The Ideal Formula

The Ideal Formula (Japanese: 世界を彩る数式 The Formula Coloring the World) was a story event in . It was focused on the sync pair .
==First run==
The event first ran from December 24, 2020, to January 12, 2021. The "N Poké Fair Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting from the beginning of the event to January 29, 2021.
In this run, players could earn Prize Coins from battles that could be used to draw items from a Prize Box pool. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Challenge N, which could only be challenged once per day. If the grand prize was drawn from the Prize Box, players could advance to the next prize pool. The grand prizes included area info for event story areas, Skill Spheres, 5★ Scout Tickets, Power-Up items, a Strike Move Candy Coin, and a Tech Move Candy Coin. Extra Prize Coins were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.
The player could battle using N & Zekrom to obtain +0.6× bonus Prize Coins; /Dewott/Samurott, /Pignite/Emboar, or to obtain +0.4× bonus Prize Coins; and , , or to obtain +0.2× bonus Prize Coins.
This event featured the Full-Force Battle, where players were challenged to defeat a large group of strong opponents. Similar to the Legendary Arena, players could use multiple teams with a limited number of total sync pairs, with the opponents' health carrying over between rounds and with previously used pairs unable to be used again until the challenge is reset. s could be earned by completing specific s.
In addition, players could earn a medal for completing all the story areas in the event.
==Second run==
The event reran from September 13 to 17, 2021 as a part of the Two-Year Anniversary Rerun Event. This run only contained the story areas and the battles between them; the Prize Box, Prize Coins, Challenge N, and Full-Force Battles did not return. In addition, no s could be earned.
==Third run==
The event reran again from November 7 to 21, 2022. While there was no scout directly corresponding to the event, N & Zekrom were featured in the "Vol. 3: Monthly Poké Fair Scout" which lasted for all of November 2022.
In this run, everything functioned identically to the first run. The only difference was the grand prizes, which now included area info for event story areas, Power-Up items, 5★ Unova Scout Tickets, Skill Spheres, and a Support Move Candy Coin.
==Plot==
 and his arrive on the island of Pasio, where he is sighted by , , and a with a . Hilbert, keen to meet N again, goes in search for him alongside Hilda, Cheren, and the player character.
Meanwhile, N is exploring the streets of Pasio where he meets and . Iris, who is keen to show N around, leads the group to the Pasio arena. As of Unova, Iris challenges N to a battle, noting that N had defeated in the past. An intense battle follows between Iris's Haxorus and N's Zekrom. Following the battle, the three decide to look for Hilbert as N is also keen on meeting him on Pasio.
In the forests, Hilbert, Hilda, Cheren, and the player encounter Team Break who are intimidating a into stealing his . When Hilbert challenges them, the leader of this group, the Masked Man with his Zoroark reveals that they have also captured the Youngster's little sister. Team Break makes a deal in releasing the little sister, in exchange for kidnapping the protagonists instead.
N, Iris, and Bianca, unable to find Hilbert, find out from PML staff that he has been captured by Team Break. With the help of the Youngster's Poochyena's sense of smell, the group find and apprehend Team Break at their hideout. However, the Masked Man reveals that capturing Hilbert had all been part of his ploy in attracting N to the hideout. The Masked Man, not a previous member of Team Plasma, notes that he reveres the views of Team Plasma and sees Pasio as a prison for Pokémon. He then asks N to become the king of Team Break. N however reveals that through his travels, he has seen the potential that can be found when people and Pokémon could be together. Refusing to back down, the group battle Team Break and succeed in defeating the Masked Man and his group.

Name 	Text
 	After all this time, I can finally see him again, here on Pasio...
Hilbert	There's a lot of stuff I need to say to N!Let's go look for him, <player>!
* The Hero Arrives on Pasio
Name 	Text
(Zekrom flies over Cheren while battling Team Break)	(Zekrom flies over Cheren while battling Team Break)
Cheren 	Was that...Zekrom?! Then that means...
Masked Man 	No way! HE came to Pasio?!
(Zekrom lands in a field) 	(Zekrom lands in a field)
??? 	So, this is where you wanted to bring us.
N 	The artificial island of Pasio.
(Hilda looks from afar) 	(Hilda looks from afar)
Hilda 	Hey, is that...
(Transition to the Pokémon Center) 	(Transition to the Pokémon Center)
Hilbert 	No way! Are you sure?!
Hilda 	I'm positive! You've told me all about him, so I knew exactly who it was!The person I saw was definitely N!
Hilbert 	Wow. So N is here on Pasio...I haven't seen him in so long.
Hilda 	Hilbert...You really want to see him again, don't you.Why don't we go look for N? I'll show you where I saw him!
Hilbert 	Yeah, let's go! Thanks!<player>, why don't you come with us, too?I wanna introduce you to my friend!
* The King of Team Plasma
Name 	Text
(Field) 	(Field)
Hilda 	That's odd—he was just here earlier. I wonder where he went.
Cheren 	Well, he never was the type to stay in one place for very long.
Hilbert 	If you both saw him, then he was definitely here for sure!
Cheren 	Yeah, but Team Break got away while I was distracted. I still have so much to learn.
Hilbert 	Hey, I get it. This is N we're talking about, after all.
Hilda 	You know, I've been wondering about this for a while now...but who exactly is this N guy, anyway? I mean, what's his deal?
Hilbert 	Wait, you don't know, Hilda? Even after everything that happened in Unova?
Hilda 	I-I just like to focus on battling—that's all!Besides, <player> also needs to know what's going on, right?
Cheren 	Yes, I do!: Yes, that's probably for the best.
Hilbert 	Who is N?: Yeah, we should bring you up to speed before we go meet him.This N we're searching for...He used to be the king of Team Plasma.
Hilda 	Whoa! Team Plasma?! Even I know about them!They're that group who'd say stuff about how we need to liberate Pokémon from their human oppressors.But in reality, they were just a bunch of Pokémon-stealing jerks!
Hilbert 	Yeah, we had a few run-ins with Team Plasma in the past.We also clashed with N a few times.
Cheren 	But the real mastermind was Ghetsis. He was controlling everything for his own gain.After Ghetsis was apprehended, Team Plasma laid low for a while.
Hilbert 	But N's feelings toward Pokémon—his beliefs...they were genuine.
Hilda 	His beliefs?
Hilbert 	He believed that Pokémon suffered because of misguided humans...So to change this messed-up world, he thought we needed to separate Pokémon and humans.All to help Pokémon, our friends...
Cheren 	Ghetsis exploited N's beliefs, and we ended up battling each other. Looking back, I can't believe it even came to that.Even though we all cared about our Pokémon...we still had to fight.
Hilda 	Hilbert, Cheren...N must have a really pure heart, huh?
Hilbert 	But through our battles and travels, N's beliefs began to waver.He saw with his own eyes how Pokémon and humans can understand and help each other.And he made a real effort to try to understand how we felt.That's why N is a really important friend to me!
Hilda 	A friend...I see! I'm still trying to process all this, but I think I get how you feel.Let's go find your friend so you can see him again!
Hilbert 	Thanks!
Cheren 	That said, N is really unpredictable. It might take a while to figure out where he is.
Hilbert 	No matter how hard it is, we'll definitely find N. There's a lot of stuff I need to say to him!
Cheren 	Like what?
Hilbert 	Nothing major, but...something important.OK, let's head out and find N!
(Transition to N in town)	(Transition to N in town)
N 	So this is Pasio...An artificial island where humans and Pokémon can coexist...
??? 	I knew it was you! Hey there, N!
(Bianca and Iris appear) 	(Bianca and Iris appear)
N 	You two...

Iris 	C'mon, N! Over here!
N 	Sure.
Iris 	Jeez! Don't be such a Slowpoke! The sun's about to set, and we haven't even finished showing you around town!
Bianca 	*chuckle* There's no rush, Iris. He did just get here, after all!Let us know if anything catches your eye, N. We'd be happy to give you a closer look.
N 	Yes...thank you.
Iris 	By the way, where's Zekrom? Is it in a Poké Ball right now?
N 	No.It seems Zekrom is also very interested in Pasio.
(Zekrom flies over the town) 	(Zekrom flies over the town)
Bianca 	Whoa! So that's Zekrom, huh? It's so cool!
Iris 	Wow...a Legendary Dragon Pokémon...OK, I know where we should go next!Follow me!
Bianca 	Wait for us, Iris!
N 	... ... ...
(Transition to the arena) 	(Transition to the arena)
Iris 	This is the Pasio arena!It's normally used for Pokémon battles, but there aren't any matches happening today.
N 	Pokémon battles...
Bianca 	Iris, I'll go get us permission to use the arena!
Iris 	Oh... Do you not like Pokémon battles, N?
N 	No, it's not that...
(Zekrom appears) 	(Zekrom appears)
Iris 	Ah! Zekrom!
N 	A Pokémon battle is a way for us to see what wonderful things others have to contribute. Accepting different ideas and different beings changes the world like a chemical reaction.Zekrom taught me that...
Iris 	Different ideas? A chemical reaction?I don't really get all that, but I guess it means you don't hate Pokémon battles! Me, I love to battle!Oh?Yes, I know.
N 	You people are very strange.
Iris 	Hm? How so?
N 	You know what I did in Unova, don't you?I was the king of Team Plasma. We fought the Gym Leaders and the Champion. We opposed everything you stood for.You have every reason to hate me. I don't see why you would be kind to me.So...why? Why are you being so welcoming?
Iris 	Why not?
N 	What do you mean?
Iris 	You know, the former Champion of Unova, Alder, was really, really strong.But he lost to you, right?
N 	... ... ...
Iris 	Alder always used to say...the ones who change the world are always the ones who pursued their dreams.I think that's why you beat him!Because you've been pursuing your dream of making Pokémon happy!
N 	Wha—
Iris 	There's no way I could hate someone like that! And also...Zekrom is so calm around you.I know you can understand what Pokémon say, but I can tell what dragons are feeling!
N 	... ... ...You're different from me, Iris.
Iris 	Huh?
N 	It's not just that you can understand the hearts of dragons.You also understand the hearts of people.With you as Champion, Unova will become a place where Pokémon can live peacefully.
Iris 	N...Thanks! I'll do my best!
Bianca 	Yoo-hoo, Iris!I got permission to use the arena!
Iris 	Thanks, Bianca!N...Battle me!I've always wanted to battle you! You defeated Alder, after all!
N 	Iris...Yes, I'd like that, too.I want to see the power of the current Unova Champion!I'll surpass you!
(Iris and N battle) 	(Iris and N battle)
(Transition to sunset) 	(Transition to sunset)
Iris 	Phew... Boy, are you two strong!
N 	You're strong, too, Iris.I wonder what would have happened if you had been the Champion I challenged back then.
Bianca 	It's getting late. Let's head out, shall we?
Iris 	Let's hang out again tomorrow! I'll bring Hilbert along, too!
N 	Hilbert?! He's on Pasio, too?
Bianca 	Come to think of it, he's been wanting to see you again for a while now! We probably should have invited him today.
Iris 	Then I'll definitely bring him with me tomorrow!
N 	I'm going to see him again...
(Transition to the forest) 	(Transition to the forest)
Cheren 	The sun's starting to set... Guess we couldn't find any clues to N's whereabouts.
Hilda 	Let's keep searching for him.: Yeah! It's still too early to give up!
Cheren 	Let's keep searching for him.: I understand how you both feel, but it's getting dark. Let's stop for today.Let's try again tomorrow.: Good idea. It'll be harder to find him when it's dark out, anyway.
Hilbert 	Yeah. What a bummer, though.
Hilda 	Hey, cheer up! We know he's here somewhere!
Cheren 	Let's ask Bianca to help us tomorrow. I'm sure we'll find him if we do.
Hilbert 	Good idea.
??? 	NOOO! Go away!
Cheren 	What was that?!
Hilbert 	It came from over there!
(Team Break attacking a Youngster) 	(Team Break attacking a Youngster)
Masked Man 	Give us your Pokémon! It's for its own good!
Youngster 	No! Poochyena's my friend!
Masked Man 	Your "friend," huh?My Zoroark is strong! I've spent years raising it!
Hilbert 	Hey, cut it out!
Cheren 	If you're going to resort to force, you'll have to go through us.
Masked Man 	Who are you? Hm?You...
Hilbert 	Well? You gonna take us on or what?
Masked Man 	Very well... We won't take this Pokémon.However! You're coming with us to our secret hideout!
Hilda 	What in the world are you talking about? There's no way we're going with you.
Masked Man 	Heh heh heh... Maybe this'll change your mind.

Hilbert 	Fine, let's go.

Bianca 	And not just him! Cheren and Hilda, too!It's not like them at all. I hope nothing bad has happened...
??? 	Pardon me!

Cheren 	It's been a while since they brought us here, but we still have no idea what Team Break is up to.
Hilbert 	Yeah. I can't believe they're just keeping us locked up here.
Cheren 	What in the world are they thinking?: No idea. That's why it's so creepy.
Hilbert 	What if they never let us go?: No way! We'll find a way out of here—don't you worry!
Cheren 	Focus on staying calm. That way, we can be prepared to deal with whatever they try to do.
Hilda 	Argh! I can't take it anymore!Hey! Team Break! Come out and face us!
Hilbert 	Shhh, Hilda!
Masked Man (1) 	Well, aren't you a feisty one?Sorry, but we're in the middle of preparing a grand welcome for N.
Hilbert 	N?! What's he got to do with this?
Masked Man (1) 	If you're here, N will surely come. You're the reason Team Plasma fell from grace...I'm just using you so I can achieve my dream!

Hilda 	I'm glad we're getting out of this mess, but...
Hilbert 	N, do you know this guy?
N 	No. At least...I don't think so...
Masked Man 	Of course you wouldn't know me. I'm not from Unova.But I believe wholeheartedly in your dream!
Cheren 	N's dream?
Masked Man 	Have you had a chance to walk the streets of Pasio, Your Majesty?
N 	Yes.
Masked Man 	Wasn't it just awful?"A paradise where humans and Pokémon coexist." That's supposedly the concept of this island.But nothing could be further from the truth!This place is nothing but a glorified prison for Pokémon...
N 	Pasio is...a prison?
Hilda 	That's nonsense! You don't know what you're talking about!
Masked Man 	Nonsense, you say? Think about it!Pokémon are trapped on this island and have their freedom taken away! It's no different from the oppression of a Poké Ball!And they're forced to battle each other in that ridiculous PML tournament!Even Pokémon who don't want to battle are forced to do so against their will!This island is nothing but a false utopia, created by egotistical humans!
N 	... ... ...
Bianca 	That's not what Pasio is!
Cheren 	And where do you get off lecturing us after all the bad things Team Break has done?
Masked Man 	Yes, I agree. Team Break is the worst. They selfishly use Pokémon for their own desires.However, they do have power.And I wanted to use that power to save Pokémon!But I wasn't strong enough...Your Majesty! Please, help me save the Pokémon!Become the king of Team Break!
Iris 	The king of Team Break?!
Hilbert 	N...
Masked Man 	We're nothing like Ghetsis! We really want to save Pokémon!We want to change this gray world, where black and white—people and Pokémon—have been mixed together instead of kept separate...So please! Lend us your strength!
N 	... ... ...
Masked Man 	Your Majesty!
N 	I have traveled the world and seen much of it...No matter where I went, the relationship between people and Pokémon was the same.What did you call it?Ah yes, a gray world.
Masked Man 	Exactly! That's what we need to change!
N 	However...That's how you see the world. It's not what I see.
Masked Man 	Wha—
N 	This world isn't gray at all. You only see it that way because you're not trying to see the truth!I've seen with my own eyes people and Pokémon coexisting.I saw it here on this paradise island called Pasio!
Masked Man 	Your Majesty...
N 	Pokémon can unleash their true power by being with people.And people can discover their true potential by being with Pokémon.Instead of separating black and white, we must accept it.That's what I learned from my travels around the world!The formula that makes up this world!
Hilbert 	N...
Masked Man 	Your Majesty, no... It can't be...Even if Team Plasma has changed, I didn't want to believe that you've changed, too.Fine. I'll do it myself.I will be the successor of your old dream!Right after I take you down!
(Team Break reinforcements appear) 	(Team Break reinforcements appear)
Cheren 	After all that talk, you're just going to resort to brute force?

N 	Yeah!We'll protect the dreams of everyone here!

N 	... ... ...
Hilbert 	N!
N 	This is why we shouldn't separate people and Pokémon.
Masked Man 	What?!
N 	Your friend loves you. It says it wants to be with you forever.That's why it battled us with everything it had.If you make your dream a reality, you'll be separated forever.And yet, your friend still fought its hardest for you...
Masked Man 	Zoroark...
N 	Instead of listening to the things I said in the past, maybe you should listen more to your friend here.Your Pokémon has so much love for you.

Iris 	I was really worried when I heard you'd been kidnapped, but I'm so glad you're all OK!
Bianca 	Yeah! And we finally were able to get Hilbert and N together.
Cheren 	Yes, I'm glad, too.
Hilda 	Hm? What's wrong, Cheren?
Cheren 	Did you wanna talk to N, too?: Yeah. I have my own history with him.Now that I'm a Gym Leader, I think I'd be able to approach our conversation from a different point of view.Are you worried about Hilbert?: Yeah. I'm just wondering what was so important that he had to tell N in person.I'd like to talk to N, too...but there's a proper order to this sort of thing, you know?So I'll let Hilbert go first.
N 	Bianca told me you've been looking for me.
Hilbert 	Yeah...
N 	I thought about you a lot during my travels.Our run-ins, our battles, and...what you taught me.I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't
for you.''
Hilbert 	N...Don't even sweat it!That's what friends are for, you know?
N 	*chuckle* True...We are friends.
Hilbert 	Speaking of which, there's something I've been wanting to talk to you about!
N 	What is it?
Hilbert 	Before you left to go on your journey...you told me I should make my dream come true—and that you believed I could do it...Then you just up and left after saying good-bye! I mean, what gives?!Give me a chance to respond, at least!
N 	... ... ...Pfft! Ahahahaha!You've been looking for me all this time just to tell me that?
Hilbert 	D-don't laugh! Maybe it's a little childish, but...
N 	No, I'm sorry. That really was selfish of me, wasn't it.Let me make it up to you. I plan on staying on Pasio for a while, anyway.Instead of good-bye this time, maybe I should say...see you soon!
