Chapter 500 Blueberry Academy and the "Ecological Dome"
Sunday, May 8.
Blueberry Academy, located near the coast of the Unova region.
"Principal Xi Lan, why hasn't Teacher Yu arrived yet? Could there be a problem with the information? —"
Several figures had already appeared at the school gate in the early morning.
Among them, the girl with pink hair and a coat seemed particularly anxious, and looked at the middle-aged man next to her again to ask.
"—This is the fifth time you've asked this, Ziyu."
"But it's Teacher Yu who's coming, so it's normal for me to be worried!"
"Don't worry, President Yeci has already confirmed that Mr. Qingyu and the others have already set off from Padia and should arrive soon."
The man named Xi Lan, dressed in a white suit, shook his head helplessly and gestured to the other party with his eyes to put their minds at ease for the time being.
But halfway through her sentence, Xi Lan suddenly scratched her head and froze in place.
"Um—, Mr. Qingyu said he'd be arriving around what time? I told you before, didn't I?"
After being brushed off by Xi Lan, Zi Yu sighed inwardly.
I had thought before that it would be great if Ms. Yu could come to the Unova region for an exchange program, or even stay at Blueberry Academy to be their teacher.
But when that day actually came, I felt a little scared.
Because from the principal to the teachers at Blueberry Academy, they all seem rather unreliable.
So much so that I, a first-year student who had only been in school for half a year, had already become the principal's assistant, and often had to remind him of his schedule.
High EQ: The school atmosphere is free and easy. Low EQ: It's too unreliable!
If Teacher Yu were to see Principal Xi Lan's forgetfulness and Teacher Bai Lei Ya's sudden excitement, it would definitely leave a bad impression on him!
At that point, let alone Liu Yu-sensei being in Unova, he might even be scared into running away before he even gets there.
No, I don't want that kind of thing!
The thought that such a thing could happen filled Zi Yu with despair.
"I can understand your feelings. It would be very exciting to meet Teacher Yu."
The white-haired boy with black highlights next to the purple pole nodded solemnly.
"To discover a brand new evolution of Duraludon, it seems you're quite the expert when it comes to breeding Dragon-type Pokémon."
"I must learn a lot from him; perhaps it will help me understand dragons better."
There were four students present, including the boy who spoke, Du Ruo, and Zi Yu next to him.
They are the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Blueberry Academy Alliance.
(The Four Kings of Blueberries)
"Du Ruo, you—"
Zi Yu was speechless for a moment.
What she really wanted to say was, how could Teacher Yu possibly specialize in only one attribute? Of course, he's a master who dominates all attributes!
However, just as she was about to continue speaking, she suddenly noticed a pink wooden door that had appeared out of nowhere at the school gate.
This is the main gate of Blueberry Academy, so why is there a gate in the square?
And I don't think it was there just now, right?
Zi Yu frowned subconsciously, and was about to turn to ask Principal Xi Lan, who was resting with her eyes closed, when she saw the wooden door with nothing behind it suddenly open.
Aoba was the first to walk out. The scene on the other side of the door was not around Blueberry Academy, but rather looked more like an indoor area.
Following closely behind, Nemo, Pipa, and Peony also came out one after another.
The original student group was missing one person because Red said he wanted to return to the Kanto region first to conduct another round of training for the Kanto championship.
Peony hadn't actually planned to come over at first.
However, due to Nemo's strong invitation, she ultimately gave up her plan to return to Galar for the summer vacation and came with them to Blueberry Academy located on the Unova Sea.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Qingyu walked out and stood still as if nothing had happened. Only after confirming that the Anywhere Door had disappeared did she turn around and immediately notice the people standing at the door.
???
What was that just now?
Why did Teacher Yu suddenly arrive?
Not only Zi Yu, but everyone else at the scene was also stunned.
"Teacher Yu, what's wrong with you—"
Overwhelmed with curiosity, Zi Yu hesitated before speaking.
"What?"
Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction Ziyu was pointing before she realized what was happening.
"Oh, you mean the Anywhere Door?"
"It's nothing, just a free gift from a legendary Pokémon. It's quite convenient for traveling."
"So that's it, it's the god of space from the Sinnoh legends—"
Principal Xi Lan, who was equally shocked, finally came to her senses.
Although I didn't witness it firsthand, Qingyu's experiences in Sinnoh were so legendary that they made headlines all over the world.
Even though he doesn't watch the media much, he already knew about these things by watching Pocket TV.
If it's that dragon named Palukia who wields the power of space, then it seems quite reasonable.
Qingyu: ?
Upon hearing Principal Xi Lan's words, Qing Yu subconsciously raised an eyebrow.
Is it possible that I'm referring to Palkia's boss, the creator god Arceus?
However, it's not a big deal, and it doesn't seem to matter if it's misunderstood.
Qingyu didn't dwell on this point.
"Ziyu, it's been a long time!"
Nemo, who was behind him, quickly rushed over and hugged Ziyu tightly, looking very happy.
"Hmm...it's been a long time, Nemo."
Zi Yu seemed a little embarrassed, but she still replied to Nemo first.
"Um—this is a very formal occasion, I don't think this is appropriate!"
"What does it matter? Teacher Yu won't mind~"
"Can't!"
"Oh well----"
Seeing that Nemo's "do-what-you-want" nature was actually resolved by someone, not only Pipa and Botan who understood her personality, but even Qingyu secretly sighed, "Indeed, the power of childhood friends is too strong!"
"Isn't this good too? I've always felt that Ziyu is sometimes too serious, and she doesn't seem like a child at all."
Principal Xi Lan walked over to Qing Yu, watching the interaction between Nimo and Zi Yu while letting out a heartfelt sigh.
After saying that, he quickly turned around and smiled at Qingyu, who was looking him over.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Aoba."
"I am Xi Lan, the principal of this Blueberry Academy."
"Just call me Qingyu."
Qingyu nodded.
"Hello, Mr. Xi Lan."
"I heard from President Ye Ci that you were also the designer of that famous 'Eco-Dome'?"
Have you heard of the giant ecological dome?
Qingyu's words seemed to strike a nerve with Principal Xi Lan, who then raised his head and patted his chest with great pride.
"That's a wonderful place! I think you'll love it, Qingyu!"
After exchanging a few more polite words, Qingyu turned her gaze to the giant building on the coastline not far away.
The Eco-Dome is a facility within Blueberry Academy and a testament to the cutting-edge science and technology of United Nations.
A completely independent sea garden that uses artificial technology to simulate four different environments most suitable for Pokémon to live in, and they are interconnected.
Hanging inside the dome above the giant egg is a special device called the "Ecological Core," which contains a large amount of Taijing ore collected from the Padiya region or Kitakami Township, thus emitting Taijing energy.
In addition to the existing features, the Pokémon within the facility are also given the ability to freely crystallize.
Speaking of this —
Qingyu suddenly remembered the important matter that President Yeci had mentioned, so she looked at Xilan and added, "Mr. Xilan, President Yeci has already agreed to Blueberry Academy's request to purchase a large quantity of star crystal ore."
"However, since Zone Zero has been abandoned for a long time, it will probably take some time to repair and reactivate the former observatory and equipment."
"It's alright, there's no rush."
Xi Lan smiled and shook her head.
"Even if you manage to transport the ore, it will still take a long time to develop a storage liquid that can continuously release energy."
"Compared to the phenomenon of star crystallization, this exchange and learning with Orange Academy is more important to us."
"I've heard a lot about Teacher Yu; her name has a very high influence not only in Padida, but throughout the world."
"As an educator, I think Qingyu, you are an excellent role model worthy of our learning. The month-long exchange will surely allow both teachers and students to learn a lot!"
Role models?
Qingyu could only offer an awkward yet polite smile.
If Xi Lan had actually visited Orange Academy in person, she probably wouldn't have said such a thing.
After all, the Sunshine Gym he guarded was a uniquely "disapproved" gym in Padiya, with students' negative reviews practically filling the Padiya Sea—
If you learn by yourself, you might not even want Blueberry Academy's approval rating in the future!
However, Qingyu could not possibly say these words aloud.
Family scandals should not be aired in public!
So he kept silent as much as possible along the way, only occasionally responding with a few words, until he followed Principal Xi Lan into the Blueberry Academy.
Nemo and her two friends had already gotten to know the students at Blueberry Academy and seemed to be chatting happily.
Qingyu and Xilan stood not far away, chatting about adult work topics.
"I heard that the first semester of each year in Padiya is dedicated to students challenging gyms and freely exploring and treasure hunting in Padiya?"
Xi Lan suddenly asked a question, and Qing Yu quickly answered.
"Yes, the Padia Champion's Path assessments officially ended at the end of July. The students will return to school in the second semester to fill in the gaps in their theoretical knowledge."
"That's wonderful!"
President Xi Lan nodded with emotion.
"I also think that schools in each region should have their own unique characteristics."
"Therefore, at Blueberry Academy, we didn't adopt traditional teaching methods, but instead established a Blueberry League system modeled after the Pokémon League."
"Students can challenge each other to improve their rankings and compete for the championship and the 'Four Heavenly Kings' position in the League Club."
"Of course, unlike the titles in the United States, this is just an honorary title that can only be used in schools."
"As a result, the students' enthusiasm for thinking about battles has increased significantly."
Qingyu listened with great interest to what Xi Lan had to say, nodding repeatedly. At the same time, she subconsciously drew inferences from the story: "So that's how it is! In other words, honor can be used to give students a reason to compete, thus creating a virtuous cycle."
I suppose Padia's "championship" title was also a product of the same line of thinking?
Principal Xi Lan is indeed a wise educator, quite different from his unserious demeanor in the game.
"The four students who came with me today are now the Four Heavenly Kings of Blueberry Academy."
Xi Lan quickly looked at the students who were already sitting and chatting not far away, preparing to introduce them to Qing Yu.
However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a noisy commotion from the other side.
Suddenly, Nemo slammed her hand on the table and then stood up excitedly.
"good!"
"Now that we've arrived in the Unova region, we should definitely start with a battle!"
"I heard that Blueberry Academy uses doubles rules, but I've only ever tried it in Pokémon Champions!"
"Come on, come on, Ziyu! Fight with me!"
Qingyu could tell at a glance that Nemo's battle addiction had returned.
Zi Gan also had a "I knew it would happen" expression on his face. After helplessly rubbing his forehead, he nodded slightly.
"Alright, but you can only have one match today!"
"That's fantastic! You're the best, Ziyu!"
Seeing this, Qingyu and Xilan could only exchange a smile and then walk over.
In the Pokémon world, the best way for students to interact is definitely through Pokémon battles!
Soon, Nemo and Ziyu were warming up at the school's battle facilities.
As for Qingyu, he volunteered to be the referee for this match and was observing the two players' movements.
"Are you ready?"
"alright!"
"Um."
"Now, let both teams enter the arena."
"Hey!"
After Qingyu finished speaking, Nemo stepped onto the field first, raising two Poké Balls high at the same time.
As for Zi Yu on the other side, she behaved more like a lady from a noble family, walking forward with light steps.
but----
Every time I see Senior Sister Purple Pole pull out two Poké Balls, I can't help but think of the must-learn antics of the Blue Disc DLC.
Today, will Ziyu's opponent be Earth/Ocean Pat-Pat, or Time/Space Pat-Pat?
Qingyu was lost in thought until both sides threw out their Poké Balls before he came to his senses.
Nemo's main lineup remains very pragmatic, consisting of the combination of Cyclops and Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile.
As for the purple pole, it wasn't the positively charged and negatively charged pats that Qingyu had imagined, but rather—
"Go forth, King Blue!"
"And custard eggs too!"
Ziyu really likes Blue Emperor, and even uses it as a pillow when taking a nap.
This event is also recorded in the Blue Disc DLC.
However, the choice of the other Pokémon made Qingyu subconsciously raise an eyebrow.
Chansey egg?
While it does fit Ziyu's preference for the cute Pokémon Kushikyu, she probably doesn't have this Pokémon among her main Pokémon, right?
Why is it specifically a custard egg?
Qingyu had some guesses in her heart, so she silently waited for Qi Xing Ziyu's next move.
Soon, just as he expected, Zi Yu was the first to bark, "Emperor Blue, use electromagnetic waves to restrain the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile!"
"Chicken Egg, shrink!"
