Pokémon: Legendary Pokémon Simulator, Starting with Arceus

"Haha, little brother, remember to give a good review."

At the gym entrance, Arcanine's figure disappeared, leaving only the old man's voice echoing in my ears.

Xiong Meng was used to it; this was how it was here—fast in the air, fast on land.

I'm used to it now...

The Mudkip was not used to it at first and was already lying in the green belt vomiting, although it only produced water.

The grass was lush and green after the baptism, which showed that the water was quite nutritious.

"Are you alright?"

He squatted down, patted her back, and handed her a bottle of water with concern. She opened it and drank it down her throat.

"Sell!"

The Pokémon already has good recovery ability; a bottle of water works immediately, and it even jumps to ensure a boost.

"Okay, let's go then."

Dongzhao Fighting Dojo, rated Level 2, is a modern building, and its owner is elite trainer Xiong Biao.

The interior space is divided into two parts: the front is for regular training and occasional use, and the back is for gym leaders to challenge and earn badges.

Upon entering, I saw people tidying up the place. At a glance, there were dozens of people. Then I noticed his father was also among them.

"Master! Senior Brother is here!"

Hearing someone call his name, Xiong Biao turned around and saw his son.

"Master, you were looking for me."

Xiong Meng walked over and bowed respectfully. Calling him "Dad" here felt strange, like showing off their relationship, so he addressed him the same way everyone else did.

"Okay, let's go to the back and talk."

"Everyone, get back to work! Get ready for two days of training!"

Xiong Biao nodded, handed the things in his hand to someone else, let out a shout, and walked inside.

"oh!!!!"

"Let's go!!!"

"Push the limits!!!"

The two left amidst a series of angry roars. Mudkip was stunned for a moment, then slowly followed.

Then he climbed up Xiong Meng's trouser leg and crawled inside his clothes.

"Here's the thing, could you keep an eye on the dojo for me for the next couple of days? If any challengers come, could you battle them?"

"Um?"

"Don't the elves usually handle things themselves? Is something wrong?"

Xiong Meng was a little puzzled. The dojo master needed to be present in person during the assessment, so he was quite busy.

But wasn't the plan already prepared? Why not just let the Pokémon battle it out themselves, since the referee is there anyway?

"Here's the thing, I passed the Heavenly King assessment, and I need to prepare now."

"Then just don't accept any matches. Why make me compete? I don't even have a certificate yet."

Xiong Meng first understood, then muttered a speechless complaint.

He used to work part-time, as a junior employee in front of the restaurant owner, but this job was on a rotating basis and didn't amount to much.

"We're here. Let's come in and talk first."

The two had already walked to the back conference room, and when they opened the door, they saw an uncle dressed as a referee.

"Hello, Uncle Li!"

This is the dojo inspector, who doesn't usually interfere in anything and is also the dojo's designated referee.

"Okay, please have a seat."

Uncle Li asked the two to sit down and took out a document, placing it on the table.

"Your dad must have told you about the Heavenly King exam, right?"

Xiong Meng nodded, and the other party continued.

"That's right, our trainer assessment is different; it's always been a level higher than the outside ones."

"It's not easy to begin with, let alone the fact that your dad passed the exam for a government-affiliated position, so there are many factors involved in the evaluation."

"The trainer's character, command ability, Pokémon's strength, gym reputation, preparations outside the gym... and many other factors."

The Heavenly King is a strategic resource, let alone the museum owner.

After a dojo master reaches the Heavenly King level, the dojo can be upgraded, although there is only one slot per province per level.

But having someone with enough ability is also very good!

"Uncle Li, it's not that I don't want to, I just don't have a rookie trainer certificate."

"Don't worry, the application has been approved, and the exam will be in a bit."

After Uncle Li finished speaking, he pushed a document over. The document contained the preliminary assessment, and the answer to the question of passing was below.

"That shouldn't be the case! Who lets a rookie trainer participate in gym battles? They'll go crazy afterward!"

He has the skills, but certificates are a different story. When people see him, they'll see a newcomer becoming the head of the club and issuing badges.

Oh wow, Xiong Meng has already imagined the frenzy online.

"It's alright, I have the documents."

This time it was his father who pushed a document over, and it was approved at the very bottom.

The distribution of special badges will be suspended for the next two days, while regular badges will be issued as usual. The situation will be explained on the official website, allowing challengers to make their own choices.

Xiong Meng was taken aback when he saw the contents and asked curiously, "How did you manage to get it approved?"

"It's nothing, I just sent over some videos of our previous matches."

"The old ones?"

Seeing that his son was still confused, Xiong Biao reminded him: "It's when Heracross was just becoming an Elite."

"Oh, I remember now, that one."

"Alright, alright, that's enough knowing the situation. Do you agree or not?"

This is a rare opportunity; if Xiong Meng hadn't been so capable, the higher-ups wouldn't have agreed.

"Since everything is ready, it wouldn't be right for me to refuse. Let's give it a try."

"Alright, let's prepare for the rookie trainer assessment!"

Uncle Li flicked his cloak, and a Hulk appeared beside him, instantly teleporting.

The scene shifts, and the group has arrived at the battle platform.

"Next, I will explain the rules. Challengers and examiners will randomly select an exam sprite, and the score will be based on the overall behavior during the session. The maximum score is 100, and 60 is required to pass and receive a certificate!"

"Start selecting your spirit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two platforms rose up beside him, each with eight Poké Balls on it.

Neither of them hesitated and picked up one at random.

"Aren't you going to choose carefully? What if it's a Magikarp?"

"Hehe, I can withstand attacks from Magikarp too, I'm not afraid."

"Hahaha, I won't hold back!"

"Just don't lose!"

"beep!!!!!"

The referee's whistle interrupted the two, and Uncle Li raised his right hand to begin his introduction.

"Next, let's explain the rules. This is a regular match on a normal dirt track. There are only four types of skills allowed, and each item can only be used once or only once."

"If either Pokémon loses its will to battle, the opposing Pokémon wins! Competition second, friendship first!"

After the introductions, he brought his right hand down: "The match begins!"

"Make your appearance!"

"Thank you for your help!"

The two simultaneously threw out Poké Balls, two red lights flashed, and their respective Pokémon were confirmed.

"ha!"

"just!"

Xiong Biao is the Fearless Boy, and Xiong Meng is the stone with arms, the little fist stone.

"Hehe, I have too much of an advantage, so you can go first."

Xiong Meng looked at the smug Old Deng, squinted his eyes and didn't refuse. You think you're underestimating me? Then I won't be polite.

"Continuous use of 'Circle'! (Defense increases by one level)"

Upon hearing the command, Geodude immediately shrank into a circle, its defense increasing dramatically.

"Don't think you're the only one who can buff yourself! Fearless Kid, use Gathering Energy!"

(Puts itself into a vulnerable state. Pokémon in a vulnerable state have their critical hit rate increased by 2 stages.)

The fearless boy assumed a horse stance, and white light appeared around his body as it returned.

"Then let's continue! Keep using rocks for polishing!"

(Refine your body to reduce air resistance. This can increase your movement speed for a certain period of time.)

The small stones rubbed wildly against the ground, their bodies becoming smooth and their speed increasing.

After using it once, Bear Mark issued the command: "Dream on! Use Brick Break!"

Upon hearing the command, the fearless young man rushed forward, ready to deliver a powerful blow to his opponent.
