Art is made by me! This is the oc I use in this story ehe

"Welcome to Paldea, Miss Y/N." I heard from behind me. I quickly turned around to hearing my name and was faced with an old man with short white hair. He wore a reddish-orange suit with pokeballs in the pockets, along with white pants, glasses and shoes. "I am director Clavell, it truly is a pleasure to have you attend Naranja acadamy! I am glad you chose to study with us after completing your island challenge back in Alola."

"Oh- Uh, thank you for giving me this opportunity." I manage to say. I really wasn't expecting the director himself greeting me at the airport. 

"You have come at the perfect time. You see, our school's treasure hunt is starting in a few days." He explained, adjusting his glasses and looking down at me. "We give students the opportunity to travel Paldea and create their own adventures. Whether it be to challenge gyms or to fill your pokedex, your treasure is what you want it to be."

My eyes glimmered, seeing as this was the perfect opportunity to just go to the crater and catch the pokemon I need. It would all be done quickly and I would get my pokemon back. "Wait, so I can go ANYWHERE in Paldea? Do anything I want?" 

"Yes.. Well.." The director paused. "You can't do anything illegal, that should be obvious, and you can't do anything against the school rules. One of which is going into Area Zero, but anywhere else is fine!"

Oh of course! This is perfect! Perfect, perfect, PERFECT! How the hell am I gonna get in there now? I'm not a troublemaker.. Oh Arceus, I really did think I this job would be easy but nope.

"Oh I wasn't thinking of going there, don't worry Director." I tell him. Deep inside, I was extremely upset. 

"Good, Here in Naranja academy, we give students a pokemon to get them started. You get to choose between three pokemon." The director explained, letting out three pokemon from their pokeballs. "Now, Miss Y/N. Choose wisely as you'll be with them for your stay here, and even your entire life." The pokemon on my left was a white duck with a jello looking Elvis haircut. It had a yellow beak and it used it's feather's to style it's hair. "That one is called Quaxly, a water type." 

Its like Elvis Presley and Quack put together.... wait.. I get it!

The one in the middle was a stubby little red lizard that stood up on two legs and had a beige face along with belly. It looked like it had cheese stuck onto it's belly and it had little derpy beady eyes. "This one is Fuecoco, a fire type"

The one on my right was a light green cat with darker green ears and fur. It's cute pink eyes complimented the rest of the pokemon. It's fur was clumped together to look like thick leaves, and that was pretty much it. "That last one is Spirigatito, the grass type."

Spirigatito.. It reminds me of my starter back in Alola. Incineroar, I hope you're doing okay with Guzma..

"I choose Spirigatito." I tell the director. I kneeled down to pet the cat and it happily accepted. He recalled the other two pokemon back into their pokeballs and gave me Spirigatito's pokeball.

"Very well then, please do enjoy your studies at Naranja academy. I will now escort you to the school building and show you you're dorm-room, as well as give you you're schedule and map." The director explained. He started walking and motioned for me to walk beside him, so I followed. "Do not worry, the walk isn't far. The school is actually quite close." I nod as a response. The next 10 minutes consisted of the professor explaining classes, teachers and other school related things. I was quite overwhelmed, as this school seemed very prestigious, unlike the trainers school back in Alola. Eventually, we arrived at the school.

Holy moly, what a big building..

"Yes, very impressive right?" The director boasted. I didn't realize I was staring at the building with wide eyes and an open mouth. "Come along now Miss Y/N, I shall show you you're dorm-room. That is where you will be staying during you're studies here." I continued to follow him inside the building. While he was guiding me, I could feel stares coming from every direction. I'm pretty sure from the students, maybe even a few teachers. Soon he stopped infront of a wooden door and unlocked it, giving me the key. "Welcome to your dorm, customize it however you want." I waltz inside of the room. To my right there was another wooden door, which I guess where the bathroom is. There was a small kitchen with green tabletops and cupboards. Right of the kitchen was a space where my bed was placed, along with a study desk and chair.

"Thank you sir." I thanked, turning back to face the Director who was smiling back at me. He then handed me a few papers.

"This is your schedule, along with a map of the school so you won't get lost. I really do hope you enjoy your stay here, Miss Y/N." 

"Thank you, again." And with that, the director turned around and left. I let Spirigatito out of it's ball and let it roam around the dorm room while I empty out my suitcase. It was a bit late at night, so I just put my uniform away and hopped into bed. Spirigatito followed and curled itself into a ball near my feet.

It really does remind me of Incineroar back when it was a litten...

I slightly tear up, but I wipe them away. I didn't want to be emotional here. I know I will get Incineroar back eventually, along with the rest of my team. I know it!

It has been a few days since I first arrived at the academy, and I was the talk of the town! Everyone wanted to talk with Alola's newest champion. Though I didn't mind the popularity and attention, I didn't really have any friends. People came to talk to me about life in Alola, but that's pretty much it. 

A bunch of students were gathered in the schoolyard, waiting for the Director to step on the stage and talk about the treasure hunt, though I kinda already knew everything since he told me on the walk to the school a few days ago. Next to me was a boy who wore a yellow vest thing over his uniform. He was a bit taller than me and he had long and wavy two toned hair. It seems he didn't want to listen either since he was reading this scarlet coloured book. I was looking over his shoulder, reading along with him. There was this article about magical herbs that were guarded by these 'titans'. I suppose I got kinda hooked because before I knew it, the Director had finished his speech and everyone was running to start their treasure hunt, including the boy. I didn't know what to do though, there was no way to get into area zero without getting into trouble.

Guess I'll have to find a different treasure..
