This is part of our extensive guide to Pokemon Legends: Z-A

NOTE: I went with a male presenting character so my character's bestie will be Taunie. If you went with one of the more female presenting ones you'll be friends with Urbain instead.

You and the rest of Team MZ is sitting in a cafe fresh off of your friendly battles and Naveem showing off his new Mega Scrafty when a strange woman in a maid uniform appears asking for them.

She introduces herself as Lebanne of the Society of Battle Connoisseurs. Oh crap in a hat not these fools again. If you don't remember, the SBC were the grown adults harassing people and telling them the "proper" way to battle. It's basically Pokemon making fun of people that focus on maxing stats and using only certain teams for optimum results.

I'm told that Lady Jacinthe wishes for me and Taunie to attend the society's next gathering at a different hotel. But first, you need to stop dressing like a scrub so we need to head to the high fashion store, Boutique Couture, to the south.

Outside the store you'll talk to Asami, the Fashion Designer. She let's me know that if I'm worthy of wearing the clothes she designs, I'll get them for free. But to prove myself bet you can't guess what I have to do.

Yup. You need to have a battle. And you HAVE to win with a Mega Evolved Pokemon.

Asami the Furisode Girl uses just a Florges. Florges is weak to Poison and Steel. Once again, my Mega Mawile is loving it.

Upon winning you're given "an assortment of couture clothing."

Thanks, I hate it.

Anywho, now that I've gotten some fancy clothes, let's head to the Hotel Richissime on the top left of the map and head on in. Lebanne meets you and then takes you up. She takes you up to a floor that the SBC uses as a battleground. Taunie goes to look around and Canari and Gwynn see you and approach. Ivor is also here too.

Jacinthe finally makes an appearance, even getting her own theme music (who do you wanna bet my next opponent will be?). She states the goals of the group, to make trainers and Pokemon understand each other better, and talks about how Leon from Galar just visited them recently.

She then calls you and seven other characters you've fought before to the center of the floor. She announces the "Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe" that all eight of you are going to have to compete in. As the presentation continues, Taunie takes a call right in the middle of it from Vinnie about Rogue Megas. Taunie states that the two of us have to bounce because something urgent came up. The two of you leave but as you're heading through the lobby Lebanne urges you watch your backs from now on.

After leaving, Taunie says she needs to go help someone out but will meet y'all back at the hotel because Taunie can ALWAYS be trusted to secretly get into clandestine nonsense.

Anywho, let's head back to Hotel Z.

Upon arrival you meet up with Lida and Naveem in the lobby. Taunie shows up, saying she had to do something at the Prism Tower that definitely won't tie into whatever happens in the game's finale. But forget about that cause it's stategy meeting time!

You know the drill by now. We're about to find out all about some Rogue Megas.

There's a Froslass in Aymlis Park in the Bleu District with Naveem (which is dope because my Froslass has been waiting VERY patiently). An Alteria in Magenta Sector 4 with Lida. And a Venusaur in Jaune Sector 8.

Jacinthe reminds the group that they need to get stron...wait...when the hell? Yup, Jacinthe is just sitting at the table. For some reason it takes everyone FOREVER to realize that she's there despite them actively talking to her.

Now that that mess is done and you're properly done being haunted by Jacinthe, let's head back to the hotel to meet up with the crew.

As you're all gathered, suddenly a weird noise happens outside and Taunie, exhausted, goes to look. You step out to see what the noise was only to find Hotel Z trapped in the middle of a purplish Battle Zone with...oh no...Jacinthe's logo on the door.

Jacinthe's hologram shows up to welcome you all to the "Jacinthe Zone". She basically forces you to fight several opponents.

First Livia of the SBC, who uses:
