Joined by Nemona and Penny, Arven and the player make their way to [[Area Zero]] at the Great Crater of Paldea, following the Professor's request, and are tasked with visiting four research stations to unlock the door to the Professor's laboratory at the bottom. Arven initially butts heads with Penny, jealous of her and Nemona's friendship with the player, but later opens up about his lonely past to them, with him and Penny exchanging apologies. The further the group descends into Area Zero, the more they begin to encounter peculiar Pokémon, with similarities to those of the present day but with primeval{{sup/9|S}}/mechanical{{sup/9|V}} qualities. Professor Sada/Turo reveals them to be Pokémon successfully summoned from a time machine they built in the Area Zero Depths. Arven attempts to ask the Professor why they were called to Area Zero, but they become hesitant and request that they wait until they are face-to-face for a proper explanation. Seeing how the professor addresses the player as the one they hope to fix things, Arven hands them the copy of the Scarlet{{sup/9|S}}/Violet{{sup/9|V}} Book. Upon reaching another research station, Arven and the player are surprised to see a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}}, just like the Quaking Earth Titan they faced previously. The pair defeat it, with Arven speculating if the Titan Pokémon they encountered on the surface of Paldea also came from Area Zero. | Joined by Nemona and Penny, Arven and the player make their way to [[Area Zero]] at the Great Crater of Paldea, following the Professor's request, and are tasked with visiting four research stations to unlock the door to the Professor's laboratory at the bottom.

Upon reaching another research station, Arven and the player are surprised to see a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}}, just like the Quaking Earth Titan they faced previously. The pair defeat it, with Arven speculating if the Titan Pokémon they encountered on the surface of Paldea also came from Area Zero. Inside another research station, the Professor reveals that the Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} the player has been traveling with is only one of two species they were able to bring over to Area Zero, and Arven recounts his experiences with the dragon, and how he grew to hate it for playing a part in his parent's neglect. Arven and the others make their way to the final research station, where Professor Sada/Turo's messages suddenly glitch out and "restart", and though the Professor attempt to play it off as transmission difficulties, an aggrieved Arven quickly realizes for himself that they haven't been talking to the real Professor at all. | |||
The player's group eventually reaches the Zero Lab, where the Professor warns them of the Paradox Pokémon within that may try to escape. Concerned about the battle ahead, Arven suggests the player bring out Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} to assist them, remembering its strength and theorizing that being in Area Zero may coerce it out of its timid nature. The group and Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} watch as the door to the Zero Lab opens, only to be briefly confronted by the second Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}, whose aggressive disposition nearly initiates a battle before it sees the open Zero Lab and ventures inside. Arven and the others only have a brief moment to calm down before they are ambushed by the Paradox Pokémon escaping the Zero Lab. Arven assists the player in fighting a Flutter Mane{{sup/9|S}} | |||
