Partner Pokémon: Mudsdale.

Mudsdale's appearance:Mudsdale's large, bulky body is a chocolate brown in color. The hoofs and hair around it are orange and extends to the knees. Mudsdale's snout is orange in color. The mane is solid black with orange on the top of it. Multiple bunches of hair also come from the mane, similarly tipped with orange at the end. Its tail is black tipped with orange as well. Mudsdale appears a bit chubby, with a plump, cylindrical midsection and a thick, rounded rump. Hapu's Mudsdale is male.

Mudsdale remains calm and unmoving no matter the situation. It mixes dirt with the saliva in its mouth to make a special kind of mud.

Mudsdale knows Mud-Slap, High Horsepower, and Tectonic Rage.

Mud-Slap: Mudsdale turns around and kicks up clumps of mud with both of its hind hooves at the opponent. Sometimes, its hind hooves glow orange before kicking up mud.

High Horsepower: Mudsdale stands on its hind legs as its body becomes enveloped in an orange aura. It then charges at the opponent and slams into them with great force.

Tectonic Rage: Hapu strikes a series of poses to build Z-Power. Mudsdale then stomps the ground with its front hooves, causing a fissure to open underneath the opponent, who then proceeds to fall in. Mudsdale burrows underground and rushes at the opponent before sending them flying with a full-force tackle. Afterward, Mudsdale emerges from underground and the fissure closes.

Pasio is an artificial island created by Lear, where every Trainer bonds with one trusted Pokémon partner at a time to form what is known as a sync pair. These sync pairs fight together in Pasio’s signature 3-on-3 team battles. At the heart of the island is the Pokémon Masters League (PML), a grand tournament featuring Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, Champions, and other notable Trainers from every region. To qualify, participants must defeat PML Leaders across Pasio and earn five badges while adventuring with their partnered Pokémon. Centra City is the island’s largest hub, hosting a Pokémon Center complete with a shop and café. Other major locations include the Battle Villa, a multi-floor challenge facility for endurance-based combat, and several specialized arenas scattered across the island. The most prestigious battleground is the Champion Stadium, where the final rounds of the PML are fought. Meanwhile, the Trainer Lodge serves as a social space where Trainers gather, interact, and strengthen their partnerships.
