Chapter 4

We had decided to leave 3 hours early so we could walk to town instead of driving. While we where walking I was going over what had just happened in my head. I asked myself what happened to me and why did I suddenly decide to to lie to Neil and tell him I was fine. Neil suddenly turned around and handed me some papers that he was reading earlier. "Test me." he said . It took me a second to regain my focus after thinking to myself for a extended period of time.

For the rest of the trip to Cavalava city we tested each other on each others information we needed for our different knowledge test. We finally got to the city and I stoped at the entrance to take a look. It was still a bit before noon so the sun was still rising as I looked at the city I watched the workers run up and down the sides of the crystal clear river dividing city completely in half. The only way to get across the river was a signal draw bridge in the northern part of town.

I pulled out my registration papers and look at where we where supposed to meet. The papers said to meet at the harbor inn so we checked the time realized we where both still early even though we had walked to city. We decided to head to the inn anyway considering its only open when some event is going on and I had you seen the inside of it. It took a while for me and Neil to get to the northern part of town because of all the trainers there to challenge the gym in the streets. But when we finally got there we saw a familiar face.

We saw Dr. Ryan getting out of his car and walk into the inn. We had to wait for the traffic to slow down so we could cross the street. When we final did get across the street I noticed the parking lot of the inn was starting to get crowded as we walked into the inn. Once inside we Ryan getting a desk set up with some papers and equipment. He turned around when he heard us a with a smile said "Hey Neil and Luc how are you doing.

"I'm doing fine but Neil is about to have heart attack" I replied. It was true Neil had been freaking out ever since we got to the city constantly asking me to test him again on every thing he had with him. Neil just sighed obviously not paying attention to me lost in his own thought. Ryan realizing this said "Neil don't worry your going to do fine".Pulling Neil back to reality. Just then I remember that I had his book in my back pack. "Hey Ryan"I said "i have something for you." He looked at me in interest as I put my hand into my back pack and was shocked when I pulled out his book. "I didn't even know I left it he said in a suprized voice. He proceeded to take the book open it for a second and then put it into his suit case.

After I handed the book back to Dr. Ryan we helped set up the tables and chairs that where in the waiting rooms. As we did that more and more doctors showed up and started to set up there stations for there activities they where registration for. When we where done Ryan said "O I forgot to give you your registration information while I was at your house." Right after that he went over to his desk and found two stacks of envelopes he set up earlier and took one of each set and gave it to me and Neil.

He told us inside the envelopes there where ferry tickets and our registration number. "Ferry tickets?" I asked confused. "This Years test was on Iron Island its the only place with enough room for all of to testers to have a fair go." With my curiosity soothed we talked a little longer then me and Neil decided to head to the library to do some last mine it studying. As soon as we walked out the doors people saw us with our registration packets and began fileing out of their cars into the inn.

We fought our way through the crowed and finnaly reached the street and started to head torward the library when two trainers the other side of the street called out to me. Recognizing one of them was an old friend from school I headed over to see them. It turned out the only reason he wanted me was because he needed a judge and everyone had told him I was one. I quickly had to explain when he told me he was doing a double that I couldn't direct those yet. With a disappointed sigh he asked how was I and he decided to find a better judge and continued to argue with the trainer he was talking to before.

Yet again we started our walk to the library when a thought occurred to me. Neil had kept his pokemon a secret from me since the day he informed me he was going to be a was going to try to get at least some type of information out of him about his pokemon before I had to travel with him and be that guy whose like "Wow where did you get that." Every time he Chooses a pokemon. With that in mind I formulated a plan. "Neil" I asked. "What?"Neil responded. "If the test is on Iron Island that means you have to go against rock and steel types in you battle part of the test to pass". I watched closely for his reaction to what I said. He then turned and smiled and said "Nice try Luc but, your not going to get any information from me." I hung my head in defeat for the rest of the trip to the library.

After we crossed the bridge the building came into view it took a couple more minits of walking before we got to it. Neil stopped at the entrance and looked around for a second then he said pointing across the street "You can go on but I am going to go study strategies at the gym while you go look around in there." I thought for a second half tempted to go with him then finally replied "OK but meet me back here when its almost time to go because I will lose track of time."

Me and Neil made our plans to meet up and then split up I walked into the door and was greeted bye complete silence. I looked around and saw the librarian she waved at me and I returned the gesture then she went back to organizing shelves. I was suprized to see I was the only one there when I got to the top floor. I walked over to the shelves I was familiar with because of all my recent visits and pulled out the nearest battle rules listing book. I looked over all of the rules rememberingngngngng the one I forgot and missed on the written test last time 'During a arena ranked pokemon battle consisting of more than 2 pokemon if a pokemon steps out of bounds after that battle he is unavailable for substitution.

After I read all of the rules I knew I shelved the book and then something caught my eye the book directly beside my book was the same one I had returned to doctor Ryan. Out or curiosity I took the book and started to flip though the paged and noticed that all it was was a information guide about pokemon. Each page would have a picture or drawing of a pokemon and tell all we knew about it most of it was blank but other than that it was a interesting book I was flipping the pages when the page I stoped on had a lucario on it. My mind instantly flashed to my dream I started to wounder what had caused it when I realized I couldn't move again panic rose in me as the presence in the back of my head exploded and my vision blacked out.

The first thing I noticed was I could move and the next I noticed was Neil standing right behind me. "Luc" he said "are you ready to go." "Yea" I replied thinking about what happened afraid to tell anyone. We headed down stairs and out the sliding glass doors. Our walk down to the ferry was a lot louder than I had anticipated everyone seemed to be yelling about something and the sun had gotten a lot brighter from earlier. But by the time we got there there was a long line but luckily we already had our tickets so we showed them to the ticket person who wished us luck on the test finding interest in my name. We decided to sit on the lower deck of the ferry as we waited for the boat to fill with testers and tourist. But as it filled up my body urged me to get to open space. So as soon as people started fileling into the ferry me and Neil ended up moving to the top of the ferry. As soon as we got there I instantly felt relived and we stayed there for the duration of the trip.

I saw Iron Island rising on the horizon directly in frount of the boat 10 minutes before Neil or anyone else. The captain came on the intercom and said "We will be docking at the Iron island dock in about 15 minutes due to a cargo barge dropping off supplies." Sure enough when I looked over toward the island there was a large barge unloading all of the equipment that would be necessary for all of the testing. After barge moved the ferry docked with the station and we all filed out onto the island information both which is the only permit building on the island. We walked into the small packed house and grabbed an event map. The map showed a set up of all temporary buildings and tents for testing. We looked at the map for a second the Neil realized something on the map and said "We have to test on opposite sides of the island." sounding depressed. " Don't worry" I said "we can meet at the battle area on breaks in the test." He seemed to be relived by that statement and we parted to our testing buildings.

I walked to the to the center battle site located only about a football field from the information booth. I watched the workers put up bleachers for people to watch the test battles and watched as the layed down the chalk lines for the battle field. I sat and went over things in my mind for a while before checking my watch realizing it was almost time for my test I headed to the far end of the island. When I got to my testing I was surprised to see it was a rather large temporary building with air conditioning .I walked in the door and was immediately asked for my registration papers by the instructor. I pulled out my envelope and the instructor took the envelope and opened it pulling out a sticker he put it on my shirt I look at the sticker and realized it read number 1.

The instuctor lead me to a desk where he pulled out a card ant to my surprize slid the card into the side of the desk. Then the wood slid off the top of the desk reviling a screen with my information already on. "Good" the instructor said "you already took the test so I don't have to input your information." With this said he walked to the line of people at the door and proceeded to seat like he did me. About an hour later everyone was seated and ready for the test. He then told us how to use the touch screen for the test and how to use the keyboard for extended answers. After that the test began and almost an hour and a half later we finished testing.

After we took the knowledge part of the exams we took a 15 minute break but where not allowed to leave the building. Then after that we where told to go back to our desk. When we got back the instructor told us we where about to take the reflex part of the test it would take about five minutes. After that the test began with a series of colored blocks flashing across the screen and timing problems. When I got done with a test my desk chimed and the instructor came to my desk with a confused look in his face. He looked at a code that showed up then slid his card on the side of the desk again and a small square printed out the side of the screen as the wood closed over it. The instructor took the paper with code on it and put it right on my sticker under my number and lead me out of the building.

Outside of the building was Neil sitting on the bench with a smile on his face. He had already taken his battle portion of his test and passed his test taking out his pokedex and 3 extra pokeballs along with a card that I recognized as a trainers license. Then he proceeded to interrogate me on my test. After about five minutes The intercom system installed called all sideline judge testers to report to the battle arena for the finnal testing stage.
