Leaders of a New Era (Japanese: 次代を作るふたつの軸 Two Axes for the Next Generation) was a Neo Champions event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pairs Serena (Champion) & Greninja and Calem (Champion) & Greninja.

During this event, players could earn event vouchers from battles that could be redeemed in the shop. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

The player could battle using Serena (Champion) & Greninja or Calem (Champion) & Greninja to obtain +0.6× bonus vouchers; Diantha & Gardevoir, Alder & Volcarona, or Jasmine & Steelix to obtain +0.4× bonus vouchers; and Acerola & Palossand or any unlisted Kalos sync pairs to obtain +0.2× bonus vouchers.

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.

First run

The event first ran from November 30 to December 19, 2022. The "Serena Master Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Serena (Champion) & Greninja from the beginning of the event to January 9, 2023, and the "Calem Master Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Calem (Champion) & Greninja from December 1, 2022, to January 9, 2023.

In this run, the type of voucher that players could earn was Event Voucher M. Event mission rewards included medals, Gems, Battle Points, a Strike Move Candy Coin, and a Tech Move Candy Coin.

For the duration of the event, a splash screen featuring art of Serena (Champion) & Greninja and Calem (Champion) & Greninja was displayed when opening the game.

Second run

The event reran from March 5 to 19, 2024. The Grass-type weak Pasio Special Stadium, featuring Serena (Champion) & Greninja, reran alongside it.

In this run, the type of voucher that players could earn was Event Voucher O. Event mission rewards were changed to include only medals and Gems.

Plot

Serena and Calem rescue a couple of sync pairs who are being harassed by Team Break with their partner Pokémon, Greninja and Shiny Greninja. The sync pairs are discouraged that they couldn't defeat Team Break on their own, but Serena delivers a rousing speech that encourages them to not give up. Lear, having witnessed the incident, congratulates them on a job well done and invites them to get ready for a new event that he's starting that will be perfect for sync pairs like them. As Serena wonders what the event could be, Calem contemplates the fact that Serena was the one who encouraged the Trainers while he just helped fight Team Break, and he wonders if he's worthy of being her rival.

Later, Serena and Calem are summoned to Lear's villa, where they find not only Lear waiting for them but also all the Champions on PasioLance, Steven, Cynthia, Alder, Iris, Diantha, and Leon. He invites them to participate in the Neo Champion Stadium, a new tournament designed to support the idea that the truly mighty are not only strong, but also set an example for others. The Champions explain that in a Neo Champion Stadium tournament, one Champion will be chosen as the head judge who decides the judging criteria of that tournament, while the other Champions are secondary judges who help evaluate participants based on the head judge's criteria. A participant will be judged not only on their skills in battle, but also by their actions. There will be multiple tournaments held, each with different judging criteria, and more than one person can qualify as a Neo Champion in each tournament. For the first tournament, Diantha will be the head judge, and she invites Calem and Serena to participate. They happily accept, and Calem vows to defeat Serena and become the first Neo Champion of Pasio.

However, after leaving Lear's villa, Calem realizes that he'll never be able to beat Serena if he trains the same way he's always done. Fortunately, Alder shows up and offers to help him train for the tournament. Meanwhile, Serena is training with Cynthia for the tournament. Cynthia asks her about her rivalry with Calem, and Serena explains that she's really fired up to beat him. Then, Jasmine shows up to help Serena with her training.

Alder and Calem begin their training, and Alder asks Calem what his motivation is to participate in the tournament. Calem says that he wants to become Champion, but more than that, he wants to defeat Serena, since he's never beaten her before and he views her as his true rival. Alder then asks him what he thinks the meaning of the Neo Champion Stadium is, to which he guesses that it means that it's better to have more Trainers who can be an example to others. Alder says that there's more to it than that, and explains how he once lost to a Trainer with true convictions, and that Trainer was then beaten by another Trainer with true convictions, and both of them were true heroes. He says that none of their convictions were better than the others, and he believes that this tournament will allow people with different convictions to compete with each other and give courage to those watching. Calem says that those words resonate with him because he used to always compare himself to others, but now that doesn't matter—he just wants to battle Serena with his true feelings and win. Alder is pleased with this response, and invites Acerola to come out and help Calem for the next stage of his training.

When the day of the tournament arrives, Diantha introduces the tournament and says that her judging criteria is how participants shine as a sync pair. Serena and Calem battle their way through the tournament, ultimately facing off against each other in the finals. After a tense battle, Calem manages to defeat Serena, and she acknowledges his skill as her rival. Diantha says that both of them shone brilliantly, and she wants to award the title of Neo Champion to both of them. Serena is shocked because she lost, but Calem encourages her to accept it because he couldn't have gotten here without her rivalry. So, at the end of the day, Lear presents both Calem and Serena in their Neo Champion outfits as the new Neo Champions of Pasio.

Calem That's enough of you all running wild.
Masked Man Heh, another chump shows up.
You'd better get ready to hand over your Pokémon!

Calem But there's no point being sad, right?
As long as you train so you don't lose next time—
Serena It'll all be OK!
You're not alone! You have a lot of friends here on Pasio who are by your side!
Let's all get stronger together, along with our precious partner Pokémon!
Rising Star Stronger together...
Ace Trainer Instead of fighting alone, I can get stronger by battling alongside my partner and the people around me...
Serena Yeah! We're all in this together!
Ace Trainer O-OK!
Rising Star We can do it!
??? Well done!
(Lear appears as Rachel and Sawyer apprehend Team Break)
Lear You encouraged those heart-stricken Trainers and got them back on their feet. Color me impressed.
I'm preparing an event that's perfect for sync pairs like you two, so be prepared!
Sawyer Young master, let's take these Team Break members away before they act out again.
Lear Yes, let's.
(Lear leaves)
Serena An event that's perfect for us?
I wonder what it could be!
Calem (Serena was the one who gave those discouraged Trainers hope...)
(She's not just strong in battle. She has that spark in her heart.)
(But what do I have?)
(Am I a Trainer worthy of being her rival?)

(Beach; Calem is looking out at the sea with his Greninja)
Calem Do you want to beat Serena?
I feel the same.
Because to me, Serena is—
Serena There you are, Calem!
(Serena appears with her Greninja)
Serena Lear said he has something he wants to tell us!
Calem OK, let's go together.
(Calem and Serena arrive in Lear's villa; Lear is gathered with Lance, Steven, Cynthia, Iris, Alder, Diantha, and Leon)
Lear Let me tell you why I summoned you both here!
I would like to invite you to participate in the Neo Champion Stadium!
Serena Neo...Champion Stadium?
Calem Is it different from the Champion Stadium we've had up to now?
Lear The truly mighty are not only strong—they also serve as an example for everyone else to measure up against.
To spread this idea, I'm looking for sync pairs that instill hope in others...
Thus, I'm hosting a tournament to decide who to crown the Neo Champion of Pasio!
The Champions here will give you the finer details.
Lance Sure.
Let me start by explaining our position.
In this tournament, we, the Champions from each region, will be participating as judges, not competitors.
For each tournament, one of us will be chosen as the head judge who decides the judging criteria of that tournament.
Serena Each tournament... That means there'll be more than one tournament to decide a champion?
Steven Precisely.
The tournament will be held again and again with different judging criteria.
We, the judges, will discuss amongst ourselves who has met our criteria for each tournament...
and award the title Neo Champion of Pasio to those who've shown they qualify.
Leon Just because you're good at Pokémon battling doesn't mean you'll become the champion!
You'll have to show us that your actions are befitting of the champion title by meeting the judging criteria!
Cynthia Unlike the Champions of the Pokémon League or PML...
"Neo Champion" is a title for a Trainer who acts as an example of what everyone should measure up to.
Which means more than one person could qualify.
(Serena is shocked)
Iris Basically, anyone has a chance to be a champion!
(Alder chuckles)
Lear Now listen...
For this monumental first tournament, the head judge will be Diantha, the Champion of the Kalos region.
Diantha I wanted to see the two of you shine, so I made sure you both were invited.
So how about it? Will you take part in this tournament?
Serena Of course I will!
Calem Me too.
It's also a good chance to settle things with Serena...
Serena... I'm going to beat you and become the Neo Champion of Pasio.
I'll see you in the finals!
Serena Of course! I'll be looking forward to it!
(Calem and Serena smile at each other, and all the Champions and Lear chuckle)
Alder Now then...

(Town)
Calem I know I talked the talk, but with my usual training, I won't be able to beat Serena...
??? Hello there, young boy from Kalos.
(Alder waves and approaches Calem)
Alder You seem like you're very fired up.
Would you like to train with me?
Calem Are you sure? Is it OK for a judge to help out a participant?
Alder Oh, it's not a problem at all.
I was only there as the advisor for the current Unova Champion, Iris.
I'm slightly different from the other judges.
Calem But why would you help me?
Alder Why, I just saw some youngsters with fighting spirit burning in their hearts, and I got a bit fired up myself!
Looks like your partner Pokémon's up for it!
(Calem's Greninja lets itself out of its Poké Ball)
Calem It's rare to get an opportunity like this.
Please train me!
(Forest; Serena and Greninja are battling Cynthia and Garchomp)
Cynthia Impressive skills.
You'll have no trouble advancing through the main tournament if you keep this up.
Serena Thank you!
It's an honor to be trained by you, Cynthia!
The judges said that just winning battles doesn't mean you can be champion...
Knowing Diantha, I wonder if they'll be judging us on how well we can act.
Cynthia Maybe. I'm not sure.
Would you like to beat Calem?
Serena Of course!
I've battled Calem many times since we left Vaniville Town together.
I'm always pushing myself so I don't lose to Calem, who's always serious.
Calem is the best rival. He's the reason I was able to get this strong!
Cynthia It's wonderful that you have a rival to compete against.
You can battle him seriously without holding back because he's strong and you respect him.
(Serena laughs nervously)
Cynthia Let's move on to the next training!
Your next opponent is...
??? Clang!
(Jasmine arrives with her Steelix and two Magnemite)
Jasmine My Steel-type Pokémon and I are here to help!
Cynthia Now! Try to break through her Pokémon's defense!
Serena Cynthia sure doesn't pull any punches...
But I have to work this hard if I want to beat Calem!
OK, let's do this, Jasmine!


  • True Feelings
Name Text
(Volcano; Calem and Greninja are battling Alder and Accelgor)
Calem Yes! Good job, Greninja!
(Greninja cries out)
Alder Indeed! That's the spirit!
(Alder returns Accelgor and approaches Calem)
Alder By the way, what is it that drives you so much?
The title of champion?
Calem Of course I'd like to be champion...
But it's not just the title I care about.
(Alder is puzzled, and Calem clenches his fists)
Calem I just...don't want to lose to Serena.
I've battled Serena so many times in Kalos, and each time, I've felt disappointed in myself.
Through battling her, I've realized that she's not just my neighbor...
I've started to see her as my true rival.
I wanted to remember my journey in Kalos with Greninja...
So I partnered up with him as a way to start a new journey.
(Greninja cries out)
Alder A rival you can't lose to, huh...
Say, Calem, what do you think about the Neo Champion Stadium?
(Calem is puzzled)
Alder Holding the tournament again and again, changing the head judge each time...
And in each tournament, those who prove themselves worthy will get the title of Neo Champion.
What do you think is the meaning of that?
Calem I guess it means...that it's better to have more Trainers who can be an example to others?
Alder That's one reason. But there's more to it than that.
(Flashback to N turned away)
Alder Once, I lost to a Trainer with true convictions...
(Fade to Hilbert turned away)
Alder And that Trainer clashed head-on with another Trainer with different convictions...
(Fade to N and Hilbert facing away from each other)
Alder Then both of them became true heroes.
(Back to present)
Alder My convictions and their convictions...
They were all true beliefs. There's no way to say one is better than the others.
Calem ... ... ...
Alder Seeing those convictions come together and compete with each other can give courage to those who are watching.
That's what I believe.
Calem Those words really mean something to me.
I used to compare myself to others to see who was better...
That's all I used to care about.
But that doesn't matter to me now.
I want to face Serena with my true feelings... And I want to win!
(Alder laughs)
Alder It seems you both were lucky to meet each other.
Calem What's the next training, Alder?
Alder I've got it!
I've asked someone special to come here to battle you.
(Acerola appears with Palossand and Mimikyu)
Acerola Hiya! Your big sister Acerola is here!
You're doing some serious training! I can help you out with that!
Calem Acerola...
I might take you up on that offer, Big Sis!
(Acerola laughs)
Calem I've become stronger by meeting all sorts of people and Pokémon throughout my journey.
I'm gonna hit Serena with all I've got!
(Transition to the stadium, where Lear and Diantha are standing on the stage)
A few days later...
Lear We will now hold the tournament to decide the Neo Champion of Pasio...
The Neo Champion Stadium!
Diantha I, Diantha, Champion of the Kalos region, will be the head judge for this tournament!
Everyone should know that this tournament's purpose isn't just to decide the strongest sync pair.
There's something I care about more than wins or losses.
What I want to see is how you shine as a sync pair!
I will bestow the title of Neo Champion upon the sync pairs who show me they shine brilliantly!
Lear Every participant should battle in a way that leaves no regrets at the end.
Diantha And now...let the Neo Champion Stadium begin!
(Fade to white)

(Champion Stadium)
Now, it's time for the Neo Champion Stadium finals!
The battle of the century—between Serena and Calem—is about to begin!
(Acerola, Jasmine, Cynthia, and Alder are watching as Calem walks onto the battlefield)
Calem In order to win this tournament, I can't lose here.
But more importantly...I don't want to lose to you.
(Serena walks onto the battlefield)
Serena I can't lose either.
You're my friend, my comrade, my neighbor...
And my best rival.
(Calem and Serena smile, then prepare for battle)
Serena Ready for this?
Calem En garde!
(Serena sends out her Greninja)
Serena Let's win, Greninja!
(Calem sends out his Greninja)
Calem No, we're gonna win!
(Calem and Serena's Greninja battle; after a tense match, Serena's Greninja is defeated)
Serena Greninja...
Calem Did we win?
I beat...Serena?
(Serena giggles)
Calem You're definitely my best rival.
(Serena and Calem walk to the center of the battlefield)
Serena Congratulations, Calem.
Diantha That was a truly excellent battle, you two.
(Diantha approaches Calem and Serena)
Diantha Each sync pair showed me a brilliant shine!
As I mentioned at the start, my focus for this tournament was how brightly you shine.
And more than one sync pair showed me a shining bond!
Sync pairs who share that light and compete with each other create an infinite shine.
This time, two Trainers who displayed this wonderful shine...
will be receiving the title of Neo Champion!
Serena What?!
But Calem won the battle...
Calem Serena... I'd like you to receive the title of Neo Champion as well.
Without you, I wouldn't have gotten as strong as I am now.
That's why I'd like to share this pleasure with you.
In fact, I think it's the right thing to do.
Serena OK, understood.
(Diantha congratulates Calem and Serena, and the two turn around to face the crowd;
Acerola, Jasmine, Cynthia, and Alder cheer; Lysandre chuckles and walks away; transition to evening)
Lear The Trainers who have won the honor to be crowned Neo Champion of this tournament are...these two!
(Calem and Serena each walk up wearing their Champion outfits and wave to the crowd)
Diantha Congratulations, Serena, Calem.
Calem I'll continue to count on you, neighbor.
Serena Right back at you!
(Calem and Serena chuckle and then pose for the audience)
