The Test

A/N: I realized that most of my pat-rons come at the beginning of the month as they think that they would be charged at every 1st of the month.

That was the case before but now I have changed the setting so you guys would only be charged on that date only.

"There are 2 reasons for the evaluation. First, make sure that you have personally trained the Pokemon. Many rich kids would just buy the Pokemon at the black market and then get ready to get the certificate.

The second is to test your loyalty to your Pokemon. If you have mistreated your Pokemon or just bought it from the market, the loyalty would be low which would be a disaster to the trainer and his surrounding if the Pokemon got loose and started to destroy. Elemental-rank Pokemon have the power to destroy a small city if they are given enough time. We don't want such a thing to happen.", said Rajiv

Axel nodded his head in understanding.

"Are you ready for the test?"

"Yes, I am."

"Alright, follow Klara. She would handle your evaluation."

Axel followed the old woman to a room. The room was fairly lit and it was as big as a small-sized hall.

"You can now take out your Pokemon", said Klara.

Axel threw the ball and Beedrill came out. Klara threw her ball and Hypno came out. Klara was shocked by the size of this Beedrill. It was almost 10 feet tall and it was shiny. She had seen many weird things on her job, but this was the time she had seen such a big shiny Beedrill.

However, Kalara was a professional. She maintained her posture and said, "I am going to use Hypno to use physic on your Beedrill. Tell your Beedrill to calm its mind."

Axel nodded and told Beedrill. Hypno's eyes started to change color. It started to get purple. Axel could feel that Hypno was a powerful Pokemon. It took a couple of minutes and Hypno got back to normal.

"You have passed the test. The loyalty of your Pokemon is extremely high. It seemed to be developed very well. There are a lot of trainers that love their Pokemon but very few have the knowledge to train them properly. You have trained your Beedrill exceptionally well.

Before the second test begins, if you have other Pokemons who are in elemental rank, you are suggested to show it. It is not compulsory but showing another Pokemon of elemental rank might give you more rewards."

Axel shook his head saying that he didn't have one. Shedinja was mutated. So, Axel didn't want Hypno to use physic against it. Shedinja was also a trump card of Axel. He wanted to hide it as much as possible.

"Now for the second test, please cross this room, you would meet our other staff there." said Klara showing him the way.

He carefully passed the door and reached a huge stadium. Axel was surprised that a building could have such a huge stadium. It was a battle arena with many seats and a field in the middle.

A young man was waiting on the opposite side of the battle arena. The stadium was empty.

"Hello, my name is Rajesh. This test would be to determine if your Pokemon is trained well. It is necessary for the trainer camp to know the standard of the trainer's Pokemon. We will just have a short battle. You don't have to defeat me. If I feel that you are up to the standard then you would pass."

"Let's begin the battle!"

Axel called out Beedrill and the guy name Rajesh called out Arbok. This Arbok was also in elemental rank. The battle didn't take much. It only continued for 5 minutes. Beedrill and Arbok were in a stalemate.

Though Beedrill had just ranked up, it had trained hard. With the effect of 'Resolve II', its body and flexibility were on the higher side. But this Arbok was no joke. It seemed experienced and Rajesh was also a good trainer.

"Stop!, this is enough to know about your Pokemon powers. You have passed the test. Congratulations, you have become an advanced trainer.", said Rajesh.

The test was simple. After starting his journey every move of his had been riddled with an interesting plot or a challenge. He had half expected that to be the case today too but he was wrong. Axel enjoyed his peace and then decided to move.

However, not to his knowledge, something interesting was happening.

Somewhere in a dark room,

"Koga was right. That little guy is very interesting."

"Yes mam, It is estimated that he could have another Pokemon in elemental rank."

"Oh really?"

"Yes, mam."

"If that is true, I would have to think about investing in him. What do you think Som?"

"It would be a correct choice lady Agatha. But I would suggest that we observe him for some time."

"Yes, that would be better."

New powerhouses were now showing interest in Axel. One of them was Agatha, a member of elite 4. Currently, Agatha was the strongest and the oldest elite 4 members of the Kanto region. She was a ghost type trainer and an old rival of Prof. Oak.

Things were getting interesting now.
