Pokemon: I am really a civilian trainer

late at night.

Old man Aaron sat on a bench under the eaves, holding a cup of cold tea in his hand, or wolfberry water to be precise.

He would raise his head from time to time, wake up for a while, then close his eyes unconsciously and fall into a drowsy sleep for a while.

As for why Old Man Aaron didn't sleep in the middle of the night, the reason was simply two words - waiting for someone.

Crunch——

Along with the sound of the gate being pushed open, two figures entered the courtyard, one in front and one behind.

It was Mark and the Caterpillar who returned from the forest.

The dazed old man Aaron vaguely heard a sound. He yawned, rubbed his eyes, and suddenly woke up.

"Mark, you still remember to come back!!"

Old Man Aaron stood up, as if he was going to teach Mark, who had not been seen for a few days, a lesson, but he suddenly discovered something and his eyes were attracted by that thing.

It was the same insect net that he had kept since his childhood.

The long pole of the net bag is made of pear wood, which he cut straight by knife one by one. It has been frequently wiped and maintained with tung oil over the years, making it extremely tough.

The net was rewoven by him a few years ago using the hard silk of caterpillars. As long as it is not damaged violently, it will be able to be used for several years.

He thought that the insect net bag had been lost by Mark, but he didn't expect that Mark actually brought it back.

Old Man Aaron walked up to Mark, picked up the insect net bag, looked it up and down in the moonlight, and then wiped the dirt and plant juice stains on it with his sleeve.

Old Man Aaron asked, "Why didn't you bring this net bag back last time?"

Mark recalled: "This net bag? Oh, I remember, last time the Caterpillar and I were injured, it was inconvenient to carry this net bag, so I left it in the forest. In fact, if you really care about it, you can wake me and the Caterpillar and ask about it when you leave the medicine. I didn't lose it."

Old Man Aaron glanced suspiciously at Mark and the green caterpillar leaning against Mark's trouser leg. Suddenly he thought of something and slapped his forehead with his palm, revealing an expression of disappointment.

"I almost forgot about the important matter. Do you know that you missed an opportunity that could change your life? Why haven't you come back these days?"

Mark asked in confusion: "A life-changing opportunity? Has anything happened in the past few days?"

"Ss ...

Not only Mark, the green caterpillar was curious.

Old Man Aaron glanced at Mark and said, "Just this afternoon, people from the Pokemon Alliance of Luoye Province came, and Lin Tong, who had awakened his superpowers, was taken away. I told Dr. Wu about the wisdom you gained during the awakening ceremony, and he said he could help you test it. If it's suitable, he can also let you and Alden join the ability training program of the Xia Kingdom. As a result, Dr. Wu waited for you for more than three hours this afternoon..."

As Old Man Aaron spoke, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

In fact, Dr. Wu waited for three hours in the afternoon largely because of him.

From beginning to end, he never mentioned that Mark had not returned for a few days, nor did he mention that Mark had been surviving in the wilderness all these years and was often missing for several days or even dozens of days. Otherwise, Dr. Wu would not have been so stupid as to wait with him.

Mark heard the words of the village chief and was not disappointed because of the missed opportunity.

He was indeed tempted by the Shia Kingdom's plan to train people with special abilities that the village chief had mentioned, but only for a moment.

The reason for the heartbeat is simple.

The awakening ball during the awakening ceremony allowed him and Caterpillar to absorb a huge amount of experience.

If one participates in the training program for this ability user, he will most likely come into contact with some similar devices, which will be very helpful for him to accumulate experience and gain points.

However, all of this is based on the fact that he is a true special person.

In fact, he did not gain any wisdom from the awakening ceremony at all. All of this came from the imagination of the old village chief.

Therefore, even if he participates in this ability training program, when it is detected that he is just an ordinary person, he will most likely be persuaded to quit, wasting a lot of time.

In the end, he still has to go the route of the Pokemon Academy.

Thinking of this, Mark said, "Village Chief, I think it would be better for me to enter the Pokemon Academy compared to the training program for people with special abilities. You don't have to worry about me like this."

Old Man Aaron frowned and looked at Mark. In the moonlight, he could see Mark's determined eyes, just like those insect catchers in the village who gave him trouble.

When he asked those bug-catching boys how to become trainers in the future, those boys' answer was to participate in the bug-catching competition in Fallen Leaf Province and they showed no regard for the entrance exam to the Pokémon Academy.

Obviously, getting into the Pokemon Academy would give him a better future than debuting at the Bug Catching Tournament; and participating in the Shia Kingdom's ability training program would also give him a brighter future than getting into the Pokemon Academy.

In the end, these brats just wouldn't listen.

Looking at Mark's expression which showed no regrets and his determination to enter the Pokemon Academy, Old Man Aaron felt extremely tired.

After receiving the news the day before yesterday, he waited anxiously for Mark to return every night and even left a note in Mark's room. As a result, the brat disappeared for several days.

Dr. Wu came today, and he shamelessly tricked Dr. Wu into waiting for an entire afternoon just for Mark.

I wanted to give Mark a good scolding.

But when the words came to his lips, the scolding finally turned into a sigh.

Old Man Aaron said: "As long as you don't regret it in the future, it's good. In fact, enrolling in the Pokemon Academy is also a very good choice, but compared to... Never mind, I won't say more.

By the way, I asked the questions on the note you left a few days ago. Although the caterpillar does like to eat sweet and spicy food, during the exam, everything is subject to the content of the textbook. "

"Um."

Mark nodded slightly, then opened his backpack, took out the "Encyclopedia of Shia Kingdom Pokemons (II)" and quickly flipped through the pages.

"Village Chief, I have another question. You see, this page mentions that Caterpillar and Magikarp are fully metamorphosed Pokemon, but there is no description of the characteristics and status of fully metamorphosed Pokemon. Do you know the criteria for classifying fully metamorphosed Pokemon?"

"Completely metamorphosed Pokemons?" Aaron picked up the book and said thoughtfully, "Does it mean the kind of Pokemons whose bloodline genes can awaken very few skills and moves before evolution, but can awaken a lot of skills and moves after evolution? Even textbooks now include this kind of thing?"

Old Man Aaron took Mark into the house and carefully flipped through the textbook under the light, frowning constantly.

"The written exam for the entrance to the Pokemon Academy will basically not go beyond the content in the textbooks. Even if there is some deviation from the syllabus, it should not be too much. As for the completely metamorphosed Pokemons, you only need to know that their bloodline genes have undergone earth-shaking changes before and after evolution. As for the specific characteristics of completely metamorphosed Pokemons..."

Old man Aaron walked back to the bedroom, rummaged through the drawers, and took out a black high-tech item that looked like a mobile phone.

Old Man Aaron turned on the computer and typed some text. He flipped through the pages a few times and said, "As for specific characteristics, low intelligence should be one of them. Whether it's the Caterpillar, the Unicorn Beetle, or the Magikarp, their intelligence is far below the average of the Pokemons. As for the others, there's no record of them here."

Mark said: "Village Chief, is that the Pokemon Atlas in your hand?"

Old Man Aaron slapped his head and said with a somewhat annoyed expression, "I forgot that you have become wise and are no longer the fool you used to be. Never mind, just see it. It is a Pokemon Encyclopedia. If you can become a formal trainer in the future, you will receive a Pokemon Encyclopedia from the Pokemon League. The model should be more advanced than that of an old antique like me. Of course, if you can come up with about 10,000 pokedollars before you become a formal trainer, you can also go to the store and buy a civilian version of the Pokemon Encyclopedia yourself."

Mark nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Village Chief, are you a trainer?"

Old Man Aaron sighed and said, "I guess so. By the way, you just need to know about this matter. Don't spread it around. Also, don't spread the matter about the elf encyclopedia around."

"good."

Mark nodded. Just as he had guessed before, the old man who was the village chief of Qingxi Village was indeed a man with a story.

Could he be a hermit master living in seclusion?

Mark pondered secretly, and suddenly thought of something. He opened the backpack further, revealing the blue fruit inside...
