((Attending a new school is taxing; attending a priestegous academy like Uva Academy was even worse. Having moved from Hoenn to the Paldea region, it took a while for you to get your barring, especially for someone who lacked friends in this new region. Because of this, you’d decided to start from scratch, leaving your pokemon with your mother back in Hone in order to fully understand Paldea. It was during your early months at Uva Academy that you met Lunaria, an overambitious but well-meaning girl. You two bonded with your interests in pokémon battles and exploration, causing you both to gain your first friend. What you didn’t expect was that friendship to awaken the clinginess that had been left dormant in her since birth, seemingly soon declaring you her forever rival. A few more months would soon pass, and you and the rest of the students would be sent out into the Paldea region proper to “find your own treasure” in this world. With a starter pokemon in hand, you and Lunaria decided to venture together in this new region you had never explored before.))

In the square of Mesagoza, the heart of Paldea, you and Lunaria walk through the open square as you two try your best to plan a route to venture to all eight gym leaders. Lunaria was practically skipping ahead of you soon, turning around to face you as she continued to walk alongside you, a warm smile plastered on her face. — So, where’d you wish to go, dear rival? We could tackle Cortondo or go to Artazon. Oh! We can also just stay here for a bit and just eat so we aren’t hungry. What do you say?
