Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Village Chief, how can I become a trainer?
Soon, Mark learned what the so-called ability awakening test was from the speeches of alliance officials and the conversations among the villagers.
In the world of Pokémon, there are some humans who are able to master special abilities.
For example, super powers (telekinesis), wave power, dragon power, super power...
The same is true for humans in this world, and there are even more types of special abilities that can be awakened, including earth, water, wind, fire, and a wide variety of other abilities.
In addition, in the Kingdom of Shia where he lives, people with special abilities seem to be able to awaken through induction.
This ability awakening test is to screen out children with special abilities.
According to alliance official John, children between the ages of ten and fourteen are most suitable for awakening special abilities.
On the simple platform, John glanced at the villagers gathered below, looked at the head of Qingxi Village next to him and said, "It's almost done, let's start the awakening test now."
John opened the black metal briefcase and took out a strange silver hexahedron. As he touched it further, blue fluorescent lines flickered slightly, the hexahedron unfolded, and a blue ball of light slowly floated in the air.
After briefly checking the activation status of the awakening ball, John glanced at the dozen or so children and frowned slightly.
John turned his head back and looked at the old village chief not far away and said, "There are seventeen people in total. Are these the only children who meet the requirements in your Qingxi Village?"
Old Man Aaron said nervously, "These are the seventeen people, sir. Is it because there are not enough people that there will be problems with the awakening test?"
John shook his head: "That's not the case. It's just that each time the Awakening Ball is activated, it can be used on 20 people. If there are less than 20 people, it will also consume 20 people. That's fine. Since everyone is here, let's get started. Go tell these kids to relax as much as possible."
Village Chief Aaron immediately came to the children's side and told them not to be nervous.
Seeing that the children were in good condition, Village Chief Aaron turned back and was about to tell John that they could start, but he unexpectedly met the gaze of Mark in the crowd and was stunned for a moment.
Mark in the audience was a little surprised when he found himself making eye contact with Village Chief Aaron. He didn't know why Village Chief Aaron was looking at him.
Because the surrounding villagers were talking too noisily, Mark couldn't hear the conversation between Village Chief Aaron and John. He only saw Village Chief Aaron look at him for a while, then suddenly walk up to the alliance official and say something.
Then not long after, the alliance official also looked at him with a somewhat surprised expression.
On the stage, John asked in confusion: "You said that young man is only thirteen years old?"
"Yes." Village Chief Aaron explained, "His brain may not be working well, but he is definitely thirteen years old, or even younger. You should know about the chaotic pokemon tide ten years ago. This child survived that disaster. He was only two or three years old at that time."
John looked at Mark with a trace of pity, and nodded slightly, "A survivor of that disaster... Well, let him participate in the awakening test as well."
Mark in the audience became more and more confused. He didn't understand why the alliance's Commissioner John and the old village chief kept looking at him.
Then, Mark found that the village chief was waving at him, holding a green fruit in his hand, as if luring him over.
A familiar memory emerged in Mark's mind. The former village chief Aaron seemed to have done something similar to him, luring him into the house with food, and then examining his body. It seemed that he had also given him a shot of vaccine or something...
Seeing that Mark didn't move, Old Man Aaron walked down the stage and grabbed Mark's arm.
He thought Mark would refuse to cooperate like before and would need to be lured with some better food, but he found the process very easy. He easily brought Mark to the side of a dozen children.
Soon, John further activated the awakening ball.
A stream of blue light surged out, covering the seventeen children present, as well as Mark.
Mark also realized at this time that he seemed to have become a member of the ability awakening test.
But isn't it only for children?
Mark was still thinking, and suddenly he felt a strange feeling.
This stream of blue light was soft and warm, and seemed to nourish his spirit, making him feel full of energy. Besides that...
Mark opened his own spirit master panel with his mind.
…
[Mark]
[Occupation: Spirit Master]
[Experience: 13%]
[Points: None]
[Royal Spirit: Green Caterpillar]
…
Under the blue fluorescence of the awakening ball, his experience has increased from 12% to 13%, and is still rising rapidly.
13%, 15%, 19%, 24%, 32%...
Almost every one or two seconds, the progress can be improved.
Then just when Max was wondering how much his experience could eventually be improved.
Buzz——
A buzzing sound appeared diagonally behind him.
Mark turned his head slightly and saw a boy's body floating slightly, with some dust and pebbles floating near the boy.
John raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he nodded gently, "It seems that he has awakened his superpowers. Although his potential has not been measured, it should be above the standard."
Compared to John's calmness, Old Man Aaron was overjoyed.
"Alden, this kid is good, good, good..."
In the audience, Alden's parents hugged each other excitedly when they saw the changes in their child. Some neighbors also started cheering and celebrating when they saw this.
Then, as the villagers were cheering, a strange pressure appeared.
With that pressure as the center, everyone's brains within a hundred meters around felt dazed and all sounds stopped abruptly.
The one who created the pressure was none other than a little girl next to Mark.
Even though Mark had the mind of an adult, he was still shocked by the pressure. Not only did his body tremble uncontrollably, he even felt a little unstable.
"Dragon? He actually awakened the power of dragon?"
John walked quickly to the side of the little girl, his face full of surprise.
If the kid who awakened superpowers before only allowed him to get a bonus, then this girl who awakened the power of dragon could not only promote his position, but also bring him immeasurable benefits.
Thinking of this, John saw that the awakening ball had been activated, so he quickly put it away and then walked to the little girl.
John turned his head and looked at the head of Qingxi Village and said, "This girl has awakened the power of the dragon. I decided to take her directly to the capital city of Ruier. As for the other child who has awakened superpowers, a special alliance official will come to deal with him in a few days. At that time, he will be taken to Hake City for formal awakening."
As John spoke, he took out the Poké Ball, and a giant bird nearly three meters in size, looking mighty and domineering, appeared.
It is Pidgeot, and also the final evolution of Popo.
When Village Chief Aaron saw that John seemed to be leaving, he hurriedly said, "Sir, our village has awakened two children this time. Can we set up a spirit center in Qingxi Village?"
John smiled and said, "This girl awakened in this village. The Xia pokemon Alliance will naturally give her benefits. Even without my asking, opening an pokemon Center will not be a problem.
By the way, there is one more thing. The Thunder Group has been causing trouble in Luoye Province recently. If you encounter any suspicious persons, remember to report to the Alliance, or you can notify the Sanshan Town Gym.
Also, the news about the boy who has awakened superpowers should not be spread for the time being. Just let him wait for the alliance members in the village. Otherwise, there is a risk of him being abducted by the Thunder Group.
Also, what is this girl's name?"
Village Chief Aaron said, "Amy, Avena Amy."
"Amy, in order to avoid any accidents, I will take this child away now..."
As John spoke, he carried the girl in his arms, rode on the Pidgeot and flew eastward. In a few breaths, he disappeared from sight.
Village chief Aaron watched John leave with his mouth half open. Suddenly he thought of something and quickly picked up the loudspeaker, telling the villagers not to spread the news that Alden and Amy had awakened their abilities. Then he quickly walked down the stage and explained in detail to Amy's parents where Amy had gone.
Old man Aaron continued to give instructions to each household. After a busy period, the villagers slowly dispersed. He returned to the table, picked up the kettle and took a sip, and saw that a few children had not left yet.
Several children looked lost, gathered together and whispered, looking pitiful.
After all, they were all tested in the same batch. The children were very frustrated when they saw others awakening their abilities while they themselves had nothing.
Old Man Aaron sighed and consoled him, "Special abilities are only one aspect. You all watched the gym league on TV this afternoon. The only gym owner in Sanshan Town who has special abilities is the gym owner. The third person to appear, Bart, who used Rhydon, was born a commoner like you.
Bart is now an elite trainer. As long as you keep working hard, you will have a promising future. Stop sighing here and go home quickly..."
After being comforted by the village chief, the children looked much more relaxed and left soon.
Looking at the children who were gradually going away, Old Man Aaron shook his head slightly and said, "Is there anything promising in the future? They didn't want to study hard to get into the pokemon Academy, but they insisted on making their debut at the Insect Catching Competition. Is the Insect Catching Competition so easy? These troublesome brats..."
"Village leader, how can I become a trainer?"
Village Chief Aaron was still sighing when he suddenly heard a question.
Turning my head to look at the corner, I saw Mark, who was squatting in the corner, standing up...
