Pokémon League Admission Exams

Pokémon League Admission Exams

The gang were having a picnic. Todd had taken several pictures of their Pokémon during his travels with them.

"You guys really have a lot of well-raised Pokémon." Todd complimented

"Thanks." Ash said

"Hey Ash, have you ever thought about taking the Pokémon League Admission Exams?" Todd asked

"Pokémon League Admission Exams?" Ash repeated

"At the Pokémon League Admission Center, they evaluate applicants based on a written & practical skills exam. If you pass the exam, you receive a badge that qualifies you for the Pokémon League." Todd explained

"What do you say, Ash? You wanna give it a try?" Serena said

"Sure." Ash said

When they got to the Pokémon League Admission Center

"Here's your testing number." The instructor said as he gave Ash his testing number

"Alright, lucky number 7." Ash said excitedly

"Also, you'll have to leave your Pokémon here with me." The instructor said "Using your own Pokémon in the exams is not permitted."

"I'll take care of your Pikachu & Meowth while you're taking the exams, Ash." Brock said

"Okay." Ash said as he gave the instructor the rest of his Pokémon & Pikachu & Meowth hopped on Brock's shoulders

"I wish you luck, Mr. Ketchum." The instructor said as he left

"There are sure a lot of people taking the exams." Serena said

"Hey, there's Nurse Joy." Brock said as he saw Nurse Joy

"I wonder what she's doing here?" Todd said as they went up to her

"Hey Nurse Joy, what are you doing here?" Ash asked

"I'm here to take the exams." Joy said "You see, I've always dreamed of becoming a Pokémon Master, so I came here because my job keeps me too busy from traveling. It's perfect for people whose age & health keeps from traveling around or who can never get away from work."

"Attention all participants, the exams are about to begin. Please follow me." The instructor announced

"Good luck, Ash." Serena said

"You'll do great." Brock said

"Thanks guys." Ash said as left with the other participants

The first test was a true or false test that measures their knowledge of Pokémon, the second test was to measure their ability to recognize Pokémon by identifying the silhouette or any part of its body. After they were done, the results on the scoreboard were shown & Ash got the highest score. The final test was a Pokémon battle test, they had to choose 3 Poké Balls, regardless of what Pokémon is sent out to battle the instructor. When it was Ash's turn

"Are you ready, Ash?" The instructor asked

"Yes sir." Ash nodded

"Go Poké Ball!" The instructor said as he sent out a Flareon

"Flare." Flareon said

"I choose you!" Ash said as he sent out a Weezing

"Weezing." Weezing said

"Ash got a Weezing." Serena said

"Let's see how he battles with that." Todd said as he took a picture
