Twin Stars Far Apart (Japanese: 離れ離れの双子星 Twin Stars Far Apart) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Tate (Summer 2023) & Jirachi and Liza (Summer 2023) & Celesteela.

First run

The event first ran from June 30 to July 17, 2023. The "Tate Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Tate (Summer 2023) & Jirachi for the duration of the event, and the "Liza Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Liza (Summer 2023) & Celesteela starting on July 2, 2023, and lasting until the end of the event.

In this run, players could earn Summer Tickets A and Summer Tickets A+ 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 tickets were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The player could battle using Tate (Summer 2023) & Jirachi or Liza (Summer 2023) & Celesteela to obtain +0.6× bonus tickets; N (Summer 2022) & Zoroark, Hilda (Summer 2022) & Grapploct, Gloria (Summer 2021) & Inteleon, Marnie (Summer 2021) & Grimmsnarl, Steven (Summer 2020) & Sandslash, or Lyra (Summer 2020) & Jigglypuff to obtain +0.4× bonus tickets; and any unlisted Steel- or Flying-type sync pairs to obtain +0.2× bonus tickets.

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, a Strike Move Candy Coin, and a Tech Move Candy Coin.

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

Second run

The event reran from July 3 to 20, 2024. The "Super Spotlight Seasonal Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Tate (Summer 2023) & Jirachi, Liza (Summer 2023) & Celesteela, N (Summer 2022) & Zoroark, Hilda (Summer 2022) & Grapploct, Gloria (Summer 2021) & Inteleon, Marnie (Summer 2021) & Grimmsnarl, Steven (Summer 2020) & Sandslash, and Lyra (Summer 2020) & Jigglypuff for the duration of the event.

In this run, the two types of tickets that players could earn were changed to Summer Tickets B and Summer Tickets B+. The player could battle using Tate (Summer 2023) & Jirachi or Liza (Summer 2023) & Celesteela to obtain +0.6× bonus tickets; Gardenia (Summer 2024) & Dhelmise, Acerola (Summer 2024) & Jellicent, N (Summer 2022) & Zoroark, Hilda (Summer 2022) & Grapploct, Gloria (Summer 2021) & Inteleon, Marnie (Summer 2021) & Grimmsnarl, Steven (Summer 2020) & Sandslash, or Lyra (Summer 2020) & Jigglypuff to obtain +0.4× bonus tickets; and any unlisted Steel- or Flying-type sync pairs to obtain +0.2× bonus tickets. Also, event missions were changed to reward only medals and Gems. Everything else was the same as the previous run.

Third run

The event reran again from August 30 to September 19, 2025 as 10th place in the Trainer Tales Championship. This run only contained the story areas; the battles, tickets, and shop did not return. In addition, no missions were available, and no medals could be earned.

Plot

Tate and Liza are watching the stars with Molayne while wearing their special outfits for the star festival. While they watch, they practice the song they are going to sing for the festival. Since Molayne is teaching them about the stars, they agree to teach him the song.

While preparing for their dance practice in the forest, Tate and Liza notice something shining in the distance. They go to investigate and find a Jirachi sleeping near a lake. Archie appears and tells them about Jirachi's ability to grant wishes, and he asks them to keep it a secret so people do not get greedy for Jirachi's power. They agree without hesitation. Then, they leave the forest. In the park, they run into Anabel and Nanu, who have been assigned to protect Tate and Liza so that nothing happens to them before the star festival. Anabel explains that Ultra Wormholes have been opening more frequently, and it's better to be safe than sorry. Days later, Liza is practicing her dance by herself, with Anabel watching. Anabel commends her for improving, but just as they are about to go meet up with Tate and Nanu, an Ultra Wormhole opens up and pulls Liza in. Anabel dives in after her, and the wormhole closes before their Pokémon can follow.

Tate and Nanu arrive at the meeting point and find Liza's Lunatone and Anabel's Snorlax, but they cannot find Liza or Anabel anywhere. Archie appears, and they fill him in on the situation. Archie says he will help them search, noting that it is strange for the Trainer to be missing and not their Pokémon. Nanu speculates that they have been sent to the other side of an Ultra Wormhole, so they call Lusamine and the Aether Foundation to investigate. Lusamine confirms that there is evidence of an Ultra Wormhole having appeared in the area, but she does not know where it could have sent them. It is too dangerous to just open up Ultra Wormholes randomly and hope to find them, and Tate despairs that he will never see his sister again. Archie tells Tate not to despair and heads off with him to find Jirachi.

Meanwhile, Liza and Anabel find themselves in a place similar to Pasio, but there are no signs of people anywhere. Liza is scared, but Anabel promises to protect her. Suddenly, a Celesteela appears. Fortunately, it does not seem hostile, though Anabel does not know why it would be in a place like this. A hostile Nihilego appears, but the Celesteela fights it off. Liza thanks it for the help, but it does not react. Anabel suspects that all the Ultra Beasts here have been pulled here from their own worlds, so there might be an Ultra Wormhole here that leads to somewhere else.

Back on Pasio, Tate and Archie arrive at the lake where Jirachi is sleeping. Archie tells Tate that there is a legend that says Jirachi will awaken from its sleep if you sing to it with a pure voice, and it will grant your wish. He thinks that if Tate sincerely wants to find his sister, Jirachi will respond and grant his wish. Tate thanks Archie for this chance, and he sings the song that he was practicing with Liza. Jirachi wakes up, and Tate wishes for Liza and Anabel to come back to Pasio.

In the strange world, Anabel and Celesteela follow Liza, who can hear Tate singing and is running towards the source. They find an Ultra Wormhole in the middle of a forest, which Liza says she can hear Tate singing through. However, the wormhole is high above the ground, higher than they can reach. So, Anabel asks Celesteela to fly them up to the Ultra Wormhole. With a little help from Liza, Celesteela understands the message, and Liza and Anabel grab on to Celesteela and fly through the wormhole.

Tate, Archie, and Jirachi are in the forest on Pasio, where an Ultra Wormhole has opened up. As Tate begs for his sister to come back, Liza, Anabel, and Celesteela suddenly arrive through the wormhole. Tate greets them joyfully, and Liza greets him with equal enthusiasm. Tate asks if she is OK, and she says she's fine because Anabel and Celesteela protected her. Tate thanks Jirachi for its help, and he explains to Liza and Anabel what happened. Archie is happy that Tate and Liza have been reunited, so he leaves the rest to Anabel.

Days later, at the star festival, Molayne meets up with Tate and Liza and apologizes for not being able to help them. They tell him not to worry, and introduce him to their new friends Jirachi and Celesteela. Tate and Liza perform their song and dance for everyone, alongside Molayne and their new partners. Archie and Shelly observe that Jirachi has met a nice Trainer, and Archie asks her what she is wishing for. Shelly says it's probably the same as him. Archie laughs, and thinks to himself that his wish is for people and Pokémon to keep laughing together like this when Tate and Liza are all grown up, and even long after that.

Tate I hope everyone's wishes come true!
Tate Have you decided what you're wishing for at the star festival, Liza?
Liza Yup! I won't tell you, though! Have you decided, Tate?
Tate I don't need to make a wish—mine's already come true!


  • A Song for the Stars
Name Text
(Mountain; Tate and Liza pose in their summer outfits)
Molayne Are those the costumes for the star festival? They suit both of you.
Liza Hehe, thanks Molayne!
Tate We have to make the star festival a success for all the people looking forward to it.
Molayne Haha, that's promising to hear!
But if so, are you sure you should be leisurely watching the stars with me? Are you not busy?
Tate Not at all! This is very important, too!
Liza We used to help out at the Mossdeep Space Center in Hoenn.
Tate We were already curious about space and stars from before, but...
Liza We just thought we should study more for the star festival!
Molayne OK! If that's the case, let's get the lesson started!
(Molayne, Tate, and Liza look up at the stars)
Tate When you look up at the sky and wish, the stars will quietly shine. ♪
Liza If you wish upon the stars, tomorrow shines bright. ♪
Molayne Oh, what's that song?
Liza It's the song we're gonna sing at the star festival!
Tate We're practicing it every day so we can sing it while dancing!
Molayne I see...it's very nice! Can I hear the rest?
You two can be the teachers this time, and help me learn this song!
Tate Sure!
Liza I'm gonna sing it slowly, OK? One, two...
(Molayne, Tate, and Liza sing together)


  • Archie's Wish
Name Text
(Forest)
Liza This place should work, right?
Tate Yup! Shall we start our dance practice?
(Something glimmers in the distance)
Tate Huh?
Liza Is something there?
(Tate and Liza run to investigate; they find Jirachi sleeping by a pond)
Tate Is that a Pokémon?
??? You found it, huh.
(Archie appears)
Tate Oh, Archie!
Archie This Pokémon's name is Jirachi.
it wakes up from its long sleep, it can make any wish come true.
Tate Any wish?
Liza What an amazing Pokémon!
Archie Yeah... But as you can see, it's still asleep right now.
Could we keep this a secret and just leave it alone?
If word gets out about Jirachi, people will show up by the boatload to try n' use its power...
People's greed knows no bounds. Once one wish comes true, there'll be another wish they want to make.
Pokémon should never suffer because of human egos...
(Tate and Liza exchange a look)
Tate OK! We got it, Archie!
We won't tell anyone about Jirachi!
Liza It wouldn't be nice to interrupt Jirachi's nap!
Archie Right then. Thanks for understandin'.
(Tate and Liza say goodbye and leave)
Archie Say, Jirachi...
How nice would it be if everyone had a kind heart like them...
(Tate and Liza are walking through the park; they're stopped by Anabel and Nanu)
Anabel Here you are, you two.
Nanu We were looking for you, you know? We have to protect you kids.
Liza Protect?
Anabel Yes. We cannot have anything happen to the stars of the star festival.
We will stay with you until the star festival ends.
Nanu Sorry to be a bother.
I did ask if we really needed to protect you two.
Especially because I heard you two were skilled Trainers. Even stronger when together.
Anabel Well, we did hear Ultra Wormholes are opening more actively recently...
It is better than being one step behind when something happens.
Liza Ultra Wormholes?
Tate What's that?
Anabel An Ultra Wormhole is just like a door between here and another world.
Both of you might have seen Ultra Beasts, the Pokémon from other worlds, on Pasio.
Liza Yup, I know them! Those Pokémon that look a bit different from others!
Tate We saw Looker searching for them before.
Nanu Speaking of...where is Looker?
Anabel Apparently he's following a case with head detective Emma.
Nanu I see...I guess they're busy too.
(Transition to Liza practicing her dance at the festival venue)
Days later...
Anabel You improved quite significantly. Your dancing is basically perfect, no?
Liza Hehe! I guess we'll have to see if I can synchronize well with Tate!
Anabel That shouldn't be a problem for you two.
It's almost time to meet up with Tate and Nanu—
(An Ultra Wormhole opens up behind Liza)
Liza Huh?! Wh-what is—
(Liza is pulled into the Ultra Wormhole)
Liza Ahhh!
Anabel Liza!
(Anabel jumps into the Ultra Wormhole; it closes, leaving their Pokémon alone and confused)

(Festival venue; Tate is standing with Anabel and Liza's Pokémon)
Tate I can't find them anywhere!
(Archie arrives)
Archie Is that the little scamp from Mossdeep?
(Archie approaches Tate and Nanu)
Arche Hey, what's going on?
Tate Archie! Have you seen Liza?
Archie No, I haven't...what's happening?
Tate I can't find Liza anywhere, and I can't get in touch with her!
Archie What?!
Nanu Anabel should have been with her, but I can't get in touch with her either.
Only their partner Pokémon were at the meeting point.
Archie This is serious...
Tate What should I do, Archie...?
Archie Cheer up, kiddo! I'll help you search, too! It's gonna be all right!
Tate OK...thank you.
Archie This is an odd situation. I have a million guesses about what bad guys would go after the Pokémon, but...
Real weird for the Trainer to be missing and the Pokémon to be left behind.
Nanu Maybe they went to the other side of an Ultra Wormhole...
Archie Whoa, whoa! Are you saying the kid and that lady cop have been sent to another world?!
Tate Whaaat?!
Nanu I'm saying maybe. It would explain why I can't contact her.
If there's a chance that Ultra Wormholes are involved, we need to talk to the expert...
(Transition to Lusamine, Lillie, and the Aether Foundation investigating the area)
Lusamine We can definitely see traces that an Ultra Wormhole appeared here.
And they're very recent...
Tate So that means...
Archie Hey! How can we save those two?!
Lusamine At this stage, we don't have enough clues to help us locate the world that they were sent to.
Lillie This is a different situation from when you and Mr. Guzma jumped into the Ultra Wormhole on Alola, right?
Lusamine Yes.
Necrozma and Lunala can open Ultra Wormholes on their own, but...
We cannot just open Ultra Wormholes one by one without any idea of where Liza and Anabel are.
We don't know what would happen...or what kind of Ultra Beasts there would be.
We can't expose Pasio to danger.
Tate So that means...I'll never see Liza again?
Lusamine ... ... ...
Lillie Tate...
(Archie thinks about Jirachi)
Archie Don't be givin' up now, Tate! We've still got an option.
Tate Wha-?
Archie Come with me!
Lusamine Where are you—
Archie From here on out, this is between me and Tate—and it's top secret!
(Transition to a Liza and Anabel in a town with a pitch-black sky)
Anabel There's no sign of people at all...
This looks similar to Pasio, but it seems to be a completely different world.
Liza I'm scared, Anabel...
Anabel Don't worry. I'll protect you no matter what happens, Liza!
(Having said that... It's going to be very hard to do that in the current situation, without our Pokémon...)
(But on Pasio, there are Pokémon with the power to open Ultra Wormholes!)
(If only there was some way for us to let them know our location...)
(A wild Celesteela appears)
Anabel Ah! An Ultra Beast!


  • No Matter the Distance
Name Text
Anabel ... ... ...
...Good, it's not hostile towards us.
Liza And you are...?
Anabel This Pokémon's name is UB-04—no, actually, it's called Celesteela.
Liza I see...
Anabel This Ultra Beast shouldn't be in a place like this, based on recent research.
Liza Were you sad because you were all alone?
Anabel No reaction at all...
(A Nihilego's cry is heard)
Liza Whoa!
(A wild Nihilego appears behind Liza)
Anabel Another Ultra Beast?!
Liza, be careful! This one looks hostile!
(Celesteela attacks the Nihilego, and it flees)
Anabel What?
Liza Thank you, Celesteela! You're so strong!
Aww...
Anabel Haha... Very hard to read what it's thinking, as expected from a Pokémon from another world.
Although, something is off. Same for those Ultra Beasts and Celesteela...
They're in a completely different place from where they usually live.
Maybe they wandered in here, just like us...
Liza Does that mean...
Anabel Yes. There might be an Ultra Wormhole that leads to somewhere else.
(Transition to Tate and Archie at Jirachi's pond in the forest)
Archie There's a legend of Jirachi that goes like this:
Jirachi will awaken from its sleep of a thousand years if you sing to it in a voice of purity.
It is said to make true any wish that people desire.
Tate...if you really want to find Liza, I think Jirachi will respond.
Tate But...are you sure, Archie?
You said you wanted to leave Jirachi alone...
Archie Heh.
If Jirachi refuses, I won't force it to do anything.
But if Jirachi itself wants to help, that's a different story!
So basically, it's up to you, Tate!
First we'll see if you're able to sing a song that wakes Jirachi...
And then we see if your wish is sincere!
Tate Thank you for giving me a chance, Archie.
I practiced so much with Liza. I'll try and sing!
(Tate looks at Jirachi and begins to sing)
Tate When you look up at the sky and wish, the stars will quietly shine. ♪
If you wish upon the stars, tomorrow shines bright... ♪
Archie ... ... ...
Tate Oh, my heart that used to be lonely... ♪
is embraced by your light. ♪
(Jirachi wakes up)
Archie Ji-Jirachi woke up!
(Jirachi cries out and turns to Tate)
Tate Jirachi...
Archie Go ahead, say your wish. Jirachi's waiting for you.
Tate OK!
Please, Jirachi! Bring Liza and Anabel back to Pasio!
I can't stand the thought of never seeing Liza again!
(Transition to Liza running through the dark world; Anabel and Celesteela are a long way behind her)
Anabel What's going on, Liza?!
(Liza stops and turns around)
Liza I can hear Tate singing!
Anabel What? Singing? I can't hear anything...
Liza Over here!
(Liza runs off)
Anabel Ah, wait!
(Anabel and Celesteela run after Liza; they arrive at a pond in the forest similar to Jirachi's pond, above which is an Ultra Wormhole)
Liza I can hear Tate singing from over there!
Anabel (The twins have a very strong connection...)
(Maybe that Ultra Wormhole leads to our original world?)
Celesteela! Can you fly us to that Ultra Wormhole?
Liza Oh, I've got it!
Just go zoom, and then go brrr!
(Celesteela cries out)
Anabel Did it...get the message?
Liza Anabel! Hurry up and grab onto Celesteela!
We're gonna fly towards the sky!
Anabel Y-yes!
(Anabel runs over to Liza and Celesteela, and they fly through the Ultra Wormhole)


  • Wish upon a Star
Name Text
(Forest; Archie, Tate, and Jirachi are looking at an Ultra Wormhole that has appeared)
Tate Please, come back!
(Anabel, Liza, and Celesteela emerge from the Ultra Wormhole)
Archie H-hey! Look, kiddo!
(Tate is shocked and then runs towards his sister)
Anabel D-did we...make it back?
Tate Liza! Anabel!
Liza Tate!
I'm back!
Tate Liza! Are you OK?!
Liza Yup! Anabel was with me, and Celesteela protected us too!
(Celesteela cries out)
Tate Ah, I'm so happy!
Thank you, Jirachi! Because of you, I got to see Liza again!
(Jirachi makes a happy noise)
Liza Jirachi! You woke up!
Tate Yup, that's right! In order to find you two, Archie suggested...
(Tate continues to talk to Liza and Anabel, while Archie watches from afar)
Archie Happy for you two, Tate, Liza...
I'll leave the rest to you, copper.
(Archie leaves)
Anabel Sure. Leave it to me.
Days later...
(Transition to the festival venue; Matt is standing by a drum; Lusamine, Lillie, Anabel, and Nanu are talking to each other;
Hilbert is standing with N and Hilda, who are wearing their summer outfits;
Steven and Lyra are standing together and wearing their summer outfits;
Liza, Tate, Celesteela, and Jirachi are standing in the center, and Molayne approaches them)
Molayne I'm sorry I couldn't help when something so serious was going on...
Tate Don't worry, Molayne!
Liza We came back safe, and we made some new friends too!
(Tate and Liza look at Jirachi and Celesteela, and Jirachi does a flip in the air)
Tate Also, we practiced our singing and dancing even more!
Liza Let's make it a fun star festival with everyone!
Molayne Yeah, that's right! I'll do my best to liven it up, too!
(Tate and Liza do their song and dance while Matt plays the drum; Lillie, Lusamine, Anabel, and Nanu watch them;
Hilda talks to Lyra while N, Steven, and Hilbert talk; Shelly and Archie watch from afar)
Shelly It seems Jirachi has met a nice Trainer.
Archie Yeah...
Hey, Shelly.
I've heard you're supposed to wish upon a star at the star festival event.
What are you wishing for?
Shelly That's a silly question.
I'm pretty sure it's the same as you.
Archie Hahaha! Didn't need to ask, did I?
(Archie looks back at Tate and Liza laughing with their Pokémon)
Archie (I hope when those kiddos grow up, and even after that...)
(People and Pokémon in the world can carry on laughing with each other like this. That's all I wish for.)
