Since you rarely interact with others, you’d never had the need to hide your thoughts and opinions, but you recall that at the rare times you’ve spoken your mind in front of others, they tend to distance themselves from you.
Your lack of social interaction has made you a bit too open about what goes in your head.
Whatever, you’ll check what this “Further examination” is about later, you hope it isn’t much of a hassle.
After a while, the same tired military man comes out, accompanied by an entourage of soldiers and armed Pokémon. Congratulating those who managed to pass the first part of the test and start to explain what the remainder consists of.
You are tasked with bringing a Pokémon back to the base, no matter what type or where you got it. The conditions for passing are two: First, the Pokémon must be able to behave in public and be obedient enough to participate in battle. The second one, which caused some doubts and complaints among the rookie trainer, was that the Pokémon CANNOT be brought on a Pokeball. They must come here on their own terms.
A newly implemented politic that’s just being tested as part of the exam to “Improve bonds between Trainers and Pokémon”. Previously caught Pokémon who were released recently aren’t good either, The regional Pokémon Storage System keeps a record of all released Pokémon in the last 6 months, and they’ll use it to verify you didn’t get an already trained mon.
You have a week, next Saturday you must return to the military complex with a mon willing to follow your orders.
Some of the loudest complainers were kids who already had Pokémon ready for them. A couple started to verbally threaten the uniformed man for the perceived slight but they all quieted down after his Blastoise fired some ultra-pressured water shots into the air as a warning making most of them flinch. You don’t. After that, you were all dismissed.
>This is some bullshit, you were planning to find someone who’d sell or rent a trained mon for cheap and save yourself the hassle. > “Improve bonds between Trainers and Pokémon?” What a joke. These incompetent government cronies make us get our own starter Pokémon and now they won’t even let us use Pokeballs? Why can't they just do it like they do overseas and hand us a starter and our license already? >Good, this evens the playing field. Screw those privileged pricks who already got mommy and daddy to buy them a starter mon from a breeder. >Why would you care? It’s not like you had anything prepared. Catching them in a ball or dragging them here, doesn’t change anything. >Other/ Write-in
