Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

"Secondly, the host can wait until the evil scroll and the water scroll are collected together, and then combine them with the trial tower to create a water-evil tower that contains both powers. After the bear disciple passes the trial and reaches the top, he will master both powers and achieve perfect fusion!"

Upon hearing this method, Ye Chen's eyes lit up. This was undoubtedly the method he had been looking for that would allow his disciple Xiong to perfectly master the two forms of power.

The downside is that meeting the prerequisites is extremely difficult. Putting aside the Trial Tower, which I've never heard of, I don't know when the Water Scroll will be available. It will probably take a long time.

However, both methods require the Evil Scroll, so Ye Chen directly chose option one.

Getting the top score in the exam is nothing difficult!

Soon, the day that the whole nation was watching finally arrived, and countless senior high school students entered the examination hall with nervous and apprehensive feelings.

Parents braved the scorching sun to send their children into the examination hall, and then waited anxiously outside the school gate, even though they might not have sent their children to school for several years.

Ye's mother originally intended to send Ye Chen there, but Ye Chen refused.

He said, "It's alright, don't worry. It's just a small exam. Besides, I've already signed an agreement with Beijing University for your son. Even if he doesn't do well, he'll still get in."

So, at the school gate where countless students and parents were saying goodbye with their backpacks, an anomaly appeared.

Wearing a mask and sunglasses, without a backpack, dressed casually with only a pen in his pocket and four Poké Balls hanging from his waist, he walked into the campus with an easy stride, attracting frequent glances from the security guards at the gate.

If it weren't for his admission ticket and ID card, people would probably doubt whether he was actually a candidate for the college entrance examination.

Chapter 166 Outrageous College Entrance Examination Questions

The content of the college entrance examination is almost identical to that of the final exams, or rather, the final exams in regular semesters are designed to follow the college entrance examination format in order to help students adapt to this format in advance.

The amount of knowledge covered in academic and Pokémon theory classes is similar to that of the previous final exams, but the requirements for practical application are higher. After all, half a year has passed and the standards for Pokémon strength should be raised. As long as you train them well in the early stages, their strength will improve quite quickly.

Walking on campus, the environment was still the same, but the proctors and staff had all been replaced by teachers from other schools.

There was a special machine at the entrance of the examination room to check the candidates' identities. At the same time, all kinds of electronic devices were not allowed to be brought into the examination room. Ye Chen put in his ID card and pressed his fingerprint to confirm that he was the person in charge before he was allowed to enter.

The examination room was unusually quiet. All the candidates were studying diligently before the exam started. Just standing inside, you could feel the tense atmosphere.

After entering the examination room, Ye Chen went straight to his seat.

The other test takers around him found it very strange that this student was wearing sunglasses and a mask while taking the college entrance examination. Why was this person covering himself up so tightly? Was he trying to cheat?

Zhou Shenyao glanced curiously at the classmate sitting in front of him. Didn't he know that each classroom was monitored by a senior-level Psychic-type Pokémon? Cheating was practically impossible! Besides, the proctor wouldn't allow him to wear a mask and sunglasses during the exam.

However, it seems that the oppressive and tense atmosphere has lessened considerably since he came in.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shenyao kindly patted Ye Chen on the shoulder and said, "Classmate, there's a senior-level Psychic-type Pokémon monitoring every exam room during the college entrance examination, so..."

The boy, who had been completely concealing himself, turned around and smiled, saying, "Thank you, classmate—I understand."

Although his face was covered by a mask and huge sunglasses, Zhou Shenyao couldn't tell for some reason that the other person was smiling.

Hopefully this will make him give up the idea of ​​cheating, Zhou Shenyao thought to himself.

Soon after the proctor entered, the students stopped paying attention to Ye Chen; at this moment, the college entrance examination was clearly more important.

"The exam will begin in 15 minutes. Please put all unrelated items on the podium..." Before the proctor could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed that one of the candidates below was wearing sunglasses and a mask.

"What's wrong with that candidate? Please take off your mask and sunglasses. Your face must remain uncovered throughout the entire exam!"

"Teacher, my situation is a bit special."

The proctor was a rather strict middle-aged female teacher. She frowned and said, "No matter how special your situation is, rules are rules. Take off your sunglasses and mask!"

The other examinees were surprised by Ye Chen's assertiveness and looked at him with astonishment.

Ye Chen took his ID card, walked up to the proctor, handed it to her, and whispered a few words in her ear. The proctor's stern face instantly turned into one of surprise and hesitation.

She then hesitated before saying, "I need to ask my superiors about this." There was a hint of uncertainty in her voice, as if the other party's identity was far from simple.

She instructed another invigilator to pay attention to discipline in the examination room, and then hurriedly left the classroom to report the situation to the person in charge of the examination site. However, the person in charge did not dare to give a quick answer, so she reported it all the way to the person in charge of the Chengdu College Entrance Examination and finally received a reply.

Not long after, the proctor returned and whispered to Ye Chen, "You... you can wear a mask, but you must take off your sunglasses, and you can only wear the masks provided by us."

Ye Chen readily accepted: "No problem."

Ye Chen quickly put his mask back on and returned to his seat. The students in the examination room looked at him in surprise. Why was he still wearing a mask? Didn't the proctor care?

Zhou Shenyao had a feeling that this boy was hiding some secret, and she was curious to ask him, but she was afraid of being called out by the proctor, so she had to give up.

Not long after, the test papers were handed out. Zhou Shenyao wrote his name and glanced at the questions, finding that the questions seemed rather difficult this time.

The examination room was completely silent, with only the scratching of pens on paper. Everyone's attention was focused on the exam papers.

When Zhou Shenyao actually started working on the questions, he realized that these questions were not just difficult, but extremely difficult. This was probably the most difficult Elf Theory Exam in recent years, as many of the questions were not even mentioned in the textbooks.

·· ······Requesting 0 flowers ·

Does Beedrill's nature affect its ability effect?

What substance does the giant carnivore secrete in its mouth to dissolve food?

What can Pipi use to make himself float in the air?

Turning to the very end, the last major question on the exam paper was: "Please briefly describe your understanding of the Fairy type, and what impact the discovery of the Fairy type will have on the world?"

Fairy type is a new attribute that Ye Chen only recently revealed. There is no information about it in the textbook, so if you don't pay attention to current events, this question is a complete waste of points.

....... ......... .......

"Luckily, I read every single one of Ye Chen's papers!" Zhou Shenyao thought to herself with a sense of satisfaction.

Time passes by second by second, and people don't always notice the passage of time when they are focused on doing something.

Zhou Shenyao turned to the last page of the exam paper, breathed a sigh of relief, and realized that there were only two major questions left to answer.

Just then, the boy sitting in front of her suddenly stood up, took the test paper and placed it on the teacher's desk. Only then did Zhou Shenyao realize that an hour and a half had passed without her noticing, and it was time to hand in the paper.

But shouldn't he check it again? This is the college entrance exam!

The students in the exam hall looked up in surprise. This exam was so difficult, yet he finished and handed in his paper? Did he realize he couldn't cheat and just give up?

After handing in his paper, Ye Chen walked straight out of the examination room, picked up his belongings, and left.

The proctor looked up and sternly reprimanded, "What are you looking at? Focus on your own questions!" Only then did everyone lower their heads again and start working on the questions.

　Flying; Deer,: Little?!: Say';: Group"7.6."3;'4"8,0;"1,? Zhou Shenyao looked at the test paper with some doubt. When the boy walked out of the classroom just now, she saw his profile without sunglasses. He looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

After a while, she shook her head to banish the thoughts from her mind. The exam was the most important thing right now; she could think about anything else after the exam!

P.S.: The previous chapter was chapter 165; I accidentally made a typo.

Chapter 167 Water Ripple

The exam order was arranged according to the admission ticket number, and Zhou Shenyao's admission ticket number was next to Ye Chen's, so their positions did not change for the rest of the exam.

Zhou Shenyao watched as he handed in his papers as soon as the time was up in every exam, as if he didn't take the college entrance exam seriously at all.

Similarly, he still wore a mask during every exam, but the difference was that the proctors stopped asking him questions, and the other students in the same exam room got used to this strange student named "797" and talked about him behind his back.

There was one student in our exam room who had already given up on himself. Every exam, he would hand in his paper as soon as the time was up, which meant he probably knew he had little hope.

That's roughly what he said. Only Zhou Shenyao felt that this boy wasn't so simple. She couldn't explain why, but she just had that feeling.

All the theoretical and cultural exams have been completed; the next step is the practical exam for Pokémon.

Because there are just too many students taking the college entrance examination, with more than 80,000 in Chengdu alone, while there are only about a hundred examiners for the Elf Practical Exam. Even if each examiner examines a hundred people a day, it would still take eight days!

Therefore, the Pokémon battles implemented in the college entrance examination are battles against Pokémon that are not commanded by anyone, thus freeing up manpower.

Most of these Pokémon are at the senior level, and the examiners will then score the candidates based on their performance during the battle.

Generally speaking, being able to withstand one move from a senior-level Pokémon without being instantly defeated is considered passing. Being undefeated in five moves can earn a high score of 200 points. That's right, the maximum score for Pokémon combat in the college entrance examination is a full 300 points!

However, getting a perfect score isn't that easy; you need to be able to fight a veteran-level Pokémon to a standstill.

Since the start of the college entrance examination, very few people have been able to get full marks in this subject. If you do get full marks, even if you get zero in the theory and cultural subjects, countless top universities will be vying to admit you!

Because their admission ticket numbers were adjacent, Ye Chen and the other candidates in his exam room were assigned to the same testing site.

There are three invigilators in each examination room: one inside to score, and two outside to maintain order and prevent those who have finished the exam from sharing information about the exam wizard with those who haven't taken the exam yet.

Ye Chen's examination number was finally called, so he got up and walked into the practical examination room.

The system's task is to become the top scorer in Sichuan Province's college entrance examination. Since Ye Chen doesn't know how many points others can achieve, he can only try his best to get the highest score possible...

He was confident he could get full marks in the written exams for theory and cultural subjects, and he certainly wouldn't underestimate the practical exam. So, to ensure he got the highest score, Ye Chen released Milotic directly.

The Pokémon in charge of this exam venue was a veteran-level early-stage Magneton, which showed a hint of disdain when it saw that its opponent was a Water-type Pokémon.

As the proctor, who was acting as the referee, announced the start, Magneton launched a 100,000-volt attack directly at Milotic.

The Pokémon responsible for the assessment have to battle at least a hundred Pokémon every day. Although the Pokémon of these candidates are not very strong, it is enough to exhaust them.

Therefore, they don't hold back in battle; they all aim to end the fight as quickly as possible.

　0.1 Without Ye Chen needing to speak, Milotic's fan-shaped tail slammed into the ground, creating ripples even though there was no water on the ground, as if it had slammed into the surface of water. The ripples quickly approached Magneton, and then suddenly spewed out a violent stream of water from the ground!

Under the invigilator's horrified gaze, the incredibly powerful water jet carried the Magneton straight up to the ceiling, then blasted a large hole in it.

Chapter 168 Strategic Super Evolution

There was another exam room directly above this one. The people inside never expected that during the tense battle, a huge hole would suddenly appear in the ground, and a Magneton would be swept up by the violent water flow!

"What on earth is going on down there?" The proctor was startled by the scene, and the exam was forced to stop.
