Jubilife Pokémon Center.
The examiner, an elder named A Zhi, was also a Senior Breeder.
Most of the Pokémon used by the examinees were cared for by A Zhi and his team.
According to his assessment of Flareon's strength, Roserade using Synthesis should have been able to stall Flareon.
However, Flareon's Fire-type moves seemed to have increased in power, causing A Zhi to make a wrong judgment.
"Go, Skuntank!"
Identification (Intermediate) quickly allowed Li Wei to know Skuntank's ability and moves.
[Name]: Skuntank
[Type]: Poison, Dark
[Ability]: Stench (Has a chance to make the opponent flinch when dealing damage.)
[Moves]: Flamethrower, Poison Gas, Bite, Focus Energy, Venoshock...
[Strength Rating]: Senior (Beginner)
Li Wei could tell that this was a Pokémon that loved using poison.
That's why Li Wei said that the Senior Breeder assessment also involved a bit of luck.
Among those hundred or so Poké Balls, there should have been some Senior-level Pokémon, but Li Wei drew two Superior-level ones.
Fortunately, Flareon had a type advantage against Roserade, and Staravia with Baton Pass was also passable.
According to Li Wei's estimation, the elder named A Zhi would definitely not use Flamethrower.
He might use Poison Gas first, making close-range contact temporarily impossible.
"Skuntank, Poison Gas!"
"Flareon, Flamethrower!"
Li Wei's luck wasn't great.
Although Flareon's Flamethrower hit, Flareon was also hit by Poison Gas, its face turning purple as it entered a poisoned state.
The other examinees watching from the side exclaimed, "What bad luck, it actually hit!"
But it wasn't a big problem; as a Breeder, how could Li Wei not carry Antidote?
"Flareon, eat it!"
There was no rule against using medicine during the battle anyway, and Flareon wasn't holding any items.
Seeing Li Wei give Flareon the medicine, Mr. A Zhi nodded slightly; this was also part of the test.
"Encore, Flame Charge!"
"Mia!"
After leaping up and taking the medicine,
Flareon unleashed Flame Charge with all its might!
Flareon, covered in flames, once again slammed into Skuntank.
But Skuntank just smiled, only retreating slightly.
Mr. A Zhi chuckled, "That move's power isn't good enough, young man."
Li Wei's lips curled slightly,
"Thanks for the reminder, Flareon, Baton Pass!"
Flareon let out a long howl, instantly turning into a red light and returning to its Poké Ball, replaced by Staraptor!
Seeing Staraptor, Mr. A Zhi sighed, "My luck really isn't good."
"Staraptor, Brave Bird!"
Flareon had already boosted its speed twice with Flame Charge, and Staraptor's speed was already Superior to Skuntank's.
Staraptor's speed reached a new peak!
This was a Staraptor with the Reckless ability.
With its speed advantage, Staraptor used two consecutive Brave Bird attacks to take down Skuntank on the spot.
Mr. A Zhi said helplessly, "Consecutive Brave Bird, you really are daring."
Li Wei smiled, "You have to believe in Pokémon's potential. If it didn't work, I still had Flareon, but luckily Staraptor persevered."
Li Wei gently stroked Staraptor's feathers and then gave it a few Oran Berry Cubes.
Mr. A Zhi nodded, "Staraptor's stamina seems to be better than usual. Never mind, congratulations on passing the assessment."
"Thank you, Mr. A Zhi."
The three people who came to watch also congratulated Li Wei. The two fans got Li Wei's autograph and then left.
Nurse Joy presented Li Wei with his Senior Breeder certificate.
"Passing both the Intermediate and Senior assessments consecutively, that's very impressive, Mr. Li Wei."
"Lucky~"
"Thank you, Nurse Joy, Chansey."
The moment Li Wei received the Senior Breeder certificate, the robotic female voice resonated in Li Wei's mind again.
[Ding, detected Senior Breeder assessment passed. Reward: Pokémon Item Draw Ticket * 3, Identification (Intermediate)]
[Fourth Stage Mission]: Pass the Master ClassBreeder assessment
[Reward]: Pokémon Item Draw Ticket * 4, Random Skill (Advanced)
Li Wei bid farewell to Nurse Joy with an unperturbed expression, but his heart was ecstatic.
Skills like cooking, Energy Cube making, and Poffin making could be upgraded by grinding proficiency, but Identification could not.
Although it wasn't the highly anticipated Master Class or Scan (Advanced) upgrade, Li Wei was still content.
"Then I'll take my leave."
"Take care."
After leaving the Pokémon Center, Li Wei immediately checked the changes in Identification (Intermediate).
Identification (Intermediate): Through meticulous observation, one can understand a Pokémon's current mood and health status (No one understands Pokémon better than me).
If he wanted to see Pokémon, they were everywhere, even on city streets. Li Wei casually looked at a wild Meowth that was licking its fur.
Meowth's type, ability, and moves were still visible, but the panel had new changes.
[Mood]: Calm
[Health Status]: Good, slightly hungry
To know a Pokémon's mood and health status, one needed to observe carefully.
Upgrading Identification to Intermediate was very useful for Li Wei, as it could prevent him from making wrong judgments.
There were some situations where Pokémon would keep eating even if they were full,
For example, Pokémon like Munchlax and Teddiursa, who eat a lot.
At this time, Li Wei could clearly determine whether they were truly full or not, and overeating situations would no longer occur.
Whether it's humans or Pokémon, maintaining 80% fullness at each meal is a better choice.
It's not good to feed a Pokémon until it's 100% full; in fact, it's not good at all.
With three draw tickets remaining in his backpack, Li Wei chose to use them all at once.
[Ding, obtained black glasses.]
[Ding, obtained Good Rod.]
[Ding, obtained key stone.]
?!
As the saying goes, the shorter the text, the shorter the text.
Words could hardly express Li Wei's excitement at the moment.
key stone: A stone containing unknown power, capable of allowing a Pokémon holding a Mega Stone to undergo Mega Evolution.
There are many Mega Stones, usable only by specific Pokémon, but one key stone is enough.
At this point, Li Wei already had a key stone + Diancie Mega Stone.
It's just that Li Wei didn't have Diancie right now, otherwise, he would definitely Mega Evolve it directly.
Anyway, he had the Super True Human physique, resistant to absorption.
A tribute to the legendary Absorption King, Ash.
It was a pity that Mega Stones were not sold on the market.
If he really wanted to buy one, it would probably be from Steven or Dr. Platanus.
Good Rod: A decent fishing rod that can catch Pokémon when used near water.
black glasses: Increases the power of Dark-type moves when held.
Li Wei currently had no intention of catching Water-type Pokémon, and he was still raising a Feebas.
The black glasses had an average compatibility with Li Wei's current Pokémon, so he would put them away for now.
They could also be used as accessories, making Lucario or Drakloak look fashionable.
In the field of Pokémon style design, there were indeed such uses.
