Ash's Paldea Story

Chapter 1 Arrival at Paldea

I was sitting on the plane heading towards a new region called the Paldea Region, after becoming the World Champion, my Mom decided that I am going to a university and getting a degree so that I will be able to achieve further as a Pokemon Master. Since I already defeat all of the Champions of the region, and thus I'm going to a new region, it will be just like the Alola Region, right?

"Ash... are you nervous?" Speaking of Alola Region, I am not going to the Paldea Region alone, as someone is also coming with me. She is Lillie Aether, my classmate in the Alola Region. You see, the school in Alola is great, but I guess the university in Paldea is for more advanced students. We were supposed to go there last year, but because I'm studying as an intern in Professor Cerise's Lab, Lillie is going with her family to search for her father. The director of the school is nice in that he even approved to let our application for the school a year later.

"I'm fine... So where was the University that we're going again?" I ask.

"We're going to Narauva University." Lillie says to me. "I can't believe you forgot it already."

"Yeah..." I laugh a little while I look at the invitation. "I wonder what we can learn in school...and I'm also excited to see new Pokemon."

Pikachu and Snowy are by our side, the airplane staff is kind enough to give us a seat so our Pokemon can sit on it. Pokemon actually was supposed to be in the Pokeballs for safety, but since I'm the World Champion, I guess they just let me off the hook.

The plane finally arrives, and both of us walk out of the airport as we gasp in awe. There are a lot of olive trees and beautiful flowers, I can also see some birds with yellow, green, blue, and white colors flying by.

"Hey, buddy, look! We're in the Paldea Region!" I turn to my first partner, and he also squeals in agreement.

Lillie says, "You're always excited to go to a new region, Ash."

"Can't blame me because I'm in a region that I've never been to before." I reply. "But by the way, I wonder where the school staff is..."

When we search around, we find a man with a scarlet jacket walking towards us. "You must be Master Ash and Master Lillie, yes?"

I ask, "So you're a staff from Narauva University?"

The man smiles at us and says, "Ah. Sorry for my delay in introducing myself. I am the director of Narauva University. You may call me Mr. Clavell."

Both of us and our Pokemon are surprised, he's the director of the university that we're going in? But more importantly... the director was escorting us instead of sending a staff member?

Lillie says, "The director? You came in person so that we can make it to school?"

"I'm responsible for the entire academy - especially since we have a World Monarch and the daughter of the famous Aether Foundation to enroll in our school. I assume you all get the enrollment documents?"

"We do." I say. "So should we go to the university now?"

Clavell says, "Before we head there, I have something that I want to show you, the airport here is hardly the place for it, please follow me."

Now I look around the place, we are in a place known as Cabo Poco, and the director manages to bring us to Poco Path so that he can show us something.

"Right then, dear Pokemon. Time to come out of your Poke Balls." I see that Mr. Clavell sending out three Pokemon, one is a green kitten Pokemon, one is a little red crocodile, and the last one is a white duck.

"Oh, my... are those the Starter Pokemon of Paldea?" Lillie asks in awe.

"We provide each student entering the university a Pokemon of their own. I'll ask you to choose which among these three you'd like to have as your partner." Clavell says.
