A Pure and Touching Heart (Japanese: 心をひきつける純真 Purity that Attracts the Heart) was a Neo Champions event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pair Nate (Champion) & Haxorus.

The "Nate Master Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Nate (Champion) & Haxorus from the beginning of the event to January 11, 2024.

During this event, players could earn Event Vouchers X from battles that could be redeemed in the shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The player could battle using Nate (Champion) & Haxorus to obtain +0.6× bonus vouchers; Lear & Hoopa, Iris & Hydreigon, Colress & Klinklang, Hilbert & Oshawott/Dewott/Samurott, Hilda & Tepig/Pignite/Emboar, or N & Zekrom to obtain +0.4× bonus vouchers; and any unlisted Unova sync pairs to obtain +0.2× bonus vouchers.

This event featured the Battle Challenge, where players were challenged to defeat a team of strong opponents. Players could complete event missions by clearing these areas with teams using various theme skills, earning medals and other rewards.

Additionally, the music and artwork on the title screen were different than usual. The title screen artwork depicted Nate (Champion) & Haxorus, and the background music was Battle! (Unova Neo Champion) (Pokémon Masters EX Version). In addition, a special voice-over line of Nate saying "Pokémon Masters EX" would play as soon as the game's logo appeared on the title screen. On December 25, 2023, Rosa (Champion) & Meloetta were added to this title screen artwork, and a special voice-over line of Rosa saying "Pokémon Masters EX" was added to the pool of lines randomly chosen each time the title screen was loaded. However, when players updated to version 2.40.0 (released on December 26, 2023), the music and artwork returned to normal, though Nate or Rosa's special voice-over line still played until January 12, 2024.

Plot

Lear announces to everyone that he, Colress, and Iris are holding a new Neo Champion in Pasio, with Iris and Colress being the judges. Colress uses the Colress Machine to examine the performance of the Neo Champion trainers. Nate and Haxorus are nominated by N, Hilbert, and Hilda. Meanwhile, the three tell Nate that he is nominated for the Neo Champion. While Rosa and Hugh are busy together, N tells Nate that Nate’s emotions touched his heart when he battled with Ghetsis. Nate summons Haxorus to get some training, but Ingo and Emmet arrive to help repair the train tracks, courtesy of Haxorus and Excadrill. Clay arrives in the caverns to tell the three about restoring the cave, but he tells Nate that he is supposed to prepare for the Neo Champion. However, Nate tells him that he needs to support for people who forget and enters the snowy mountains. Ingo and Emmet complement Clay about how clean the cave is and the latter tells them about Nate's talent. In the snowy mountains, Marlon arrives and tells Nate that he is swimming with Carracosta. Nate tells him that he is preparing for the Neo Champion, but Marlon remembers the time Nate fought Team Plasma and the latter remembers he hates Ghetsis during his encounter in Unova, despite being N's father. N tells Nate that he has a kind heart who resonates with others, gets mad when he yells at Ghetsis, and cries for him. Marlon tells Nate that he is strong as a gnarly wave when he talks about how he treats others with respect. When Nate arrives at the Pokémon Masters League Tournament, he faces Rose with Copperajah and Emma with Crobat for the Neo Champion event based on their power to touch their hearts. Nate challenges Rei and Hisuian Decidueye in a fierce competition. Hisuian Decidueye starts attacking Haxorus but Nate tells the latter to trust him and follow his lead. N, Hilbert, and Hilda watch Nate and Rei's Pokémon fighting to see who is the greatest. Haxorus dodges Hisuian Decidueye's attack and engage its sync move, Resonating Will Dragon Claw, thus defeating it for good. Iris and Colress arrive in the podium to announce Nate as the winner of the Neo Champion. Colress analyzes Haxorus' skills and tactics by having a significant jump in its power, despite it only defending. He tells the audience that it was magnificent after stating that Haxorus trusted Nate with their ability to resonate their feelings was explosive. Nate says his speech to everyone while watching the sky about his motivation as a Neo Champion, with Hilbert, Hilda, and N cheering for him and Haxorus.
