The Girl in Black and White (Japanese: 黒白の情熱ガール) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pair Hilda & Tepig.

First run

The event first ran from September 30 to October 17, 2019. The "Hilda Spotlight Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Hilda & Tepig for the duration of the event.

In this run, players could complete co-op battles to earn Vouchers E, which could be redeemed in the shop. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

Second run

The event reran from September 3 to 17, 2021 as a part of the Two-Year Anniversary Rerun Event. This run only contained the story areas and the battles between them; the "Unite with Hilda" battles, co-op battles, and exchange shop did not return.

Plot

At a sweets festival, the player, Hilda and Roxanne are in a queue for Casteliacones. Roxanne is eager to learn about Casteliacones and explains the importance of learning, such as knowing Pokémon battles. Hilda believes that actually tasting a Casteliacone would be the best way to learn than simply describing one.

At that moment, a Masked Woman cuts in front of them. Hilda, Roxanne and the player defeat the Masked Woman in battle, forcing her to line up from the back of the queue.

Roxanne acknowledges Hilda's power in battle but states that her style is a little reckless. Hilda rebuts saying that a Trainer needs to jump in to know what is going to work or not and that stopping and thinking might cost the Trainer a chance. Hilda believes that taking action is the most important, while Roxanne believes thorough planning is crucial.

A Pokémon Ranger who witnessed their previous battle then asks them for a battle. After defeating her, Roxanne realizes that despite having opposing battle styles they were still able to win.

Soon, there is an announcement that Casteliacones had been sold out and the team walk away disappointed.

They are next met by Thorton who has also been intrigued by their battle and would like to analyze their Pokémon. Roxanne points out that Thorton has bought four Casteliacones and Thorton agrees to give them the ice cream if they battle him.

After the defeat, Thorton finds out that his data analysis was insufficient to keep up with the movements and commands of the team. Hilda and Roxanne both realize that they are in sync as a team despite their differences in battle style.

Once they receive the Casteliacones, they find that they have now melted. Hilda and Roxanne plan to come again tomorrow to buy Casteliacones.
