Story event
Story events are a type of limited-time events in Pokémon Masters. These focus on a specific sync pair, but unlike training events, also provide an extra storyline. They also feature co-op battles that reward the player with vouchers that can be exchanged in the shop for items.
Reach for the Top
This story event ran from September 3 to 30, 2019. It was focused on the sync pair, Blue and Pidgeot. The "Blue Spotlight Scout!" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Blue and Pidgeot during the duration of the event.
Plot
The player meets Blue with his Pidgeot who remarks that he would love to have battled the player, except that he had already battled other Trainers today. However, he agrees to give the player some battling tips. He first introduces the player to Flannery but is surprised to find that the two are already acquainted. The three then have a battle with another team.
Blue next introduces the player to Misty, only again to find out that they are on the same team for the Pokémon Masters League. Blue states that the player could be much stronger if he was on the team, but Misty is incredulous that Blue always believes he is better than her. Flannery suggests a battle to resolve the argument, and Blue further suggests joining a team-on-team elimination battle. Blue and Flannery join the player to form a team and win against their first opponent.
After winning themselves to the finals, Blue is surprised to receive a Poryphone message stating that Misty had been defeated. Misty soon joins the player's team and Blue accuses her of being sloppy in battle. Misty pretends not to hear and delivers a message from the opponent who defeated her stating he wants a rematch with Blue. Misty leaves the arena and they soon find out that their finals opponents is Bruno from the Indigo Elite Four.
After the battle, Bruno commends how well the player's team worked together. Bruno's apprentice is dumbfounded that they lost against children, however, Bruno remarks that underestimating them as children indicated that he still harbors hubris and concludes that team battles are about how well Trainers work together, not on individual strength. Bruno, Blue, and Flannery all pledge to train even more. Flannery and Bruno begin training together immediately.

The Girl in Black and White
This story event ran from September 30 to October 17, 2019. It was focused on the sync pair, Hilda and Tepig. The "Hilda Spotlight Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Hilda and Tepig during the duration of the event.
Plot
At a sweets festival, the player, Hilda and Roxanne are in a queue for Casteliacones. Roxanne is eager to learn about Casteliacones and explains the importance of learning, such as having knowledge in Pokémon battles. Hilda believes that actually tasting a Casteliacone would be the best way to learn than simply describing one.
At that moment, a Masked Woman cuts in front of them. Hilda, Roxanne and the player defeat the Masked Woman in battle, forcing her to line up from the back of the queue.
Roxanne acknowledges Hilda's power in battle but states that her style is a little reckless. Hilda rebuts saying that a Trainer needs to jump in to know what is going to work or not, and that stopping and thinking might cost the Trainer a chance. Hilda believes that taking action is the most important, while Roxanne believes thorough planning is crucial.
A Pokémon Ranger who witnessed their previous battle then asks them for a battle. After defeating her, Roxanne realizes that despite having opposing battle styles they were still able to win.
Soon, there is an announcement that Casteliacones had been sold out and the team walk away disappointed.
They are next met by Thorton who has also been intrigued by their battle and would like to analyze their Pokémon. Roxanne points out that Thorton has bought four Casteliacones and Thorton agrees to give them the ice cream if they battle him.
After defeat, Thorton finds out that his data analysis was insufficient to keep up with the movements and commands of the team. Hilda and Roxanne both realize that they are in sync as a team despite their differences in battle style.
Once they receive the Casteliacones, they find that they have now melted. Hilda and Roxanne plan to come again tomorrow to buy Casteliacones.

The Importance of Elegance
This story event ran from October 31 to November 14, 2019. It was focused on the sync pair, Caitlin and Reuniclus. The "Caitlin Spotlight Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Caitlin and Reuniclus during the duration of the event.
Plot
In Centra City, Caitlin watches on as the player battles against another team. After the battle, Caitlin approaches the player and comments that the player may improve their battling by adding a touch of elegance. She clarifies that elegance is remaining calm and collected during battle to show dignity, refinement and grace.
Candice then joins the conversation thinking they are talking about fashion. Caitlin explains that they were discussing about battling and that elegance is of utmost importance. They decide to battle to see how grace and elegance can improve one's battling prowess.
After battling another team, Candice remarks that her battle style is all about focusing hard. Despite being far from elegant, Caitlin appraises Candice's strength and energy, and that it suits her and her Pokémon. Caitlin reflects that she was once forbidden to battle because she could not control her psychic powers when she would lose. She states that she learnt to control her negative emotions from Psychic-type Pokemon as they could manipulate their power at will. Caitlin states she would like to learn more about focus, while Candice replies she would like to learn more about elegance.
After the next battle, Roxie joins in on the conversation and remarks that she thinks it is the rhythm and passion of the battle that is more important than focus or elegance. They decide to battle Roxie to see exactly what she means by the beat of battle.
Despite losing to them, Caitlin and Candice remark that they were impressed by Roxie's battling and that they were able to feel the beat. Caitlin concludes that each Trainer has their individual styles which make them unique and that one should not push others to follow their own personal methods. She reflects that the player values kindness above all else.

The "Seasonal Scout A" and "Seasonal Scout B" give players an increased chance of recruiting Holiday 2019 Rosa and Delibird, Siebold and Octillery, and more other pairs during the duration of the event.
Plot
The player meets Rosa and Maylene on the streets of Pasio, searching for the legendary chef Siebold who is currently scouting for an assistant. Rosa is keen to become his assistant so that she can throw a party for her friends with her own home-cooked meals. They come across a Black Belt who is also wanting to apply as Siebold's apprentice.
After defeating the Black Belt, they successfully find Siebold and Rosa asks to become his assistant. Satisfied after a brief interview and Pokémon battle, Siebold decides to hire Rosa as his assistant. Mallow then arrives a moment too late to apply for the same position, and instead asks Siebold for a Pokémon battle and cook-off to test whether she would also receive his stamp of approval.
Rosa and Siebold change to their festive uniforms for the battle, and Rosa finds that a Delibird has followed her, likely a stowaway from the parcels the uniforms were sent in. Mallow then dishes up her special "Z-Set" dish which inspires Siebold to create a new recipe. Rosa later gives the player a Replay Ticket for helping her out.
