Chapter 315 New Level
From the moment Lin Chuan easily defeated Milotic, Kaliya was destined to become an intermediate trainer. The next step was to wait for the assessments of others to be completed, and Kaliya would just have to wait to receive the certificate.
The difference between an intermediate trainer and a junior trainer is that an intermediate trainer is already a person that the league attaches great importance to. He is also the backbone of the league and has a certain status.
After all, there are only a few high-level trainers. Although the number of intermediate trainers is not large, there are still hundreds of them. If the Alliance can organize these intermediate trainers and form an army , it will be very terrifying.
In ancient times, there existed such an army of elves, but there were no Poké Balls at that time, and the elves that were captured were of varying quality, so the elves' true terrifying power could not be brought into play.
If modern mid-level trainers could organize themselves into a well-trained army and command their own Pokémon to fight, I'm afraid there would be no existence in the entire continent that could stand against them.
Even the legendary elves are no match for it, unless it is the legendary creature that can move mountains and seas, like the Zapdos, then it will be crushed directly.
Of course, each trainer is an independent individual with his own thoughts, so it is difficult to organize them, and there is no need to do so now unless a huge disaster occurs one day.
Soon, the intermediate assessment officially came to an end.
Only six people passed the intermediate assessment. This ratio is very low. It is probably the lowest in recent years. Only one in nine trainers passed the assessment.
Since then, the league has had six more intermediate trainers. Although not many, if nothing unexpected happens, given the age of intermediate trainers, they will not disappear for decades, and the number accumulated every year is also very large.
Afterwards, under the envious gazes of everyone, Kalia and the other five people received the intermediate trainer certificates and officially became intermediate trainers.
"I'm an intermediate trainer now."
A short-haired trainer's eyes were filled with tears. Only he knew that he had participated in the intermediate assessment several times, and had failed miserably every time. This time, he finally succeeded.
Becoming an intermediate trainer is equivalent to entering a new level. A beginner trainer is just getting started, while an intermediate trainer is considered to have truly stepped into the threshold of becoming a trainer.
Kaliya was also a little excited.
Although she has only been a trainer for a short time, just over half a year, she has experienced a lot in this period, and now she has finally become an intermediate trainer.
Although her father, Karai, was a gym leader, he did not become a mid-level trainer in the end and died young. She can be said to have fulfilled one of her father's wishes.
Now, she is getting closer and closer to participating in the league competition. She has become an intermediate trainer, and the next step is to become an advanced trainer.
As long as you become a high-level trainer, you will have the opportunity to participate in the league competition and have the opportunity to become the league champion.
Of course, as she learned more, Kaliya also realized that participating in the league competition and becoming the league champion are not on the same level at all. Kaliya also didn't think that she could become the league champion with her first league competition. That was definitely unrealistic.
…
"Congratulations on becoming an intermediate trainer. Your journey as a trainer has just begun. Keep up the good work." Mandya personally handed the intermediate trainer's certificate to Kalia, along with the badge representing an intermediate trainer.
"Thanks."
Kalia solemnly accepted the certificate and badge. From then on, she was an intermediate trainer, and ordinary people had to respect her when they saw her.
As an intermediate trainer, he is an unignorable presence wherever he goes and is already qualified to be a gym leader.
In many places, the gym owners are all mid-level trainers. This is not just the case in Sebastian. The same is true in the Elly region, because high-level trainers basically look down on the resources of the gym owners.
Advanced trainers basically want to sprint to a higher level. No one wants to be trapped in a certain gym. It is difficult to grow without going around the world to meet all kinds of strong people.
Of course, there are many private gyms where the strength of the gym owners may surpass that of intermediate trainers, but these private gyms are generally not recognized by the league.
There are very few private gyms, and they are generally profit-oriented, but the gym owners are very powerful and their main target is the top intermediate trainers.
After defeating eight gyms, there are basically no more gyms to challenge, so the only thing left is the advanced assessment. However, trainers who have just obtained eight badges are often still far from the advanced assessment. This is because some Pokémon have not yet fully grown up.
Private gyms take advantage of this, mainly to give mid-level trainers a goal to work towards, while also making a profit and earning challenge fees.
Although private gyms are not recognized, they do have real talent and can provide intermediate trainers with a goal, so the league has never cared about them.
Existence is reasonable. Private gyms give many trainers who have obtained eight badges a new goal. Although challenging private gyms costs money, this amount of money is not a big deal for intermediate trainers. They can earn it back by completing a few tasks.
Basically, trainers who are able to challenge private gyms have already acquired the initial ability to participate in advanced assessments.
However, these are still far from Kaliya.
In short, intermediate trainers already have a certain social status, and it is easier for them to obtain money. As long as they don't spend money indiscriminately, they can basically afford the resources to train Pokémon, as well as their own food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The assessment was over and everyone dispersed. What made Kalia regretful was that Mal did not successfully become an intermediate trainer.
However, Mal only failed the practical test, and he vowed that he would pass the next test.
At the same time, Mal also expressed his blessings to Kalia, and the two returned to Shanyan City together, and then parted ways.
After becoming an intermediate trainer, Kalia is ready to enter Totem City, which is the gathering place for intermediate trainers.
The levels of contact are different, and the growth obtained is naturally different. After all, there are mostly junior trainers in Shanyan City. Only by coming to Totem City and fighting more with intermediate trainers can you adapt as soon as possible.
For an intermediate trainer, it is already a 4v4 mode, which means that Chickenlid also needs to join the battle. Although Chickenlid has not grown up yet, this can put some pressure on Kalia.
Kaliya is even thinking about whether to capture a fifth Pokémon. However, with the experience of Strong Chicken, Kaliya does not plan to capture a weak Pokémon as her fifth Pokémon because it takes too long to train. With Kaliya's speed of progress, the Pokémon's growth rate cannot keep up.
The best way is to directly capture powerful elves and then slowly cultivate relationships. Although it may be difficult to increase intimacy, the time saved is more than enough to make up for it.
