Good Ol' Rika Here (Japanese: まいど！チリちゃんやで Hey There! It's Chili Here) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pair Rika & Clodsire.
First run
The event first ran from April 26 to May 13, 2024. The "Rika Poké Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Rika & Clodsire from the beginning of the event to May 16, 2024.
In this run, players could earn Event Vouchers C 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 Rika & Clodsire to obtain +0.6× bonus vouchers; Geeta & Glimmora, Lear & Hoopa, or Whitney & Miltank to obtain +0.4× bonus vouchers; and any unlisted sync pairs with the Ground or Paldea theme skills 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. Event mission rewards included Gems, Battle Points, medals, and a Field Move Candy Coin, and an additional 200 Gems were available after completing 10 of these missions.
Players could also earn a medal for completing all the story areas in the event.
Additionally, the music and artwork on the title screen were different than usual. The title screen artwork depicted Rika & Clodsire, and the background music was 
Battle! (Paldea Elite Four: Rika) (Pokémon Masters EX Version). In addition, a special voice-over line of Rika saying "Pokémon Masters EX" would play as soon as the game's logo appeared on the title screen.
Second run
The event reran from February 10 to 28, 2026. In this run, the type of voucher that players could earn was Event Voucher P. Event missions were changed to reward only medals and Gems, and all of the missions needed to be completed to earn the additional 200 Gems. Everything else was the same as the previous run.
Third run
The event reran again from May 3 to 11, 2026 as part of the Paldea Fest Rally Story Replay. This run only contained the story areas; the battles, vouchers, and shop did not return. In addition, no missions were available, and no medals could be earned.
Plot
Lear is planning on unveiling a new sweet to act as Pasio's local specialty, but still lacks a Pokémon whose image to put on the packaging, and asks Geeta for advice. In the middle of their discussion, Rika comes in and suggests that her partner, Clodsire, could be the Pokémon for the job, given its cuteness and chocolate-like coloration. Whitney butts in as well and insists her Miltank would be the perfect mascot for the milk chocolate sweet. While Rika and Whitney befriend each other surprisingly fast, Geeta suggests holding a competition where any willing Trainer can submit videos and photos of their partner, with the final decision being made based on them. Lear agrees to this and publicly announces the contest to decide the mascot for Pasio's signature sweet.
Whitney starts taking photos of Miltank to send to the contest when Rika shows up, complaining that she can't find a fitting photo spot for her Clodsire. Since Clodsire is closely related to Quagsire, Whitney leads her to a stream in a forest, only to find Misty there as well, planning on entering the contest with her Quagsire. Rika is prepared to leave and find another spot, but Misty insists they decide things with a battle. Rika agrees and easily defeats Misty using Clodsire's toughness to endure Quagsire's attacks, though she admits to herself that Misty could actually be stronger than Kofu.
After getting some good photos and videos of their Pokémon, Rika and Whitney are challenged to a battle by two Poké Kids. The children win, and an impressed Rika mentions how a friend of hers is of their age and also a member of the Paldea Elite Four. Rika and Whitney are then approached by Rose, who invites Rika to join Macro Cosmos, having heard of her dedication to her work in the Paldea League. While tempted by the offer, Rika politely turns it down, feeling she's still more needed in her current work. Rose is disappointed to hear the answer, but wishes Rika good luck on her current work regardless.
Rika and Whitney eventually finish taking all the photos and videos they need and submit them, promising to have no hard feelings on each other regardless of who wins. A few days later, Lear announces the winning Pokémon, which, to the surprise of both Rika and Whitney, turns out to be Geeta's Glimmora, which Geeta had entered in the contest without the two's knowledge and was chosen based on the themes of affluence and maturity.

- Making Pasio's Signature Sweet
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| (Lear's villa; Lear is talking to Sawyer and Rachel, and Geeta approaches them) | |
| Lear | Sorry for calling you here like this. I'm sure you were busy. |
| Geeta | No, no. I should apologize for my tardiness. I had a lot of things to do. |
| Lear | Let's get right down to it, then. Rachel, go get what we were discussing and bring it here. |
| Rachel | Yessir! |
| (Rachel leaves; fade to black; Rachel returns) | |
| Rachel | Here ya go. Eat up! |
| Geeta | Very well... |
| (Geeta eats the food Rachel offered) | |
| Geeta | My, what an elegant-tasting sweet! It has a pleasant mouthfeel, and even as its sweetness and aroma spread gently through my mouth, it's still refreshing. |
| Lear | Heh. Right? I'm actually planning a mass marketing campaign to promote it as Pasio's signature sweet. |
| Geeta | A sweet of such high quality certainly has the potential to become a famous local specialty. |
| Lear | However...there's one thing we're still working on. I haven't decided on a mascot Pokémon to put on the packaging. I'd like to consider Pokémon found in Paldea as candidates as well... Any suggestions? |
| Geeta | Hmm... I understand the situation now. As for the Pokémon most suitable to adorn the packaging... |
| ??? | Boss! |
| (Geeta turns to look as Rika approaches the group) | |
| ??? | If that's what you're looking for, I've gotcha covered! |
| Sawyer | Who are— |
| Rika | Hey hey! Rika here, at your service! |
- Rika and Whitney
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| (Rika approaches Geeta, Rachel, Sawyer, and Lear) | |
| Geeta | This is Rika. She's a member of the Elite Four in the Paldea Pokémon League. She always supports us, both with her strength and her personality. |
| Rika | Short, sweet, to the point. Nice to meet you three! You can call me Rika. No need for fancy titles or whatnot. |
| Rachel | Niiice. It's, like, so nice to meetcha, Rika! |
| Lear | Well? How exactly do you have us covered? |
| Rika | Glad you asked. With...this! |
| (Rika sends out her Clodsire) | |
| Rika | It's my lovable partner, Clodsire! |
| (Clodsire cries out) | |
| Rika | Cute, huh? Don't you just wanna gobble him up? |
| (Lear is silent for a few moments, staring into Clodsire's eyes) | |
| Lear | ...Hm. Not bad. These sweets are made with milk chocolate, after all. |
| Sawyer | And Clodsire certainly looks a bit like a loaf of chocolate bread. |
| Rachel | I think he could work if we're goin' for, like, a gentle, comforting angle. |
| Rika | Exactly! We're all on the same page here! Sounds like it's settled, then! |
| ??? | Hey, waaait! |
| Lear | Who is it now?! |
| (Whitney approaches the group and sends out her Miltank) | |
| Whitney | If you need a Pokémon for your packaging, look no further than Miltank! |
| (Miltank cries out) | |
| Whitney | 'Cause I heard you make that sweet with lots 'n' lots of Moomoo Milk! Heh heh! You know your girl Whitney's always got the latest info. No gossip gets by me! |
| Rika | Say...you wouldn't happen to be from Johto, would you? |
| Whitney | I sure am! I'm the Gym Leader of Goldenrod City! You're lookin' at Whitney, the incredibly pretty girl! But you can just call me Whitney! |
| Rika | Nahahaha! I thought I sensed a Johto vibe coming from you! I'm Rika, one of the Elite Four of Paldea. Let's you and me be friends, Whitney! |
| Whitney | OK! Sounds good to me, Rika! |
| Rachel | Wow. It took, like, no time at all for those two to hit it off. |
| Geeta | Hmm... Both Clodsire and Miltank appear to be the perfect Pokémon for the packaging of your signature sweet... But I'm sure there must be many other prospects here on Pasio. What do you all think? Wouldn't it be worth holding a competition among several candidates—not just the two here—and decide based on the winner? |
| Rika | (*sigh* Up to your old habits again, eh, Boss?) |
| Whitney | Well! When you put it like THAT... |
| Lear | Hmm. Good point. Sure, why not? I'll hold off on making a decision for now. We'll launch a Pasio-wide public campaign to find Pokémon to adorn the packaging... and decide from among those that come forward! |
- A Picturesque Spot
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| (Lear's villa; Lear, Rachel, and Sawyer are facing a camera) | |
| Lear | ...So, that's the deal! Applicants should submit any photos and videos that highlight the natural charms of their Pokémon! We three will personally review them to determine which Pokémon will appear on the packaging! This is a chance for your partner Pokémon to become THE face of Pasio's local specialty! If you think yours has what it takes... then hurry up and apply! Hahahahaha! |
| (Transition to Whitney and Miltank in a field; Whitney's Poryphone is hovering in front of her) | |
| Whitney | Ready for your close-up, Miltank?! |
| (Miltank cries out and jumps, and Whitney starts snapping photos) | |
| Whitney | Cu-cu-cu—! CUUUUTE! You're so cute I can hardly stand it! |
| ??? | Well, isn't this a picture-perfect setting. |
| (Rika and Clodsire approach) | |
| Rika | Miltank in a grassy meadow... That's a fitting image to adorn those sweets. |
| Whitney | Rika? Compliments'll get you nowhere, y'know! |
| Rika | Nahahaha! I'm just scoping out the competition, is all! |
| Whitney | ...Is that right? You're stumped, aren'tcha? Can't find a good place to take your photos and videos, huh? |
| Rika | Oof! You saw right through me! Got it in one. I can't figure out where to take my photos and videos of Clodsire... At this rate, I'm just gonna be milling about Pasio right up to the deadline! |
| Whitney | Twist my arm, why don'tcha... You better thank me for this, y'hear? |
| Rika | Oh? |
| Whitney | I'll show you a great spot! |
| Rika | Really?! Even though we're rivals? |
| Whitney | I wanna meetcha on equal ground, Rika! It'll be much more satisfying to prove who's got the cutest partner by facing off fair and square! |
| Rika | Whitney... Thanks so much! |
| (Transition to Whitney and Rika walking beside a river in the forest) | |
| Whitney | Clodsire's kinda like a relative of Quagsire, right? |
| Rika | Sure. That's the public perception, I guess. |
| Whitney | Well, that's why I figured a crystal-clear stream in a forest would make the perfect background! And here we are! This is—wait, what? |
| Rika | Looks like somebody's already here. |
| (Rika and Whitney turn to see Misty standing in the clearing with a Quagsire) | |
- I'm Not Losing to a Kanto Girl!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| (Whitney and Rika approach Misty) | |
| Whitney | Aww! You beat us here? |
| Rika | Huh. Well, wouldn't you know it... We were just talking about that Pokémon! I do see the resemblance to Clodsire—especially in the cuteness department. |
| (Quagsire cries happily) | |
| Misty | Wow! You won over my Quagsire instantly! |
| Rika | I'm Rika! Nice to meet you! |
| Misty | It's a pleasure, Rika! I'm Misty, a Gym Leader from Kanto! |
| Whitney | Hey, Misty! Are you and Quagsire also applying for the mascot Pokémon competition? |
| Misty | Yeah! I think Quagsire would be perfect for it! She's got a comforting presence, but she's also kinda elegant, don't you think? |
| (Quagsire cries out) | |
| Misty | Are you two also applying? |
| Rika | Yeah, we are. We've been looking for a good spot to get some promo shots of Clodsire. We figured here'd work nicely, but since you got here first, we'll go look somewhere else. |
| Misty | Wait a second! Let's decide this like proper Pokémon Trainers—with a battle! Whoever loses, leaves! |
| Rika | Heh... Sounds fun. OK then! I'll take you up on that challenge! |
| Misty | That's the spirit! I'll show you what the Tomboyish Mermaid can do! |
| (Misty and Rika prepare to battle) | |
| Misty | My policy for battle is...an all-out offensive with Water-type Pokémon! |
| Rika | That so? Go on, then—gimme all you got! I'd say I'll go easy on you, but...I'd be lying! Think fast! |
| Misty | C'mon, Quagsire! Let's finish this in one go! |
| Rika | Brace yourself, Clodsire! |
| (Quagsire and Clodsire exchange blows) | |
| Rika | Use that trademark toughness of yours to shrug off their attacks! |
| Misty | I can't believe you're still standing after all that! |
| Rika | Now! Time to strike back, Clodsire! Show that Kanto girl who's boss! |
| (Clodsire knocks out Quagsire) | |
| Whitney | Wow! I see why the Paldea League made you one of their Elite Four! |
| Misty | Elite Four?! No wonder you're so strong... |
| Rika | Hey now, you weren't half bad yourself, Misty! |
| Misty | You think so? That makes me a little happy—even though I still lost! |
| Rika | (I'd say she's about on par with Kofu... No, maybe even stronger.) |
| Misty | Please, Rika, go right ahead and get the best possible photos and footage of Clodsire! Showcase all his best qualities! |
| Rika | You got it! I'll get the perfect shot to slap on that packaging! |
| Whitney | Not so fast, Rika! Don't forget about Miltank—your biggest rival! |
| Rika | Oh, I haven't forgotten about her—or the rest of the competition, either! I'll take you all on! |
| (Transition to Whitney and Rika in the city) | |
| Rika | All right! Pretty pleased with all the photos and footage we ended up takin'. Thanks, Whitney—not just for finding that spot, but for helpin' out with the shoot, too! |
| Whitney | Aw, don't even sweat it! |
| ??? | Hey, laaadies! |
| (Rika and Whitney turn to see a pair of Poké Kids with an Eevee and a Pikachu) | |
| Poké Kid (1) | Please battle us! |
| Rika | Hm? |
| Poké Kid (1) | Um, 'cause, you see, we want our Pikachu and Eevee to get picked to be the sweets mascots! |
| Poké Kid (2) | Yeah! And we wanna get a cool video of 'em winning a battle! |
| (Rika and Whitney exchange glances) | |
| Rika | No prob! We'd be happy to battle you! |
| Poké Kid (1) | Yaaay! |
| (Rika and Whitney prepare to battle the Poké Kids; each side has a Poryphone filming the battle) | |
| Poké Kid (2) | Go, Pikachu! |
| Poké Kid (1) | You can do it, Eevee! |
| (Pikachu and Eevee defeat Miltank and Clodsire) | |
| Whitney | Gwaaahhh! |
| Rika | You got me! |
| Poké Kid (1) | Yay, we won! |
| (The first Poké Kid checks her Poryphone) | |
| Poké Kid (2) | Did you get that on video? |
| Poké Kid (1) | Yup! Got the whole thing! |
| Whitney | You li'l squirts are pretty strong! |
| Rika | Yeah! Keep it up, and you could even end up in the Elite Four someday! |
| Poké Kid (1) | Huh? The-leet...four? |
| Poké Kid (2) | Nuh-uh! No way! |
| Rika | Yes way! You could totally do it! Friend of mine's a kid about your age—and she's in the Elite Four right now! |
| Poké Kid (2) | For real? |
| Rika | Yeah, kiddo! For real! Don't say anything's impossible—just go for it! You both got a lot of potential, so don't let it go to waste! |
| Poké Kid (2) | OK! |
| Poké Kid (1) | Thank you for battling us! |
| Poké Kid (2) | Bye bye! |
| (The Poké Kids leave with their Pokémon) | |
| Rika | Bye! Get home safe, now! |
| (Rika checks her Poryphone) | |
| Rika | Gotta say... Clodsire and Miltank were pretty darn cute, even when they lost! |
| Whitney | You got that right! |
| ??? | Pardon me. |
| (Rose and Oleana approach Rika and Whitney) | |
| Rose | You're Rika of the Paldea League's Elite Four, are you not? |
| (Rika looks at them pensively) | |
- The Punchline
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Rose | You're Rika of the Paldea League's Elite Four, are you not? |
| Rika | Yeah... How can I help you? |
| Rose | My apologies. I seem to have gotten ahead of myself. I am Rose, president of the Macro Cosmos conglomerate. I'll get right to the point. Rika, would you do me the honor of joining Macro Cosmos? |
| Whitney | Wh-whoa! Didja hear that, Rika?! Macro Cosmos is a huge deal in Galar! And gettin' scouted by a company like that...that's a huge deal, too! |
| Rose | I'm very impressed by your activity with the Paldea League. Specifically, the way you dedicate yourself to work without personal matters getting in the way... That's exactly what my company needs! I'm certain we can satisfy any requests you may have regarding your compensation and benefits... So, what do you say? |
| Whitney | Rika! This is the career opportunity of a lifetime! |
| Rika | ... ... ... Sorry, Mr. Rose. That's a very generous offer, but... |
| Whitney | Whaddya mean "but"?! |
| Rika | Tempting as your offer is, I'd like to stay in my current position for a little while longer. 'Cause I work with some folks who'd be utterly lost if I weren't around, lemme tell ya! |
| (Rose is silent for a moment) | |
| Rose | Hmm... I see you won't be so easily lured away from your current employer. That's terribly disappointing news for our company, but I wish you the best in your current endeavors! |
| (Rose and Oleana leave) | |
| Rika | Right back atcha, man. |
| Whitney | Rika, are you really sure that's what you want? |
| Rika | Yeah, I'm fine! Working for the boss with my motley crew of quirky coworkers makes every day a hoot! I'll never get sick of it! |
| (Transition to Whitney and Rika in a field with their partners) | |
| Whitney | All right... Got it! Thank youuu, Rika! I couldn't have finished this photo shoot without your help! |
| Rika | No problem. You did the same for me, after all. Well...I'd say we've both got some pretty good photos and videos now. |
| Whitney | All that's left to do is to submit 'em and wait for the judges' decision. ...Rika. Just so ya know, I still think Miltank is the cutest. |
| Rika | Yeah, well, I still think Clodsire is the ultimate in cuteness. |
| Whitney | Let's have us a fair, honest competition! |
| Rika | Deal! And no hard feelings either way, no matter who wins! |
| Whitney | Of course! And if I lose, I promise I won't cry for once! |
| (Transition to Lear's villa) | |
| A few days later... | |
| Lear | Your partner Pokémon were all so thoroughly charming that it took quite some time to judge them...but we've finally made our decision! The winning Pokémon and packaging mascot is... |
| Rika | ... ... ... |
| Whitney | ... ... ... |
| (Lear pauses for a moment and looks at the Pokémon beside him, Glimmora) | |
| Lear | Geeta's partner, Glimmora! |
| Whitney | Huh?! |
| Rika | What?! B-Boss! You entered the contest too?! |
| Geeta | My apologies, Rika. I was so moved by your inspiring rivalry that I simply could not help myself. |
| Rika | But when did you... |
| Lear | We decided our marketing campaign should evoke an image of affluence and maturity. For that reason, we chose Glimmora. Geeta, do you mind coming here and saying a few words? |
| (Geeta walks to stand between Lear and Glimmora) | |
| Geeta | I am honored that my partner Glimmora was chosen to be the mascot Pokémon for this product. I know Glimmora will shine brightly as the face of Pasio's local specialty. |
| (Glimmora cries out) | |
| Rika | ... ... ... |
| Lear | The sweets featuring Glimmora will be available for sale soon on Pasio! Grab yours before they sell out! Hahahahaha! This will be a huge success—no doubt about it! |
| Whitney | Seriously?! |
| Rika | Yeeesh... |
