I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

He even spotted several trainers in the crowd who looked to be over 30 years old participating in the intermediate-level assessment.

"Boss, I can't accompany you for the written test. I'll go directly to the practical training area and wait for you," Guo Pengfei said.

Ye Feng nodded, took his ID card, and headed to the registration area to get his exam admission ticket.

There's not much to say about the written test. Ye Feng already had a lot of knowledge about Pokémon, and after nearly two years of serious study, he had no problem handling such a test.

As he expected, although he didn't get a perfect score, he still left everyone else far behind.

The examiner who gave him the results praised him highly.

···

Practical assessment venue

After the written test eliminated a large number of people, Ye Feng discovered that several people in their 30s had also passed—it seemed that at their age, the written test shouldn't have been too difficult for them; perhaps their strength in terms of their Pokémon was lacking.

The practical assessment consists of two parts.

The first item is the Pokémon's move proficiency – the assessment method is very simple: use the move that the Pokémon is best at to attack a move power test target in the test room, and the score is determined based on the result.

There is nothing to say about this.

At first, Ye Feng thought the target was very sturdy, and in order to get a good score, he had Gardevoir use its full strength. As a result, a psychic ball directly destroyed the target, causing the onlookers to gasp in surprise... Fortunately, they didn't ask for compensation.

The power measured by Gyarados's Iron Tail and Aqua Tail has reached an advanced level.

Arcanine was also under no pressure. Its stats were slightly lower than Gyarados', but it still barely reached the advanced level. After all, Gyarados had undergone a Mega Evolution and had a better understanding of life energy, so Gyarados' strength had now surpassed Arcanine's.

As for Coco Dora, her strength is still a bit lacking, but the power of her Iron Head has barely passed the test.

The results of the assessment surprised everyone.

What's going on? Why is someone bringing a high-level Pokémon to participate in the intermediate trainer assessment?

The second factor is the trainer's command ability.

The exam will provide some Pokémon, and the trainer will not know what they are. They will randomly select four Pokémon and then battle against the four Pokémon selected by the examiner. Intermediate trainers need to have four Pokémon that can pass the first test, so the second test will also provide four Pokémon.

Ye Feng glanced at the large pile of Poké Balls on the table, casually picked out four, and the examiner in charge of his assessment also took four. Then the two went to an empty area.

Those who hadn't yet had their turn gathered around the field to watch.

After selecting a Poké Ball, the trainer will know what Pokémon they receive and what moves it knows.

Ye Feng chose Wobbuffet, Meowth, Koffing, and Arbok.

Ye Feng looked at the materials handed to him by the deputy examiner and fell silent—this strong sense of déjà vu, the very first Team Rocket?

Shaking his head to clear his mind of the strange thoughts, Ye Feng looked at the moves that the Pokémon had mastered.

First up is Wobbuffet—yes, a very standard Wobbuffet moveset.

The other Pokémon were also quite average, without any particularly powerful moves. It seems that the exam really values ​​the trainer's command ability.

During the exam, the examiner will send out their Pokémon first. The examinee can choose any Pokémon to fight and can change their Pokémon at any time, but there is a limit of 3 times.

In the first round, the examiners sent out mosquito coil swimmers.

Ye Feng pondered for a second and chose to send out Arbok.

Since their strengths are roughly equal, it's natural to choose the Pokémon with the advantage in type to fight. This is also a test of the trainer's type advantage/disadvantage. Of course, since everyone is taking the intermediate level test, surely no one would get this wrong, right?

For example, fighting techniques can counter superpowers...

"Arbok, use Poison Sting!" Since it wasn't his own Pokémon, Ye Feng could only begin to give commands in a very methodical manner.

"Mosquito Coil Swimmer, use the Burst Punch!" the examiner shouted.

Ye Feng was startled. "Why are you shouting so loudly? Is your output all from yelling?"

Mosquito Swimmer swung his fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, and knocked Arbok's poison needle to the ground. Then he rushed forward and slammed his fist into Arbok's face.

At the same time, Ye Feng had already given the order: "Arbok, use Leer!"

Arbok stood up and began to sway rhythmically.

Mosquito Swimmer froze on the spot, unable to bring himself to swing his raised fist. In his eyes, the patterns on Arbok's belly seemed to possess a special magic, trapping him within them and rendering him unable to move.

"Arbok, use Poison Strike!" Ye Feng ordered.

Arbok opened its massive mouth, its sharp teeth gleaming with a purple light, clearly covered in deadly poison.

It bit the mosquito coil swimmer's arm hard, causing it to cry out in pain, and unfortunately, it also became poisoned.

"Mosquito coil swimmers, use the water cannons!" the examiner ordered.

"Get out of the way! Engage it, then use the second poison strike!" Ye Feng decisively ordered.

Arbok swiftly dropped to the ground, dodging the water cannon attack. Then, it slid its body and quickly used its body to tightly bind Poliwag, before biting down hard again.

The mosquito coil swimmers suffered another major blow.

···

Thus, under Ye Feng's skillful command, the Mosquito Coil Swimmers were defeated one after another and soon lost their ability to fight.

The examiner nodded approvingly; the boy's conducting skills were already on par with his own.

Chapter 172 Ye Feng's Little Dirty Tricks

The second Pokémon sent out by the examiner was Jolteon.

"Rayle, 100,000 Volts!" the examiner commanded.

Jolteon leaned down slightly, its body crackling with electricity, and unleashed a 100,000-volt attack on Arbok.

"Dig a hole!" Ye Feng quickly gave the order.

Arbok lowered its head and quickly burrowed into the ground.

Although Arbok was already quite fast, Thunderbolt still grazed its tail.

Ye Feng frowned slightly. As expected, it wasn't his own Pokémon, and he still felt a bit lacking in control. If it were a Cthulhu's Dig, it would have already burrowed down before Thunderbolt even arrived.

"Raybu, keep moving, and keep an eye on what's happening underground," the examiner ordered.

Even he couldn't detect the Pokémon's movements after digging a hole and burrowing into the ground, so Jolteon had to be on high alert.

Raybee moved cautiously, his eyes darting around, while his ears twitched occasionally as he carefully sensed the movements underground.

Just as Jolteon turned around, the ground shook, and Arbok suddenly sprang out, opening its mouth to bite Jolteon.

"Rayle, use Quick Attack to dodge!" The examiner had been waiting for this moment, and the order was given very promptly.

Without even looking behind him, Jolteon unleashed a Flash of Light, his body transforming into a streak of white light and vanishing from the spot, leaving Arbok empty-handed.

"Poison needle!"

"One hundred thousand volts!"

The two gave the order at the same time, but the Thunderbolt blast directly dispersed the poison needles and struck Arbok.

Arbok collapsed to the ground amidst a scream, its body billowing black smoke.

Ye Feng frowned slightly and recalled Arbok.

After thinking for two seconds, I threw out the next Poké Ball.

Double-shot gas appeared on the field.

"Double gas, deploy smoke screen!" Ye Feng ordered.

"Stop it with 100,000 Volts!" the examiner ordered hastily. If the Double Weezing was allowed to use smoke to cover the field, then Raibou wouldn't be able to see anything and would be at a disadvantage.

"Get away!"

The two gas canisters floated up lightly, dodging the 100,000-volt attack, and spewed out thick black smoke from their mouths, quickly covering the area.

"Rayle, use Discharge!" The examiner pondered for a second before giving the order.

Discharge is a wide-range, indiscriminate attack. Since we can't see it, we might as well just bombard the entire map!

Jolteon erupted with a large amount of electricity, which sprayed out in all directions, but it missed its target. Just as Jolteon was stunned, a Shadow Ball suddenly fell from the sky and hit it on the head.

"What?" The examiner looked up in surprise and found that the double-explosive gas had somehow ended up in the air.

"That's interesting." The examiner nodded approvingly; the boy's command was quite flexible.

However, since you've revealed your location, I won't be polite! "Rayleigh, Thunder!"

Rayquaza let out a roar, and a thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking towards the Double Gas.

"Same fate!" Ye Feng frowned. This attack was unavoidable, and with the stamina of the Double Gas, Ye Feng found it hard to believe that it could withstand it.

A black light flashed in Weezing's eyes, and a black shadow merged into Jolteon's body in the blink of an eye. At the same time, Thunder also hit Weezing.

With a mournful cry, the Double Gas Slammer slowly landed on the ground, while Jolteon lost its ability to battle due to the Destiny Bond effect.

"When there was no way to avoid it, and you judged that the Pokémon could not withstand the attack, you directly used the 'Shared Fate' technique? How decisive!" The examiner nodded inwardly.

The examiner's third Pokémon was Pikachu.

Ye Feng paused for a moment, then threw out Meowth's Poké Ball.

This wave is called a classic re-enactment.
