Pokemon Scarlet & Violet – The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC Story Details
The Teal Mask
In The Teal Mask expansion, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players will venture beyond the Paldea region on a new school trip to the sleepy countryside of Kitakami.
In Kitakami, the player will meet siblings Carmine and her younger brother Kieran, as well as a photographer called Perrin.
You’ll solve the mystery behind an ancient local legend surrounding the new legendary Pokemon Ogerpon, and the region’s guardians Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti.
Additionally, you’ll be able to take part in the Festival of Masks, help Perrin take photographs, and pop Ogre balloons in the Ogre Oustin’ minigame.

The Indigo Disk
In The Indigo Disk, Scarlet & Violet players will leave Naranja or Uva Academy behind to become exchange students at Blueberry Academy, their sister school.
There you will be able to explore a giant terrarium split between 4 unique biomes each with its own unique Pokemon: the subtropical savannah biome, lush coastal biome, canyon biome, and polar biome.
At Blueberry Academy you’ll also challenge the BB League, a group of students at Blueberry Academy with their own Elite Four comprised of students Lacey, Crispin, Amarys, and Drayton.
Finally, you’ll be able to take part in trials, decorate your own clubroom, customize your Pokeball throwing style, and invite trainers from the base game to help you.
