Chapter 134 Practical Assessment
The assessment for junior trainers is very simple and is divided into two tests. The first test is about the basic knowledge and common sense of Pokémon. After all, as a trainer, you must have some understanding of Pokémon, otherwise how can you train Pokémon well.
The second is a test of the elf's strength. The elf's strength must reach a certain level and cannot be too weak. However, being able to obtain three badges is actually a proof of strength. The second test is generally not too difficult.
The assessment for junior trainers began soon. Teacher Jiang handed out test papers one by one. There were various questions on them. As long as the trainers could reach the passing line, they would pass. If they could not even reach the passing line, it meant that the trainers had not prepared seriously.
After getting the test paper, Kalia read it first, and then started to write it carefully. Most of the questions were not difficult, which was even easier for Kalia, after all, she had studied in the library for a long time.
The first part is multiple-choice questions. One of the questions asks which kind of Pokémon in the food chain of the Pokémon world does Pidgeot like to hunt? There are several answers, namely Caterpillar, Horned Worm and Magikarp. This question is very simple, and the answer is undoubtedly Magikarp.
It is well known that Pidgeot likes to eat Magikarp. Although trainers generally do not feed Pidgeot to eat Magikarp, if it is in the cruel wild, wild Pidgeot's favorite thing is to hunt Magikarp from the water.
The first few questions on the test paper are almost all about the food chain between elves, such as whether there is a hunting relationship between the Molten Ant and the Iron Ant, or which elf was the target of the Proto-Bird in ancient times, etc.
Kaliya answered very seriously, almost all of them were questions she had seen before. Even for some unpopular questions that she had not seen before, she could actually guess the answers easily.
For example, does the orca like to hunt heart fish, weaklings, or giant clams? This is a multiple-choice question with three answers: a, b, and c. Choose the correct answer.
This is relatively unpopular, as Smelly is rarely seen in the Sebastian region, and some trainers don't even know that this Pokémon exists, but you can actually use the method of elimination.
Love heart fish like to live in warm water areas and swim among corals. Obviously, this kind of sea area is not suitable for hunting by howler whales.
Not to mention Shellder, which is an elf living on the shore and will not go to the deep sea, so there is only one answer, which is b.
Kalia finished answering the first part quickly. The middle part was fill-in-the-blank questions, most of which were about Pokémon's moves, such as which moves a certain Pokémon could learn, and then there were two or three brackets for the trainer to fill in freely.
This is very simple, because generally speaking, elves can master several moves. Even if they don’t remember all of them, it doesn’t matter. You just need to remember enough moves.
These questions were not difficult for Kalia, and she filled them out easily with almost no difficulty.
The last part is the most difficult and most critical fill-in-the-blank question. For example, a certain Pokémon battles against another Pokémon, and various conditions are given. The trainer is then asked to write down which Pokémon wins in the end and why it wins.
In fact, at this point, Kalia has basically passed the exam, but she still finished writing it carefully. The last few questions are still relatively difficult, but if she can answer the previous ones correctly, she will basically pass the exam.
"Huh, I'm done." Kalia let out a breath, feeling relatively relaxed. With her experience in competitions, although she couldn't guarantee full marks on the last few questions, the final answers would definitely be correct.
When Kalia finished writing, the other trainers were still pondering with worried looks on their faces. It was obvious that they were not well prepared, but they still had a chance to pass.
Kaliya checked it once and handed in the paper.
"You're good." Teacher Jiang had obviously been observing and found that Kalia's performance was the best.
After taking the test paper and looking at it for a few seconds, he nodded slightly in satisfaction. There were almost no mistakes and all the answers were correct. Even he couldn't find any fault with it.
Soon, everyone else was almost there, and those who didn’t know how to do it basically had no choice but to hand in their papers.
Next is the test of the Pokémon’s strength. After the test is over, there will be news tomorrow as to whether or not anyone has become a junior trainer.
The location of the second test was naturally not the battle field of the Pokémon Center, where trainers would fight every day and it was easily disturbed.
The actual combat assessment was held on a vast grassland on the outskirts of Hongyu City.
The strength test is very simple. It involves fighting against the Pokémon in charge of the assessment. As long as the trainer conducting the assessment thinks you are capable, you will pass.
After arriving at the outskirts of Hongyu City, Teacher Jiang sent out his own Pokémon, which was a blue Snorlax with squinted eyes, looking as if it had not woken up yet.
Snorlax is very famous among trainers because it can eat hundreds of kilograms of food in one meal and has an incredibly large appetite. In addition, Snorlax's strength is also very amazing.
The impression that Snorlax gives to trainers is that it has thick skin and a round body, and seems to be impossible to hit. Any move hitting Snorlax is just like a tickle.
It also has high attack power, and when angry, it can be extremely destructive.
Looking at this huge, round Snorlax, it is almost taller than a human even when lying down. If it stands up and falls accidentally, it might crush a person to death.
"Next, you can send out two Pokémon to fight my Snorlax. If you can last for thirty seconds, you will pass. You go first." Teacher Jiang said, and then he pointed to one of the trainers.
"yes."
The rookie trainer walked to the front, looked at the huge Snorlax, and sent out his own Pokémon, a Pidgeot and a Snorlax, both of which were relatively fast Pokémon.
"Snorlax, defeat them." Teacher Jiang did not give any instructions for the moves, but let Snorlax play freely and threw a few fruits at random.
Snorlax called out lazily, stood up, took the fruit and threw it into his mouth, ate it, then looked at the two Pokémon in front of him.
"Go straight for the bear, Bobo, use Lightning Flash!"
The trainer spoke up.
Kalia shook her head. The passing requirement was to hold on for thirty seconds. Both Popo and Ursarom had the advantage in speed, so there was no need to attack. They could just circle around Snorlax.
If we attack directly now and get close to Snorlax's attack range, it would be like sending ourselves to the enemy.
Sure enough, the next second, the Straight Bear was slapped away by Snorlax. The thick fleshy palm had great power, and with this slap, the Straight Bear immediately lost its combat effectiveness.
Popo was blown away by Bearcat and avoided being attacked by Snorlax. After the attack, he flew into the air.
At this time, the trainer finally understood what to do. He commanded Pidgeot to fly into the sky and stopped attacking, hoping to delay until thirty seconds.
Unfortunately, Snorlax did not give up. He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at Popo, using a rock-type knockdown move.
After being hit, Bobo fell down, fell into a coma, and lost his combat ability.
"Pip!" The trainer was stunned. It had not even been more than ten seconds when both Ursa Major and Pidgeot failed one after another.
"You didn't pass. Do you think that just flying in the air will be enough? It's not that simple." Teacher Jiang said coldly.
The trainer's initial order was wrong. He was right to let Pidgey fly in the air, but then he took shortcuts and tried to drag it out to thirty seconds.
What's the use of a trainer who doesn't even have the right mentality when facing a strong opponent?
"Next, you."
