Masters of Land and Sea (Japanese: 海と陸の王者！ Kings of Sea and Land!) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Archie & Kyogre and Maxie & Groudon. It also marked the debut of Courtney, Tabitha, Shelly, and Matt as NPCs.

During this event, 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 Daily Extreme Battle 1 and Daily Extreme Battle 2, which could each 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, 5★ Scout Tickets, Power-Up items, Skill Spheres, and two Strike Move Candy Coins. Extra Prize Coins were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The player could battle using Archie & Kyogre or Maxie & Groudon to obtain 0.6× bonus Prize Coins; May & Mudkip/Marshtomp/Swampert or Wallace & Milotic to obtain 0.4× bonus Prize Coins; and Flannery & Torkoal or Norman & Slaking to obtain 0.2× bonus Prize Coins.

This event featured the Battle Challenge, where players were challenged to defeat a team of strong opponents. Players could complete event missions by clearing these areas with teams using various theme skills, earning medals and other rewards.

In addition, players could earn a medal for completing all the story areas in the event.

The special events Weather Alert and Land and Sea Awaken were preludes to this event.

Brendan	This sure escalated quickly, huh...
Brendan	The super-ancient Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre...
May	They're both extremely powerful, if I remember right. Come on! Let's go check it out!

Super-Ancient Pokémon Spotted!

Name	Text
(Kyogre appears in the cave)
May	Wow! Is that Pokémon what I think it is?
(Groudon appears in the volcano)
Brendan	Whoa! That's so cool! Wait, this isn't what I came here for! I have to get back to the Pokémon Center and let Trista know what's going on!
(Pokémon Center)
Trista	Hello! I've just received some important information from May and Brendan.
May	You're not gonna believe this, but I saw Kyogre!
Brendan	And I found Groudon! Since they're both Legendary Pokémon, we thought it best to come here quick and report what we saw before it's too late!
Trista	We're not sure what caused these two Legendary Pokémon to appear, so we're requesting an official survey of where they were spotted. We'd like to confirm what's going on and make sure those areas are safe. I apologize for the inconvenience, but as a safety precaution, please avoid visiting the beach and volcano areas.
May	Aw man! So we can't go back?
Brendan	I hope it doesn't take too long for them to figure out if it's safe or not...
May	I know! If all they need is someone to sneak over and check things out, we could probably do that ourselves!
Brendan	Good idea! Hey, why don't you join us, <player>?
May	Yeah! I'd feel a lot better if you came with us, <player>!

A Creeping Crisis

Name	Text
(Beach)
Archie	Thanks for the tip, kiddo! Say, why aren't you scared of me? Little scamps like you usually run away the moment they see my face...
Preschooler	You don't look scary to me! And my mommy says that if someone says thank you, that means they're a good person!
Archie	I see! Your mom sure knows what's what, kiddo! Hm? And who are you? That's quite a fierce expression for such a wee little scamp! You're not runnin' away scared, either... There sure are some oddballs here on Pasio! The name's Archie. I run an organization called Team Aqua. Basically, we're a group of environmentalists focused on protectin' the ocean! Lemme ask you something—what do you think of Pasio? The ocean here is pretty!: Tch... You don't get it, do you. It's full of nature!: Tch... You call this nature? Lemme tell you somethin', kiddo. The ocean is an irreplaceable treasure for every livin' thing on this planet. But just look at this travesty! Humans caused massive damage to the ocean to make this artificial island, all to satisfy their selfish egos! We of Team Aqua work for the sake of all Pokémon of the sea! Our mission is to return nature and the ocean back to their unspoiled origins! Pasio is no exception! This island makes me sick. I'd smash it to pieces if I could. Don't do that!: If the ocean had feelings, I'm sure it'd feel the same way about this island bein' plopped on top of it. Don't blame Pasio!: But what did the ocean ever do to anyone? Why's it gotta put up with havin' this island plopped on top of it? Well, it's all moot anyway. I just got a tip that Kyogre was spotted on this island. With its power, I can carry out my plan to sink Pasio into the ocean! This is my chance to make Kyogre's power mine... You better not get in my way!
(Transition Brendan, May, and Maxie at the volcano)
Maxie	Very interesting. So this Lear individual is the creator of Pasio. Intriguing. I'd like to meet him.
Brendan	I guess that's fine, but you better promise me you won't do anything bad on Pasio! We have enough to deal with since Groudon showed up.
Maxie	Hm? Groudon is here, you say?
Brendan	Wait, were you planning to capture him all along?!
Maxie	chuckle I understand now... You think I'm some ruthless villain. I'm the leader of Team Magma, an organization dedicated to finding paths upon which humanity may stride freely forward and evolve. We need Groudon's power to achieve our ideal world! Of course, I don't intend to take anything by force.
Brendan	Oh, it's <player>. Wait, what?! Archie's gonna use Kyogre to sink Pasio into the ocean?!
Maxie	That fool... He's always coming up with these outrageous ideas.
Brendan	OK! I'll see you soon!
Maxie	I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. Archie's here on Pasio, isn't he. If so, we'll need to formulate a solid strategy to stop him.
Brendan	Wait, you're gonna help us?
Maxie	Well, we can't let him sink the island, can we?
Brendan	Fine... You can help us out. But don't you dare do anything shady, got it?!
Maxie	Of course. You have my word.

Stop Archie!

Name	Text
(Beach)
May	All right, Maxie. You have a plan to stop Archie?
Maxie	That's correct. Specifically, we have to prevent Archie from making contact with Kyogre. But just in case, I'll approach Groudon in the meantime and get it to join our side.
May	If we do end up battling Kyogre, it's true that Groudon would be our best chance at beating it...but I'm still a little worried. Brendan, do you think we can do it?
Brendan	I understand your concern, May. But if we don't stop him, it's going to be a disaster. I can't just give up and watch that happen!
May	You're right, Brendan... OK! You can count on me, too!
Maxie	So we're all on the same page? Then it's time to execute our plan.
Brendan	Hold on a second! If Maxie's going to Groudon, what should the rest of us do?
Maxie	Brendan—that's your name, isn't it? Why don't you come with me. You're the one who knows where Groudon is, right?
May	In that case, <player> and I should try to find Archie... and stop him from capturing Kyogre! Both parts of our plan are gonna be tough, but we have to do our best to protect Pasio!
(Transition to Archie finding Kyogre)
Archie	How can they call this island nature? It's nothin' but a blob of human greed! Whaddya think, Kyogre?! Wanna help me plunge Pasio into the briny deep?! Together, you and I are gonna make this sullied ocean pristine again! Archie, stop!: Hm? Oh, it's you again. Kyogre, don't do it!: Who said that?! Oh, it's you again. Doesn't look like you came here to help me out.
May	You can't just sink Pasio into the ocean!
Archie	Of course I can, kiddo! What, it's OK to pollute the ocean, but sinking an island is where the line's drawn? Why don't you explain that? It's the same thing, isn't it?!
May	It's not the same! Pasio may be artificial... but people and Pokémon live on it just like any other natural island! This island is full of life!
Archie	Full of life, huh? You might have a point there. But what about all the living creatures that lost their homes because of this island? Building Pasio damaged the nature surrounding it! How can you say that's OK?
May	It's not OK! I never said it was!
Archie	Wh-what?!
May	Oh no... Kyogre's going to attack! Archie, get away from there!
(Transition to Brendan and Maxie at the volcano)
Brendan	Maxie, do you know how you're gonna get Groudon to come with us?
Maxie	I suppose the only way is to defeat it in battle.
Brendan	Wait, we have to battle Groudon?
Maxie	Sometimes, a bit of force is necessary in order to get things done. But I understand why you're so surprised. It will be dangerous after all. Do you want to turn back now? I won't hold it against you if you do.
Brendan	Of course not! I'm staying!
Maxie	Hmph. If only we had a little more time, I could have come up with a more efficient solution, but we just have to work with what we have.
Brendan	I don't mind! And I'll do what I can to save Pasio! Even if it means I have to battle Groudon! I may not look it, but I'm pretty strong! Leave the battling to me!

Maxie's Objective

Name	Text
Brendan	This is where I spotted Groudon.
Maxie	Hmm...
(Groudon appears)
Brendan	Whoa! What the—
Maxie	Mightyena, protect that boy!
Brendan	Treecko! Cover Mightyena and corner Groudon!
Maxie	Face me, you beast! I'll have you join me, Groudon! To protect the land...and fulfill my ambitions!
(Kyogre cries)
Maxie	Wait, I know that cry! Sounds like we may be too late.
(Transition to Archie battling May and the player)
May	They're so strong! At this rate, even <player> is gonna get pushed back...
Archie	Bwahahahahahaha! Bwaha! AHAHAHAHAHA! That's it, Kyogre! Sink this island to the bottom of the ocean! Wh-what?!
(Groudon appears)
May	Is that...Groudon?!
(Groudon and Kyogre fight)
May	Eeeek! May, are you OK?: Yeah, I'm fine! But we need to stop them! May, this way!: Thanks! But we have to stop those two!
Archie	Hahaha! Yes! Keep it up! Sink Pasio into the ocean! Get outta here! The ocean will rise and swallow everything up! Hm? That little scamp...
May	Oh no! That little girl is in danger!
(Archie protects the Preschooler)
Archie	Tch. Of all the—
Maxie	What on earth are you doing? There's no consistency to your actions. How do you expect your subordinates to ever respect you as their leader?
(Brendan and Maxie appear)
Archie	Maxie?! What are you doing here?!
Maxie	Hmph. We can save the chitchat for later. Right now, our first priority is stopping those two.
Preschooler	Um... Mister?
Archie	Tch... Fine! Hey, you little scamps! Take care of this kid! Get her to safer ground! Let's go, Sharpedo! We're gonna stop Kyogre and Groudon!

Aqua and Magma Unite!

Name	Text
Archie	C'mon, Maxie! Don't you dare hold me back!
Maxie	I could say the same to you.
(Archie and Maxie battle Groudon and Kyogre)
Maxie	They're strong... I suppose they aren't called super-ancient Legendary Pokémon just for show.
Brendan	We'll help you out!
May	We got that little girl to a safe place! She's OK!
Archie	Good. Thanks for doing that. Now I can finally cut loose! I appreciate it, scamps.
Maxie	It pains me to even suggest this, but allow me to distract them. Use that opportunity to stop at least one of them. I'm sure you can handle that, Archie.
Archie	What're you actin' all high and mighty for! Just shut up and watch me!
Maxie	Annoying and boisterous as ever...
(Groudon and Kyogre are weakened)
Maxie	There, they stopped moving... Do it!
Archie	Go get em', scamps!
Brendan	Brendan! May!: We got this! Don't fall behind, May!
May	Brendan! May!: Don't worry! We're going all-out to save Pasio! Here we go!: Let's do it, Brendan!
Brendan	Here we go!: Yeah! Here comes our full-force attack! These super-ancient Pokémon won't know what hit 'em!
(Brendan, May, and the player battle Groudon and Kyogre, Groudon and Kyogre calm down)
Brendan	Whew! They finally stopped...
May	I wonder why they were so upset in the first place.
Maxie	This is just my own hypothesis... but perhaps these super-ancient Pokémon were somehow influenced by us.
Archie	Wait, are you sayin' it's my fault?
Maxie	Not just yours. I'd say the fault lies equally with us both. After all, we came here from another region, didn't we? And Groudon and Kyogre are also from that region. They never existed on Pasio to begin with. Isn't that right?
Brendan	Yeah, because there aren't any wild Pokémon on Pasio in the first place.
Archie	What's your point? Are you sayin' Groudon and Kyogre came here because of us? That doesn't explain why they were rampaging!
May	Um... I think maybe they just felt overwhelmed. If I were them, I'd be really scared to suddenly find myself in a strange, new place, too.
Archie	Hah! That's pretty pathetic for a couple of super-ancient Legendary Pokémon!
Maxie	Well, this is all conjecture, of course.
Archie	But if they were raging because of us... then we've gotta take responsibility for that, don't we?! I'm sorry, Kyogre! I get it! You were freakin' out over bein' in some new place you didn't recognize! But that battle we just had showed you that we make a good team, right? Why don't I take care of you until we can head back home?
May	Wait, that means...
Archie	Yeah, I'll stop trying to sink Pasio into the ocean.
Maxie	Well...I can't say this was part of the plan, but if you find me worthy of being your partner, I won't stop you from joining me.
Brendan	So...I guess that's the end of that, then?
May	Yup! Looks like it!
Brendan	I really hope so... You two better not do anything else extreme just to fulfill your ambitions, got it?!
May	I'm so glad Pasio is safe!: Me too! We should head back and let everyone know it's safe! Let's report to Trista!: Sounds like a plan! The sooner we let everyone know they're safe, the better!
(Transition to night)
(Matt and Shelly appear)
Archie	Oh, NOW you two show up?!
(Courtney and Tabitha appear)
Maxie	Hmph. I can't believe you came after the situation was already resolved. How embarrassing... Now that the administrators of our respective organizations are here on Pasio, I suppose that means...
Archie	We can't keep playin' nice together on Pasio anymore, huh? Eh, that's more our style anyway! Don't you think so, too, Maxie-boy?
Maxie	Hmph. I hate to admit it, but I do agree. Even if it was just temporary, I suppose it wasn't so bad teaming up with you.
Archie	Hey, that's my line!
(The admins challenge each other)
Archie	Whoa, hold your Horsea. No battlin' without me orderin' it, all right? We can save it for next time! Now that your crew's all here, we can battle as much as we want!
Maxie	Agreed. Let's call a short truce...for now, at least.
