The new story will take players beyond the Paldea region. In Part 1, titled “The Teal Mask,” the protagonist goes on a school trip to Kitakami. Here, they participate in an outdoor study program organized jointly by their academy and another school. In Part 2, “The Indigo Disk,” the protagonist travels to Blueberry Academy as an exchange student, which is affiliated with their own school.
