The dream of becoming a Pokémon master

Due to the order of registration, Ash took the practical exam before Kyosuke.

Ash's Pokémon were quite interesting, or perhaps it was a very serendipitous encounter.

Ash randomly received Team Rocket's Pokémon: Weezing, Arbok, and Meowth, while the Pokémon he faced against the examiner were the evolved forms of Eevee's three evolution stones: Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon.

Ash learned the moves of two Pokémon besides Meowth from his numerous battles of wits with Team Rocket. He defeated Flareon with the explosive power of Koffing, but Arbok was defeated because Jolteon's spikes rendered its binding ineffective and instead injured itself. As for Meowth…

Ash was surprised to learn that Meowth could fight! Team Rocket's Meowth can't do anything except talk!

At the start of the battle, Ash's skillful use of Weezing to defeat Flareon with Flamethrower was quite impressive. However, once Arbok made a misjudgment, there was no chance to salvage the situation. As for Meowth... well, let's not talk about it.

Was it fair to say that James's use of Weezing was more helpful to Ash than Jessie's command of Arbok? Or was James also a seasoned trainer? Kyosuke pondered this question.

After the practical test, Ash's performance was only average. If he had done even a little better in the theory test, he would have been able to obtain the qualification badge.

But even a small amount is an insurmountable barrier for Ash.

After finishing the exam, Xiaozhi was not discouraged, after all, he is a person who is always positive and optimistic.

"Kyosuke, do your best!" Ash shouted to Kyosuke, then ran towards Misty and Brock.

Kyosuke waved to Ash and walked to where Ash had been standing.

"Let's begin," the examiner said to Kyosuke with a smile.

"Then, I choose you!" Kyosuke took the first Poké Ball from his belt!

It's a stinky flower!

So, this is my choice!

The Six-Tails has arrived!

"Just as I expected, the examiners always choose Pokémon with the superior type for the battle, simply because they're afraid of losing and looking too bad." Kyosuke had already guessed this tactic.

"The opponent is fire-type, so I need to..."

"Kyosuke doesn't have any Grass-type Pokémon, right?" Brock asked Ash.

Ash paused for a moment, then thought carefully: "I remember Professor Oak saying that Kyosuke has Charizard, Butterfree, Spearow (I don't know if it's evolved yet), Nidorino, Glaceon, Dratini, and the ancient Pokémon that Big Fool caught last time. It seems like he really doesn't have any Grass-types!"

Xiaoxia looked at Xiong Jie in the arena and said worriedly, "Won't Xiong Jie be in trouble?"

Ash waved his hand: "Don't worry, Kyosuke knows Grass-types very well."

Why?

"Well, I don't know either."

Oh my god! Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were speechless about Xiaozhi.

"Pikachu?" Pikachu tilted its head and glanced at Ash.

"Oinkbloom, Sleeping Powder."

For unfamiliar Grass-type Pokémon, the Dust tactic is a relatively safe option.

The stinky flower shook itself, and a patch of orange powder began to spread from its stamen.

Of course, its own scent also spread out.

"Ugh! It stinks!"

"I can't take it anymore!"

"Why are there stinky flowers?!"

"Ugh..."

The examiner opposite him also found the smell a bit unbearable.

All the Poké Balls for the examinees and examiners were uniformly distributed by the League. He himself did not know what Pokémon would be there, he only knew that his was of a higher level than the opponent's.

But looking at the Six-Tails in the arena, it's almost at its limit!

"Six-Tails, use Flamethrower!" The examiner covered his mouth and nose as he gave the order to Six-Tails!

However, it was already too late!

While he was distracted by the stench, the Six-Tails had already been hypnotized!

"The first round is over," Kyosuke said to the examiner.

He was clearly the person closest to the stinky flower, yet he seemed completely unaffected by the stench, acting as if nothing was wrong. This is also why the surrounding audience, despite finding the smell unbearable, didn't leave.

"Stinky Flower, Petal Dance!"

The stinky flower didn't move.

"A shower of falling petals!"

It still hasn't moved.

"Then let's use the Leaf Blade."

Gloom successfully used Razor Leaf! The effect was mediocre! Vulpix didn't wake up!

Gloom used Razor Leaf again! The effect was mediocre! Vulpix fell!

"Vulpix, come back." The examiner covered his nose and mouth, his voice sounding strange. He recalled Vulpix with one hand, then pulled out another Poké Ball. "Next is you!"

It's Pidgey!

"Come back, Gloom." Kyosuke put Gloom back, and there was a moment of relaxed breathing.

He's finally alive again! The onlookers were in tears.

"You're next!"

Vine Monster!

Are they all Grass-type? And they're both weak to it. But since they're Grass-type, I won't lose!

Since Kyosuke changed his Pokémon, the right to attack first has now fallen into the hands of the examiner.

"Pidgeotto, Wing Attack!"

"Vine Monster, vine whips, bind them tightly!"

Pidgey's wings flashed, and it flew straight to Vine Monster, hitting it!

By the time the Vine Monster unleashed its Vine Whip, Pidgey had already taken to the air again.

"When choosing moves, we must also consider the basic conditions of both sides in terms of various aspects. We can't just think about hitting the target." Observing the difference in speed between the two sides, the uncle, who felt that he would not be defeated again, decisively spoke up to show his reputation.

"Pidgeotto, unleash another wing attack!"

"Vine Monster, aim for the left and use Vine Whip!" Kyosuke observed Pidgeotto's flight path and gave the order again!

Pidgey swooped down, its wing striking the Vine Monster once more! However, just as it tried to return to the sky, two vines suddenly shot out and bound it!

"Poppy, break free!"

"Vine Monster, Absorb!" Kyosuke learned from his previous mistake and used Absorb, a move that was guaranteed to never fail!

Despite being bound by the vines and subjected to their frantic sucking, the Pidgey finally collapsed.

The examiner retrieved Pidgey and said to Kyosuke with a complicated expression, "Based on your written test score and the two excellent practical battles you just fought, you're qualified for the badge. But I still hope you can finish all the practical battles."

If a test taker completely outclasses the examiner's Pokémon with their own Pokémon having the opposite type, I'd definitely be relegated to some remote place! I don't want that!

In the end, it all comes down to your own Pokémon! At least win once!

The examiner didn't choose the examiner Pokémon he had received earlier, but instead took out his own Poké Ball from his pocket: "Please, Arcanine!"

"Come back, Tentacruel." Kyosuke took out the last Poké Ball. "Please!"

Bulbasaur makes its appearance!

It really was a Grass-type triple attack!
