   Keys: Palde, Paldea region

   Paldea is based on the Iberian Peninsula — which comprises Spain, Portugal, and Andorra — and its shared culture and fauna. It draws inspiration primarily from the culture of Spain, as can be seen in its architecture, gastronomy, musical influences, Pokémon nomenclature, as well as the sporadic use of the Spanish language by the locals of Paldea. Specific references to Portugal, its architecture and language can also be found mainly on western locations of Paldea. Paldea has 12 cities and towns. Instead of routes, Paldea is divided into four provinces, each with three areas (except for the South Province, which has six). At the center of the region is the Great Crater of Paldea, which houses Area Zero.

Team member Heath, a famed author and natural historian, published his account of the expedition as the Scarlet BookS/Violet BookV. The book's contents proved to be so fantastical that Heath and the rest of the Area Zero Expedition were accused of lying and widely discredited.

Team Star confronted their bullies at Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV in a clash that caused a scandal for the school. Team Star's leader, Cassiopeia, secretly came forward and accepted full blame for the incident. Recognizing the bullying problem as a failure of his administration, Director Harrington gave Cassiopeia a lenient punishment and then resigned along with all other teaching staff at the time. Cassiopeia temporarily returned to their homeland to continue their studies. The other members of Team Star, unaware of why their boss ceased communicating with them, stopped attending classes and maintained the organization while they waited for their boss's return. Clavell and his assistant Jacq left their jobs as researchers to work for Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV. Clavell became the academy's director, and Jacq became a biology teacher.

Ghost-type specialist Ryme succeeded her sister as Montenevera's Gym Leader. c. One year prior: Professor SadaS/Professor TuroV, along with an AI-operated android made in their likeness, created a fully functioning time machine with the intention of bringing Pokémon from the pastS/futureV to Area Zero with the intent of creating a special ecosystem there. However, an incident occurred when two of the retrieved Pokémon, a pair of KoraidonS/MiraidonV, got into a territorial struggle that resulted in the Professor's death. This led the robot duplicate to realize that, should the now dubbed Paradox Pokémon escape into the outside world, they would pose a threat to everything around them and began searching for potential candidates from Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV, including the Professor's estranged son Arven, to take part in a hasty mission to shut down the time machine before more dangerous Paradox Pokémon come through. Geography Notable locations Paldea has 12 cities and towns. Instead of routes, Paldea is divided into four provinces, each with three areas (except for the South Province, which has six).

To the southwest is an an agricultural zone with a large olive orchard, and an elevated area, accessible via a large cavern, containing the top of a large waterfall and a leaning watchtower that stands in a pond. To the southeast is an area with rocky terrain, a small region covered in wetlands, and a hidden beach. The southern sea is mostly empty aside from a sandbar and a couple tiny islets.

    Keys: Poppy

She looks up to Rika like a big sister, often asking Rika to explain what to do next and having Rika correct her idioms.

    Keys: Hassel

    Hassel is a member of the Elite Four of the Paldea region and the art teacher at the Academy. He specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon. Hassel is a middle-aged man with blonde hair and brown eyes. He wears a green jacket with a white shirt and a red tie underneath a black and red sweater vest, gray pants and black and red shoes. As an Elite Four member, he is shown wearing black gloves.

    His Dragon type preference is reflected in his primarily green attire, a color often associated with western style dragons, and his golden hair reflecting the Knights often associated with them. His jacket has a cape like attachment, and he speaks with a somewhat Shakespearean accent, indicating his fascination with medieval fantasy that often depicts dragons. He also has piercing golden eyes, which may be a reflection of his dragon-kind heritage. Hassel normally is a rather austere man, who is dedicated and serious to his job as both the art teacher and an Elite Four member. However, deep down he is a big romantic, which is not only displayed through his appreciation in art, and also strong emotional responses.

15. #15selective

    Keys: Geeta

    Geeta is the chairwoman of the Pokémon League in Paldea, as well as the chairwoman of the Academy's school board. She is Paldea's top Champion-ranked Trainer, and is the only person to have the Trainer class Top Champion. Geeta is widely known across Paldea as La Primera, which derives from her roles as Top Champion and a chairwoman.

    Geeta is a tall woman with dark skin with black hair and blue and yellow eyes. She wears a black pantsuit with socks and loafers of the same color, blue gloves and a yellow necktie on her blue shirt. Her glove has a sun emblem on it.

    Geeta's appearance is similar to a combination of the two most notable pokemon on her team, Glimmora and Kingambit. Her long flowing hair resembles Kingambit's hair style, which also reflects her management style as one who prefers to command and observe passively, than actively (given she's usually standing still and tends to let others do things their way with unspoken high expectations). Glimmora is referenced by the blue waves in her hair and outfit giving her an otherworldly appearance, which is meant to surprise the player with ambiance. Her Tera type choice being Rock seems to be reflected more by her unmoving yet sharp nature as despite not being popular among her employees, she is still highly feared and respected without needing to show much emotion.

    Geeta is a refined and composed lady, who hopes and strives to nurture Trainers in Paldea so they can reach their fullest. She is known for her bureaucratic approach on handling things.

    However, she has a habit of micromanagement with strict rules, which makes her unfavored by those who wish to express themselves. Larry dislikes her for forcing extra positions on him (being both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member on top of his job), forcing him to pick another Pokémon typing for the latter and even dictating his overtime hours. Tulip states that her aura is too "bewitching" and conflicts with her own, while Ryme is annoyed that she had sent the player to inspect her, wanting to prove the power of Ghost types to her.
