The Ideal Formula (Japanese: 世界を彩る数式 The Formula Coloring the World) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pair N & Zekrom.
First run
The event first ran from December 24, 2020, to January 12, 2021. The "N Poké Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting N & Zekrom from the beginning of the event to January 29, 2021.
In this run, players could earn Prize Coins from battles that could be used to draw items from a Prize Box pool. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Challenge N, which could only be challenged once per day. If the grand prize was drawn from the Prize Box, players could advance to the next prize pool. The grand prizes included area info for event story areas, Skill Spheres, 5★ Scout Tickets, Power-Up items, a Strike Move Candy Coin, and a Tech Move Candy Coin. Extra Prize Coins were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.
The player could battle using N & Zekrom to obtain +0.6× bonus Prize Coins; Hilbert & Oshawott/Dewott/Samurott, Hilda & Tepig/Pignite/Emboar, or Elesa & Zebstrika to obtain +0.4× bonus Prize Coins; and Iris & Haxorus, Scottie/Bettie & Pikachu, or Scottie/Bettie & Torchic to obtain +0.2× bonus Prize Coins.
This event featured the Full-Force Battle, where players were challenged to defeat a large group of strong opponents. Similar to the Legendary Arena, players could use multiple teams with a limited number of total sync pairs, with the opponents' health carrying over between rounds and with previously used pairs unable to be used again until the challenge is reset. Medals could be earned by completing specific missions.
In addition, players could earn a medal for completing all the story areas in the event.
Second run
The event reran from September 13 to 17, 2021 as a part of the Two-Year Anniversary Rerun Event. This run only contained the story areas and the battles between them; the Prize Box, Prize Coins, Challenge N, and Full-Force Battles did not return. In addition, no medals could be earned.
Third run
The event reran again from November 7 to 21, 2022. While there was no scout directly corresponding to the event, N & Zekrom were featured in the "Vol. 3: Monthly Poké Fair Scout" which lasted for all of November 2022.
In this run, everything functioned identically to the first run. The only difference was the grand prizes, which now included area info for event story areas, Power-Up items, 5★ Unova Scout Tickets, Skill Spheres, and a Support Move Candy Coin.
Plot
N and his Zekrom arrive on the island of Pasio, where he is sighted by Hilda, Cheren, and a Masked Man with a Zoroark. Hilbert, keen to meet N again, goes in search for him alongside Hilda, Cheren, and the player character.
Meanwhile, N is exploring the streets of Pasio where he meets Iris and Bianca. Iris, who is keen to show N around, leads the group to the Pasio arena. As Champion of Unova, Iris challenges N to a battle, noting that N had defeated Alder in the past. An intense battle follows between Iris's Haxorus and N's Zekrom. Following the battle, the three decide to look for Hilbert as N is also keen on meeting him on Pasio.
In the forests, Hilbert, Hilda, Cheren, and the player encounter Team Break who are intimidating a Youngster into stealing his Poochyena. When Hilbert challenges them, the leader of this group, the Masked Man with his Zoroark reveals that they have also captured the Youngster's little sister. Team Break makes a deal in releasing the little sister, in exchange for kidnapping the protagonists instead.
N, Iris, and Bianca, unable to find Hilbert, find out from PML staff that he has been captured by Team Break. With the help of the Youngster's Poochyena's sense of smell, the group find and apprehend Team Break at their hideout. However, the Masked Man reveals that capturing Hilbert had all been part of his ploy in attracting N to the hideout. The Masked Man, not a previous member of Team Plasma, notes that he reveres the views of Team Plasma and sees Pasio as a prison for Pokémon. He then asks N to become the king of Team Break. N however reveals that through his travels, he has seen the potential that can be found when people and Pokémon could be together. Refusing to back down, the group battle Team Break and succeed in defeating the Masked Man and his group.

Hilbert | After all this time, I can finally see him again, here on Pasio... |
Hilbert | There's a lot of stuff I need to say to N! Let's go look for him, <player>! |
- The Hero Arrives on Pasio
Name | Text |
---|---|
(Zekrom flies over Cheren while battling Team Break) | |
Cheren | Was that...Zekrom?! Then that means... |
Masked Man | No way! HE came to Pasio?! |
(Zekrom lands in a field) | |
??? | So, this is where you wanted to bring us. |
N | The artificial island of Pasio. |
(Hilda looks from afar) | |
Hilda | Hey, is that... |
(Transition to the Pokémon Center) | |
Hilbert | No way! Are you sure?! |
Hilda | I'm positive! You've told me all about him, so I knew exactly who it was! The person I saw was definitely N! |
Hilbert | Wow. So N is here on Pasio... I haven't seen him in so long. |
Hilda | Hilbert... You really want to see him again, don't you. Why don't we go look for N? I'll show you where I saw him! |
Hilbert | Yeah, let's go! Thanks! <player>, why don't you come with us, too? I wanna introduce you to my friend! |
- The King of Team Plasma
Name | Text |
---|---|
(Field) | |
Hilda | That's odd—he was just here earlier. I wonder where he went. |
Cheren | Well, he never was the type to stay in one place for very long. |
Hilbert | If you both saw him, then he was definitely here for sure! |
Cheren | Yeah, but Team Break got away while I was distracted. I still have so much to learn. |
Hilbert | Hey, I get it. This is N we're talking about, after all. |
Hilda | You know, I've been wondering about this for a while now... but who exactly is this N guy, anyway? I mean, what's his deal? |
Hilbert | Wait, you don't know, Hilda? Even after everything that happened in Unova? |
Hilda | I-I just like to focus on battling—that's all! Besides, <player> also needs to know what's going on, right? |
Cheren | Yes, I do!: Yes, that's probably for the best. |
Hilbert | Who is N?: Yeah, we should bring you up to speed before we go meet him. This N we're searching for... He used to be the king of Team Plasma. |
Hilda | Whoa! Team Plasma?! Even I know about them! They're that group who'd say stuff about how we need to liberate Pokémon from their human oppressors. But in reality, they were just a bunch of Pokémon-stealing jerks! |
Hilbert | Yeah, we had a few run-ins with Team Plasma in the past. We also clashed with N a few times. |
Cheren | But the real mastermind was Ghetsis. He was controlling everything for his own gain. After Ghetsis was apprehended, Team Plasma laid low for a while. |
Hilbert | But N's feelings toward Pokémon—his beliefs...they were genuine. |
Hilda | His beliefs? |
Hilbert | He believed that Pokémon suffered because of misguided humans... So to change this messed-up world, he thought we needed to separate Pokémon and humans. All to help Pokémon, our friends... |
Cheren | Ghetsis exploited N's beliefs, and we ended up battling each other. Looking back, I can't believe it even came to that. Even though we all cared about our Pokémon...we still had to fight. |
Hilda | Hilbert, Cheren... N must have a really pure heart, huh? |
Hilbert | But through our battles and travels, N's beliefs began to waver. He saw with his own eyes how Pokémon and humans can understand and help each other. And he made a real effort to try to understand how we felt. That's why N is a really important friend to me! |
Hilda | A friend... I see! I'm still trying to process all this, but I think I get how you feel. Let's go find your friend so you can see him again! |
Hilbert | Thanks! |
Cheren | That said, N is really unpredictable. It might take a while to figure out where he is. |
Hilbert | No matter how hard it is, we'll definitely find N. There's a lot of stuff I need to say to him! |
Cheren | Like what? |
Hilbert | Nothing major, but...something important. OK, let's head out and find N! |
(Transition to N in town) | |
N | So this is Pasio... An artificial island where humans and Pokémon can coexist... |
??? | I knew it was you! Hey there, N! |
(Bianca and Iris appear) | |
N | You two... |
- The Ones Who Bested Alder
Name | Text |
---|---|
Iris | C'mon, N! Over here! |
N | Sure. |
Iris | Jeez! Don't be such a Slowpoke! The sun's about to set, and we haven't even finished showing you around town! |
Bianca | *chuckle* There's no rush, Iris. He did just get here, after all! Let us know if anything catches your eye, N. We'd be happy to give you a closer look. |
N | Yes...thank you. |
Iris | By the way, where's Zekrom? Is it in a Poké Ball right now? |
N | No. It seems Zekrom is also very interested in Pasio. |
(Zekrom flies over the town) | |
Bianca | Whoa! So that's Zekrom, huh? It's so cool! |
Iris | Wow...a Legendary Dragon Pokémon... OK, I know where we should go next! Follow me! |
Bianca | Wait for us, Iris! |
N | ... ... ... |
(Transition to the arena) | |
Iris | This is the Pasio arena! It's normally used for Pokémon battles, but there aren't any matches happening today. |
N | Pokémon battles... |
Bianca | Iris, I'll go get us permission to use the arena! |
Iris | Oh... Do you not like Pokémon battles, N? |
N | No, it's not that... |
(Zekrom appears) | |
Iris | Ah! Zekrom! |
N | A Pokémon battle is a way for us to see what wonderful things others have to contribute. Accepting different ideas and different beings changes the world like a chemical reaction. Zekrom taught me that... |
Iris | Different ideas? A chemical reaction? I don't really get all that, but I guess it means you don't hate Pokémon battles! Me, I love to battle! Oh? Yes, I know. |
N | You people are very strange. |
Iris | Hm? How so? |
N | You know what I did in Unova, don't you? I was the king of Team Plasma. We fought the Gym Leaders and the Champion. We opposed everything you stood for. You have every reason to hate me. I don't see why you would be kind to me. So...why? Why are you being so welcoming? |
Iris | Why not? |
N | What do you mean? |
Iris | You know, the former Champion of Unova, Alder, was really, really strong. But he lost to you, right? |
N | ... ... ... |
Iris | Alder always used to say... the ones who change the world are always the ones who pursued their dreams. I think that's why you beat him! Because you've been pursuing your dream of making Pokémon happy! |
N | Wha— |
Iris | There's no way I could hate someone like that! And also... Zekrom is so calm around you. I know you can understand what Pokémon say, but I can tell what dragons are feeling! |
N | ... ... ... You're different from me, Iris. |
Iris | Huh? |
N | It's not just that you can understand the hearts of dragons. You also understand the hearts of people. With you as Champion, Unova will become a place where Pokémon can live peacefully. |
Iris | N... Thanks! I'll do my best! |
Bianca | Yoo-hoo, Iris! I got permission to use the arena! |
Iris | Thanks, Bianca! N... Battle me! I've always wanted to battle you! You defeated Alder, after all! |
N | Iris... Yes, I'd like that, too. I want to see the power of the current Unova Champion! I'll surpass you! |
(Iris and N battle) | |
(Transition to sunset) | |
Iris | Phew... Boy, are you two strong! |
N | You're strong, too, Iris. I wonder what would have happened if you had been the Champion I challenged back then. |
Bianca | It's getting late. Let's head out, shall we? |
Iris | Let's hang out again tomorrow! I'll bring Hilbert along, too! |
N | Hilbert?! He's on Pasio, too? |
Bianca | Come to think of it, he's been wanting to see you again for a while now! We probably should have invited him today. |
Iris | Then I'll definitely bring him with me tomorrow! |
N | I'm going to see him again... |
(Transition to the forest) | |
Cheren | The sun's starting to set... Guess we couldn't find any clues to N's whereabouts. |
Hilda | Let's keep searching for him.: Yeah! It's still too early to give up! |
Cheren | Let's keep searching for him.: I understand how you both feel, but it's getting dark. Let's stop for today. Let's try again tomorrow.: Good idea. It'll be harder to find him when it's dark out, anyway. |
Hilbert | Yeah. What a bummer, though. |
Hilda | Hey, cheer up! We know he's here somewhere! |
Cheren | Let's ask Bianca to help us tomorrow. I'm sure we'll find him if we do. |
Hilbert | Good idea. |
??? | NOOO! Go away! |
Cheren | What was that?! |
Hilbert | It came from over there! |
(Team Break attacking a Youngster) | |
Masked Man | Give us your Pokémon! It's for its own good! |
Youngster | No! Poochyena's my friend! |
Masked Man | Your "friend," huh? My Zoroark is strong! I've spent years raising it! |
Hilbert | Hey, cut it out! |
Cheren | If you're going to resort to force, you'll have to go through us. |
Masked Man | Who are you? Hm? You... |
Hilbert | Well? You gonna take us on or what? |
Masked Man | Very well... We won't take this Pokémon. However! You're coming with us to our secret hideout! |
Hilda | What in the world are you talking about? There's no way we're going with you. |
Masked Man | Heh heh heh... Maybe this'll change your mind. |
(Team Break holding a Preschooler hostage) | |
Preschooler | Waaah! Waaah! I want my big brother! |
Hilda | That little girl! |
Cheren | Tch! What a dirty trick. |
Masked Man | Well? What're you gonna do? |
Hilbert | Fine, let's go. |
Masked Man | Heh heh... How very cooperative of you! |
(The group leaves with Team Break) | |
Youngster | What do we do now? |
- N to the Rescue

(Beach) | |
N | This is a world created by humans... |
Bianca | Heeeey, N! |
N | Good morning, Bianca, Iris. Oh? Hilbert's not with you? |
Iris | It's really weird—for some reason, we can't get ahold of him! |
Bianca | And not just him! Cheren and Hilda, too! It's not like them at all. I hope nothing bad has happened... |
??? | Pardon me! |
(A Pokémon Ranger appears with the Preschooler and Youngster) | |
Pokémon Ranger | I'm with PML staff. Do you have a moment to answer a few questions? |
(Screen fades to black, then back) | |
Bianca | That's them! It's Hilbert and our friends! |
Iris | They were kidnapped by Team Break?! |
Youngster | They did it to save us... |
Preschooler | Waaaah! I'm soweeee! |
Bianca | I-it's OK. Don't cry. Hilbert and the others will be OK. |
Iris | I wanna go help them...but we don't know where they went... |
(The Youngster's Poochyena barks) | |
N | Really? |
Bianca | What is it, N? |
N | ... ... ... |
(Transition to the player's group in the Team Break hideout) | |
Cheren | It's been a while since they brought us here, but we still have no idea what Team Break is up to. |
Hilbert | Yeah. I can't believe they're just keeping us locked up here. |
Cheren | What in the world are they thinking?: No idea. That's why it's so creepy. |
Hilbert | What if they never let us go?: No way! We'll find a way out of here—don't you worry! |
Cheren | Focus on staying calm. That way, we can be prepared to deal with whatever they try to do. |
Hilda | Argh! I can't take it anymore! Hey! Team Break! Come out and face us! |
Hilbert | Shhh, Hilda! |
Masked Man (1) | Well, aren't you a feisty one? Sorry, but we're in the middle of preparing a grand welcome for N. |
Hilbert | N?! What's he got to do with this? |
Masked Man (1) | If you're here, N will surely come. You're the reason Team Plasma fell from grace... I'm just using you so I can achieve my dream! |
(Tremor) | |
Masked Man (1) | What's going on?! Why is the ground shaking?! |
Masked Man (2) | Sir, we have a problem! |
(Transition to Bianca and Iris battling Team Break) | |
Iris | Go get 'em, Haxorus! |
Bianca | Help us out, Musharna! |
Masked Man (3) | How did they find our secret hideout?! |
??? | This little one remembered your scent and led us right to you. |
(N appears with the Youngster and his Poochyena) | |
N | I'm here to rescue my friends! No matter what! |
Hilbert | N! |
N | Hilbert... |
Bianca | Are you all OK?! |
Iris | Hold tight! We'll get you out of this! |
Masked Man (1) | I-it's really you...<be>I've dreamed of meeting you, N. Your Majesty! |
Iris | Wha—? |
N | ... ... ... |

(Team Break lets go of the player's group) | |
Hilda | I'm glad we're getting out of this mess, but... |
Hilbert | N, do you know this guy? |
N | No. At least...I don't think so... |
Masked Man | Of course you wouldn't know me. I'm not from Unova. But I believe wholeheartedly in your dream! |
Cheren | N's dream? |
Masked Man | Have you had a chance to walk the streets of Pasio, Your Majesty? |
N | Yes. |
Masked Man | Wasn't it just awful? "A paradise where humans and Pokémon coexist." That's supposedly the concept of this island. But nothing could be further from the truth! This place is nothing but a glorified prison for Pokémon... |
N | Pasio is...a prison? |
Hilda | That's nonsense! You don't know what you're talking about! |
Masked Man | Nonsense, you say? Think about it! Pokémon are trapped on this island and have their freedom taken away! It's no different from the oppression of a Poké Ball! And they're forced to battle each other in that ridiculous PML tournament! Even Pokémon who don't want to battle are forced to do so against their will! This island is nothing but a false utopia, created by egotistical humans! |
N | ... ... ... |
Bianca | That's not what Pasio is! |
Cheren | And where do you get off lecturing us after all the bad things Team Break has done? |
Masked Man | Yes, I agree. Team Break is the worst. They selfishly use Pokémon for their own desires. However, they do have power. And I wanted to use that power to save Pokémon! But I wasn't strong enough... Your Majesty! Please, help me save the Pokémon! Become the king of Team Break! |
Iris | The king of Team Break?! |
Hilbert | N... |
Masked Man | We're nothing like Ghetsis! We really want to save Pokémon! We want to change this gray world, where black and white—people and Pokémon—have been mixed together instead of kept separate... So please! Lend us your strength! |
N | ... ... ... |
Masked Man | Your Majesty! |
N | I have traveled the world and seen much of it... No matter where I went, the relationship between people and Pokémon was the same. What did you call it? Ah yes, a gray world. |
Masked Man | Exactly! That's what we need to change! |
N | However... That's how you see the world. It's not what I see. |
Masked Man | Wha— |
N | This world isn't gray at all. You only see it that way because you're not trying to see the truth! I've seen with my own eyes people and Pokémon coexisting. I saw it here on this paradise island called Pasio! |
Masked Man | Your Majesty... |
N | Pokémon can unleash their true power by being with people. And people can discover their true potential by being with Pokémon. Instead of separating black and white, we must accept it. That's what I learned from my travels around the world! The formula that makes up this world! |
Hilbert | N... |
Masked Man | Your Majesty, no... It can't be... Even if Team Plasma has changed, I didn't want to believe that you've changed, too. Fine. I'll do it myself. I will be the successor of your old dream! Right after I take you down! |
(Team Break reinforcements appear) | |
Cheren | After all that talk, you're just going to resort to brute force? |
Hilda | We'll handle these ones back here! N, Hilbert—you guys take him down! |
Hilbert | Yeah! C'mon, N! |
N | Yeah! We'll protect the dreams of everyone here! |

(Bianca, Cheren, Hilda, Iris, and the player battle and defeat Team Break) | |
Hilbert | Now's your chance, N! |
N | Let's do it, Hilbert! |
(Hilbert and N battle and defeat the masked man) | |
Masked Man | Argh! Why are you so strong? |
Hilbert | It's over. Just surrender already. |
Masked Man | I don't want to, but...fine. There's no way I can win here. But I haven't given up! I'll be back to make your old dream a reality! |
N | ... ... ... |
Hilbert | N! |
N | This is why we shouldn't separate people and Pokémon. |
Masked Man | What?! |
N | Your friend loves you. It says it wants to be with you forever. That's why it battled us with everything it had. If you make your dream a reality, you'll be separated forever. And yet, your friend still fought its hardest for you... |
Masked Man | Zoroark... |
N | Instead of listening to the things I said in the past, maybe you should listen more to your friend here. Your Pokémon has so much love for you. |
Masked Man | ... ... ... Let's go, Zoroark. |
(Transition to the beach at night) | |
Iris | I was really worried when I heard you'd been kidnapped, but I'm so glad you're all OK! |
Bianca | Yeah! And we finally were able to get Hilbert and N together. |
Cheren | Yes, I'm glad, too. |
Hilda | Hm? What's wrong, Cheren? |
Cheren | Did you wanna talk to N, too?: Yeah. I have my own history with him. Now that I'm a Gym Leader, I think I'd be able to approach our conversation from a different point of view. Are you worried about Hilbert?: Yeah. I'm just wondering what was so important that he had to tell N in person. I'd like to talk to N, too... but there's a proper order to this sort of thing, you know? So I'll let Hilbert go first. |
N | Bianca told me you've been looking for me. |
Hilbert | Yeah... |
N | I thought about you a lot during my travels. Our run-ins, our battles, and... what you taught me. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for you. |
Hilbert | N... Don't even sweat it! That's what friends are for, you know? |
N | *chuckle* True... We are friends. |
Hilbert | Speaking of which, there's something I've been wanting to talk to you about! |
N | What is it? |
Hilbert | Before you left to go on your journey... you told me I should make my dream come true—and that you believed I could do it... Then you just up and left after saying good-bye! I mean, what gives?! Give me a chance to respond, at least! |
N | ... ... ... Pfft! Ahahahaha! You've been looking for me all this time just to tell me that? |
Hilbert | D-don't laugh! Maybe it's a little childish, but... |
N | No, I'm sorry. That really was selfish of me, wasn't it. Let me make it up to you. I plan on staying on Pasio for a while, anyway. Instead of good-bye this time, maybe I should say... see you soon! |
