Ace Trainer Evaluation!
"Hello, Bruce, I'm your fan."
Bruce was a little surprised by the first words from the long-legged woman.
Seeing Bruce's reaction, the woman chuckled lightly, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Your performance during the first-year exchange competition was so amazing that many of my sisters were drawn to you."
"Excuse me, can you sign this for me?"
After saying this, the woman looked up, her beautiful eyes staring at Bruce without blinking, her face full of anticipation.
"No problem," Bruce nodded.
"Thank you." When the woman heard this, she immediately became happy. She took out a piece of paper and a pen from the backpack on her back and handed them to Bruce.
Bruce scribbled his name, then looked up and realized that many people were staring at him curiously.
"Thank you." The woman gave a slight bow, carefully put the paper in her pocket, then raised her eyes to look at Bruce and asked curiously, "Bruce, what are you doing here?"
Hearing this, Bruce raised an eyebrow, thinking that this girl's growth isn't bad, but her IQ is a bit behind.
"I'm here to get the trainer certification," Bruce replied calmly.
"Trainer certification..." The woman suddenly nodded, then her face froze, her head stiffened, and she looked at the counter in front of her. There was a sign: Ace Trainer Certification Office.
Her face went blank for a moment, and after a long while, she suddenly realized that she and the others had been paying attention to Bruce at that moment, immersed in the joy of meeting Bruce by chance, and hadn't even noticed the counter in front of Bruce.
This is the Ace Trainer Certification Office 06!
Hadn't Bruce become a Professional Trainer some time ago? Why is he getting certified as an Ace Trainer now?
The woman's head was a little dazed for a moment. She numbly bid farewell to Bruce, then ran towards her sisters with her long legs at a normal speed.
"BIG... BIG NEWS!"
The long-legged woman stopped next to her sister, her chest heaving violently, breathing heavily, her eyes bright, and her face excited.
"What do you mean? Do you want to get his contact info?" one sister asked eagerly.
"Is it time for a date?" another sister came over and asked.
The long-legged woman lifted her head, waved her hand, then pointed to the counter in front of Bruce and said, "What do you think that is?"
"Ace level... Trainer Certification Office!" The two gasped in surprise at the same time and looked at each other in astonishment.
Seeing the reaction of the two, the long-legged woman nodded with satisfaction, then leaned in and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, we simply sponsored him and didn't realize it was an Ace Trainer certification office."
"This is Ace quality!"
"He was clearly a Professional Trainer not long ago!" The long-legged woman was still full of disbelief.
This incident was too scandalous. Despite Bruce being the first-year exchange competition champion and even breaking a series of records,
Everyone had expected that, no matter how fast he progressed, he would become an Ace Trainer in his second year.
But... Less than two months after the Freshman Exchange Competition ended, Bruce arrived at the Pokemon Association building to obtain an Ace Trainer certification.
Who would have thought?
"It's huge news..." murmured one sister quietly, her eyes blinking.
"Why don't we tell others?" another sister asked enthusiastically.
The long-legged woman frowned slightly when she heard this and shook her head. "No, I'm his fan, so I can't reveal his specific information privately."
"Alright, alright." Hearing this, the person in front immediately extinguished the fire.
"By the way, the college student league is about to start, and Bruce chose to get certified as an Ace Trainer at this time, maybe..." one sister whispered.
The long-legged woman's face was slightly moved. She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head lightly and said, "Shouldn't it be like this?"
"The requirements to participate in the college student league are pretty high. He's here to get certified now, which means not much time has passed since his three Pokemon made it to the Ace level, so they shouldn't be qualified."
Although the long-legged woman is a fan of Bruce, she was still skeptical about this.
"This is already very powerful." The sister next to her raised her head and said, "Now that he's become an Ace Trainer, he will participate in the college student league next year. Isn't he just playing the Baby Cup?"
"Bruce has already reserved the championship for next year's college student league!" she whispered, a slightly excited expression on her face.
Since there weren't many trainers in front of the professional counter, it was soon Bruce's turn.
After handing over his trainer ID to the staff, Bruce waited silently.
The staff lowered their head to input the relevant information, and when they saw Bruce's age, their pupils suddenly contracted, then they looked up in surprise.
After a while, they lowered their head again, their eyes still blinking.
"Your trainer ID, please go to Pavilion 10 and wait." The staff handed the trainer ID to Bruce respectfully.
"Thank you." Bruce took the trainer ID and turned to leave.
As Bruce's figure faded, the staff couldn't help but murmur quietly, "Certified as an Ace Trainer at the age of 18..."
"What a damn freak!"
Bruce followed the signs to the hall.
When he entered, he saw that nine trainers were already waiting in Hall No. 10. Upon closer inspection, they were the trainers right in front of him.
When they saw Bruce enter, everyone looked at him for a moment, and after seeing how young Bruce was, some people raised their eyebrows.
There was also a trainer who squinted, his face full of surprise, muttering something under his breath, seemingly recognizing Bruce's identity but not stepping forward to greet him.
Yes, he should be a college student who saw the Freshman Exchange Competition.
Just as Bruce entered the hall, a staff member in formal attire came out from the side hallway. He looked around and then said aloud, "Now that everyone has arrived, the Ace level evaluation will begin immediately."
When everyone heard these words, they looked at the staff and listened attentively.
"Everyone should know that the Ace level is named with the word 'Ace,' which is naturally very different from the previous levels.
"It's the starting point to distinguish Ace Trainers from amateurs."
"Therefore, the evaluation for this rank is different from all previous evaluations."
As soon as these words were spoken, some people showed a thoughtful expression, while others were calm.
Bruce also knew from Liam that the Ace level evaluation was not the same as Mikey's, so he wasn't surprised but simply listened quietly.
The staff looked serious and said in a deep voice, "Next, I'll take you to a miniature secret realm.
"In the secret realm, there are ten paths leading to the top of the mountain, called racing paths."
"The content of this Ace level evaluation is to successfully pass the Ace path, reach the top, and defeat the staff waiting at the mountain."
"A warm reminder: the evaluation time ends before dusk."
"If you do not pass the evaluation by dusk, you will be declared to have failed."
Upon hearing this, Bruce nodded thoughtfully.
The content of the Ace level evaluation is completely different from the previous evaluations. In the past, it was only necessary to send out a Pokemon to defeat the staff.
Then everyone walked down a long hallway under the staff's guidance and finally entered a black hole that kept spinning.
The familiar spinning sensation overwhelmed him.
When Bruce noticed the aromatic salts, the scene before him had completely changed. Looking around, there were green trees and dense forests.
A winding path stretched upward in his field of view, eventually covered by tall, thick trees, but looking up, the top of a steep mountain came into view.
That was the final point of the Ace level evaluation here.
Afterward, Bruce looked around but didn't see the previous trainers.
"Ten trainers, ten Ace paths, all heading to the last mountain."
"Interesting," murmured Bruce quietly for a moment, then lifted his eyes, ready to officially embark on the Ace path.
If you look down from a great height, you can clearly see that this miniature secret realm is round in shape, with a towering mountain in the middle, rising into the clouds and surrounded by dense forests full of vegetation.
In the jungle, at every step, there is a path that leads to the top of the mountain.
At this moment, all the trainers set off at the same time, embarking on the Ace path.
Bruce stood still and threw three Poke Balls into the air.
Rows of white light blossomed, and Blaziken, Metagross, and Gardevoir appeared simultaneously, surrounding Bruce.
"Since the terrain is forested and this path must be traversed, there must be countless wild Pokemon attacking."
"And this should be one of the contents of the evaluation." His eyes flickered slightly as he thought to himself.
An excellent trainer must be an expert in field survival.
It's natural to send all three Pokemon as insurance, but if he truly encounters wild Pokemon, he'll naturally need Gardevoir to take action.
It's the lowest level and requires more experience points.
Numerous thoughts ran through his mind, and Bruce took a step forward and began moving ahead.
The path under his feet was relatively flat but full of diverse, large and small tracks.
The dense forests on both sides were exceptionally quiet, and it was hard to hear even the slightest sounds.
Bruce looked around and saw that among the dense trees on both sides, there were large trees densely arranged, with very small spaces between them, and the branches and leaves blocked the sunlight, casting shadows.
This is the best place for a stealth attack.
But because of this, Bruce was more careful and walked forward, paying attention to both the left and right sides.
After walking for ten minutes, a Shadow Ball of black tone suddenly roared from the dense forest on the right, cutting through the air and crashing into Bruce at an astonishing speed.
Gardevoir, who had been prepared for a long time, waved her right arm leisurely, and suddenly a dazzling light screen of crystal lit up.
Boom!
The Shadow Ball hit the Light Screen, which remained motionless, not even cracked.
Bruce looked to the side and found a crimson eye.
