These questions are all very specialized and difficult. As a Pokémon trainer, a deep understanding of Pokémon is essential. Superficial knowledge is far from enough.
Perhaps these knowledge points may seem impressive even if you know them, but they are just the basic skills of a novice trainer. To cultivate a Pokémon well or to make a living through this method requires a much greater effort than this.
In every city or town, the stationed Pokémon centre has the minimum requirement for a Pokémon Nurse, Ms Joey, to reach the level of an intermediate trainer.
The knowledge tested for novice trainers is far from representing anything.
Compared to the knowledge of those top masters, these are simply child's play.
Next, Terrance continued to answer the questions. He didn't waste too much time on ten fill-in-the-blank questions. In just 20 minutes, Terrance was left with the last two essay questions.
The essay questions require a discussion of no less than 150 words, and the questions are usually closely related to reality, requiring a lot of knowledge to be connected. Moreover, they often exceed the current level of assessment, equivalent to raising the level of the assessment.
The question is out of 20 points, and the grader will score based on the key points of the test taker's answers. Often, scoring more than 10 points is considered good.
The exam questions previously were mostly easy, however, the last two big questions are the key to testing the level of the test taker.
Essay Question [with picture]: The white area on the cheek of a Jigglypuff is light green and it is in great pain. How should it be treated?
Upon seeing the first essay question, even Terrance paused and began to organize his thoughts. The essay question is different from the previous multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions. It is not just about understanding one kind of Pokémon.
The essay question for novice trainers includes two types of Pokémon. Fortunately, this is just a written test. With years of experience in creating test questions, people have more or less figured out some answer techniques.
Like Terrance, he has looked at past test questions and explanations many times and has also figured out some thought processes, which are similar to the exam philosophy of his previous life.
However, a written test is still just a written test. If a real situation arises, whether a trainer can take emergency measures is another matter.
Jigglypuff, light green, in pain.
After thinking carefully for a few minutes, Terrance finally started to write.
Starting from the symptoms and behaviour, it seems that the Pokémon is in pain, possibly due to injury or abnormal status such as paralysis, poisoning, or burning.
Jigglypuff's cheeks are light green, indicating that something has altered its body condition.
Jigglypuff may be under an abnormal status, given its light green colour. Initially, Terrance couldn't find the corresponding information by looking at the attached image.
The knowledge required for the Junior Breeder Assessment shouldn't be too difficult, and it usually tests on common Pokémon. Terrance remembers that poisoning and paralysis can cause pain in Jigglypuff.
Jigglypuff usually likes to play in the water and inhabits forests, so Terrance can target Bug-type and Grass-type Pokémon.
At first, Terrance thought of using a series of Pokémon from the Nidoran family, but he immediately ruled it out after considering it.
The paralysis powder of Venomoth is brown-yellow, the toxin brought by Bug Bite is brown mixed with purple, and the toxin of Poison Sting is deep purple.
Dustox is also not a match because its toxin brings red-purple symptoms.
As for Grass-type Pokémon, Bulbasaur and Shroomish don't seem to fit the description.
However, after organizing the habitat and characteristics of other Pokémon, Terrance finally focused on Shroomish.
Although the paralysis powder and poison powder of Shroomish have differences in symptoms compared to Jigglypuff, Shroomish has a unique feature - its spores.
These released spores are different from poison powder and toxic substances, and Shroomish cherishes them. It only releases them when it's in danger, and the spores contain some toxins, eventually forming a unique powder that only Shroomish has.
These spores can be used against enemies or to make medicine, and they are excellent medicinal materials.
Most importantly, Shroomish loves the damp soil in the forest, so they prefer humid places.
With this in mind, Jigglypuff and shroomish are the keys to solving this problem.
Next, this question is only half answered. Knowing the reason is one thing, but we also need to test how the breeder will handle it.
For those who have no idea, they might write down an answer like using an antidote, but the question is not that easy. Moreover, if treatment is started without thoroughly understanding the situation, it can often cause secondary damage to the Pokemon.
The answer written by Terrence is: first, make Jigglypuff stop moving, then gently squeeze its tail until its cheeks turn dark green. After that, using a Pecha Berry or a Persim Berry to detoxify is the best solution, followed by using an antidote. If there is no preparation, then Jigglypuff should try not to waste its energy, not use its ultimate moves, and find a detoxifying medicine as soon as possible. After detoxification, Jigglypuff should release its energy to the fullest until it is exhausted. This is the safest way.
The large, round tail of Jigglypuff stores enough nutrients needed for its growth. After being poisoned, the toxin will invade its tail first, and these nutrients will also be infected. To prevent the toxin from invading deeper and hindering Jigglypuff's growth in the future, Jigglypuff needs to stop moving its tail first and let the toxin remain in a mild state. Then, massage the tail, and use its special elasticity to squeeze most of the foreign toxins into the cheeks, which is the first and most effective point of action for detoxifying medicine.
Next, the task is not yet complete. At this point, not all the toxins have been expelled. Although Jigglypuff is now safe, as a precaution, it still needs to continuously release its ultimate moves, consume energy, and release as much of the toxins invading its energy as possible. This is a perfect solution.
Of course, each toxin and each poisoned Pokemon require different methods to solve the problem, which is a difficult task for breeders.
After writing all of this down in a precise manner, Terrence breathed a sigh of relief. Doing such a big question was also very difficult for him right now.
Without wasting any time, Terrence immediately started reading the second question.
How can a Meowth learn the following ultimate moves? Please choose one to answer: Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, Shadow Clone, or Water Pulse...
This is another type of question, concerning the training of Pokemon's ultimate moves. Similarly, this is a fundamental skill shared by breeders and trainers.
