|-
|Youngster
|''Woohoo! We did it!''
|-
|Preschooler
|''Yaaay! We won, we won!''
|-
|Raihan
|''Haha! Great teamwork, you two!<br>If you can't do something on your own, you can work together with others to be even stronger!''
|-
|Leon
|''Exactly! You can only do so much on your own.<br>But if you work together as a team, you can overcome any obstacle!<br>And that's something I want everyone to remember!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Rose in Lear's villa; Oleana approaches him)</center>
|-
|Oleana
|''Mr. Rose.<br>Apparently, in various areas on Pasio...<br>Champion Leon has been hosting Pokémon battle events focused on using sync stones.''
|-
|Rose
|''I see... That certainly sounds like something he'd do.<br>However, I expected he'd show he has an opposing view.<br>I'll proceed with my next step, then.''
|-
|Oleana
|''In that case...''
|-
|Rose
|''Yes, please prepare for the announcement.<br>The announcement of their incredible inventions...''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Back in the square, Leon is laughing with the kids, but Gloria approaches him, wearing her challenge uniform)</center>
|-
|Gloria
|''Leon, we've got a problem!<br>There's been an announcement in town about some inventions that use sync stones!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Rose, Oleana, Clemont, Sophocles, and Volkner surrounded by a crowd in town;<br>Leon and Gloria approach them)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''Oh? Well, well, if it isn't Leon.<br>Don't you have an event you need to attend?''
|-
|Leon
|''Chairman Rose! And you all are...''
|-
|Volkner
|''Yo, Champion.''
|-
|Sophocles
|''H-hello...''
|-
|Leon
|''What brings them all here?''
|-
|Rose
|''They're here to, ah, collaborate with me.<br>With help from their excellent young talent, I plan to use sync stone energy more effectively.''
|-
|Leon
|''What?!''
|-
|Rose
|''You all seem to misunderstand me.<br>I don't intend to limit sync stones' potential.''
|-
|Gloria
|''Huh?''
|-
|Rose
|''In fact, I have a question for you all.<br>The potential of people and Pokémon...or our energy problem...<br>Which do you believe we should prioritize?''

|-
|Leon
|''Which should we prioritize?''
|-
|Rose
|''Yes. Time is limited.<br>That applies to these great inventors as well.<br>The ideas and technology formed by their young talent will eventually wither away. They won't wait for us forever.<br>But what about the relationship between people and Pokémon?<br>It can flourish right now, without having to rely on sync stones, wouldn't you say?<br>Surely we can take our time with that.<br>Right now, we ought to be researching energy use that could save our future.''
|-
|Leon
|''That's...''
|-
|Volkner
|''Hey, I don't think Mr. Rose would use sync stones maliciously.<br>Would it really be that bad for him to be in charge of the sync stones?''
|-
|Clemont
|''The inventions people create will light up the future.<br>That itself isn't a bad thing.''
|-
|Gloria
|''Um, then why...<br>Why do you all seem unhappy?''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Volkner, Clemont, and Sophocles look surprised)</center>
|-
|Gloria
|''You're all passionate about inventing things, but you don't seem excited at all.''
|-
|Volkner
|''Well, to be honest...<br>Mr. Rose's request involves a lot of restrictions.''
|-
|Rose
|''Restrictions? That's not true!<br>We've no time to play around. We've got to save our future as soon as possible!<br>And to do that, we must eliminate anything that's useless!''
|-
|Sophocles
|''Useless...you say?''
|-
|Rose
|''Yes, that's correct.<br>Your ideals aren't necessary right now.<br>That is, not for the future a millennium from now that I envision.''
|-
|Clemont
|''It seems we're unable to create what Mr. Rose wants...''
|-
|Sophocles
|''Yes...''
|-
|Volkner
|''I'm afraid I don't think we can be of further help.''
|-
|Clemont
|''I'm sorry, but please excuse us...''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Volkner, Clemont, and Sophocles leave)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''*sigh* How disappointing.''
|-
|Leon
|''Chairman Rose.<br>With the way you're going about things, you'll end up limiting sync stones' potential.<br>That seems clear from your conversation.''
|-
|Oleana
|''What are you—?!''
|-
|Leon
|''Your way of doing things shuts other people down.<br>And with that, your valued partners will drift away.<br>Your options will start to run out, until eventually you hit a dead end.<br>Do you really think you can save "the future a millennium from now" like that?''
|-
|Rose
|''Of course I do.<br>My experience and accomplishments that made Macro Cosmos a success are proof my methods work.''
|-
|Leon
|''I see...<br>If you still don't understand, even after this conversation, there's only one option left.<br>Since we're both Trainers...<br>Then instead of using words, we can face each other heart-to-heart!''
|-
|Rose
|''Are you suggesting we settle this with a Pokémon battle?''
|-
|Leon
|''Yes.<br>For you to understand the importance of connecting with others...<br>I challenge you to a group battle, Chairman!''
|-
|Rose
|''I don't intend to change my mind, even if I lose.''
|-
|Leon
|''... ... ...''
|-
|Rose
|''But I suppose I'll accept, if that's what will satisfy you.<br>And if I win against you, I can spread word of my ideas on a larger scale.<br>However, I have you as my opponent.<br>I'm clearly at a disadvantage when it comes to Pokémon battles.<br>You wouldn't mind if I brought along some "supporters"...<br>Would you, Champion Leon?''
|-
|Leon
|''Bring whoever you'd like. Victory will be mine.<br>We'll change your mind with our shining brilliance!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Rose and Leon stare each other down; transition to Victor and Looker meeting up in an alley)</center>
|-
|Looker
|''Victor, I've gathered some valuable information on the matter you wanted me to look into.<br>I suppose we saw this coming...but it seems that man is involved.''
|-
|Victor
|''Then Chairman Rose's "partner" must be...''
|-
|Looker
|''That's right.<br>It's Giovanni, the boss of Team Rocket.''

|colspan=2|<center>(Professor Bellis's lab; Leon, Gloria, Victor, and Looker are talking)</center>
|-
|Leon
|''Chairman Rose and Team Rocket's boss?!''
|-
|Looker
|''Yes. Team Rocket has been using their usual method to achieve their goals.<br>They agitate others, then commit crimes behind their backs.''
|-
|Leon
|''Are you saying they're just using Chairman Rose to get what they want?!''
|-
|Looker
|''I'm afraid so.<br>There's no way Giovanni has any interest in "the future a millennium from now" that Mr. Rose has been lamenting.''
|-
|Gloria
|''Then we need to hurry and tell Chairman Rose about this!<br>If he finds out he's been working with Team Rocket, then maybe...''
|-
|Victor
|''No. I don't think that'll work.<br>Chairman Rose said...''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Flashback to Chairman Rose)</center>
|-
|Victor
|''"If it's for the sake of a prosperous future, I don't care who I work with."''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Back to present)</center>
|-
|Victor
|''So...''
|-
|Leon
|''You're right...<br>Now that Chairman Rose has made up his mind, it's unlikely he'd stop even if we told him who he's working with.<br>Just like the time when...<br>he forcibly carried out his plan even knowing the dangers of Eternatus.''
|-
|Gloria
|''... ... ...''
|-
|Leon
|''That's why we must fundamentally change Chairman Rose's way of thinking in our upcoming battle.<br>So let's face him head on with our strength and our feelings!''
|-
|Gloria
|''Yeah!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Leon in standing in the center of the arena)</center>
|-
|colspan=2|<center>On the day of the tournament...</center>
|-
|Leon
|''Thank you, everyone, for gathering today!<br>The upcoming match will be a group battle!<br>Each side will have nine Trainers, and they'll go head-to-head using Pasio's three-on-three team battle format.<br>The team with the most wins overall will be the victor!<br>We're gonna make this tournament epic! I hope you all enjoy!''

|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to a group watching the tournament on a big screen)</center>
|-
|Ace Trainer
|''Which side do you think will win?''
|-
|Rising Star
|''I'm thinking Lear's supporters! After all, they've got Leon on their side!''
|-
|Ace Trainer
|''But we can't underestimate Rose's supporters either.<br>I'm sure Mr. Rose has a secret strategy planned!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Raihan, Nessa, and Sonia watch the crowd from a distance)</center>
|-
|Sonia
|''To the public, today's match was announced as just another tournament, but...''
|-
|Nessa
|''It sure doesn't seem that way.''
|-
|Raihan
|''Yeah. People are seeing this as settling the score between two factions—Lear's supporters and Rose's.<br>Normally, there'd be no chance to win in a Pokémon battle against Leon.<br>Makes me wonder why Chairman Rose is looking so confident.''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Leon talking to Gloria, Hop, and Marnie in the arena)</center>
|-
|Leon
|''All right, the first battle's about to begin! I'm counting on you all!''

|-
|Saturn
|''These days, we believe in science and are working toward completing the human spirit.<br>If Mr. Rose wins, we can expect advancements in the practical uses of sync stones.<br>That would benefit us, which is why we agreed to this match!<br>By no means do we agree with Mr. Rose's ideology.''

|-
|Rose
|''... ... ...''
|-
|Lear
|''There are still a lot of mysteries to sync stones...<br>We need your help for our own sake, too.<br>We can research using sync stones for energy and open up new possibilities while still acknowledging the power of the human heart.<br>In the end, don't you think that's most efficient for both of us?''
|-
|Rose
|''Well said, as expected...<br>I accept defeat for this battle.''

|-
|Colress
|''It seems that way.''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Colress returns Klinklang, and Maxie returns Groudon)</center>
|-
|Rose
|''Your sync stones' shine is proof of the strength of connections...<br>You're right. I couldn't shine like that on my own.<br>It seems there are many on this island who are more capable of things like that than I am.<br>Sync stones are rooted in the power of the human heart.<br>So approaching them scientifically isn't enough. I understand that now.<br>I see it's also necessary for sync pairs to have a place like this—somewhere they can compete with each other freely.''
|-
|Victor
|''So does that mean...?''
|-
|Rose
|''Yes, in conclusion...<br>Monopolizing sync stones and managing them myself isn't the best way of doing things.''
