Steven	I'm the detective... I've been interested in detectives for a while, actually.
Shauna	I think it suits you, Steven!
Steven	Heh. I won't let you down!
* The Mystery Game Begins!
Name 	Text
Lear 	Sync pairs of Pasio!I'm happy to announce that we'll be holding an interactive mystery game!Play a role and solve the mansion's mysteries!IF you can solve them! Hahahahaha!
(The lights turn on, revealing that Lear is standing in his villa with a group of people around him)	(The lights turn on, revealing that Lear is standing in his villa with a group of people around him)
Lear 	And that's what's going on!
(Lyra, Burgh, Shauna, Looker, Melony, Guzma, Steven, and Agatha are gathered around Lear) 	(Lyra, Burgh, Shauna, Looker, Melony, Guzma, Steven, and Agatha are gathered around Lear)
Steven 	So we've been invited as playtesters?
Lear 	Precisely.I will have you all act the roles you're given and play this mystery-solving game.Among the roles you will play, there is a culprit who will cause an incident...who is obviously hiding their identity.You will be asked to figure out who the culprit is and what kind of incident happened.
Shauna 	Wow! That sounds like so much fun! ♪
Lear 	Now then, draw to decide your roles!
* Roles Are Decided!
Name 	Text
(Villa; Lear and the others are all standing around chatting; Steven and Shauna appear, wearing their special costumes)	(Villa; Lear and the others are all standing around chatting; Steven and Shauna appear, wearing their special costumes)
Lyra 	Wow! You two get costumes? That's nice!
Shauna 	Heehee! Does it suit me? Apparently, I'm the detective's assistant!
Steven 	And I'm the detective.They're really putting a lot of effort into this event, preparing costumes and all.
Shauna 	I'll do my best to support you as detective's assistant!
Steven 	Great! I'll be counting on you!
Burgh 	I'm the musician... Are there no costumes for us?
Lear 	We don't have all the costumes yet, as we're still in the testing phase.
Lyra 	Awww... I would have liked to wear the artist's costume.
Looker 	I can't believe I don't get to be the detective. It would have been perfect for me...
Agatha 	But the main idea of the game is that you can still make deductions even if you're not the detective, right?Why don't you just guess the culprit before the detective does?
Looker 	I suppose you're right... Then I'll stick with my role as the gardener!By the way, what's your role, Agatha?
Agatha 	I'm the owner of the mansion. Why, am I a suspect already?
Guzma 	I'm the cleaner?!There's no need for cleaning if you just smash everything to bits!
Melony 	I'm the sculptor... Don't you go breaking any of my art, now.
Lear 	Does everyone know what role they'll be playing?
(Everyone nods) 	(Everyone nods)
Lear 	Now, before we begin the game, let me go over some simple rules.Each participant has been given a role, and one of those roles is the culprit!However, the culprit has also been given an additional role to serve as a decoy.The culprit must use their decoy role to avoid suspicion while causing "the incident."
Steven 	And everyone else should play their roles and try to guess who the culprit is, right?
Lear 	Indeed. To discover the culprit, it's important to figure out what happened in this mansion.Piecing together what occurred is crucial to solving the mystery!
Shauna 	I have a question!Can you get help from your partner Pokémon during the game?
Lear 	That's fine. The point of this game is to enjoy it as a sync pair.Do you understand the rules? If so, let the games begin!
(Transition to another room in the villa; Steven is talking to his Stoutland) 	(Transition to another room in the villa; Steven is talking to his Stoutland)

Steven 	Haha! Well, this IS my job...Agatha, you're the owner of the mansion, right?
Agatha 	That's right. You should show me some respect.
Looker 	And I'm the gardener!
Steven 	What were you two doing just now?
Looker 	We were talking about the Pokémon in the garden!
Agatha 	He was explaining a few things to me regarding the Pokémon that live in the garden.

Guzma 	If that's the deal, then I don't need to waste my time acting. I can just keep complaining, since it fits the part.

Lyra 	Yep! We were just talking about how it would have been great if our roles were swapped!I'm the artist...
Burgh 	And I'm the musician.
Steven 	I'm just going around talking to everyone right now. Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary?
Lyra 	Umm... Oh yeah!I was supposed to say something specific to anyone who asked a question!
Burgh 	Hmm... Are you supposed to tell them that?
Lyra 	What? Is that against the rules?
Burgh 	No, you're not breaking the rules.But if you're the culprit, what you just said would be extremely disadvantageous for you...
Lyra 	B-but if I don't say anything now, that's even more suspicious, right?So, in this mansion, there's an old painting of a little girl.And as an artist, I was drawn to that painting! Errr, supposedly.
(The background music stops, and a mysterious tone plays) 	(The background music stops, and a mysterious tone plays)

A treasure was stolen from the locked treasure vault!The participants shared the information they had and organized their thoughts on the situation...
Steven 	Looker and Agatha have been together since the beginning of the game. So have Lyra and Burgh.Since there's only one culprit, those four have alibis.
Lyra 	What's an alibi?
Steven 	It means you can prove that you weren't at the crime scene when the incident occurred.
Shauna 	Right, so the four of them can vouch for each other!Which means there're two suspects—Guzma and Melony?!
Steven 	There're four if you include me and Shauna.We met up at one point, but before that, we were working separately.
Shauna 	Oh, that's right!So, who's the most suspicious out of the four right now?
(Everyone looks at Guzma) 	(Everyone looks at Guzma)
Guzma 	A-are you saying I'm the culprit?! I haven't been in no treasure vault!I have the keys to some of the rooms so I can clean, but I don't have the key to the treasure vault!
Agatha 	Guzma's telling the truth. I have the key. See? Here it is.As the owner of the mansion, I have all the keys.
(Steven looks at Shauna's Klefki, who doesn't react) 	(Steven looks at Shauna's Klefki, who doesn't react)
Steven 	Are those really all of your keys, Agatha?
Agatha 	They should be. Why?
Steven 	I see...
Shauna 	If Agatha had the keys, no one else can get into the room, right?
Steven 	I think we need to investigate a bit more...

Steven 	There are times when Stoutland does bring me rocks, but...Mistaking ice for a rock?
(Transition back to the room where everyone is gathered) 	(Transition back to the room where everyone is gathered)
Looker 	So there was a shard of ice at the scene of the crime...Hah—I've got it!Melony! You're the culprit, aren't you?!
Melony 	What?! You're accusing me just because there was ice at the scene?
Looker 	Here's my reasoning!You worked together with Lapras and made a key to the door out of ice!Then you used the ice key to get into the room and steal the treasure—and made it look locked by locking the door again!The motive could be that you wanted the treasure for a sculpture...
Melony 	Hold on a minute! That's all just speculation!
Looker 	But the only ones who can freely manipulate ice are you and Lapras!
Melony 	That's true, but...
Steven 	Wait!Melony isn't the culprit!
Looker 	Wh-whaaat?!

* Who's the Real Culprit?
Name 	Text
Steven 	The real culprit is...you!Shauna!
Lyra 	Whaaat?!
Shauna 	You suspect me, Steven?
Steven 	Yes, I'm sure of it. If you want to prove your innocence...I want you to show us that none of Klefki's keys can open the treasure vault.If you can't do that...
Agatha 	What do you mean?
Steven 	Klefki has this mansion's master key.If my deduction is correct, this mansion should have a master key.
Looker 	Whaaat?! How did you guess that? Tell me, Steven!
Steven 	Of course.To start, the aim of this game isn't just to guess the culprit.We also have to figure out what happened in this mansion, right?Lyra.You said there's an old painting of a little girl in this mansion, correct?Burgh said it must be a painting of Agatha, the owner of the mansion, but...
(Flashback to Steven talking to Looker and Agatha in the forest) 	(Flashback to Steven talking to Looker and Agatha in the forest)
Steven 	This mansion was seized from a prestigious family, and Agatha has only recently started living here.
(Back to present) 	(Back to present)
Steven 	So it would be weird to have an "old" painting of Agatha.
Lyra 	Then the girl in the painting is...
Steven 	Yes. She's the girl from the prestigious family who used to live in this mansion.What if that girl was looking for a chance to steal the treasure back?
Looker 	And you're saying that's Shauna?
Steven 	Yes. It wouldn't be strange for the culprit—and by culprit, I mean the original owner of the mansion...to, like Agatha, have special items to help them play their role in this game.I suspect Agatha doesn't have the master key to this mansion...
(Flashback to Steven looking at Shauna's Klefki) 	(Flashback to Steven looking at Shauna's Klefki)
Steven 	because when she showed me what keys she had, Klefki didn't express any interest in them.
(Back to present) 	(Back to present)
Steven 	The fact that Klefki have a tendency to like master keys is just further proof.
Shauna 	But you could just hide the keys...and Melony could be the girl from the painting, right?
Melony 	Aww, a "girl"?
Shauna 	And the painting could have been brought in by Agatha!And there was a shard of ice at the crime scene...
Steven 	Yes, and that was the conclusive proof.
Shauna 	What?
(Flashback to Stoutland giving Shauna the shard of ice) 	(Flashback to Stoutland giving Shauna the shard of ice)
Steven 	My Stoutland gave the shard of ice to you.
(Back to present) 	(Back to present)
Steven 	It knew from the smell left on the ice that you dropped it, Shauna.That's the proof that you left the ice there, so Melony would look suspicious.
(Flashback to Shauna and Steven talking to Melony) 	(Flashback to Shauna and Steven talking to Melony)
Melony 	The ice shard...from when you were talking to me?
(Back to present) 	(Back to present)
Steven 	That's another suspicious thing.Even if you did search the mansion, you're still far too knowledgeable about it.
(Flashbacks to Shauna showing Steven the art studio, the storage room, the balcony, and the treasure vault)	(Flashbacks to Shauna showing Steven the art studio, the storage room, the balcony, and the treasure vault)
