Pokémon: Legendary Pokémon Simulator, Starting with Arceus

Chapter 176 Glory to one's ancestors is just around the corner!

"By the way, how many credits will you get after this course?"

"I don't know. The basic requirement is 0.5, and each person gets 0.5 credits. How about that?"

"You guys are so kind. We each only got 0.3. No way, we'll tell you when we get back that we won't come again next time."

"It's good enough to have a bonus, it's so easy and comfortable, what more could you want?"

"That's true. We don't want someone else to take it away from us. There are so many people watching. Besides, the credits are determined by the school based on its own circumstances, not by the teachers."

"That makes sense, then I won't say anything more."

Xiong Meng was unaware of what was happening in the outside communication. In reality, this was a regulation arranged by higher authorities. Many people are too easily disturbed and influenced, leading to them being deceived.

They may be much less common in Donghuang, but they are not nonexistent, and they are quite common in other regions.

To raise safety awareness, Donghuang has implemented this model in various relevant venues, with young people and students making up the majority of its staff.

If you call the police, go in for a vacation, remove your makeup, and come out. If you were indeed scammed, you can return the money a few months later after reporting it to the police.

By the way, different results earn different credits, with failure earning the fewest and success the most.

However, there are relatively few people taking the Super Evolution Certificate exam, and it is quite important, so it is an outdoor job with little work and many credits, which is popular with many people.

"Bearmon failed as a trainer. You're only a beginner Pokémon trainer. Don't you have any certification? You get paid for it."

The staff stared blankly at the files on the computer. It was another ruthless person like that, trying to lure the lowest level person into taking the super evolution certificate exam if they didn't upgrade.

"It's alright, it's enough for now," Xiong Meng refused.

"Okay, but I should mention this in advance: there may be similar standards in later jobs and internships, or at least the head of the teaching department will have to vouch for you."

"You're fine now that you're a freshman, but remember to plan ahead so it doesn't affect you later, otherwise it'll be a loss."

"Okay, thanks for reminding me."

"I understand your mindset. It's fine to do this. Just make sure you understand the requirements beforehand." The staff member smiled, saying, "Everyone goes through this period."

In official competitions, you can see the trainer's level. It has always been Donghuang's unique style to release trainers of the lowest level whose strength is not matched. This is especially true when they compete in other regions, where it is even more common.

"Alright, take elevator number one to the battlefield. The examiners will be there to make arrangements."

After thanking him, he took the card and headed towards the elevator. The staff kept watching him as he went...

"Um, is there anything else?"

"It's alright, but don't you have anything to say to outsiders, like reporting them or something?"

"No need, I know they mean no harm, I am a special ability user."

The staff member's expression changed instantly; the excitement of watching the spectacle vanished. "Oh, is that so? Well, you'd better go in quickly then."

Special ability users, huh? That's not very interesting. It's a pity we won't see those heart-wrenching screams outside today.

Pity.

Xiong Meng was speechless. You guys have all the money and resources you've spent, and this is all you want to see?

After swiping my card to enter the elevator, I stepped out and saw a worktable connected to various machines, where a middle-aged man was standing.

"Comrade Xiong Meng, right? I've heard so much about you. You've done a fantastic job on the front lines; you're a little hero!"

"Haha, come register and get ready for the exam. The sooner you take the exam, the sooner you'll be done."

"Emm," she said somewhat helplessly after seeing that her trainer level was beginner, "You can take the test every day until you reach advanced level. Should I make an appointment now?"

"It's okay, I'm fine."

He knew that some areas in his future work might require certain certification levels, but not now, and he wasn't short of money.

No hurry, no hurry.

The middle-aged man nodded in understanding. "Then please show us where the Super Evolution Set came from. We need to make a record of it."

"It was given to me by the dean of academic affairs at Harbin University. I don't know how to verify its authenticity?"

"You can leave this to us. Just tell us where you got it."

The person operating the computer typed away for a few minutes, and then announced, "The source has been confirmed: Heracross Mega Evolution Stone Keystone. We'll register it here."

"Then if it is sold or lost later, remember to report it to the local management department in a timely manner."

"Next, we will begin the testing. Please go to the mechanical platform over there and follow the instructions."

Xiong Meng walked to his position and waited for a moment. Then the middle-aged man's voice came, "Please release the Pokémon for this assessment."

"Heracross, enter the field!" (North)

"Hera~"

The staff in charge of the computer began recording the status. Once everything was ready, "the super evolution can begin at any time; we can start as soon as we're ready."

He pulled the keystone from his pocket. "Is Heracross ready?"

"Hera!"

"Then answer me! Mega Evolution!"

Light shone brightly in the venue, and skilled staff members had already taken out special glasses and put them on, carefully examining the energy connections on the computer screens.

"Hera!!!" Super Heracross stood in the arena, displaying his powerful arms and sharp eyes.

"Okay! Please hold this position!"

Three minutes later, the middle-aged man spoke, "You can exit the super-evolution state now; the assessment is over."

"That's it? That was fast."

The middle-aged man looked at the various values ​​on the screen and said, "The test is that the Pokémon's emotions are stable and the trainer's emotions are not too volatile."

"Many trainers struggle to control Mega Evolution at first, and if they use it recklessly, problems can easily arise, especially with trainers like Steelix and Aggron."

"The Super Evolution Certificate means that you can control it and use it in special situations and battles, but you still have to use it according to the situation. If something goes wrong, you will have to take responsibility yourself."

"Alright, now go to room number two and watch a video for half an hour. After that, you'll have to take an exam. Just come back here to get your certificate after you pass the exam."

The room contained a normal table and a large screen. After we sat down, the video started playing, mainly explaining various unexpected situations and precautions.

There are cameras in all four corners, and you must keep watching. If you stop watching, the app will automatically pause and resume watching.

After the test was finished, the staff came in and put down the test paper. If you score 90 points, you can go out and get your certificate. This is a small matter for Xiong Meng.

After successfully completing the exam and receiving my certificate, I said goodbye to the uncle and went home to prepare for the exam at the end of the month.

The video of World Tree has been uploaded, and the timing was satisfactory. Viewers were thrilled, and then Wu Zhuming contacted them.

I asked about the World Tree, such as whether it exists. I saw it in an ancient book and asked if you could recommend it.

After filling in the past, Xiong Meng also searched online and discovered that there really was no news about the World Tree in this world.

It seems that this parallel world is a bit different.

But none of that matters. What's important now is that the challenge for a spot in the Cherry Blossom Friendship Tournament is about to begin.

On this day, there were many high school students from Harbin University, and senior students who are usually not often seen also showed up in large numbers.

This day marks the beginning of the decision to send team members to the Cherry Blossom Friendship Tournament. Starting today, each member can begin registering for the challenge.

Over the next two weeks, each member will have three challenge opportunities, up to a maximum of three against three, with the challenger choosing the type of match.

On this day, the annual website of Harbin University reappears, featuring the current members of the school team and opening up channels for challenges.

As the only freshman, Xiong Meng had all three shows booked the moment he came out, with the first one in the afternoon.

"Zhao Dezhu, an elite trainer majoring in archaeology, is a senior. This muscular man chose the wild fighting style, 3v3."

"The Pokémon are Golem, Dugtrio, and Blastoise."

In the classroom, Xiong Meng looked at the information of the opponent he was going to fight. Hmm, they seem alright.

On the other side, Zhao Dezhu was also reviewing the information. He saw that the person was the son of the gym leader, had served as a temporary gym leader, and had now obtained the Mega Evolution certification.

Damn, I didn't check the information beforehand. Who said freshmen are easy to beat? This doesn't seem like it's an easy fight at all?

I rushed back and acted impulsively, but now I realize it might have been better to have used someone else; they all seemed to have a better chance of winning.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the battle to begin. On the battlefield, Zhao Dezhu looked at Xiong Meng, who was 1.9 meters tall, and his expression darkened even more.

"Have you heard? Senior Zhao Dezhu just came back from outside a couple of days ago and immediately joined the battle, defeating everyone and grabbing the first spot in no time."

"I heard that Senior Zhao Dezhu spends most of his time away from home because of his major, and I heard that he has been preparing for a whole year just for this moment."

"I estimate that Xiong Meng's chances are slim, but the opponent's strength is at most at the junior year level."

"Hehe, you guys are thinking too simply. Do you know Xiong Meng's true strength? You can say it right here."

"Oh, brother, I'd like to hear more about it."

"Don't let Xiong Meng's status as a freshman fool you; he's a tough guy. Before the college entrance exam, he served as a temporary gym leader, and back then he was able to easily defeat an elite Serperior by commanding Heracross."

"Furthermore, the fact that they directly entered the rookie competition shows that their training is not to be underestimated. In addition, they are special ability users, and they also have the super evolution certificate that was updated a few days ago."

"With all of this combined, do you still think Xiong Meng is weak?"

"Wow, I never expected their resume to be so impressive, it's unbelievable. By the way, how did you know so much detail, bro?"

"Ahem, everyone wants to play a friendly match, but they give up after learning more about it."

Zhao Dezhu, who heard everything, said: "...."

Looking at the other person's relaxed expression, I felt even more pressured!

But the opportunity to bring glory to our ancestors is right in front of us; who would swallow this insult if we didn't try! Let's give it a shot!

The referee enters the arena and announces, "This match is a wild battle type, with a maximum of three Pokémon allowed. The arena is a rocky area!"

"No skill restrictions; the battle ends when both Pokémon and the trainer are unable to battle. Mega Evolution and other types are not restricted!"

"Please both sides enter!"

"Friendship first, competition second, please prepare yourselves... The match begins!!"

"Golem uses Rollout! Dugtrio digs a burrow! Blastoise guards nearby!"

Zhao Dezhu quickly assigned tactics: Golem to the front, Dugtrio to ambush from below, and Blastoise to provide ranged support and Guardian.

"Heracross, block Golem."

"Boom!" Heracross stood directly in front of Golem, forcefully stopping it from rolling.

Zhao Dezhu broke out in a cold sweat; this Heracross was quite formidable.

"A million-ton horn impact knocks it down!"

"Hera!" Heracross raised it high and rammed into it, sending the Golem flying backward.

"!!!"

"Rumble~" Its limbs stretched out, and circles appeared in its eyes.

With a single, effortless strike, the main force, Golem, was rendered incapable of fighting.

"Blastoise uses a rapid-fire water gun!"

"Kami!"

Several water jets came in succession, aimed directly at Heracross!

"Use the cleave skill to charge forward."

The calm command caused Heracross's arm to glow white, cleaving through all the incoming water guns, water cannons, and water ripples, before it charged swiftly toward Blastoise and Zhao Dezhu.

"Freeze Ray!"

"The swallow-like creature dodges and rapidly approaches!"

Seeing Heracross so close to the Crying Ruler, Zhao Dezhu knew he couldn't stop it, so he turned his attention to Kumamon, who hadn't yet released a second Pokémon.

At the very least, we can't lose so completely!

"The three gophers use Quicksand Hell!"

Xiong Meng's feet began to change, and then he saw his opponent move quickly to the side, leaping away from the area in a few big jumps.

And then, by conjuring a wave missile and hitting the center, Dugtrio, which is usually a tool Pokémon, was knocked down with a single blow and its eyes turned green when faced with the massive aura of the Ursaring.

Zhao Dezhu: Hmm!!!

What the hell?! Hand-crafted Wave Missile?! He's a Battle Specialist, a humanoid Pokémon!

While he was still in a daze, Heracross was already in front of him, using a megaton horn slam to send Blastoise flying, and stood in front of Zhao Dezhu staring at him.

"I surrender."

"Zhao Dezhu concedes defeat, and Xiong Meng wins this match!"

Wow, the battle was ended cleanly and efficiently with just one Pokémon, and the entire match lasted less than five minutes.

Those watching from above were stunned; good heavens, the strength was far beyond what they had imagined.

Especially the part about making energy balls by hand, which is the dream of so many people, it's absolutely amazing!

Xiong Meng sighed as he returned, "The battle is over, but it wasn't what I expected."

He had originally planned to dominate the battlefield, but it ended before he could even get started. He hoped he would have a chance to try his luck at Sakura's place.

The thought of meat colliding with meat is delightful.

After the first challenge ends, the next challenge will begin in at least one day and at most three days, but the timing is arranged by the other party.

What was supposed to be a one-day challenge suddenly turned into a three-day challenge. It seemed the other party was frightened and was thinking of a countermeasure. Xiong Meng didn't pay much attention to this and continued to work on his materials. He was already planning to finish the second-year materials as well, so he would have a lot of free time then.

After returning home, there was no live broadcast or anything else; everyone just did their own thing.

Very quickly, the next day the opponent had already decided on their strategy.

"A regular 3v3 tournament, where you can't switch to Pokémon battle mode. Senior, Wang Desheng."

"The time is next Tuesday. It seems like it's been arranged with the third person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have accepted the challenge if there wasn't enough time."

"The Pokémon are Aggron, Charizard, and Butterfree, all of which fit the arena mode. No wonder they chose this one." Xiong Meng nodded as he looked at the data. After seeing that the opponent did not have Mega Evolution, he nodded again. "Hmm, having one more mark than the opponent is good."

The scene shifts again to the day of the battle, where Xiong Meng arrives at the battlefield early, engrossed in reading a magazine.

The magazine is called "Cherry Blossom Two-Week Challenge: A Complete Guide" (anything that allows you to quickly enjoy cherry blossoms).
