Training before the Ordeal 3

"E-rank trainers are not allowed on missions, even if they are accompanied by a higher ranking trainer. Before you may begin taking missions, you must each earn a promotion into the D-rank." He let that sit in for a moment. "Fortunately for you, it's is relatively easy to be promoted into D-rank. In order to reach D-rank, you must each prove to the Gym Leader that the Pokemon you caught will obey your commands and attack on command. In other words, you must first tame your Pokemon and prove it will protect you out in the wilds. Once you have proven that, the Gym Leader will promote you to D-rank and you may start taking D-rank missions."

"E-rank is the proving grounds for all rookie trainers. It's where you show us whether you can become real Pokemon trainers or become wash-outs who must try to survive on whatever scraps we throw your way. Trainers may only retire from taking missions after being active for 20 years. After that, you may apply for a position here in the trainer district or in the mission office in central district. Unfortunately for you, once chosen on Selection Day, you may never apply for a civilian position. With all of that in mind, I hope you all understand the importance of being able to successfully tame your first Pokemon. If, for any reason, you can't tame your first Pokemon, you may request to retake your Ordeal. Your first Pokemon will then either be put down or put to work if it can be of use to the city state." He looked around at us. "I hope you will succeed in taming your first Pokemon. It would be a damn shame if you made it back from your first Ordeal only to not return from the second."

He looked at the clock on the wall. "Let's end this lecture right here. I'll be available to you all up until your Ordeals if you have any questions. Most other trainers in the district will also offer advice if asked. Over the next few days, you should make good use of the Pokedex app on these computers. Familiarize yourselves with all of the Pokemon that are commonly found around Asidia. Also look up which of these Pokemon are easier to catch then others and where they are most likely to be found. As a general rule, evolved Pokemon cannot be caught without weakening first so you should avoid these Pokemon on your Ordeals. Your target Pokemon should be small and young unevolved Pokemon that can't put up much fight when they are sucked into the pokeball."

Once the old veteran finished with his teaching and advice. Austin was the first to leave he went to the cafeteria and had a meal. Then he went towards the training field and began to run like parkour. He repeated these types of runs until he was tired. He got injured a small cut on his knee when he fell.

Annabelle gave him a potion to heal. He decided to use the system of getting exhausted and using potion to heal up for free. He knew before the ordeal he was the responsibility of the league.

The rest of the Chosen finished asking the old trainer questions and went to eat then sleep. Surprisingly everyone looked at Austin as if he was crazy.

Just like that the days passed without them realizing it. Austin was much fitter and moved more agile than before. He also pulled out a pokedollar said he found it and wanted to by a knife. He did this the day before the Ordeal.

Today the children were gathered in front of them was the gym leader and a few trainers. Today was the day they leave the gates with nothing but a few rations and pokeballs.

Today was the day of the Ordeal!
