"Huh, so I guess there are a good few Pokemon like Vivillon around the world. I wonder if students in other regions do the same project then...huh..." Fela said, going quiet for awhile as she thought to herself. Maybe it was comforting to her to humor the idea that this was something that played out all over the world numerous times, that she was not the first nor would she be the last. Once she was done with her thoughts she would smile at Tristen. "Thanks! I'm going to go get some water, see you in class!" She said to Tristen before suddenly running off.
In time Tristen would find his way to Mr. Jacq's science class. There he found Penny in the corner on her phone and Camp eagerly waiting for the teacher. Camp would spot Tristen as he walked in and waved at him happily. "Hey Tristen! Isn't this exciting!? I've been waiting all month for today!" He said happily, his eyes almost sparkling with excitement.

Tristen wasn’t 100 percent sure on what Fela said. Then again, this was the first school he’s ever been a part of and there wasn’t really an academy quite like this one. At least, not in Jhoto anyways that he knew of. But if it kept Fela in an okay mood, then he’d just let her believe it. When she would go off to get her water, he’d stash his SNAG once again, hoping that this settled things for her finally. This wasn’t her first rodeo, that he was told, and it was all for the sake of learning. She just needed to let go. Let Vivillion be happy, regardless of what happens. With a sigh, he would go off, needing to take a minor detour to a restroom himself, but once he was done he would make his way to Mr. Jacq’s science class.
Once he showed up, he’d find Penny and Camp already in the class room. He’d take a seat close by to the two of them. “Well, it’d be great seeing the hard work paid off. I still wish that stuff a couple of weeks ago didn’t happen so I could have been here the whole time for it.” Tristen told him. “I wonder how are we going to do this though? Does he just takes us out off the Academy grounds or…?” Short of taking them out into the rec yards, where there would sure to be students and Pokémon around thanks to Ms. Dendra, he couldn’t imagine where else they could go.

"Yep, that's exactly it. I watched last year's release from afar and Mr. Jacq takes everyone out to the south of the city to a hill just on the other side of the river and releases them there. Plenty of nearby forest and decent air currents to catch for when they fly off." Camp responded to Tristen. If the boy had to imagine Camp must be talking about that small hilly area between Mesagoza and Los Platos. "My only question is if we'll get back in time for fourth period." Camp pondered aloud.
"I'm sure it'll be okay." Fela spoke up as she arrived, walking past the boys and to her nearby desk where she would set her bag down. "If Mr. Jacq does this every year then I'm certain he informs the rest of the teachers that we may be late, or not show up at all." It was a good point.
In time the bell would ring and Mr. Jacq of course was no where to be seen for several minutes after. Eventually he'd come scrambling in with a box, struggling with it slightly as he sat it down on his desk with a grunt. "Good morn- afternoon, class!" He said with a chuckle, forgetting what time of day it was for a moment. "Today's the big day! Release day!" He said with a cheer, he was awful happy about this. "Let's get right to it, shall we? I one of each the student pairs to come up and get your ball from the box. I took the liberty of writing your pair's initials on the ball so you know which is which. While you do that let me explain how this is going to go." Fela would let Tristen go get the ball, giving him a smile and a nod.
Mr. Jacq would proceed to explain exactly where Camp had already told Tristen they were going, south out of the city to a big hill slightly east. There they would get to the highest point of the will, hopefully with a good breeze, and release their Pokemon all at once. The Vivillon should take off on the wind and the Spewpa will retreat into the trees where they should evolve in the coming days, their instinct driven evolution spurring them on. Once he was done and as the last of the students got their Pokeball he spoke further. "So, are we all ready? If we are please file out of the classroom one at a time. I want you all to gather in the lobby downstairs so we maybe leave the academy as a group. Oh and take your bags, I don't know if we'll get back in time for next period. Don't worry, your teachers have been notified."
Fela, Penny and Camp would do just that, get up with their belongs and walk out of the room. Once they were in the hallway walking Fela would catch up to Tristen and walk alongside him. "How do you think Vivillon is going to act?" She whispered to Tristen as they walked.

Tristen looked back when he heard Fela make her way in and address both him and Camp about what Mr. Jacq possibly would do for today, considering what they were out to do. It was interesting, to say the least; it never occurred to the Manectric hybrid what’d happen at this part of the assignment. It was a little bit of a walk out of Mezagoza so time would probably be needed to arranged to get everyone out of the academy and across the city and off to the hillsides near Los Platos. So maybe it was going to take up a good chunk of the next period as well. Though all was said and good if not for the fact that once again Mr. Jacq was late. Yet again. How is he allowed to keep getting away with this? In fact, now that he thought about it, how is he always late like this? Where does he go? What is he doing? A mystery that probably was never going to be solved…
Tristen would carry on conversation with the others until Mr. Jacq would finally arrive in the class, and was ready to address the class. Tristen would take a look at Fela, and once given the go ahead, he would get up and retrieve back the Premier Ball that held the Vivillion that Fela and him had been trying to raise the entire time. Once he did, he would listen to what they were out to do – go to the hillside just slightly east of the southern entrance and have a mass release of the Pokémon. Tristen would get up again once the class was called upon to do so, grabbing his things once again, and then made his way off to the lobby to be ready to head off out. On the way down, Tristen would look back to Fela when she started to ask him about Vivillion. “Vivillion should be fine.” Tristen whispered back. “Might be a little confused at first, maybe, but should be fine once nature takes over and starts realizing what was going on. This is Vivillion’s day, after all. What about with you? You still good?” He asked her.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm still a bit sad but I can't help that. Also part of me is excited for the Vivillon, how they will all find their mates and make families of their own. It's kind of sweet, bittersweet." Fela replied to Tristen, admitting she still had her misgivings but was being much more mature and honest about it all than she previously was.
In time everyone would gather in the lobby downstairs and like usual the teacher, Mr. Jacq, was dead last to show up. He would take a count of everyone before leading his class out the front door, down the giant steps, through and out of Mesagoza and into Area One of South Province. Once out in the wild Mr. Jacq would release his Farigiraf, informing the class that while he didn't expect any trouble from the wild Pokemon around these parts as they were very timid, as Tristen could testify to, he still wanted to take every precaution in protecting his class. His Farigiraf would follow alongside the students, towering over them as it kept its four eyes and two minds open for threats.
The students would make their way east, following the river up into the hills as promised, spotting many wild Pokemon along the way such as Pachirisu and Skwovet foraging for food in mixed groups or schools of Magikarp swimming down stream. No wild Pokemon would dare try to attack them, not that these peaceful creatures would even want to but Farigiraf was still alert. After scaring off a flock of Fletchling the group would make their way to the top of a promise hill overlooking the river and Mesagoza beyond it to the north with Los Platos visible to the southwest, you could even see some of the ocean to the south. What a nice view, Mr. Jacq chose well.
"Okay class, get your Pokeballs ready." He instructed them as he took out his Rotom phone, holding it up into the sky as if he was trying to get a signal or something. "It's almost time...what do you think, Farigiraf?" He asked his Pokemon who proceeded to shake its head 'no'. Mr. Jacq nodded in agreement. "Yes, I can see what you mean." He said to the Pokemon, pocketing his phone. "We'll wait another minute or two before releasing, class. The winds aren't right yet."
Fela would give the teacher and his Pokemon a confused look before looking to Tristen, her expression all she needed to get her question to him across; what did he mean?

That was a lot more understandable than how she was before, for certain. It kind of effectively summed up his thoughts on the whole matter, on top of the fact that he ended up missing out on two weeks, and on one of those days the Pokémon had evolved into that Vivillion they knew now. But, honestly? If Tristen hadn’t taken part in that incident to stop Team Star, leaving the likes of say Atticus unchecked or be able to stop the chi machine that was on the gigantic star mobile, Vivillion probably would have been worse off. Who knows what would have happened. With all considered, Tristen was fine with that.
Tristen found his way to the lobby, having to wait Mr. Jacq once again. Which was weird…he could have sworn the teacher was right behind everyone. But fortunately, it wasn’t too bad off…this time. On the teacher’s word, he’d make his way off out of the academy, across the grounds, and down the gigantic set of stairs outside of the academy. It was a little bit before he would manage to guide the class across Mezagoza and off to the outskirts of the city, crossing the gates into Area One. Tristen would listen to the word of caution out of the teacher, which that wasn’t something Tristen was all that concerned with. He had Pokémon that were more than ready to take them on if need be if they decided to be brave to attack in any capacity.
Following the class still, he made his way off to the hillsides of area one, still taking in the sites of Area One, and was starting to be fairly certain that he didn’t make his way over this way in all the times he walked these fields in spite of him trying to explore around as he trained Vivillion or his other Pokémon. Though once they would arrive at their destination, Tristen would take note to the view, pretty convinced now he hadn’t. The view of the sea from where they stood was quite a bit different here and he was almost certain they had to find their way even further south of Los Platos just to see it. But here? It was pretty nice, he had to admit. Tristen would get Vivillion’s Pokeball at the ready on the teacher’s command. Tristen could hear the teacher converse with his Pokémon but, it confused the Manectric hybrid just a bit as to what they were talking about. When the teacher stated to wait a couple of minutes longer, he took note to Fela confused as to what was going on, which Tristen shrugged. This was pretty new territory to him. The wind had something to do with it? It felt like any other gentle breeze as far as he could tell, and there was nothing in the air that he could smell right off hand. He took a look around the area, trying to see if there was anything else going on. If there was a shift in weather perhaps, or a wild Pokémon that really didn’t need to be here for all of this.

Mr. Jacq would keep looking up at the sky and his Rotom phone, then back a this giraffe, waiting for something. Fela would get tired of wondering what was going on and would walk up to Penny and Camp, the four students eventually brought together as she asked them. "Tell Tristen what you told me." Fela said once Penny and Camp walked up to Tristen with her.
"Apparently the local Vivillon will be coming this way soon and Mr. Jacq tries to time the release just perfectly so all the Vivillon can mingle together and ride the trade winds together. Make it as natural as possible." Camp explained. Fela would nod along as it made enough sense to her.
A couple minutes later Mr. Jacq would perk up and smile to himself, turning around to his class and declare; "Now is the time!" He shouted, throwing his hands up in the air. "Release your Pokemon now!" He implored the students. If they all looked off to the west, up the river a ways, they could see what looked like a mostly green and white 'cloud' moving towards them. That was no cloud but a swarm of Vivillon, the local Fancy Pattern ones, and they were coming this way.
Fela watched as Camp happily tossed their Pokeball into the air, Penny ready with her phone to take tons of pictures, the sound of her phone snapping them one after the other. The ball would burst open to reveal their Vivillon which immediately and without delay began to flutter towards the reiver to meet the incoming swarm. Other Pokeballs around them burst open with more Vivillon heading in that direction and a few Spewpa as well, seemingly watching the swarm's arrival eagerly. In the midst of all this Fela would turn to Tristen and say one word; "Okay." She said, with a nod and watery eyes.
The swarm of Vivillon were closer by now, Tristen able to make them out much better. There had to be hundreds of them, all together in one massive swarm that threatened to blot out the sky. It was no doubt a thing of beautiful, fascination and maybe even a little bit of fright, the other wild Pokemon certainly thought so as Tristen might note they had all fled. The skies and Earth were owned by the Vivillon in this moment, the world was theirs.

SubonicXP The swarm of Vivillon were closer by now, Tristen able to make them out much better. There had to be hundreds of them, all together in one massive swarm that threatened to blot out the sky. It was no doubt a thing of beautiful, fascination and maybe even a little bit of fright, the other wild Pokemon certainly thought so as Tristen might note they had all fled. The skies and Earth were owned by the Vivillon in this moment, the world was theirs. Tristen continued to look about for the next minute as Fela walked off as she started to talk to the others, but once she brought Camp on over at least, it started to make sense. It left him to wonder if at the very least similar things were done back in the Kanto Region with the Butterfree, that he could think about it. Then again, he remembered some articles vaguely about people going up in hot air balloons, so maybe it was different for every Pokémon? Tristen could only speculate at that point. It took a couple of minutes more before Mr. Jacq addressed the class. Tristen quickly started to look around to see what he was getting at until he finally saw it, and what he was after. He was wanting the Vivillion to intermingle with the natural swarm already out and about in the wild instead of leaving it to the couple of dozen Pokémon raised by the class, and this hillside was usually the path that they’d take during this time of the season. Tristen would take out the Premier ball, looking over towards Fela. She was trying to hold herself together, but it was time. “Alright, Vivillion, Go!” Tristen called out. “Have fun!” He’d lob the ball up and the ball would discharge to release the Pokeball-patterned Vivillion out.
