When we get to the top of the stairs, we finally get to the university building. At the entrance hall, we can see a lot of books around the area. Lillie seems to be excited as she looks around.

Nemona says, "Here we are, Ash and Lillie! Welcome to Narauva University! This here is the entrance hall! You can sign up for all kinds of classes at the desk behind me, and those halls off to the sides lead to different parts of the school. It's totally big enough to let loose and battle in here, but for some reason, they banned Pokemon battling in the main entrance."

"Maybe they don't want to destroy the books around here?" Lillie asks.

Just then, Clavell arrives and he says, "Master Ash, Miss Lillie, and Miss Nemona. How did you find your first school commute?"

"It sure is a blast." I say. "This place looks amazing."

"I have to guess that Miss Nemona must have given you quite an adventure. Not that I was expecting any less from our Champion-ranked student council president."

"Well, I know how to look after my friends! Right, Ash, Lillie? But speaking of which... we saw some of those Team Star kids in town, Director!" Nemona says.

"You did?! Where?" The director seems shocked to hear about this.

"It was down the stairs from the front gates. They were hassling this kid with an Eevee backpack." I say.

"That's quite the news. Are they still to be found out there?" He asks.

"Actually, Ash flexed on them and ran them off." Nemona says.

"You don't say... Of course, it's a fine thing to try to help a fellow student, Master Ash... but you might wish to show a bit of restraint as you find your feet here at our academy."

I lower my head and says, "I'm sorry... I'll be careful next time."

"And, Miss Nemona, do remember that the school's staff is here to resolve any such troubles." Clavell says to her.

"Uh... Righ! Yes sir, Director!" Nemona flinches a little.

"A child with an Eevee backpack, you say... I suppose that might have been Miss Penny." Clavell adjusts his glasses. "I'm relieved to hear she's come to class, at least. Ah, and Miss Nemona? If you'd be so good, do report to Mr. Jacq about this Team Star business. As your homeroom teacher, he should be kept apprised of all such goings-on."

"You got it, sir." Nemona says.

"Ah, but look at the time. You two had better hurry along - class will be starting soon."

"Starting soon? So we still have class this afternoon?" Lillie asks.

"Yeah, we have the Pokemon Biology class at 3 pm. That's Professor Jacq's class." Nemona says. "And we can show you the classmates there."

Lillie and I smile as we all head to the classroom, and Nemona decides to inform Professor Jacq first before letting us enter.

"Good morning, Mr. Jacq!" I can hear the students in the classroom calling to him.

"Hello, hello, everyone. We have some exciting news this afternoon. Who wants to hear it?" Jacq asks.

After hearing some noises, I hear the teacher says, "I suppose I should have told you sooner, but we have two new little friends joining our happy homeroom as of today. All right! You two can come on in!"

Lillie and I walk into the homeroom, and a lot of students recognize us and I can hear some voices.

"That's the World Monarch!" "No way! He's our new classmate? We have a World Monarch in our class!" "And that girl is the daughter of the president of the Aether Foundation!" "You mean the biggest charity organization that helps poor Pokemon?"

"All right!" Jacq quiets them and says, "Could I trouble you two for a few words introducing yourselves?"

I decide to start and say, "Hello everyone, my name is Ash Ketchum, and this is my partner Pikachu. I'm sure that some of you might have recognized me, but I hope that we can become friends and battle each other to the fullest."

Lillie says, "And my name is Lillie Aether, and this is my partner Snowy, she's an Alolan Vulpix. I really like Pokemon and like Ash, I hope to become friends with you and study together."

"Looks like everyone's eager to get to know the two of you, Ash and Lillie." Jacq says. "All right, then. Who wants to be the first to ask our new friends a question?"

A student raises his hand and asks, "Can I ask Lillie a question? What's your favorite thing about Pokemon?"

Lillie say, "I think all of the Pokemon are cool, it is really fun to get to know all of them and learn more about them."

The next one to ask is Nemona, of course, she asks, "You went to all the trouble of enrolling here, so spill, Ash. What do you hope to get out of it? You must have some kind of dream, right?"

"It's obvious. I have been traveling for all these years, and my dream is the same. I want to become a Pokemon Master." I say.

"You will be! We're going to get so strong by battling and learning together!" Nemona smiles.

"Well, thank you for telling us a bit about yourself, Ash and Lillie. I'm Mr. Jacq. I teach Pokemon Biology here at the academy, and I'm also your homeroom teacher. Lillie, your seat is next to Nemona in the first row, while Ash, you'll be sitting with Drandon in the second row."

We nod as we take a seat, and my classmate, Drandon, says, "Ash, right? It's nice to know you."

"Same here." I say.

"All right, you ragamuffins. Be nice and friendly to our new classmates!" Jacq says as we finally start the class.

Two hours later, we finally finish the class and Drandon decides to introduce all of the classmates here in the class. Everyone here is very nice and some of them want my advice on how to become as strong as me, and Lillie, she is also getting along with her friends around the area.

"Hey Ash, Lillie. Do you know that after a week, the school is going to start the Treasure Hunt?" Drandon asks.

"The treasure hunt?" Lillie asks.

"Yeah, it is a project that wants us to find our treasure in the school." Drandon says, "My treasure is to become the best Flying and Dragon Type trainer in the world."

"That's amazing." I say. "I'm sure you'll be able to do it."

"Thanks." Drandon says. "Since it is almost dinner, do you want to join us at the cafeteria?"

"Sure. Let's have some food to eat." I say.

Drandon's friends are also excited to meet, there is Reisa, who comes from the Hoenn Region and wants to become a Top Coordinator, and there is also Luke, whose dream is to learn more about the Terastallize phenomenon.

I turn to Lillie and ask, "How do you think of this school?"

"It is really amazing." Lillie says, "It is very different from the Alola one..."

"Yeah, more students and more advanced classes." I chuckle. "The teaching board is digitalized as well."

"So the two of you go to the same school in the Alola Region?" Luke asks. "How is it there?"

"It is very great, the school is close to the sea and it really gives us some calming feelings." I say.

"Wow... that sounds amazing. I really want to check out the region." Reisa says.

Once we arrive at the cafeteria, we meet Arven there. Arven notices us and smiles, "So we meet again! Ash and Lillie, right?"

"Nice to see you again, Arven." Lillie says.

"You two have been very popular around the school. The World Monarch and the daughter of the Aether Foundation." Arven says.

"Yeah... I guess." I smile.

After introducing Drandon, Reisa, and Luke to him, he decides to sit with us as we chat. "I normally wouldn't even bother showing up for class, but I came all the way to school today just to talk to you two - our new celebrities. Can you two help me so I can make my dream a reality?"

"What's your dream?" I ask. "Can you tell us about it?"

"Well, this might come as a surprise, but the fact is, I'm all about that picnic life: the great outdoors, the perfectly prepared sandwiches, all of it. Not half bad at cooking either, I can tell you. Right now I'm researching new recipes that'll help Pokemon feel better. Real health food, see."

He shows a book with scarlet and violet covers. "I found this book the other day, and it had a section about these Herba Mystica things..."

"Herba Mystica?" Drandon asks.

"Basically, they're some kind of special herbs that heal up any Pokemon as soon as it eats them!" Arven says. "Now, there are a total of five different types of Herba Mystica, based on what I read. Just taking a little lick of them once they've been powdered will get your blood flowing, provide nutrients, and prevent aging - it'll even boost the immune system. These herbs seem like they're the real deal. Only found here in Paldea - and rare to boot!"

"Wow..." I say.

"But this book says that they're all guarded by Titan Pokemon, meaning that it's gonna be pretty tough to try to grab even a few sprigs. 'Cause, see, Titans are - Well, I think they're gotta be... things like this!"

When we see the Titan Pokemon, I gasp and says, "Hey, Lillie... isn't that just like..."

"I know... we have similar things in the Alola Region, they're called the Totem Pokemon there. So I guess that this region has something similar to this." Lillie says.

"But what is that? Monsters of Aera Zeo? Are those mysterious Pokemon?" Luke asks.

"It doesn't seem to tell us more about them... but that picture... it looks just like a Donphan, right?" Drandon says.

"You're right. But I don't think Donphan has those spikes... because I have one after all." I say.

Arven closes the book and says, "I really want to get those herbs for myself, but I'm not very good at Pokemon battles. I also don't have any friends with strong Pokemon to lend me a hand, either...And I'd never hear the end of it if I went crawling to that student council girl..."

"So you want me to help you because I'm this World Monarch kind of thing, right? I did have some experience in handling Totem Pokemon, so I have to guess that this is going to be very fun." I say.

"You're right, it will be fun to see what they look like." Reisa says.

"Then I'll register the places where it seems there might be Titans in your map app for you." After giving us the information, I see that there are 5 Titans and each of them is a different type. There is the Stony Cliff Titan which is Rock Type, Lurking Steel Titan which is a Steel Type, Open Sky Titan which is a Flying Type, Quaking Earth Titan which is Ground Type, and False Dragon Titan which is Dragon Type. There are some pictures, but they all look blurry as I don't know what those are.

"Let it stew a bit, and we can get more into the details later. And in the meantime, you can have these." He gives us 5 bags of stardust, one for each, and he decides to leave after finish eating. "Give the idea some serious thought! Please!"

"Sure." Then the five of us decide to talk about those Titan Pokemon and thinking what they are like.

And here is a new chapter, as you can see, Ash and Lillie are now getting along with new classmates, and three of them are of course my OCs, and they are going to take turns traveling with Ash and Lillie in the region. I hope you like this chapter.
