The academy's director, [[Clavell]], gives the player a choice of one of three [[first partner Pokémon]] and introduces them to their next-door neighbor and the head of the academy's student council, [[Nemona]]. Despite being a {{pkmn|Champion}}-level {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Nemona also takes one of the first partner Pokémon in her care in order to train a new team alongside the player. While exploring [[Poco Path]], the player encounters a weak {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, which saves them from a pack of angry {{p|Houndour}}. An academy student named [[Arven]] identifies the Pokémon and hands its [[Koraidon's Poké Ball|Poké]] [[Miraidon's Poké Ball|Ball]] to the player. | ||
