PALDEA GIRL DIES IN WOODCHIPPER ACCIDENT

Tragic news from Paldea: Nemona Alegria, the president of the student council of Paldea's prestigious Naranja Academy, was killed yesterday afternoon after falling into a running woodchipper, according to Paldean authorities.

A press release from the coroner's office states that at 3 pm yesterday Nemona and her friend Florian Scarlet were helping a team of tree trimmers clear several fallen trees along the main access road to Mesagoza, the Paldean capital. A woodchipper was being used to deal with branches. However, as Nemona was walking to the machine to load a branch in, a Smoliv darted in front of her and managed to trip her up, and Nemona fell into the machine and was killed instantly when she was shredded to pieces by the blades.

The coroner's office has ruled her death an accident.

One of the tree trimmers, who is being kept anonymous at their request, stated that the area around the chipper looked like "a splatter gorefest" and states that it was "horrifying that this happened to someone so young".

Director Clavell of Naranja Academy has stated the entire school is "in mourning" and has stated counselling will be made available for those who need it. The academy did not immediately respond to the United News Network's request for comment.

An investigation into the accident is ongoing, according to the coroner's office.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"And Florian and I are gonna have another battle at-"

DEORBITED UNOVAN SATELLITE CRASH-LANDS IN PALDEA, KILLS CAMPING GIRL

The Unovan Space Agency (USA) has confirmed that the decommissioned Weather Explorer satellite, which was launched in 1989 to study the planet's weather patterns, deorbited yesterday morning, crash-landing in Paldea's eastern province. The Paldean authorities, however, have stated that the deorbiting ended in tragedy, as a teenage girl was killed by the main body of the satellite in what authorities are dubbing a "freak accident".

Three weeks ago, the USA conceded they had "lost control" of the decommissioned satellite after its telemetry link had been lost. The satellite re-entered the atmosphere at 02:27 over eastern Paldea and took approximately ten minutes to fall to the planet's surface, with only the main body of the satellite remaining intact throughout re-entry.

Unfortunately, by sheer coincidence, the main body of the satellite happened to crash into a tent where Nemona Alegria, the president of the student council of Paldea's prestigious Naranja Academy, was camping for the night. When a cleanup team arrived at the site of impact, they discovered Nemona's remains partially trapped "in a tangle of metal". Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.

Director Clavell of Naranja Academy has stated the whole school is "in shock over this tragedy" and has vowed to make counselling available for those who need it. Neither the academy nor the USA responded to the United News Network's request for comment.

Nemona's family have stated that they intend to sue the USA over the accident, but have not provided any further details.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

*Snoring, before Nemona is roused awake by a sound in the sky*

"Eugh... What's that sound? It it coming from the sk-"

*CRASH!*

PALDEAN STUDENT KILLED IN HYPER BEAM ACCIDENT

Nemona Alegria, a student of Paldea's prestigious Naranja Academy, was killed yesterday morning in an accident involving a Hyper Beam.

According to eyewitness reports the accident took place at around 11 am. Nemona was having a battle with fellow Naranja student Juliana Violet in the school's courtyard. Around three minutes after the battle began Juliana ordered her Metagross to use Hyper Beam on Nemona's Meowscarada, but Meowscarada managed to evade the Hyper Beam - and it slammed directly into Nemona, who happened to be standing behind her partner at that moment.

Upon impact, Nemona was flung backwards into a nearby wall "like a rag doll". The battle was called off and Nemona was placed in an ambulance, but she died en route to the hospital.

Director Clavell of Naranja Academy has stated the school is "in shock" over the loss and counselling will be made available for those who need it. He has also stated the academy board is reviewing new regulations for trainers in battle to prevent an accident like this from happening again.

Juliana was arrested following the accident and is set to go to trial on involuntary manslaughter charges in three weeks.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Well done, MeowscAAAAAAA-"

*Sound of impact*

PALDEA GIRL DIES AFTER DRINKING ACID

The prestigious Naranja Academy in Paldea was shaken by tragedy yesterday. Nemona Alegria, the president of Naranja's student council, died yesterday afternoon after drinking a glass filled with acid by mistake.

According to Paldean police, at 2 pm Nemona was discovered unresponsive in one of the school's science classrooms, with bubbly foam around her mouth and a knocked-over glass containing a clear liquid next to her. Paramedics attempted to resuscitate her, but she was declared dead upon arriving at the hospital.

In what police are calling "the worst case of negligence they have seen yet", subsequent tests revealed the clear liquid to be in fact sulphuric acid, and it is now believed that due to it being stored in a glass instead of the required container, Nemona mistook the acid for water and drank it - with fatal consequences.

Naranja director Clavell Amigo has stated that Naranja is "united in grief" and will make counselling available for those who need it.

Several of the science teachers at Naranja have been arrested and charged with negligence and manslaughter. They will go to trial in one month's time.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Ahh... I needed a drink."

*Nemona drinks the acid and immediately lets out screams of extreme pain and incoherent words for several seconds before she collapses.*

PALDEAN STUDENT FOUND DEAD AGED 16

A teenage girl from Paldea was discovered hanging in her school's dorm room in an apparent suicide last week.

Nemona Alegria, the president of the student council of Paldea's prestigious Naranja Academy, was described by students and staff as "a top student who was competitive and never backed down from a challenge". They told the UNN that although not many people enjoyed being around her she found a proper friend in young student Florian Scarlet, who delivered the eulogy at her funeral.

"Nemona was one of the liveliest people I ever had the pleasure of meeting," said Florian. "I always looked up to her during my time at Naranja as a role model, both during my early months and my ascension as a Champion of Paldea. She was a tough girl, strong as stone, who never backed down in the face of adversity or peril, and she was also my friend. All of Naranja weeps for this loss."

According to Nemona's friends, three months ago she had an epiphany that told her she was an "NPC character in a video game that wouldn't amount to much". She had a mental breakdown over the next few months that quickly escalated into alarming behaviours like self-harm and talking about death a lot. Despite the best efforts of mental health professionals, she was found last week in her dorm room having hung herself.

Director Clavell of Naranja Academy has stated he is "personally grieving" over the loss and has urged students and staff alike to speak with mental health professionals if they have any "weights they need to get off their chest".

Nemona's family have returned to her family home in southern Paldea to bury her and were not available for comment.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS :

(Taken from the end of her suicide note)

"To Mom, Dad and everyone at Naranja, I'm sorry it had to be this way, but I can't live life knowing I'm just a soulless NPC in this world who won't amount to much. At least now I'm free... and I'll be watching over you all in heaven.

With love, Nemona Alegria"

PALDEA GIRL KILLED IN UNEXPLAINED EVENT, SEVERAL OTHERS MISSING

Paldea is in shock - an unexplained event has taken place at a picnic site in the southern province that has led to the death of a student and several other people going missing.

All that is known of the event is an eyewitness report given by Juliana Violet, a young student of the prestigious Naranja Academy:

"I-I had just caught a Skiddo in some tall grass when I happened to come across a group of fifteen-something students having a joint picnic, and Nemona was there," she says. The "Nemona" she is referring to is Nemona Alegria, the president of Naranja's student council.

"I watched from the grass as they enjoyed their food when suddenly... I saw this tall figure, cloaked in black robes and with a Marowak's skull for a head emerge from a nearby forest. It looked like something out of my nightmares."

She breathes before continuing. "As soon as it got close enough everyone noticed it, and then... then everyone in the group except for Nemona suddenly dropped to their knees and began praying to the figure like it was Arceus or something. The figure then strolled over to Nemona, who I remember was seemingly paralysed by fear, and then suddenly the figure revealed a set of sharp fangs, and it sank them into Nemona's head and ripped out a good chunk of her brain and skull, spraying blood everywhere."

"The figure chewed and swallowed its mouthful, and then it turned around and returned to the forest, the other students following it chanting prayers to it all the way." Juliana then asked to be excused.

Juliana promptly contacted police and paramedics, who pronounced Nemona dead at the scene.

Despite a massive search operation being conducted throughout the entire Paldea region with the exception of the Great Crater, no trace of the figure Juliana described or the missing students has been found.

Anyone who has sighted this figure is advised not to approach it and is instead urged to contact police.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS

(May be slightly inaccurate due to Juliana's trauma clouding her memory)

"S-s-stay away from me!"

*The figure reveals its fangs*

"AAAAAAAA-"

*A crunch noise, followed by wet splatters*

PALDEA STUDENT KILLED BY SINGLE PUNCH

Nemona Alegria, a top student at Paldea's respected Naranja Academy, passed away yesterday from complications of skull injuries sustained from a random one-punch assault last Tuesday, Paldean authorities have confirmed.

According to eyewitnesses, at 10 pm last Tuesday Nemona was on a night out with her boyfriend Arven Pepper and another female companion in Mesagoza, the Paldean capital, when they were approached by Xavier Gustuma, a nineteen-year-old boy who was known for his copious drinking habits. Xavier punched Nemona in the head, forcing her to fall backwards and causing her head to collide with the pavement, knocking her unconscious and inflicting a skull fracture and brain trauma.

Paramedics were called and Nemona was rushed to the hospital where she underwent emergency surgery, but she never regained consciousness, and just yesterday her life support was switched off.

Director Clavell of Naranja has stated his "heart bleeds" for the loss and expressed hope that "the perpetrator of this cowardly attack will be brought to justice".

Xavier has since been arrested and will be placed on trial for murder charges in two weeks' time.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Oh, it's you, Xavier. What do you want-"

*Nemona is cut off by a fist connecting with her head, knocking her out instantly. This is followed by a crunching noise as her head connects with the pavement*

PALDEA TEEN DIES AFTER BEING "STABBED BY UMBRELLA"

A rather odd death was reported in Paldea yesterday - a trip to the beach for a Paldea student turned deadly after they were fatally impaled by an umbrella caught in heavy winds.

According to eyewitness reports, when winds at the beach in the town of Cabo Poco picked up, the umbrella broke away from its anchor, flew through the air and struck Naranja Academy student Nemona Alegria, "driving itself through her chest and out the other side".

According to Nemona's friend Juliana Violet, she was at the beach celebrating the summer holidays when the accident happened. According to local weather stations, wind speeds at the time reached 32 - 40 km/h.

Paramedics pronounced Nemona dead at the scene. She is survived by her mother. Paldea police dispatched homicide investigators to the scene, and although a rumour has spread that a Lugia was responsible for the winds investigators have found no evidence of foul play.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Man, this wind is really strong-"

*The umbrella drives itself through Nemona's chest with a squelching sound*

PALDEA STUDENT DIES FOLLOWING ACCIDENTAL POISONING

Yesterday, chemical regulatory agencies the world over were shocked. Nemona Alegria, the head of the student council of Paldea's prestigious Naranja Academy, passed away following accidental exposure to the neurotoxic compound dimethylmercury (Hg(CH₃)₂) approximately ten months earlier.

According to Nemona herself, ten months ago she was helping a science teacher transport several pipettes containing various compounds, one of which contained dimethylmercury. She accidentally got a few drops of the compound on her latex gloves, but not believing herself to be in any imminent danger she cleaned up the area before finishing the transport job and removing her gloves.

Approximately three months after the accident, she began developing a series of symptoms, including abdominal discomfort and significant weight loss, followed two months later by loss of balance and slurred speech. Although she was rushed to the hospital and put on aggressive chelation therapy, her condition rapidly deteriorated, and six months after the initial exposure Nemona slipped into a coma which she would never wake from.

She was removed from life support yesterday, authorities have confirmed.

A team of Unovan scientists have since discovered that current safety regulations are inadequate to handle dimethylmercury, and it has been discovered the compound can penetrate latex in 15 seconds, much faster than previously thought.

The Paldean Work Safety Authority (WSA) has issued a recommendation that dimethylmercury be phased out of all current uses in light of the accident.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

(Said four months before her death)

"H-help me.. doc... tor..."

PALDEA TEEN DIES FROM ACCIDENTAL FENTANYL OVERDOSE

Naranja Academy, one of the most prestigious schools in the world, is reeling from the abrupt loss of one of its top students.

Paldean police have confirmed that Nemona Alegria, the head of Naranja's student council, passed away yesterday, the result of an accidental overdose on fentanyl.

According to police reports, Nemona was attending a night party at Artazon when she was peer pressured into taking a pill that would get her "high". It is currently unknown who provided the pill. A few hours later she was discovered unresponsive and rushed to the hospital, but after several hours of failed attempts to resuscitate her she was pronounced dead.

Nemona's mother is hoping that the incident will galvanise the Paldean public to take the fentanyl trade more seriously. "One pill - that's all it took for me to lose my daughter," she said. "And I don't want anyone else to lose their daughters or sons."

The Paldean authorities have vowed to crack down on the fentanyl trade, but were unwilling to give further details.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Oh, sure. What harm could one pill do?"

PALDEA TEEN FATALLY MAULED BY LEGENDARY POKÉMON

The Paldean authorities have reported that a teenage girl was fatally mauled by a legendary Pokémon in a savage attack last week.

According to police reports, on 9 June two students of the prestigious Naranja Academy - Nemona Alegria and Florian Scarlet - went on a picnic trip to the eastern province of Paldea. Amongst other items, Florian brought a Poké Ball that contained the legendary Pokémon Koraidon - which according to the Paldea Pokédex is a prehistoric ancestor of Cyclizar, brought to the present by a time machine created by resident professor Sada Chronos.

At around 11:56 am local time, Florian released Koraidon from its ball to allow it to stretch out for a bit before temporarily leaving to gather some ingredients for sandwiches. However, after a few seconds, he heard screaming from the picnic site and returned to find Koraidon mauling Nemona's head and upper torso. He hastily recalled it and called paramedics who loaded Nemona into an ambulance but she succumbed to her injuries en route to the hospital.

It is not currently known what caused Koraidon to attack Nemona suddenly.

Director Clavell of Naranja was quoted as saying "I never could have imagined that when Florian received Koraidon, it would lead to the loss of one of my best students". He has made counselling available for those who need it.

Florian has stated he plans to give Koraidon up after the incident, stating "I cannot in good faith continue travelling with a Pokémon that killed my friend.".

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Hey look, Koraidon!"

(Nemona holds two slices of bread up to her head)

"Would you like to try a Nemona sandwi-"

(Koraidon abruptly tackles Nemona down before beginning to maul her)

TEENAGE GIRL SUCCUMBS TO RABIES VIRUS

Paldean police and health officials have confirmed that a teenage girl has succumbed to the rabies virus, the first casualty of the virus of the year.

Rabies is a viral disease that typically affects certain Pokémon, usually the Zubat evolutionary line, but can be spread to humans via the bite of an infected Pokémon. Upon entry into the body, the virus takes several months to reach the brain, where it triggers symptoms such as excess salivation, difficulty swallowing, a fear of water, convulsions and other such symptoms. Once these symptoms start showing, death is near-universally guaranteed.

The patient, a Naranja Academy student named Nemona Algeria, was apparently bitten by an infected Zubat whilst on holiday in Kanto three months ago, which went unnoticed. She started developing symptoms approximately one week ago, and after consulting with various doctors Nemona's family made the hard decision to have her euthanised, which was carried out yesterday afternoon.

Naranja staff have reported Nemona's friends are "inconsolable" over the loss.

Medical professionals agree that had Nemona received a vaccine, which is widely available, she likely would've survived.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

(Said with difficulty, tears in her eyes and a mouth filled with frothy saliva, just before the lethal injection to end her life was given)

"I’m sorry… Mom, Da-Dad… Florian, and J-Juliana… *coughing fit* Don’t ever f-forget me. Okay?"

PALDEA WOMAN PASSES AWAY "WITH BABY IN ARMS"

Nemona Alegria will never get to see her baby's first steps, first words or any of their milestones.

It has been confirmed that the 26-year-old, a graduate of Naranja Academy, passed away yesterday from complications following the successful delivery of her daughter Poppy via what was believed to be "a routine caesarian section".

According to police and hospital records, shortly after the surgery was complete Nemona began to haemorrhage heavily. Her abdominal cavity filled with blood and she passed 12 hours after the surgery.

Her family maintains that the medical team delayed treatment too long and have stated they are planning to sue the hospital and doctors for negligence.

The hospital had denied the allegations and have stated any negligence on their part was "not a substantial factor" in Nemona's death.

The case is set to go to court next month.

PALDEA TEEN KILLED IN FIREWORKS ACCIDENT

Yesterday, a celebration of Paldea Day in that region turned tragic and claimed the life of a teen, authorities have confirmed.

According to police reports, at 10:30 pm yesterday a student by the name of Nemona Alegria was out in the city of Mesagoza - Paldea's capital - alongside several friends launching fireworks to celebrate the occasion.

PALDEA STUDENT'S DEATH LINKED TO "SEX ACCIDENT"

A teenage student of Naranja Academy in Paldea has been found deceased in her dorm room in what police are calling "a sex experiment gone horribly wrong".

According to police reports, at 6 pm yesterday Nemona Alegria, the president of Naranja's student council, was found unresponsive in the closet of her dorm room. She was found naked and strung up in a series of ropes, with one rope tightened around her neck.

She was cut down and rushed to the hospital, but attempts to revive her proved futile, and an hour after she arrived at the hospital she was pronounced dead. Police have ruled her death an accident.

It is believed Nemona was engaging in "autoerotic asphyxiation", the practice of cutting off one's air supply to heighten sexual pleasure.  This practice has been recorded since at least the late 17th century and is thought to have killed around 250 people per year.

Director Clavell of Naranja Academy did not respond to the UNN's request for comment.

PALDEAN SERIAL KILLER CLAIMS NEW VICTIM

The search for Nemona Alegria, a missing Paldean teen who studied at the famed Naranja Academy, has ended in tragedy.

Police confirmed today that her mutilated corpse had been found in a cave in the southern province of Paldea, and it was also confirmed she had been dead for several days. The body was found decapitated and with a circle-like symbol carved in its chest, and with a used condom next to it.

Although the circumstances are not fully clear, police believe her death and several other deaths have been linked to "the Shadow Hunter", a serial killer who has been active in southern Paldea for two months now. According to police reports they escaped from North Paldea Correctional Facility six months ago and have been operating in the southern province since.

Police state they are working diligently to "find the killer and bring them to justice".

Director Clavell of Naranja Academy reportedly "had an emotional breakdown" upon learning of Nemona's death, according to staff. He has declared three days of mourning across all of Naranja.

Anyone who has seen the killer is advised not to approach them and urged to contact the police.

PALDEA GIRL KILLED IN FREAK MRI ACCIDENT

A 17-year-old girl has died after undergoing an MRI exam in a Paldea hospital when the machine's powerful magnetic field jerked a metal oxygen canister across the room, crushing her head.

According to Paldean authorities, the procedure was performed after the patient, Nemona Alegria, underwent surgery for a minor brain tumour last week. The canister fractured her skull and inflicted such serious brain injuries that she succumbed to them yesterday.

The machine's magnet has a magnetic strength of 15,000 gauss, which is around 30,000 times stronger than our planet's magnetic field and 200 times stronger than a common refrigerator magnet.

The hospital's president has issued a statement accepting "full responsibility for the accident" and that "his heart and sorrow are with Nemona's family at this time". He has also launched an investigation into the matter.

Around 55 million MRI procedures are performed globally every year, the vast, vast, vast majority without complications.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"MS. LOVE-DOVE" IDENTIFIED IN NARANJA SCANDAL

New details have emerged in the Poképhillia scandal that has been plaguing Paldea's prestigious Naranja Academy for some time now.

According to Paldean authorities, the girl at the centre of the scandal has been identified as Nemona Alegria, the president of Naranja's student council.

From what has been gathered, over the span of several weeks, Nemona's friends filmed and distributed Poképhillic pornography of Nemona being both anally and vaginally penetrated - sometimes both at once - by various Pokémon under the alias "Ms. Love-Dove".

It has also become known that this activity has ended in fatality - during the most recent incident, whilst Nemona was having intercourse with a Goodra, its penis ended up perforating her colon, allowing peritonitis to settle in and claim Nemona's life.

Naranja director Clavell did not respond to the UNN's request for comment.

The Paldean authorities have stated they are looking into making Poképhillia a felony offence in light of the incident.

NARANJA STUDENT KILLED BY OWN STARTER

A student of Paldea's respected Naranja Academy was killed by her own starter Pokémon - a Skeledirge - yesterday, according to police.

Nemona Alegria, one of the best students in Naranja and president of its student council, received the Skeledirge as a Fuecoco three months ago. The relationship between them was described as "healthy and happy", according to Nemona's friends.

The incident itself took place around 2:15 pm yesterday. According to eyewitnesses, Skeledirge and Nemona were having a picnic by a stream when Skeledirge suddenly grabbed Nemona by the leg in its jaws and rolled with such force that Nemona's leg was ripped off - Skeledirge subsequently ate the leg.

Although Nemona was put in an ambulance and rushed to the hospital, she succumbed to blood loss fifteen minutes after the attack. It was subsequently determined Skeledirge was suffering from Abrupt Aggression Syndrome (AAS), a prion disease that can cause even normally docile Pokémon to suddenly become extremely animalistic and aggressive. The Skeledirge has since been destroyed.

Director Clavell of Naranja has stated, "I could not have foreseen that when I gave Nemona the Fuecoco three months ago, I would be giving her the Pokémon that would end up killing her.". A week of mourning has been declared across all of Naranja.

PALDEA GIRL ACHIEVES HAPPY ENDING TO LIFE

An unusual death has been reported from the prestigious Naranja Academy in Paldea.  More specifically, a teenage student has managed to achieve what is casually called “a happy ending to life”.

According to police reports, Nemona Alegria, the president of the school's student council, was having sexual intercourse with her boyfriend Florian Scarlet at 10:45 pm yesterday when she abruptly began complaining of arm pain before collapsing on him just after they both climaxed.

PALDEA STUDENT DIES FOLLOWING "PSYCHIC REVELATION"

A Paldea student has died following an encounter with a Psychic-type Pokémon, according to police reports.

At noon yesterday, Nemona Algeria, a top student of Naranja Academy, visited a psychic booth run by a young man (who is being kept anonymous at his own request) and his Alakazam. Nemona asked to see what other universes held in store for her, and the man has his Alakazam check.

The man then apparently told Nemona that what he saw horrified him - apparently, in practically every other universe he checked (28, according to him) Nemona died in some painful or strange manner shortly before she graduated and that this universe was just a fluke in that Nemona survived.

Police reports then state that shortly after Nemona received this revelation she began complaining of arm pain before collapsing from shock-induced cardiac arrest. Paramedics were called and Nemona was rushed to the hospital but attempts to restart her heart were unsuccessful and Nemona was pronounced dead an hour after the incident.

The man has stated he "did not intend for any of this to happen". Nemona's family have indicated they are planning on suing him but have not given further details.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Y-you're lying, right?"

*Nemona suddenly begins clasping her arm*

"Aggh! My arm hurts like hell! Someone get me an ambulance!"

*Nemona collapses*

PALDEA STUDENT KILLED IN TRUCK ACCIDENT

A Paldea teen has been killed after being run over by a truck, it has been reported.

The incident took place in central Paldea at around 2 pm yesterday. According to police reports several students of the famed Naranja Academy had assembled at one of the five "Star Rush" bases of Paldea. The students were all members of Team Star, an organisation of Naranja students that serves as an "anti-bullying vanguard", according to their leader Penny Botan. The sole exception was Nemona Alegria - who was not a Star member but was allowed to attend because she was one of Penny's personal friends.

The main event of this assembly was the reveal of a new "Starmobile", a custom truck driven by Team Star leaders with a specially modified Revavroom attached to the front. As the Starmobile emerged from the garage at the base, being driven by Team Star boss Mela Maji, the attendees of the assembly were all gathered across the entrance road in awe at its splendour.

And then disaster struck. Nemona was struck by a small rock (apparently launched by a nearby Pokémon battle) with sufficient force that she fell forward onto the road just as the Starmobile approached. The Starmobile ended up running over Nemona's head, which according to eyewitness reports "popped like a watermelon". Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.

Penny has issued a statement that "this tragedy could not have been foreseen" and that "her heart stands with Nemona's family at this time". She has also had Mela's Team Star membership suspended whilst an investigation is ongoing.

Mela was arrested following the accident and is set to go to trial on manslaughter charges in three weeks' time.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Oh wow! That's the Starmobile! It's even cooler than I thought it would-"

(Rocks hits her and knocks her down)

"WOOOOOOAAAAA-"

(Cut off by a crunching sound as the Starmobile crushes her skull)

PALDEA YOUTH TAKES OWN LIFE FOLLOWING HEARTBREAK

A star student of Paldea's esteemed Naranja Academy was found dead in her dorm room last week, having apparently taken her own life.

Nemona Alegria, president of Naranja's student council, was described by her friend Juliana Violet (who gave the eulogy at her funeral) as "the most competitive girl you could meet. She never let anything, not even defeat, slow her down - if anything it only motivated her to become stronger. She was a top student, an icon of the academy, but most importantly, she was a friend. She will be missed."

From what Nemona's friends have been willing to tell the UNN, approximately two months ago Nemona had an emotional and mental breakdown when she learned her boyfriend had been cheating on her. This quickly descended into worrying behaviours such as self-harm and talking about death a lot. Despite the best efforts of mental health professionals she was found deceased in her dorm room last week, having used her uniform's tie to hang herself.

It is speculated the person Nemona's now ex-boyfriend was cheating on her with was Geeta Grimrose, the famed "La Primera" of Paldea, but Geeta has fiercely denied this.

Nemona's family have returned to her family home in southern Paldea to bury her and were not available for comment.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

(From her suicide note)

"I hope you're happy, Florian. Don't forget, you did this. I'd say fuck you, but I'm clearly not doing that anymore, am I? So goodbye. Have fun with La Zorra."

TITAN POKEMON KILLS PALDEA STUDENT

It has been confirmed by Paldean authorities that one of the five "Titan Pokémon" who inhabit the region has claimed the life of a female student of the acclaimed Naranja Academy.

The Titans are a group of five Pokémon distinguished from others by their immense size and fierce territoriality, which was derived from them eating Herba Mystica plants from Area Zero of the Great Crater. They have become somewhat of an attraction in Paldea, but visitors are warned not to approach them for their own safety.

According to police reports, Nemona Alegria, a top Naranja student, had apparently climbed the mountain where one of the Titans, a giant Klawf, was residing in an attempt to catch it. However, just after the battle began the Klawf elected to strike Nemona with its claw, knocking her back down the mountain and inflicting a set of serious injuries, including several broken bones and a punctured lung and spleen.

Nemona's Rotom Phone contacted paramedics who rushed her to the hospital, but around half an hour after the encounter, she succumbed to internal bleeding from her injuries.

Director Clavell of Naranja has stated that he is in shock over the loss. He has made counselling available for those who need it.

The Paldean authorities have reiterated that incidents like this are why they ban people from approaching the Titans in the first place and have stated that "it is a shame that Nemona had to learn this the hard way".

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Oh boy! I can't wait to see the look on Arven's face when he finds out I caught one of the Titan Pokémo-"

(The Klawf strikes her)

"OW! Oof! Agh! Ow!"

WOOLOO KILL PALDEA TEEN

Wooloo are generally thought of as docile, friendly Pokémon that don't like fighting outside of battle, but tragedy has struck, for a flock of Wooloo have managed to kill a Paldea teen in an accident yesterday.

According to police reports, two students of Naranja Academy - Florian Scarlet and Nemona Alegria - were making their way to the eastern city of Cascarrafa for a friendly bout with the town's Gym Leader, Kofu Hydregia. They were riding on the legendary Pokémon Koraidon, which according to the Paldea Pokédex is a prehistoric ancestor of Cyclizar, brought to the present by a time machine created by resident professor Sada Chronos.

At around 11:15 am a flock of Wooloo, imported from Galar, suddenly rushed onto the pathway and Koraidon ended up hitting them, which hurled the two trainers off, inflicting serious injuries when they collided with the ground. Although both were rushed to the hospital, Nemona was declared dead on arrival. Florian underwent emergency surgery and his condition remains stable. Koraidon only received minor injuries and is expected to recover swiftly.

An autopsy on Nemona revealed she had hit the ground at an angle that managed to break her neck between the C2 and C3 vertebrae, which killed her instantly.

Director Clavell of Naranja was unavailable for comment, the reason being "personal reasons", according to his staff.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Hey Florian, look at all those Wooloo-Oh my Arceus LOOK OUT!!!"

Paldean authorities have confirmed that a teenage girl was flattened and killed by a steamroller in an accident yesterday.

According to police, at around 3 pm yesterday the victim, one Nemona Alegria, passed by a construction site for a new road where a steamroller was being used to flatten the asphalt. Sighting a wild Tinkaton, she stopped in her tracks to attempt to sneak up on it. At the same time the steamroller's operator got out of the vehicle to talk to his boss, but he forgot to engage the vehicle's hydraulic brake.

As a result the vehicle began rolling down the slight hill it was on, and with Nemona unknowingly in its path the steamroller knocked her down before gruesomely crushing her into an indecipherable bloody mess. According to eyewitness reports Nemona's organs were squeezed out of her mouth as if she were a tube of toothpaste. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.

According to the Definitive Pokédex, when the Dragon/Flying type Pokémon Salamence is Mega Evolved using Salamencite, its aggression is cranked up significantly, and it is likely to turn against even its trainer. This has been demonstrated first-hand to the citizens of Paldea after an incident involving a Mega Salamance claimed the life of a female youth yesterday.

According to eyewitness reports, at 10:35 am yesterday Nemona Alegria, a student of Naranja Academy, was having a friendly battle with fellow student Arven Pepper, in which she used a Salamence.

NEMONA ALEGRIA PASSES AWAY

The family of Nemona Alegria, former director of Naranja Academy, have confirmed today that Nemona passed away peacefully from natural causes yesterday afternoon, with her entire family and her close personal friend Penny Botan by her side. She was 103.

Nemona lived a very colourful life. Born in 2006 to a native Paldean mother and a Unovan father who specialised in electronics, Nemona attended the prestigious Naranja Academy, and in 2021 at the age of 15 she passed the Paldean Champion Assessment test to become Paldea's youngest champion, a title she would hold until fellow Naranja student Juliana Violet usurped it at the age of 13 the following year.

After she graduated she would be selected by World Monarch Ash Ketchum to become one of his travelling partners to explore the mysterious region of Niemcia. Following her return one year later she took up a job as a teacher at Naranja, where she was noted for her "fun, energetic teaching style" and was a favourite amongst students and staff alike. After Naranja director Clavell Amigo retired in late 2049, Nemona was nominated for the position and was elected by the staff council.

As Naranja director, Nemona was known for being "someone who the staff and students could look up to, and a woman who aimed to make the school a lively place but also maintained order. She would hold the position for 31 years, where she would be blessed with a family and would be on the front row to see Penny become Niemcia's champion in 2063.

In 2080 Nemona announced her retirement as Naranja director, citing her advanced age and mounting health problems, and she retreated to her family home in Cabo Poco to live out the rest of her life.

She is survived by her husband Juan Alegria, her four children, nine grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren - and a legacy that has shaped Naranja Academy forever.

ADULT LIVESTREAM ENDS FATALLY FOR PALDEA GIRL

It's well-known amongst Paldeans that Iono Ibix, the gym leader of the city of Levincia is also a streamer, her livestream Iono Zone having begun to attract followers outside of Paldea lately. It's also an open secret that she runs an adult livestream known as Iono Zone XXX on the side, although the Paldea Pokémon League doesn't like to talk about that. But now it appears they will have to, for Iono has landed herself in hot water after a sexual experiment she tried with a teenage girl resulted in said girl's accidental death.

According to livestream footage, Iono convinced the girl, Nemona Alegria, to allow the former to attach the latter to a set of electrodes that would use electricity to sexually stimulate Nemona's body, with donations from the livestream's chat controlling the shocks. That latter point ended up proving fatal, for sometime during the live stream, as Iono masturbated in the background, the shocks Nemona received from the chat escalated to the point where they disrupted the electrical rhythm of Nemona's heart, triggering cardiac arrest.

Iono summoned paramedics who rushed Nemona to the hospital, but they proved unable to restart Nemona's heart, and two hours after the livestream began she was pronounced dead. Iono was subsequently arrested and faces manslaughter charges.

Nemona's family did not respond to the UNN's request for comment, nor did the City of Levincia.

DYNAMAX ACCIDENT KILLS PALDEA TEEN

If there is one thing Galar is proud of, it's their access to the Dynamax phenomenon. This unique ability allows Pokémon in Galar to grow to many times their standard size temporarily and unleash powerful Max Moves - used carefully, Dynamax can turn the tide of a battle. However, every Galarian has it drilled into them that Dynamax can also be dangerous or even life-threatening if it is not used carefully - and this lesson has been demonstrated after an accident involving the Dynamax phenomenon yesterday claimed the life of a Paldean tourist.

According to the coroner's office, Nemona Alegria from Paldea was on holiday in Galar alongside her family when she decided to head to the Wild Area in central Galar and try out a Max Raid Battle - a special kind of battle in Galar where four trainers battle a Dynamax Pokémon. According to her fellow battlers, the battle was against a Dynamaxed Meowth, more specifically one with the Gigantamax Factor.

The battle went well and eventually, the Dynamaxed Meowth's HP was depleted. But then tragedy struck - as the Scratch Cat Pokémon collapsed from exhaustion it ended up falling directly on top of Nemona, crushing her. It was hastily caught and once the battlers exited the den paramedics were summoned, but they were forced to pronounce Nemona dead at the scene from her injuries.

Champion Gloria Bell of Galar has offered her condolences to Nemona's family.

PALDEA YOUTH DIES AFTER FALLING INTO VOLCANO

The police force of the Hoenn region has confirmed that a teenage girl from Paldea has been issued a "one-of-a-kind death certificate" following an accident three days ago.

According to police reports the girl, Nemona Alegria, was visiting Mt. Chimney with her family on holiday when she decided to pose for a selfie at the rim of the volcano's crater. But then disaster struck - she accidentally leaned too far back and lost her balance, falling down and hitting the volcano's side before tumbling down and landing in the lava of the crater.

Upon landing in the lava, she immediately burst into flames and her horrified family could only watch on as Nemona screamed in agonising pain for five seconds before she succumbed to said flames.

It was deemed too risky for her body to be recovered, so a Metagross was brought in and its Hyper Beam was used to destroy Nemona's body at the site.

Curiously, around the same time a homeless man who appeared to be a crack addict fell into the volcano, along with a strange golden ring. Shortly after the incident, a nearby tower exploded for unknown reasons.

COMBEES ATTACK, KILL PALDEA YOUTH

Sinnohite police have reported that a swarm of Combees attacked and killed a tourist from Paldea yesterday morning.

According to police reports, at 10 am yesterday morning a trainer making their way through Route 205 in western Sinnoh discovered Nemona Alegria, a tourist from Paldea, unresponsive near a honey tree in the southern portion of the route.

The tragedy took place last week. According to the coroner's office, Nemona was having a swim in the pool for leisure at 7 pm yesterday when pool workers arrived to begin closing the pool up. They pulled two covers over the pool and turned the lights out before leaving - somehow, they failed to notice that Nemona was still in the pool and ended up inadvertently trapping her underneath the water's surface.

When Nemona failed to return to the school grounds a panicked search was launched in Cascarrafa, and 25 minutes after said search began Nemona was discovered lifeless underneath the pool's covers. Paramedics made several failed attempts to resuscitate her, and after police arrived at the scene Nemona was pronounced dead.

The lawsuit has named the City of Cascarrafa, its school district and Pools'n'Pools Inc. (the company that produced the pool cover) as defendants and claimed that their combined negligence led to Nemona's death.

The case is set to go to court next week.

TWO GIRLS FOUND DEAD IN MURDER-SUICIDE

Dark news has emerged from Paldea - two teenage girls have been found dead in what authorities are treating as a murder-suicide.

The culprit, Nemona Alegria, was a star student at Naranja Academy and president of the school's student council. She was described as "a competitive girl who never backed down from a challenge" and "the crème de la crème of Naranja's students".

Meanwhile, the victim, Juliana Violet, was a young teenager who had recently transferred to Naranja Academy after moving to Paldea from her native Kalos. She was described as a "bubbly girl who quickly made friends with everyone". The murder-suicide has shocked Paldea.

Sometime yesterday morning both Nemona and Juliana went missing from the school grounds, prompting police to conduct a thorough search of the Paldea region in hopes of finding them. Three hours later both Nemona and Juliana would be found dead in the basement of the Artazon gym, with Nemona having one arm around Juliana's body. The murder weapon, a large hunting knife, was found nearby.

It is suspected that the murder-suicide was romantic in nature, as Nemona's diary (which has been seized as evidence) has detailed Nemona's increasingly unhinged thoughts about Juliana, stating that Juliana was "hers, and hers only" and that "all options were on the table to ensure this".

It is believed, according to the injuries noted, that Nemona used the knife to stab Juliana to death before slitting her own throat. There is also evidence that Nemona raped Juliana prior to carrying out the grisly murder-suicide.

Investigation into the crime is continuing.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Don't worry, Juliana. We're going to be together forever... I promise... Ha ha. Hahahaha! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!"

NARANJA STUDENT DIES ABRUPTLY

Naranja Academy, one of the most esteemed schools in Paldea and the world, has been struck by tragedy. Apparently a teenage student unexpectedly died during one of her lessons.

At around 1 p.m. on Thursday last week Nemona Alegria, president of Naranja's student council, was attending a history lesson when halfway through said history lesson she reportedly slumped into her seat. After some time the history teacher (who is being kept anonymous at his request) noticed Nemona and, thinking she was sleeping, asked her to wake up. When she failed to respond he jokingly decided to check for Nemona's pulse but to his surprise, he was unable to find it.

The teacher hastily summoned an ambulance and Nemona was rushed to the hospital, but after one and a half hours' worth of failed attempts to resuscitate her Nemona was pronounced dead.

Director Clavell of Nemona has stated "The heart of Naranja goes out to Nemona's family at this time" and has a week's worth of mourning declared across Naranja.

Several tests and an autopsy were unable to determine what caused Nemona's death. The cause of death has been ruled as "sudden unexpected death syndrome" (SUDS).

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

(According to her classmates)

"Man, this class sucks. I think I'm gonna die from boredom..."

HISUI-ERA SKELETON IDENTIFIED, IDENTITY SHOCKING

Surprising news has emerged from Sinnoh concerning the skeleton that was recently discovered at an archæological dig site in the southwest of the region. The skeleton is 400 years old and dates from the so-called "frontier period" of Sinnoh's history when the region was still called "Hisui", its old Kantonian name.

The skeleton has provided an exact DNA match to Nemona Alegria, a student from Paldea who went missing one month ago. Archaeologists say the discovery was "probably the most shocking thing they have seen yet". They are currently unsure as to how Nemona's DNA came to be at the site.

Some scientists have stated that the presence of Nemona's DNA in a 400-year-old skeleton could suggest that Nemona somehow travelled back in time, perhaps with the aid of a legendary Pokémon. These scientists have also noted the presence of several weapons of the Pearl Clan, a now-defunct Hisui-based organisation at the site. Based on the presence of these weapons and the fractures on the skeleton, they hypothesise that Nemona somehow encountered the Pearl Clan, accidentally angered them and was subsequently beaten to death.

The Paldean authorities have stated that if the time travel theory is true, they will pronounce Nemona dead in absentia.

Investigation into the skeleton continues.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

(According to Irida's diary)

"And so that's how I got here! And that's also why Dialga is better than Palkia! Wha-Hey now, we can talk this ove-"

PALDEA TEENAGER FATALLY POISONED BY NEW HERBA MYSTICA

Authorities have confirmed that a teenage girl from Paldea has lost her life after being fatally poisoned by a sandwich over the weekend.

According to Arven Pepper, the sandwich maker, he and Nemona had come across a brand-new Herba Mystica, a plant native to Area Zero of Paldea's Great Crater. They decided to use it to make sandwiches, so they did just that.

After Nemona ate (Arven had already had lunch so he was not hungry) they returned to their respective dorm rooms to relax. However, Nemona's friends only became worried when she failed to respond to a text message about plans for later that afternoon, and when they entered her dorm room they found Nemona sprawled over her dorm bed unresponsive. Paramedics were contacted and she was rushed to the hospital, but Nemona was pronounced dead on arrival.

A toxicology report has shown that the Herba Mystica contained cicutoxin, the same poison found in water hemlock, and it is believed Nemona was fatally poisoned by said toxin.

Following the incident Arven was arrested and is set to go to trial on involuntary manslaughter charges in one month.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Oooohhh... I knew I shouldn't have eaten that sandwich..."

PALDEA YOUTH DIES AFTER PACEMAKER HACKED

A teenage youth from Paldea has passed away after police say "the pacemaker in her body was hacked and her heart shut off".

According to police and medical records, the victim, a 17-year-old Naranja Academy student by the name of Nemona Alegria, had had a pacemaker installed in her heart one week prior to her death. One hour before her death, another Naranja student, 16-year-old Penny Botan, was apparently bored and decided to see if she could hack Nemona's pacemaker to control her heartbeat.

Once inside the pacemaker’s system she decided to "alter the shocks the device was giving to Nemona's heart", with the result that Nemona was sent into cardiac arrest. Upon realising her mistake Penny contacted paramedics who rushed Nemona to the hospital, but they were unable to restart her heart, and an hour after Penny hacked Nemona's pacemaker the latter was pronounced dead.

Following the incident, the school staff handed Penny over to the police and she has been charged with one count of murder. She is set to go to trial in three months' time.

Happy Health Inc., the company that produced the pacemaker, has stated they are working on a patch to patch security vulnerabilities in their pacemakers in light of the incident.

PALDEA GIRL KILLED BY FALLING KNIFE

A teenager from Paldea has reportedly been killed "after a knife fell on her" whilst she was out enjoying a stroll.

According to police reports, Nemona Alegria, 17, was enjoying a stroll near League Tower northwest of Mesagoza at around 6 p.m. yesterday. Just as she began passing by the building, a hunting knife was dropped from the roof of the tower - apparently from a novice Trainer who was dared to do so by friends.

Just after Nemona passed the Tower's doors she stopped and looked up - apparently having seen a shiny flying Pokémon - just in time for the falling knife to drive itself into her face. Paramedics were contacted and Nemona was rushed to the hospital, but her injury caught up with her an hour or so after the incident.

The trainer who dropped the knife has been arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter. The case is set to go to court in two weeks' time.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Come on! Where is that shiny-AAAAAA"

(Nemona is cut off as the knife pierces her face, rendering her unconscious in the process)

TEEN GIRL DIES AFTER FALLING DOWN ELEVATOR SHAFT

A teenage girl from Paldea has been killed after she apparently fell down an elevator shaft in an accident last week.

The accident took place at the prestigious Naranja Academy in Paldea. According to the coroner's office the victim, Nemona Alegria, had just concluded a geography class and made her way to an elevator to take it down to a lower floor, where her next class would be held. She pressed the button to bring the elevator up to her, but unfortunately when the doors opened the elevator was not actually there and Nemona plunged five stories down the shaft, landing on top of the elevator which was positioned at the very bottom of the shaft.

Nemona was pulled from the shaft by firefighters three hours later, but paramedics were forced to pronounce her dead at the scene. The elevator was found to have suffered a malfunction in its pulley system.

Director Clavell of Naranja could not comment on the matter due to "personal grief", according to his staff.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

(According to Juliana)

"Ugh, finally! This elevator is so slow-WWAAAHHH!!!"

(A metallic thud is heard as Nemona collides with the elevator's roof)

GIRL DIES AFTER BEING STRUCK BY AMBULANCE

Normally, the arrival of an ambulance at an accident scene signifies that lives are going to be saved. However, a case of dark irony has emerged from the city of Alfornada in Paldea - a teenage girl has died after she was struck by one of these emergency vehicles.

According to the coroner's office, at around 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon, the girl encountered an unknown wild Pokémon that sprayed her in the eyes with Sweet Scent, and whilst she was temporarily blinded she wandered onto the road and was subsequently struck by the ambulance, which was returning from Levincia Medical College.

Although paramedics swiftly rushed the girl to Levadura Hospital, she succumbed to her injuries half an hour after the accident. She has since been identified as 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, a student of the prestigious Naranja Academy. She was set to graduate next year.

As of now the accident is still under investigation and no charges have been filed so far.

FEMALE PALDEA STUDENT DIES AFTER BOTCHED ORGAN TRANSPLANT

Disturbing news from the Levincia Medical College in Paldea - a female patient has passed away after a botched organ transplant three weeks ago.

According to hospital records, the patient in question, Nemona Alegria, had been admitted to the hospital several months ago as she needed a liver transplant due to a severe infection of hepatitis C. She underwent her transplant surgery three weeks ago using a liver from a deceased donor that had been flown in from Mesagoza.

However, just as the surgery was ending it was discovered that the blood types of patient and organ were incompatible - Nemona had type B blood and the new liver was from someone with type A blood. The two blood types are incompatible. Nemona was immediately racked by a series of seizures as her new organs started to fail, and she also began to suffer from kidney failure.

The hospital concealed their error for twelve days before they were able to find a replacement liver with the correct blood type, but it was too late - due to the trauma of immune rejection Nemona had suffered irreversible brain damage, and she was declared brain dead the next day. She was 17.

Nemona's parents have stated they plan to sue the hospital for negligence but have not given any further details.

ILLEGAL TINKATON BRINGS DOWN FLYING TAXI, KILLS TOURIST

Galarian authorities have confirmed that a Paldean tourist has been killed after the Flying Taxi she was using was brought down by "an illegally imported Tinkaton".

According to police reports, Nemona Alegria, 17, had set off in a Flying Taxi from Wyndon to meet up with friends at around 9:30 am yesterday afternoon. However when she failed to arrive at their planned rendezvous point said friends became worried and contacted the police, who began a throughout search of the areas along the Flying Taxi's planned flight path.

Two hours after the search began Nemona's Flying Taxi was found downed in the Wild Area just south of Motostoke by a group of volunteer trainers assisting with the search. Nemona was discovered inside, but after examining her attending paramedics were forced to pronounce her deceased at the scene.

A Tinkaton has also been sighted in the Wild Area - apparently an escapee from an illegal shipment of Paldean Pokémon conducted by Team Rocket's Paldean branch. In their native Paldea habitat Corviknight, the bird Pokémon that carries Galar's Flying Taxis, is enemies with Tinkaton. It is believed this Tinkaton was the one that brought down the Flying Taxi, and it has been captured whilst the investigation proceeds.

Gloria Bell, the Champion of Galar, has sent her condolences to Nemona's family.

PALDEA TOURIST FATALLY POISONED BY QWILFISH MEAT

Some chefs in Johto like to capture the dual-type Water/Poison Pokémon, Qwilfish, and prepare its flesh as a delicacy, the steaks reportedly having a "sweet but salty" taste to them. But Johto's Pokémon League is now looking to put an end to this practice, for a tourist from Paldea has been fatally poisoned after trying the meal last Friday.

According to friends, the tourist, a 17-year-old girl by the name of Nemona Alegria, was visiting Johto on holiday when she visited a restaurant in Olivine City so she could try a Qwilfish steak. However, approximately twenty minutes after Nemona ate the steak she began displaying the symptoms of Qwilfish poisoning, which include gastrointestinal distress, seizures and paralysis, amongst others. She was rushed to the hospital, but despite the best efforts of doctors Nemona's condition rapidly deteriorated, and four hours after she ate the steak Nemona was pronounced dead.

The internal organs of Qwilfish contain a toxic molecule known as tetrodotoxin, which is approximately 10,000 times more poisonous than cyanide. It is believed the chef who prepared the Qwilfish made a mistake and accidentally left a slice of organ meat in the dish - with enough poison to kill Nemona. The chef has since been arrested and faces manslaughter charges.

The owner of the restaurant did not respond to the UNN's request for comment.

PALDEA TEENAGER KILLED IN ACCIDENT INVOLVING EJECTOR SEAT

The Paldea Pokémon League has reported that a teenage student of the esteemed Naranja Academy was killed in a "one-in-a-million" accident yesterday afternoon.

According to reports from the local Officer Jennys, the student, Nemona Alegria, had decided to obtain some decorations for her dorm room, so she had journeyed down to a thrift shop in the Paldean capital Mesagoza and bought a number of new decorations, including a new seat. Apparently, the seat was an old ejector seat from a recently-decommissioned fighter jet.

After Nemona set up the new decorations in her room she sat down to do her homework, but before she began she pulled a lever she found on the side of the seat to adjust it. However, unbeknownst to her the lever was actually the lever that controlled the ejector seat's rockets - and said rockets were still live. As a result, the rockets detonated, propelling Nemona at high speed into the ceiling of her dorm room.

Upon hearing the noise fellow students hurried to her dorm room and when Nemona was discovered embedded in the ceiling paramedics were contacted, but they were forced to pronounce Nemona dead at the scene from her injuries.

The person who sold Nemona the ejector seat has been taken into custody pending an investigation.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Okay, let me just get comfy... lever... lever... found it!"

BANG! CRASH!

NARANJA STUDENT STRUCK DEAD BY LIGHTNING

A Paldea girl has died after she was struck by lightning Wednesday night.

The death took place in the grasslands of western Paldea where two Naranja Academy students, Florian Scarlet and Nemona Alegria, were camping for the night. According to Florian, the tragedy took place at around 11:45 pm Wednesday night.

He recalls that Nemona had to leave the tent temporarily to gather food whilst he stayed with their Pokémon.

He hastily summoned paramedics, but they were forced to pronounce Nemona deceased at the scene.

The odds of any one person being struck by lightning during a given year are less than one in a million, and around 90% of lightning strike victims survive.

TEENAGE GIRL DIES AFTER READING "HORRIFIC FANFICTION"

Our Paldean reporters have tragic news: a teenage student of Naranja Academy abruptly passed away yesterday morning after reading what police are calling "a horrific fanfiction".

According to the evidence police currently have, at 6:00 a.m. yesterday Nemona Alegria, the head of Naranja's student council, was browsing on the Internet to pass the time before classes started for the day. Browsing the fanfiction website Archive of Our Own, she happened to come across a fanfiction titled The Many Deaths of Nemona Alegria, and we can only presume that what she saw inside horrified her.

Apparently, the fanfiction included a compilation of short news-like articles, all of which involved Nemona dying in some strange, unusual or painful manner. At around 6:15 am Naranja staff received a frantic message from Nemona's dorm asking for an ambulance and when they went to check on her they found Nemona unconscious from what was determined to be a heart attack brought on by the shock of reading the fanfiction. Paramedics were summoned and Nemona was rushed to the hospital, but they proved unable to restart her heart and one and a half hours later Nemona was pronounced dead.

Director Clavell of Naranja is "not taking the loss well", according to his staff. The author of the fanfiction (who is being kept anonymous) has been taken into police custody pending an investigation, and the fanfiction itself has been removed.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Wh-what the fuck is this shit?! What kind of sadistic fuck enjoys fucking with me like this?! Wha-wha-ahhhh!!! My arm! HELP!!!"

GIRL, 17, KILLED BY "ALTERNATE VERSION OF HERSELF"

Odd news from Paldea - a student of the world-famous Naranja Academy has passed away following an encounter with what appears to be "a version of herself from a parallel dimension".

According to eyewitnesses, at around 9:15 am yesterday Nemona Alegria, a star student of the academy and president of the academy's student council was off on a stroll on the pathway between the academy and the southern town of Cabo Poco when she witnessed a time-space rift open up ahead, and out of said rift came an exact duplicate of Nemona, clad in a uniform highlighted with violet instead of scarlet. This Nemona introduced herself as a counterpart of Nemona from a parallel dimension who attended a school known as "Uva Academy".  She challenged Nemona to a battle, and Nemona accepted.

The battle lasted around eight minutes before eventually, Nemona came out on top. However, the alternate Nemona promptly accused her of cheating, sparking an argument between the two that ended up escalating into a physical altercation. Said altercation turned deadly when the alternate Nemona punched Nemona square in the chest, triggering commotio cordis that sent Nemona into cardiac arrest. She was rushed to the hospital where paramedics tried in vain to restart her heart, and an hour after the blow landed Nemona was pronounced dead.

The alternate Nemona managed to escape back to her dimension before police could apprehend her.

FEMALE STUDENT "DISSOLVED ALIVE" BY VICTREEBEL

The dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon Victreebel is known for dissolving its prey using powerful, sweet-smelling acids. It has now been proven these acids can dissolve human flesh too after a student of Paldea's Naranja Academy was killed by a Victreebel whilst on holiday.

A press report states that Nemona Alegria, 17, aimed to complete the Kanto section of the National Pokédex whilst on holiday there. At noon she came across a Victreebell on Route 7 between Celadon City and Saffron City. It is suspected this Victreebel was released by a Trainer who saw no use for it - Victreebel are not very common in the wild.

After sedating the Victrebel with Hypnosis, she moved a rock over so she could peer into its inner chamber, seemingly out of curiosity, and it is believed she accidentally lost her balance and fell into the Victreebel's body, being dissolved alive by its acidic internal juices. The situation was later discovered by a trainer passing by on their Gym Challenge - they swiftly pulled Nemona's partially digested body out of the Victreebel, but she was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.

An investigation into the accident is ongoing.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Huh, so that's what it looks like insi-Wah! AAAAHHHHH!!!"

TEENAGE TRAINER KILLED BY MYSTERIOUS CREATURE

The UNN's Paldea office has received word that a teenage trainer was killed by "a mysterious creature" early Saturday morning.

All that is known of the event is an eyewitness report given by Juliana Violet, a student of the esteemed Naranja Academy, who was with the deceased trainer at the time of the incident. According to her, at around 7:00 a.m. she and Nemona Alegria, the president of Naranja's student council, were out on a stroll on Poco Path when they saw a time-space rift open up. Out of the rift came a creature that neither trainer had ever seen before. It was described as being around 1.7 metres tall, with green mottled skin, four short legs and a sad-looking face.

Out of curiosity Nemona cautiously approached the creature. When she got close it began making a hissing sound, and then it abruptly exploded. The blast was so powerful that Nemona was dismembered by the force and her body parts were scattered a good distance around the site of detonation. As for Juliana, the force of the blast was powerful enough to knock her off her feet and she sustained minor injuries.

Paramedics were forced to pronounce Nemona deceased at the scene. An investigation is ongoing as to the creature's origins.

"SONS OF DISTORTION" CULT DEFEATED, MISSING TEEN FOUND DEAD

The Paldean Pokémon League has confirmed that the cult known as the "Sons of Distortion" have been dismantled following a raid at their underground headquarters in Area Zero on Friday morning. It has also been confirmed that missing teenager Nemona Alegria, who was abducted by the cult three days ago, has been found deceased.

The raid began at 10:00 am with the Elite Four of Paldea launching an all-out assault on the complex with the aid of several Paradox Pokémon and their own teams. After the main forces of the cult were defeated they advanced onward, subduing any resistance, until they arrived at what seemed to be the most important room of the complex - a mystical altar being the central piece.

Inside the altar room, the Elite Four found what appeared to be the cult's leader and their close associates dead from apparent suicides. Nemona was also discovered in the room, strapped to the altar. Her chest had been sliced open and her heart ripped out, burnt in a sacrificial flame nearby. It is believed the Sons of Distortion did this to appease the mythical Pokémon Giratina.

Her body has been returned to her family, who plan to bury her at an undisclosed location.

PALDEA TRAINER KILLED BY "ROUND, PINK CREATURE"

A bizarre occurrence has taken place in Paldea that has resulted in the death of a teenage trainer.

According to footage obtained from a CCTV camera in the city of Montenevera at around 11:20 pm yesterday morning Nemona Algeria, a student of Paldea's Naranja Academy, was taking a night stroll at the city's outskirts when to her surprise a portal opened in front of her. Out of the portal came a small creature - described as having a round pink body, stubby hands and feet, and donning a hat consisting of a golden band with a green gem in the centre and flames surging from the top.

After a few seconds Nemona grew excited and took out a Poké Ball, throwing it at the creature in an attempt to catch it. Although the creature was initially pulled into the ball, it managed to break free after a few seconds, and then it promptly ran up to Nemona and unleashed a massive fiery blast from its mouth that set Nemona ablaze. Upon hearing her screams of pain nearby bystanders put her out and she was rushed to the hospital, but several hours after the incident Nemona succumbed to her injuries.

The creature was able to escape before it could be captured. It has since been sighted in western Paldea using a powerful suction ability to inhale Pokémon and steal their powers for its own use. Anyone who has sighted it is advised not to approach it and is instead urged to contact local Poké rangers.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Aw man, it broke out! Oh well, I guess I'll have to try aga-"

COULD BOOK BE LINKED TO PALDEA GIRL'S DEATH?

Could a book be linked to the sudden death of a female Paldea student? That is the question Paldean police have been asking for some time now.

According to the information our Paldea reporters have access to, at around 1:30 pm yesterday afternoon a female Naranja Academy student, Nemona Alegria, had apparently told friends she was going to the city of Porto Marinada to "catch some sea air" for a bit. However, when she failed to return at the time she specified her worried friends contacted the police who began a search of the region. At 3:50 pm Nemona's body was discovered on the pathway leading to the town. Since it was already showing signs of rigor mortis, paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.

The case has taken a new turn as police have seized a book belonging to a male student of Levincia High School that is believed to somehow be connected to a spate of recent deaths in Paldea, including Nemona's. The book is black in colour with the white words "Death Note" on the front cover, and inside police found a number of names of people from Paldea, and it has been determined that all of the names were written shortly prior to the people's reported deaths.

The owner of the book is reportedly cooperating with police whilst an investigation is ongoing.

TEEN STUDENT KILLED BY LEFTOVER PALDEAN CIVIL WAR BOMB

The UNN's Paldea office has received word from multiple sources that a teenage trainer was killed after she "set off a leftover bomb from the Paldean Civil War".

According to the available information, at around 5:15 pm Tuesday afternoon the victim, Nemona Alegria, was in the grasslands of the southern province alongside several friends with the intent to catch a shiny Pokémon, who she planned to gift to a new student of Naranja Academy, the school where Nemona was a student.

Nemona managed to locate a shiny Lechonk and promptly began sneaking across the grass towards it to try and catch it off-guard, but just as she was halfway towards it the grasslands were suddenly rocked by a massive explosion. The blast was so powerful that Nemona was dismembered by the force and the pieces of her body were sent flying several metres into the air before raining back down "like candy from a grotesque piñata." She was pronounced dead at the scene.

It has since been determined the explosion was caused by a landmine that was set down during the Paldean Civil War (1936 - 1939) and subsequently forgotten about. Despite the best efforts of bomb removal teams, it is suspected there are still around 800 pieces of unexploded ordinance dotting the Paldea region. Both sides of the Paldean Civil War used these devices against both enemy soldiers and vehicles.

The death has triggered calls throughout Paldea for the remaining devices to be removed.

CREATURE OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL ORIGINS KILLS PALDEA STUDENT

A student of the respected Naranja Academy in Paldea has lost her life after being apparently attacked by a creature of extraterrestrial origins Monday evening.

At around 6:00 pm Nemona Alegria, the victim was travelling along the shores of Caaseroya Lake with fellow student Florian Scarlet when the two of them happened to catch sight of a creature they had never seen before hovering around 1.5 metres off the ground. Florian described it as being the size of a human head, with a translucent green membrane surrounding a red nucleus and claws extending from the lower portion of its body.

Out of curiosity they cautiously approached it, believing it to be a new type of Pokémon, but when they got close the creature screeched and suddenly lunged at Nemona, latching itself onto her head. She screamed and thrashed as Florian attempted to beat it off with the help of his Pokémon, but eventually Nemona's screams fell silent and the girl herself went limp before the creature detached itself and flew off. Florian promptly summoned paramedics who pronounced Nemona dead at the scene.

An investigation is being conducted to determine the creature's origins and how it killed Nemona.

"Let's catch it, Florian! I bet it has all sorts of cool abilitie-"

NARANJA STUDENT BECOMES FIRST PALDEA CASUALTY OF PLAXIAVIRUS PANDEMIC

The Great Hospital of Mesagoza has reported that a teenage patient succumbed to the so-called "novel plaxiavirus" yesterday afternoon, becoming the first Paldean casualty of the outbreak.

The novel plaxiavirus was first identified by researchers in Hoenn in December of last year after a significant outbreak began in Littleroot Town. Despite the best efforts of the Hoennian authorities to contain it the virus soon escaped and spread via air travel to the rest of the world. It is believed that the virus entered Paldea three weeks ago when a trainer who was unknowingly infected arrived on a Corviknight with the intent to challenge the region's gyms.

The virus causes symptoms similar to those of more severe strains of influenza, such as fever, chills, muscle aches, cough, congestion, runny nose, headaches and fatigue. Young people and those with weaker immune systems are especially at risk. The virus is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact, coughs and sneezes or touching a contaminated surface. Currently, the virus only appears to infect humans - no Pokémon cases have been reported.

The patient, Nemona Alegria, had contracted the virus two weeks ago, and her condition had been reportedly "steadily deteriorating" with time. She had been suffering from pneumonia at the time of her death and apparently went into respiratory followed by cardiac arrest at around 12:20 pm and despite the best efforts of medics, she died within minutes.

The Paldean authorities have temporarily put a freeze on gatherings and Pokémon battling in an effort to stop the virus.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"*coughs* Mom... please... tell *cough* Florian... I... I lo... *cough* ve... *weaker cough* h... im..."

(Nemona takes her last breath as the heart monitor attached to her flatlines)

TEEN STUDENT KILLED IN DUMPSTER

Everyone dies at some point, and some deaths are more unique than others. Our Paldea reporters have received word that a student of the region's esteemed Naranja Academy has lost her life in a bizarre accident.

At around 3:15 pm Wednesday afternoon, the president of Naranja's student council, Nemona Alegria, was discovered unresponsive behind a dumpster in a back alley of the Paldean capital Mesagoza, where Naranja's campus is located. When paramedics arrived they examined Nemona before pronouncing the girl deceased. It is believed she had been dead for around two hours by the time she was discovered.

From the evidence detectives have gathered, the most widely believed theory as to what happened is that Nemona apparently climbed behind the dumpster to retrieve a dropped Gimmighoul coin when a passing car clipped the dumpster, pushing it into her and inflicting a series of wounds - including a ruptured spleen - which Nemona bled out from within a matter of minutes.

Further investigation is ongoing and several suspects have been taken in for questioning.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"My coin! I found it! Now come to mama, baby!"

PALDEA GIRL KILLED BY FALLING CHANDELIER

Being killed by a chandelier is something that normally only happens in fiction, but that is precisely what has happened to several rather unlucky students of Paldea's respected Naranja Academy.

On Saturday morning at around 9:45 am Nemona Alegria, the president of Naranja's student council, was attending a party meant to celebrate the arrival of the summer holidays alongside friends when she spotted a Gastly that had drifted into the room. She took out an Ultra Ball and threw it at the Gastly in an attempt to capture it, but the Gastly managed to evade the Ultra Ball - which ended up striking the chandelier installed in the ceiling.

The force of the Ultra Ball was sufficient to dislodge the chandelier, which ended up tearing itself out of the ceiling and plummeting seven metres, crushing everyone underneath it. When paramedics arrived at the scene Nemona and several of her friends were pronounced dead from their injuries. Another male student was seriously wounded and eight other people were lightly wounded.

The owner of the party's venue has since been detained so police can question them, and an investigation is ongoing.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Hey guys! Let me show you all how to catch a Pokémon!"

(She readies an Ultra Ball and throws it but it misses the Gastly and strikes the chandelier, dislodging it)

"AAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

PALDEA TRAINER "PARTIALLY EATEN BY UNKNOWN CREATURE"

Paldea has been shaken after the body of a teenage trainer was discovered "being eaten by an unknown creature" late yesterday morning.

Approximately four days ago Nemona Alegria, a Naranja Academy student, headed off to the city of Alfornada at the request of the Paldea Pokémon League so she could challenge its gym and see if Gym Leader Tulip was still worthy of retaining her position. However, when she failed to arrive at the time she specified Tulip alerted authorities who began a search of the southern half of Paldea.

At around 10:45 am yesterday morning a corpse was discovered in Koraidon Cave, apparently being eaten by an unknown creature. Said creature was described as being spherical in shape and yellow in colour, its only body feature being its mouth. Due to the degree the corpse had been consumed it was impossible to physically identify so genetic testing was ordered, which confirmed the body was Nemona's.

The creature fled the scene before it could be captured and its current whereabouts are unknown. Anyone who has seen it is urged to contact police.

APRIL FOOLS' JOKE KILLS PALDEA TEEN

The respected Naranja Academy in Paldea has announced that all celebrations of April Fools' Day throughout campus are to be phased out after one April Fools' joke went wrong and led to the death of one of the academy's top students.

According to eyewitnesses, just before noon on April 1^st, Nemona Alegria, the student who passed, was strolling towards the front door of the school's main campus when all of a sudden the doors flew open and Nemona was greeted with the sight of "a terrifying animatronic creature" playing a loud screeching sound from hidden speakers and dripping orange drool-like liquid, apparently designed to scare her.

It worked a bit too well - Nemona was so scared she screamed before abruptly collapsing from what was later determined to be a heart attack brought on by the shock and fear. She was rushed to the hospital where medics attempted to resuscitate her but after an hour of failed attempts, Nemona was pronounced dead.

A Naranja student known simply as "Ortega", who constructed the animatronic, has since been arrested for the fatal prank and faces manslaughter charges. He will go to trial in three weeks.

MYSTERIOUS MAN MIND-CONTROLS, KILLS NARANJA STUDENT

A star student of Paldea's Naranja Academy has been killed by an unknown man following an encounter in Hoenn last week.

According to eyewitnesses Nemona Alegria, the student in question had been making her way along Route 113 in the north of the region when she and her travelling companions spotted a mysterious man running towards them. He was described as being around two-thirds Nemona's height, with a reed shirt, blue overalls, brown shoes, a black mustache, blue eyes and a red hat with a white circle on the front, in the middle of which was a red M.

As soon as the man got close enough he threw his hat at Nemona and it landed square on her head, and then he flew through the air and "into Nemona's mind." Nemona was given the same mustache and blue eyes the man donned. At this point, after examining herself she abruptly took off into the nearby forest with her travelling companions in pursuit. It is believed the man somehow possessed Nemona, but authorities were unsure of how he did so at the time.

Eventually, the chase came to a massive ravine that was opened by an earthquake four months ago. As soon as she came up to it Nemona leapt across, despite it being too wide for her to clear with one leap, but at that point, the man ejected himself from Nemona and managed to make it across safely. Nemona was left to plunge three hundred metres into the ravine, a sickening crunch sound signalling her hitting the bottom. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene from her injuries.

The man's whereabouts are currently unknown. Due to his power to possess both people and Pokémon, which is now known to be caused by a ghost living inside his hat, anyone who has sighted him to advised not to approach him and instead urged to call authorities.

STATUS REPORT ON THE RESULTS OF BLACK HOLE EXECUTION EXPERIMENT

(Contents of the report have been translated from the Zaqo language to English with the aid of AI. Apologies in advance for any mistranslations)

The 38th Expeditionary Fleet's Lambda Unit reports that the so-called "black hole experiment" to test whether throwing prisoners into a black hole would be a viable method of execution has been concluded with a positive result.

At approximately time 0730 on the scheduled date of the experiment the fleet arrived at the planet known as "Pokéarth" and a test subject was extracted from the land of "Paldea". This test subject was a bipedal creature that referred to themselves as "Nemona Alegria". They put up initial resistance with the aid of six unknown creatures but these were swiftly disarmed and "Nemona" was taken into custody.

After being transported via wormhole drive to the black hole at galactic coordinates (x2547586, y8294750, z-2949645) "Nemona" was placed in a spacesuit and fitted with sensors to monitor their vital functions before being launched from one of the research ships in the direction of the black hole. They approximately one hour to fall from the ships into the black hole.

"Nemona" crossed the black hole's event horizon at T+59:03:34 after the experiment began and at that point, contact was lost. From our calculations, they would've taken approximately 15 seconds to fall from the horizon to the black hole's central singularity, and further calculations show they would've been torn apart by the hole's immense gravity ~0.5 seconds before they reached said singularity.

The experiment has proven that execution via black hole is viable. More research into the matter is to be undertaken.

NARANJA STUDENT "FROZEN AND KILLED MY MYSTERIOUS MAN"

A student of world-famous Naranja Academy in Mesagoza, Paldea was killed after she was attacked by a mysterious blue-garbed man yesterday morning.

According to an eyewitness report from fellow Naranja student Florian Scarlet who witnessed the encounter just outside the Asado Desert in the western province, Nemona Alegria, the president of Naranja's student council, was attempting to catch a Capsakid when she was approached by a man clad in blue ninja garb. Nemona, who was described as being "very competitive" by Naranja students and staff alike, promptly challenged the man to a Pokémon battle.

However, the man promptly held out his hand and unleashed "a blast of icy magic" that enveloped Nemona and froze the girl solid. He then delivered a powerful uppercut to the frozen girl that caused the ice - and Nemona's entire body - to shatter. As he departed the scene Florian summoned police who pronounced Nemona dead at the scene.

A search of the Paldea region has failed to turn up any sign of the man with icy powers. If anyone sights him they are advised not to approach him and instead urged to contact police.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Hey Mr. Ninja Man! I challenge you to a battle!"

(Florian speculated afterward that perhaps she would have survived if she had specified what kind of battle. It just seemed kind of obvious at the time.)

FEMALE PALDEA TRAINER PASSES FOLLOWING TWO-YEAR BATTLE

The family of Nemona Algeria, a star student of Paldea's Naranja Academy, have confirmed that the girl passed away at 2:30 pm yesterday, with her entire family and her close personal friends by her side. She was 19 at the time of her death.

For two years Nemona had been battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a motor neuron disease that affects the nerve cells (neurons) that control muscles. The disease causes these neurons to gradually die, which continues until the ability to eat, speak, move and finally breathe are lost. The disease has no known cure and the average survival time from the onset of symptoms is between two and four years.

Nemona was diagnosed with the disease two years ago, and she subsequently began hosting a vlog online with the help of Levincia's gym leader Iono, detailing her daily life with the disease as she gradually deteriorated. The girl slipped into a coma two weeks ago, and at 2:20 pm yesterday she abruptly went into respiratory followed by cardiac arrest. She was pronounced dead ten minutes later.

The Alegria family thanks everyone for their condolences and asks for privacy in this difficult time for them.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

(Recorded on the final video of her vlog)

"So yeah. I know I'm not gonna last much longer, but you guys make it worth it. I don't know if I'll even get the chance to make another video, but if I don't... I just want to let you guys know I love you guys. And... thank you. Thank you so much. You guys are amazing, And there's no way I could have made it without you. I love you. All of you."

MISSING PALDEA STUDENT DECLARED DEAD

Nemona Alegria, a student of Paldea's esteemed Naranja Academy who has been missing for two years now, was declared dead in absentia by a Paldean court yesterday.

According to eyewitness reports from the time Nemona disappeared, she was last seen on November 18, 2022, visiting a thrift shop in Artazon and purchasing a small box. Said box was described as being green and gold in colour with frog-themed imagery on it and three gems embedded in the top.

After exiting the shop Nemona opened the box to check what was inside - and then the box suddenly let out a blinding light. When it cleared, both Nemona and the box were inexplicably gone.

A search operation was conducted of the entire Paldea region over the next eight months, but the search turned up no sign of Nemona and was ended on July 18, 2023. Paldean law states that a missing person can be declared dead if after two years there is no evidence they are alive.

(In case you're wondering viewers, after being warped by the Calamity Box Nemona ended up in Amphibia. Unfortunately, she wound up appearing right next to a hungry heron and was killed and eaten in a matter of seconds.)

PALDEA TRAINER KILLED IN SNOWBOARDING ACCIDENT

The Glasadeo Mountain Resort in northern Paldea has reported that a female Pokémon trainer passed away at the resort yesterday afternoon as a result of injuries sustained from an on-site accident.

According to what is known, at around 11:00 am yesterday morning Nemona Alegria, the trainer in question, was at the resort as part of her winter break. Having just finished a friendly Pokémon battle with Grusha, the gym leader of Glasadeo Mountain, when she decided to go snowboarding on one of the beginner courses. After taking some lessons, Nemona set off down the mountain, but on the way down she ended up losing control for currently unknown reasons and slammed full speed into a tree.

Paramedics rushed to Nemona's aid and she was airlifted to a nearby hospital, but at 2:00 pm she succumbed to her injuries. Said injuries were described as "extensive" but no further information has been revealed.

Glasadeo Mountain Resort has witnessed many accidents during its existence, both fatal and non-fatal. Indeed, Gym Leader Grusha was formerly a prime snowboarder who trained at the resort, but he was forced into early retirement following a serious accident at the Paldea championships three years ago.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Whoa! AH! Okay, I got it! I got it-Ah, AH! I HAVEN'T GOT IT!!!"

MYSTERIOUS HEDGEHOG-LIKE CREATURE KILLS PALDEA GIRL

The UNN's Paldea office has begun receiving unusual reports that an encounter has taken place between a teenage girl and a "mysterious hedgehog-like creature" - an encounter which has proven fatal for the former.

The incident took place at around 8:30 am yesterday morning. According to eyewitness reports, a trainer by the name of Nemona Alegria happened to stumble upon a creature she had never seen before. It was described as being humanoid in appearance, with blue fur covering most of its body, spines running down its back and its feet covered in a pair of red sneakers with white stripes.

Nemona, assuming the creature was a new type of Pokémon, threw an Ultra Ball at it in an attempt to catch it, but the creature managed to break free after several seconds. Then it abruptly ran towards Nemona and launched itself with "an inexplicably fast speed" at her - so fast that upon impact Nemona was sent flying backwards into a nearby tree and "reduced to a red smear". She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The creature managed to escape before it could be captured. Not much is known about it but it has displayed speed previously thought impossible for even the fastest Pokémon - calculations based on the available data have shown it can perform a loop of the entire Paldea region in just ten seconds.

Anyone who has sighted it is advised not to approach it and to instead contact police.

PALDEA YOUTH CHOKES ON PRETZEL, DIES

Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction. That saying is just as true with regard to death as it is everywhere else. The UNN has begun receiving word from Paldean authorities that a female youth has died after she choked on, of all things, a pretzel.

According to the coroner's office, Nemona Alegria, 17, was at home watching a soccer match on television, eating some pretzels, whilst her mother left to run some errands. When Nemona's mother returned home one hour later she found Nemona sprawled on the floor unresponsive. As she attempted to resuscitate her daughter she summoned paramedics who rushed Nemona to a nearby hospital but attempts to revive her bore no fruit and she was pronounced dead one hour later. It was determined she had choked on a pretzel that somehow became lodged in her windpipe.

Nemona's mother was quoted as saying "I just can't believe I raised my daughter for her to be killed by a pretzel". The company that manufactured the pretzels has sent their condolences, as has Naranja Academy, the school where Nemona studied. An investigation into the death is underway.

NARANJA STUDENT MURDERED BY “ENERGY SWORD-WIELDING MANIAC”

A student of Naranja Academy in Paldea was murdered yesterday by a “maniac wielding an energy sword”, it has been revealed.

At around 1:25 pm Saturday afternoon Nemona Alegria, the president of Naranja’s student council, was approached by a man apparently dressed in a white uniform. She offered him a Pokémon battle, but his response was to produce a small silver device from behind his back and press a button on the white to extend a long blue blade.

Then the man leapt through the air and brought the blade down on Nemona, and the blade managed to cut the girl clean in half vertically, killing her instantly. He was arrested by police ten minutes later and identified as Quaver Bixington, a diagnosed psychopath who had recently escaped from Levincia Mental Hospital.

The weapon was seized and is being examined by researchers. It appears to be powered by an internal crystal and its energy blade is capable of cutting through practically anything. Quaver called it a “lightsaber”, but refused to state where he got it from.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Whoa! What is that? Is that some kind of laser sword? That is so coo-"

PALDEA TEENAGER FATALLY POISONED BY FUMES FROM ROTTING POTATOES

A 16-year-old student of Paldea's Naranja Academy was fatally poisoned by rotting potatoes in the cellar of her Cabo Poco home over the weekend, authorities say.

According to the coroner's office, at 7:00 pm Sunday evening Rosa Alegria sent her teenage daughter Nemona downstairs into the cellar of the family home to fetch several potatoes for dinner. However when Nemona failed to return within fifteen minutes her worried mother went to check on her and found Nemona sprawled on the cellar floor unconscious. Her mother hastily summoned paramedics and Nemona was rushed to the hospital, but after 45 minutes of failed resuscitation attempts, Nemona was pronounced dead.

It is currently suspected the potatoes poisoned Nemona. Potatoes naturally contain a family of toxic molecules known as glycoalkaloids - as do all plants in the deadly nightshade family. Normally the glycoalkaloids are not concentrated sufficiently to cause harm - but certain circumstances, such as the potatoes being rotten and exposure to light - can cause the glycoalkaloids to concentrate and eventually convert to gas form.

It is believed that in Nemona's case, the potatoes had rotted sufficiently for the glycoalkaloids to cover the cellar in a massive poisonous cloud - and when Nemona entered the cellar the lack of oxygen overcame her and she fainted and asphyxiated within minutes.

Police are investigating the case further.

PALDEA YOUTH ATTACKED, KILLED BY “CHICKEN-LIKE CREATURES”

A young trainer from Paldea has been killed after she was attacked by a flock of “chicken-like creatures”, according to local reports.

At around 3:20 pm yesterday Nemona Algeria, a student of Naranja Academy and the trainer involved in the incident, was in the mesa of the western province as part of her “treasure hunt”, an event held annually by the Naranja staff where students search the region in search of their “personal treasure”.

Nemona apparently encountered a flock of white chicken-like creatures whilst out on her treasure hunt. Believing them to be a new species of Pokémon she used a Poké Ball in a bid to capture one, but it quickly managed to escape and it began loudly squeaking, alerting the rest of the flock, who promptly charged at Nemona. Before the trainer could react the flock knocked her down and began viciously attacking her.

At 3:27 the carnage was discovered by a fellow Naranja student, who used their team to beat away the creatures before summoning an ambulance. Nemona was rushed to the hospital, but one hour later she succumbed to her injuries.

It has since been determined the chicken-like creatures that killed Nemona are not native to this planet. Investigations are being conducted as to their origins. In the meantime Paldean authorities have issued warnings not to approach the flock unless your team is over level 75 on average.

HYDREIGON ATTACKS, KILLS FEMALE TRAINER

The Definitive Pokédex states that the Dark/Dragon Pokémon Hydreigon is violent and destructive, attacking anything that moves. It's said this is the result of abuse the species received from humans in the past - and this violent nature has been demonstrated first-hand to the people of Paldea after a female trainer was savagely and fatally attacked by one Monday afternoon.

At 3:45 pm Nemona Alegria, the trainer in question, was out in the southern province near the mountains surrounding the Great Crater when she happened to come across a Hydreigon. In Palea Hydreigon are normally only found in Tera dens, and it is unknown how this specific one managed to escape.

She attacked the Hydreigon with her team in a bid to weaken it so she could capture it, but it wasn't long before the aggressive Pokémon elected to attack Nemona directly, seizing her in one of its mouths and thrashing and throwing her around like a ragdoll.

Several minutes later a group of Poké Rangers, alerted by Nemona's screams of pain, arrived at the scene and manage to beat the Hydreigon off before rushing Nemona to the hospital. However an hour after the attack she succumbed to her injuries.

The Hydreigon has since been destroyed.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Don't worry, guys! I know that Hydreigon is tough, but you guys are tougher! So let's finish hi-"

UNKNOWN CREATURE BURSTS OUT OF GIRL'S CHEST, KILLS HER

The region of Paldea has been shaken by trauma after a student of Naranja Academy lost her life in a rather brutal and gory fashion.

According to eyewitness reports the victim, one Nemona Alegria, 16, was hosting a meeting of the school's student council (she was the council's president) at 11:15 am when around halfway through the meeting she abruptly began complaining of chest pain. That only lasted for seconds before Nemona's chest suddenly exploded in an incredibly gory fashion, killing the girl on the spot.

As she slumped to the floor lifeless amid the pandemonium that erupted, several council members were able to see a worm-like creature emerging from Nemona's chest. They weren't able to get a good look before it escaped, however. It was described a being black or brown in colour and with a small mouth on its head end.

A search of the school ground is being conducted to capture the creature and determine its origins.

ACCIDENT AT GENDER REVEAL PARTY KILLS TEENAGE GIRL

Many expectant mothers like to hold a gender reveal party where the gender of their baby is announced to friends and family. These celebrations have been getting increasingly extravagant over the years, but this is now in question after an accident at one such party in Paldea resulted in the death of a teenage girl.

According to the police, at 2:45 pm Thursday afternoon Iono Ibix, the expecting gym leader of Levincia, was hosting a small gender reveal party on her livestream Iono Zone where she planned to use explosives to reveal the gender of her baby in spectacular fashion. In front of everyone in attendance, Iono poured gunpowder into a device she had constructed for the purpose of the party, consisting of a homemade stand welded to a metal base plate.

Unfortunately when Iono ignited the gunpowder the metal of the device failed to contain the explosion's pressure and the device acted as a pipe bomb instead, detonating with tremendous force and sending metal fragments in all directions. One of the fragments happened to strike 17-year-old Nemona Alegria in the head, knocking her to the ground. Iono hastily summoned paramedics but when they arrived they were forced to pronounce Nemona dead at the scene.

The incident remains under investigation.

Oh man! I can't wait to find out the kid's gender! I'll bet it's gonna be a-"

PORTAL GUN TESTING GOES WRONG, KILLS FEMALE YOUTH

The Aperture Science corporation has found itself in hot water after a testing session of one of its devices in Paldea went wrong and killed a teenage student.

The incident took place at 10:00 am yesterday morning. At the time a number of Naranja Academy students were taking part in a testing session of the "Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device", an arm-fitted device that allows the user to create portals in space-time. Four students were taking part: 13-year-old Juliana Violet, 17-year-old Arven Pepper, 16-year-old Penny Botan and the victim, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria.

According to eyewitnesses, the incident took place at the end of Juliana's turn with the device. She had used it to open a portal connecting a nearby wall to the wall of the Caba Poco lighthouse. Out of curiosity, Nemona poked her head through the portal to see the view from the wall of the lighthouse. Unfortunately, as part of the testing procedure Juliana pressed a button on the device to close the portals so she could hand the device to Arven - with the result that the portal Nemona was leaning through closed around her neck, decapitating her.

Police were summoned and Nemona was pronounced dead at the scene. An investigation is being conducted into the accident.

TAUROS STAMPEDE FATALLY CRUSHES NARANJA STUDENT

The Paldean office of the United News Network has begun receiving word from its reporters that a student of Mesagoza's esteemed Naranja Academy has been fatally trampled by a herd of Tauros.

Naranja student Florian Scarlet witnessed the death. According to him, at 12:45 pm he was out in the grasslands of the southern province looking for a Pikachu when he happened to see fellow student Nemona Alegria nearby. But soon after he saw a massive herd of Paldean Tauros (more specifically the Combat Breed, known for their aggressive tendencies) thundering across the grasslands towards them.

Florian attempted to get Nemona's attention to warn her of the incoming herd, but due to the fact she was listening to music through noise-cancelling headphones she was unable to hear him, with the result that when the herd reached her Nemona was knocked down and brutally trampled for a good ten seconds.

When the Tauros cleared Florian summoned paramedics who loaded Nemona into an ambulance, but the girl succumbed to her injuries en route to the hospital.

An investigation is being conducted into the incident and to determine what the Tauros were running from.

PALDEA GIRL KILLED IN ACCIDENT AT ICE SKATING RINK

Tragic news has emerged from an ice skating rink on Glasadeo Mountain in Paldea  - a female skater was killed in an accident at the rink Tuesday evening.

At around 6:00 pm Nemona Alegria, a 17-year-old student of Naranja Academy, was visiting the rink as part of her "treasure hunt", which is an annual activity undertaken by all Naranja students. Around ten minutes later she was gracefully gliding along the ice, apparently in an attempt to impress fellow Naranja student Juliana Violet, who had found her own way to the rink under separate circumstances to Nemona's.

And then disaster struck. Nemona, for whatever reason, slipped up and fell onto the ice, and another skater nearby lost control and ended up skating into Nemona in such a way that one of their skating blades slashed open Nemona's neck, severing one of her carotid arteries and slashing one of her jugular veins. Medics were hastily summoned, but Nemona bled out within minutes.

The rink has been closed for three weeks whilst an investigation is being conducted, and the rink's owner has sent his condolences to Nemona's family.

PALDEA GIRL SMITED BY THE LORD

The region of Paldea has been left shaken. Apparently, a visit by the LORD himself (peace be upon him) has ended with Him smiting a teenage trainer who made the foolish decision to attempt capturing Him.

According to eyewitnesses, the LORD, apparently wanting to take a break from the stresses of keeping the other Legendaries in line, was apparently visiting the eastern province of Paldea when Nemona Alegria, a teenage student of Naranja Academy, happened to stumble upon Him. Growing excited at the prospect of capturing Him, Nemona took out a Master Ball and threw it at the LORD, and He was captured... for all of five seconds before he broke out.

Turning to the female trainer, the LORD firmly stated she had made the worst possible mistake one could make, and to "prepare to be utterly erased from all of existence". Just to add teeth to his terrifying words the LORD changed the weather to a fierce thunderstorm and started a low-level earthquake in the area, all while a deafening rumble sounded.

Now realising her mistake, Nemona attempted to talk the LORD down, but she wasn't even able to finish a sentence before the LORD called down an ultra-powerful Judgement attack on her, killing her instantly. When the attack cleared there was nothing left of Nemona - no charred remains, no backpack, nothing.

Nemona's family stated after the matter: "At least our daughter was smited by the LORD himself. Not many people get that honour."

PALDEA TRAINER KILLED BY PARASITIC BEEDRIL

If you've been following the news (hopefully us at the UNN) recently, you'll probably know that a new subspecies of Beedril has developed, known for their disturbing reproduction methods - which involve parasitising another Pokémon for their offspring to use as food. Said reproduction method has taken an even more horrifying turn - our Kanto reporters have received word of the first confirmed case of one of these Beedrils successfully parasitising a human.

The details are not yet clear, but what is known - at least according to local police - is that at 3:00 pm Tuesday afternoon a newly-opened cave was discovered in Viridan Forest, and upon venturing in a young male trainer (who is being kept anonymous at his request) discovered the body of 17-year-old Nemona Algeria, a Paldean tourist who went missing three weeks ago.

The body had the empty outer shell of a Kakuna inside, and most of its internal organs were either missing or partially consumed. Based on the available evidence, scientists believe this is what happened:

Around the time of Nemona's disappearance she ventured into the Viridian Forest wanting to catch a Beedril. Although she was successful in finding one this Beedril turned out to be of the parasitoid variety, and in the ensuing struggle the Beedril managed to defeat Nemona's team before latching onto Nemona herself and piercing her spinal cord with its stinger, injecting venom to paralyse her.

The Beedril then delivered a second sting to Nemona's brain, putting the girl into an almost zombie-like state, before leading her to a burrow it had prepared. Laying an egg on Nemona's body, the Beedril sealed the burrow before departing. Several days later the egg hatched into a Weedle, which proceeded to burrow into Nemona's body, feed on her internal organs, evolve into a Kakuna in her body, and eventually emerge as an adult Beedril... leaving Nemona's corpse behind.

If reports are to be believed mass panic has broken out in Kanto and anti-Beedril hysteria has swept the region. The Global Pokémon League Federation has put out a broadcast advising trainers to avoid battling wild Beedril at all costs until a solution can be found.

NARANJA STUDENT MURDERED ON SCHOOL TRIP

It has been a tradition for the esteemed Naranja Academy in Paldea, alongside their sister school Blueberry Academy, to send a body of students to the region of Kiatkami as a school trip. However this year's trip will be remembered for all the wrong reasons - namely being marred by a top student of Naranja being murdered on the trip.

The victim, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, had not initially been picked for the trip but was allowed to come following some pleading from her friend, 13-year-old Florian Scarlet. The trip was scheduled to take place over two weeks, during which the students would learn about the folktales surrounding the Legendary Pokémon of Kitakami.

Meanwhile the perpetrator, 13-year-old Kieran Greenblue, was a Kitakami native and a student of Blueberry Academy. It is said that shortly after the two student groups met each other Kieran developed something of a curiosity towards Florian. Shortly afterwards he began displaying increasingly erratic behaviours, such as occasionally mumbling Florian's name and waking up at odd hours.

About one week after the trip began Kieran happened to witness Nemona and Florian kissing on the outskirts of Kitakami's capital Mossi Town, according to Kieran's older sister Carmine. It seems that seeing that flipped a switch within him, and the next day Kieran met up with Nemona at the nearby Loyalty Plaza and challenged her to a Pokémon battle, which Nemona accepted.

The battle ended in victory for Nemona, and afterwards Keiran approached her and offered his hand for a handshake. The two shook hands... and then Keiran abruptly pulled out a large kitchen knife (which he had stolen from their house's kitchen) and plunged the knife into Nemona's chest. He was able to stab Nemona five times before he was tackled by nearby bystanders.

Nemona was rushed to a nearby hospital but ended up succumbing to her injuries thirty minutes after the attack. Kieran has since been arrested and charged with one count of first-degree murder. He is set to be sentenced in one week's time.

LEGENDARY TRIO ATTACK, KILL PALDEA TRAINER

In times gone by the folktales of the land of Kitakami told tales of three legendary Pokémon who defended Mossi Town from an evil ogre. However recent events have indicated that the so-called "Loyal Three" were actually the villains of the story and the ogre, a Pokémon named "Ogerpon", was the victim. And now the Loyal Three's status as villains have been firmly cemented after they attacked and killed a student of Paldea's world-renowned Naranja Academy on Thursday morning.

According to the chain of events that is known, the Loyal Three had recently been defeated by Naranja student Juliana Violet and Blueberry Academy student Carmine Bluegreen (who were in the area as part of an annual school trip) and forced to relinquish three of Ogerpon's four masks. Sometime after this they encountered another Naranja student, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, talking with the two. After they left the Loyal Three, apparently still bitter with rage over their defeat, suddenly charged at Nemona and before she could send her team out they knocked her down and inflicted a brutal beating on her.

Juliana and Carmen, with Ogerpon's help, were able to drive them away and summoned paramedics, but Nemona died of her injuries en route to the hospital. Juliana has since told reporters she vows to capture the Loyal Three to prevent any further attacks.

PALDEA GIRL DROWNS IN HUMAN WASTE

17-year-old Nemona Alegria was one of the best students at the world-praised Naranja Academy in Mesagoza, Paldea. Staff and students alike described her as a talented, enthusiastic young girl who would go far in life. Unfortunately, those talents are now a moot point - Nemona has lost her life following an accident at an Artazon house Wednesday evening.

According to the coroner's office, at around 5:30 pm Nemona, who was doing volunteer work for a septic company, arrived at said Artazon house to perform maintenance on an underground septic tank. From what police have theorised happened, Nemona had to get onto her hands and knees and reach into the tank because the lid and fallen in.

And then, for reasons police are still investigating, Nemona somehow lost her balance and fell into the tank. Her shoulders got wedged in the opening which left her submerged, upside-down, in human waste. She was discovered by the homeowner an hour after she arrived, and although the homeowner called paramedics they were forced to pronounce Nemona dead at the scene from drowning.

A sense of melancholy has settled over Naranja in the wake of the death, it has been reported.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"So it seems this tank mostly checks out..."

(Nemona slips and falls in)

"OH SHI-"

(Once she falls in she gargles for a few minutes before she passes out from lack of oxygen)

PALDEA YOUTH KILLED BY EXTRATERRESTRIAL CREATURE

Our Paldea office has received a report that a creature of extraterrestrial origins has killed a teenage student of Naranja Academy.

The late student in question, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, made the encounter in the western province three days ago just outside the Great Crater. She was with 13-year-old Florian Scarlet, who described the events to the UNN's reporters. According to him, at around 11:15 a.m. whilst investigating reports of a new kind of Pokémon they came across a creature neither of them had ever seen before. It was described as standing three feet tall, with a red body, two feet, a visor on its front, a large mouth with sharp teeth and what seems to be a backpack on its back.

Excited about the prospects of catching a new Pokémon Nemona took out a Poké Ball and threw it at the creature, but the creature managed to escape after a struggle. Then it abruptly opened its mouth and its tongue shot out, and before Nemona could react the tongue pierced her body clean through the chest, only narrowly missing Florian.

The creature withdrew its tongue and made its escape whilst Florian summoned paramedics. Unfortunately said paramedics were forced to pronounce Nemona dead at the scene from the injury. It was determined the creature's aim was good enough to cause lethal damage to Nemona's heart.

A few more sightings of the creature have since been made, and it is also now known the creature possesses a large kitchen knife and a handgun. Anyone who sights it is advised not to approach it and instead to alert authorities.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"So Pokeballs don't work on it? That's kind of sus-"

PALDEA WOMAN MURDERED IN LOVE TRIANGLE

It has been reported by our Paldean journalists that a young woman has been murdered in what local police are calling "a love triangle gone horribly awry".

According to the coroner's office, the involved parties were 23-year-old Florian Scarlet, 23-year-old Juliana Violet and 27-year-old Nemona Alegria. Although Florian and Juliana were married and had been so for two years, Florian was engaged in an affair with Nemona on the side. It is only recently that Juliana learned of said affair, and she was not happy.

From the sequence of events police have put together, at 2:00 pm Juliana arrived at Nemona's residence to confront her, and a verbal altercation broke out between them - which turned deadly when Juliana pulled out a handgun (wich she allegedly stole, along with the ammunition, from a gun show in Mesagoza) and shot Nemona five times. Juliana fled the scene as police and paramedics were summoned by neighbours, and when they arrived Nemona was pronounced dead.

Juliana was located and arrested fifteen minutes later, and she has been charged with one count of murder. The case is set to go to court next month.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Fuck you, Juliana! Florian and I were always meant for each other! He never loved you, you ugly, stuck-up bi-"

NARANJA STUDENT KILLED BY SYLVEON

Paldean police have confirmed that a young student of Naranja Academy has been killed by a Sylveon.

Police reports state the Fairy-type Pokémon in question was a team member of Penny Botan, a top member of Naranja's STEM track. She had left the Sylveon under the temporary care of the victim, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, before temporarily leaving the school grounds to run an errand for the school director Clavell Amigo.

However, according to a third student (who is being kept anonymous at their request), they were passing by Nemona's dorm room when they heard struggling from within, and they opened the door to find the Sylveon using its feelers to strangle Nemona. They hastily used its ball to recall it before summoning paramedics, but Nemona was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.

It has since been determined that the Sylveon was suffering from Abrupt Aggression Syndrome (AAS), a prion disease that causes infected Pokémon to enter a state of animalistic aggression and attack nearly anything in sight. The Sylveon has since been destroyed.

Clavell is reportedly heartbroken by the loss, according to his staff, and a week-long period of mourning has been declared across Naranja.

Penny did not respond to the UNN's request for comment.

"BLOODMOON BEAST" ATTACKS AND KILLS YOUNG TRAINER

In the Timeless Woods of Kitakami, there lives a unique Ursaluna, known as the "Bloodmoon Beast". It's said this Ursaluna made his way to Kitakami from Sinnoh by unknown means many hundreds of years ago, and he possesses unique abilities compared to other Ursalunas. He's often been the subject of many songs and poems, and he has been romanticised by the residents of Kitakami. However, reports have just come out that this romanticism has come to a screeching halt after the Bloodmoon Beast attacked a party of trainers attempting to photograph him, killing one.

The incident took place at around midnight last Friday. Three trainers, 21-year-old Perrin Kodak, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria and 13-year-old Florian Scarlet were visiting the Timeless Woods in a search for the Bloodmoon Beast so they could photograph it. After some searching they did encounter it, but apparently agitated by the camera flashes the Bloodmoon Beast roared before pouncing on Nemona and Perrin and beginning to maul them.

Florian was able to beat it away before summoning paramedics who rushed both Nemona and Perrin to the hospital, but Nemona died en route. Perrin has gone through emergency surgery and her condition remains critical but stable.

The Kitakami authorities did not respond to the UNN's request for comment.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Oh my Arceus, it's the Bloodmoon Beast! We found it! Hey, when you're done taking pictures, can I battle i-"

(The Bloodmoon Beast pounces on her and begins mauling her)

TIME MACHINE MALFUNCTION KILLS PALDEA TEEN

The Pokémon Professor of Paldea, Sada Chronos-Pepper, has been arrested. Said arrest comes after a malfunction of a time machine she created got an unfortunate teenager killed in what police are calling "the worst possible death they could imagine".

According to Sada's diary and other recovered evidence, police believe that the victim, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, "volunteered" (it is believed Sada offered her sexual favours in exchange) to take part in testing the device. After she got into the machine and Sada made sure everything was calibrated correctly, she pressed the activation button and the machine kicked into gear, sending Nemona through space and time to Paldea's past so she could gather information on the Pokémon of the past.

Unfortunately Sada, for whatever reason, failed the check the machine's power levels - with the result that the machine lost power during the travel through time, getting it caught in a time anomaly that resulted in Nemona "being ripped apart on a sub-atomic level". Sada has noted that whilst an outside observer would have seen this process happen in nanoseconds, from Nemona's perspective it would have taken centuries, with the girl in utter, agonising pain "until the last second".

Sada has since been charged with one count of negligent homicide. The case is set to go to trial in two months' time.

FLOCK OF MYSTERIOUS BIRDS KILL TOP NARANJA STUDENT

In the past few weeks, reports have been coming in reporting sightings of a flock of mysterious birds at various locations throughout Paldea. The birds do not seem to correspond to any known Pokémon and their presence has caused excitement throughout the region. However said excitement has completely evaporated after the birds attacked and killed a top student of Naranja Academy.

According to what footage of the event is available, the student in question, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, was exploring the eastern province in search of the birds Sunday morning when she stumbled across them. Excited she readied a Poké Ball and threw it at one, only for it to bounce off. This got the birds' attention, and it has been revealed that they somehow can speak human language, as they scolded Nemona.

But then the birds promptly stated that three eggs from their nest had gone missing - and accused Nemona of being the thief. She defended her innocence and verbal altercation broke out between both parties, which escalated when the birds charged at Nemona and began attacking her.

They eventually left, and a badly-beaten Nemona was discovered at 2:00 pm. Paramedics were summoned, but she passed away from her injuries at the hospital.

A subsequent search of Paldea has failed to find any trace of the birds.

PALDEA GIRL COMMITS SUICIDE AS PART OF FAILED RESURRECTION ATTEMPT

Out Paldean reporters have gotten wind of a strange death. Apparently a teenage girl committed suicide and attempted to have a Pokémon resurrect her - which didn't work.

The incident took place at noon on Wednesday. Nemona Alegria, 17, was apparently drunk at the time, having intoxicated herself on a strong red wine. She then set up a live stream on Headbook on which she drunkenly rambled that she would cheat death. She then let out a Pawmot from its Poké Ball and ordered it to use Revival Blessing on her in ten seconds. Before those ten seconds were up she drew a handgun, put it into her mouth and pulled the trigger, blowing her brains out and killing her.

Once the ten seconds were up the Pawmot cast a Revival Blessing on Nemona's corpse... only for nothing to happen. It made several more attempts, all of them failing. After several minutes police and paramedics arrived at Nemona's residence, where she was pronounced dead.

For future reference the UNN advises that Revival Blessing can only wake up a fainted Pokémon and that the move cannot reverse death, whether on a Pokémon or a human. Police are continuing to investigate the case.

TEENAGE GIRL MURDERED OVER BOARD GAME

Ah, board games. Many of us enjoy playing them for the simple fact they foster a sense of camaraderie and healthy competition. However, we have gotten word from Paldea that such a game gone awry has not only ruined this fun atmosphere - it has ended up getting a teenage student killed.

Nemona Alegria, 17, was playing a round of Monopoly with Xavier Gustuma, 19, at around 11 pm last Saturday. After Nemona managed to build a hotel on the coveted Boardwalk property it wasn't long before Xavier landed on the property - which would have cost him $2000. However instead of paying he apparently became so enraged he tackled Nemona down before strangling her to death. He then buried Nemona's body in his backyard.

Her body was discovered three days later by a police Dachsbun, and Xavier has since been arrested and charged with one count of second-degree murder. He is set to face court next month.

POKÉMON OF AISLADO ISLAND KILL VISITING TRAINER

On Aislado Island, there live a tribe of Pokémon who are known for their extreme hostility towards outsiders. These Pokémon have been willing to go to any lengths to keep outsiders out, and have been known to kill any who dare set foot on the island. We have just recently learned that a Pokémon trainer from Paldea made the foolish mistake of sailing to the island to catch some of these Pokémon - and has paid the ultimate price for it.

The trainer, Nemona Alegria, 17, was a top student of Naranja Academy who had been talking about going to Aislado Island since the beginning of the year - despite the warnings of fellow students and Naranja staff who brought previous incidents with the island's inhabitants, she remained steadfast in that goal. At around 10 am on Sunday Nemona headed down to the coastal town of Cabo Poco and paid a boater ₱30,000 to take her to the island.

Once they got within 500 metres, Nemona hopped on a Finizen she had caught for the purpose of the journey and rode on it to the island. It would be the last time anyone ever saw her alive. Several hours later a fisherman was fishing in the area when he saw some of Aislado's native Pokémon dragging Nemona's body across one of the island's beaches, where they buried it. She was declared dead by Paldean authorities at 2 pm.

Due to the hostility of the Aislado Pokémon towards outsiders, and the risk of potentially exposing them to diseases they have no immunity to, it has been decided no attempt will be made to recover Nemona's body.

LESBIAN SEX ENDS WITH HAPPY ENDING... THE OTHER KIND

A bizarre and tragic death has emerged from Naranja Academy in Paldea. Apparently 17-year-old student Nemona Alegria was paid a visit by the Grim Reaper in the middle of sex with a fellow student.

The incident took place Saturday morning. Apparently Nemona and a fellow student, 16-year-old Penny Botan, had some spare time on their hands and decided to spend it getting their game on. At some point they decided to try some BDSM, with Nemona being totally restrained whilst Penny rode on her face and Nemona gave her cunnilingus.

Unfortunately for reasons that are still unclear Penny got so into the act she accidentally covered Nemona's face with her lower body, suffocating the girl. Only when she reached orgasm did she realise her mistake - by which point Nemona had been unconscious for around fifteen minutes. She hastily called for paramedics who rushed Nemona to the hospital, but the doctors were unable to wake Nemona up and lots was subsequently determined the lack of oxygen had caused fatal damage to Nemona's brain. She was declared dead at 1:30 pm.

Penny has since been arrested and faces one charge of involuntary manslaughter. She is currently awaiting trial.

The Naranja Academy leadership did not respond to the UNN's request for comment.

MAJOR SHOOTING AT MESAGOZA AIRPORT KILLS 18

We have just received word from our Paldean reporters that a significant mass shooting has struck Mesagoza Interregional Airport in Paldea. 18 people have been confirmed dead and an additional 20 wounded.

From what information police have gathered, the perpetrator entered the airport at 2:00 pm yesterday and made his way to the ticket booth for Hitmonair. He then pulled out a small handgun and shot the ticket vendor, killing them, before opening fire on a group of Naranja Academy students who had gathered to fly on a school trip to Kitakami. One of the most notable casualties of the shooting was 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, the president of Naranja's student council.

Airport security responded swiftly, arriving at the scene within twenty seconds and apprehending the shooter. He has since been identified as 34-year-old Daniel Caverton, a known felon with a substantial arrest record. He is currently in police custody pending an investigation.

SKYDIVING ACCIDENT CLAIMS LIFE OF PALDEA TEEN

A Paldean girl has died of her injuries after a skydiving jump went horribly wrong, according to local newspapers.

The incident took place at 11:00 a.m. Monday morning. Nemona Alegria, 17, had visited the Paldea Jumpers resort in that region's west so she could check skydiving off her bucket list. The skydiving plane took off thirty minutes later and Nemona jumped from a height of just over 1.5 kilometres strapped to one of the resort's instructors. The fall itself went smoothly, but disaster struck when the instructor's parachute failed to open correctly.

The two struck a hard landing, with Nemona unfortunate enough to be under her instructor. Although Nemona's body cushioned the instructor so his condition wasn't too bad, Nemona suffered critical injuries and despite the best efforts of paramedics, she died at the scene.

A heartfelt tribute to her was shared by Clavell Amigo, the director of the world-famous Naranja Academy where Nemona studied, describing her as "one of their brightest students who was taken far, far too soon."

An investigation into the accident is being conducted by police.

MOVIE SET ACCIDENT CLAIMS LIFE OF TEENAGE ACTOR

There are rumours swirling through the world of cinema that the upcoming movie The Great Paldea Chase, based on the television series of the same name, is to be cancelled after a major accident on set claimed the life of the girl who was serving as the lead actor.

According to the film's director and other eyewitnesses the accident took place during the shooting of a scene where a character ducks through a tunnel into the Great Crater while running from several pursuers. The character was being played by Nemona Alegria, 17, and the shot was being filmed by a helicopter hovering just above the scene. The scene was on its sixth take at the time.

Apparently, what happened is that due to pilot error the helicopter's blades struck the stony rim of the crater, breaking off in the process, and the damaged helicopter plunged from the sky, crushing Nemona underneath. When paramedics arrived at the set they were able to extract the pilot, who suffered critical injuries, but they were forced to pronounce Nemona dead.

The film's director has since been arrested and faces manslaughter charges. The film's future is uncertain as many of the other actors have hinted they will resign from the project, which has already consumed a $15 million budget.

STAR NARANJA STUDENT KILLED BY WILD COPPERAJAH

An attempt by a student of Paldea's Naranja Academy to catch a wild Copperajah has gone sideways, and ended with the student's death, it has been reported.

The trouble began when Nemona Alegria, 17, announced that she was heading to the northern province of Paldea to catch a Copperajah for her Pokédex at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday morning. She picked this time because it was Naranja Academy's anniversary, meaning as part of the celebration there were no classes for the day. She spotted a Copperajah and promptly engaged it in battle so she could capture it.

The battle was captured by Nemona's Rotom phone. Around ten minutes or so after the battle began the Copperajah, forced onto the ropes, picked up a nearby stone and threw it at Nemona's Pawmot, but it missed and ended up inadvertently striking Nemona square in the head instead, knocking her out. As Nemona fell her head collided with an exposed rock, inflicting a serious skull fracture, and it is believed she bled out within an hour.

When Nemona failed to return from her trip she was reported missing and a search was launched of the northern province by police. Nemona's body was discovered at around 5:00 p.m., and paramedics were forced to pronounce her dead at the scene.

An investigation into the incident is being conducted.

PALDEA TRAINER DIES ATTEMPTING TO STOP ILLEGAL BLAZIKEN FIGHT

The Fire/Fighting type Pokémon Blaziken was traditionally used in a blood sport known as "Brawliken", where two Blaziken conditioned to be ultra-aggressive were placed in an arena and made to fight to the death. The fights were much more brutal than traditional Pokémon battles, and it was not unusual for one of the Blaziken to die from its injuries.

Recently, public opinion of the sport has swung into firmly negative territory, seeing it as abuse. Indeed, Brawliken is now illegal in all nine known regions and a felony in most of them. But underground matches still occur - and we have received word that a female Pokémon trainer from Paldea has lost her life after attempting to stop one such fight.

According to police reports, Nemona Alegria, 17, was exploring the city of Alfornada Tuesday morning when she heard noise coming from a seemingly abandoned warehouse - and inside she discovered an illegal match of Brawliken in progress. She intervened in an attempt to stop the match and save the Blaziken - but in the midst of the chaos one of the Blaze Pokémon accidentally stabbed Nemona with a knife-like metal spur strapped to its leg.

The stab struck Nemona in the leg and severed one of her femoral arteries. Eventually police and paramedics arrived at the scene, but by then Nemona had fallen unconscious from loss of blood. She died en route to the hospital.

Police are asking for the public's help in apprehending the ringleaders of the Brawliken match.

TOP NARANJA STUDENT "DISINTEGRATES" DURING SCHOOL ASSEMBLY

There has been a sudden death at Paldea's world-praised Naranja Academy that has left the school shaken. The victim was 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, a top student of the academy and president of its student council.

The events took place at the school's end-of-year assembly on December 8, at around noon - two hours after the assembly began. According to eyewitnesses Nemona began delivering a speech she had prepared for the occasion, celebrating the school's long history and recent graduates. and wishing everyone good luck in their future endeavours.

However five minutes after the speech began it abruptly stalled as Nemona began clutching her body seemingly in pain, and then suddenly, if eyewitnesses are to be believed, she collapsed to her knees before "crumbling into dust" in front of everyone. It is said that pandemonium broke out immediately afterward as panicked students wondered if the same would happen to them.

PALDEA GIRL DIES FOLLOWING COMPLICATIONS FROM TONSILLECTOMY

On Monday afternoon, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria was taken to the hospital by her mother Rosa for what everyone assumed would be a routine tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. The surgery went well and Nemona was expected to recover by the end of the week. However... that will not be the case. We have received word that a complication has developed, and Nemona has died.

From what is known, Nemona was discovered unresponsive in her bed at around 7:00 a.m. Tuesday when her mother went to check on her. She quickly called paramedics, but since Nemona's body was already showing signs of rigor mortis they were forced to pronounce her dead at the scene. It was subsequently discovered that for whatever reason the stitches holding the incisions closed had come undone and Nemona had drowned in her own blood in the middle of the night.

The suture material was subsequently found to be of substandard quality, apparently a cost-saving measure, and now Rosa has stated she plans to sue the hospital over the matter, although she refused to give further details. The hospital has stated they are "deeply saddened" by Nemona's death.

TEN STUDENTS OF PALDEA SCHOOL TRIP CONFIRMED DEAD IN AIR DISASTER

Every year Naranja Academy of Paldea, which consistently ranks at the top of the charts in its academic success, sends ten students randomly selected by lottery on a school trip to the region of Kitakami alongside their sister school Blueberry Academy. However, this year's trip has been struck down by tragedy before it could properly start.

According to reports incoming from our Kitakami office, the aircraft carrying the ten students to Kitakami for the trip broke apart in midair and crashed into the Great Paldean Ocean at around 3:30 pm local time. An hour or so later bodies and parts of the aircraft began washing up on the eastern shore of Kitakami. So far seven of the ten students' bodies have been recovered. The most notable casualty is Nemona Alegria, 17, the president of Naranja's student council.

The currently accepted theory for what caused the breakup is that an improper repair for a tailstrike incident twenty years earlier allowed fatigue cracks to grow in the aircraft's body until finally the hull reached the breaking point and disintegrated in midair. Everyone on board has been confirmed dead.

An investigation into the accident is conducted by the Kitakami Aviation Authority, in coordination with their Paldean counterparts.

SUBMARINE IMPLOSION CLAIMS LIFE OF ENTIRE CREW

The search for the Ocean Queen, a submersible that went missing four days ago, is over - and everyone's worst fear has sadly come true. It has been confirmed the submersible has been destroyed, and everyone on board killed.

On Saturday morning the Ocean Queen's mother ship, MV Wailord, began an expedition in the Great Paldean Ocean to explore the wreck of the Megalithic, a passenger liner that sank in the area around one hundred years ago. The Wailord arrived at the dive site twelve hours later and the Ocean Queen began its descent.

Four hours after the descent began contact was lost, however this was normal for the submersible. The alarm was only raised when the Ocean Queen failed to resurface at its normal resurface time. The Paldean Navy was notified soon after and began a major search of the area. Yesterday afternoon a debris field was discovered around 500 metres away from the bow of the Megalithic, and this field has been confirmed to be consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the hull.

The four people on board: Naranja student Nemona Alegria, her parents Rosa and Martín, and Ocean Queen pilot Antonio Juarez; have all been confirmed dead - likely killed instantly when the submersible's hull imploded.

An investigation is underway into the incident and the safety record of SeaConqueror, the company that operated the Ocean Queen.

GARGANACL IN MESAGOZA RAMPAGE DISCOVERED TO BE HIGH ON COCAINE

If you've been a loyal consumer of the UNN lately, you may have been following a story in Paldea where a Garganacl turned ultra-aggressive and went on a rampage throughout Mesagoza. The rampage lasted thirty minutes, during which the Garganacl viciously attacked any living creature in sight - human and Pokémon alike - and ended when the Rock Salt Pokémon abruptly collapsed and died.

The investigation into the incident has taken a strange twist. It has been discovered that the Garganacl was high on cocaine during the rampage - several plastic containers filled with the drug were discovered in its stomach during an autopsy. The origin of the cocaine has not been determined but it is believed to have originated from the Koronbia region and was being transported by drug traffickers to Unova. The smugglers had dumped this batch overboard to lighten their load.

The human victims of the attack have been hospitalised with injuries varying from semi-major to critical. One person has died - 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, the student council president of Naranja Academy. She was attacked by the Garganacl in the middle of the rampage and subsequently succumbed to her injuries en route to the hospital.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing.

ANIMATRONIC INCIDENT AT RESTAURANT KILLS TEEN GIRL

The Scott's Pizzeria restaurant in Paldea has found itself caught in a whirlwind of controversy after one of its animatronics attacked and killed a teenage girl in a gruesome incident last Friday.

The incident took place at around 6:00 p.m. A 17-year-old Naranja Academy student named Nemona Alegria had been taken to the restaurant by her friends to celebrate the end of the school year and the upcoming graduation ceremony. But just as Nemona was finishing her pizza something went wrong with one of the restaurant's animatronic characters, and the character abruptly tacked Nemona to the ground before ripping into her head with its sharp teeth.

ACCIDENT DURING TEST OF TELEPORTER DEVICE KILLS NARANJA STUDENT

Those following technological developments will know that Galarian experiments to unlock how certain Psychic-type Pokémon teleport, and harness that power for quick transport have recently achieved a breakthrough and produced a prototype of a teleportation device. However an accident during testing has resulted in the death of a female test subject.

The accident took place Friday morning at around 11:15 a.m. According to eyewitness reports one of the test subjects (who is being kept anonymous for privacy reasons) was preparing for the teleportation process, which would, if everything went right, have them reappear inside of a specially designated pod.

Once the teleportation command was given the student disappeared, but then things went wrong. According to the device's technician there apparently was a typo in the commands - with the result that the test subject did not reappear inside the pod as expected. Instead, a very unlucky Naranja Academy student, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, suffered a gruesome fate as the subject reappeared inside of her, blowing her body apart and covering the control room with what eyewitnesses call "a layer of liquid human". Nemona was pronounced dead at the scene.

All further tests of the teleporter have been suspended whilst police investigate the matter.

NARANJA STUDENT GIVES OWN LIFE TO SAVE FELLOW STUDENTS IN VEHICLE ACCIDENT

An inquest has found that a 17-year-old student of Paldea's Naranja Academy has bravely given her own life to save two of her fellow students from death.

The incident took place Sunday afternoon in the Kitakami region, where several students from Naranja and its sister school Blueberry Academy had travelled as part of a field trip. This trip is held every year and focuses on the unique myths and legends of the Kitakami region, especially the tale of the Pokémon Ogerpon.

However at around 11:00 am Nemona Alegria, the 17-year-old in question, noticed an out-of-control van barrelling towards two of her fellow students - two 13-year-olds, Florian Scarlet and Juliana Violet, and leaping into action she pushed them out of the way. That left her to take the full force of the van's impact, and she was killed instantly.

The van subsequently crashed into a nearby building, killing the driver, who was determined to be intoxicated (three times over the legal limit) at the time.

Nemona has been hailed as a hero by the Naranja staff for her actions, and a period of mourning has been declared for her across the entire school.

PALDEA CHAMPION TRAINER DIES AFTER TWENTY-STORY FALL

The Paldea Pokémon League has been left shaken after one of their star Champion-ranked trainers died in a fatal accident last Friday evening.

For those unaware, unlike most other regions Paldea does not have a single Champion - instead, the title is conferred to any trainer who can successfully complete its Gym Challenge and subsequently its Champion Assessment test, which is given by the region's top Champion.

At the time of the accident, which took place at around 6:30 p.m., 13-year-old Juliana Violet, who had successfully defeated the Top Champion to earn herself the Champion title a few hours earlier, was being given a tour of the Champion Sector of the Paldea Pokémon League's headquarters by a fellow Champion - 17-year-old Nemona Alegria.

Wanting to impress Juliana, Nemona told her that the windows of the headquarters building were indestructible, and to prove this she threw herself against the glass, bouncing harmlessly off of it. She tried the stunt again, only this time the force of Nemona's body impacting the window caused the glass to pop out of its frame, still intact, and in front of a horrified Juliana Nemona plunged thirty stories to the ground.

Juliana summoned paramedics who rushed to the point where Nemona hit the ground, but they were forced to declare her dead at the scene. Police are investigating the accident.

PALDEA TRAINER DIES FOLLOWING TERA ENERGY OVEREXPOSURE

The Paldean authorities have confirmed that a teenage Pokémon trainer from Paldea died yesterday morning after she was majorly overexposed to Tera energy.

The region of Paldea is enclosed in an energy field known as the "Tera field", through which flows a mysterious energy known as "Tera energy". Pokémon within the Tera field have the ability to harness Tera energy and use it to "Terastrallise", a phenomenom where the Tera energy inetracts with the Pokémon's cellular type aspects and allows the Pokémon to temporarily change its type to a hidden "Tera type". This technique has been harnessed by Paldean trainers using a device known as a "Tera Orb" so it can be put to use in battle. Terastrallising their Pokémon allows Paldean trainers to approach battles with extra flexibility, especially against opponents with a type advantage.

Studies have shown that the human body can reliably handle Tera energy at standard concentrations, but if the energy particles become too concentrated they can disrupt the functions of cells, tissues and eventually entire organs, causing progressively serious symptoms that lead up to - and can include - death.

The incident took place at 7:00 a.m. yesterday morning. The late trainer, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, was being allowed by the Paldea League to test a prototype of a new "Ultra Tera Orb" that could hold more energy than a standard Tera Orb. According to eyewitnesses, she challenged a fellow trainer to a battle to test the Orb, and when it came time for her to Terastrallise she threw the Orb, and it opened to unleash a massive burst of Tera energy that Terastrallised her Pokémon in spectacular fashion.

However it is currently believed that Nemona stood too close to the Ultra Orb whilst it was activating, and so much energy was released in her direction that her body ended up being overwhelmed by the Tera load, triggering catastrophic organ failure that killed her in a matter of seconds. The other trainer quickly summoned paramedics, but upon arriving at the hospital Nemona was pronounced dead.

Authorities are investigating the incident.

MYSTERIOUS HUMANOID CREATURES SIGHTED IN PALDEA KILL TRAINER

The region of Paldea is in panic. Assuming the Pokémon League there has not gone mental, we have learned that a group of humanoid creatures landed in the western province - and an attempt by two trainers to interact with them turned sour and got one of them killed.

The trainers in question, 17-year-old Arven Pepper-Chronos and 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, were visiting the western province late Thursday afternoon when they witnessed a massive flying saucer descending from the sky and landing somewhat near their position. Several humanoid creatures emerged, all donning spacesuits and possessing frail bodies with exposed brains.

Wanting to make a good first impression on the creatures Nemona greeted them and offered to teach them Pokémon battling. However one of them responded by pulling out a gun-like device and shooting Nemona with it, which fried off the girl's soft tissues, killing her instantly. According to Arven, all that was left of Nemona was her skeleton, which quickly collapsed into a bony pile.

Arven then stated the aliens attempted to shoot him too, but he was able to use one of his Pokémon as a distraction for long enough to escape. He has since alerted the Pokémon league to the threat, and they have put out advice warning people not to approach the aliens under any circumstances.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Oh my Arceus! Are you really aliens? Do you have Pokémon on your planet too? If you don't, I can show you how to ba-AAAAHHH!!!"

BUILDING COLLAPSE IN CENTRAL PALDEA KILLS TEENAGE GIRL

Last Wednesday morning, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria ventured into an abandoned warehouse in central Paldea so she could train some of her Pokémon there. Unfortunately, that would turn out to be the last thing she would ever do.

Reports have reached our Paldea office that the building collapsed in an accident around 4:00 p.m., and Nemona has been confirmed dead. It is currently suspected that during the training an attack from her Goodra accidentally struck one of the building's support beams, triggering a catastrophic collapse that buried Nemona in rubble.

She was extracted from said rubble four hours later, but by then it was too late, and paramedics were forced to pronounce her dead at the scene. Nemona was a top student of Naranja Academy and was set to graduate next year - the school has issued a statement expressing "sorrow at these circumstances".

An investigation into the accident is underway.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Aw yeah! That was awesome, Goodra! Yoh- Oh, uh-oh. I reeeaaally hope that column thing wasn't impor-OH SHIT!!!"

PALDEA TRAINER ELECTROCUTED IN BATHTUB

It has been reported to us that a female trainer from Paldea was killed Saturday evening after being electrocuted whilst taking a bath.

From what police have gathered, the trainer - 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, was taking a bath at around 8:00 p.m. as she typically did. She had brought a radio into the bathroom to listen to music whilst she relaxed - this was typical behaviour for her and she had taken precautions to ensure the cord remained dry.

Unfortunately for her as she reached for the cor to unplug it in preparation to get out her hand touched a frayed section of the cord - with the result that Nemona was fatally electrocuted. The alarm was only raised when she failed to leave the bathroom at her usual time, and after she was discovered, with a burn mark on her hand where she had grabbed the cord, she was rushed to the hospital but pronounced dead on arrival.

Nemona was a top student of the famed Naranja Academy, set to graduate next year, and the staff have announced a week's worth of mourning across campus.

The incident is being investigated by police.

COMPANY FINED AFTER VOLUNTEER FALLS INTO MOLTEN METAL

We have received word that the Revavroom Corporation, a massive Paldean company that serves as the world's largest manufacturer of industrial vehicles and equipment, have been handed a Ꝑ125,000 fine by the Paldean Work Safety Authority (WSA). The penalty comes after a volunteer worker was killed in an accident at their Mesagoza foundry Thursday morning.

According to eyewitnesses the worker in question, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, was on her ninth day of a ten-day volunteer program at the foundry sponsored by Naranja Academy, the school where Nemona was a top student. At around 11:35 a.m. Nemona was inspecting one of the large ceramic pots where iron metal was heated to just under 1,100ºC in preparation for casting.

And then disaster struck. For whatever reason Nemona somehow lost her footing, slipped and fell just over three metres into one of the pots holding the molten metal, being incinerated immediately upon impact. The WSA has cited Revavroom for one willful violation of required safety protocols when announcing the punishment.

"If the required safety guards or fall protection had been in place, a young life would not have met a tragic end here", the WSA said in a statement.

Revavroom has appealed the punishment and the case is set to go to court next month.

PALDEA TRAINER DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF RHYHORN RACE

Rhyhorn racing is a popular pastime in Kalos, the practice being several centuries old. Recently it has begun to pick up steam in Paldea too as part of the "Kalosian Invasion" sweeping that region. And it is now believed that Rhyhorn racing history has been made, for we have received word that for the first time, a competitor has managed to win a race - posthumously.

The competitor in question, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, had been training in the sport for three weeks and was participating in her first-ever serious race. Around one minute into the two-minute race, the audience was surprised when Nemona managed to pull into the lead, and she ultimately went on to win the race.

However when race officials came to congratulate her they found her slumped on the dirt next to the Rhyhorn. After she failed to respond to their requests to get up paramedics were summoned and Nemona was taken to the hospital where several attempts to resuscitate her were made, but to no avail, and she was pronounced dead at 11:15 a.m.

It is currently believed that Nemona's excitement at the prospect of winning the race somehow triggered a heart attack that ended up proving lethal. The death is being investigated further.

PALDEA TEEN KILLED BY UNKNOWN ALIEN MINERAL FROM METEORITE

The region of Paldea has alarming news to report. A meteorite carrying a strange alien mineral crashed into the ground just north of the Great Crater yesterday morning - and a teenager has been killed from exposure to this mineral.

The meteorite struck the ground at around 9:45 a.m., and first to arrive at the point where it landed was a group of Naranja Academy students who were in the area as part of an errand - 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, 17-year-old Arven Chronos-Pepper, 16-year-old Penny Botan and 13-year-old Florian Scarlet.

According to Florian, they saw that sprouting out the meteorite were several crystals of an emerald-green substance none of them had ever seen before. out of curiosity Nemona walked over to the mineral and broke off a chunk, stating that it "would make an awesome decoration" for her dorm room.

But then things turned sour - apparently, the crystal somehow fused itself with Nemona's hand and began to crystallise her entire arm. She waved her arm in panic to get it off, to no avail, and her friends could only watch in horror as the crystallisation eventually took over her entire body as she collapsed. Paramedics were summoned but due to fears of the crystal spreading further, they were unable to get close to Nemona's body. She was declared dead at the scene.

The Paldea League has advised trainers not to approach Nemona's body or the alien mineral until its properties can be determined.

Today marks three months since the Kantonian Empire landed troops on Paldea, and the battle for the Paldean capital Mesagoza has entered its second week with no end in sight.

Our war correspondents have received word that the Kantonian army have stormed Naranja Academy, the great school that calls Mesagoza home. At around 10:00 a.m. Mesagoza time on Tuesday Kantonian forces broke down the main door leading into the academy before fanning out into the building to search for Paldean holdouts, subduing resistance from students and staff alike.

Around forty or so students and three staff members have been confirmed killed - the most notable casualty being Nemona Alegria, 17, who was gunned down in her economics classroom attempting to shield her fellow students. in addition Naranja director Clavell Amigo's whereabouts are currently unknown and it believed he has been taken prisoner.

Reports indicate that the Kantonian occupiers have turned the school into a temporary POW camp.

NARANJA STUDENT DIES AFTER SMOKING ACCIDENT SETS HER ABLAZE

They say smoking is bad for you, whether it's due to it causing lung cancer, artery disease or blindness. It has recently been reported that a student of the world-famed Naranja Academy died whilst smoking, although not in the way you'd expect.

According to eyewitnesses, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria was enjoying a cigarette she obtained from... we'll just say, "shady" sources... at around 3:00 p.m. when she was approached by the school's director, Clavell Amigo, who wanted to discuss a recent incident in Area Zero of the Great Crater of Paldea.

As smoking was forbidden on the school grounds Nemona hastily hid the cigarette behind her back to keep Clavell from seeing it. Unfortunately, the cigarette ended up setting fire to Nemona's school uniform and Nemona met a blazing end in front of Clavell and several horrified students.

After hastily putting Nemona out Clavell summoned paramedics who raced Nemona, covered with second- and third-degree burns, to the hospital but she succumbed to her injuries later that afternoon.

The incident is being investigated by police.

UNOVAN COUP ATTEMPT DEFEATED

Breaking news from Unova - we have received word that an attempted coup d'état by the villainous Team Plasma has been defeated by Unovan authorities.

The attempt began at around 9:00 a.m. when a large brigade of Team Plasma members forced their way into the Unova League's headquarters near Route 10, took the region's eight Gym Leaders hostage and announced Team Plasma's takeover of the region via a radio and television broadcast. However at 9:30 a.m. Champion Iris arrived at the headquarters with a group of experienced trainers and engaged the Plasma force in a fierce battle.

The battle lasted an hour and ended with Iris and her allies successfully defeating and capturing the Plasma brigade and freeing the Gym Leaders. However several of her allies, as well as many of the Plasma soldiers sustained varying degrees of injuries - and it has also become known that one of Iris's allies, a 17-year-old Paldean tourist by the name of Nemoma Alegria, has passed away after she was hit by a large rock hurled by one of the Plasma Pokémon.

In an emergency address, Iris announced she will be officially designating Team Plasma as a terrorist organisation and will be committing all available forces to destroying the group.

BATTLE WITH UNKNOWN CREATURE KILLS PALDEA TEEN

If you've been paying attention to Paldea you'll know that interesting times have befallen that region, as they have been visited by various unknown creatures over the previous few months. However, not all of the encounters go smoothly - we have received word that an encounter between one of these creatures and a teenage student of Naranja Academy has gone sour and led to the death of both parties.

According to eyewitnesses, the unknown creature and 17-year-old Nemona Alegria crossed paths at 11:30 a.m. in Area Zero of the Great Crater of Paldea. The creature was described as being "like a great shadow, in the middle of which was a dark form, of man-shape maybe, yet greater; and a power and terror seemed to be in it and to go before it." It engaged Nemona's team in a fierce battle, using a variety of fiery magical powers but in the end, Nemona managed to defeat it and send it falling over a ravine.

However, as it fell it lashed out a fiery whip that successfully caught Nemona and yanked her over the edge as well. A few hours later a search team found the bodies of both the creature and Nemona, and it was determined they both died form injuries sustained don impact with the ground.

The incident is being investigated by police.

PALDEA TOURIST IN UNOVA KILLED BY NUCLEAR BOMB

We have just received word from our Unovan correspondent team that a Paldean tourist visiting the Wildlands west of Unova has died in what is probably the most overkill death of all time. Apparently she was accidentally blown up by - get this - a literal nuclear bomb.

The incident took place at around 6:00 a.m. Friday morning. A Shiny Charizard strategic bomber was carrying a Rage of Arceus atomic bomb when it broke apart in mid-air, apparently the result of a fuel leak in the right wing. The bomb fell 3,000 metres to the ground where it ended up falling near a tent where a Paldean tourist, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, was camping for the night.

Upon detonation the bomb's power vapourised Nemona instantly and blasted a massive crater into the ground, as well as casting a massive mushroom cloud into the sky. Thankfully the way the wind was blowing precluded radiation from falling on Unova itself.

The accident has triggered protests through Unova against the region's nuclear bomb program, and Nemona's family have also indicated they are planning on suing the Unovan League for their daughter's death.

BANETTE KILLS HUMAN GIRL IN SURPRISE ATTACK

The small Ghost-type Pokémon, Banette, is famous for possessing discarded dolls and other such toys and seeking revenge against the human who threw said doll away. Normally they take a grye humanoid form, but recent developments have seen Banettes learn to maintain the form of the discarded toy. And a more alarming development: Some Banettes have become hostile to all humans - not just the one who threw them away - a lesson that Nemona Alegria learned too late.

According to eyewitnesses the 17-year-old was disposing of some household junk into a dumpster when a Banette that was already in the dumpster happened to animate itself - and wasted no time in striking. Grabbing a discarded kitchen knife it plunged the blade into Nemona's neck, severing her spinal cord and killing her instantly. It has since been captured and destroyed.

The Paldean Pokémon League has issued a warning for trainers to be careful around toys that show signs of possession.

HAMMER THROW ACCIDENT KILLS TEENAGE GIRL

It has been reported that a 17-year-old girl was killed in an accident at a hammer throw event Sunday evening.

The hammer throw is one of four events in regular outdoor track and field competitions. The event involves contestants swinging a device consisting of a metal ball attached by a steel wire to a grip and releasing it to throw it as far as possible. Traditionally the game was played in Galar's Crown Tundra, but the game has seen an explosion in popularity in other regions recently, most probably due to its inclusion in the Interregional Athletics Championships.

The accident occurred at around 6:30 p.m. The thrower, 16-year-old Penny Botan, was winding up in preparation to throw the hammer when it accidentally slipped out of her grip, flew through the air and struck 17-year-old Nemona Alegria in the head, smashing her skull and pulverising her brain. The girl was declared dead at the scene by paramedics.

Penny has since been arrested and faces one charge of involuntary manslaughter. She will face court next month.

GIRL KILLED AT FUNERAL OF OWN GRANDMOTHER

It was supposed to be a simple ceremony to remember the life of Juanita Alegria. But Juanita's funeral has apparently gone awry after an accident led to the death of Juanita's granddaughter Nemona.

The accident took place at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday evening. Nemona was one of the pallbearers carrying her grandmother's coffin when according to bystanders she tripped on a rock, and as she fell the other pallbearers lost their grip on her grandmother's coffin, which fell on top of Nemona, crushing her. Nemona's mother Rosa reportedly "went into hysterics" upon witnessing the accident.

Paramedics were summoned and Nemona was rushed to the hospital, but she ended up succumbing to her injuries several hours after the accident. The Lavington Funeral Company, who organised the service, have not responded to the UNN's request for comment.

PALDEA GIRL DROWNS IN POOL AFTER WALLS APPEAR AROUND IT

Reports of a shocking death have shaken the small Paldean town of Cabo Poco. The victim was 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, one of Naranja Academy's top students.

According to Nemona's mother, Nemona had jumped into their family swimming pool to cool off at around 9:00 a.m. while she went shopping. However, when she came back three hours later she discovered that somehow a wall had been erected around the edges of the pool in such a way that Nemona could not get out.

She panicked and summoned the aid of some of her Fighting-type Pokémon, who were able to break down one of the walls, only for them to find Nemona's body at the bottom of the pool. She summoned paramedics, but Nemona was pronounced deceased upon arrival at the hospital.

The incident is being investigated. It is believed a Psychic-type was responsible for the walls' appearance, but this has not been confirmed.

TRUTH REVEALED: MURDERED PALDEA TEEN KILLED BY FOREIGN AGENTS

It has been three days since 17-year-old Nemona Alegria was shot dead in Paldea. She was having a friendly Pokémon battle with 13-year-old Juliana Violet, which pitted Nemona's Quaxly against Juliana's Sprigatito. Eventually thanks to its type advantage Sprigatito managed to knock Quaxly out, handing Nemona the win, and Juliana congratulated Nemona on her victory.

Just then a black car pulled up next to them and two men got out, producing 22-caliber pistols and unleashing a hail of gunfire on Nemona in front of Juliana. After riddling Nemona with thirteen bullets the men ducked back into their car, which drove off at high speed. Juliana summoned paramedics, but they were forced to declare Nemona dead at the scene from blood loss.

The two men have since been arrested - and damning details have been revealed. It has been discovered the two men are agents of the Unovan overseas intelligence agency, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), who had been dispatched to Paldea to assassinate the chief of operations of the recent nerve gas attacks in the Ninbasa city subway - and who had mistaken Nemona for their target.

Geeta Grimrose, one of the top Champions of Paldea, has announced she will be taking the Unova Pokémon League to the International Criminal Court over the matter.

The Unova League did not respond to the UNN's request for comment.

TOP NARANJA STUDENT FATALLY ASPHYXIATED IN DRY ICE ACCIDENT

17-year-old Nemona Algeria had big plans for her life. She was known by the staff of Naranja Academy, the famous school where she studied, as a top student who consistently scored straight A’s on her subjects. It was said that once she graduated, she could potentially have left a great legacy behind.

Unfortunately that promise has been silenced permanently. We have received word that Nemona was killed alongside 13-year-old Florian Scarlet in an accident at a sauna in Montenevera whilst celebrating the latter’s birthday.

According to eyewitnesses the accident happened at around 4:00 p.m. The two were relaxing in a sauna pool after the main festivities had concluded, and Nemona allegedly gave Florian a birthday kiss. Just then a male guest (who is being kept anonymous at his request) stated he wanted to “spice things up” before throwing a 30-kilogram piece of dry ice into the pool.

Unfortunately the dry ice quickly sublimated to create carbon dioxide gas, which swiftly filled the room. Although Nemona and Florian managed to escape the pool it wasn’t long before the lack of oxygen caught up with them and they passed out. By the time paramedics arrived fifteen minutes later, the lack of oxygen had inflicted such terrible brain damage that the two were declared dead upon arriving at the hospital.

Paldean police are investigating the incident.

PALDEA TEEN DIES ATTEMPTING "ULTIMATE SELFIE"

Let's face it - some people will do anything for a selfie. The Paldean authorities have had to warn people not to get too reckless with the photos, after a student of Naranja Academy was killed in an accident trying to take a selfie at the trainyard near the Paldean capital Mesagoza.

According to the coroner's office Nemona Alegria, 17, had ventured to the trainyard as part of Naranja Academy when she clambered onto one of the parked train to take a selfie, according to friends. However when she extended out her selfie stick and began pointing it around looking for the best angle the stick accidentally hit an overhead power line that sent 27,000 volts of electricity surging through Nemona's body.

Nemona was set aflame by the force of the electricity. Her friends hastily used their Water-type Pokémon to put her out before summoning help, but paramedics were unable to save Nemona, who suffered burns to around 65% of her body. She died several minutes after arriving at the hospital.

The train yard's operators have announced that they will be banning selfie sticks from their property in light of the incident, which is being investigated by police.

BREAKING NEWS

BLUEBERRY ACADEMY TERARIUM DESTROYED, OVER HALF OF SCHOOL'S STUDENTS KILLED, TSUNAMI STRIKES SURROUNDINGS, CHAMPION CRITICALLY INJURED

We have received word from our Unova offices that the famed Blueberry Academy has been shaken by one of the worst disasters man can imagine. Apparently the academy's world-famed Terarium, an undersea nature park that plays host to four artificial Pokémon habitats, was destroyed at noon.

From what is suspected, it is believed the disaster was triggered when a Wailord, fleeing from a school of Wishiwashi in panic, failed to see where it was going and crashed into the Terarium. The impact was sufficiently powerful that the Terarium panel it crashed into caved in from the force and sent a large volume of water gushing in, but not for long as the sheer weight of the water pressing on the damaged section triggered a catastrophic chain-reaction failure throughout the Terarium's steel skeleton, and within seconds the entire Terarium collapsed under the ocean's pressure.

It is believed that around 630 of Blueberry Academy's 1,200 students were studying in the Terarium at the time of the disaster. Nearly all of those students, including the school league's Elite Four, are either presumed or have been confirmed dead. A large number of Blueberry's staff have also been killed in the disaster - including the school's director Cyrano. There were also two students from Naranja Academy in Paldea - 13-year-old Juliana Violet and 17-year-old Nemona Alegria - who were attending Blueberry Academy as part of a student exchange program. Both of them have also been confirmed dead.

We have also received word that the collapse has also set off a tsunami that has struck several of the southern coastal towns and cities in Unova. The worst damage has been reported in Castelia City, where around 40 people have been killed and more than 100 injured. Champion Iris, who was visiting the city at the time as part of her annual checkup on the gyms of the region, was caught in the wave and has been critically injured to the point of hospitalisation.

In an emergency session the Unova League have appointed former Opelucid City Gym Leader Drayden as acting champion, and he was declared a state of emergency for the entire region.

ACCIDENT WITH MEW CLAIMS LIFE OF PALDEA GIRL

In one of our previous week's issues we stated that Mew, the Psychic-type Mythical Pokémon, was the only one of Kanto's 151 native species not to have killed a person. It appears we may have jinxed this, for reports have arrived from Cerulean Cave in Kanto that a Mew has killed a Paldean trainer in an accident last Saturday morning.

The trainer in question, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, was a tourist from Paldea who had been cleared to enter the cave the day before the accident. Normally one needs to enter the Kanto Hall of Fame before they can enter, but Paldea's top champion, Geeta Grimrose, had put in a good word on Nemona's behalf to allow her to enter.

Nempona entered the cave at 10:00 a.m. and told friends that she would be back by 1:00 p.m. However when she failed to return at the specified time the Kanto League searched the cave, where they found an unconscious Nemona inside. Paramedics were summoned, but they were forced to declare Nemona dead at the scene.

Based on the available evidence, including footage recovered from her Rotom phone, it is believed that Nemona, whilst chewing on a Bluk Berry, encountered a Mew. In her excitement she threw an Ultra Ball at it in an attempt to catch it, but she missed. In panic the Mew tried to flee, and in the process its tail caught on Nemona's leg, tripping her up and pulling her to the ground.

As Nemona fell she accidentally bit her tongue, and when the Bluk Berry's juices seeped into the wound it triggered a bout of erectile glossitis, which caused Nemona's tongue to swell to the point she choked to death on it.

Police are investigating the incident.

CHRISTMAS TREE FIRE KILLS PALDEA GIRL

The family of a 17-year-old girl have told the UNN that she has died, twenty-four hours after she helped rescue her family from a house fire.

The fire was apparently sparked by an artificial Christmas tree at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday night. Investigators have determined that a short circuit form one of the tree's electric cables caused the fire and the house did not have working smoke detectors.

The fire was detected by 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, who helped her family, most notably parents Rosa and Martín, and their pet Rockruff to escape. However Nemona was eventually overcome by smoke inhalation and collapsed. She was extracted from the burning house by firefighters and taken to the hospital, where she died 24 hours later.

"She was the one who yelled fire, and she saved our lives... but at the cost of her own..." said Rosa regarding the incident.

The family lost everything in the fire. Nemona's close personal friends have started a fundraiser to pay for funeral costs and other expenses.

STAMPEDE KILLS SEVERAL NARANJA ACADEMY STUDENTS

Disaster has struck Paldea's Naranja Academy - we have received word that twelve students were killed in a stampede at the school theatre's annual Christmas play.

According to eyewitnesses the play began at 10:30 a.m. and was scheduled to run until 11:30 a.m. However, at 10:50 a.m, whilst the play's main conflict was being introduced, someone falsely shouted "Fire!", although there was no fire at the time.

Still, this did not stop panic from taking over the 120 students in attendance, and as they all rushed for the exits fifteen students were knocked down and badly trampled in the ensuing stampede. Twelve of them have since succumbed to their injuries. The most notable casualty is Nemona Alegria, 17, the president of Naranja's student council.

The student who shouted the false alarm has since been identified as Xavier Gustuma, 19. He has since been arrested and charged with twelve counts of manslaughter and one count of disturbing the peace. He is set to go to court next month.

NARANJA STUDENT KILLED BY SHINY POKÉMON SHE RECEIVED AS CHRISTMAS PRESENT

The Christmas spirit that has settled over Naranja Academy has been completely vaporised following an incident in which one of the school's top students was killed by a Shiny Pokémon she had received as a Christmas present.

Said Shiny Pokémon was specifically an Oinkologne that was caught by 13-year-old Florian Scarlet and given to 17-year-old Nemona Alegria as a present. Nemona received the Oinkologne at 8:30 a.m, according to Florian.

At noon Nemona was interacting with fellow students in the school courtyard when it unleashed a concentrated sweet scent, a technique normally used by the species to attract mates. However Nemona abruptly began suffering an allergic reaction to the chemicals the Oinkologne used. The allergy quickly developed into anaphylactic shock.

Fellow students summoned an ambulance, but Nemona was unconscious by the time it arrived, and she died five minutes after arriving at the hospital.

Police are investigating the incident and Naranja director Clavell Amigo has stated he will be implementing annual anaphylaxis training for all Naranja staff in light of the tragedy.

MYSTERIOUS "NONEXISTENT" CREATURE CRUSHES, KILLS TEENAGE GIRL

Paldea is in a buzz after a top Naranja student, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, encountered a never-before-seen creature on Tuesday - an encounter that would end up proving fatal to both her and her Meowscarada partner.

The incident was captured on camera just outside the entrance to the Paldean capital Mesagoza at 10:00 p.m. Tuesday night. At the beginning of the footage the unknown creature can be seen. It appears to take the form of a transparent humanoid-like figure rolling two stone rollers ahead of and behind it. When Nemona encounters the creature she gets excited and sends out her Meowscarada in hopes of potentially catching the creature.

However to her surprise, Meowscarada's attacks do not seem to have any effect on the creature, and eventually it rolls up to Meowscarada and, to Nemona's horror, knocks her Grass-type partner down before gruesomely crushing it, reducing the poor Pokémon to a gory mess staining the green grass crimson. In panic Nemona turns and attempts to flee, but she ends up tripping over a small rock, and is unable to get up in time before the creature crushes her too. In just a matter of seconds the creature's rollers crush Nemona into a larger bloody pulp, the unknown creature leaving a bloody trail behind as it rolls away.

The Paldea League has warned anyone who sights this creature not to approach it, and to escape quickly if it approaches you. There have rumours swirling around the creature's body is not actually anchored in this dimension, but these have yet to be confirmed.

Well, it seems the new year is already off to a great start. We have received word that the great Naranja Academy in Paldea has been left in mourning after one of its star students was killed in an accident on New Years' Day.

The victim, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, was having a Pokémon battle with 13-year-old Juliana Violet to celebrate the new year. At the time of the accident Juliana's Skeledirge was up against Nemona's Goodra. Juliana ordered her Skeledirge to use Flamethrower on Goodra, but due to its accuracy having been lowered the Skeledirge missed its attack and instead the Flamethrower struck Nemona square on, setting her aflame.

As bystanders intervened to put Nemona out the battle was called off and an ambulance was summoned, but Nemona passed away from her injuries en route to the hospital.

The school's director, Clavell Amigo, has stated he is "very much saddened" over the loss and that the school will provide counselling for those who need it. Meanwhile Juliana has been taken into police custody pending an investigation.

PARADOX POKÉMON IN PALDEA’S GREAT CRATER KILLS TEEN GIRL

The most recently discovered Paradox Pokémon, Raging Bolt, has just been implicated in its first human fatality after one attacked and killed a teenage girl yesterday morning.

Raging Bolt was first discovered three weeks ago in the Great Crater of Paldea, and according to genetic analysis it is believed to be a prehistoric ancestor of Raikou. The incident that led to the death occurred at around 10:30 a.m.

According to eyewitnesses the victim, Nemona Alegria, 17, approached Raging Bolt whilst accompanying a research team exploring Area Zero, the region within the Great Crater. Apparently thinking it was cute she walked up to it and began to pet it. However it seems Raging Bolt disliked this, for it grew agitated and promptly discharged 20,000 volts of electricity from its fur, which surged through Nemona’s body.

The other team members used their own Pokémon to drive Raging Bolt away, but Nemona had to be declared dead at the site from her injuries.

An investigation into the incident is being conducted.

TEREPAGOS ENCOUNTER REVEALED TO HAVE CAUSED DEATH OF NARANJA STUDENT

Ever since the joint Naranja/Blueberry Academy research team returned from the underdepths of Area Zero in the Great Crater of Paldea one week ago, excitement has been buzzing about the Pokémon known as Terapagos and its unique "Stellar" type, the discovery of which has been confirmed to be authentic following new evidence released by the team. However, there is one glaring problem - 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, one of the two Naranja students on the trip, has failed to return. There have been rumours swirling in the media that Nemona was killed by the dazzling Pokémon - and unfortunately those rumours have been confirmed as true.

According to an eyewitness report from Carmine Greenblue, one of the Blueberry students on the trip, the group had just encountered Terapagos when it began to take a liking to Nemona's friend Florian Scarlet - only for Carmine's younger brother Kieran to intervene and catch it with a Master Ball - apparently the result of a dispute he had with Florian about the ownership of certain Pokémon. After this he decided to use Terapagos to battle Florian, and one of Blueberry Academy's teachers (who is being kept anonymous at her request) suggested he Terastallise it. He did so, and it transformed in spectacular fashion.

However things turned sideways when Terapagos's power overflowed and the Pokémon flew out of control, breaking its own Master Ball and forcing everyone to battle it and subdue it. It notably attacked with blasts of concentrated Tera energy - and Carmine recounts that just as they were about to win the battle Terapagos managed to fire a well-aimed blast at Nemona and strike her square in the chest. It is believed the sheer amount of Tera energy in the blast overwhelmed Nemona's heart and sent her into cardiac arrest.

Eventually Terapagos was subdued, and everyone got out of Area Zero before racing Nemona to a nearby hospital, but she was declared dead on arrival by doctors.

Police are investigating the incident.

PALDEA CHAMPION KILLED BY CROWBAR-WIELDING ASSAILANT

One of the champions of Paldea was murdered near Artazon last Saturday night, it has been reported.

The murder took place at 7:00 p.m, and the victim was 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, one of the top students of Naranja Academy. According to what eyewitnesses are available she was preparing to take a Flying Taxi back to the academy when a man ran up to her, stated his name as "Gordon Freeman", and challenged her to a battle.

Assuming he meant a Pokémon battle, Nemona took out a Poké Ball and prepared to throw it when "Gordon" pulled out a crowbar and slammed it into the side of Nemona's head, knocking her unconscious, and was able to inflict a brutal bludgeoning before police arrived to arrest him.

Paramedics were forced to pronounce Nemona dead at the scene. "Gordon" has since been identified as 23-year-old Alec Philippe, and he was determined to be suffering from psychosis at the time of the murder. it is unclear whether he will be mentally fit to stand trial.

POISON-TYPE MYTHICAL POKÉMON KILLS PALDEA GIRL

New details have emerged in the recent mass possession incident from Kitakami. These details have been provided by 13-year-old Juliana Violet, who states the incident was the work of a Poison/Ghost Mythical Pokémon she has tentatively dubbed "Pecharunt".

According to Juliana's eyewitness account, she and several friends - Penny Botan, 16, Arven Pepper-Chronos, 16 and Nemona Alegria, 17. They were on a trip to Kitakami because Juliana wished to reunite with two friends she met during her initial trip to the region - the native Greenblue siblings, Carmine 16, and Kieran, 13. However upon arrival Carmine was displaying odd behaviour, as were several of the villagers of Mossui Town, and the group quickly learned that Pecharunt was using toxic mochi to possess them.

A confrontation followed, during which Arven, Penny and Nemona all became possessed, but eventually Juliana and Kieran managed to catch Pecharunt and break its control over the villagers. However this victory turned tragic as Nemona's body did not react well to Pecharunt's poison, and she collapsed shortly after Pecharunt was caught. She was raced to a nearby hospital, but succumbed within thirty minutes.

It has since been discovered that Nemona had a rare genetic condition that prevented her body form properly clearing away the molecules of Pecharunt's poison, allowing it to build to toxic levels in her blood and tissues. The matter is being investigated.

PALDEA "STARCLEAVER" SPACECRAFT EXPLODES, CREW CONFIRMED DEAD

The bold attempt by Paldea to send a group of ordinary school students into space has ended in tragedy. The spacecraft exploded 77 seconds after lift-off, and everyone on board has been confirmed dead. The casualties include five Naranja Academy students; Nemona Alegria (17), Florian Scarlet (13), Juliana Violet (13), Penny Botan (16), and Arven Pepper-Chronos (17), as well as the pilot, Melissa Tavers (34).

The so-called "Rayquaza I" mission, named after the legendary Pokémon of the sky, was the cumulation of seven years of collaboration between the Paldean Space Agency (PSA) and their Kalosian counterparts. The five students were all hand-picked by Naranja director Clavell Amigo from a pool of around 300 of the academy's 1,200 students. They had undergone rigorous training to prepare them for life in space, including G-force testing and practice on low-gravity life and basic maintenance on the craft.

The current theory on what caused the spacecraft to explode is that a faulty O-ring seal (rendered brittle by the unusually low temperatures of the launch), allowed hot exhaust gases to impinge on the main fuel tank, eventually causing the main tank to catch fire and explode with such force that the spacecraft was completely destroyed. A commission has been established by the PSA to investigate the disaster further.

The PSA have sent their condolences to the families of the victims, as as Clavell Amigo, the director of Naranja Academy.

NEMONA’S LAST WORDS:

"Wahoo! We're going to space! I can't wait to find those alien Pokemon and battle- hey, why is that alarm going off-“

KABOOM!

PALDEA SPACECRAFT ON RAYQUAZA II MISSION BREAKS APART, CREW DEAD

We have received credible word from multiple sources that the Paldean space program has suffered a serious tragedy. Apparently the Rayquaza II mission, which aimed to study how certain Bug-type Pokémon behave in zero-gravity, ended in disaster when the Starcleaver spacecraft running the mission broke apart over Kalosian airspace during re-entry.

Five Naranja Academy students were on board the spacecraft as part of the recent “Students in Space” program and all five of them have been confirmed dead; Nemona Alegria (17), Florian Scarlet (13), Juliana Violet (13), Penny Botan (16), and Arven Pepper-Chronos (17), as well as the pilot, Kayla Robinson (29).

After reviewing footage obtained of the spacecraft during take-off, it was determined that during said take-off a piece of the booster tank’s insulation foam had broken off and hit the left wing with sufficient force to punch a hole in the wing’s heat shield - with the result that during re-entry hot atmospheric gases could enter the wing and destroy its internal structure, causing the spacecraft to eventually be subject to atmospheric forces that tore it apart.

The Paldean Space Agency and the Naranja Academy staff has issued condolences to the families of the victims. In addition, the PSA has announced the formation of a commission to investigate the disaster.

UVA ACADEMY STUDENT KILELD BY PARADOX POKÉMON

A student of Paldea’s world-esteemed Uva Academy was killed by a Paradox Pokémon in Area Zero of the Great Crater yesterday morning.

The student in question was 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, who was the president of Uva’s student council and known by students and staff as a girl with a passion of Pokémon battling more ferocious than anything they had seen. She had apparently ventured into Area Zero at 8:00 a.m. to film an episode of her video series “The Hunt for Paradox Pokémon”.

For those unaware, Paradox Pokémon are a group of mechanical Pokémon that reside in Area Zero. Their exact origins are unclear, with some experts claiming they were brought in form the future by means of a Time Machine crafted by the late professor Turo Pepper-Chronos.

After a few minutes of searching Nemona came across the Paradox Pokémon Iron Valiant, which is #1006 in the National Pokédex and  appears to be a robotic counterpart of Gardevoir and Gallade. She engaged the Iron Valiant in battle with her Pawmot, and initially the battle went well.

However eventually the Iron Valiant managed to strike her Pawmot down with its bladed weapon, and just as Nemona wound up to send another Pokémon into the field the Iron Valiant charged at her and, with a powerful thrust, impaled her with its weapon. After a few seconds it withdrew its blade before retreating.

After she failed to return at the specified time a search was launched of Area Zero and Nemona’s body was discovered at 8:45 a.m. However she had to be pronounced dead at the scene by doctors.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing.

PALDEA TEEN, 18, DIES AT OWN BIRTHDAY PARTY

The birthday of a teenage girl from Paldea has turned tragic after she died at the event, we have been told.

Nemona Algeria, who was turning 18, was a top student of the world-class Naranja Academy and the president of the school’s student council. Her birthday party was being held at her home in the southern town of Cabo Poco.

The incident that led to her death took place at around 5:00 p.m. According to a male eyewitness (who is being kept anonymous at their request), Nemona and several older Naranja students were taking turns playing the “waterfall” drinking game, which involves participants taking turns having shots straight from the bottle, continuously.

After running out of other supplies of alcohol the group turned to Kalosian sprits. When Nemona began slurring her words incoherently, the group decided she was drunk and put her to bed in the recovery position.

However, when the party ended a few hours later, Nemona's mother went to wake her, only to find she was not breathing and her body was cold. Her mother summoned paramedics who raced Nemona to the hospital, but she had to be declared dead on arrival.

Whilst police investigate the incident, Paldean authorities have announced they will launching a campaign aimed to discourage youth drinking.

PALDEA TEEN DIES AFTER INGESTING MAX SOUP AND HERBA MYSTICA

The Galarian authorities have reported that a Paldean tourist passed away after she consumed both a bowl of Max Soup and a sandwich infused with Paldea's "Herba Mystica" herbs in one sitting.

The incident occurred at the Isle of Armor at approximately 2:00 a.m. 74-year-old Mustard Dijon, the master of the Master Dojo on the island, witnessed the entire incident. According to his eyewitness report the victim, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, has recently earned herself a bowl of the dojo's Max Soup after defeating Mustard's wife Honey in a Pokémon battle. The soup has two recipes, a recipe for humans and a recipe for Pokémon, although both taste identical.

After Nemona ate the soup and the Herba Mystics sandwich (which she had brought along from Paldea) a few minutes passed before she abruptly began complaining of intense stomach pain, which lasted for a few seconds before she collapsed. According to Mustard, he summoned a team of paramedics who rushed Nemona to a hospital on the mainland, but by the time they arrived, she had already passed away from shock.

It has since been determined by pathologists that Honey inadvertently mixed up the Pokémon and human recipes for the Max Soup - with the result that the mixture of soup and Herba Mystica pulp reacted in her stomach, and the mixture expanded to the point her stomach ruptured, spilling acid and undigested food into her abdomen that dissolved away her vital organs.

Mustard has stated he is willing to take full responsibility for the tragedy. Meanwhile, Honey was arrested by Galarian police two hours later and charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter. She is set to go to trial next month.

BOMBIRDIER DROPS ROCK THAT KILLS PALDEA GIRL

We have received word from Paldea that a Bombirdier has managed to kill a female trainer after dropping a rock on her, according to local authorities.

Bombirdier is a dual Flying/Dark type Pokémon that is native to the south and west provinces of the Paldea region. According to the Definitive Pokédex, one of its favourite pastimes is gathering objects such as rocks in the apron on its chest and then dropping them from great heights for fun.

The Bombirdier involved in the incident was known throughout Paldea for being unusually large compared to other members of its species. It is popularly known as the “Open Sky Titan”, one of the five great Titan Pokémon of Paldea.

On Thursday morning at 10:25 a.m., 17-year-old Nemona Alegria was passing through the west province on a stroll. Meanwhile the Open Sky Titan was dropping large boulders from the top of the mountain where it normally resided. And unfortunately one of the boulders it dropped happened to land on top of Nemona, fatally crushing her.

Her Rotom phone was quick to dial help, but when paramedics arrived on the scene they were forced to declare her dead.

There is debate going on in the Paldea League as to whether the Open Sky Titan should be captured and destroyed for the incident.

PALDEA TRAINER KILLED BY ORTHWORM

It has been reported that a Pokémon trainer from Paldea has been killed in an incident involving an Orthworm.

Orthworm is a Steel-type Pokémon native to Paldea. It has six tendril-like arms, three on each side of its body, that it can use to throw a flurry of punches at attackers.

The Orthworm involved in the incident had previously consumed a Herba Mystica plant from Area Zero of the Great Crater, which had caused it to grow several times its original size. It was popularly known as the “Lurking Steel Titan”.

At around 2:15 p.m. Monday afternoon 17-year-old Nemona Alegria had arrived at the cave where the Orthworm resided to battle it as part of a bet with friends. However she didn’t account for the fact that it was Orthworm mating season at the time, which meant the Orthworm was more aggressive and territorial than usual.

She sent a Goodra to battle the Orthworm, but for reasons unknown the Orthworm elected to bypass it and attack Nemona directly, using its tendrils to grab her and begin repetitively slamming her head against the wall of the cave. After several slams it dropped her before retreating.

Nemona’s Rotom Phone managed to call for help, but by the time paramedics arrived Nemona had already succumbed to shock and head trauma.

The Paldean police are investigating the incident.

DONDOZO AND TATSUGIRI KILL PALDEA GIRL

A teenage girl from Paldea has been killed after an incident involving a Dondoza and a Tatsugiri, it has been reported.

Tatsugiri and Dondozo are a pair of fish-like Pokémon native to Paldea. Tatsugiri is a small Dragon/Water-type that resembles the fish found on a piece of sushi. It is recognised as one of the most intelligent Dragon-types. On the other hand, Dondozo is a much larger pure Water-type that resembles a catfish. It is powerful, but not very intelligent.

The two species are well known for closely associating with each other. This is most well known when they partner up for hunting - the Tatsugiri will play dead to lure prey in before ordering Dondozo to ambush it. Do doze is also known to protect Tatsugiri inside its mouth from predators - this also allows Tatsugiri to boost Dondozo’s stats in battle via its unique “Commander” ability.

The Dondozo and Tatsugiri involved in the incident were popularly known as the “False Dragon Titan” due to their large size. They were apparently out hunting when 17-year-old Nemona Alegria came across them at 2:50 p.m. last Wednesday afternoon. Wanting to catch them she sent out her Quaquaval to battle them.

However about five minutes into the battle the Dondozo attempted to strike Quaquaval with an Aqua Tail attack, only for it to miss and strike a nearby tree instead with such force that the massive tree was sent toppling onto Nemona. The two Pokémon retreated as Nemona’s Rotom Phone summoned paramedics, but Nemona died at the scene.

Police are investigating the incident.

PARADOX POKÉMON FATALLY TRAMPLES NARANJA STUDENT

Paldean authorities have reported that a 17-year-old student of Naranja Academy was trampled to death by a Great Tusk Sunday evening.

Great Tusk is a dual-type Ground/Fighting Pokémon. It is a member of a group of Pokémon known as “Paradox Pokémon”, which are ancient or futuristic relatives of already-existing Pokémon. It is currently heavily debated as to their true origins - mainly whether they come from another dimension or not.

In the case of Great Tusk, it appears to be an ancient relative of Donphan. It possesses much larger tusks than modern Donphan, and it not seen curling into a ball - and is much more aggressive to boot.

Normally Great Tusk and other Paradox Pokémon are confined to Area Zero of the Great Crater of Paldea - however one individual managed to escape Area Zero five years ago through unknown means and subsequently grew large through eating Herba Mystica plants. This Great Tusk was popularly referred to as the “Quaking Earth Titan” due to the heavy stomp noises it made when it walked.

The late student, council president Nemona Alegria, apparently attempted to catch the Quaking Earth Titan at 6:00 p.m. Sunday evening. However, when she sent out her Goodra to battle she apparently interrupted the Titan whilst it was attempting to court a female Donphan, and that enraged it.

Out of anger it elected to bypass the Goodra and attack Nemona directly, running up to her and knocking her down before badly trampling her. Nemona’s Rotom phone managed to summon paramedics, but she died of her injuries en route to the hospital.

Police are investigating the incident,

GRIEVING COUPLE TAKE OWN LIVES AFTER DEATH OF CHILD

Tragic news has emerged from the town of Cabo Poco in southern Paldea. Our reporters have been told that a grieving couple have leapt to their deaths after the death of their child.

Florian and Nemona Scarlet, 24 and 27 respectively, rode on a Cyclizar-like Pokémon to a cliff overlooking the ocean near the town on Thursday evening, carrying two rucksacks. One rucksack contained the body of their deceased daughter Vermillion Scarlet, who passed away from sudden infant death syndrome three months ago. The other rucksack contained several of her favourite toys and her security blanket.

Their bodies, and the rucksacks, were discovered at the foot of the cliff Friday morning and recovered in the afternoon. The Poké Ball that contained the Cyclizar-like Pokémon was found at the top of the cliff. 

Samantha Escalarta, chief of police for the southern province of Paldea, has issued a statement: "As a result of the investigation we have conducted, I am satisfied that Vermillion's grieving parents have taken their own lives. This is certainly a tragedy, and I extend my sympathies to the Scarlet family and their friends and caregivers".

A similar statement was given by family friend Arven Chronos-Pepper, who stated: "Florian and Nemona were loving parents who were utterly devoted in every sense of the word to their daughter, and I can only assume losing her was too much for them..."

Whilst police investigate further, postmortems will be carried out at the Great Hospital of Mesagoza.

PALDEA TEEN DIES AFTER BEING HIT BY SELF-DRIVING CAR

We have received word that the Klinklang Automobile Company have announced they will be suspending tests of self-driving cars in all Paldean cities after a teenage girl was hit and killed by one of these vehicles.

Self-driving cars have already been involved in multiple accidents - that is to be expected with such emergent technology - but it is believed that this accident represents the first time an accident involving a self-driving car has caused a fatality. According to the coroner's office, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria was crossing the street in Mesagoza when the car struck her at around 3:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon. The car was in autonomous mode with a human monitor at the wheel. Nemona was taken to a local hospital where she died.

Klinklang is one of several companies who have been testing self-driving cars on roads around a number of regions, which supporters hail as the future of the industry and a way to reduce traffic accidents. Currently, of the nine member regions of the United Regions, only Kalos, Galar and Paldea allow self-driving cars on public roads. Officials typically require a human monitor to be on hand if something goes wrong.

In a statement on social media, Klinklang has stated that "our hearts go out to the victim's family, and we are fully cooperating with Paldean police as they investigate the incident".

PALDEA WOMAN DIES AFTER RUPTURE OF ECTOPIC PREGNANCY

It has been reported that one of Paldea’s Champion-ranked trainers has passed away from complications caused by a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy complication where the embryo implants outside of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy most commonly implants in one of the two Fallopian tubes, but it can also implant in the ovaries, on the cervix, or within the abdomen. They appear to affect 2% of all pregnancies worldwide, or around 11-20 cases per 1,000 live births.

The deceased Champion, 25-year-old Nemona Scarlet, was around eight weeks’ gestation at the time of her death. Although she had been experiencing severe abdominal pain, a common symptom of ectopic pregnancy, when she visited the Great Hospital of Mesagoza  alongside her husband, 22-year-old Florian Scarlet, the doctors apparently dismissed her complications as “her body acting up” and prescribed her some painkillers.

However 24 hours later the pain returned, and in extreme intensity. Nemona was rushed back to the hospital, where an ultrasound detected the ectopic pregnancy. Nemona was rushed to emergency surgery, but she ended up dying from extreme blood loss on the operating table.

Florian has since stated his intent to sue the hospital for medical malpractice, but he is unwilling to disclose details.

PALDEA GIRL DIES THREE MOTNHS AFTER MASSIVE RADIATION DOSE

A teenage girl from Paldea has passed away three months after an accident at Nuclear Plant Omicron in the Tandor region, it has been reported.

17-year-old Nemona Alegria was at the power plant as part of the special “Broad Horizons” work experience program sponsored by her school, the prestigious Naranja Academy in Paldea. She was sent to the power plant as part of the program’s STEM track alongside her friend Penny Botan.

According to witnesses, the accident took place at around 3:00 p.m, when Nemona and Penny were helping a technician prepare reactor fuel for the “Mariecurie” reactor. From what reports are available, the desire of the technician’s superiors to accelerate the process led to numerous safety protocols being bypassed.

As a result, Nemona mistakenly poured 16 kilograms of dissolved enriched uranium into the reactor’s tank as opposed to the safe limit of 2.4 kilograms, triggering a criticality accident that dosed all three of them with radiation. Nemona received the highest dose, at seventeen sieverts, which was enough to severely damage her internal organs and completely destroy her immune system.

Nemona was rushed to the hospital and placed in a special radiation ward to limit the risk of infection. However her condition rapidly deteriorated, though doctors were asked by her family to restart her heart whenever it stopped (even when it became apparent the radiation damage to Nemona’s body was too great to be survivable). A variety of treatments, such as skin grafts, were attempted over the course of three months, but they all failed, and Nemona was declared dead at 6:00 a.m. last Tuesday.

Penny’s condition has also been deteriorating and doctors suspect she does not have much time left. The other technician is in stable condition.

Tandor police are investigating the accident.

KITAKAMI BATTLE ACCIDENT LEADS OT DEATH OF PALDEA TEEN

We have been told by the local authorities of Mossui Town in the land of Kitakami that the Grass-type Legendary Pokémon, Ogerpon, has been brought in for questioning after she was involved in a battling accident that led to the death of a Paldea teen.

Ogerpon is a Grass-type Legendary Pokémon who is said to have arrived in Kitakami some 100 years ago. She has been the subject of a notable legend throughout the land. Initially she was the antagonist of the story, but recent developments have changed her role to one of a protagonist. The truth was revealed by 14-year-old Juliana Violet, who caught Ogerpon a year ago.

According to eyewitnesses, the fatal accident that Ogerpon was involved in took place at 11:35 a.m. last Wednesday. Ogerpon was training alongside several of Juliana’s Pokémon, and was wielding a large cudgel wrapped in ivy - her typical weapon. Ogerpon apparently swung the cudgel at Juliana’s Quaquaval, only for the latter to dodge the attack, and somehow Ogerpon’s cudgel slipped out of her grasp, flew through the air and struck 18-year-old Nemona Alegria in the temple, knocking her out.

Juliana alerted paramedics and Nemona was taken to Mossui General Hospital, but after several attempts to wake her up failed she had to be pronounced dead. An autopsy has revealed the cudgel struck Nemona with sufficient force to rupture the middle meningeal artery in her brain, triggering a brain bleed that proved fatal.

Police are investigating the accident.

BASEBALL SPECTATOR KILLED BY FOUL BALL AT TINKATON STADIUM

At 2:00 p.m. Monday afternoon, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria sat down in the stands at the Tinkaton Stadium in North Mesagoza, Paldea, to enjoy the warm breeze and listen to the crack of the bat.

By Saturday, she was dead. We have received word that Nemona has succumbed to her injuries after she was struck by a foul ball.

The foul ball in question was pitched at 150 kilometres per hour by Artazon Meowscaradas pitcher Pocaea Gramineae, and a Tinkatons hitter turned on the pitch and sent it slicing through the air, right back into the stands. In a tragic turn of events the ball flew over the protective netting behind home plate and slammed into Nemona’s head, knocking her out. She was rushed to the hospital, but she passed away five days later from head trauma brought on by the shock of the impact

The Tinkaton have issued a press statement stating their “sadness at this incident” and that they are negotiating with the Alegria family over possible reparations.

PALDEA TEEN JAILED FOR 20 YEARS OVER FATAL ACID ATTACK

Xavier Gustuma, the 19-year-old perpetrator of a fatal acid attack in Paldea, has been handed a 20-year prison sentence by a Paldean court.

The crime took place one month ago in the city of Levincia. According to police reports, Xavier was strolling around town looking for a fight, and he came across 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, one of Paldea’s Champion-ranked trainers. The two soon got into an altercation that turned physical, but just as Nemona reached for a Poké Ball to send out one of her partners to defend herself with, Xavier threw a bottle of acid at her, and when the liquid splashed into Nemona’s face she screamed in pain and dashed into a nearby restaurant to splash her face with water.

Nemona was subsequently taken to the hospital with burns to her upper body, face, arms and lower legs. Three days after the attack she contacted septicaemia from the burns who developed into multiple organ failure, and she passed away the following day.

Xavier was initially charged with murder, but halfway through his trial he admitted an alternative charge of manslaughter, which was accepted by the jury.

The Paldean authorities have announced an clampdown on the sale of corrosive liquids in the wake of the attack.

HULBURY BRIDGE COLLAPSES AFTER BEING STRUCK BY CONTAINER SHIP

Reports have begun coming in from the port city of Hulbury in Galar, stating that the Wailord Suspension Bridge across the mouth of the Jhames River has collapsed after being struck by a container ship.

The ship in question is the Johto-registered MV Palafin, which was stopping in Hulbury whilst en route to the port of Samouth in the north of Galar. It had arrived in the port of Hulbury four days ago to pick up cargo. However at around 3:45 p.m. the crew abruptly issued a mayday call and informed the Galarian Department of Transport that they had lost control of the vessel, citing a loss of propulsion. Two minutes later the Palafin collided with one of the bridge's supports.

Within seconds the main span of the bridge collapsed, sending several vehicles plunging into the frigid water. Rescue boats were swiftly dispatched and managed to rescue around twelve people from the water, most of them with only minor and semi-major injuries. However one person has been confirmed dead - 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, a Paldean tourist, was pinned underneath the water by one of the beams from the bridge, and she had to be declared dead from drowning by the divers who found her.

Champion Gloria of Galar has been briefed on the accident, and she has stated the Galar League will pay for the cost of reconstructing the bridge. Authorities are investigating the accident.

PALDEA TRAINER FOUND DEAD INSIDE CRYOTHERAPY CHAMBER

The Glaceon Cryotherapy establishment in Stow-on-Side, Galar offers several types of cryotherapy treatments where patients step into a closed chamber, which is then cooled so the low temperatures can relieve inflammation and pain, as well as "deal with depression and anxiety". However, Glaceon is now being investigated after a trainer from Paldea was found dead inside one of the chambers last Tuesday.

From the information that has been gathered, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria was using one of the cryotherapy chambers to soothe her aching arm muscles after an intense battle when an employee mistakenly set the wrong value for the amount of cryotherapy gases to use - a misplaced decimal point meant that ten times the normal amount of gas was used, with the result that the oxygen was displaced from the chamber and Nemona was asphyxiated.

The error was not discovered until the chamber was opened 45 minutes later. Paramedics were summoned, but Nemona had to be declared dead at the hospital after several attempts to revive her failed.

Glaceon Cryotherapy has been closed temporarily whilst police investigate the incident.

LIGHTSHIP SUNK AFTER BEING RAMMED BY OCEAN LINER

We have received word that a lightship belonging to the Kanto Sea Guard Service has been rammed and sunk by an ocean liner just to the northeast of Cinnabar Island.

The lightship in question, LV-1104, was the first lightship that ocean liners would encounter whilst en route to the port of Vermillion City. At around 11:40 p.m. Tuesday night the Kalos-registered ocean liner Gigantic was homing in on LV-1104's radio beacon when the lookouts in the crow's nest spotted the lighship dead ahead. The captain (who is being kept anonymous at his request) swiftly ordered the rudder full to port and the engines full speed astern, but it was too late and the Gigantic rammed the smaller vessel, which broke apart and sank.

The Gigantic responded quickly by lowering lifeboats for the lightship's crew and was able to rescue its entire crew of eleven. Unfortunately, it has been confirmed two people have died in the collision - 22-year-old photographer Perrin Kodak was photographing the area of the lightship below deck as part of filing for a documentary, accompanied by 18-year-old Nemona Alegria, who was with her as part of a work experience program. It is believed the two were either killed by the force of the collision or drowned when the lightship sank. After confirming all this, Gigantic resumed course for Vermillion City at 12:05 p.m.

Green Star Line, the owners of Gigantic, have issued a statement of condolences regarding the incident, which police are investigating.

17-year-old Nemona Alegria was in a decompression chamber at the time of the accident, having narrowly escaped an earlier death when her air tanks failed at around 105 metres below sea level. She was waiting in a decompression chamber for the nitrogen bubbles in her body to dissolve back into her blood to avoid decompression sickness.

However, it appears a maintenance worker mistakenly released the pressure of the chamber too soon, and when the chamber went from seven atmospheres of pressure to one Nemona's body exploded - splattering gore all over the walls of the chamber.

The worker has since been arrested on one charge of involuntary manslaughter. He is set to face court next month.

SKY KYOGRE AIRSHIP DESTROYED

Yesterday afternoon, the Sky Kyogre, one of the largest and most luxurious airships afloat, was dramatically destroyed during an attempt to land at the Wedgehurst Air Station near Wedgehurst, Galar.

According to eyewitnesses, the Sky Kyogre arrived at the station at 2:33 p.m., around three hours late due to bad weather. It circled the station three times before coming in for the final landing and dropped its mooring lines for the ground crew. And then a massive fire broke out at the tail which rapidly consumed the whole ship as it crashed to the ground. It only took around 27 seconds for the ship to be destroyed.

The ship was carrying thirty students of Paldea's esteemed Naranja Academy, on an overseas field trip to Galar to learn more about the region's native Pokémon. It had been confirmed that fourteen of these students have perished, either in the fire or falling from the burning ship. The most notable casulty is Nemona Alegria, 17, the president of Naranja's student council.

Gloria Bell, the Champion of Galar, has sent her condolences to the families of the victims and ordered an investigation into the crash and of airship safety in general. Other airship companies have also suspended flights for the next four months.

POKÉMON CENTRE BLAST LEAVES ONE DEAD, DOZENS INJURED

An explosion at a Pokémon Centre in Paldea has killed a teenage girl and injured dozens more, authorities have said.

The Pokémon Centre in question is located three kilometres northeast of the Paldean capital Mesagoza. It also doubles as a refuelling station that provides liquefied petroleum gas, used as a diesel alternative in some vehicles. Due to this all Fire-type Pokémon are required to be kept within their balls within the centre at all times.

The blast took place at around 4:15 p.m. last Friday. 17-year-old Nemona Alegria had entered the Centre to heal up her team after an energetic battle with one of her rivals, and initially, everything went well. But then Nemona decided to stay for a few minutes to chat with Nurse Joy about how she was doing and Pokémon battling as a whole.

But then Nemona's Skeledirge was somehow released from its ball, perhaps as a result of Nemona accidentally pressing the ball's button,  and no one noticed over the general hubbub inside the centre. In what authorities are called "a failure of security" the Skeledirge somehow made its way to the basement where the gas was being stored, and when something spooked it it accidentally fired a fireball at one of the gas barrels, igniting it and triggering the blast.

The Paldean health minister has confirmed that Nemona was killed in the explosion, and dozens of Centre employees have been injured, mainly from burns. Police are investigating the incident.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"And so we were down to our last Pokémon each, and things were-"

KA-BOOM!

NARANJA STUDENT DEAD FROM SUICIDE AT 17 FOLLOWING BATTLE HUMILIATION

The school staff of the prestigious Naranja Academy have sorrowful news to announce - one of the academy’s top students has killed herself. Nemona Alegria was 17.

It is believed that Nemona’s tragedy was initially set in motion after Nemona suffered a major humiliation in a Pokémon battle around one month ago. This battle saw 13-year-old Kieran Greenblue, a student of Unova’s Blueberry Academy who was attending Naranja as an exchange student, defeat Nemona, a Champion-ranked trainer, using just a Magikarp in what the Paldea League called “an outcome that defies all expectations”.

News of the incident soon broke loose across the Naranja campus, and despite the best efforts of staff Nemona soon found herself the butt of Magikarp-themed jokes and taunts. According to her suicide note she tried her best to stay happy in the face of these taunts, “but they really began to add up after a while”.

From what police know, last Saturday at around 7:30 p.m. Nemona left her dorm room, leaving all of her possessions and Pokémon behind. She apparently made her way over to the Heath Chronos Bridge spanning the Sugat River, and jumped in. Her body was recovered from the river a few hours later, but paramedics were forced to pronounce her deceased from drowning.

Naranja Director Clavell Amigo has stated “my hearts bleeds at the loss of one of my best students”, and has given his condolences to the Alegria family.

PARADOX POKÉMON “GOUGING FIRE” SLAUGHTERS PALDEA TEEN

We have received word from the Paradox Pokémon Research Facility, located in Area Zero in the Great Crater of Paldea, that an incident at the facility has claimed the life of a female trainer.

At around 3:00 p.m. several of the facility’s technicians were tending to a Gouging Fire. This Fire/Dragon Pokémon is believed to be a prehistoric ancestor of Entei, based on genetic analysis and its overall body structure and behaviour. Accompanying the technicians was 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, a star student of Mesagoza’s Naranja Academy, who was working at the facility as part of a work experience program.

For unknown reasons something agitated the Gouging Fire to the point it superheated its fur and went on a rampage throughout the facility. It was eventually subdued, but not before it had wounded seven workers. We have also received confirmation that Nemona was killed during the rampage from burns sustained by its fire breath.

The facility has been closed whilst police investigate the incident.

NARANJA STUDENT DIES FROM AIR EMBOLISM AGE 17

We have been told by the prestigious Naranja Academy of Paldea that one of their top students has passed away following a sex-related accident.

The student in question, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, was found unresponsive in her dorm room at 10:00 a.m. yesterday, staff having come to check on her after she failed to show up for classes. She was found naked, a peeled carrot on the ground near her.

Nemona was swiftly taken to the hospital but had to be pronounced deceased upon arrival. According to information gathered from the autopsy, what happened is that while using the carrot to masturbate a rough cut sliced her vaginal wall, allowing an air embolism to enter her bloodstream and travel to her heart, blocking blood flow and causing shock and cardiac arrest.

Police are investigating the accident.

After defeating all of Whitney’s trainers Nemona moved to challenge Whitney herself.

Nemona was quickly able to defeat Whitney’s Wigglytuff, forcing the Gym Leader to resort to her signature Miltank. About ten minutes into the battle Whitney orders the Miltank to use Roll Out on Nemona’s Dudunsparce, but for whatever reason Miltank missed the attack and instead accidentally loosed into a Nemona at full speed, knocking the girl to the ground and inflicting several serious injuries including a fractured skull.

The match was suspended and Whitney summoned paramedics, but Nemona had to be declared dead upon arriving at the hospital. Whitney was arrested fifteen minutes later. Her Miltank has been seized and was been transferred to the custody of her uncle Milton. Her trial is scheduled to take place next month.

At around 11:40 a.m. yesterday morning, Nemona Alegria, 17, was flying on a Corviknight to visit her elderly mother in the southern Paldean town of Cabo Poco when she happened to cross paths with Hitmonair flight 227, a regularly scheduled passenger flight that was travelling from Olivine International Airport in Johto to Cascarrafa Airport in Paldea.

For reasons authorities are still unsure of, Nemona somehow strayed into the path of the Crowing 454-100 airplane servicing the flight, and she accidentally flew too close to the plane and was sucked directly into #2 engine on the plane’s left wing. She was killed instantly, and the damage caused the engine to flame out. The plane was able to perform an emergency landing at Mesagoza international Airport with no injuries or casualties reported.

PALDEAN TOURIST KILLED AFTER FOLDING BED COLLAPSED

An inquest into a recent incident in Unova has concluded its findings about the recent death of a Paldean tourist.

According to the findings from investigators, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, who was holidaying at the Desert Resort in Unova at the time of the incident, became trapped in a folding bed in late July after the unit collapsed on her. It was determined the unit was not installed properly, causing it to collapse on her as she slept.

When the cleaner tried to gain entry to the room the next morning he could not open the door (since it was locked), he assumed Nemona did not want to be disturbed and continued on his way. But when he tried to again access the room again four days later and it was still locked, he summoned a maintenance technician to gain access - and here Nemona was discovered in the bed. She was freed but had to be declared dead from suffocation at the scene.

A Unovan court has cleared the Desert Resort of wrongdoing, much to the outrage of the Alegria family, but has said there is nothing stopping the family from pursuing a lawsuit for civil liability.

PALDEA TEEN DIED AFTER ALLERGIC REACTION TO CHEESE

An unprecedented death has been reported from the great Naranja Academy in Paldea. A teenage student of the academy has died after suffering an allergic reaction to cheese.

According to the coroner's report an altercation broke out in the cafeteria between two students at around noon, and when 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, who was allergic to wheat and all dairy products, went to break it up one of the students threw a cheese sandwich that struck her in the face.

Within seconds Nemona began suffering an allergic reaction that soon developed into anaphylactic shock. She was raced to ther hospital in life-threatening condition, but she was in cariac arrest when she arrived. She died two weeks later of post-cardiac arrest syndrome.

The coroner has been told that Nemona's EpiPen was eleven months out of date at the time and was the only adrenaline administered before Nemona went into cardiac arrest. In addition, it was not adminsitered for several minutes even as Nemona was displaying symptoms such as scratching.

One of the school's paramedics, who is being kept anonymous at their request, said they probably "panicked" and though Nemona was suffering an asthma attack, adminstering two doses of magnesium sulfate - a relaxing agent that is not meant for under-18s. The guidebook given to ambulance staff has since been updated to make this advice explicit.

The coroner is expected to release his report on Tuesday.

PALDEA TEEN VISITING DISTORTION WORLD KILLED ON LIVESTREAM

Paldean authorities have reported that a teenage trainer from that region was recently killed by the Legendary Pokémon Giratina whilst live-streaming a visit to the Distortion World.

The Distortion World is the parallel dimension where Giratina resides. Very few trainers are known to have entered it, and it is currently unknown how 17-year-old Nemona Alegria managed to gain access to it. At the time of the incident she was live-streaming her visit on the popular social media network WaceBook.

Footage of the livestream shows Nemona encountering the legendary Pokémon Giratina and battling it in a bid to capture it, but about halfway through the battle Giratina used a powerful Dragon Claw attack on Nemona’s Goodra, but the Goodra evaded the attack and it hit Nemona herself instead, bisecting her at the torso. The livestream continued for a few more minutes before WaceBook moderation terminated it.

Giratina eventually used its powers to send both halves of Nemona’s body back to the real world where they was discovered by local trainers, but she had to be pronounced dead at the scene from shock and blood loss.

Police are investigating the unusual nature of the encounter, the death and now Nemona managed to get to the Distortion World in the first place.

PALDEAN TOURIST KILLED BY MEGA VICTREEBEL

The recently-discovered Mega Evolution of the Flycatcher Pokémon, Victreebel, was responsible for its first human casualty Tuesday afternoon. The victim is 20-year-old Nemona Alegria, a Paldean tourist visiting the recently redeveloped Lumiose City in Kalos.

When Mega Evolved using the Mega Stone Victreebelite, its body grows three times its original size and eight times its weight, and it produces much more acid than a standard Victreebel, to the point it has to hold its own throat shut to stop it leaking - and when the Victreebel concentrates the acid in its body it can become powerful enough to melt concrete and even steel.

The incident that led to Nemona's death occurred at 8:00 p.m.. Footage recovered from Nemona's Rotom phone shows that she had entered an abandoned mansion in the Lumiose suburbs after hearing rumours of an unusual Pokémon living in the property. After exploring several of the rooms she was in a hallway on the second floor when an unusual sound reached her ears - and when she went to investigate the Mega Victreebel burst through one of the walls, startling her, before vomiting its acid all over her.

Her Rotom Phone managed to escape and call emergency services, who arrived at 8:25 p.m. and subdued the Victreebel, but after first responders examined Nemona's partially dissolved body she had to be pronounced dead at the scene. Kalos Champion Serena Yvonne has been informed of these circumstances and is working to repatriate Nemona's body to Paldea for a funeral.

The Victreebel has since been captured and is planned to be transferred to the custody of the Lumiose City Pokémon Centre.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"WOAH! Oh my Arceus, is that a Mega Victree-"

(The Victreebel's acid gets on her)

"AAAAAAAAAA-"

(The Victreebel's acid dissolves her vocal cords, silencing her)

PALDEAN TRAINER "HUGGED TO DEATH"

Ahh... who doesn't love a good hug? The warmth of your partner's embrace, the feeling of their body against your own, the gentle stillness of it all... hugs are the best.

Well... assuming you don't ask Nemona Alegria of Paldea. The coroner's office of Mesagoza has reported that Nemona attempted to embrace one of her Pokémon and ended up paying the ultimate price for it.

The Pokémon in question was a Dragonite that Nemona had caught three weeks prior to the incident. She had also obtained a Dragoniteite, the Mega Stone that allows Dragonite to Mega Evolve. At around 10:00 a.m. Saturday morning Nemona and the Dragonite were battling another trainer. After knocking out two of the other trainer's Pokémon, she used the stone to Mega Evolve Dragonite, and it easily trounced the other trainer's remaining team.

After the other trainer congratulated Nemona on her victory, Nemona offered her Dragonite a hug, and it eagerly accepted. However that's where things turned sour - when the Dragonite swept Nemona into the hug the other trainer heard a cracking sound and Nemona let out a cry of pain before she seemingly passed out. As the Dragonite released her the other trainer called 112 and Nemona was rushed to the hospital, but several minutes after arrival she had to be pronounced dead by paramedics.

An autopsy has revealed what happened - the Dragonite apparently hugged Nemona so tightly it crushed some of her internal organs and broke her spine in several places, creating sharp bone shards that pierced her aorta in several places, causing fatal bleeding.

The Dragonite has been taken into the custody of Paldean police whilst its fate is determined.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Awesome job, Dragonite! How about a hug?"

(The Dragonite hugs her a bit too tightly)

(CRACK!) "AAAGH!"

MEGA HAWLUCHA CLAIMS FIRST HUMAN CASUALTY

The recently-discovered Mega Evolution of the Fighting/Flying-type Pokémon Hawlucha has just been confirmed to have unintentionally claimed its first human casualty following a battle accident last month.

The accident involved a Paldean tourist, 19-year-old Nemona Alegria, who was visiting Lumiose City in Kalos on vacation. She apparently was spectating a battle between two trainers, one using a Machamp and the other a Hawlucha, because she wanted to battle them later.

About three minutes into the battle the Hawlucha’s trainer Mega Evolved it using the Hawluchite, and this allowed the Hawlucha to gain the upper hand. After dealing several good Flying-type attacks onto a Machamp the Hawlucha leapt into the air use its signature move, Flying Press, as the finisher.

But then things went horribly wrong - for reasons authorities are still unsure of, the Hawlucha somehow mistook Nemona for the Machamp and used the attack on the wrong target, knocking Nemona to the ground and inflicting several skull fractures and major brain injuries. The two trainers called off the battle and summoned an ambulance, but Nemona died en route to the hospital.

The Hawlucha’s trainer has since been arrested on one count on involuntary manslaughter. They are current awaiting trial.

PALDEA TRAINER KILLED AFTER MIRROR REFLECTS ATTACK

The Sinnoh police force have reported that tragedy has struck after an accident during a battle between Champion Cynthia and a trainer from Paldea led to the latter's death. The victim is 19-year-old Nemona Alegria, a trainer from Paldea who was facing Champion Cynthia after having defeated Sinnoh's Gym Leaders and Elite Four for the right to challenge her.

The accident took place at around noon on Friday. The battle between Nemona and Cynthia had been going fairly evenly, and both sides were down to their last Pokémon - Skeledirge and Garchomp, respectively. According to Cynthia herself, she offered her Garchomp to use Poison Jab on Skeledirge, but Skelegedirge managed to evade the attack - which ricocheted off a mirror lying up against the back wall of the Champion's battle room and struck Nemona in the back, knocking her to the floor.

Cynthia swiftly called off the battle and called for medical help, but the Garchomp's poison quickly spread through Nemona's body and caused her organs to begin shutting down. By the time Nemona arrived at the hospital fifteen minutes later she had to be pronounced dead by doctors.

According to Cynthia, she had been keeping the mirror in the Champion battle room because she had been planning to install it in her bathroom and could not think of another suitable place to store it in the interim.

The police have brought her in for questioning but have not issued any charges yet.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Awesome, Skeledirge! Now Torch So-"

(The errant Poison Jab hits her)

"ACK!"

PALDEA TRAINER KILLED IN FREAK PIANO ACCIDENT

We have received word that an unfortunate Pokémon Trainer from Paldea has lost her life after being involved in what authorities are describing as "a freak piano accident" Wednesday morning.

At 10:45 a.m., 17-year-old Nemona Alegria was travelling through the Plaza Major street in central Mesagoza in order to heal her team at a local Pokémon Centre as she had a major battle coming up. At the same time one of the street's affluent high-rise homeowners had recently purchased a grand piano and had hired a crane to raise it up to their balcony.

PALDEA GIRL'S ALOLA VACATION ENDS IN TRAGEDY

On Monday morning, having recently graduated from Paldea's prestigious Naranja Academy, 18-year-old Nemona Alegria flew to the Alola region with her family for a well-deserved vacation as a reward for her achievement. However, the Alegria family have informed the world via social media, with heavy hearts, that their daughter will not be returning alive after she was killed in an incident in the Lush Jungle of Akala Island on Wednesday afternoon.

According to footage recovered from Nemona's Rotom Phone, she was exploring the Lush Jungle at 2:15 p.m. when she saw a wormhole appear in the sky, and out it fell a Buzzwole. This Pokémon, #794 in the National Dex, is a large mosquito-like Pokémon that belongs to the class of extradimensional Pokémon known as "Ultra Beasts". It is a resident of a dimension known as "Ultra Jungle" and has the ability to absorb the life energy of other Pokémon using a needle-like proboscis.

Nemona ran over to where the Buzzwole landed, hoping to catch it, and engaged it in combat. For the first few minutes the battle went well, but then it wasn't - after the Buzzwole knocked out Nemona's Lycanroc, it charged directly at Nemona, grabbed her, plunged its proboscis into her chest and proceeded to suck her dry. The footage shows Nemona screaming for a few seconds before her skin turns pale and her body limp.

The Buzzwole then dropped her to the ground and left. Around two hours later Nemona's body was discovered by her parents, who were looking for her after she failed to meet up with them at the scheduled time. They summoned paramedics, but Nemona had to be pronounced dead at the scene.

Champion Elio Sun of Alola has extended his condolences to the Alegria family and has organised for Nemona's body to be repatriated to Paldea for a funeral.

The Buzzwole that killed Nemona has since been captured and returned to its native dimension, despite calls for it to be destroyed.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Lycanroc, no! Alright, Goo-"

(The Buzzwole grabs her and jabs its proboscis into her)

"Woa-AAAAAAAAAaaaaa_aaaa..."

(As her energy is drained her screaming fades away until it eventually stops)

PALDEA GIRL BEATEN TO DEATH WITH GUITAR

It has been reported that a Paldean girl has been killed after being beaten with a guitar. Xavier Gustuma, 19, confessed to the manslaughter of 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, who died at the scene.

The attack took place at around 1:15 p.m. in the central district of the Paldean capital Mesagoza, at the base of the steps leading to the famed Naranja Academy.

PALDEA TRAINER KILLED BY CERULEDGE

The world-esteemed Naranja Academy in Paldea has tragic news to announce. An incident involving a Ceruledge has claimed the life of 17-year-old student Nemona Alegria, president of the school's student council and one of the strongest trainers of the region.

Ceruledge, #937 in the National Pokédex, is a Fire/Ghost-type Pokémon native to Paldea. It is one of two evolutions of Charcadet, triggered by exposing Charcadet to a set of Malicious Armor. Due to the requirement of such a specific item Ceruledge is very rare in the wild, and it is suspected that the Ceruledge involved in the incident was released from a Trainer's possession.

According to footage recovered from Nemona's Rotom phone, the incident happened at 5:00 a.m. Thursday morning. Nemona was in the Eastern Province near the city of Zapapico when she stumbled upon the Ceruledge. Wanting to catch it she sent out a Lycanroc to battle.

After a few minutes the Ceruledge leapt into the air to evade an attack, but then the battle took a horrific turn - it landed square on its feet in front of Nemona, and used the blade on its arm to slash Nemona's abdomen, disembowelling her. As Nemona collapsed the Ceruledge fell onto her and began hacking her to pieces.

The commotion was witnessed by a nearby trainer, who had their own team beat away the Ceruledge before calling 112. However when the paramedics arrived they were forced to pronounce Nemona dead at the scene.

The Ceruledge was later determined to be suffering from the prion disease Abrupt Aggression Syndrome (AAS). It has since been destroyed.

PALDEA TEEN KILLED BY "CAMERA-SHY" BIDOOF

The UNN has received word that a teenage girl from Paldea has died following an unusual incident involving a Bidoof.

According to footage extracted from the girl's Rotom Phone, 18-year-old Nemona Alegria happened upon the Bidoof at the Kalos region's Route 3 whilst on vacation there. She apparently decided to take a selfie with it, and she grabbed the Bidoof and held it close to her whilst searching for the perfect angle.

However the Normal-type proved to be quite camera-shy and in its agitation it suddenly bit Nemona's leg deep enough to sever one of her femoral arteries. The ensuing massive bleeding caused Nemona to pass out within minutes. Her body was discovered by a trainer passing along the route five hours later, who summoned paramedics. However when said paramedics arrived at the scene they were forced to declare Nemona deceased.

Kalos Champion Serena Yvonne has issued condolences to the Alegria fmaily and the body had been repatriated to Paldea for a funeral.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Alright Bidoof, say chee-"

CHOMP!

"-AAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

(Nemona screams for a few minutes before she passes out)

LEVINCIA GENERAL HOSPITAL SUED FOLLOWING DEATH OF TEEN, 17

The family of 17-year-old Nemona Alegria have announced that they are suing Levincia General Hospital after the girl passed away from what the family calls negligence of the hospital's part earlier this week.

Nemona had been admitted to the hospital three weeks ago with kidney failure after a battle accident led to Nemona getting hit with a surge of Terastal energy in the abdomen. After her first dialysis session in the afternoon she complained of a stomachache, so she was prescribed an antacid.

However, according to the lawsuit a nurse mistakenly gave Nemona the muscle relaxant drug pancuronium, which is used for intubation in smaller does and the euthanasia of certain sickly Pokémon in higher doses. The packaging for the two drugs looked similar, which was apparently the cause of the mix-up.

The pancuronium ended up putting Nemona in respiratory arrest. Although doctors were able to resuscitate her, the interruption of oxygen to her brain caused damage that left the teenager brain dead, and she remained in a coma until she passed away Monday morning.

The hospital has stated that the nurse invovled has been retrained and moved to the different floor and pancuronium has been removed from all nurse's stations.

The case is expected to go to court next month.

PALDEA TOURIST KILLED IN Z-A ROYALE ACCIDENT

Our Lumiose City office has received word that a Paldean tourist has died following a battle accident that occurred during the nightly Z-A Royale.

The Z-A Royale is a special battle event held every night in Lumiose City. Unlike battles in other tournaments, the battles in the Z-A Royale, which take place in specially designated "battle zones", are not agreed on by the Trainers involved but can be initiated via surprise attack by one of the Pokémon involved.

At around 11:00 p.m. Thursday night, Nemona Alegria, 19, was travelling through one of the battle zones when another trainer had his Talonflame attempt to use Flamethrower on one of her Pokémon as a surprise attack, but due to confusion from a previous battle the attack missed and hit Nemona herself instead.

The fiery attack immediately set Nemona ablaze. The other trainer hastily put her out and summoned paramedics, but Nemona suffered third-degree burns to 90% of her body, and she had to be declared dead on arrival at the hospital.

Due to the fact the incident took place during the Z-A Royale and there was no evidence of foul play, the police have ruled the death a tragic accident and no charges are expected to be filed.

GIRL, 17, KILLED BY ROGUE MEGA EVOLVED POKÉMON

If you've been following the news in Kalos lately, you may know that over the past six months a series of incidents have been occurring in Lumiose City where Pokémon abruptly and randomly Mega Evolve and go on a rampage, causing major destruction. This phenomenon, dubbed "Rogue Mega Evolution", has just been confirmed to have claimed its first human casualty.

The victim is Paldean tourist Nemona Alegria, 18, who was visiting Lumiose City as part of a vacation her parents sent her on as a reward for her recent high school graduation. According to eyewitnesses, at around noon Nemona was visiting one of the city's newly implemented Wild Zones when a Chesnaught suddenly Rogue Mega Evolved and went berserk, forcing Nemona to battle it.

The battle itself went well, but just as Nemona's Goodra was about to land the finishing blow the Chesnaught swung its massive axe at Nemona with sufficient force to knock her to the ground and crush her skull. Although the Chesnaught was defeated soon afterwards, when paramedics arrived they were forced to pronounce Nemona deceased.

Kalos champion Serena Yvonne has issued a statement of condolences to the Alegria family and Nemona's body has been repatriated to Paldea for burial.

The Chesnaught that killed her has since been destroyed.

PALDEA TEEN KILLED IN PARKOUR ACCIDENT

It has been reported by authorities in Mesagoza, Paldea that an incident involving a group of teenagers parkouring has ended in a fatality.

The victim of the accident, 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, had taken up parkour as a hobby three months ago and had reportedly been getting into it, according to her friend Scarlet Koito*. The incident itself occurred at around 4:00 p.m. Friday afternoon.

According to eyewitness reports, Scarlet had challenged Nemona to a race to the rooftop of Naranja Academy, the school where both were students, and she accepted with a Pokémon battle as a wager.

(From a diary entry seized during the police investigation)

“So today something different happened. Apparently I was walking in front of the old music shop when this portal thing opened, and out of it stepped a girl with black hair and a white uniform.

She looked around for a bit and soon encountered that gang of boys. She challenged them to something called a ‘Pokaymon battle’… I don’t know what that is. Apparently that  sparked an argument between the girl and the boys.

And then the boy in the orange hoodie… I think his name was Ken? He shoved the girl she fell to the pavement and cracked her head. I heard she died at the scene.

So… that happened.”

PALDEA GIRL CRUSHED BY FALLING CHEESE WHEELS

An inexplicable tragedy has taken place at a cheese factory in eastern Paldea that has led to the death of a teenage girl visiting said factory.

At around 7:00 a.m. Saturday morning the factory was visited by 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, who intended to purchase one of its massive cheese wheels as a birthday present for a classmate who was fond of dairy products.

However ten minutes after her arrival disaster struck - as Nemona was inspecting one of the shelves that held the cheese wheels, the shelf in question suddenly collapsed and hundred of cheese wheels, weighing around 20 kilograms each, fell on top of Nemona, burying her.

The factory owner, Begouda*, called firefighters and paramedics to the scene who arrived in minutes and began moving the wheels out of the way to extract Nemona from them, but she had to be declared dead at the scene.

A police investigation is currently underway as to who the shelf collapsed.

MEGA EXCADRILL ACCIDENT KILLS PALDEA GIRL

We have received word from Lumiose authorities that the recently-discovered Mega Evolution of Excadrill has just unintentionally claimed its first human life following an accident in the Vert District.

The accident took place at 11:15 a.m. Monday morning. According to investigators the trouble began when a Pokémon Trainer (who is being kept anonymous at their request) noticed several rocks blocking an alleyway and sent out his Excadrill to clear the obstruction. He used the Excadrite Mega Stone to Mega Evolve Excadrill in order to give it the necessary boost to ensure the rocks were destroyed.

However the Trainer hadn’t looked behind the rocks - if he had he would have notice that a Paldean tourist, 19-year-old Nemona Alegria, was hiding behind the rocks. She was apparently attempting to coax a wild Pokémon into getting closer so she could catch it. As a result, when Excadrill’s drill plowed through the rocks the Pokémon ended up unintentionally impaling Nemona on its drill through the chest, severing her inferior vena cava in the process.

When the Trainer realised what happened they recalled the Excadrill and summoned paramedics, but Nemona had to be declared dead at the scene from shock and blood loss.

The other trainer has been arrested and charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter. They are expected to be trialled next month.

NEMONA’S LAST WORDS:

(Whispering) “Come here, little Weed-“

(The Excadrill’s drills impale her)

”ACK!”

(Nemona passes out from shock and blood loss)

PALDEA CHAMPION KILLED IN RANDOM MURDER ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT

We have received word from Paldean authorities that this year’s Halloween celebrations have turned tragic after one of the region’s Champion-ranked Trainers was murdered.

According to police it is believed the murder took place at around 6:00 p.m. on Halloween night. 17-year-old Nemona Alegria, who had already handed out candy to several groups of trick-or-treaters, opened the door to a youth of around 14 (their name is being withheld for privacy reasons).

The youth was arrested three hours later and is currently awaiting trial. No further details on the murder have been revealed as of now.

WOMAN CHOKES TO DEATH IN MARSHMALLOW EATING CONTEST

An inquest has heard that a 17-year-old girl has died after taking part in a marshmallow-eating competition.

NARANJA STUDENT FOUND DEAD IN DORM ROOM

Paldean authorities have reported that a top student of the prestigious Naranja Academy has been found dead in her dorm room in circumstances deemed “unusual”.

The problems began two months ago when it was announced that Champion May Maple of Hoenn was visiting the Paldea region, and one lucky student of Naranja would be selected to take her on in an exhibition match. 17-year-old Nemona Alegria jumped at the possibility, and subsequently began studying Pokémon battling very intensely - she was known as an avid fan of Pokémon battling - but this level of enthusiasm was unprecedented even for her.

For the next few months Nemona secreted herself in her dorm room and devoted every bit of spare time researching which Pokémon, moves, items, abilities and other such things to use for her match, attending her classes remotely. However three days ago she abruptly stopped responding to texts checking on her, and when worried faculty forced entry into the room yesterday morning, they found Nemona slumped onto her desk, dead. Her body was extremely frail and thin for someone of her age.

What authorities believe happened is that Nemona got so wrapped in studying for her potential match that she didn’t think to eat anything, and subsequently wasted away and starved to death.

Authorities are investigating the death.

LUMIOSE CITY RECONSTRUCTION WORK CONTINUES, PALDEAN CASUALTY IDENTIFIED

It has been two days since what has been dubbed “The Ange Incident”, where former Kalos king AZ’s Floette merged with the Prism Tower to rein in the Ange device that was causing the Rogue Mega Evolution crisis, only for it to lose control and go berserk, threatening to destroy the city. Thankfully the heroic efforts of four trainers known as Team MZ and the Legendary Pokémon Zygarde quelled it and saved the city.

However much destruction was left in its wake, and reconstruction efforts continue. It has been announced by authorities that a body discovered in the rubble of the Prism Tower has been identified as a Paldean tourist, 19-year-old Nemona Alegria. The girl, a graduate of Paldea’s prestigious Naranja Academy, was visiting Lumiose City to challenge the nightly Z-A Royale when the incident happened. When Prism Tower crumbled she was apparently crushed under a pile of rubble.

Several hours after the incident Team MZ were able to collectively extract Nemona’s body from the rubble, but the girl had to be pronounced dead at the scene from massive bodily trauma. Her body has been repatriated to Paldea for burial. Team MZ declined to comment the matter when asked by reporters.

INCIDENT AT ABANDONED UNOVA HOUSE LEADS TO DEATH OF URBAN EXPLORER

The urban explorer group Secrets of the City have announced via social media they will be temporarily suspending their exploration streams after an incident in an abandoned house led to the death of a guest star.

According to the police report on the matter, the incident occurred on Friday last week at approximately 2:00 p.m. at an abandoned house in Nimbasa City, Unova. Secrets of the City had been wanting to investigate the house as they heard rumours a Shiny Haunter was inhabiting it. They had with them a guest star - a Paldean tourist by the name of Nemona Alegria, 17.

The stream began with Secrets of the City entering the house and investigating all of the rooms on the first floor. After the search turned up empty Secrets of the City leader Julius Politan suggested that they check the upper floors, and Nemona volunteered to go first. But just as she ascended the stairs they heard a twang noise, and then suddenly a crutch swung from the ceiling with a large combat knife duct-taped to it, and the knife drove itself into Nemona's neck, severing one of her carotid arteries.

Immediately Julius summoned paramedics, who arrived at the scene in five minutes, but by then Nemona had fallen unconscious from loss of blood. She had to be pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.

Police are investigating the incident - it is believed the crutch and knife were a booby trap set up by the house's previous owner.

NEMONA'S LAST WORDS:

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Haunter-"

(Twang, followed by a squelch as the knife is plunged into Nemona’s neck)

"ACK!"

Tragic news has come out of Lumiose City Regional Hospital - it has been announced that a Paldean tourist, 18-year-old Nemona Alegria, passed away from cancer yesterday morning.

Nemona had been admitted to the hospital one week ago following an incident where she was struck by the attack of an opposing Trainer's Mega Dragalge in battle. When this Poison/Dragon-type Pokémon Mega Evolves using the Dragalgite stone, it gains the ability to spit a liquid that can send the regenerative abilities of cells into overdrive, causing cancer. 24 hours after the incident multiple small tumours were detected at various points throughout Nemona's body, and she was hurridly put on aggresive chemotherapy to kill them.

However the cancer soon spread out of control and at around 10:00 a.m. yesterday morning Nemona's organs began to fail and she was declared dead thirty minutes later. Her body has been flown back to Paldea to prepare for a funeral.

The other trainer has agreed to surrender the Dragalge and it is to be released into the wild.
