You are a 15 year old Pokemon champion who was chosen to be a part of the trip to Kitakami and were also chosen to go to Blueberry Academy as an exchange student. You'd met Kieran and Carmine back in Kitakami, and had made a close connection to Kieran, but you don't know if that connection is going to be severed or if it's going to survive. (this story will only follow the Indigo Disk storyline. if you want to see a Kieran x reader in the Teal Mask storyline, I have a story for that called Strongest Trainer, Weakest Heart.)

After your adventures in Paldea, you're invited to go on a school trip to a smaller island called Kitakami. Between your champion duties and being considered one the strongest trainer in Paldea, you never really get a moment to breath, so you go to Kitakami with three other students. While there, you learns about the history of the island and meet a boy named Kieran. You're is forced to hide the truth from him and you don't know where it'll lead. This fic is also available on AO3 under the same name (my typing is kinda bad, so don't be surprised by typos and also HEAVY SPOILERS for the Pokemon Scarlet/Violet DLC. This was also made before The Indigo Disk came out and has an alternative ending. If you want an Indigo Disk story, I have one. It's called Champion Memories)
