Pokémon: Legend of the Rockies

After explaining the rules and procedures, everyone was led to a larger courtyard, where there were eight iron cages covered with cloth, from right to left, from small to large.

"The first level is to recognize monsters. There is a monster in each cage in front of you. Please follow the order, one by one, observe the monsters in the cage one foot away from the cage, and record the specific information of each monster. The time limit for each person is 10 minutes."

As he spoke, several eunuchs held a large stack of paper and ink and waited quietly aside. Seeing this kind of competition process, several ragged demon catchers refused to accept it on the spot!

It's not that they don't know demons, but that they can't write, and the rules cannot be dictated, and no one is willing to write for them on site. According to the rules, they will be eliminated, so they refuse to accept it and make trouble.

But where is this place?
This is the palace!

Before they could do anything, several heavily armed soldiers pointed their spears at the people who were about to make trouble.

They were eventually disqualified from the competition, the reason was not to hand in a blank paper, but to disturb the order of the examination room.

During the exam, 8 people will enter at a time, each corresponding to a cage, and the others will wait outside the courtyard, and soon it will be their turn to talk to Chu Siyi.

According to the regulations, both Li Yan and Chu Siyi were monster catchers, so they couldn't form a team. Li Yan was alone as a pair, while Xueying Doll and Chu Siyi were in a team.

Li Yan sat on the seat, holding a writing brush, and Tai Chi who was on standby lifted the curtain to reveal the monster inside, Li Yan was slightly taken aback, it was the Abo monster.

Looking down at the paper, there are a few simple questions written on it:

Monster name, monster type, monster behavior, monster ability, etc.

As long as you answer the first four questions correctly, you will be considered a pass. If you know more, write it in other sections, and you will get extra points for it. Of course, you will lose points if you make mistakes.

Li Yan just glanced at it, raised the brush, and began to write on the answer sheet:
Monster name: Abbe monster.

(As an added note here, for the convenience of memory, the name of the Pokémon will not be changed. In actual settings, the names of ancient Pokémon are different from those of modern times.)
Monster type: Snake monster

Habits of monsters: They often appear in dark and damp streams, or dense forests, swamps and other areas.

Monster ability: It will bind the opponent with a strong body, and the fangs in the mouth are large and long, which can secrete highly poisonous substances, and can also compress the venom and spray it out of the mouth.

Others: The pattern on the belly looks like a scary face, which can intimidate weaker enemies.

He has a very stubborn personality, and once he locks on the target, he will pursue it until the target dies.

Territorial awareness and self-protection awareness are very strong. Usually, they will not go out of their own territory. Before attacking their prey, they will spread the pattern on their chest to test their prey. If the prey is not afraid, they will generally not attack their prey.

Its venom also has an effect on itself, so it only needs to attack its mouth to break its skin, and then he can be poisoned by himself...

There are still a lot of Abo monster's habits that Li Yan didn't write. The entire answer sheet has been filled, so Li Yan has no choice but to hand in the paper.

The examiners who collected the papers were stunned. It was the first time he saw someone who could answer the papers within 3 minutes, and wrote in such detail.

Several examiners immediately started checking, and found that what Li Yan had written was almost correct, and some even exceeded what they recorded, so it was impossible to verify whether it was correct.

In the end, everyone negotiated and decided to make an exception and give Li Yan a full score. You must know that there is no such thing as a full score in liberal arts exams, because it is difficult for the correctors to unify their thoughts and each have their own opinions. But in front of Li Yan's test paper, everyone achieved an astonishing unanimity!
Time passed quickly, and Li Yan and his party passed six of the eight people. To Li Yan's surprise, Chu Siyi did not pass.

The object she observed was a Fire Eevee, which was not a rare Pokémon for her as a modern person, but Chu Siyi wrote the answer in vernacular, which the examiner couldn't understand, so she was eliminated.

Li Yan was also very speechless, and forgot to teach her to write ancient traditional characters.

After more than an hour, everyone participated in the first round of the competition. About half of those who passed were passed. Those who were eliminated were expelled from the palace, but their relatives could stay then, but they were not allowed to participate in the subsequent exams.

Everyone came to another compound to participate in the next assessment to identify demons.

There are three cages in this yard, and three Pokémon are locked up. The first cage only shows a part of the Pokémon's body, the second cage only shows the Pokémon's voice, and the rarest one is the third cage, which only shows the Pokémon's shadow.

All candidates must guess what the Pokémon in each cage is within the specified time, and they must guess three correctly to pass.

The test format is the same as the previous level, except that this time, one person enters the test alone, and after each test, the Pokémon in the cage will be replaced by another one to ensure that it will not be repeated.

The crowd went in one by one, and the roar of Pokémon came from the yard from time to time, and the sound was not a little guy.

Soon they arrived at Li Yan, walked in the door, several examiners stared at Li Yan seriously, this is the genius examinee with full marks in the last round!

Everyone's whispering made Li Yan a little embarrassed, and with the examiner's voice, Li Yan also pulled back.

First of all, in the first cage, an eunuch lifted a corner of the curtain, revealing the tail of a Pokémon, the whole body is purple, with obvious sections, and it is very thick. Li Yan thought for two seconds, and blurted out:

"King Nido!"

The examiners behind Li Yan nodded in admiration. As expected of the candidates with full marks, they answered quickly and accurately!

Then in the second cage, there was a wooden board in front of it, blocking the Pokémon behind it, and then a eunuch poked the Pokémon with a spear, and it immediately let out a roar!
Li Yan frowned, as usual, the eunuch wanted to poke him a second time, Li Yan hurriedly stopped the eunuch:
"No need, I already guessed it, it's the circle bear!"

Everyone was shocked again, Li Yan was the first person who came out after only hearing a sound!
Then came the third cage.

In front of the cage is a huge curtain, and behind it is the Pokémon in the cage. A fire is lit behind the Pokémon, and the firelight prints the outline of the Pokémon on the curtain.

Li Yan frowned, the shadow was very blurry, and there was the shadow of the iron cage interfering, and it was daytime, to be honest Li Yan couldn't guess what kind of Pokémon it was, so he had no choice but to use the system, and then he was slightly taken aback.

"It's Pixie!"

The eyes of the examiners lit up. Li Yan was the first one to guess the Pokémon in the last cage so far. Everyone gave Li Yan full marks without hesitation.

Li Yan was thinking, isn't Picosi a Pokémon that was only discovered in recent years?

Why did it exist in the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago?
