Integrate into the fairy world

Staring at the almost unharmed Dusknoir, the old man was momentarily stunned. However, as a veteran trainer, he quickly understood what had just happened.

"Young man, you just had your Wandering Night Spirit use a Stand move, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, many of the passersby who were still wondering why Night Spirit was unharmed quickly grasped the key point and then suddenly understood.

Lei Ze simply smiled and did not deny what the other party had just said.

"That's right, it's a stand-in."

The old man looked at the confident Lei Ze and couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He then looked at the wandering Night Spirit, and after a moment's thought, took out a skill disc.

"Young man, the fact that you could withstand three moves from my Poopoo Pig shows that you have extremely high talent. You have nurtured the Wandering Night Spirit very well, but there are still some shortcomings."

"As agreed, this Bluff skill disc is yours. With the Wandering Night Spirit's innate mental strength, once this move is used, few can escape it." As he spoke, the other party took out a skill disc from his pocket and handed it to Razer.

Razer took the disc, overjoyed. His Wandering Night Spirit needed this kind of provocative move.

"Thank you, old man!"

Seeing Razer's delighted expression, the old man suddenly spoke up: "Young man, I see you have a great talent for Pokémon battles. Would you be interested in becoming my apprentice? I'd be very keen to take you on as my disciple!"

Lei Ze was stunned. He didn't expect that he had just come out for a stroll, and someone would actually want to take him as a disciple.

However, Razer had his own ideas; he wanted to forge his own path based on his own will.

For this reason, Lei Ze didn't consider either inheriting the family's dojo or becoming an apprentice. In his view, once he formally accepted the inheritance, he would be branded with the same mark.

“Senior, I appreciate your kindness, however, I already have my own plans and will firmly continue down my path.”

After saying that, Razer left the scene without looking back, taking Pikachu and the others with him.

After being rejected, the old man was not angry at all; instead, he became even more optimistic about Lei Ze's potential.

"I never expected that I, an old man, could discover such a promising talent today. I hope this kid can truly forge his own path in the future, just as he said he would!"

For the next period of time, Razer arranged for Pikachu and the others to have one-on-one Pokémon battles with local trainers every day, with them taking turns to participate.

Razer did this not just to win the game, but also to help the giant swallows quickly rebuild their rapport with him.

I haven't been able to bring them along for several months. Although we had trained together before, the professional assessments that followed would inevitably involve battles between trainers.

Therefore, Razer believes it is very important to rebuild rapport.

Besides, although these days are monotonous, they don't find them boring because they can battle different Pokémon every day.

Days passed, and with each battle, Razer gradually rediscovered the chemistry he once had with his old friends. At this pace, he believed they would perform well in the upcoming professional assessment.

As the day of the professional assessment approached, Razer noticed that the number of trainers gathering in the plaza outside the stadium was increasing.

At Pengcheng Elf Stadium, today, Razer will complete the first two stages of the second part of his professional assessment: the interview and the 6v6 all-out battle between candidates.

At this moment, Razer and Pikachu stood outside the stadium, looking at the magnificent building, their hearts filled with excitement.

"Pikachu, after all these years, think about all the setbacks we've gone through, and we've finally made it this far!"

"Pica, Pica!"

Just then, Razer heard people talking nearby.

"Have you heard? It's said that some bigwigs will be personally overseeing this professional assessment. I wonder how many people will pass this time?"

"Big shots? These things mean nothing to someone like me who's been a runner-up for three years! I've already made up my mind: if I still can't pass this year, I'll go back and inherit the family business and never dream of being a trainer again!"

"Damn it, you rich kid!"

……

Listening to these people's conversation, Lei Ze suddenly felt his pressure increase.

Although he didn't know how high the status of the person who was their examiner this time was, even his father, a gym leader, was not usually addressed as a big shot, so the person who came down this time must be at least a near-Elite Four member!

"No matter who it is, I will make sure they pass the test this time!"

Having made up his mind, Lei Ze resolutely stepped into the stadium.

After registering, Lei Ze was about to step inside when someone called out to him from behind.

"Your Pikachu can't stay outside!"

The receptionist pointed to Pikachu on Razer's shoulder, indicating that Pikachu needed to be put into a Poké Ball.

Razer understood that this was also part of the assessment, so he didn't make things difficult for the other party and took out Pikachu's Poké Ball to put it away.

After seeing that Razer had no other questions, the receptionist led him to a waiting area in a meeting room.

"Please wait here for the exam to begin. Remember, do not make any noise!"

Razer took note of the warning and then entered the venue. The waiting area inside was a standard lecture hall, with signs prohibiting noise written on the walls.

Upon entering the waiting area, Razer looked around and found that there weren't many people there yet. To avoid attracting attention, he chose a corner seat.

During this time, Lei Ze scanned the examinees in the arena and found that they, like him, were sitting quietly in their seats without saying a word. Most of them were around 30 years old, presumably veterans of the professional examinations.

Looking around, Lei Ze realized there wasn't a single young man like him.

I don't know how much time has passed during this period?

Just as he was getting drowsy while waiting, he suddenly felt someone pat him on the back.

Lei Ze was startled by this sudden action, which caused quite a commotion, attracting the attention of many people around him.

However, they only glanced back instinctively, and since nothing happened, they quickly looked away again.

Lei Ze quickly recovered from his shock and immediately spotted the person who had just patted him.

Lei Ze vaguely remembered this person; he was Long Xiaoyao, the captain of the Tianlong High School team during his high school years!

I still remember how I was overwhelmed by the opponent's dragon Pokémon because of my lack of strength, especially that powerful Red Dragon, which Razer still remembers vividly.
