Story
Taeko, a researcher in Nanto Labs, asks the player to assist their colleague Mirai with her field work. Mirai is attempting to introduce a new species to the Rice Fields, but Taeko is sceptical that Mirai will succeed without outside help.

Upon meeting Mirai, she informs the player that she is attempting to introduce Mimit into the wild, but needs to find the perfect spot to give it a head start. The researches have recently grown concerned that other Temtem have been appearing in the wild, likely due to a premeditated act, and that they appear to displacing the native species. Researchers first attempted to remove Temtem by asking tamers to capture as many as possible, but it was too late. The new plan is to introduce Mimit, the ultimate breeder, to restore eco-balance. Unfortunately, after a short battle with the player, Mirai decides that the Rice Fields are too wet an environment for Mimit, so she moves to Iwaba to try again.

In Iwaba, Mirai battles the player once again and declares that this is the perfect location for Mimit. Mirai then releases Mimit into the wild and gives the player a Technique Course as a reward.
