Champion Time (Japanese: チャンピオン　タイム！ Champion Time!) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Leon & Charizard and Marnie & Morpeko.

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 the first four story areas in the event.

First run

The event first ran from February 26 to March 18, 2021. The "Leon Master Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Leon & Charizard for the duration of the event, and the "Marnie Poké Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Marnie & Morpeko for the duration of the event.

In this run, players could earn Travel Tokens from "Challenge Pasio's Trainers" single-player battles. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Super Tough Battle!, which could only be challenged once per day. The player could use Travel Tokens to move to an adjacent space on the event map, collecting the item on that space. Reaching the checkpoint on a map would allow the player to unlock a new story area, if one was available, and advance to the next map. In addition, the maps would occasionally include a story sub-area that could be unlocked when the player moved to that space. Once all the story sub-areas had been unlocked, the player could find grand prizes on the map, which included Power-Up items, 5★ Scout Tickets, Support Move Candy Coins, and Custom ★ Power-Up items for Leon & Charizard and Marnie & Morpeko. Extra Travel Tokens were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The player could battle using Leon & Charizard, Marnie & Morpeko, Piers & Obstagoon, or Gloria & Zacian to obtain 0.6× bonus Travel Tokens; and Scottie/Bettie & Pikachu or Scottie/Bettie & Torchic to obtain 0.2× bonus Travel Tokens.

In addition, mission rewards included Gems for completing main story areas and battles, and medals for completing the Full-Force Battles.

Second run

The event reran from February 18 to March 11, 2023. The "Leon Master Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Leon & Charizard from the beginning of the event to March 18, 2023, and Leon received a power boost that allowed him to Gigantamax his Charizard and use Max Moves. The "Marnie Poké Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Marnie & Morpeko from February 20 to March 25, 2023.

In this run, players could earn Prize Coins from battles that could be used to draw items from a Prize Box pool. 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, area info for story sub-areas, 5★ Scout Tickets, Power-Up items, Skill Spheres, and a Tech Move Candy Coin. Additionally, Daily Super Tough Battle! was renamed to Daily Extreme Battle 1. Extra Prize Coins were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The player could battle using Leon & Charizard, Marnie & Morpeko, Piers & Obstagoon, or Gloria & Zacian to obtain 0.6× bonus Prize Coins; and Scottie/Bettie & Pikachu, Scottie/Bettie & Torchic, or any unlisted Galar sync pair to obtain 0.2× bonus Prize Coins.

The event missions were tweaked slightly: the reward for completing main story areas was changed from Gems to Co-op Sync Orbs, the number of battles required to complete the missions were changed, and an additional Full-Force Battle mission was added, which awarded a Strike Move Candy Coin.

Third run

The event reran again from December 3 to 21, 2024. In this run, the last grand prize was changed to a Support Move Candy Coin, and the final mission was changed to award only Gems. Everything else was the same as the previous run.

Plot

The player, along with Gloria, meet up with Leon, Piers, and Marnie, who have just arrived in Pasio, with a crowd cheering with excitement at the arrival of the Galar Champion. Leon brings out his Charizard, while Piers and Marnie remark on how Leon's reputation has preceded him, even on Pasio, and declare that they and Gloria are going to have some battles too.

Later, Lear, Rachel, and Sawyer commence the three exhibition battles featuring the new arrivals from Galar: Gloria and Zacian versus Alder and his Volcarona, Marnie and Morpeko versus Karen and her Umbreon, and Leon and his Charizard versus Blue and his Blastoise. Gloria wins her battle, while Marnie loses to Karen, and Leon beats Blue. After Marnie's loss, she feels as if she has disappointed her fans, but Gloria, Piers, and Leon cheer her up. After the exhibition battles, the player and other sync pairs from Pasio, along with Leon, Marnie, Gloria, and Piers, meet up and talk about various topics around the island.

Script

• Pokémon Center (event conversation)

Name	Text
Leon	The artificial island of Pasio...looks like a lot of fun!
Leon	It's one of the duties of the Champion to get the crowd fired up! That doesn't change, even here on Pasio! We're going to have a champion time!

• The Unbeatable Leon Arrives

Name	Text
(Town)
Gloria	Leon! Marnie! Piers! Over here!
Leon	Hey, Gloria! I can feel the excitement in the air! This place sure reminds me of Galar!
Gloria	Yeah! Everyone's pumped up because you all came!
Leon	Hello hello, Pasio! Your Galar Champion, Leon, is here! I promise I'll keep doing my best to deliver the greatest battles for you all to watch!
(Crowd cheers)
Beauty	Leon! You're amazing!
Street Thug	I'm looking forward to seeing your teamwork with Charizard!
Leon	Thanks for the support! Let's all have a champion time!
Piers	Looks like your reputation as the unbeatable Leon precedes you here on Pasio as well.
Marnie	Hey, Gloria an' I are gonna have some battles, too, y'know!
Gloria	Yeah, Marnie! We'll just have to show them what we're made of when we have our matches! <player>, you have to come and cheer us on!
Leon	We'll see you at the arena!

• Exhibition Match Kick-Off

Name	Text
(Arena)
Lear	We will now commence exhibition matches celebrating the arrival of Leon, Champion of the Galar region! This event will feature three exhibition matches! The first match: Gloria and Alder! The second match: Marnie and Karen! And to top it all off, we'll have a showdown between Blue and Leon! These elite Galar Trainers are the best of of the best. Feast your eyes on these matches!
Scientist	Leon's going up against Blue?! Now that's a match I can't wait to see!
Ace Trainer	I can't believe I'll be able to see Leon, the unbeatable Champion, battle here on Pasio!
Gloria	Wow. Feel that energy? It reminds me of the stadiums back home in Galar!
Leon	Yeah! Let's give this pumped-up crowd some matches to remember!
Marnie	Yeah. We can't let them down.
Leon	I'm cheering for you!: OK! Let's show them some unforgettable battles! I can't wait to see the match between Champions!: I promise, these matches are really gonna get the crowd going!
Piers	What's wrong?
Marnie	That's Karen, right?
Piers	Yeah. She's a member of the Johto Elite Four...an' she uses Dark-type Pokémon, just like you. She's strong—that goes without saying. But there's a lot you could learn from her, too.
Marnie	Karen, of the Johto Elite Four... I'm not gonna lose to her!
(Alder and Gloria face-off)
Gloria	I'm so excited to battle the former Champion of Unova!
Alder	Yes, I see how strong you stand. And looking at your partner Pokémon... You're the best opponent we could ask for! Here we go!
(Alder and Gloria battle)
Gloria	You're really strong, Alder! But we're not done yet!
Alder	Am I being overpowered?! This is nothing! I will overpower you! Volcarona, it all comes down to this!
Gloria	Zacian! Let's show them our true power! Go!
(Gloria defeats Alder)
Alder	Well done! You certainly are an unmatched talent!
Gloria	Alder, you were so strong! I thought I might lose!
Alder	Not at all! You may have bested us this time... but don't think I'll let that happen again! I look forward to our next match!
(Marnie and Piers watch from afar)
Piers	You're up, Marnie. You ready?
Marnie	Yeah! Gloria won... So I can't lose now!

• Believe to Achieve!

Name	Text
Karen	Hmmm? So you're a Dark-type Pokémon user, too, are you? I also see you've partnered up with your favorites. I like that in a Trainer.
Marnie	I won't lose, no matter who my opponent is! Leon's not the only name that'll be remembered on Pasio. We'll have everyone cheering just as loud for Spikemuth an' Marnie!
Karen	Is that so? I wish you the best. Just try to entertain me! Let's go!
Marnie	Morpeko! We're in to win this!
(Karen and Marnie battle)
Karen	I've more or less figured you out.
Marnie	Morpeko, hang in there! Time to use that special attack we've been savin'! Morpeko?! No... At this rate, we're gonna lose...even though Gloria won her battle.
Piers	Marnie! Believe in yourself and your partner!
Gloria	You can do it, Marnie!
Leon	Listen, Marnie! You've trained hard in Spikemuth and battled toe-to-toe with your rival during the Gym Challenge! I know what you're made of! You can do more!
Marnie	The Gym Challenge... My rival... (That's right. I challenged Gloria so many times. Ever since the first time we battled, I still haven't beaten her yet, though I've got close.) (But each battle taught me something new, and that's how we made each other stronger!)
Gloria	You can do it, Marnie! Hurray! Hurray! Marnie!
Marnie	Heh heh. That's kind of embarrassing. Right! We've got this! We're stronger now! Nothing left to do but to put everything I've got out there! Morpeko! Time for our sync move!
Karen	Oh? So you do still have some fight in you. Let's keep this going, then!
Marnie	I'll do better than anything you throw at me!
(Karen defeats Marnie)
Marnie	We lost...
Karen	You've got a lot of spunk—I like to see that in a Trainer.
Marnie	Sorry... I couldn't win...
Piers	What're you talking about? You just showed us one heck of a battle.
Gloria	Yeah! Your battle was amazing! You've got so much stronger, Marnie!
Leon	You really pumped up the crowd, too! What a great match!
Marnie	Thanks. To tell you the truth, I also had a lot of fun during that match. And now I know what I need to work on! Since I'm aiming to be a Champion, I'm gonna get even stronger!
Leon	Great! I love that determined look on your face! I'm looking forward to seeing you grow as a Trainer! And I guess that means it's my turn now! I'm gonna rock this crowd!
(Blue and Leon face-off)
Blue	I guess these Galar Trainers aren't too shabby! After seeing battles like that, I'm starting to think this might end up being pretty fun after all!
Leon	I can't lose, either! As the Champion of Galar, I have the duty of getting the crowd fired up! It's the start of an epic battle! Let's enjoy our champion time!

• A Champion Time for All

Name	Text
Blue	Go, Blastoise! Show 'em what we've got!
Leon	Looks like you won't be making this easy for me... But we're still just getting warmed up! With our sync move, we're sure to be the victors! Charizard! Let's show them the true strength of our bond!
(Leon defeats Blue)
Leon	That was an excellent match! Everyone's going wild over it!
Blue	Man, I can't believe I lost! But at least it was fun! I'm always battling Red, so I thought I knew everything there is to know about battling a Charizard. But it makes sense that even with the same Pokémon, different Trainers would come at you with different tactics. I wanna battle you again... And not just once!
Leon	Red... So you two are friends!
Blue	Well...we're more like rivals, really! I keep upping my game and getting stronger because I wanna beat Red! It's only a matter of time until I take him down.
Leon	Rivals, huh? That's true—Trainers don't just get stronger on their own. You and I have both got rivals who make us stronger!
Blue	Oh, really? That rival of yours must be pretty good, given how strong you are!
Leon	Yeah, he's a Gym Leader in Galar... It's all thanks to him that I became known as the unbeatable Leon!
(After the match)
Lear	Well done! I expected no less from the best of Galar!
Ace Trainer	I knew it! Leon's amazing!
Preschooler	I wanna do the Chawrizard pose!
Marnie	That match between the Champions was amazing... I've gotta work even harder! I'm aiming for the top here on Pasio, too! And I'm gonna let everyone know just how cool Spikemuth is!
Youngster	Miss? You were really cool out there! One day, I'm gonna be a Trainer just like you!
Leon	Hear the passion in the voices of all the people cheering for you? You can feel good about how you did today!
Marnie	Yeah! Thanks. Champions really are the coolest.
Leon	Thank you! You know, my dream is to get stronger together with everybody! So let's keep on raising the bar!

(Forest)
Leon	<player>! Great to see you! I'm a bit lost again, to tell you the truth. Could you point me to the Pokémon Center? Head south!/It's that way!: All right! This looks like a great shortcut!
(Leon goes in a different direction)
Leon	Now I've gone and got separated from my Charizard... Would you help me find him, <player>? That'd be a big help!
(When talking to Leon)
Leon	I can't believe my own Charizard would get lost...
(When talking to the Black Belt)
Black Belt	There were two balls of fire floating in the air! I bet it was a pair of ghosts...of a parent and its child!
(When talking to the Ace Trainer)
Ace Trainer	People and Pokémon both meet as a result of losing their way...
(When talking to the Youngster)
Youngster	Champion Leon?! Wow, you're the real thing! B-but there's no time to think about that right now! My Charmander went missing!
Leon	I also need to find my Charizard. Why don't we search for them together?
(Leon's Charizard appears with the Youngster's Charmander)
Leon	Charizard! So you found that lost Charmander and brought it back safely!
Youngster	You're amazing, Leon! You're the reason why I teamed up with my Charmander as a sync pair! We're gonna get a lot stronger! So the next time we meet, please...could you maybe...
Leon	Sure! Let's have a Pokémon battle then! Charizard and I will be waiting for your challenge!

• Shout and Cheer

Name	Text
<player> and Marnie heard rumors of Team Break causing trouble, and they ran to put a stop to it!
Marnie	C'mon, <player>. We're gonna take care of these—
???	Stop right there, Team Break!
Camper	We're gonna protect the peace on Pasio!
Marnie	Wow, how brave! Let's leave the battling to them. We can always jump in if things start lookin' dangerous. That frees us up to support them with some cheering! Let's make some noise!
(When talking to Marnie)
Marnie	We've gotta cheer those kids on! <player>, feel that flow!
(When tapping on the Preschooler battling Team Break)
Marnie	Yeah! You feelin' it? Yeah!/You got this!
(The Preschooler defeats Team Break)
(When tapping on the Youngster battling Team Break)
Marnie	I know you can keep the beat going! Nice!/Now's your chance!
(The Youngster defeats Team Break)
(When tapping on the Camper battling Team Break)
Marnie	You got everyone's cheers backing you! Go go go!/Hang in there!
(The Camper defeats Team Break)
(After Team Break is defeated)
Camper	Thanks for cheering me on! I really felt all that energy you were sending!
Marnie	My cheers will really get you going! You did great, too, <player>. Sometimes it's nice to take a break from battling to team up and cheer for other people.

• Jam Session

Name	Text
(Town)
Piers	Oh? What a coincidence. Three singers, all in one place.
Roxie	Yeah, it surprised me, too! I thought I saw some rockin' outfits, and when I got closer, it was you two!
Ryuki	I was guided here because I felt some passionate souls in the area! Guess we stars tend to gravitate toward each other!
Piers	I've heard both of your music, an' I must say— Huh?
Ace Trainer	Look, it's Piers, Roxie, and Ryuki! Could it be...they're going to play some songs?
Street Thug	Let's get a closer look!
(A crowd forms around Piers, Roxie, and Ryuki)
Piers	I wasn't planning on singing, but looks like people are raring to go...
Roxie	I'm down for a jam session! Let's give 'em what they want!
Ryuki	Yeah! Sometimes you just gotta roll with it, you know? Take a look at that, Piers. Your partner's ready to go, too. We're set to rock this joint!
Piers	*sigh* You too, Obstagoon? I s'ppose coincidences like this don't happen every day. All right, then. Let's give everyone a song to commemorate the occasion! After all...the only thing humble singers like us can do is continue singing our humble songs.

• Champion Taste

Name	Text
(Mountain)
Lance	Leon, I think that capes should be more simple!
Leon	Really? I like what's going on with mine, though.
Lance	When you're the Champion and greet new challengers with a swoosh of your cape... I understand that the details of your cape speak volumes about who you are. But for me, the simplicity of my cape helps me stand out more!
Leon	I see! I never thought of it that way. I view my cape as a reminder of all the people who are cheering for me.
Steven	Lance, I do get what you say. Sometimes, simple is best. But other times, being in the center of a busy piece makes the main subject stand out even more! That's why I think that cape is great on Leon!
Leon	Thanks, Steven!
Lance	Now that you mention it, I do see that! It's almost as if it embodies the weight of all of Galar resting on his shoulders! It's unique! But also...I didn't realize you knew so much about capes, Steven.
Steven	Well, I was just thinking about my philosophy on rocks. But I think preference and personal style apply to capes, too.
Leon	I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean, but...I think I kind of get it! You two both have your own kind of champion time!

• How to Smile

Name	Text
(Beach)
Gladion	So the problem is that you want to smile better to thank everyone cheering for you but aren't sure how?
Marnie	Yeah. You have that Battle Royal thing in Alola, right? I hear there are a lot of people who come to watch those battles, so I was wondering if you had any tips on how to smile right.
Gladion	Well...I'm not sure if I'm the right person to help you with something like that. Hau, what about you? You'd be able to give her a few tips, right?
Hau	Huh? I don't think there's really any trick to it. Oh, but now that you mention it...I can't help but smile when I start to think about going on the island challenge together with everyone!
Marnie	The island challenge?
Hau	Yeah! We go from island to island in the Alola region to take on a bunch of trials!
Marnie	Hmm... I guess it must be kind of like a Gym Challenge.
Hau	I remember when we first met, Gladion always had a really scary look on his face!
Gladion	Hmph. No idea what you're talking about.
Hau	It was a lot of work—but loads of fun!
Marnie	A lot of hard work, huh...
Hau	Ah! You just smiled! What were you thinking of just now?
Marnie	Um...it's kind of a secret.
Hau	Aw, really?
Marnie	But thanks! I think I've got the hang of it now.

• Adventures with Eevee

Name	Text
(Mountain)
Leaf	That's amazing! So the Wild Area is just a huge expanse of land!
Gloria	Yeah! If you look at a map of Galar, it's slap-bang in the middle and spreads out really far from north to south! The weather there changes frequently, so I'd often camp out there with my Pokémon to take breaks while out exploring!
May	That sounds like so much fun! I wonder what kind of Pokémon live there! I definitely wanna go there someday!
Gloria	You know, all that talk about camping and then seeing Eevee here just reminded me of something! During the Gym Challenge, I once camped out with another adventurer who had Eevee and all of its Evolutions!
Leaf	Really?! Eevee?!
Gloria	We played with all the Pokémon, and they were all so fluffy and cute!
Leaf	Oh, that must have been so nice!
May	They were fluffy? Awww!
Gloria	There are Poké Kids in Galar who dress up like Eevee... And now whenever I see them, I think I understand why they just wanna become Eevee!

• Partners Forever

Name	Text
(Forest)
Rosa	Oh, so it was you who originally caught that Morpeko for Marnie?
Piers	Yeah. As her brother, I'm so glad it looks like it's shaped up to be a good partner.
Rosa	... ... ...
Marnie	What's wrong? You look a bit sad.
Rosa	Sorry. I was just thinking about something that happened to a neighbor of mine. His younger sister had a Pokémon that she really loved, and it was given to her by their grandpa. But then, this group that called itself Team Plasma came and stole it.
Marnie	That's awful.
Rosa	So her brother went out and did his best to get that Pokémon back for her. But by the time they found it again, it had forgotten all about her. But she was still really happy to see her Pokémon again.
Marnie	That must've been hard... But y'know what? I bet it'll all be OK in the end! It's her one and only partner we're talking about! I'm sure they'll be back to being best friends in no time.
Rosa	Yeah, I'm sure they will!
Marnie	What's wrong, Big Bro?
Piers	I was thinking that if anything ever happened that separated you and Morpeko...
Marnie	Oh come on—crying about it won't help anything.

• Marnie's Cheering Squad

Name	Text
(Town)
Lisia	Thanks a bunch, everyone! Thank you for all of your support!
Gloria	Wow, you're so popular with the crowd! No wonder they call you Miraculous Lisia.
Lisia	Oh, hey there! Gloria, Marnie! You came here, too?
Marnie	All that cheering from your fans was amazing. It reminded me a lot of my hometown.
Lisia	Cheering made you think of home? Were you an idol, Marnie?
Marnie	No, it's not that. There's a group there called Team Yell that would help cheer for me.
Gloria	They used horns and banners to cheer her on!
Lisia	Horns and banners? Like, fan merchandise?! That's amazing! I wanna try cheering like that, too! I know! How about I cheer for you at your next match, Marnie?
Marnie	Sure! But you'd better be on top of your game! If you're not one hundred percent into it, your voice might not be heard!
Gloria	Let's practice it all together! Marnie, could you teach us how to cheer?
Marnie	Yeah. I'll teach you some of the cheers Team Yell are so proud of!

• Taught by the Best

Name	Text
(Beach)
Leon	You two really are strong! I bet it's because of the experience you've built up battling so many Trainers!
Ramos	Heheheh. Flattery will only make me blush, sonny! You did a fine job, too! It's not often a Trainer becomes that strong at your age! You were like a magnificent tree with its roots firmly planted into the ground. It was an excellent battle.
Pryce	Yes, you showed us a marvelous battle. It takes more than just your average hard work to get that strong. Could it be you had a very strong teacher guiding you?
Leon	Oh, absolutely! My teacher had a strong passion that rivals yours!
Ramos	Is that so? If that's the case, I'd love to battle them someday.
Leon	I'm sure he'd love to battle you, too! What a sight it would be to see you battling my teacher! I'd love that! And if possible, I'd also like in on the fun!
Pryce	Sure! When the time comes, I will greet you with a power even more refined than today's!
Leon	I look forward to that!
