Each Battle Prep story could be unlocked using a Story Key, which could be obtained by completing story areas in Poké War Games. Two of the Poké War Games story areas were available at the start of the event, and a new story area was added each week until all five story areas had been added. The Battle Prep stories could be unlocked in any order. Extra Story Keys were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.

==Plot==
Filmed live by the from his villa, Lear announces a new event that's being held to promote Pasio: the Battle of the Golden Spheres. For this event, he'll be creating two teams of sync pairs, each led by two leaders in special costumes. During the event, they'll hide five golden spheres across Pasio for the teams to find and bring back to their camps, and the team that collects the most golden spheres wins. In addition, sync pairs can take golden spheres from the other team by beating them in Pokémon battles. Cameras will follow the participants around and stream their battles to spectators, so the sync pairs need to work with their teammates to make their battles entertaining. Lear has already appointed the leaders of each team—four Trainers who partnered up with interesting Pokémon—and will give them access to his wardrobe of clothes from other regions so they can wear suitably flashy costumes. Then, to the player's shock, he asks them to help with filming during the event as well. Since Lear needs to get to his next appointment, he, Rachel, and say good-bye to the audience and tell them to look forward to the event.
When the day of the event arrives, Lear summons the leaders of each team to the villa: , who has partnered with ; , who has partnered with ; , who has partnered with ; and , who has partnered with . The leaders exchange a few words and then head back to their base camps to begin the event. The base camp for Guzma and Jasmine's team is in a forest full of trees with red leaves. As soon as the game officially starts, Guzma is leading his team into battle. and vanish with their ninja tricks, while , , and head off together. Jasmine wants to keep up with them but finds it hard to move in her costume. appears in his kimono, tells her to move at her own pace, and offers to stay with her.
Meanwhile, at the base camp for Diantha and Hilda's team in the villa, the team captains swap stories they've heard about each other's partner Pokémon. asks Diantha what their battle strategy should be, and Diantha poses the question to the whole group. suggests that they split up to look for spheres. notes that it'd be safer to travel in a large group, but it would slow them down, so it's not ideal for this event. Diantha agrees that spreading out is the best strategy, so the rest of her team, including , , and , prepares to split up and head out.
In a cave, Wikstrom, Glacia, and Siebold come across a golden sphere. The three start taking it back to their base camp, but they have to go through the other team's forest to get there. They get ambushed by Koga, Janine, and Guzma, who easily defeat them and take their golden sphere. Elsewhere in the forest, Jasmine and Grimsley battle and defeat a and two s from the other team, forcing them to retreat. To Jasmine's dismay, she and Grimsley haven't made it very far from camp because of how restrictive her costume is. Grimsley assures her that she can just take it easy, but she really wants to support her team. So, Grimsley suggests a strategy that uses her defensive moves to their advantage, which requires them to head into enemy territory.
By the fountain in town, Erika, Valerie, and Falkner have Hilda cornered with a golden sphere. Hilda flashes back to earlier, when she found the golden sphere in town alongside a and a . She noticed Falkner watching them from the shadows and suspected that he wasn't making a move yet because he didn't have backup, which gave her an idea. Her teammates were worried that the plan wouldn't work, but Hilda encouraged them to give it a try. However, in the present, Hilda's Diancie is getting beaten up by the three Gym Leaders, while some onlookers have gathered to watch the event. Hilda laughs and reveals that running away was part of her strategy all along, and Diantha's Keldeo suddenly appears and knocks the Gym Leaders' Pokémon back. Diantha arrives alongside Keldeo, and Falkner is shocked that she had time to contact reinforcements. Hilda explains that she lured them here while her teammates fetched Diantha, pretending to have no backup, and she and Diantha work together to defeat Erika, Valerie, and Falkner and keep the golden sphere. Hilda reveals that this is their team's second golden sphere, and Diantha compliments Hilda on her efforts to make the battle captivating for the audience, something that she was preparing for before the event. Then, the two team leaders head back to their base camp.
Meanwhile, Guzma has brought a golden sphere back to his team's base camp. He and Buzzwole are preparing to head back out when a and report that the enemy team stole a golden sphere from them. Guzma declares that they'll just steal the sphere back. Korrina, Lt. Surge, and Fantina are celebrating their success and preparing to bring there sphere back to their camp, but Jasmine and Celesteela arrive, having just stolen a golden sphere from two Ace Trainers on the other team. Despite their best efforts, Korrina, Lt. Surge, and Fantina are unable to defeat Jasmine, and she takes their golden sphere as well. Jasmine and Grimsley celebrate their victory, and Guzma congratulates her on her work. Suddenly, Diantha and Hilda arrive with two golden spheres of their own. Guzma notes that they've now brought together all the spheres still in play, and Diantha realizes this battle will decide the winner of the event. The team leaders exchange a few words and prepare for a showdown. Grimsley watches from a tunnel nearby, choosing not to get involved, and the four team leaders' Pokémon clash.

Sawyer 	Young master! I think we're ready to go!
Lear 	Ready with the camera, <player>? Good. Start rolling!Ahem! Sync pairs of Pasio, hear my words!I'm happy to announce that we'll be holding a new kind of event to promote Pasio! We're calling it...the Battle of the Golden Spheres!I'll explain how it works, so listen up!
Rachel 	Yeah, and if you, like, still don't get it after that, we'll tooootally answer any questions you’ve got later on!
Sawyer 	First, let's give them an overview of the event. Take it away, young master!
Lear 	Certainly! Here are the rules!We'll start by creating two teams of sync pairs, each led by two leaders in special costumes!We'll hide five golden spheres all over Pasio. The team that brings more of these spheres back to their camp wins the game!It's as simple as that!You can also challenge your opponents to a Pokémon battle before they get back to their camp in order to steal their golden spheres!Battle with honor! Show us your finest moves, and try to take as many golden spheres from your opponents as you can!
Rachel 	Uh...quick question! How're the spectators gonna know what's going on if the battles are spread out all over Pasio?
Lear 	Excellent question! We'll have cameras following everyone around, so all battles will be livestreamed with commentary!Don't forget that we're trying to promote Pasio with showy battles! How you make it a show is completely up to you!Winning isn't enough to be a top-class sync pair! You also have to make your battles entertaining! Only the best know how to work a crowd!Also, keep in mind that we've designed this as a team event! Coordinating with your teammates is key!
Rachel 	Cooliooo. Thanks for that, Master Lear!
Lear 	We've also prepared some special prizes for the winning team, so sign up now to join the event!
Sawyer 	One more question. How exactly are we going to split all the participants into two teams?
Lear 	Heh. I've already decided on themes for each team! Everyone can join the team that suits them the best.I've already appointed the leaders that'll head each team! Two for each, in fact!I chose them based on some rumors I heard—that there are four Trainers who partnered up with some interesting Pokémon here on Pasio!From what I've seen, they all perfectly fit my vision for each team's theme!I'll even give everyone access to my wardrobe of clothes from other regions! So be grateful!The flashier your outfit, the better! These costumes are going to help us keep Pasio in the spotlight!Just wait until you see these team leaders in their special costumes. It'll blow you away!Now then...<player>! Just like today, I'd like you to help with filming when we hold this event!Why are you so surprised? Today was enough of a rehearsal, wasn't it?Not to worry! You won't be the only one behind the cameras out there!I've arranged for a whole crew of sync pairs to be out and about filming all these battles!I even have other things planned, as well! For example—
Sawyer 	Young master! It's time for your next appointment!
Lear 	Already? But I'm not done yet!Oh, all right! If you want to know what else we have in store for this event, you can check it out when it starts!
Rachel 	Okie dokie, that's all for now! See you all on the battlefield, everyone!

Hilda 	So your partner Pokémon Keldeo is in its Resolute Form, huh?I've heard that it's a Pokémon that changes form when its resolve for battle is strong!
Diantha 	I see! I've also heard stories of your partner Pokémon, Diancie, back in the Kalos region.They say that its pink, glimmering body is the loveliest sight in the whole world.
Wikstrom 	Pardon the interruption! Diantha, how would you like us to approach this battle?
Diantha 	Let's see... Perhaps we should discuss this as a team.
Lt. Surge 	If this is a search for golden spheres, we should probably split up to find them!
Siebold 	Hmm... Traveling as a large group might be safer if we run into anyone who'll try to attack us...But that also means we'd lose range and mobility, so it might not be the best option for this event.
Diantha 	It does sound like it'd be better to spread out and search rather than stay together, then.
Glacia 	I see. So it's decided, right? Our plan is to spread out and look for those spheres?
Fantina 	! Everyone on our team is strong, and we'll all be fine even when we're apart!
Diantha 	Very well! Ahem!Henceforth, we'll spread out our forces and expand our reach!Onward, my troops! Let's find those golden spheres before our opponents do and claim ourselves a victory!
Korrina 	All right! I'm so ready for this!
Wikstrom 	'Tis time to draw the famed blade of hardened Steel!

Jasmine 	I knew it...
Grimsley 	But that's because that costume is limiting your movement. It's not your fault.
Jasmine 	What should we do? At this rate, we won't find any golden spheres!
Grimsley 	Don't sweat it. Let's just take it slow and steady, one step at a time.
Jasmine 	No, I can't take it easy! I want to support our team!

Guzma 	No worries. If they stole it from us, let's just steal it right back!No sense cryin' over it. Let’s go!
Street Thug 	Thank you! And sorry for the inconvenience, sir!
Guzma 	Hmph. Even if they've taken our golden sphere, they still have to take it all the way back to their camp.So all we gotta do is storm right into their territory!

Korrina 	Well, that was easier than I thought! We got a golden sphere!
Fantina 	! Let's bring it back to camp immediately!
Lt. Surge 	Yeah! Even though the other team tried to stop us, they never stood a chance!
Korrina 	Wait, look! Isn't that one of the leaders of the other team?

Jasmine 	Do you know about the Steel type?They're very hard, cold, sharp...and really strong!
Ace Trainer (1) 	Korrina! Lt. Surge! Fantina! I'm so sorry! We lost!
Ace Trainer (2) 	And they took our golden sphere...
Jasmine 	Nobody gets past me!
Lt. Surge 	Heh. We won't let you block us!
Korrina 	We'll break through your defense and get back to our camp!

Fantina 	! What a perfect defense!
Lt. Surge 	They took our golden sphere...
Korrina 	L-let's retreat for now! There's no way we're getting past that defense!
(Fantina, Korrina, and Lt. Surge leave) 	(Fantina, Korrina, and Lt. Surge leave)
Jasmine 	We did it! Now we've got two of these golden spheres!
Grimsley 	That was some impressive defense, m'lady.
Guzma 	Heh. Not bad, Princess.

Diantha 	Oh my...
Guzma 	'Sup. You're late.Look. We've got two spheres on our side, and you've got two on yours...So all the spheres still in play are here in one spot!
Diantha 	Yes, that does seem to be the case.Which means this battle will decide the winner once and for all!
Jasmine 	We won't let you take any of our spheres!We'll take you down and win the game!
Hilda 	That's my line! Losing's not an option for us, either!I'm gonna stand out and win this battle!
Guzma 	All five golden spheres are gonna be ours!I'll rip that victory away from you if it's the last thing I do!
Diantha 	That's the spirit! I'd expect no less from a worthy opponent!Let's have ourselves a proper duel!
(Grimsley watches from afar) 	(Grimsley watches from afar)
Grimsley 	I guess it'd be uncouth of me to jump in at this point... I'll bow out and let our leaders decide the battle.I'd much rather watch how this plays out as a spectator anyway. Which team will tip the odds in their favor?
The Battle of the Golden Spheres is finally reaching peak intensity!Both teams are raring to go!	The Battle of the Golden Spheres is finally reaching peak intensity!Both teams are raring to go!
