The official Pokemon YouTube channel has posted a video detailing the story of Pecharunt. This video digs a little deeper into the history of Kitakami, which is the region that came with the Teal Mask DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
You can watch the video here:
The story follows Pecharunt, which is a Pokemon that can create something called Binding Mochi. It “draws out the greed” of those who eat it, and Pecharunt can bind these people to it. The old couple Pecharunt lives with eventually asks it for a set of masks, and it, along with some Pokemon it tamed, go on to fight Ogerpon. The player could hear something like this story through The Teal Mask, though a slightly altered version.
Pecharunt’s story draws heavily from the legend of Momotaro. This was evident in the designs for the Loyal Three, which resemble a dog, a pheasant, and a monkey, respectively. Momotaro also used kibi dango to gain their loyalty, much like how Pecharunt turns them into its allies through its Binding Mochi. Finally, both Momotaro and Pecharunt go to fight an ogre.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are readily available on the Nintendo Switch. You can also download the Teal Mask and the Indigo Disk expansions via the eShop.
