We follow the two Dragon Pokemon as we finally arrive at the lighthouse, and there is a boy standing in front of there, he is wearing a shirt with a blue vest, and he has a purple tie. He has a giant green backpack that I know well, Brock and Cilan usually carry those because they're for cooking.

"Why, that little..." When he noticed the two Dragons, he yells in anger, "What're you two doing out here?!"

"Um... are you okay?" Lillie asks, but he shoves her off.

"I'm not talking to you three. So back off." He says.

"Hey!" I step forward and say, "No need to be so rude toward us!"

Nemona says, "Wait, I know you... Aren't you Arven? You're enrolled in the Department of Food and Beverage Management of our university, not to mention you're the son of both Pokemon researchers, Professor Sada and Professor Turo?"

Sada and Turo? I don't think I have heard of those two from Professor Oak before, and Lillie seems to be sharing the same confusion with me.

"Doesn't matter who my mom or my dad is!" Arven yells at us. "The real issue here is what in the world these Pokemon are doing out here! And what is with this form they're in?!"

"We found them at the bottom of the cliff, they save us from a pack of wild Houndours." I say, still wary about the boy in front of him.

"See, we heard the strange cry, and we try to investigate, but Lillie and Ash fell off the cliff. The Pokemon saved him, but it seems like they wore themselves out in the process. they got kinda...slumpy afterward" Nemona says.

Lillie asks, "Haven't you seen them before? They looked totally different, and they are unbelievably strong!"

"Well yeah. As they should be. But they can't fight while they're like this." Arven starts to talk calmly as he turns to the two Pokemon. "The form that both Koraidon and Miraidon take in battle... That's their true form."

"Koraidon and Miraidon? So they are the Pokemon's names? How do you know them?" I ask.

The two Pokemon are walking towards a door beside the lighthouse, but Arven says, "You can't go in. It's locked."

Then he turns to both Lillie and me. "I don't remember ever seeing you around. Are you perhaps going to the same university as me?"

"Well yeah, I'm Ash and this is Lillie." I say. "And they are our Pokemon Pikachu and Snowy."

Arven nods and says, "Koraidon and Miraidon aren't the sort of Pokemon that any old Trainer can hope to command. They're special."

"Can you explain it more?" Lillie asks. "I mean, both of them seem to trust us a lot."

Arven notices how the two Pokemon walk toward us and stand by our side, then he says, "So you think you're up to ordering Koraidon around? Then how 'bout I test your worthiness?"

Lillie says, "Sure, I'll battle you."

"Good, I've been feeling all out of sorts, so I'm gonna use this battle to blast these doldrums away!" He throws a Pokeball and sends out Skwovet. Lillie of course sends out Snowy to battle.

"These memories are leaving a bad taste in my mouth, and I want it gone...let's start off with Tail Whip!" Arven yells as Skwovet whips the tail to lower Snowy's defense stats.

"Snowy! Let's set up the Hail!" Snowy roars as it starts to snow, we are shaking a little since the temperature drops suddenly.

"Bite!" Arven yells as Skwovet charges at Snowy as it prepares to bite, but Lillie commands, "Aurora Veil!"

The veil is protecting Snowy from the bite, and then Lillie says, "Draining Kiss!"

Arven widens his eyes as Snowy uses the Fairy Move to drain the Pokemon's energy, and then Snowy finally beats it with a super-strong Ice Beam.

He holds his head and mutters, "Seems you know a thing or two about the battle."

"Excuse me? I have been a trainer for two years, I even challenge the League in Alola Region and even get in the Top 16." Lillie says. "Not to mention Ash is the World Monarch, who is capable of defeating all the Champions outside of Paldea."

"So you're the World Monarch? Here to attend the same school as us?" Arven asks.

"Yeah. But that was an awesome battle." I say.

"I guess I wasn't ever going to stand a chance using some Pokemon I'd only just caught..." Arven says after learning about the two of us. "But if you really think you can take Koraidon and Miraidon off my hands for me... you'll need these."

Much to our surprise, they are the Pokeballs for Koraidon and Miraidon, and both Lillie and I take them off his hands.

"So why do you have them?" Nemona asks.

"Just some stupid farewell gifts from my parents who never come back to me. Anyway, those are your problems now, not mine. Good luck." Arven then rushes away, and Nemona yells, "What? Oye! Can you not hear me or something? Fine! Be that way! But you better actually show up for school!"

I notice that Lillie is frowning, and I ask, "Something matters, Lillie?"

"I don't know why... but I think that Arven person was like me before I met you, Ash... my father disappeared and my mother seldom returned home because of her work..."

"So that's the reason why you want to battle him?" I ask again. "Because you think the two of you are similar?"

"Yeah..." Lillie says. The two Dragons come to us, and we decide to put them back into our Poke Balls.

"That Arven guy definitely knows more than he's letting on. Next time, he and I are battling! I'm gonna wring some answers outta him! But oh, right - we gotta climb the lighthouse! Can't wait to show you the view of our school!"

"Sure, let's go." I say.

When we get to the top of the lighthouse, we are in awe at the sight of a giant city in front of us. "Look over there! That's Mesagoza! And that huge building with the Poke Ball on it is our school!"

"It looks so tall..." Lillie says in awe and Snowy also yelps in agreement.

"By the way, it's gonna be so great having you in the same department, Ash, Lillie!" Nemona says.

"So you're also in the Department of Pokemon Battling? You know what, never mind. I almost forgot you're a Champion in Paldea." I say.

"I'm not the only Champion here in Paldea, you know." Nemona says. "But that can be explained later. But being in this department means that we can do a lot of Pokemon battlings! Of course, there are also classes that teach Pokemon and also other things."

"Eh..." I say as Pikachu finally jumps onto the fence. "Look Pikachu, isn't it awesome what you can see from up here?"

Pikachu squeals in agreement, and Lillie says, "There're mountains, forests, grasslands, and beautiful nature...though it is very different from Alola."

"And you know what's waiting for you all over these natural spaces? Tons of Pokemon! Consider this me officially telling you: Welcome to Paldea!" Nemona smiles.

"Thanks..." I say. "Now that the happy stuff is over... the school is pretty far away from here..."

"You're right, it would take a hike. Let's make it to Los Platos for starters. That's right on the way. Vamos, come on!" Nemona says.

When we get to Los Platos, we are surprised to see what the Pokemon Center here looks like. "This here is a Pokemon Center, since you've been around 8 regions, so I guess it is all the same to you, right?"

"Except that it doesn't look very outdoor-looking in the other regions... this is very odd because there're no interiors..." I say.

When I decide to buy some Poke Balls and Potions, he says, "Hello! We accept payment both in cash and in LP, which stands for League Points. One LP is worth 1 dollar."

"League Points?" I was confused, and Nemona says, "Oh, I see that this is not very common outside of Paldea, let me show you."

She takes out the Rotom Phone and shows the currency. "The League Points can be stored in your cellphone, I'll share some for you."

Then she gives us each 5000 LP, much to our surprise. As for Lillie, she is looking at a robot in front of her. "What is that?"

"Oh, that's the TM Machine, it can make TMs for you, which you can use to teach moves to your Pokemon. Though you need League Points and materials of Pokemon if you want to create them." Nemona says. "How about I show you?"

We nod as we see how Nemona makes TMs. "I have 5 Shinx Fangs, sometimes Luxray drops them to the ground and I just pick them up. And then I have 3 Tynamo Slime, which I got from the body of Eelektross... and Pikachu, do you mind giving me three of your fur?"

Pikachu nods as he tries to shake his body, and much to Nemona's delight, three furs manage to drop to the ground. "Thank you, Pikachu."

Then he places 3 Pichu furs into the machine. "And then I just need to pay 10000 LP."

10000 LP? That sure is a lot... And once she puts the League Points inside, we see that the machine starts to work, and eventually, a disc comes out of the spot. "Here, this is a TM for Wild Charge. This is for you."

"You've already given us 10000 LP and you also spend 10000 LP for a TM to give us?" Lillie asks, "You're so kind."

"I love Pokemon battling and I have a lot of ways to gain LP." Nemona says.

I hold the disc and say, "But to think that's how TMs are made... I see a lot of them back in the other regions, but never once did I get to know how it works... all I know is that after learning it just breaks..."

"Some in Unova, Kalos, Alola, and Galar won't break as well." Lillie says.

"Okay, now that we're done here, I'll buy some ice creams for you, there's a vendor of Sugar-N-Ice here in this place." Nemona says as she leaves.

As for Lillie and I, we are going to contact my Mom. Once my Mom is on the screen, she says, "Ash! Lillie! You guys finally arrive at the Paldea Region?"

"Yes, Mom. Paldea Region is so cool, though we haven't got to the school yet." I say. "We did talk to the director and he's pretty nice."

"I see." Delia says. "Professor Oak is also here, since he's doing a survey with the Pokemon that you owned."

"I just hope that they're not going to give him trouble." I sigh. "But that reminds me, Mom. Can you help me bring Arceus here? Because I want to ask him something."

"Of course. I'll give the Poke Ball of Arceus to you." Delia then rushes off as we take our Pokemon Box Link, it is a special tool that helps us transfer Pokemon from my home to my side. And once the Cherish Ball containing Arceus appears, I say to the phone, "Thanks, Mom."

"No problem, and Lillie, Ash might be rash sometimes and help me take care of him."

"You got it." Lillie chuckles and I pout. "Mom... I'm already a freshman in a famous university..."

"But you're still a baby to me." Delia chuckles, "Alright, I think I need to feed your Pokemon dinner, so I'll see you later."

"Bye, mom." I say as we decide to end the phone call.

And here is a new chapter, and as you can see, Lillie battles Arven and win, and now they are at Los Platos, I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be heading to Mesagoza.
