   Summary

   After winning the World Coronation series, Ash Ketchum realized that he hated the spotlight. He disappeared for five years, only allowing friends and family to see him in the forest where he made his home. During this seclusion, he still traveled, but only to remote areas, going to cities as needed.

   One day, Professor Oak arrives with a letter from Blueberry Academy asking for him to start as a faculty member, focusing on training and battling. Ash realizing that he's missed battling, so he decides to go.

   Once there, he learns of Paldea and decides to go for his own treasure hunt.

   ~~Updates hopefully weekly | This takes place after the events of Scarlet and Violet. Might be some retconning.
