Chapter 16

After chatting for a bit, Darren and his friends gained a preliminary understanding of Wallace's personality.

From Wallace's words, Darren also learned why he came to be evaluated as a breeder.

Wallace took his friend's advice and hoped to increase his own strength through the practice of breeding.

"My friend is an intermediate breeder, but she has even greater talent in being a trainer" Wallace said.

Darren understood that not only he knew that, but also many talented trainers and coordinators, recognized the importance of breeding knowledge and used it to enrich their own resources.

"The qualifiers for the first round, please gather immediately at the second round assessment point."

The message was repeated three times, and the location of the second assessment was announced. They stopped their conversation and headed to the second assessment point.

Wallace, Willow, and Darren walked together and attracted a lot of attention. Even the exam supervisors who were secretly watching them couldn't help but look forward to the next round of evaluations for these three geniuses.

The location of the second assessment was a large courtyard behind the headquarters.

The order was still overseen by the exam supervisor of the first round written test.

After everyone arrived, a middle-aged man announced the topic of the second assessment again: "Emergency rescue, as you already know, but for the specifics, please see here."

As soon as the man finished speaking, a group of green sprites walked out where the qualifiers could see.

"These are...Oddish..." Someone exclaimed in surprise at the sight of the sprites.

"Oh my god, there are probably nearly a hundred Oddish," someone counted the number of Oddish and felt incredulous.

"Are they our second assessment topic?" Most people asked their own questions when they saw this scene.

But he guessed almost right. The middle-aged man in charge of the whole assessment nodded and said, "Yes, this group of Oddish is your second assessment topic."

At this point, Darren and his friends also glanced at these Oddish and concluded, "They are ordinary Oddish."

Seeing everyone's doubts, he continued, "There are a total of eighty-eight Oddish here. Next, each of you will be assigned one, and you will also be given a potion specially prepared by a senior breeder for this assessment."

"This potion can simulate the burn caused by a special move. After using this potion on the Oddish, you will have 15 minutes to solve their injuries using the materials we provide. Once it exceeds 20 minutes, the burn on the Oddish will become more severe. So, your time is only 15 minutes. Anyone who cannot solve it within this time will be considered unqualified."

"At the same time, exam supervisor will evaluate you based on the different effects and times it takes to solve the burns. Those who score 85 or higher will pass this assessment and obtain a certificate as a junior breeder."

The audience was in an uproar. No one expected the emergency rescue assessment to take this form. This was the first time in many years that such a form had been used. Eighty-eight Oddish and eighty-eight bottles of potion specially prepared by senior breeders were used. The Breeder Headquarters had really gone all out this time.

"Do you have any questions?" The man asked after a moment of silence. No one spoke, but it was clear that everyone was extracting necessary information from the man's words.

Oddish, burn...

These details were not overlooked by the present candidates.

Anyone who had passed the first round of assessment was not an ordinary person who would try to take advantage of the situation. The pass rate for junior breeders was lower than that for intermediate or even senior breeders. This was a basic issue. Once the groundwork was established, one could devote considerable time to study and reach the later stages, with the exception of reaching the level of a master in the future.

But those who could become junior breeders were all the best of the best, related to talent.

Currently, there are only over ten thousand registered breeders in the league, while the population of the Hoenn region alone is in the millions.

"So, this is the topic of this assessment," Darren said excitedly after the middle-aged man finished speaking. He also wanted to see how far he could go in this situation.

"It seems that both of you are very confident." Willow smiled and looked at Darren and Wallace, who did not show any signs of nervousness.

"Of course, as a breeder, one must always maintain a peaceful mindset and demeanor," Wallace said.

"Let's go pick out our Oddish and get our potions," Darren said to the two of them as he watched the candidates start to move.

"Okay, let's go!" Willow shouted.

All eighty-eight Oddish were basically the same. They were probably raised by the Breeder Headquarters since their pollen and the saliva of their evolved form, Gloom, were valuable materials.

"Wish me luck" Darren said as he took his potion and led an Oddish away. The Oddish knew its mission, but fortunately, the burn effect caused by the senior breeder's potion would not cause serious harm to it in a short period of time, giving the candidates ample time to complete the task.

Carrying a Oddish with him, Darren arrived at his designated spot and saw all the materials he could use. There were about twenty different kinds of materials, but of course, he couldn't use them all. As for how to combine them and get the best effect, it would depend on the choices of the candidates.

Once everyone was ready, the middle-aged man reiterated the rules and warned the candidates not to mix medicines haphazardly due to time constraints unless they were confident enough, or else they would be subject to a lifetime ban from taking the exam.

Finally, the exam began, and the countdown clock for fifteen minutes started ticking. Darren first said something to Oddish and, after confirming that it was ready, quickly applied the medicine to its leaves.

Next, he had to determine the best medicine based on Oddish's condition!

There are many reasons for burns, and different types of burns require different methods of treatment to have the best effect. However, this does not mean that other burn medicines are useless. The most famous one is the basic universal medicine is a Burn Heal. Although the effect may not be the best, it can be used for all known burns.

First, Darren smelled the scent of the medicine, and then he looked at Oddish. "Oddish, how do you feel?"

After half a minute, Darren stopped and began to ask about Oddish's feelings. Although Oddish wanted to cooperate with Darren as much as possible, Darren had difficulty understanding what Oddish was trying to express, so he had to observe based on its subtle changes.

First, Darren observed the expression of Oddish, the change in the color of its leaves, the main ingredients of the medicine he knew, and the time it took to react to burns. He recalled the pharmacology while reasoning methodically.
