Plot

Lillie, Steven, and N invite the player to a battle event that Lear has chosen them to host: the Unity Gala. They wear special outfits provided for them by Lear, excited to host stylish battles in front of an audience.

At the gala, Lillie chooses Professor Kukui as her first opponent. She thanks him for all the support she got from him in Alola, offering him a battle against her Legendary partner Pokémon Lunala to show off her gratitude, and Kukui happily accepts the offer. In the audience, Elio and Selene cheer for Lillie, while Gladion admits that Lillie has grown strong enough for him to consider her his rival.

After Lillie and Kukui's battle is over, it's N's turn to step onto the arena. Before the match, however, Lear requests N to give a speech, with Sawyer explaining that Lear wishes to support his dream and help him spread his message. N gives a speech on his views of the bonds between people and Pokémon, and urges everyone to treasure the bond they have with their partner Pokémon in order to persist through the occasional harshness of reality. He also admits that Pasio is just about the closest thing to his ideal as anywhere can be. After the speech is over, N asks the player to battle against him, but Hilbert and Hilda wish to battle N too, so N instead decides to team up with the player and make the match a Double Battle.

In his first match, Steven faces Wallace, using his Shiny Rayquaza partner in the battle and thanking Wallace in helping him in uncovering the mysteries surrounding Rayquaza and thus learning to understand it better. He remembers a battle he once had against another Rayquaza, with a formidable Trainer standing by his side to help. Now that he's partnered up with this Rayquaza on Pasio, he wishes to grow strong enough with it to surpass that Trainer. He also expresses his hopes of battling the other Trainer on Pasio who's teamed up with a Rayquaza someday. While he and Wallace resume their match, Zinnia is listening nearby.

Later, Nate and Rosa admire N's Reshiram and wish to support him in realizing his dream; Rayquaza becomes interested in Leon's Eternatus due to its meteorite-like energy; Liza and Lunatone are fascinated by Lunala; Professor Sycamore and N compare the similarities between the Legendary Pokémon of Unova and Kalos; and Zinnia and Steven's Rayquaza partners become interested in one another, with Zinnia wishing to battle Steven someday to see which of their Rayquaza is stronger.

Lillie	I'm so excited for the Unity Gala!
Lillie	Getting to battle someone I respect so much at an event like this... It's like a dream come true!
Steven	It sounds like you've chosen your opponent for the gala, then?
Lillie	I have! It's someone I really owe a lot to.
N	I'm not sure who to invite yet...
Lillie	The gala's going to be wonderful! Let's all enjoy it together!

You're Invited!

Name	Text
(Pokémon Center)
Lillie	<player>! We're here to invite you to a special battle event that Lear is putting on—the Unity Gala!
Steven	We wanted to share our excitement with you in person rather than simply dropping off an invite.
N	Our hope is that we can all use this gala to express how much we love our partner Pokémon!
Lillie	Yes! Lear actually asked the three of us to host the event. He even had these fancy outfits made for us just for the occasion!
N	We're going to wear them when we take the stage in the arena.
Steven	And the audience is going to get to see some impeccably stylish battling!
Lillie	I can't wait! Hope to see you there, <player>!

Lillie's Evolution

Name	Text
(Arena)
Kukui	Lillie! You sure you want me to be your opponent? There've gotta be tons of sync pairs out there who would jump at the opportunity to battle you, yeah!
Lillie	I've already decided that I want you as my first opponent, Professor Kukui! Though...now that you're actually here...I'm feeling kind of nervous!
(Elio, Gladion, Lusamine, and Selene watching from afar)
Lusamine	Oh no—my sweet Lillie... This is her big moment! Should I do something to help?
Selene	We only have one job to do right now, and that's to cheer them on with everything we've got!
Elio	You can do it, Lillie! Professor Kukui! We're rooting for you!
Lillie	Back in Alola, you helped me out more times than I could count, Professor Kukui. I wouldn't be who I am today if not for all of the amazing people who supported me along the way. This battle is for you—to show you all how truly thankful I am! Come on out, Lunala!
Kukui	Oho! You partnered up with the Legendary Pokémon Lunala?! Aw yeah, I'm into it! As for me... I gotta go with my buddy Lycanroc! Man, it makes me so happy to see how much you kids have grown! I hope we can all keep working together to make Alola— Nah...Pasio! No... ...the WORLD a more fun place to be!
Lillie	Me too!
Gladion	Hmph... You've gotten strong, Lillie. You're not just my little sister. You're also my rival!
Kukui	Bring it on, Lillie!
Lillie	I'll show you my full power, Professor Kukui! Lunala and I are coming at you with everything we've got!

N's Dream

Name	Text
Lear	Brilliant match! What a great start! Next up, we have N... Come, trust in the bond between you and your Pokémon, and show us all a glorious victory! But wait—before we move on to the match... N, would you care to grace us with a speech?
N	A...speech?
Sawyer	The young master heard about your dream and wanted to support your message somehow. It would please him greatly if you could share a few words.
N	Well, uh... I'm not really accustomed to giving speeches. So...I suppose I'll just speak from my heart. Humans and Pokémon can form strong connections together. Aid one another. It's why we make the best partners. But in order for that to happen, we have to accept ideas that are different from ours instead of shunning them. Seeing Pokémon and Trainers form sync pairs, seeing how they find common ground with one another and battle together in teams... Pasio is about as close to my ideal as anywhere can be. But darkness still exists in this world, and reality can be a harsh place to live in sometimes. That is why today, I want all of you to turn to your partner Pokémon and remind yourselves of the irreplaceable bond you share! Show your Pokémon your true, unwavering love! If all of us can do that, I believe we can change this world like a chemical reaction. That takes care of that, then... Are you ready, <player>? As you've already seen once today, we get to choose our own opponents at the Unity Gala. I'd like to use this battle to express how grateful I am to have met so many wonderful sync pairs on Pasio. So I'd like you to—
(Hilbert and Hilda appear)
Hilbert	Hold up! I'm the one you wanna battle!
Hilda	Hey, you can't just jump the gun like that! N! Pick ME to be your opponent!
N	I'd love to battle you both, but I can't exactly choose between you... Ah, I know! Why don’t we have a double battle? You two against <player> and me.
Hilda	I like the sound of that! Let's do it, Hilbert!
Hilbert	All right! Look out, <player>! And you, too, N! We won't go easy on you!
N	chuckle I'm glad we found a solution, even if it is a bit much. Now then, let's get this lovefest back on track! It's time to battle!

Steven's Strength

Name	Text
Steven	Now, Rayquaza!
Wallace	Simply wonderful. You and Rayquaza are in perfect harmony with one another!
Steven	Well, I believe you deserve some credit for helping me dissolve much of the mystery surrounding Rayquaza.
Wallace	Ah... Are you referring to Hoenn's ancient lore and the Draconid people?
Steven	Indeed. Thanks to you, I gained a deeper understanding of Rayquaza. I chose to battle you today to show you how much that's paid off.
Wallace	That's all you, Steven. You're the one who was curious about the relationship between Mega Evolution and meteorites in the first place, right?
Steven	That's true, I suppose... I did battle a Rayquaza once before, though. If not for the help of a certain formidable Trainer, I would have been in deep trouble. That battle remains burned into my memory to this day. I can still see it clearly in my mind—that Trainer standing defiantly before the might of Rayquaza. Now that I've partnered up with this Rayquaza here on Pasio... I hope that the pair of us can grow strong enough to surpass him!
Wallace	No wonder you were so focused on researching Rayquaza back then.
Steven	Besides, there's another Trainer on Pasio who's partnered up with a Rayquaza. I’d like to battle her someday, too. And this time, I think I'll be able to approach a battle against Rayquaza a bit differently than before.
Wallace	You do hate to lose, don't you, Steven.
Steven	If I'm going to battle, I'd obviously rather win than lose! Just like I intend to defeat you right now!
Wallace	I won't go down so easily! Prepare to be dazzled by my aquatic illusions!
Steven	Let's do this, Rayquaza!
(Zinnia watches, then leaves)

Quietly Wishing

Name	Text
Rosa	Wow, your Reshiram is gorgeous, N!
Nate	It's so cool! You two look awesome together!
N	Thanks! I couldn't be happier.
Rosa	They say that Reshiram helps those who want to build a world of truth, right? No wonder you two make such a great team!
Nate	We want to help you turn your dream into a reality, too! And maybe...if we try really hard, we can even turn Ghetsis around one day.
N	Perhaps... But I'm my own person, and so is he. We both think very differently. Our goals are not the same. However...I'd like to wish for everyone to be happy, regardless of who they are or where they're from. That's the kind of love I'm capable of as a human being.
Nate	N...
Rosa	You're such a kindhearted person, N. You really understand the power of truth!
N	Thank you for saying that. If that's true, then I owe a lot to the people and Pokémon I met back in Unova and here on Pasio. They helped me become who I am today. You think so, too, Reshiram? I'm not alone. I have friends.

Two Regions, Two Legends

Name	Text
Serena	Those Pokémon... They look just like the statues at the Parfum Palace back in Kalos!
Professor Sycamore	You're right. How very intriguing!
N	Are you curious about Reshiram and Zekrom?
Serena	Yeah! We have statues of both of them in the Kalos region.
Professor Sycamore	It is said that Reshiram and Zekrom were involved in Unova's creation... whereas Xerneas and Yveltal are said to have had a hand in Kalos's destruction.
N	Two regions—each with two Legendary Pokémon that played a huge role in their region's history... It sounds like the myths of our homelands share quite a few similarities.
Professor Sycamore	Good observation! You're a clever one, aren't you! I think it would be interesting to investigate how the myths of Unova made it over to Kalos in the first place.
N	I'd be curious to see how the tale of these two made it all the way there as well. Maybe Reshiram, Zekrom, and I will have to pay Kalos a visit sometime.

Moon to Moon

Name	Text
Liza	Lunala is a moon Pokémon, isn't it? When it spreads its wings, they almost look like crescent moons. It's so pretty!
Lillie	Lunatone is shaped like a crescent moon, too! How adorable!
Liza	Aww! Look how happy it looks! Maybe it likes the way Lunala made a circle with its wings. Lunatone is always full of energy when the moon is at its fullest!
Lillie	Do you think Lunatone may have mistaken my Lunala for the real moon? That's so cute. I bet the two of them would make the best of friends. Moon Pokémon are bound to get along with each other, right?
Liza	I think so! They'd make a cosmic combination for sure!
Lillie	We should team up together! That sounds like it would be so much fun!

Like a Meteorite

Name	Text
Steven	What's the matter, Rayquaza? Are you curious about Eternatus? It's acting like it does when it sees a meteorite...
Leon	Oh, is Rayquaza attracted to meteorites? Interesting... They say that Eternatus arrived to the planet inside a meteorite that fell in ancient times! Maybe it's got a meteorite-like energy about it because of that!
Steven	That would make sense... In any case, it seems your partner has sparked a flame within Rayquaza. Shall we sate its curiosity with a battle?
Leon	I never refuse a challenge! A legendary face-off between two Legendary Pokémon... This ought to be good! Sounds like Eternatus is keen as well!
Steven	Come on, Rayquaza! Let's show these two how strong we are!

Double Rayquaza

Name	Text
Steven	I assume you came to watch the gala?
Zinnia	Pshh, I couldn't care less about it. But my Rayquaza here seems to be very interested in yours.
Steven	What a coincidence. My Rayquaza seems quite interested in yours as well. Maybe it's natural for Rayquaza to be drawn to other Rayquaza.
Zinnia	Who knows? Appearance isn't everything. They could look totally different from one another and still be drawn to each other.
Steven	True... You may be right about that.
Zinnia	Well, good talk. I've got places to be...
Steven	But you've only just arrived! Why not stay and enjoy the gala for a while?
Zinnia	Listen. I'm not here to make friends, all right? But there is something we're gonna need to clear up here pretty soon. And that's which one of our Rayquaza is stronger. And cooler.
Steven	I'll be looking forward to it. Rayquaza and I will blow your imagination away!
