| Lillie | Let's have the best day! |
| Lillie | I've made so many memories on Pasio...but I'm not satisfied yet! I'm going to make today the most wonderful day ever! Are you ready to liven up the festival, <player>? |
- Lillie's New Outfit
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| (Lear stands in the center of the Pasio arena) | |
| Lear | Listen well, sync pairs! My grand festival to celebrate Pasio's growth begins now! I have prepared a lavish venue and a wide array of events! Enjoy everything to the fullest! Hahahahaha! |
| (Lillie, Gladion, and Lusamine watch Lear from the grass; Gladion and Lusamine are wearing their sygna suits, while Lillie is wearing her 2024 anniversary outfit) | |
| Gladion | Lear's in a REALLY good mood today, isn't he? |
| Lillie | He has a lot to be happy about, I guess! After all, so many people and Pokémon have come to Pasio, and it's livelier than ever! I've been looking forward to this too! |
| Lusamine | *chuckle* You've even updated your outfit, haven't you? |
| Lillie | Yes! I'm ready to go all out and enjoy the festival! |
| Gladion | Heh, seeing you so excited about it is getting me excited, too. |
| Lillie | Why don't we all enjoy the festival together? |
| Lusamine | That would be lovely, dear... But don't you and Gladion have friends you want to share this experience with? I'm sure they are anxious to see you. |
| Gladion | Yeah... I guess I could go see them first. |
| Lillie | You're right, mother. I would love to enjoy the festival with the both of you... but I want to catch up with everyone on Pasio too. There's just too many things I want to do! Let's hurry, Gladion! |
| (Lillie and Gladion leave) | |
| Lusamine | *chuckle* Go ahead and have fun, children. |
- Let's Go All Out and Enjoy!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| (Town; Mallow, Bea, Dawn, Marnie, Victor, Candice, Serena, and Elesa are gathered around a cart, all wearing their Palentine's outfits; Lillie approaches them) | |
| Lillie | Excuse me! I'd like one of your sweets, please! |
| Mallow | Sure! Coming right up! |
| Dawn | Oh, are you on your own, Lillie? |
| Marnie | Weren't you with Gladion and the others? |
| Lillie | Well... I was, until just a while ago... Everyone went off to watch Gladion have a Pokémon battle with Hau. But I caught the smell of something sweet and followed it here! |
| Bea | Quite understandable. I can relate. |
| Victor | Haha, your hunger beat your desire to battle. |
| Elesa | You just can't help giving in when something smells this delicious! |
| Serena | That's so true! |
| Lillie | By the way, all of you helped make these sweets, right? |
| Victor | Yeah! I'm confident of the smell and taste! |
| (Candice walks out from behind the cart) | |
| Candice | And here you are! Our special dessert is ready! |
| Lillie | Wow! Thank you so much! |
| (Iono approaches the cart) | |
| ??? | Oooh, what have we here? What's up with this huge line? |
| (Iono turns to the camera) | |
| Iono | I'm countin' on you to review this shop, Rosa! |
| Rosa | Sure! Leave it to me! |
| (Rosa, wearing her special costume, approaches Lillie with Iono) | |
| Lillie | Umm... What's going on? |
| Iono | Festivals get viewer numbers exploding! It'd be a waste to NOT share the hype with all of our friendos outside of Pasio! C'mon, smile! You're bein' broadcast live to the whole world! |
| Lillie | Whaaa?! |
| ??? | Let's end this! Go! |
| (Lillie, Rosa, and Iono all look in the direction of the voice) | |
| Iono | Hm? What's goin' on over there? |
| Rosa | Maybe it's a Pokémon battle?! |
| Lillie | A battle? Maybe it's the one my brother went to? |
| (Lillie arrives in the square with the fountain, where Cynthia, Steven, and Lance are waiting) | |
| Cynthia | We're still ready and eager to battle any and all challengers! |
| Steven | We want everyone to have fun battling us today, instead of focusing on winning. |
| Lance | Exactly! After all, it's a festival! Let's all enjoy a long, full day of Pokémon battles! |
| Lillie | Oh, it's Cynthia and the other Champions. Battling them must take a lot of courage... |
| ??? | What, nobody's gonna step up? |
| (Blue, Leaf, and Red appear; Red is wearing his sygna suit) | |
| Blue | Then it's up to us! |
| Lance | It seems we have our next opponent... |
| Steven | I guess we'll have to go all out. |
| Cynthia | Indeed! To live our lives to the fullest, we must battle against the fiercest opposition! |
| (Steven, Cynthia, and Lance transform into their arc suits) | |
| Lillie | So those are arc suits! They shine so brightly... |
| Hilda | Look at their outfits! Are you seeing this, Nemona?! |
| Nemona | Yup! I can tell they're sooo much stronger now! Their power's making my skin tingle! Aw, man! We could've been the ones battling them if we just got here a little sooner! |
| Hilda | We can just take them on next! Though we need one more sync pair to make a team... |
| (Hilda and Nemona turn to look at Lillie, then run up on either side of her) | |
| Nemona | You should battle with us! |
| Hilda | Join us! We'll all work together and beat the Champion arc suit team! |
| Lillie | Huh?! |
| (Lunala comes out of its Poké Ball) | |
| Hilda | Looks like your partner Pokémon is ready to go! |
| Lillie | Lunala?! O-OK! I'll do what I can... and battle at full power! |
- I Wish It Could Last Forever
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| (Lillie stands with Lunala in a different part of town) | |
| Lillie | Phew... That battle was so nerve-racking... You're getting a little too excited, Lunala! Though I suppose I did have fun, thanks to you! |
| (Lunala cries out happily) | |
| Lillie | I'm so tired from all that battling. Let's rest a little. |
| (Cheerful music starts to play and Lillie goes to investigate; Irida, Dahlia, Fantina, Adaman, Tierno, and Kiawe are dancing on a stage while Piers, Roxie, and Ryuki sing; Irida and Adaman are wearing their special costumes while Piers and Roxie are wearing their sygna suits) | |
| Lillie | What a wonderful performance! |
| N | I agree. Their music and dancing sure are impressive. |
| (Lillie is shocked to see N, who is wearing his anniversary outfit) | |
| Lillie | Oh, N?! |
| N | It's resonating not just in my eyes and ears, but also in my heart. Music is a beautiful formula. |
| Lillie | I don't really understand anything that complicated...but I do think music is a lot of fun! It makes me wish that these fun times could last forever... |
| (Lunala looks pensive; transition to all the performers gathered on the ground after the performance) | |
| Roxie | Aww, yeah! We combined our music and dance perfectly, don'tcha think? |
| Tierno | Definitely! Dancing to live music felt so amazing! |
| Irida | I'd like to do it again if we have a chance! |
| (Lillie approaches them, looking worried) | |
| Lillie | Um, excuse me! Has anyone seen Lunala? |
| Piers | I haven't. Did something happen? |
| Lillie | Lunala went off somewhere while I was watching your performance! |
| Dahlia | Oh, dear! |
| Fantina | How horrible! |
| Kiawe | A lost Pokémon, eh? Let's help find it! |
| Roxie | All right, let's go— Wait a second... |
| Ryuki | Isn't that Lunala coming towards us? |
| Lillie | What? |
| (Lillie turns around to see Lunala approaching her) | |
| Lillie | Lunala! Hey! Where have you been? |
| Adaman | Now, now... It came back safe, so no harm done. |
| Irida | I'm sure it just got overexcited because of the festival! |
| Lillie | M-maybe... Sorry for the hassle, everyone. |
| Piers | Please don't worry about it. We're just glad nothin' happened. |
| Adaman | Anyway... They say time flies when you're having fun, but today seems to be an exception! |
| Fantina | We danced so much, I can't believe it's still bright outside! |
| (Roxie consults her Poryphone) | |
| Roxie | If we're on schedule, the time should be around... What th—?! It's THAT late?! The sun should've set by now! |
| Irida | Wh-what's going on?! |
| Lillie | Remember when the sky went dark because Necrozma came to Pasio and absorbed all the light? Maybe this was also caused by a powerful Pokémon... Like one that can make the darkest of nights light up like midday... |
| (Lillie realizes something) | |
| Lillie | Lunala, did you...? |
| (Lunala cries out cheerfully) | |
- The Sun and Moon Will Rise and Set
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| (Lillie and Lunala arrive on a mountain, where they find a wild Solgaleo) | |
| Lillie | Just as I thought! Solgaleo! |
| Lusamine | When you called me for help, Lillie, I certainly wasn't expecting this. They say the intense light Solgaleo radiates from its body can make the darkest of nights as bright as midday... That power must be the reason why night won't fall. |
| (Solgaleo cries out) | |
| N | It says it feels uneasy because it someone suddenly brought it here. It's confused, and that's why it's emitting light. |
| Lillie | This might be my fault... |
| Lusamine | Hm? |
| Lillie | I think Lunala brought it here for me... because I said I wanted the festival to last forever. |
| Lusamine | It just wanted to make to make you happy, Lillie. I understand that Lunala is known to occasionally summon unknown life-forms from other worlds. |
| (Lunala cries out) | |
| N | That checks out. Lunala is saying it was the one who brought Solgaleo here. |
| Lillie | Oh, Lunala... It makes me happy that you wanted to make my wish come true. But if today doesn't end, a new tomorrow can never begin! |
| (Lunala cries out nervously) | |
| Lillie | We should start by calming you down, Solgaleo. And after that...let's enjoy what little we have left of today! |
| (Solgaleo cries out quietly; transition to nighttime at the top of the mountain; Lillie, Lunala, and Solgaleo are facing a group including several of the sync pairs Lillie met throughout the day) | |
| Lillie | Sorry for all the trouble, everyone! |
| Lear | It caused a little commotion, but it seems the situation has been dealt with. As such, I will overlook the trouble caused by this incident. |
| Lillie | Thank you very much, Lear! |
| Lear | Though I am surprised you managed to partner with Solgaleo. |
| Lillie | N said that Solgaleo seems to like Pasio... and since it became friends with Lunala, it decided to stay! |
| Lear | I see. Excellent! |
| Lillie | But it's already so late, and the festival will be over soon... |
| Lear | What are you talking about? This festival isn't over yet! Wallace! Lisia! Are you ready? |
| (Wallace and Lisia appear with Blacephalon, wearing their New Year's outfits) | |
| Lisia | Yup yup! I'm ready any time! |
| Wallace | Let's light up the night sky with a colorful illusion! |
| (Blacephalon launches its head in the air, and a fireworks show begins; everyone watches it in awe) | |
| Lillie | It's very sad that today is coming to an end... but if the night hadn't come, I wouldn't be able to see such beautiful fireworks. The sun and moon will keep rising and setting... When one day ends, a new day begins... So let's all work together to keep making each tomorrow the best day ever! |
| (Lunala and Solgaleo cry out) | |
