As a trainer, he has the rain trait

Qingping Building, office on the far left on the third floor

Zhilin stood at the door holding a small can of Anxi Tieguanyin, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Please come in!"

The door opened, and Professor Lin Qingping, who was reading, looked up and stared at him with his somewhat cloudy eyes.

Zhilin was a little flustered, but pretended not to be nervous and greeted politely, "Hello, Professor Lin!"

Lin Qingping looked at the watch he was wearing, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, very punctual, unlike your grandfather."

Then she took another look at the teapot in his hand and said, "I don't like this. That's what old antiques drink. I like this!" After saying that, she shook the milk tea on the table.

Zhilin's mental preparation nearly collapsed. After recovering a little, he asked, "Professor Lin, do you know my grandfather?"

"I know him. Zhiyu is my old enemy!"

"what?"

Looking at the flustered Zhilin, Lin Qingping laughed out loud, "I was just kidding. Although he and I have had our conflicts, we still have a pretty good relationship."

Zhilin understood that it was the kind of rivalry between Xiaozhi and Xiaomao.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Come and sit down."

After Zhilin sat down, Professor Lin told him the purpose of his visit. "I've seen your grades, and I have a general idea of your performance since you enrolled. I asked you to come here mainly for one thing!"

"Professor, you say!"

"I think you're a good candidate to be a breeder. I want you to be my student and learn how to breed."

Zhilin felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He wanted to be a breeder just for the allowances and discounts, and had no intention of pursuing this path.

Lin Qingping had so much experience that he could immediately see Zhilin's reluctance. "Why? Don't you want to?"

Zhilin nodded shyly, "A little."

"Become my student. I'll provide all the resources for your Pokémon cultivation until you graduate, and you don't have to give up being a trainer."

Zhilin immediately performed the traditional Donghuang art of face-changing, and said with a grin, "Really? Professor, you have a really good eye for people!"

Lin Qingping sneered, "He is indeed Zhiyu's grandson, just as greedy for money and has just as bad a memory."

Zhilin didn't dare to answer. Lin Qingping waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'll have Xu Ya give you a sign later. It's the girl who called you this morning. Come to my place to study every Thursday and Friday night. That's it, you can leave now."

Zhilin quickly stood up and said goodbye, even though he hadn't even sat down to warm up the chair.

When he was about to leave, Lin Qingping suddenly called him back.

"By the way, there's an assessment for the Cultivator Association tomorrow, you should go and give it a try!"

"Huh? What if I don't pass?"

"Cold salad!"

Zhilin shrank his neck, hurried out and closed the door.

"If you don't pass, keep taking the test until you pass." Another voice came from the room.

"Know it!"

Zhilin replied and fled in a hurry.

Inside the house, Lin Qingping took out the phone on his lap and said maliciously, "You begged me to hand over your grandson to you!"

Zhiyu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Teach him well! My grandson is quite talented."

Lin Qingping shook the tea leaves left by Zhilin on the table and said, "It depends on my mood. Oh, and your grandson also gave me a can of tea, Tieguanyin! Do you want it?"

"Me too! Get out!"

"Beep~" the phone was hung up.

Lin Qingping smiled and shook his head. "This guy still has such a bad temper! I hope this little guy Zhilin can emulate your style again!"

After saying this, his eyes were filled with memories:

Decades ago, he and Zhiyu were both prodigies of Jingchu University. They won the Phoenix Cup for the academy together. His Gardevoir and Zhiyu's Dragonite were both feared by their opponents. Unfortunately, Zhiyu's Dragonite died in the fight against the forces of darkness. After experiencing this, Zhiyu stopped fighting and ran back to Changjing to open a sheep farm. He heard that there were descendants of that Dragonite there, and Zhilin's fluffy sheep must be one of them.

"Alas, thinking back to those days, we were armed with swords and spears, fierce and fierce like tigers. Now, I dare to ask my old friend, Lian Po is old now, can he still eat?"

......

When Zhilin returned to the dormitory gate, he saw Xu Ya standing there waiting.

Zhilin was stunned and asked, "Why are you so fast?"

Xu Ya handed him a metal plate and a booklet, "I have a flying Pokémon! Come to the Breeder's Association at 8 o'clock tomorrow on time."

Zhilin nodded and roughly flipped through the booklet, which contained some precautions and classic question types for the elementary cultivation assessment.

Zhilin was about to look up and thank him, but found that the person had already walked away.

"Coming and going like the wind~" Zhilin muttered and walked in with his things.

In the yard, Rongrong Sheep was training, and the fish tank containing the Chouchou fish was also carried out by it. The Chouchou fish was swimming leisurely in it.

"I'm back!"

The sheep wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Mee-mee~"

"Welcome home~"

Chouchouyu just glanced at him and continued wandering away.

Zhilin didn't care. He told Rongrongyang to rest and then went back to his room to learn about breeding...

Time quickly came to the next day

Zhilin looked up at the magnificent Breeders Association building and couldn't help but smack his lips. "The Breeders Association is much richer than the Trainers Association!"

Xu Ya, standing by, adjusted her glasses and explained, "The Alliance only has one-tenth of the registered Breeders. They don't need to pay out large subsidies, and they only need to set up branches in major cities. Their expenses are much lower than the Trainers' Association. Breeders also have numerous ways to make money, so they can build a building like this without any pressure."

Zhilin suddenly realized that, indeed, breeders can make money by formulating breeding plans, providing breeding services at home and collecting fees, or by making energy blocks and other Pokémon supplies, and they can also open breeding houses. In comparison, trainers seem to only have the means of sparring and participating in competitions to win prizes.

Xu Ya completed the registration procedures very quickly, pointed Zhilin in a direction, and sat on a bench in the hall to rest and wait.

Zhilin followed her instructions and came to the examination waiting room.

At 8:45, Zhilin entered the examination room, the papers were distributed at 8:55, and the exam officially began at 9:00.

Zhilin checked the paper as soon as he got it and wrote his name and test number.

Start answering the questions immediately after the invigilator announces the start of the exam.

1. How do you differentiate the gender of a Pikachu?

Answer: You can tell them apart by their tails. The male's tail has a pointed end, while the female's tail has a heart-shaped end.

2.What type of Pokémon is Tsubasa?

Answer: Rock series

......

26. Please answer why Eevee has so many evolutionary forms, and write down all of Eevee's evolutionary forms and evolution methods.

Answer: Eevee's genetic composition is extremely unstable, and it is very easy for it to evolve into different types of Pokémon due to differences in the surrounding environment.

Flareon (evolve using Fire Stone), Vaporeon (evolve using Water Stone), Jolteon (evolve using Thunder Stone), Umbreon (evolve by receiving the moon's vibrations), Soleimon (evolve by receiving the sun's vibrations), Glaceon (evolve using Ice Stone, get close to ice rocks), Leafeon (evolve using Leaf Stone, get close to mossy rocks), Sylveon (evolve by learning Fairy-type skills and increasing intimacy).

......

50. There are several major functions of tree fruits. Give an example of each.

Answer: Heal injuries (Pomelo), restore physical strength (Apple), remove negative effects (Cherry), increase intimacy (Hami), resist attribute moves (Yawberry), temporarily increase attributes (Dragon Fire).

Finally finishing the answers, Zhilin stretched and looked up at the clock hanging on the wall; well, it only took more than forty minutes, which was quite fast to answer.

He glanced around and found only a few empty seats. After checking, he stood up and handed in his paper.

After handing in the paper, Zhilin followed the arrow on the ground and came to a small room. There was only a table and two chairs in the room. There were six Poké Balls on the table. Behind the table, an old man was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.

Hearing footsteps, the old man opened his eyes and looked at Zhilin, "Come and sit down, and choose a Poké Ball."

Zhilin sat down obediently, looked around and chose the third one closest to him.

The old man opened the Poké Ball of his choice and released a Sandshrew.

"Only look, no touching, time limit three minutes."

"understand!"

After a simple reply, Zhilin began to observe.

This mole was in a bad mental state and looked listless, with red cheeks, drooping limbs, a curled-up abdomen, and slightly raised scales.

After observing for about a minute, Zhilin spoke confidently:

"Reporting to the examiner, it has been diagnosed as diarrhea. Symptoms observed include fever, lethargy, fatigue, and abdominal pain."

The old man nodded, "Name and test number!"

"Zhilin."

"Well, you can leave through the back door."

Zhilin stood up, thanked them and left, coming to the last room.

Inside was a middle-aged man who was examining a candidate. Seeing this, he stepped outside and waited. After a minute, a voice came from inside: "Next."

When Zhilin entered, the man glanced at him, released an Eevee from the table, and said, "Choose an evolution plan for this Eevee. You have five minutes."

Zhilin hesitated for a moment. This question was a bit beyond the scope of the exam, but he ultimately chose not to question it. He gently picked up the Eevee, touched its bones, observed it, and let it perform a few moves before putting it down and letting it move freely around the room.

After watching Eevee's lively and active play for three minutes, Zhilin spoke a little over ten seconds before the end of the timer:

"Examiner, the evolution plan I've chosen for this Eevee is to have it drink Moo Moo Milk regularly to replenish its osteoporotic leg bones, wear a Grass Gem to further increase its grass energy, and finally use a Leaf Stone to evolve it into a Leafeon."

The man asked with interest, "Why?"

Zhilin paused. "Through touching it, I noticed its hind legs aren't as strong as its front legs, which is counterintuitive. It must have been injured before. It's more adept at using Grass-type moves, and it has more Grass-type energy in its body. It's playful and active, has good physique, and is tough and strong. If it evolves into a Leafeon, it could serve as a competent physical defender for the team."

The man nodded in satisfaction, "You passed!"

Zhilin breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him, "Thank you, examiner!"

"Ok!"

......

"Passed?" Xu Ya was not surprised by Zhilin's speed and asked calmly.

"It's pretty easy, except for the last question which is a bit difficult!"

Xu Ya nodded. "The final training assessment for the Changjing City Cultivation Association branch has always been conducted by the branch director, Tang Ci. His questions are always difficult."

"No wonder!"

The two waited for another half an hour before all the candidates in this batch finished the exam and entered the certificate awarding stage.

The Primary Cultivator's Certificate is a light yellow booklet with Zhilin's photo, date of birth, and place of origin. With it, you can prove Zhilin's status as a Primary Cultivator!

......

One month later

Zhilin sat at his desk, reading the diary he had been using since entering school:

"September 7th, successfully obtained the Novice Trainer Certificate. It felt pretty easy, just sprinkle some water~"

......

On September 16th, we defeated our opponents with great difficulty and successfully obtained the preliminary spot for the Phoenix Cup Academy Team. My sheep also evolved into a sheep with a lot of fur. I was very happy. I had a BBQ dinner with friends in the evening and cooked a lot of delicious dishes.

......

On September 17th, I went to my grandpa's house and got the gift my parents had prepared for me. I was stunned! It was a Chou Chou fish. My mom said it was obtained during a mission to destroy a Team Rocket base. We also encountered two psychotic people and a talking Meowth. I knew who they were talking about!!!

......

On September 20th, Professor Lin Qingping had a senior student ask me to come over to his office. I had completely forgotten about it, and I shouldn't have bothered Professor Lin to remind me. When I got there, he taught me a lot about cultivation and even asked me to take the elementary cultivation exam. That was great; I'd been wanting to give it a try!

On September 21st, I took the Primary Cultivator exam. I actually passed? Great! I can get double the allowance.

......

On September 23rd, the first competition started. The strength of the others also improved very quickly. I almost lost the spot. I have to work harder. Although I don’t think I can get a good result, I can’t let my teammates and Rongrongyang down for their hard work.

......

September 30th, the second tournament. Sadly, we lost our spot and were defeated by a reorganized team. We lost in a crucial three-on-one situation. It seems we three need to work on our coordination. Perhaps it's because I've been so busy with the Breeder Assessment these past few days that I've neglected training? I need to worry more about Rongrongyang's training plan.

......

On October 7, in the third assessment, we got our place again. One of the original five teams lost its place. It turned out that we should not underestimate others and we have to work harder.

......

On October 11th, I felt that my ugly fish was too vigilant. It took a long time for it to reluctantly accept training. It was thanks to my good cooking skills that it agreed.

On October 12, Xu Wu's Gastly also evolved into Haunter. Thanks to Teacher Lu, I was able to think of using food to help Gastly evolve. By the way, Teacher Lu's Gengar is so strong!

......

On October 14th, we successfully retained our spot, but we cannot relax.

......

On October 21st, I successfully secured my spot.

......

On October 28th, I successfully secured my spot.

......

On October 30th, Teacher Zuo told us that he would be taking us to a field assessment and training tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it.”

After reviewing his life over the past two months through his diary, Zhilin finally went to bed contentedly...
