Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

But actually, she heard the news from her father. Overjoyed, she quickly called Ye Chen to tell him, without even knowing the author's name.

Otherwise, she should have been able to make some guesses.

"You found out too? That makes sense, you usually like to browse that forum." Jiang Shuyun's tone suddenly turned dejected.

I wanted to surprise him, but he already knew!

"By the way, I'm going to the Trainer Center to register for my Trainer Certificate today. Do you want to register for it while you're at it?"

Jiang Shuyun quickly shook off her dejection; she was the kind of girl who could always be full of energy.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and realized that if he registered for a trainer certificate, he would receive a certain amount of financial compensation each month depending on his level. This was one of the benefits that the League provided to ordinary trainers.

It has only been less than a hundred years since the first Pokémon Realm appeared, and not everyone in the world can become a trainer. The League has these benefits to support and encourage everyone to become a trainer.

Moreover, he has no intention of hiding his identity. He writes papers to acquire resources, and he is destined to be in the spotlight for the rest of his life.

So what reason is there not to go?

“Okay, then wait for me. Didn’t you want to see the Ugly Fish before? I’ll bring it out so you can broaden your horizons.”

……

Half an hour later, Ye Chen and Jiang Shuyun met at the entrance of the Rongcheng Trainers Center.

"Lao Ye!"

Jiang Shuyun ran over from a distance, shouting, and gave Ye Chen a big hug.

Seeing the surprised looks from passersby, Ye Chen helplessly slapped his forehead.

"This girl is still as energetic as ever."

Enter the Trainer Center,

The two found the trainer certificate registration point.

The receptionist asked politely, "Hello, are you here to register or upgrade your trainer certificate?"

Jiang Shuyun: "We're here to register."

"Okay, please wait a moment. We will have professional staff take you to the testing area to test your Pokémon's strength."

A middle-aged man came out shortly after and led Ye Chen and Jiang Shuyun into a room surrounded by steel with only two small windows.

"I am the person in charge of this test, that is, the examiner. All items in this test are alliance compliance tests. There are cameras everywhere to record the entire test process, so please rest assured."

Jiang Shuyun whispered in Ye Chen's ear, "He seems really strict."

The examiner continued, "Who wants to go first?"

Jiang Shuyun hurriedly said, "I'll go first!"

As he spoke, he took out a Poké Ball from his waist and threw it forward. A red light flashed, and a Charmeleon about 1.3 meters tall appeared on the field.

Ye Chen was taken aback. He hadn't expected Jiang Shuyun's little fire dragon to have evolved. No wonder he was in such a hurry to be the first to test it. It seemed he wanted to show off in front of him.

Pokémon: Charmeleon

Level: Intermediate Beginner

Qualification: Gym level

Feature: Fire

Skills: Grab, Spark, Smoke Screen, Dragon's Fury, Flame Fang

Upon seeing it, the examiner exclaimed, "Its size far surpasses that of an ordinary Charmeleon, its tail flame is powerful, and its muscle lines are clearly defined. It seems you have raised it very well!"

"Roar!"

Charmander roared happily after hearing the examiner's words, and Ye Chen realized that it was praising the examiner's good taste.

"Next, have your Charmeleon use its strongest skill to attack the target in front of you."

"Okay, Charmeleon, use Fire Fang!"

The Charizard opened its mouth, its sharp teeth stained with pale yellow flames, and then charged forward and bit down on the target.

The numbers on the counter next to it started to climb rapidly and finally stopped at 113.

The examiner was somewhat surprised: "You must be rookie trainers who just received your Pokémon, to be able to train them to this level, that's amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyun felt embarrassed and scratched the back of her head, saying, "It's because this little guy is talented; it has nothing to do with me."

"No matter how talented a Pokémon is, it still needs a trainer to bring out its potential."

"The skill's power has reached the early intermediate level. Next is the practical test."

As the examiner spoke, he pressed the second of the three buttons next to him, and a box rose up from under the floor in front of him. Inside the box were three Poké Balls.

"These three Poké Balls contain Bulbasaur, Charmeleon, and Wartortle. You will be battling Wartortle next, and your task is to defeat it."

"Ah, why use Wartortle?" Jiang Shuyun asked.

The examiners didn't mind Jiang Shuyun's question; people are always more tolerant of geniuses.

"This is a League rule: a Trainer's true strength can only be seen in battles against type disadvantages. Get ready, let's begin!"

P.S.: Thank you so much for the monthly pass!

Chapter Thirteen: You call this Ugly Fish?

The examiner pressed the button again, and all the equipment sank into the ground, making the venue suddenly spacious.

Jiang Shuyun's Charmeleon and the exam Pokémon Wartortle stood at opposite ends of the field.

The examiner acted as the referee, and with his shout of "The competition begins!"

Jiang Shuyun was the first to launch an attack.

"Charmeleon uses Ember, then gets close and uses Flame Fang!"

Charmeleon opened its mouth and spewed out a fireball, which flew straight at Wartortle's face.

Wartortle also opened its mouth and spat out a water gun, extinguishing the sparks. However, Charmeleon was already very close to Wartortle by the rising steam.

"It's now!"

As Jiang Shuyun shouted, flames erupted from the slightly cracked mouth of the Charizard, with a few sparks occasionally leaking from between its teeth.

Seeing this, Wartortle retracted its head and limbs into its shell, but Charmeleon didn't care and bit down hard on Wartortle's hard shell.

"Ow~"

Charmeleon covered its mouth with its paws, and judging from its pained expression, it probably loosened several teeth from that bite. However, Pokémon are very resilient and only need a few days of rest afterward.

"Oh no!" Jiang Shuyun had actually wanted to warn Wartortle when she saw it use Retract into its shell, but Charmeleon was already very close to Wartortle, and she was too slow to react.

Wartortle, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity pass by. It used a high-speed spin in its shell to charge at Charmeleon.

"Charmeleon, use a smoke screen!"

Upon hearing the command, Charmeleon's eyes turned fierce, and it opened its mouth to exhale thick smoke, which quickly blocked Wartortle's path.

"This smoke screen..." Ye Chen suddenly caught a whiff of something unusual. "It's that! So that's it. Where did this girl learn this trick?"

Wartortle didn't notice anything unusual and charged straight into the smoke, relying on its senses to crash into Charmeleon's location.

Jiang Shuyun was overjoyed when she saw Wartortle enter the smoke screen: "Charmeleon, Ember!"

Charmeleon really hated Wartortle for breaking its teeth.

Without hesitation, he spat a spark into the smoke!

The examiner stood outside the room, looking thoughtful.

"Why use Ember? Wasn't using Ember to enter the smoke screen to point out Charmeleon's location to Wartortle? Although you have great talent, you're still too young!"

To everyone's surprise, the moment the spark touched the smoke, it immediately triggered a violent explosion.

Everywhere the smoke spread was covered in raging flames!

The examiner was shocked; the Wartrick could not withstand such a powerful explosion, even inside its shell.

They quickly summoned their Pokémon to extinguish the fire, and after a flurry of activity, finally put the fire out completely.

After putting the badly injured Wartortle into the ball and having the staff take it for treatment, the examiner looked at Jiang Shuyun.

"You've added something to your smokescreen, haven't you? That's a really good tactic!"

Jiang Shuyun smiled but didn't say anything. How could a trainer's tactics be easily revealed?

"Congratulations on becoming an intermediate trainer! You can receive a monthly stipend of 1000 League Coins at the Trainer Center in each city!"

"Yes! I did it!"

Jiang Shuyun shouted excitedly and pounced into Ye Chen's arms, clinging to him like an octopus. Ye Chen, as if by reflex, held onto some unknown spot with both hands.

Seeing this, the examiner turned away, thinking to himself, "Young people these days are so uninhibited, unlike us back in the day..."

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Ye Chen put Jiang Shuyun down and said,

"Examiner, it's my turn now."

"Ah, right, it's your turn. Release your spirit."
