In this miraculous world where humans and Pokémon coexist, the psychic also welcomes his opportunity... or encounter when he goes out to relax again.
[While you were taking a walk, you vaguely heard a muffled cry for help. You ran over and found that a five or six-year-old child holding a Pokémon had accidentally fallen into the river. There were several other children of similar age standing on the shore, looking extremely terrified.]
By the river bank, the man with super powers directed the children to seek help from adults, while he took off his clothes and tried to go into the water to rescue them.
Unfortunately, he was too weak.
[You swam for a while, but found that you didn't have enough energy to bring the drowned child and Pokémon back, so you had no choice but to give up.]
The man with super powers returned to the shore and looked at the adults who had not arrived yet, and placed his hope on his own super powers.
[You try to use your superpowers to pull the drowning person out, but unfortunately your inferior superpowers that can't even bend a spoon are completely incapable of saving them. You can only watch them sink...]
When the narration freezes.
The pixel men and pixel Pokémon drowning in the river were suddenly wrapped in a blue light, flew out of the river, and returned to the shore.
The psychic was surprised.
[You looked at your hands in disbelief, and the children around you cheered and exclaimed, but you came to your senses and knew that this was definitely not something you could do.]
He turned around with self-awareness and vaguely saw a dark shadow leaving in the woods near the river.
[You see an adult approaching, so you try to catch up with that figure]
"This is……"
Baimu was stunned. The black shadow flashed across the screen very quickly, but he could vaguely see that it was round.
The person with super powers obviously couldn't run away. He had already wasted a lot of energy in the river before, and after being chased like this, he fell to the ground with a thud.
He never thought that his fall would lead to the black shadow coming closer to him.
It's a chubby hypnotic tapir.
As a Pokémon that feeds on dreams, especially children's dreams, it is reasonable for it to save a drowning child.
The prostrate psychic stared at the hypnotic tapir.
[You look at the hypnotic tapir, and somehow you take out a spoon from your pocket and use your superpowers—the spoon bends, the hypnotic tapir laughs, and you laugh too]
You became friends.
Are you finally going to start traveling?
Kashiwagi blinked, thinking he could see the growth history of a trainer similar to Manchong.
Unfortunately, the weakness and sickliness of people with super powers are deeply engraved in their bones.
On the night he rescued the drowning child, he fell seriously ill because he did not dry himself in time after going into the water and getting out of the shore. He was bedridden for a whole week, and during this period he maintained contact with the hypnotic tapir.
Even the hypnotic tapir came directly to his house.
On the day when the super power user recovered, he successfully made the hypnotic tapir his partner.
[You have tamed the Hypnotic Tapir, and your companions with supernatural attributes have increased]
After becoming a trainer, the psychic naturally developed an interest in the Quartz Conference. However, his physical condition was obviously not enough to support him traveling around. Even commanding battles and training Pokémon were very physically demanding tasks.
Therefore, the superpower person decided to start exercising.
"Are you more motivated now that you have Pokémon?"
Kashiwagi looked at the screen with some anticipation, but he didn't know how far he could train in such a short time...
The screen rotates.
It finally stopped on a certain day.
It’s not that the superpower person’s physical training has produced results, but if he wants to participate in this year’s Quartz Conference, there will not be enough time if he doesn’t set off now.
Only three months left.
For a trainer like a Psychic who has zero training experience and a very weak constitution, challenging eight gyms in three months is almost impossible, not to mention there is only one Pokémon.
[You start to consider whether to join the Quartz Alliance again next year]
Nest grass.
Is this a guarantee for me?
Kashiwagi grinned. In simulations, every improvement in score was a profit, and getting a guaranteed score was the most unfriendly thing.
Fortunately, after learning of his idea, the parents of the superpower user jokingly pointed out a way for him -
【Pokémon Certification Exam】
That is, the combined scores of the written test and the battle test are used to assess whether a trainer has passed. Those who pass can obtain a qualification badge to challenge the Pokémon League, without having to collect all eight badges.
This kind of exam is specially designed for those who are very busy at work or who cannot travel around due to age or physical condition. In the animation, even Miss Joy from Asuka City has taken it.
If a psychic wants to participate in the Quartz Conference today, it might be a good choice to pass the Pokémon Certification Exam to obtain the qualification.
Kashiwagi personally does not agree with this approach.
After all, traveling and even gym battles are beneficial to the growth of trainers, but the psychic seems very interested and has even started preparing.
[You decide to take the Pokémon certification exam and start reading]
Evil way...
Kashiwagi thought, you only have one Hypnotist, even if you pass the Pokémon certification exam, how can you participate in the Quartz Conference? You have to get six Pokémon, right?
As if he had heard his thoughts, the psychic in the simulation was trying to capture new Pokémon with the hypnotic tapir while taking a break from reading.
One was actually captured by a superpowered person——
[You have captured Starfish, and your team has more partners]
The psychic found Starfish on the riverbank. Starfish was basking in the sun at the time. Before he could react, he was covered in the face by the hypnotic tapir's illusion light, and then the psychic hit his core gem with a Poké Ball.
The taming process was smooth.
Having tasted the sweetness, the psychic user immediately decided to capture a third Pokémon - also with psychic attributes.
After all, Hypnotist has a psychic attribute, and Starfish has a psychic attribute after evolving, so the third Pokémon must also have a psychic attribute.
[You want to capture Casey, so in your free time, you take the bus to various Pokémon Centers every day to collect information about its sightings while reading a book.]
Once a person with superpowers makes up his mind, he will work very hard, and his perseverance is also very terrifying. However, there is a saying that fate plays tricks on people. Cassie was not met by him, but Slowpoke successfully met one.
Based on the principle that all Pokémon have psychic attributes, the psychic user captured it after a fierce battle with it.
[You have captured Slowpoke, and your companions with psychic attributes have increased.]
at the same time.
[Your hypnotic tapir evolved into a dream-inducing tapir]
It seems that the long-term accumulation has finally caused the transformation of Hypnotic Tapir, and at this point in time, there is less than a month left before the opening of the Quartz Conference.
The psychics had to set off to the Pokémon League Testing Center to register.
The scene changes.
The psychic came to a huge building.
[You came to the Pokémon League Inspection Center, where you saw many young people like you who were not in good health, as well as many elderly people, office workers, etc. The staff member who greeted you was a strong giant, and you were very envious of him.]
Kashiwagi remembered that the contents of the certification exam were extremely outrageous.
I wonder if the simulation will give the screen——
It turns out.
It gave.
[You come to the examination room and take the exam with 300 other candidates. Soon you face the first question of the written test - picture judgment question]
The super-powered person sat in front of the computer, and the simulator very kindly switched the perspective to behind him, of course, still in a pixel perspective.
[Question 1: There is always one broken egg in the egg, true or false]
[Question 2000: Tyrannosaurus Rex can survive in -degree lava, true or false]
[Question 3: Casey can only teleport, true or false]
[Question 4: Double gas bombs will have three gas bombs as an individual, true or false]
……
"It's all about the first generation Pokémon. It seems like there's not even any from the Johto region. Is it because this is the Quartz Conference in Kanto that we only rely on the Kanto Scroll?"
After taking a look at the questions, Kashiwagi realized that he didn't know the answers to many of them. The main reason was that the questions were too tricky, as if they were nitpicking and required the trainer to know every inch of Pokémon.
The second stage of the written test - [Graphic Analysis] is the same. A Pokémon is photographed at a death angle, and then you are told that it is actually another Pokémon.
For example, its outer contour looks like walking grass, and it looks like walking grass, but it is actually a Geodude squatting in the grass.
It's so painful.
Surprisingly, the superpower user’s written test results seemed to be very good, it seems that the reading of books in the past few months was not in vain.
However, after the written test, his weak point emerged.
【Pokémon Battle】.
The psychic user had not fought many Pokémon battles, and his poor physical strength was not enough to support him in training Pokémon day and night to enhance his practical experience, so that he was defeated by the examiner in the third round of battle.
Even the Pokémon he used were the examiner's Pokémon, not the Dream-Inducing Tapirs.
The exam is over.
[You look at the words "failed the exam" and feel a little depressed, but the Dream Tapirs comfort you and tell you that you might as well accumulate knowledge this year and start over again by passing the gym challenge next year.]
【You agreed】
The simulation ends.
Four big characters are clearly visible on the screen.
"Ah? Ah???" Kashiwagi was stunned, standing there in a daze.
Is the simulation over?
Oh yeah, I won't be attending this year's league meeting, so that's it...
Don't bring this! It feels like I didn't see anything!
