"Let me think about whether there is anything I haven't brought with me. It should be gone..."

Xingye is clearing his luggage and will go to the airport to gather in the afternoon this Saturday. Then he will arrive at Paldea tomorrow morning, and then classes will start on Monday.

Hearing that he was going to other places to play, Gengar was also very happy and stuffed all his things into his stomach to make it easier to carry.

Sprigatito pulled on its belly and was very curious, but couldn't get in. Then Xingye picked it up and said, "I'm going back to my hometown."

"Meow~"

"By the way, your hometown is Paldea? Do you want to go there together this time?"

Xingye is quite curious, because Sprigatito must have been raised by someone before, but it was too edible, and then left. The reason for being too edible is Curse. Maybe we can follow along and investigate.

In response to this, Sprigatito waved his hand and answered quickly. Xingye understood the meaning and said it was the school.

There is only one Paldea that meets the conditions, and that is Naranja-Uva Academy. So Kitty was initially prepared for newcomers Starter Pokémon?

"It's difficult to investigate there. There are so many students coming and going all day long..."

Xingye shook his head helplessly. If it was simply raised in a place like Pokémon Day Care, it would be fine. The college is too big and no one knows where it picked up dirty things and ate them.

But let's talk about this later. After packing everything, he smiled and said, "Let's go to the airport. Let's buy some food there for lunch."

"Meow~"

After a moment, Xingye closed the door to Odd Jobs. This time he will not come back for at least two months, but Odd Jobs's work must still continue, whether online or offline, it is the same!

With his backpack, he rode Cyclizar and left Drifter District. He had already said all the greetings he should say. With Boss Slowking here, he was not afraid that someone would run into the house. There was nothing to worry about, except that he had to pay the rent even if he was not at home...

This time when I go to Paldea, all normal expenses are borne by the school, that is, travel expenses, food and accommodation, and other aspects have to be paid for by the students themselves.

Professor Kukui will not follow him, he still has some things to be busy with, but there will be someone to pick him up when he gets there, but he did not say who it is.

Soon Xingye arrived at the airport. After lunch, he met with Lillie and the others. As the squad leader, Selene will be responsible for leading the team this time.

While waiting for the remaining people to arrive, Lillie, who was still wearing the sailor school uniform today, was holding Vulpix. After seeing him, he smiled and said, "I can see that you are very much looking forward to going there."

Xingye nodded and responded with a smile, "Needless to say, who doesn't want to experience new things, not to mention as a trainer, new adventures, new Pokémon that have never been seen before, are all waiting!"

"Me too. I only learned about Paldea online. It is said that the college there has the largest collection of books in the world. I am looking forward to going there."

"You really like reading books..."

"This is a good habit!"

Lillie responded with a serious expression, and then asked in a low voice, "By the way... Hau'oli City, have you heard of that urban legend recently?"

"Oh... that, don't worry about it, there is nothing to be afraid of anymore."

"You really know, so..."

Before he finished speaking, all the students had arrived. Selene motioned for everyone to be quiet. Lillie did not continue to ask questions, and Xingye listened quietly.

"We are about to board the plane in an hour. There are some things that must be explained before that. After all, this is everyone's first time going to Paldea Region, including me..."

"Because this time we are studying there on behalf of the school and will spend two months there, so as students, if you don't understand something, you can humbly ask for advice, study hard, and have more relationships with the students there to increase your knowledge."

"But as a trainer, and also the trainer of Alola! We can't let them look down upon us. If we show our strength, whether it's fighting or training, we can't be compared with them!"

Students are students, and trainers are trainers. The two cannot be generalized at will. Others are naturally very clear about what Selene said.

Xingye feels that there may be excitement, maybe he will join in, and I can't help but look forward to it.

After continuing to explain some important matters, it was finally time to board the plane. All students boarded the plane in an orderly manner and headed for the long-awaited Paldea!

Cyclizar cannot be released on an airplane due to its size. However, this type of long-distance transportation is equipped with equipment similar to Pokémon Center to ensure Pokémon's physical recovery.

Xingye held Gengar and Sprigatito to prevent them from running around, and then sat by the window so he could watch the scenery. Lillie happened to be sitting next to him, so he could chat casually even when he was bored.

The destination of this flight is Levincia, which is the only place with an airport in Paldea.

Due to various factors such as geographical environment and Pokémon, it is not easy to build an airport. Alola is only available in Hau'oli City.

Xingye pulled out a Paldea travel brochure from behind the back of the seat in front. The cover was a front-on photo of the Naranja-Uva Academy, which was magnificent.

After opening it, there is an introduction to the ten scenic spots of Paldea. This is a very famous local scenery and a must-visit place when traveling.

"The highest peak of Paldea... Glaseado Mountain's gym trainer Grusha recommended it? I feel like I can go climb it, it's quite interesting."

Xingye was flipping through the travel brochure, while Sprigatito and Gengar were looking at it curiously and from time to time, as if they were choosing where to go.

Unconsciously, it was already midnight, the cabin was quiet and dark, and everyone had fallen asleep. Only he continued to read the manual, and searched and marked them one by one on his mobile phone.

He knew too little about Paldea. After he went there, he would definitely have to go to the library. There was no harm in doing more research.

At this moment, Lillie on the side opened her eyes slightly, as if she had not fallen asleep, and then she noticed the situation next to her.

"You haven't rested yet."

"It's too quiet and I'm not used to it."

Xingye responded casually, continuing to be busy with his own affairs and not looking at her.

When she heard this, Lillie was slightly startled. Thinking that Kabukicho had always been noisy, she seemed to understand. Then she smiled and explained in a low voice, "I can't sleep without holding something in my arms."

"Don't you feel safe?"

"Well..."

Lillie nodded lightly, then took out the Shiny Clefairy doll from the bag and held it in her arms. Vulpix was too cold to hold it, Rest would catch a cold. She had already won a prize before...

Holding the doll, she felt much more at ease. Then she asked curiously, "After you go there, what will you do next? Study hard?"

Xingye was busy with what he was doing, but still responded casually, "Let's stay a few days to adapt to the environment, and then decide what to do next."

Seeing that he still had this attitude, Lillie shook his head and stopped disturbing him. He said, "You should go to bed early. The plane will arrive at almost dawn, so I'll go to sleep first."

"Hmm."

Xingye responded with a slight hum and continued busy with his own affairs, but after a while, he felt as if something was pressing on his right shoulder.

He came back to his senses, subconsciously turned his head to look, and was slightly startled. He didn't expect that Lillie accidentally leaned on his shoulder after falling asleep. The girl's long golden hair fell naturally downwards. From such a close distance, he could even feel a fragrance.

"Hello..."

Xingye looked around and saw that no one seemed to notice, so he was about to push her away and continue to go about his own business.

But then she suddenly noticed that the doll she was holding in her arms seemed to be the one she had pointed her out of the claw machine.

"You actually still carry it with you..."

Xingye was a little surprised. Looking at the smiling expression of the other party who was sleeping soundly, he still put his hand down without pushing it away or waking him up.

"Forget it, it won't bother me anyway, but this angle is good, just take a photo and show it to her when she wakes up..."

Time continued to pass, and soon a ray of sunlight passed through in the morning, dispersing the darkness, and the plane began to descend. Looking from the window, a coastal city full of technological atmosphere gradually appeared in the field of vision.

Levincia finally arrived. After waiting for the plane to land, all the students were neatly organized and left the plane very excitedly.

Only Lillie pulled down the brim of his hat, lowered his head, hugged Vulpix, and walked behind quietly and low-key.

When she woke up, she saw the photo sent to her by Xingye. Fortunately, the other party said that it had been deleted and had not been circulated, otherwise she would be really embarrassed to see anyone.

After Xingye smiled and apologized, he walked not far away from her and observed the scenery of Levincia. Unfortunately, there was nothing to see from the airport.

The air here is much humid and the temperature is lower than that at Hau'oli City. It was a bit unfamiliar when I first arrived.

But the Wingull and Wattrel soaring in the sky make people impatient to start adventure on this land.

Gengar looked around curiously. This was the first time it had come to such a far place, but for Sprigatito, this place was too familiar...

A group of people were led by Selene to the airport lobby. From a distance, they saw a man in a suit holding a sign that read Alola. It was obvious that the man was the one who came to pick them up.

The other person has white hair parted in the middle, looks a bit older, has a gentle temperament, like an old gentleman, but is full of strictness.

"Alola~"

Selene, as the representative, stepped forward to say hello to the other party, and the other party also responded with "Alola~" to show respect for the custom, which surprised everyone.

But the next second, the other party put down the sign in his hand, pushed the frame, put his hands behind his back, and introduced himself with a smile, "I am Clavell, the principal of the Naranja-Uva Academy. Welcome all the students of Alola Pokémon School to study in our school!"

"Eh?!"
