"Good Morning everyone." Diantha says into the microphone after coming on the stage before pausing for a moment.

"Today we have 2 special announcements to make. First of all it gives me great pleasure to tell all of you that starting from today evening for a period of 3 days our prestigious institution will be a home for not only you but some very special guests from the Pokemon school in the Alola region. Several students and elders will be visiting our prestigious institution in order to promote and strengthen inter-region Pokemon culture and bonds." Diantha says.

"The Alola region!" Malva exclaims in surprise.

"Yes the Alola region. A region famous for different type of Pokemon and Z moves and much more." Oak says.

"Do tell more." Grace says.

"Well the delegates who are coming to visit all are associated with the Pokemon school whose headmaster is my cousin Samson Oak. It will be a good thing to see him after all these years but I do hope he has culled that irritating habit of his to imitate Pokemon." Oak replies.

Both Delia and Grace nod to each other but they look at Ash and Serena and get surprised to see them not looking excited at this news.

"What's the matter Ash Serena? Something wrong?" Delia asks in a worried tone.

"What? Nothing like that. Everything is fine." Serena replies.

"Then why are you not excited to hear about this news. Does it not excite you?" Delia asks causing both Ash and Serena to get awkward.

"Well we both have learnt how rein in our emotions and not express them without any specific need to express them." Ash replies after a moment of thought.

Both Delia and Grace don't look convinced but they decide to ignore it.

(Back on the Stage)

"As KIP students I expect the highest level of behaviour and every courtesy accorded to our guests. Over the days they are here there will be guest lectures about the Alola region, Alolan Pokemon, Alolan culture and most importantly Z moves." Diantha says as some murmurs can be heard in the crowd.

"Furthermore I have a second announcement to make. In a week's time the Tri-School Pokemon Tournament will begin. For those who don't know. The Tri-School Pokemon Tournament began 20 years ago when the 3 top Pokemon Institutions were created ,namely the Kalos Institute of Pokemon, Opelucid Unova Pokemon Academy and the Kanto School of Pokemon, the competition was created where trainers from these 3 institutions will clash in Pokemon battles every 5 years where the winner will be given the Tri-School Pokemon Tournament Trophy." Diantha says as the murmuring becomes more and more intense.

"What's more important is that anyone can participate. But the competition will be tough. The rules will be decided once the representatives of the schools meet. Even though this is not a Pokemon league but be warned. The competition will still be equally tough if not more. You mettle will be tested, your ability to adapt to the situation seen and your ability as a trainer exhibited in front of the entire world. Whoever wishes to compete will need to register at Prof. Sycamore's laboratory within 5 days time. Once all the participants are confirmed then the rules and the format of the matches will be told accordingly. Thank you for your attention and now it is time for you to get back to your classes." Diantha says before walking away.

"I don't know with Ash and Serena here does any of us stand a chance?" Paul asks as everyone goes silent.
