Chapter 22

The second round of group matches will take place on Wednesday night.

Before this, Luke gave final exams for several Magic City University courses.

Several elective courses are offered, including "Pokémon Breeding", "Pokémon Battle", and "Sinnoh Pokémon History".

As a result of Luke's fooling Professor Rowan in "History of Sinnoh Pokémon", he won the first grade without any surprises.

There will be two remaining courses on Monday and Tuesday.

I don't mind if it interferes with Wednesday's game.

Whatever the case may be, Luke had a valid reason for abandoning the game.

During a final training session for "Pokémon Breeding", the first-year Finance students introduced the final training to the class.

Grey-haired professor patrols the examination room.

In the examination room, four Berry mixers are arranged in four groups.

The content of the exam is the production of Pokéblock.

As candidates gathered around the rumbling machine, nervous expressions filled their faces, their eyes fixed on the machine.

In Pokéblock, where teamwork is required, any mistakes will cause a production failure!

"Haha—"

Luke's audible yawn in the silent room caught the attention of others.

The professor glanced at Luke and said indifferently: "Pay attention to the time."

Luke's group consists of only three people.

As Damien wiped the sweat from his forehead, he complained: "Twain, didn't you say you learned this?"

Twain said with a bitter smile: "how would I know you will make mistakes so many times!"

The number of mistakes made by the producer determines the quality of the Pokéblock.

The difficulty of making Pokéblock solo is bound to be much greater than that of making it with a team.

According to Twain, he could always assist Damien based on his experience.

He absolutely did not expect brother Damien to be unhelpful'

Luke teased, "Well, you two don't work, so I'll come.".

"Be an honest and obedient scumbag!"

Twain was overjoyed and hid away as soon as he heard Luke's words.

Damien holds firmly onto the machine as he righteously exclaims: "No, we are a team! "

Luke smirked.

Ten minutes later.

The professor lowered the frame, looked carefully at the finished products of Luke's group, and said lightly.

''The crystal clear and near-transparent Oran Berry cube is only half a step away from the top rank quality!''

The professor glanced at Luke and the others, and said, "You really did it yourself?"

'Of course!' Damien patted his chest and said, "It's all up to us three!"

Afterwards, the professor nodded, bowed his head, and recorded 90 points for the trio.

Twain stared wide-eyed incredibly.

90 points?!

None of the students at Pokémon Academy next to him got such a high score!

When Twain exits the classroom, his spirit has not yet recovered, and he trembles: "We three...90 points?"?"

Luke looked weird: "It could have been 100 points."

"Yes! We could have gotten full marks if we hadn't wasted our first attempt." Damien said with a loud voice.

"I..."

''There's no doubt that I still have an innate talent for making Pokéblocks."

Damien rubs his chin, and muttered, "Or I can also work in a breeding department?"

Luke laughed without saying a word.

Luke's [Pokéblock Craft Lv3] has been upgraded by Level 1 again, and it is now [Lv4].

[Pokéblock Craft Lv4: Your chance of making a Pokéblock of perfect quality is lower, and you are more likely to succeed at making Pokéblocks (your craftsmanship is comparable to that of a coordinated Master)]

Luke discovered only recently that proficiency can be upgraded to increase Ability.

Luke's Pokéblock can be sold for a high price because Lv4 belongs to the Master level.

However, a professional license is required to sell Pokéblock.

Additionally, Luke cannot devote a year or two to completing a nutritionist or physician's course.

In the end, these Pokéblocks can only be cheaper for Luke's own Pokémon.

On the same day, Luke's team was announced as the winner, and it deserved the honour.

Damien couldn't help but feel dizzy when the happiness suddenly appeared.

In an excited tone, Twain grabbed Luke's hand and told him, "Next time, I'll be your sidekick!"

Damien said righteously, "Me too!".

—

Luke returned to his house that night.

Seeing Gastly fixated on the scroll, Luke suddenly shivered with fright.

"My ancestors, please don't touch that stuff!"

The good news is that Gastly has not studied [Blue's Breeder's Handbook] in depth.

When the breeder's handbook is licked clean, it is estimated that it will be time to gnaw [poison experience].

There is a bit of timidity in Luke.

He tried to make a Pokéblock out of Leppa Berry. He used five Leppa Berries in total, but none were perfect.

Luke muttered, "This lower probability seems very low.".

On the other side of Gastly, a pot full of Pokéblocks was swept into his mouth...

Gastly: choke(*⊙~⊙)

"Fuck, how could you eat so much? "

" wait tonight for sudden death!"

Leppa Berry promotes excitement.

During the night, howls like wolves and wails like ghosts were heard on the construction site next door and lasted until dawn.

Tuesday morning, 2nd day.

In order to take the final exam for the "Pokémon Battle" class, Luke rushed to the campus.

The exam is held at Magic City University's Competitive Center.

As a college-level battle venue, the equipment and protective measures are quite complete.

However, most of the stadiums at the athletic centre are not open to students and are used only for college competitions.

It is possible to use some Primary Rank venues, but you must make reservations in advance.

Upon his arrival at the exam site, Luke saw a large group of people surrounding the venue, all students from the same class.

A peaked hat-wearing sports teacher shouted loudly: "Classmates, shall we take a test tomorrow? "

There was resentment in the crowd.

"Teacher, I've got another class tomorrow!"

"Yes, hasn't it already been booked, why did you change your mind again?"

As his mouth twitched in frantic annoyance, Luke slammed Damien: "Brother Damien, what's up?"."

Brother Damien scratched his head and said, "It seems that the Battle Department needs additional training, temporarily occupying the stadium."

There is no way because these people specialize in this." Damien shrugged. "Going back to the bedroom to play games!"

As Luke was about to leave, he noticed a commotion in front of him.

A girl in the finance department with a good imposing manner stepped forward and theorized: "Obviously we made an appointment first!"

"The Battle Department's priority is first. It's written in the rules of use."

There was an incident during the game, but now it's different!"

The teacher assures students: "Don't get excited, let's talk about it!"

"Talk about it! Are you watching us being bullied?"

As the situation deteriorated, a girl with a single ponytail left the stadium.

"I'm also a girl, I'm here to talk."

As he poked Luke, Twain whispered: "That's who I mentioned to you, Fairy Type Aristocratic Family Angela Shen!"

Although this is no league season, school teams have priority access to the stadium."

''I am a member of the freshman school team," Angela Shen remarks.

After these words were spoken, the situation calmed down for a moment.

Magic University Battle Department actually has a freshman.

That's really strong!

Is the school team awesome?" Damien asked, "But you are the only one who can use it, not your class!

"Yes, of course!"

''Please don't discuss other things until we have an appointment."

''The school team is nothing to be proud of." Angela Shen frowned. "If any of you can beat me, I won't be on it."

Damien retracted angrily after being choked.

The situation was quiet for a while.

The teacher hurriedly calmed them down and said: '' students why don't you come back later!"

It was at this moment that a flurry of red light emerged from the Poké Ball.

With bloodshot eyes, Gastly panted.

In spite of last night's Leppa Berry medicine efficacy, hasn't subsided yet!

Suddenly, all eyes were on Luke.

Silently, Luke squeezed the Poké Ball.

Gastly you little bastard.

forcing me to shoot!
