The Teal Mask
The Teal Mask (Japanese: 碧の仮面 The Turquoise Mask) is the first expansion in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It is scheduled for release on September 13, 2023.
It is followed by The Indigo Disk.
Plot
The player will be chosen to take part in a school trip that is held each year in collaboration with another school. They’ll be taken to the land of Kitakami, where a great mountain towers over the land and the people live at its base. It is a place of tranquil natural expanses, featuring rice paddies and apple orchards. The trip seems to coincide with a festival regularly held in the village in Kitakami during this season, so the village is bustling with various street vendors and stalls. Players will meet new friends and Pokémon as they unravel the mysteries behind the folktales that have been passed down in this land.
