When we were still enjoying the views of the land of Kitakami, we received a phone call from Director Clavell!
We just had a school tour with people from the Blueberry Academy! And we heard so many exciting things from that place!
Oh my! We were told we got a chance to visit Blueberry Academy as an exchange student!
I was so surprised too! But I am also really excited to go to the Blueberry Academy!
If we are going to represent the Naranja Academy, I should go back to our school uniform!
Time to change back to my original hairstyle as well!
I think we are looking good and sharp!
I can't even wait a day to talk to the Director from the Blueberry Academy!
I wanted to go to the Director Office, but we were stopped by a mysterious man in white suit!
Well, Director Clavell arrived just in time! We almost got taken away by this man!
What a coincidence! The man in white suit was actually the Director of the Blueberry Academy anyways!
Well, I'm delighted to meet and thank Director Cyrano in person!
We were picked for the study tour last time because of good luck, but I don't assume it's luck again for this exchange program, right?
We were actually recommended by Carmine for the exchange scheme! I need to thank her later too!
Of course, I would not turn down this precious opportunity to visit the Blueberry Academy!
Even Director Clavell encouraged me to go!
Our Treasure Hunt has never stopped, and it's time for my treasures to hunt!
We followed Director Cyrano to the Blueberry Academy! Time for a new journey!
It took a long plane ride, but we finally arrived at the Blueberry Academy we have been hearing so much about!
The Blueberry Academy is so different from the Naranja Academy! For one, Blueberry Academy is built underwater!
And second, this place is filled with the blue color! Seems like Director Cyrano really likes this color!
As a fruit lover, I do wonder why this place is named after blueberries!
The name was actually meaningful in the language of flowers and fruits! I say I already really like this place!
That clear explanation was offered by someone named Lacey!
Director Cyrano introduced me to Lacey, and it seems like I already made my name among students studying in the Blueberry Academy!
As expected, Lacey is actually one of the students studying here, a second-year one too!
I do notice Director Cyrano tends to not remember things in general.
In fact, I also think that Lacey would be a good guide to introduce me to things around the Academy!
Isn't Lacey a brave one? She dares to talk to Director Cyrano like that, and he didn't mind at all!
I guess that was supposed to be light-hearted, and Lacey gladly picked up the responsibility to show me around!
We took a few steps into the Academy, and I already noticed a battle court!
As we heard from Kieran and Carmine, the Blueberry Academy puts a great focus on Pokemon battling!
Students even battle at the entrance! That sounds like a great place to be!
Lacey told us another cool feature in the academy: wild Pokemon terastallize.
Well, it wasn't anything too crazy for us, but I'm glad to see the fun of Terastallization spreading around the world!
And the Blueberry Academy even has advanced technologies to control Terastallization!
The more I find out about the Blueberry Academy, the more excited I get!
Talking about battling leaves me itching for some actual battling! And Director Cyrano suggested me to battle Lacey!
The Elite Four? The League Club? All I gathered is that Lacey is one of the strongest trainers around!
Woah! Lacey's father is a Unova Gym Leader! Though it seems like Lacey does not want to disclose that information, oops!
Well, I don't want to turn down the Director's offer either, so I'm glad to battle Lacey!
I've not tried Double Battles that many times, but I'm willing to try them out, if students in the Blueberry Academy like them so much!
We started our first battle at the Blueberry Academy, and our first Double Battle since so long!
Lacey sent out Plusle and Minun, while we had Raspberry and Cantaloupe!
And I'm representing Naranja Academy and Paldea! I'll try my best too!
Raspberry started the battle with a Sleep Powder to put Minun to sleep!
Minun did not get to do anything because of that!
Plusle went for Discharge, which did not affect Minun thanks to Volt Absorb! What a well-thought strategy!
Luckily for us, Cantaloupe is immune to Discharge too! And Raspberry was the only one to take damage!
Cantaloupe struck Plusle with a super-effective Headlong Rush!
We didn't have much of a strategy going on, so we just went with the basic type weaknesses!
Unfortunately, Cantaloupe lost some defenses, but Plusle was gone in one hit!
We broke Lacey's Plus-Minus combo, and she sent out Excadrill next!
Minun was still asleep after all that!
Excadrill went and drop some Rockslides on us! That hurt a lot! Excadrill is a strong Pokemon!
For strong Pokemon like Excadrill, an effective strategy is to lower their Attack with Charm!
That Rock Slide was not very effective on Cantaloupe, but it was enough to make her flinch!
Excadrill went for another Rock Slide, which still did so much even after Charm!
Raspberry went down, but he did a lot already!
While Minun was still sleeping, Cantaloupe went for Headlong Rush!
Headlong Rush was more than enough to knock Minun out, though we had yet another round of Defense drops!
Lacey only had Excadrill left, and we sent out Avocado to finish the job!
Excadrill went for Iron Head this time, and Avoacdo took the hit quite well!
Unfortunately, Avocado flinched from that Iron Head!
Cantaloupe went for Headlong Rush yet again, hitting Excadrill for a super-effective hit!
Excadrill is a bulky Pokemon, but it couldn't stand against Cantaloupe's strrong hit!
Our first battle at the Blueberry Academy was a victory! Though we may need to think about more Double battle strategies!
