What If Ash was in Pokemon Horizons?

Welcome to Blueberry Academy!

Ash tightens his grip on the steering wheel, Blueberry Academy appearing in the distance. Roy enters the room, "Doing good, Ash!" he praised.

"Thanks," Ash smiled, "Still getting used to steering, usually my Pokemon fly me around everywhere."

"Well, looks like you've got the hang of it now!" Roy pointed out.

"Well, looks like we're in for a steady landing-" The ship suddenly jolts as it splashes into the nearby waters, almost as if the bottom of the ship had tackled something dense. The boys are veered off-balance, Roy even falls over.

"What was that?" Mollie yelled from another room.

Ash chuckled nervously, "Looks like I still need time to get the hang of this..." He quickly veered the ship upward.

The five trainers hop off the ship and begun walking through the entry ways and seeing a man dressed in white and blue standing alongside the Unova Champion, a familiar face to the World Monarch.

"ASH!" Iris ran to her old friend and tackled him into a hug. "Congrats on the being the back-to-back World Monarch!"

"Hey Iris!" Ash hugged back, pointing towards his new friends. "This is Liko, Roy, Dot and Ult. Guys, this is my friend Iris."

"Still can't believe you're friends with a Champion..." Liko said in awe while Ult perked up.

"Isn't he the strongest trainer in the world? Pretty sure it comes with the job."

"It's nice to meet you! Iris exclaimed, "I knew Ash since he was a little kid!" she smirked as Ash began to seethe. Iris pointed to the man, "This is Director Cyrano."

"It's a pleasure to have you all attend our academy, especially you, Mr. World Monarch."

Ash and Cyrano shook hands "The plessure's all mine!" Ash exclaimed.

A girl in pink exits an elevator at the end of the hall, walking towards the drop. "Ah, here she is." Cyrano said, "This is Lacey, she'll be showing you around.

Lacey suddenly quickened her pace once she spotted Ash, dashing towards him and holding his hands in glee. "Ohmygosh! Ash Ketchum, World Monarch, I'm so glad you're here! My daddy won't stop talking about the battle he had with you, he was so excited when you beat Leon last year! He keeps saying he wants you to come back for a rematch!"

"Your dad?" Ash asked.

"Ash, meet Clay's daughter." Iris said.

Ash's jaw dropped, "HUH?! But you're as old as us! But, I've never seen you!"

Lacey smirked "Ding! Ding! Ding! That's because I spent most of my time at school! I only go back home to Driftveil City during breaks."

Cyano walked off as Lacy led everyone into the elevator, the group submerge into the ocean, yet instead of seeing nothing but aquatic life when those elevator doors open. They see themselves inside of a large dome containing four different sections of land, the Pokemon wildlife fitting each quarter.

"And here's our Terarium! We have four different biomes for all we need to learn." Lacey explained before looking up to a repair team patching a crack on the room. "Don't worry about that, there was an earthquake just now."

Ash and Roy eyed each other, knowing it was, in fact, not an earthquake that cracked the glass.

"What's that up there?" Liko asked, mesmerized by the hexagon object hanging from the roof.

"That's the Terarium core!" Lacey explained. Though Liko couldn't help herself from staring, ignoring Lacey's words.

The group ventured throughout the Terarium, coming across Nemona and Ann battling on a battlefield.
