Hit them with another Water Gun, Dracovish!"''
: ''"We missed? It's fast..."''
: ''"OK, Dracovish. Rest up for now!"''
: ''"Let's go, Pikachu!"''
: ''"Pikachu! Get the first hit with {{m|Quick Attack}}!"''
: ''"Don't let it get away! Use {{m|Electroweb}}!"''
: ''"Keep it up with Thunderbolt!"''
: ''"How're you holding up, Pikachu?"''
: ''"Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!"''
: ''"What?"''
: ''"Pikachu!"''
: ''"You did great! We'll take care of the rest!"''
: ''"It's your turn, {{AP|Lucario}}!"''
: ''"Pikachu and Dracovish are at their limits, so we have to finish it here!"''
: ''"Let's show them our bond! Lucario, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]!"''
: ''"Give 'em a barrage of {{m|Aura Sphere}}!"''
: ''"Dive in with {{m|Bullet Punch}}!"''
: ''"Now! Use {{m|Reversal}}!"''
: ''"I made it here as promised, <player>!"''
: ''"Let's have a fun battle!"''

*'''The Final Showdown!'''
: ''"I'm counting on you as always, Dracovish!"''
: ''"I guess they saw I don't like long-distance attacks..."''
: ''"Dracovish, use Water Gun!"''
: ''"Use Water Gun again!"''
: ''"OK, now I'm ready!"''
: ''"Dragovish{{sic}}, use Ice Fang on the wet ground!"'' <!--yes, they really misspelled it in the event-->
: ''"Slide on the ground to get closer!"''
: ''"Use {{m|Fishious Rend}}!"''
: ''"Now, who's the next Pokémon?"''
:: '''Go! Solgaleo!''': ''"S-{{p|Solgaleo}}?"''
:: '''Go on, Solgaleo! I know you can do it!''': ''"That Pokémon is..."''
: ''"What an impressive showing from the PML champion team's leader! What a matchup for the finals!"''
: ''"Let's go, Dracovish! Slide across the ground and use Fishious Rend!"''
: ''"Dracovish!"''
: ''"What tremendous power... But we're not done yet!"''
: ''"I'm counting on you, Sirfetch'd!"''
: ''"Dodge with Detect and attack with Fury Cutter!"''
: ''"Hang in there, Sirfetch'd!"''
: ''"It should be feeling the damage from Dracovish's attacks!"''
: ''"You can do it! We're almost there!"''
: ''"Go!"''
: ''"You can finish this!"''
: ''"Pikachu! I choose you!"''
: ''"Use Quick Attack, then {{m|Iron Tail}}!"''
: ''"Use Thunderbolt!"''
: ''"I'm not done yet! Go for another Thunderbolt!"''
: ''"Our Thunderbolts are equally matched... Then how about this!"''
: ''"I'm gonna show you what I've learned on Pasio, <player>!"''
: ''"Let's go, Pikachu! Time for our sync move!"''
: ''"Heh, thanks, Lear!"''
: ''"Huh?"''
: ''"Of course... I haven't forgotten!"''
: ''"I'm gonna get battling as a team down pat and win the Masters Eight Tournament!"''
: ''"Let's go, Pikachu!"''

;Sync Pair Story - A Day with Ash
: ''"Now listen up, Pikachu."''
: ''"The strength of these "sync pairs" depends on the strength of the bond between the Trainer and their partner Pokémon!"''
: ''"So let's practice using moves together until we're more in sync than ever!"''
: ''"OK, ready? Let's hit that rock with a sync move!"''
: ''"Right, I just need to feel my heart sync with Pikachu's..."''
: ''"Let's do it, Pikachu!"''
* Off-screen
: ''"H-huh? That electrical charge looks bigger than—"''
: ''"W-waaah!"''
* On-screen
: ''"Owww..."''
:: '''Are you OK?!''': ''"Oh, you saw that, <player>? Don't worry! I'm fine!"''
:: ''"Pikachu's shocked me plenty of times before, so I'm used to it!"''
:: '''Wow, that was powerful!''': ''"Oh, didn't see you there, <player>! Yeah, Pikachu's electricity sure is impressive!"''
: ''"Looks like Pikachu and I may have overdone it a little."''
: ''"But that shock just now..."''
: ''"It reminded me of [[EP001|the day we set off from Pallet Town]]."''
:: '''Set off?''': ''"Yeah! Pikachu and I had just met. He was my very first partner..."''
:: '''Why?''': ''"Well, Pikachu was my very first partner..."''
: ''"At first, we didn't get along, and he kept shocking me all the time. It was a lot to deal with!"''
:: '''What an experience...''': ''"Heh heh... You could say that!"''
:: '''You didn't put him in a Poké Ball?''': ''"My Pikachu doesn't like [[Poké Ball]]s. I know—it's really unusual!"''
: ''"But I wanted to get along with Pikachu more than anything, so I decided I'd just meet him head on."''
: ''"While all that was going on, I got attacked by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}..."''
: ''"but Pikachu drove them all away with his electricity. He saved me!"''
: ''"That was the first time I felt like we actually understood each other's feelings and finally became friends."''
: ''"Since then, I've traveled around all sorts of different [[region]]s and made loads of [[Ash's friends|other friends]]..."''
: ''"And Pikachu's been with me through it all!"''
: ''"I'm confident that the bond between me and Pikachu is as strong as any sync pair's on Pasio!"''
: ''"So Pikachu and I are sure to keep getting stronger and stronger from here on out!"''
: ''"All right! That's got me all fired up! Come on, Pikachu! Let's get back to training!"''
: ''"Why don't you join us, <player>? I'm sure we'll have a gr—"''
: ''"Heh heh... Maybe we should eat first?"''
