The "Adaman Master Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Adaman & Leafeon from the beginning of the event to July 10, 2023, and the "Irida Master Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Irida & Glaceon from June 2, 2023 to July 10, 2023. A special splash screen featuring artwork of Adaman, Irida, Leafeon, and Glaceon appeared while starting up the game for the duration of these scouts.

During this event, players could earn Event Vouchers Q 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.

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.

In addition, players could earn a medal for completing all the story areas in the event.

Plot

Dawn comes to talk to Professor Bellis about a rift that recently appeared in the sky. Lucas, who was already talking to the professor, says that Dialga has been acting weird since the phenomenon was first reported. This reminds Dawn that she heard about some people in town making a fuss about Dialga and Palkia, so she and Lucas decide to go investigate.

In the town, two unidentified individuals are arguing in front of a crowd. One of them insists that they have come to future, so this is a trial from mighty Dialga; the other insists that they have come to a faraway country, so it is a trial from mighty Palkia. When Lucas and Dawn arrive, the people arguing notice them and run over to them. Believing the two are Rei and Akari, they express their relief at seeing familiar faces and wonder why they changed their clothes. When Dawn and Lucas still do not recognize them, they realize that Dawn and Lucas are not Rei and Akari, so they introduce themselves as Irida and Adaman from Hisui. Lucas recognizes the name from books in the Canalave Library and Professor Rowan's research materials, so he realizes that these two have come from ancient Sinnoh. When he shares this realization with them, Adaman smugly says that he was right about them being in the future and that it is a trial from Dialga. Dawn and Lucas ask him what he means by that, and Adaman explains that the Diamond Clan worships Dialga, controller of time. Irida chimes in that the Pearl Clan worships Palkia, controller of space. Lucas asks if they met up with Dialga before coming here, but they admit that they cannot remember. Adaman and Irida then muse that they never thought they would be the ones traveling to an unknown world in a distant time, and they explain how that happened to people back in Hisui. Adaman realizes that they came here the same way, through a rift, and Lucas and Dawn realize that it is the same rift that Professor Bellis had mentioned.

Lucas, Dawn, Adaman, and Irida head to the forest to investigate the rift. Professor Bellis shows up, and after catching her up, she informs them that strange phenomena have been occuring across Pasio that cause lots of wild Pokémon to appear. Adaman and Irida realize that they are space-time distortions, and they explain what space-time distortions are. Professor Bellis says that the distortions on Pasio are not showing signs of dissipating, which Adaman says is dangerous. Lucas and Dawn do not see why it would be dangerous, so Adaman and Irida explain why Pokémon were feared back in Hisui. Professor Bellis then gets a phone call informing her that someone was attacked by wild Pokémon in a distortion, making the whole group realize the gravity of the situation. Adaman and Irida recall that Dialga and Palkia were a major cause of the rift in Hisui, so Irida hypothesizes that the disturbances on Pasio are connected to the two Legendary Pokémon. Lucas says that they can get Dialga to help them; he sends out his Dialga, shocking Adaman and Irida. Irida then asks if they can ask Palkia for help, too. Lucas and Dawn are reluctant to, but eventually realize it is worth a try, so they decide to go find Cyrus of Team Galactic.

As the group approaches Team Galactic's hideout, Adaman and Irida are confident that the group will help them, assuming they are the Galaxy Team. When a pair of Team Galactic grunts appear, Adaman and Irida are shocked by their bizarre outfits. Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter then appear, and Dawn and Lucas explain why they have come. The Team Galactic commanders agree to let the group talk to Cyrus, since they have been inconvenienced by the space-time distortions, too. Upon arriving in Cyrus's room, he immediately says that he will not help them, confusing Adaman and Irida. When Cyrus says Team Galactic's goal is to create a perfect world, they finally realize that Team Galactic is different than the Galaxy Team. Lucas's Dialga suddenly lets itself out of its Poké Ball, and Dialga and Palkia begin talking to Adaman and Irida telepathically. Dialga and Palkia say that they have to work together using the power of time and space to stop the space-time distortion from spreading. Cyrus comments that this coincides with some of Team Galactic's research, and he finally agrees to assist them in order to support his hypothesis about why the distortions are happening.

They split up into two groups: Cyrus, Dawn, Irida, and the Team Galactic commanders are on one side of the distortion, where Palkia is applying force to it; and Lucas and Adaman are on the opposite side of the distortion, where Dialga is applying force to it. However, their efforts do not seem to be working. Suddenly, they realize the distortion has stopped growing and is showing signs of dissipating. Irida gives Palkia all the credit, but Cyrus realizes that there was a third power that helped them stop the distortion. In the ruins with Giratina, Barry celebrates their success, while Cynthia says that she has lots of questions for Adaman and Irida. The distortion finally dissipates completely, and Lucas thanks Dialga for its help. Adaman notes that people and Pokémon have once again joined together and saved the world. Later, Professor Bellis informs everyone that the rift is still open and space-time distortions are still forming, but they are not as dangerous as the previous one. Adaman and Irida promise to help if anything bad happens again, which surprises Lucas and Dawn, who thought they wanted to get back home as soon as possible. Adaman and Irida do not know how, so they have decided to stay on Pasio to take care of other people and Pokémon from Hisui that come to the island. They have even put Leafeon and Glaceon in Poké Balls so they can form sync pairs and show other Hisuians how people and Pokémon can live together in harmony. With their decision made, Adaman declares that they can all help each other out from now on.

• People and Pokémon

Trivia

• This story event was the first to feature characters from Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
• Adaman and Irida mention or allude to several other characters from Hisui in this event:
  • They mistake Lucas for Rei.
  • They mistake Dawn for Akari.
  • They mention that they know people in Hisui who have traveled to an unknown land in a distant time, referring to Rei and Ingo.
  • They mistake Saturn for Coin.
  • They mistake Mars for Arezu.
  • Cyrus reminds them of Cyllene.
• The plot point where Adaman and Irida mistake Team Galactic for the Galaxy Team makes more sense in the original Japanese, where both groups are called (ギンガ団 Ginga-dan).
