|colspan=2|<center>(City; Rose is talking to a group of Youngsters and Preschoolers)<center/>
|-
|Youngster
|''Whoa! It's huge!''
|-
|Preschooler
|''What Pokémon is that?''
|-
|Rose
|''This Pokémon is called Copperajah!<br>I suppose you're not familiar with Galarian Pokémon, are you.''
|-
|Preschooler
|''Nope!''
|-
|Rose
|''Then allow me to explain all about Copperajah and their connection to the Galar region!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Rose talks to the kids)</center>
|-
|Youngster
|''Wow, you sure know a lot! What's your job, mister?''
|-
|Oleana
|''This is Mr. Rose—chairman of the Pokémon League in the Galar region!<br>As the president of a large business conglomerate, he is truly a hero to the Galar region, working tirelessly to ensure its prosperity.''
|-
|Preschooler
|''Hmm...''
|-
|Rose
|''If you'd like, I could tell you more about the Galar region...''
|-
|Oleana
|''We need to leave soon, Chairman Rose.''
|-
|Rose
|''Oh yes! I nearly forgot.<br>There are still many other places we need to see.<br>I'm terribly sorry, but let's speak again soon.<br>Good-bye for now, everyone!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Rose and Oleana talking to a Pokémon Breeder in town;<br>Victor, Gloria, Hop, Sonia, and Leon walk past, but they stop when they notice Rose)</center>
|-
|Victor
|''I-is that Chairman Rose?!''
|-
|Rose
|''Hm?''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Rose and Oleana approach the group, who are all still frozen in shock)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''Oh, what a pleasant surprise! How nice to see you all taking in the sights!''
|-
|Sonia
|''What?! Hold on—I wouldn't call this a pleasant surprise!''
|-
|Leon
|''Weren't you arrested?''
|-
|Rose
|''Hmm? What are you talking about?''
|-
|Oleana
|''I beg your pardon?! What do you mean, Chairman Rose was arrested? How rude of you!<br>This is clearly a case of defamation, and—''
|-
|Rose
|''Now now, Oleana.<br>They're just joking! Right, everyone?''
|-
|Gloria
|''H-haha! Yes, you're right... S-sorry...''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Victor, Gloria, Hop, Sonia, and Leon exchange glances and walk a few feet away to talk privately)</center>
|-
|Sonia
|''Hang on a minute!''
|-
|Hop
|''What's going on?!''
|-
|Gloria
|''Neither of them seems to remember anything!''
|-
|Leon
|''It didn't look like they were lying or trying to play innocent...''
|-
|Victor
|''Could it be that...<br>they really haven't done anything wrong?''
|-
|Gloria
|''Umm... What do you mean?''
|-
|Victor
|''People who have come to Pasio have been saying...<br>that after they arrive, they sometimes remember or acknowledge things slightly differently than their friends...<br>Maybe, for some reason, there are people coming to Pasio from a slightly different time?''
|-
|Sonia
|''Many strange things do happen on Pasio...''
|-
|Leon
|''Which means those two over there...''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Leon glances at Rose and Oleana, who are talking to a female Sightseer)</center>
|-
|Leon
|''might be Chairman Rose and Oleana from before they caused the Darkest Day in Galar.''
|-
|Hop
|''Do you think they might start something on Pasio?''
|-
|Leon
|''I'm not sure, but...''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Leon remembers Eternamax Eternatus coming out of the clouds)</center>
|-
|Leon
|''I suppose Chairman Rose's "wish" hasn't changed since then...''
|-
|Gloria
|''... ... ...''
|-
|Rose
|''Excuse me? What have you been whispering about this whole time?<br>We've finally gotten to see each other. I'd be delighted if you all talked to me as well!''
|-
|Sonia
|''Oh, s-sorry! We're done now! Haha...''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(The group walks back over to Rose and Oleana)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''I have an idea! It would be a waste to simply stand here and talk.<br>Why don't we have a chat while walking around Pasio?''

|colspan=2|<center>(Rose, Oleana, Victor, Hop, and Gloria are walking through town)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''It's a shame that Leon and Sonia are too busy to join us...<br>Oh?''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Allister and Gengar are fighting Shauntal and Chandelure in the square in front of the group)</center>
|-
|Allister
|''Gengar... Swallow everything in darkness...''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Allister uses his sync move)</center>
|-
|Oleana
|''That's...Allister, isn't it? What was that move?''
|-
|Shauntal
|''I'm not losing! Go, Chandelure!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Shauntal uses her sync move)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''Wow! Again?!''
|-
|Oleana
|''I think I saw something shine before they used those moves...''
|-
|Hop
|''Those are sync moves!''
|-
|Victor
|''The sync stone converts the bond of a sync pair into power.''
|-
|Rose
|''Wow!<br>A sync stone, you say... It must hold a lot of energy!''
|-
|Oleana
|''I'm sure spectators would be thrilled to see a flashy battle like this.''
|-
|Rose
|''Hmm...<br>Could you tell me who on Pasio knows the most about sync stones?<br>If you can give me a name, I'd love to meet them!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Rose, Oleana, Victor, Hop, and Gloria in Lear's villa; Professor Bellis and Lear approach them)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''Well, well! What a pleasure to have Prince Lear himself welcome us!''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''We heard you wanted to discuss sync stones...''
|-
|Rose
|''That's correct! Let's talk as soon as possible!<br>I'm committed to solving the energy problem in the Galar region—and, of course, around the world.<br>I've been scratching my head every day and haven't been able to find the perfect solution...<br>However, the power within these sync stones is truly remarkable!<br>It even has the potential to save the future a millennium from now!''
|-
|Lear
|''A millennium?''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Victor, Hop, and Gloria look thoughtful)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''So, here's my suggestion.<br>Let's change the sync stones' management system right away...<br>and funnel all the resources used in its research into energy development instead!<br>What do you think?''
|-
|Lear
|''But changing it so quickly would be far too sudden...''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Chairman Rose.<br>Using sync stones to develop energy is a wonderful idea.<br>However, sync stones have value beyond being a good source of energy.<br>We don't want to limit the use of sync stones to a single purpose.''
|-
|Lear
|''I agree.<br>Sync stones can enrich the connection between people and Pokémon.<br>We shouldn't rush our research on how to use sync stones "correctly."''
|-
|Rose
|''Why is that?''
|-
|Lear
|''On Pasio, there are people who try to abuse sync stones' power.''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''We wouldn't want to abandon sync stones' boundless potential by limiting our research to simply energy production.<br>There are also still many mysteries surrounding sync stones. Thus, they can be unstable at times.<br>I want to spend time examining the utility and dangers of sync stones from multiple angles.<br>As someone responsible for sync stone research, I cannot compromise on this.''
|-
|Rose
|''I see... I understand how you two feel.<br>Let me think over my idea.<br>Thank you for your valuable time.''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Hop, Gloria, and Victor walking through town)</center>
|-
|Hop
|''Chairman Rose...''
|-
|Gloria
|''As we expected, he's thinking about solving the energy problem as soon as he can.''
|-
|Victor
|''Even if it's not NOW, as long as we work together, we should be able to find a solution...<br>I hope he agrees.''

|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Hop, Victor, Gloria, Lear, Professor Bellis, and Leon are talking at Professor Bellis's lab)</center>
|-
|Leon
|''I see. So Chairman Rose said all that...''
|-
|Victor
|''I hope he doesn't try to use force again...''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Force?''
|-
|Leon
|''Oh, I guess I should tell the two of you about him...<br>In the past, Chairman Rose caused the Darkest Day to happen again in Galar.''
|-
|Lear
|''The Darkest Day?''
|-
|Leon
|''Yeah, he awakened Eternatus and tried to use its energy to solve Galar's problems.''
|-
|Lear
|''Wait, didn't Eternatus—?''
|-
|Leon
|''Yeah, Eternatus caused that incident in which Dynamax Pokémon were rampaging on Pasio.<br>The exact same thing happened in Galar. Dynamax Pokémon went on a rampage and caused a lot of damage...<br>As a result, the Chairman Rose we know took responsibility by turning himself over to the police.''
|-
|Hop
|''But the Chairman Rose that's here now doesn't seem to remember any of it...''
|-
|Lear
|''I see. That's why you're worried he might do the same thing again.''
|-
|Leon
|''Yeah, but I think...<br>that we share the same desire to create a brighter future for Galar and the world.<br>I don't want us to repeat the same tragedy by working at cross-purposes.''
|-
|Professor Bellis
|''Even if Chairman Rose does try something, I don't think he'll be able to do anything impactful.<br>He's only just come to Pasio, so I don't think he has the unique facilities he'd need for his research...<br>Above all, I've been managing my sync stone research data with extra care, since Giovanni has been coming after it.''
|-
|Leon
|''I see...<br>(I do hope nothing happens...)''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Rose and Oleana on the beach at night)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''They have a way to save the future right in front of them!<br>Why are they dragging their feet?!<br>I must provide limitless energy to ensure everlasting prosperity for everyone...<br>It is my purpose, my duty, my destiny!<br>I need to do something as soon as possible—for our future!<br>Even if I become hated for it.''
|-
|???
|''That spirit...<br>I can see you are a man of remarkable caliber.''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Giovanni approaches, wearing his sygna suit)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''And you are...?''
|-
|Giovanni
|''Just like you, I also lead an organization.<br>I know a way to extract sync stones' power.<br>But I can't seem to find a better way to use that power...<br>So, how about it? Interested in working together?''
|-
|Oleana
|''I don't think it's a good idea to listen to this suspicious man, Mr. Rose.''
|-
|Rose
|''It doesn't matter who he is, Oleana.<br>If we're to protect the future, we can't be picky about our methods.''
|-
|Giovanni
|''Wise decision.''
|-
|Rose
|''I must gain management over all sync stones, even if I have to be somewhat aggressive.''
|-
|Giovanni
|''Hmm...<br>To do that, you'd need to own Pasio—the only place where you can find these sync stones.''
|-
|Rose
|''Yes, I suppose that's true.''
|-
|Giovanni
|''What a wonderful plan.<br>For the time being, let's not share this with your acquaintances from Galar...<br>And let us proceed...in secret.''

|-
|colspan=2|<center>A few days later...</center>
|-
|Sawyer
|''Is that the application form for the arena?''
|-
|Leon
|''Yeah! I want to host a massive event with Pokémon battles!''
|-
|Gloria
|''We're planning on hosting it with everyone from Galar!''
|-
|Sawyer
|''I see... Unfortunately, Chairman Rose has already submitted an application.''
|-
|Hop
|''What? Chairman Rose?''
|-
|Gloria
|''Then how about a different stadium?''
|-
|Sawyer
|''Chairman Rose has submitted applications for all of them.<br>The only place available is the village square.''
|-

|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Leon, Sonia, Gloria, Hop, and Lear watching the battle)</center>
|-
|Leon
|''So it seems Chairman Rose is trying to compete with us...<br>by hosting events with Pokémon battles in large venues.''
|-
|Sonia
|''We've lost quite a bit of our audience to him, too.''
|-
|Hop
|''Hmm, that's suspicious...''
|-
|Lear
|''Nevertheless, there wasn't anything strange about the application itself.<br>We can't reject an application based on who the applicant is.''
|-
|Leon
|''Victor has joined one of Rose's events for us, just in case...''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to the stadium;<br>Victor is standing in line with Volkner, Colress, Clemont, Sophocles, Molayne, and others)</center>
|-
|
|''So far, it looks like a normal event.''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Rose steps up to address the crowd)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''Thank you all for gathering here! I would like to make a big announcement today!<br>In fact, this speech is being broadcast all over Pasio.<br>Based on the results of our research on sync stones...<br>we are working on developing technologies that can utilize their energy.<br>Now, let me guess what you're all thinking.<br>"Sync stones should only be used for Pokémon battles."<br>Regrettably, that understanding is incorrect!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(A clamor rises from the crowd, and Victor looks pensive)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''Today—as proof of what I just shared—we shall share some of our findings with everyone!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>Rose presented a variety of his inventions to the spectators...</center>
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(The crowd cheers, including Volkner, Colress, Clemont, Sophocles, and Molayne)</center>
|-
|Victor
|''(It shouldn't be easy to access the research data on sync stones!)<br>(How did he get his hands on it?!)''
|-
|Rose
|''As you can see, sync stones...<br>have the potential to be an excellent source of energy—to create a better future!''
|-
|Colress
|''Oh-ho! So there are still other ways to utilize sync stones!''
|-
|Clemont
|''Maybe he can help me with my inventions.''
|-
|Rose
|''However!<br>The wonderful value of sync stones has been ignored...<br>and they have been downgraded to simple tools used to promote Pasio!<br>That is because...<br>Prince Lear, the leader of Pasio, has been controlling and monopolizing them!''
|-
|Victor
|''Wha—?!''
|-
|Rose
|''Sync stones can be used to enrich everyone's lives!<br>Why should we use them only for battling?<br>Shouldn't we be acting as quickly as we can, to research how we can use them for energy?<br>To ensure we can thrive a millennium from now, and even for an eternity...<br>I, Rose, would like to take over all sync stones' management!''

|''Hey, what did you think about that speech?''
|-
|Poké Fan
|''Isn't it a bit much to be thinking about a problem that might happen a millennium from now?''
|-
|Professor Sycamore
|''We need to avoid a future where we fight over limited resources...<br>And we should probably think about what to do—even if it is about the distant future.''
|-

|''See? Even the professor says so!''
|-
|Professor Sycamore
|''Hold on, I don't agree with everything he said...''

|-
|Rising Star

|-
|Lear
|''Do you have some sort of plan?''
|-
|Leon
|''Yeah! But in order for it to work, I need everyone's help!''
|-
|Lear
|''Chairman Rose has been trying to solve a problem that's a thousand years away from affecting us!''
|-
|Leon
|''It was the same when he caused the Darkest Day. As long as he's able to protect the future, he doesn't care what people think of him now.<br>That's why, before anything like that can happen, I want to properly tell him this time that...<br>we can change the future together—not alone!''
|-
|Victor
|''Me too!<br>I don't want Chairman Rose to make the same mistake again!''
|-
|Gloria
|''I also want to tell him we should cooperate!<br>I think that the future Chairman Rose cares about and the Pasio Lear is aiming to create are both wonderful!''
|-
|Hop
|''Yeah! I feel the same!''
|-
|Lear
|''Heh, nice to hear.''
|-
|Leon
|''OK then! Everyone!<br>We're about to have some battles, but it's not to defeat someone!<br>We're going to battle in order to understand each other—and to move toward a shared future!<br>Let's show Chairman Rose our new future!''
