Chapter 51: ch48
Assessment venue.
The battle continued.
It was mostly one-sided, with the examiner putting pressure on the novice Trainers. Everyone was complaining, and novice Trainers kept failing, giving up, and even trying to persuade their Pokémon to stand up through sheer will.
For novice Trainers, the examiner was too harsh and showed no mercy.
Despite this, Alex faced a different scenario. When the examiner battled Alex, he unexpectedly lost the first match and felt at a loss.
As the examiner commented, "Alex, your level is already very high, and you're fully qualified to receive a professional title. If you want to continue, I can give you an extra star after you pass."
The examiner was eager, holding his Poké Ball with anticipation, wanting to present stronger Pokémon to test Alex's abilities.
Moreover, he looked at Alex's Pokémon list. Alex also had a Charmeleon, his starter Pokémon. Given Riolu's strength, Charmeleon was likely even more formidable. The examiner saw Alex as a mega genius and wanted to engage in more battles with him.
"An extra star?" Alex shook his head, considering the offer.
The Professional Trainer title is divided into levels, with each level having one to five stars. By obtaining the Gym Badge of the corresponding stage, you can add a star. Accumulating five stars allows you to undergo a promotion assessment, making the process less challenging compared to direct assessment.
Some Trainers with less ability improve their titles step by step this way. However, Alex wasn't interested in this method.
"Thank you, but I choose not to continue."
Continue battling? No thanks. Alex was completely uninterested. He didn't want Charmeleon to cause too much destruction. Moreover, Alex planned to upgrade his professional title through direct assessment in the future, without worrying about saving up stars one at a time.
"In that case." The examiner was helpless. Alex's decision was final, and he wouldn't force him to fight.
"Alright, congratulations on passing the exam."
The examiner felt a bit regretful, but he wouldn't trouble a genius, especially one with rare Pokémon like starters and Riolu. He assumed Alex had a wealthy background and didn't want to risk his position as an examiner by offending him.
However, the examiner didn't know that Alex's family was just ordinary people.
"Thanks," Alex said, bowing slightly to express his gratitude to the referees and observers before exiting.
"This guy is good."
"He has a promising future."
"Alex? I wonder which family he belongs to."
"I don't know. There are quite a few Elites and gym leaders with the last name Smith in the country."
"..."
Unbeknownst to Alex, after he left, the referees and observers were discussing him.
After exiting, Alex received his professional trainer qualification certificate the same day.
"Junior level."
"Hey, I'm a professional trainer now."
Alex took a photo of the certificate and sent it to his friends to make them envious. Then he called his parents to let them know he was safe.
Initially, his family didn't agree with Alex choosing Trainer as his major. They talked about the dangers and the cost of resources, which the family couldn't afford. But before Alex's journey, his predecessor was stubborn and conflicted with his family. Despite their disagreement, they gritted their teeth, paid for his tuition, and had little contact with him since.
In this, Alex felt he had resolved a small issue for his predecessor.
"Who are you showing off to?" Wendy came over, patting Alex on the shoulder and smiling.
Elesa also approached.
Hearing this, Alex rolled his eyes. "Now, my mom wants to talk to you."
With whom? Of course, his mom.
"Uh..." Wendy was taken aback, her face turning red as a blush spread quickly. She was at a loss.
"Yes, yes, it's your mom."
Wendy looked like a flustered little daughter-in-law. Elesa laughed, taking the phone from Alex naturally. "Hello, ma'am, I'm Alex's senior. My name is Elesa."
"The one before?" Elesa narrowed her eyes, glancing at Wendy. This little girl was quite shy.
Wendy waved her hand at Elesa. "She's Alex's classmate. She's just shy right now."
"Why is she shy?"
"Ma'am, don't you know?"
"..."
Elesa, ever the social butterfly, chatted happily with Alex's mom, while Wendy blushed as red as a fire monkey's face.
After hanging up, Wendy returned to her usual self, playfully challenging Elesa to a duel. Alex chuckled internally, knowing what Wendy was thinking.
"Alright," Alex said, waving his hand and taking a taxi back to school. His coupe could only seat two, leaving no room for a third person. Alex had to take a taxi.
In the car, Alex skillfully opened the Pokémon app and registered an account in the marketplace. Previously, he couldn't register without a professional trainer qualification certificate. This time, he succeeded.
"ID?" Alex thought for a moment, then entered a name.
"Flash Man!"
Flash Man, as the name suggests, is a title similar to Fighter or Breeder. In this life, Alex would start as a Flash Man.
"Besides," Alex thought, "I'll put these two Shiny Pokémon up for sale first." The market value of Shiny Oddish and Shiny Meowth is quite high, especially the Shiny Oddish with pink leaves, which many young trainers covet.
