Pokémon Awakening Master

Coincidentally, Lin Tao and the others met Lu Lili's trainer from the previous Newcomer Challenge, Zhou Guiling. Now it seems that this little girl with an average temper actually signed up for the training major, and this time she had a good relationship with Wang Muye. After talking for a long time, he finally gave up.

After waiting in line for a long time, the written test for the placement test was scheduled from 02 to 30:[-] in the afternoon, while the additional Pokémon battle test for the combat major started on time at [-] o'clock in the outdoor battle field next to the playground.

But this time, something that was somewhat beyond Lin Tao's expectation was that the battle test was not a battle between students, but a Pokémon challenge to a teacher who was a professional battler.

Due to time constraints, except for those who live nearby, most students will not choose to go home for lunch at noon, and the school canteen is not open, so some restaurants in front of the school once again ushered in one of the peak periods of business every year. .

Lin Tao, Wang Muye, Ma Ling and Cheng Pu decided to have a meal together.

"Ma Ling, are there many people signing up to study majors?" Lin Tao asked.

"I should have seen them all this morning," Ma Ling shrugged. "There are only about a hundred people in total, and I asked the teacher who signed up. He said that although the school has expanded its enrollment this year, there are still only two research majors planned. class."

"Are you just recruiting two classes?"

"Yes, so the first eighty or so applicants need to be admitted in the written test in the afternoon. Where are your combat majors?"

"That man is in trouble~" Wang Muye opened his hands and made exaggerated gestures.

"And the scores of the written test and the additional test account for 40.00% and 60.00% respectively, so the written test is also very important." Lin Tao thought for a while and said.

"Don't worry, I think it will be no problem for us to compete at our level!" Wang Muye patted his chest confidently, "After all, we have participated in competitions and fought in actual combat!"

"We can't take it lightly, Makino. The exam rules don't let us compete with other students, but let us challenge the teacher. It might be easy for us to overturn."

"Yes." Wang Muye nodded, but soon discovered a new topic, "Eh? Taozi, what do you think that is?"

Following the direction Wang Muye pointed, several people saw a poster on the wall of the hotel.

In the middle of the poster, there is a blue-purple Pokémon with ears like speakers on the top of its head. This Pokémon is opening its mouth wide, holding a microphone, and stamping its feet to sing - it is roaring bombs.

Behind this Pokémon, there was someone holding a guitar, someone playing bass, drums and other instruments. It was obviously a band.

On the top of the poster is a Pokémon similar to a manta ray and a row of artistic words——

Giant Fin Flying Fish Music Festival.

"Boss, is the time on this poster for this year?" Wang Muye asked directly.

The boss was a middle-aged man who looked tall and thick. He looked at the poster and said with a smile: "Yes, it will be the day after tomorrow. Some young people came over a while ago and asked me to put it up."

"I didn't want to post it at first, but they even sang a piece for me, hahaha! But to be honest, the singing was pretty good. You can go and have fun if you have nothing to do. I heard they are all local bands from Qin City!"

Music festival... rock bugs will definitely like it.Lin Tao thought for a moment and said, "Hey, is anyone going? I'm free the day after tomorrow!"

"I'll forget about Taozi. You know I can't appreciate music." Wang Muye shook his head.

"After my exam today, my family will take me to the provincial capital to visit and study. I won't be back until school starts..." Ma Ling also said that he didn't have time.

"What about you, Cheng Pu?" Lin Tao asked unwillingly.

But after asking, I felt a little regretful. It seemed like it would be better to go alone with this stuffy oil bottle.

Fortunately, Cheng Pu didn't even raise his head and simply refused, "I won't go."

"Uh... well."

Lin Tao turned around and looked at the naughty panda, "Panda boy, let's go with the rock bug!"

"Eaaah!" No problem.

……

After the meal, they didn't take much rest before they returned to No. [-] Middle School to prepare for the placement test.

The first is the written test. Although the time is only one and a half hours, the paper is divided into four parts, front and back pages. The number of questions is not small, so the time to answer the questions is quite tight.

The first part on the front is cultural knowledge.Classic mathematics questions, Chinese and English reading comprehension, comprehensive science experimental questions, comprehensive liberal arts material questions, etc.

This part has been learned in junior high school, so it is not a problem for Lin Tao's level to answer it correctly.

The second part is about the skills and characteristics of Pokémon in battle.

Lin Tao knew most of the common Pokémon fairly well, but the last few questions showed the regional forms of Pokémon, which touched on Lin Tao's knowledge blind spots - fortunately, one question tested the pangolin in the cold zone. , Lin Tao had seen it a while ago and could barely answer it.

The third part on the back of the paper is about the knowledge of Pokémon cultivation. The simple common sense about some tree fruits and energy cubes in the front is okay, but some professional cultivation knowledge is involved in the back. Lin Tao's eyes were completely blank and he didn't know anything anymore. .

The last part is some Pokémon research topics.If Lin Tao could still figure out the previous parts, this part...

Why do most fossil Pokémon have rock attributes?

What is the difference between Dior's transformation skills and the transformation of the fantasy Pokémon Mew?

Aside from their size, what are the similarities between the Ultra-Ancient Pokémon and the Gigantamax Pokémon?

How to complete super evolution without relying on super evolution stones and key stones?

???

Ah, this...is this definitely a question for students who are in their first year of high school?

"Those who dare to apply for a research major are really brave..." Lin Tao couldn't help but complain in his heart.

An hour and a half passed by in a blink of an eye. Looking at the paper that was taken away with about a quarter of it blank, Lin Tao, who was more or less an top student in junior high school, felt very melancholy.

When he left the examination room and saw that most of the people had confused faces, Lin Tao felt relieved a little. It wasn't until he saw Wang Muye that he asked habitually, "Makino, how was your answer?"

"The first half is pretty simple, just junior high school knowledge," Wang Muye answered easily. "The second half, the knowledge about Pokémon battles, is a little more complicated, but it took me a while to finish the answer!"

"What about the cultivation part and the research topic part on the back?"

“There are still questions on the back???”

"..."

It seems that everyone’s performance in the written test was not satisfactory, so it’s better to hurry up and take the test in the next battle.

……

At the outdoor battle arena, three teachers specializing in battle have been waiting here for a long time.

On the far left is an old teacher with white hair but good spirits. He should have retired long ago, but at this time, the old man is still standing on the sidelines wearing a crisp suit.

In the middle is a young and beautiful girl, wearing ordinary white half-sleeves and denim shorts. If she weren't standing in the examiner's position, it would be hard to tell that she was a teacher.

On the far right is a slovenly old man with a beard, holding an unknown pamphlet in his hand and yawning with a bored look on his face.

"Dear candidates, this extra battle test will be conducted by the three of us as examiners," the old man on the far left glanced at his watch, "Now, the time has come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Pokémon ball on his waist flashed red, and a Pokémon was released.

I saw that this Pokémon was huge, with four legs on the ground, shaped like a toad, and there was a huge blooming flower growing on its back - Bulbasaur.

"Well-"

Bulbasaur let out a low roar, and two thick vines suddenly sprang out from both sides of the flower behind her, stretching all the way to the door of the outdoor battle arena. The gate on the fence closed with a bang.

"Those who fail to arrive after the due date will be given zero points." The old man said strictly. "Next, I will explain the content of the exam."

wow——

There was a brief commotion among the candidates. On the one hand, this Bulbasaur looked very intimidating. It is estimated that it would be difficult for all the candidates' Pokémon to win if they were tied together. On the other hand, it was because the examiner - this The old teacher looked really serious.

"Candidates of this exam can choose any one of the trials from our three examiners, and the final score will be determined by the examiner of that session."

"Oh, by the way, let me give you a brief introduction. My surname is Wan. You can call me Teacher Wan. The two next to me are Teacher Guo and Teacher Mei."

"Hello everyone, please come on later!" The young female teacher standing in the middle said with a smile and waved to the candidates.

The sloppy uncle on the far right casually raised his right hand without even taking his eyes off the pamphlet in his hand, "Hey! Hello everyone, you'd better not come to my place for a while - if you want to pass."

"Ahem, continue. The trials for the three of us are the grass trial, the fire trial and the water trial. The rules are different."

Hearing this, Lin Tao roughly understood that grass, water and fire are some of the more common Pokémon attributes in daily life. If they only choose one of the three, it is estimated that most people will choose the beautiful female teacher in the middle. Well, thinking about it, I turned around and glanced at my companion next to me——

"The uncle to my right is so stinky, I'll choose him soon!" Wang Muye said angrily.

Well...it seems that Makino does not belong to the majority of people.

"First of all, the rules of my Grass Trial are that within 30 seconds, the Pokémon cannot fall to the ground."

"Secondly, for the trial of fire, the rules are that the Pokémon successfully survives three attacks from Teacher Guo without losing its combat ability."

"Finally, the water trial, the rule is that after the 30-second battle ends, let Teacher Mei's Pokémon take any damage."

"Now, you can choose and queue up to start the exam."

At first glance, it doesn’t seem particularly difficult.Although Bulbasaur looks powerful, it is so big. If you are a speed-type Pokémon, you can probably use your speed to maneuver around for 30 seconds.

In the middle Fire Trial, although I haven’t seen the examiner’s Pokémon yet, it’s probably fire-type based on its name. If its attributes are restrained, it shouldn’t be a problem to resist or dodge three attacks.

The water trial on the far right is simpler. I just mentioned that it can cause any damage. As long as you can touch it, you can pass it, right?

Which one should I choose?Lin Tao was caught in a tangle.

"Damn, it took a long time but it turned out to be so simple. Taozi, I went to choose the water trial!" Wang Muye said to Lin Tao carelessly.

But vaguely, Lin Tao always felt that there must be a conspiracy behind something so simple on the surface.

"I choose the trial of fire!"

The Bulbasaur on the left was too intimidating, and Lin Tao didn't want to face it, and the right always smelled of conspiracy. After thinking for a long time, Lin Tao decided to choose the middle.After all, he has to withstand three fire-based skill attacks. With Master Yuan's current rock armor, he should still be able to do it.
