The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk (Japanese: 藍の円盤 The Indigo Disk) is the second expansion in the The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It was released on December 14, 2023.

It follows The Teal Mask. As such, while The Indigo Disk can still be accessed as early as completing the introduction sequence of The Teal Mask, completion of the main story of The Teal Mask, as well as completing the main story of Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet, are required to continue the main story of The Indigo Disk beyond its introduction.

It is followed by an epilogue story called Mochi Mayhem, made accessible on January 11, 2024, which can only be played after finishing the main story of The Indigo Disk and participating in the Academy Ace Tournament at least once.

Following their adventure in the land of Kitakami, the player is invited as an exchange student to Blueberry Academy in the Unova region by the academy's director, Cyrano, following a recommendation by Carmine. At the foreign academy, the player is introduced to the Terarium, a vast undersea dome with four separate biomes and numerous wild Pokémon. A special "Terarium Core" designed by Briar also enables the use of the Terastal phenomenon in the academy. Meeting up with Carmine, the player learns that her brother Kieran has changed since their class trip to Kitakami, now being completely obsessed with growing stronger and acting rude to others around him, all in an effort to defeat the player.

An encounter with Drayton, a member of the academy's Elite Four, leads to the player learning of the BB League, the school's take on the Pokémon League concept, with the strength-obsessed Kieran standing at the top as the current Champion after dethroning Drayton. Despite the player being an exchange student, Drayton suggests they should take on the BB League. Following a vote between the BB League Elite Four and Champion, the player is granted the right to do this and skip their way directly to challenging the Elite Four, each of whom is situated in one of the Terarium's four biomes. Each Elite Four member is preceded by an Elite Trial that the player must clear before being allowed to challenge the Elite Four member. After defeating all four members, the player is given the right to challenge Kieran. Following a fierce battle, the player emerges victorious as the new BB League Champion, causing Kieran to almost have a nervous breakdown as all his efforts to grow stronger are rendered for naught.

Following the player's victory, they, Carmine, Kieran, and Drayton are invited to meet Briar, who informs them that she has finally received a permission from the Paldean Pokémon League to enter Area Zero within the Great Crater of Paldea, her hopes being on discovering the Legendary Pokémon Terapagos within its depths to prove Heath's findings correct. Still wanting to defeat the player, Kieran agrees to come along in the hopes of catching Terapagos. Carmine also agrees to join, while Drayton can't be bothered with traveling all the way to Paldea, so he stays behind. Before their departure, the player is met by Geeta and Rika, the former whom hands them a mysterious artifact known as the Indigo Disk, which had originally belonged to an Area Zero researcher.

In Area Zero, the player, Carmine, Kieran, and Briar travel to the Zero Lab, where the purpose of the Indigo Disk is revealed as a method of redirecting the facility's elevator even further below than the time machine room and into the Area Zero Underdepths. Traversing through the crystal-filled cave, the player learns of the nineteenth Tera Type, called the Stellar Tera Type, which consists of the power of every other type combined and is possessed by some wild Tera Pokémon living in the cave. At the very bottom of the cave, the group discovers a crystal that Briar says is the dormant form of Terapagos. Once Terapagos awakens, it tries to approach the player, but Kieran, refusing to allow another Legendary Pokémon to join the player instead of him, swiftly catches Terapagos with a Master Ball.

Eager to see Terapagos in action, Briar urges the player to battle Kieran. The player accepts, but despite Kieran using Terapagos against them, he still loses. Briar realizes that Terapagos is not at its full power and tells Kieran to use his Tera Orb on it. Doing this, though, unintentionally causes Terapagos's power to overflow and go out of control, even breaking its own Master Ball when Kieran tries to recall it. The player and Carmine are forced to battle Terapagos, though Carmine quickly loses, with Terapagos absorbing away any Terastal energy used by the player to Terastallize their Pokémon. Following Carmine's repeated urging, Kieran finally teams up with the player, allowing them to overpower Terapagos. This time, Kieran is fine with the player
