The next day, all the freshman students had gotten up and were eating breakfast at the hotel's lobby while the professors discuss the day's activity.
"So we will have sit down for Professor Sonia's lecture and when that is over we will set them free to do what they want in Circhester until around 8:00." Goh said as he outlined the plan.
Nikandr soon looked at Solana to see what her input was.
"Well? You are the expert here, you think it is safe to turn them loose after the lecture?"
Solana soon sighed as she gave her Plusle some food before responding.
"I am positive, the city has been swept and no signs of any intruders or evil people have been spotted." Solana said to her fellow professors.
Meanwhile, the students were discussing what they were going to do after the lecture.
"I wanna take you to the Hero's Bath and Bob's Your Uncle. They are the two most popular places here in Circhester! Then maybe after that you guys can visit my parents!" Robyn said with excitement.
Shion smiled at her roommates' usual energetic persona as she spooned some ceral into her mouth.
"Well I want to see some of the pure Grass-type Pokemon that they have in this region!" Shion said as she could feel the excitement of her Pokemon through her Pokeballs.
Rex said he wanted to meet some of the Dark-types in this region and maybe even catch one while Tyson said he wanted to battle someone strong.
That just left Kenan, who was seemingly staring into space.
"Kenan, Kenan! You ok man?" Rex said to him.
Kenan soon snapped back to reality and stared at his friends.
"Oh yeah? Yeah, I am excited to see what cool Pokemon are here in Circhester." Kenan said though his focus wasn't 100% there.
Then with Lyna and Ema, the two of them were discussing contest stuff including a contest hall that had been built in Circhester about a year ago.
"I was thinking about checking it out with Umbreon. What do you say, you want to join me?" Ema asked her friend.
"Sure, I am sure that it will help me come up with some new contest combinations in the future." Lyna said as she stared at Kenan and his friends.
To tell you the truth, ever since the two of them met at the striping ceremony. She hadn't been able to get him off her mind.
Ema soon noticed her gaze and soon a devious smile crept up on her face.
"Oh! Is that the boy you meet at the striping ceremony!? He looks so cute!" Ema said as she got up to say hi to them.
"Ema! Get back here!" Lyna said to her friend blushing but it was all in vain as her friend made her way to the five trainer course students.
"Hello! I figured that we should introduce ourselves. My name is Ema and it is nice to meet you all! And this is my friend Lyna!" Ema said she introduced herself and Lyna to the group.
Tyson blushed as Kenan said it was nice to meet her and introduced them to her before blushing when he saw Lyna and said it was nice to see her again.
"You two know each other?" Tyson asked him.
"Yeah, we sat together on the plane ride over here." Kenan said.
While that was going on, Ava, Chris and Hikaru were talking with each other. Originally Hikaru was going to sit with some of his fellow Ranger Course students but then he saw Ava and Chris sitting together and decided to give them some company.
One thing lead to another and soon all of them were talking like they were old friends.
"Is it hard to be a Pokemon Ranger?" Ava asked as she bit into some of her eggs.
"Yes but I relish that challenge especially when it comes to keeping Pokemon safe from Hunters." Hikaru said as he turned to see Professor Solana who was having breakfast with the other professors.
Chris soon took a swig of Orange Juice.
"And besides, I am sure being a breeder comes with it's own set of challenges." Hikaru said.
"Yes, let not letting a rambunctious Tinkatink hit you on the head." Chris said.
Soon all three of them exploded in laughter like the rest of the students in the lobby.
All of them were blissfully unaware of the chaos that they would experience later that day.
Soon after breakfast, all of the students and the professors soon made their way to Circhester stadium where the lecture was being held.
All of the filed into the stadium, with some eager to here the lecture while some were on their phones waiting for this to end.
And of course, some of them were planning to make sure that chaos was the norm after a few minutes.
Soon a orange-haired woman and two assistants in lab coats made their way over to the center of the stadium as the orange-haired professor soon made her way over to the mic in the center.
"Hello everyone! My name is Sonia Laurent Magnolia and I am the local professor here in the Galar region! My main area of expertise is of course the history of the Galar region but of course today I will be showing you just how that history stretches far and wide and intertwines with the phenomenon of Dynamax here in out lovely regi-." Sonia said before her mic was suddenly cut off.
Everyone was suddenly confused as suddenly some began to fill the stadium making everyone suddenly cough.
Then BAM! A huge explosion occurred that rocked the entire stadium and made everyone topple over.
And from the explosion, several grunts were red uniforms with what appeared to be the Fighting-type symbol appeared in the stadium as a big burly man soon stepped in front and addressed the entire stadium.
"So sorry to make a mess here, but we will be claiming those notes in the name of the Fist Squad if you don't mind." Cassidy said in a deep voice.
The grunts soon left out their Pokemon: various Tyrouges, Panchams and Mankeys soon clashed with several Pokemon let out by the students who had jumped out of the stands to fight the grunts.
It was total mayhem.
Cassidy soon made his way to where Sonia was as her two lab assistants soon tore off their lab coats revealing themselves to be actually here bodyguards went to confront Cassidy.
Cassidy soon turned to the two grunts he had with him as he let them deal with the two bodyguards while he took the notes from Sonia.
Kenan soon saw Cassidy approaching Sonia and realize he had to do something as Lyna soon approached him.
"Hey! What do you think you are doing?" Lyna asked him.
"Probably something stupid. You in?" Kenan asked her.
Lyna smiled indicating she was ready to battle alongside him. Soon the both of them scampered down from the stands and confronted Cassidy.
"Hey stop right there!"Kenan said to him as the admin turned around.
"Hmph, you two have guts especially for students. I can respect that, that being said back off. If you two fight me then I won't hold anything back." Cassidy said to them with a sinister grin.
Both of them simply responded by enlarging their respective Pokeballs and sending them out.
"Stella I choose you!"
"Swablu let's go!"
Both Pokemon came out as a Braivary and a Swablu soon came up as the Fighting-type admin soon smirked and let out his Pokemon.
"Conkledurr, destroy them." Cassidy said.
Soon the Muscular Pokemon came out and roared slightly terrifying both Flying-types but soon they held firm.
"Stella, use Brave Bird!"
"Swablu, use Peck!"
Soon both Flying-types unleashed powerful moves on the Muscular Pokemon. And both being Flying-type moves, it should have been realistically super effective on Conkledurr.
But the Muscular Pokemon didn't even look flinched by the two attacks.
"Conkledurr, use Thunder Punch." Cassidy commanded.
Soon Conkledurr's fist crackled with electricity as he soon punched the two Flying-types with super effective move.
"Don't give in Stella! Use Metal Claw!"
"Swablu Dragon Breath!"
Soon both Flying-types unleased their second attacks but Cassidy had Conkledurr dodge before landing another super effective move in Stone Edge knocking both Pokemon out.
Soon Kenan and Lyna went to their Pokemon to check on them as Cassidy ordered Conkledurr to finish them off with Hammer Arm.
Both of them waited for them move to land as they were protecting their Pokemon.
"Cinderace! Use Pyro Ball!" A unknown voice said as it cut through the chaos.
Soon a flaming ball of fire soon soared through the air as it hit Conkledurr and sent him crashing into the stadium wall.
"No… they said you had left the region!" Cassidy said as he turned to the unknown figure and their Cinderace standing at the stadium's entrance.
Kenan and Lyna soon looked at the figure and in shock knew who that was as the girl made herself known with a cocky smile.
It was Gloria Hopkins, the champion of the Galar region as she had come to save them.
"Sorry about being late to the party, now let's have a Champion time!" Gloria said as she rushed into the battle with Cinderace.
