Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

"I have long admired your reputation, Mr. Xi Lan."

Although slightly hesitant, Nan Yin still extended her fingertips and briefly shook hands with the man.

Even if we don't know each other, it's good to exchange pleasantries and pleasantries.

The young woman was quite adept at understanding social etiquette and interpersonal relationships.

With polite words and humble manners on his face, Xi Lan's expression became increasingly warm, even somewhat eager.

"I imagine, being new here, you're quite curious about Blueberry Academy, which is mostly underwater... "

Despite having initiated the topic, the principal stumbled over his words and couldn't utter any more.

Fortunately, a calm and pleasant female voice rang out first, easing the former's embarrassment.

"Because it was built together with the underwater resource development plant, that's what the school motto says."

"That's right, that's exactly what I meant to say."

As Xi Lan dismounted, she glanced to the side and saw a young girl step out of the school gate and slowly walk in front of the group.

Her short, pinkish-purple hair cascaded down to her neck, her neat bangs partially obscuring her eyebrows, and her amber eyes harmonized perfectly with her delicate lips and nose, giving her an air of refined elegance.

"As expected of Purple Taro, and this one is—"

"Are you a guest?"

It was the first thing to do that was to ask the question.

"Yes, the breeder, Nanyin."

With a slight nod, just like before, Nan Yin gave a simple introduction and opened her arms to her own girl.

"And she is my friend, Korne."

A clear voice lingered in my ears, and a dignified posture with an upright back came into view. As our eyes met, the person in the eye was immediately surprised.

"Wow, it's the real Elite Four member and Gym Leader of the Carlos region!"

With her hands pressed together, covering her lips, Ziyu slightly widened her eyes, revealing surprise and joy.

"That's quite rare. Although I watched the Lucerne Tournament, I didn't expect even Principal Xilan to remember your names. Amazing..."

With one hand on her waist and the other supporting her chin, the purple-haired girl shook her head slightly as she pondered her thoughts, revealing an endearingly naive appearance.

She's a very refined young lady.

As Nan Yin gave her own evaluation, she was about to take another look when she felt the tightness of her right arm tighten slightly. Looking around, she saw that Ke Erni was holding her arm and was humming softly, perhaps with some dissatisfaction.

"Southern music..."

With her cheeks slightly puffed out and her eyebrows arched, she gently shook her arm, truly a wronged little hamster.

Surprisingly, it's quite cute.

Amidst his fluctuating thoughts, the principal opened his arms and solemnly entrusted the matter to him.

"Miss Nan Yin and her group are visiting Blueberry Academy. Zi Yu, if it's convenient for you, could you please show them around the academy?"

"Okay, Principal Xi Lan, please don't push all these things onto me next time. I think that's not a good idea!"

With her hands clasped together in front of her chest, making a cross shape, the purple-haired girl frowned and expressed her dissatisfaction to the person in front of her without any mercy.

"Of course, this doesn't mean I don't welcome Nanyin. Actually, I'm really looking forward to getting up close and personal with real superstars or masters of music venues. It would be an invaluable experience for me, so come this way~"

Abandoning her usual sternness towards the principal, Ziyu smiled, her lips curving into a radiant smile as she led the two inside.

With her unique personality and striking appearance, this young lady is sure to be a popular figure in the new generation.

Letting her thoughts wander, Nan Yin sometimes looked around and sometimes glanced at the nearby buildings as she approached.

Like a giant turtle submerged in water, with only its shell exposed, this academy is indeed quite avant-garde. Not only is it entirely blue-purple in color, but it is also divided into several areas by transparent screens.

The first thing that catches the eye is a spacious battlefield. At the same time, the girl also notices something unusual: the Taijing Pearl she was given is gradually replenishing its energy and returning to a usable state.

It's relatively normal for Padia to have this kind of phenomenon, after all, the origin of the crystallization is rooted there. But how can the Unova region, which is separated from it by an ocean, use a battle system that should be limited to specific regions?

Perhaps because Nan Yin lingered for a while, Zi Yu turned around and, following the girl's gaze, noticed the Tai Jing Bead placed at her waist, thus understanding the source of her confusion.

"Although I don't quite understand the principle, there are wild Pokémon in Blueberry Academy that can crystallize."

"That's right. Our school has actually invented a technology that can control the Taijing mechanism, and has applied it to the shaping of the ecological environment and the strengthening of the battlefield."

Xi Lan proudly introduced the unique aspects of the university, making no attempt to hide anything.

It seems, as Mr. Claver said, that to further understand terrestrial crystallization, one must indeed—

We've come to the right place.

P.S.: Sorry, sorry, I really didn't mean to drag this out for so long. I thought about the plot of Blueberry Academy for a long time before I figured out how to develop it.

In addition, I'm being pressured to update the new book, and my sleep schedule is also disrupted.

I hope everyone can trust me one more time. It wasn't intentional. I'll update properly until the end. *crying*

Chapter 202 Reunion and Nostalgia

As the elevator descended and passed through the long corridor, light reappeared in my eyes, and the narrow view suddenly opened up.

Like the sun breaking through the clouds, even though it is below the sea, all around is a vast plain, and if you look up, you can also catch a glimpse of the brilliant sunrise.

"here......"

With her lips slightly parted, Korni couldn't suppress her surprise.

Seeing this, Principal Xi Lan's smugness increased even more, and a smile even seeped out with her words and actions.

"This is the Blueberry Academy's underwater courtyard, the ecological dome. Although it's underwater, the projected walls and dome look exactly like the outside world, right?"

Listening to these words, Nanyin also observed the surrounding environment. The creatures and vegetation here were not illusions; whether it was the grass or the mountains, they were real objects.

Looking around, it doesn't feel like an academy at all; it feels more like being in a national park.

"The giant egg is divided into four different ecological communities. The temperature and humidity of each area have been carefully regulated to completely restore the wild ecology."

Ziyu added her own words at the right time, and although she was blunt, she still carefully supplemented the principal's statement.

Creating an ecological community by human intervention is undoubtedly a huge undertaking. Compared to a gentle and modest teacher, Mr. Xi Lan's temperament is more like that of an outstanding businessman.

However, Nan Yin didn't care about any of that; she went to Blueberry Academy simply to gain a deeper understanding of Tai Jing's true nature.

“Mr. Xilan, I have been to Parthia, so I am curious about what maintains the crystallization here.”

Driven by a thirst for knowledge, the girl asked directly.

"Look up, there is the ecological core that is responsible for taking care of the ecological giant egg. It incorporates a certain substance brought from Padia, so it can emit crystalline energy and achieve crystalline transformation at any time."

With one arm outstretched, Xi Lan pointed towards the emerald sphere hanging high above her forehead. She wanted to explain further, but was hampered by her own lack of knowledge.

"As for the specifics, I'm not too clear on that. I heard from Xiao Wei that you, Nan Yin Tian Wang, are here to seek the truth about Tai Jing Hua in order to better understand your Pokémon. If needed, you can go to Teacher Bai Lei Ya, who is in charge of most of these facilities."

Is he a hands-off manager?

Having silently assigned a position to the former, Nan Yin nodded slightly to express her gratitude.

"Thank you for your generous sharing, sir."

As the words faded, the classroom bell rang, growing louder as it approached, just reaching her ears.

"It seems class time has started, so I won't disturb you any longer. I hope you will enjoy your time exploring the campus."

Without pausing, Xi Lan turned around, put her hands behind her back, and left.

"The headmaster has finally left. This is a rare opportunity. Miss Nanyin, Miss Ke'erni, would you be interested in joining me to participate in some activities in the surrounding area?"

As if she had dropped all airs, Ziyu clasped her hands together, smiled, and extended an invitation.

"Then trouble you."

Nan Yin was naturally happy to accept the kindness of this girl of similar age, who was gentle and friendly.

"Come with me."

Strolling amidst the lush greenery, with vibrant flowers blooming along the way, and distant mountains bathed in frost and snow, a stark contrast to the early spring outside, one is struck by the sight of the surrounding landscape.

"Buyi!"

Itchy from the strong pollen, Sylveon sneezed and blew its nose. Perhaps realizing its lapse in behavior, the little beast quickly waved its ribbon and covered its nose tightly.

With a slight upturn of her lips, sensing the little guy's shyness, Nan Yin couldn't help but chuckle as she scooped it into her arms and placed it under her chest.

"Miss Nan Yin and this child have a really good relationship."

Upon seeing this, the pink-haired girl couldn't help but sigh.

The heartwarming relationship between trainers and Pokémon is also something she pursues.

"In fact, due to the environment, in addition to Unova Pokémon, there are also some special forms of Alolan Pokémon here."

Looking sideways at the slender branches of the coconut tree nearby, and then at the three-legged ground squirrel with braided hair, Ziyu introduced the two of them to the unique features of this area.

While strolling around, Nanyin also saw many students wearing blue and purple school uniforms. Some of them gathered together, listening attentively to the teacher's lectures in the wild, while others put their knowledge into practice, personally battling and fighting with Pokémon.

There were also discussions about the atmosphere and characters on campus, and when the pink-haired girl approached, the title of "Heavenly King" gradually emerged, showing surprise.

However, it is clear that not all of these terms refer to the girl alone.

"Blueberry Academy also follows the alliance system. Students with outstanding combat skills are honored as the Four Heavenly Kings within the school. As for me, I am also fortunate to have the support of my classmates and enjoy such a title."

Sensing the girl's gaze, Ziyu covered her lips, smiled shyly, and spoke with demure modesty.

This attitude actually made Nan Yin like her even more. To be honest, she didn't really like Principal Xi Lan's nouveau riche tone, but fortunately, the girl in front of her was understanding, meticulous and patient.

Without getting lost in thought, she soon saw the area made up of several colorful blocks.

"We've arrived. This is the central square of the academy. Everyone usually exchanges ideas or battles there. It's a very free place."

As mentioned earlier, the closer one gets, the louder the voices become, and the more people appear.

Their gazes toward the girl were filled with curiosity; those who recognized her immediately became excited, while those who knew less asked others for details.

"Are Nan Yin and Ke Er Ni going to participate in the match? Doubles is very popular at Blueberry Academy."

"No, we'll just look around nearby."

They still haven't let go of each other's hands, and as she and Ziyu talk, her blonde friend pulls her arm even tighter and closer, until they can almost hear each other's breathing.

It is precisely because she is aware of those feelings that Nan Yin feels so complicated.

Fortunately, the battle on the stage temporarily distracted them, and one of them seemed to be relatively familiar.

With his short, dark purple hair, neatly trimmed bangs, and clean-cut clothes, the boy, though not much taller, exuded more confidence and composure than before.

"Go, Wu Li!"

Judging from the cheers of the others, he was the timid child he had met in Beishang Township. After half a year apart, he was truly a sight to behold.

Nan Yin's gaze was somewhat cold, and Wu Li, standing on the stage, also turned his head to look. Upon seeing the girl, he immediately smiled, revealing the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

"Sister Nanyin, you've come to Grape Academy too!"

As the battle came to an end, he quickly jumped down, pulling his older sister up with him midway, and walked to the front of the three of them.

"Wuli, what are you doing? You're not even taking this match seriously."

The question was about to be uttered, but he stopped himself when he saw the silver-haired girl in front of him.

Her snake-like eyes narrowed, her raven-like eyelashes unfurled, and the slender beauty, her previous impatience vanished. She drew out the last syllable, asking earnestly and deliberately:

"Oh, it's Nan Yin. Long time no see! You must have missed me terribly, right?"

P.S.: In this storyline, thanks to Nan Yin's mediation and persuasion in Beishang Township, Wu Li did not become so extreme. Instead, he worked hard to become a trainer worthy of the little devil.

He is a normal child.
