Akala Passion (Japanese: アーカラ島の情熱 Akala Island Passion) was a Trainer Files event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Kiawe & Arcanine and Mallow & Shiinotic.

During this event, players could earn Event Vouchers Z 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 Kiawe & Arcanine or Mallow & Shiinotic to obtain +0.6× bonus vouchers; Lana & Araquanid to obtain +0.4× bonus vouchers; and any unlisted Alola sync pairs to obtain +0.2× bonus vouchers.

Plot

Kiawe, Lana, and Mallow are trying Cilan, Chili, and Cress's specialty tea. It's delicious, and the triplets attribute this to their teamwork with Grass, Fire, and Water. This gives Mallow the idea to try making a dish with Kiawe and Lana, since they're also specialists of those three types. She doesn't want to make the same Mallow Special that they use for the trials, though, so they'll have to come up with a new recipe. Cilan asks to try their dish when it's done.

After a while, the two trios meet back up to try the dish. However, Kiawe, Mallow, and Lana insist that even though it's finished, they can't eat it yet; they have to wait a little longer, with Kiawe's Arcanine keeping it warm while they wait. When night falls, the dish suddenly starts glowing, and Mallow explains that's due to the effect of her Shiinotic's spores. Cilan has heard that Shiinotic's spores glow in the dark to send its prey to sleep, and Cress worries it's not safe to eat. Mallow assures him it's fine, and the triplets try the dish. The taste is a bit peculiar, and it starts to make them sleepy, but suddenly it becomes unbearably spicy, so Lana's Araquanid cools them down. Mallow asks them what they thought of the dish, which has been dubbed the "Akala Trio Special", and they say that it was a unique dining experience that couldn't have been accomplished by anyone else.

Script

• Akala Island Combination

Name	Text
(Shopping district; Cilan, Cress, and Chili approach Lana, Kiawe, and Mallow)
Cilan	What do you think of our specialty tea?
Lana	It was very tasty!
Kiawe	Yeah, I could feel it flow through my body. On top of that, the temperature was just right.
Chili	I'm not surprised, considering I poured the hot water at the perfect temperature!
Cress	And I, Cress, prepared the purest water...
Cilan	And I chose the tea leaves—which are vital—with confidence. Our teamwork—using Grass, Fire, and Water—creates the best tea!
Mallow	Hmm...
Kiawe	What's wrong, Mallow? There's no way you didn't like the tea, right?
Mallow	The tea was really tasty. That's why... we should try it too! The three of us teaming up and cooking!
Lana	I see. We are Captains of Grass, Fire, and Water, just like them.
Kiawe	Wait. Have you forgotten, Mallow? We have our own teamwork too!
Mallow	Huh?
Kiawe	I bring the Thick Club and Rare Bone...
Lana	And I, Lana, bring the Fresh Water and Rocky Helmet as usual...
Kiawe	and you take the collected ingredients and smack 'em and crush 'em, grind 'em, and turn 'em into goo for—
Mallow	The Mallow Special is for the trials! I want to make something else!
Kiawe	I see... Then we'll have to come up with another recipe.
Cress	This sounds interesting.
Cilan	When your dish is done, please let us have a try.
Mallow	Of course! We'll make a dish just as good as your perfect tea!

• Friend Trio, Good Ingredients

Name	Text
(Shopping district at sunset)
	After a while...
Cilan	You three perfected your team-up cooking, right?
Chili	But why at this hour?
Cress	It seems the dish is already made, but can we not eat it yet?
Kiawe	Arcanine will make sure the dish doesn't get cold. Please wait.
(Transition to the shopping district at night; the dish starts sparkling)
Chili	Whoa!
Cilan	The dish is glowing!
Cress	This is beautiful... How did you do it?
Mallow	The secret is Shiinotic's spores!
Chili	Wh-whaaat?!
Cilan	I did hear that Shiinotic's spores glow in the dark. But they're meant to send its prey to sleep...
Cress	Is...is it safe for people to eat?
Mallow	Yep! Don't worry about that!
Lana	Please eat up!
Cilan	W-well then...
(The triplets try the dish)
Cress	Hmm...very peculiar, but...there's something about it...
Chili	Uh... I think I am starting to get a bit sleepy after all...
Cilan	!!!
Cress	It-it's spicy all of a sudden?!
Chili	S-SPICY!!!
Lana	Now, come over here.
(Lana's Araquanid cools down their mouths)
Cilan	Phew...
Mallow	So, what do you think of the "Akala Trio Special"? We arranged it so when you start feeling sleepy from the spores, the spice from the Tamato Berry wakes you up!
Cilan	It...it was quite a thrilling dining experience...
Cress	I don't think anyone can copy this unconventional idea.
Chili	I think that comes from the quality of the ingredients—and by that, I mean you three!
(Cilan, Cress, and Chili laugh, while Lana, Kiawe, and Mallow cheer)
