The Girl in Black and White (Japanese: 黒白の情熱ガール The Passionate Girl in Black and White) was a story event in Pokémon Masters EX. It was focused on the sync pair Hilda & Tepig.
First run
The event first ran from September 30 to October 17, 2019. The "Hilda Spotlight Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Hilda & Tepig for the duration of the event.
In this run, players could complete co-op battles to earn Vouchers E, which could be redeemed in the shop. Extra vouchers were automatically exchanged with coins once the event was finished.
Second run
The event reran from September 3 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 "Unite with Hilda" battles, co-op battles, and exchange shop did not return.
Plot
At a sweets festival, the player, Hilda and Roxanne are in a queue for Casteliacones. Roxanne is eager to learn about Casteliacones and explains the importance of learning, such as knowing Pokémon battles. Hilda believes that actually tasting a Casteliacone would be the best way to learn than simply describing one.
At that moment, a Masked Woman cuts in front of them. Hilda, Roxanne and the player defeat the Masked Woman in battle, forcing her to line up from the back of the queue.
Roxanne acknowledges Hilda's power in battle but states that her style is a little reckless. Hilda rebuts saying that a Trainer needs to jump in to know what is going to work or not and that stopping and thinking might cost the Trainer a chance. Hilda believes that taking action is the most important, while Roxanne believes thorough planning is crucial.
A Pokémon Ranger who witnessed their previous battle then asks them for a battle. After defeating her, Roxanne realizes that despite having opposing battle styles they were still able to win.
Soon, there is an announcement that Casteliacones had been sold out and the team walk away disappointed.
They are next met by Thorton who has also been intrigued by their battle and would like to analyze their Pokémon. Roxanne points out that Thorton has bought four Casteliacones and Thorton agrees to give them the ice cream if they battle him.
After the defeat, Thorton finds out that his data analysis was insufficient to keep up with the movements and commands of the team. Hilda and Roxanne both realize that they are in sync as a team despite their differences in battle style.
Once they receive the Casteliacones, they find that they have now melted. Hilda and Roxanne plan to come again tomorrow to buy Casteliacones.

Script
- Pokémon Center (intro)
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Hilda | Come on, <player>! Let's go! Time to get our team in perfect sync, and battle it out nonstop! |
- Pokémon Center (event conversation)
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Hilda | I'm totally craving a Casteliacone... |
| Hilda | Having different battle styles means you can cover each other's weak points! It's part of what makes battling on a team so great! |
- The Sweets Festival!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| A sweets festival had taken over the city for the day. A long line of eager customers queued up in front of one of the festival's best sellers, the famous Casteliacone from Castelia City. | |
| Hilda | Just a little farther, <player>! We're almost to the front! It's been ages since I've had a Casteliacone. I'm so excited! |
| Roxanne | Are they really that good? |
| Hilda | They really, really are! Watch, one bite and you'll be addicted! Plus, they're made to look like Vanillite, so they're really cute, too! |
| Roxanne | Oh, I already know what they look like! I did some research before coming here today. I want to know how they taste. What about the texture? Are they more creamy or airy? What do you like most about Casteliacones? |
| Hilda | Wow, I didn't realize you were that interested! Why the sudden curiosity about Casteliacones? |
| Roxanne | I want to figure out why certain things become popular. What is it about them that makes so many people go crazy? It's important to be eager to learn, no matter what the topic is. The same goes for applying that knowledge to your Pokémon battles. |
| Hilda | You really love learning, huh! As for Casteliacones, I think tasting one for yourself will be a lot more helpful than asking me to describe them. Plus, it'll be more fun that way! Am I right? |
| Roxanne | I...suppose that's true. All right, then! I'll look forward to tasting one myself! |
| (Team Break appears) | |
| Masked Woman | Hehe! Look, a gap in the line just for me! Guess today's my lucky day! |
| Roxanne | Excuse me! What do you think you're doing? Cutting in line is against the rules. |
| Masked Woman | Who cares! What's the big deal, anyways? You can't expect me to wait in line for hours just for some dumb ice cream. |
| Hilda | D-dumb ice cream? Dumb ice cream?! Casteliacones are famous! They always sell out immediately, even in Castelia City, where they're originally from! Waiting in line for hours to get your hands on one is part of what makes it so delicious! You really don't get it at all, do you?! |
| Masked Woman | Sheesh! Somebody woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning... |
| Roxanne | Regardless, I won't tolerate rule-breaking! Now march yourself right to the back of the line. |
- Plan vs. Action
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Masked Woman | Ugh! Fine then! I'll go to the back of the dumb line. Happy?! |
| (Team Break leaves) | |
| Roxanne | The two of you are quite strong, aren't you... I'm impressed! Although...your battle style is a bit on the reckless side. |
| Hilda | What?! I wouldn't call it reckless. How will you know if something's gonna work or not if you don't jump in there and give it a try? Traveling around the Unova region taught me to take the initiative. If you stop and think for too long, sometimes you end up missing your chance. What I'm trying to say is that it's good to take action! You can always reflect on things later. That's how I intend to raise my Tepig���from now until she evolves into a fiery Emboar! |
| Roxanne | Interesting... I guess I've never really thought of it that way. |
| Hilda | What's your stance, <player>? I prefer to take action!: I thought you'd say that! I've always felt like we were pretty similar in that regard! |
| Roxanne | I prefer to think first, act later!: I knew you'd say that! Great minds think alike, <player>. |
| ??? | Pardon me... |
| (A Pokémon Ranger appears) | |
| Pokémon Ranger | If you're not busy at the moment, do you want to have a Pokémon battle? I was watching you battle earlier, and now I'm itching to fight! |
| Roxanne | Oh, really? Well, maybe another battle will help Hilda see sense when it comes to the importance of good planning. |
| Hilda | Or it'll help Roxanne realize that taking action is more important than planning everything out! You're on! |
- Thorton's Proposal
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Hilda | That was awesome, <player>! Another win for us! |
| Roxanne | My thorough planning and calm, cool analysis seem to have done the trick. |
| Hilda | And I knocked down the competition with brute strength! |
| Roxanne | When it comes to battle style, we really are complete opposites, aren't we... But we managed to win despite that. I don't understand— |
| Attention all customers currently in line for a Casteliacone! Thank you for waiting, but we've just sold our last cone for the day! We are now sold out! | |
| Hilda | What?! H-how could they sell out so soon?! |
| Roxanne | But we've waited all this time! I can't believe we missed out. |
| Hilda | Shoot! I was really looking forward to having a Casteliacone today. |
| ??? | Bzweeeeep! |
| Roxanne | Um, can I help you with something? |
| (Thorton appears) | |
| Thorton | Oh, don't mind me. I just thought I'd take this opportunity to perform an analysis on your Pokémon. Your battle earlier has me quite intrigued. |
| Hilda | Huh?! Analysis? You didn't even ask us first! |
| Roxanne | Hey, look! He's got four Casteliacones! |
| Hilda | WHAT?! |
| Thorton | Oh, these? I bought them for an experiment. I plan to feed them to Pokémon and observe their responses. Why, do you want them? I guess I could let them go if you agree to battle me instead. |
| Hilda | Are you serious?! |
| Thorton | Collecting data from your Pokémon is worth more to me than a few ice cream cones. This will be fun. I look forward to analyzing all of the data later. |
- Synergy beyond Analysis?!
| Name | Text |
|---|---|
| Thorton | Whoa! Whoa! You're even more impressive than I thought! |
| Roxanne | We did it! That was some excellent teamwork! |
| Hilda | It's like we were totally in sync! We make such an awesome team! The question is how, though, right? Our battle styles are still polar opposites. |
| Thorton | Hmm, this can't be right... My data-interpreting machine was just reading at 78% a moment ago. Oh, don't mind me! Just mumbling to myself... You can just ignore that number. It seems my data analysis was insufficient to keep up with the movements and commands of you three and your Pokémon. A sub-optimal performance indeed... I stand defeated. |
| Hilda | Wait, are you saying we were so in sync that we broke your machine? How awesome is that! |
| Roxanne | Our styles may be totally different, but when we were battling together, it felt like something just clicked. |
| Thorton | I'd have to collect a lot more data to be sure. I think there's something else at work here...something that can't be expressed in numbers. Ah, that reminds me. Four Casteliacones in exchange for a battle, as promised. |
| Hilda | Woo-hoo! Finally! |
| Roxanne | Thank you, Thorton! Wait... Oh no! |
| Hilda | NOOO! They're totally melted! |
| Thorton | Oh. Well, that's unfortunate. Though that is to be expected with ice cream. |
| Roxanne | I can't believe this... After all that buildup, I don't even get to taste one? Wait—pause! Melted or not, the ingredients are all still there. Melting shouldn't change the flavor, right?! |
| Hilda | I...guess so? Maybe? Why don't we just come back again tomorrow and wait in line for a good, not-melted one? We'll have plenty of time to chat while we wait. Maybe we can get to know each other a little better! |
| Roxanne | That's not a bad idea. Like you said before, waiting in line is part of what makes Casteliacones delicious, right? I'm sure they'll taste even more amazing after spending all that time with you and <player>! |
