Just when players think they have reached the end of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, the game throws another curve Pokeball by revealing a secret ending. This hidden end may fill in all of the gaps left behind in the game’s original story.
I discovered this secret ending by happenstance while trying to fill my Pokedex – and I am so glad that I stumbled onto it. I certainly didn’t have any idea something like this was hidden in the game. and the location was one I didn’t think I would go back to once I was done with that area. It’s a good thing I had to go back to complete one of Perrin’s quests.

Scarlet & Violet players will need to complete the Indigo Disk DLC and will need both Terapagos and Briar’s Book to unlock the secret ending. Players will also need to put Terapagos into their party. After the credits roll following The Indigo Disk, players will get a notification to visit Briar in her classroom. There she will give up a copy of her new book.

Once both Terapagos and Briar’s Book are obtained, head to the Crystal Pool in Kitakami Village. Go to the bit of land that juts into the pool right next to the bridge. The secret ending will trigger once players get close to the water. There, a surprise waits – one I certainly wasn’t expecting.

If players take the time to find and read the documents left by the Professor, they will discover a journal entry at the entrance of the depths under the Area Zero base. This entry mentions the Professor meeting a child at a place that smells of sulfur after somehow being summoned. They mention the child giving them a white volume. This page ultimately insinuates that players must bring Briar’s Book to the Crystal Pool. It is the only hint of the secret ending that players can find.
After obtaining either the Scarlet or Violet Book after meeting the Professor, if the book is used in the inventory, the character will be able to hear the Professor speak to them for a brief moment, establishing that the time travel connection is still open.
