Chapter 548
"Pokedex Holder???"
Hearing Professor Oak's words, Green was instantly unsettled.
As everyone knew, his own Grandpa, Professor Oak, was one of the founders of the current Pokémon discipline, and many basic Pokémon disciplines were extended starting from his research.
At the same time, many trainers in Guandou also knew...
The first version of the Pokedex was exactly produced by Professor Oak and his team by organizing various Pokémon data in Guandou.
It was also starting from this, combined with the joint efforts of professors from various regions and excellent trainers, that the current full-region Pokedex covering most Pokémon in various regions was created, bringing convenience to newcomer trainers.
Later, a special electronic Pokémon called Rotom was added, making the Pokedex not only possess more functions but also possess a certain degree of autonomous consciousness, and even be able to protect the trainer's safety.
But besides this, there was another extremely special Pokedex.
Produced by Professor Oak himself, only trainers who had been recognized by professors from various regions and possessed certain special qualifications were eligible to obtain the "Special Edition Pokedex."
As far as Green knew, at least he seemed to have never seen Grandpa issue a special Pokedex to anyone...
So when Professor Oak took the initiative to mention this topic, Green was so surprised.
He originally thought that he would be the first newcomer trainer in Guandou to be recognized by Grandpa, but he didn't expect that Teacher Yu had snatched it first!
But once he thought it was Teacher Yu, Green felt a bit convinced inexplicably...
No way, this person really couldn't be compared to!
Just listening to the circulating battle records, one knew how outrageous Xiang Qingyu was.
It seemed that he only inherited the gym last year, and in less than half a year, he made the "Sunshine Gym," which was on the verge of bankruptcy in Paldea, leap into the ranks of the eight gyms for the Champion Road assessment, and even had a loud reputation worldwide.
And besides the trainer's own quality, Teacher Yu was also very good at researching all kinds of outrageous tactics and sharing all these tactics selflessly with everyone.
The number of newcomers who had been seduced... pointed out by him was immeasurable, and there were even a bunch of Gym Leaders who were influenced by Teacher Yu's ideas and began to change the gym assessment mode, making the originally formulaic gym challenges full of surprises.
Just in Guandou alone, there were at least four! Each one was heavyweight, and even he himself got stuck for a long time!
Hmm, thinking about it this way, Teacher Yu was indeed a trainer with a very strong personality...
It seemed that it really met Grandpa's requirements.
Compared to the trainer's level, Grandpa was more concerned about whether there were some unique highlights in the junior.
And Teacher Yu... does being so sunny that he is black all over count?
"..."
Regarding Professor Oak's sudden question, Xiang Qingyu's brain also crashed for a moment.
Pokedex Holder?
Isn't this a proper protagonist treatment?
For the protagonist of the Pokémon world, there were probably no benefits, but there were definitely a basket of disadvantages; all kinds of messy events could be encountered...
Seemingly seeing the hesitation in Xiang Qingyu's heart, Professor Oak soon smiled kindly and spoke in an encouraging tone:
"Although it's a bit boastful to say so, the special Pokedex made by my own hands cannot be compared to those outside."
"And... if it's Xiang Qingyu, you should be able to pass the assessment very easily."
The functions of the special edition Pokedex were very powerful; Xiang Qingyu knew this point.
Besides all the functions of the ordinary Pokedex, there were also usage functions such as being able to release a special electromagnetic wave to temporarily interrupt Pokémon evolution, and using the communication function to realize remote transmission after briefly shrinking the Poké Ball.
It could even see through the moves learned by Pokémon.
Xiang Qingyu certainly didn't understand the principle, but he also knew that this was proper black technology.
Moreover, a Pokedex Holder was equivalent to being recognized by Professor Oak, and would also be awarded a title thought up by Professor Oak.
Xiang Qingyu was suddenly really a bit curious about what kind of title Professor Oak would give him.
"Then I'll trouble you, Professor Oak."
After Xiang Qingyu took a deep breath, he nodded slowly, which could be considered as accepting Professor Oak's suggestion.
It was just a mere Pokedex Holder assessment; Professor Oak wouldn't really use his main force to abuse him, right!
Generally, before the assessment, Professor Oak had already understood the traits possessed by the trainer accepting the assessment, and the assessment content would also be carried out around this aspect.
Therefore, it was not necessarily a Pokémon battle.
And what could his title be?
Person of the Gym? Person of Sunshine? Or... Person of Live Streaming?
It feels like all of them are very strange!
"I understand."
Professor Oak nodded.
Although at the beginning there seemed to be a thought of being afraid of trouble, in the end, he still decisively accepted his assessment.
Moreover, he also revealed a very interesting look.
There was no confusion at all, filled with complete confidence in his own strength.
Just like Red beside him.
The first time he saw the young Red, Professor Oak read the aura of a strong person from his eyes.
Only people who were confident enough and moved towards their goals unswervingly could become an excellent trainer, and it was also applicable in other fields.
Thinking of this, Professor Oak smiled gratifiedly, and while turning to walk towards an open space, he said without looking back:
"Then, just follow me."
Pokedex Holder...
In the eyes of Red behind Xiang Qingyu, a few inexplicable looks flashed.
In the complex eyes, it seemed that one could read a point of surprise, two points of envy, three points of longing, and four points of realization.
Sure enough, the dazzling light emitted invisibly by an excellent trainer like Teacher Yu was easily observed by Professor Oak.
If possible, I really hope to have the opportunity to challenge Teacher Yu after becoming stronger in the future...
A full-force battle with Teacher Yu would definitely be very interesting!
The matter of Xiang Qingyu accepting Professor Oak's assessment soon spread throughout the entire Oak Laboratory through the group chat.
Therefore, when he stood on the side of the open space, quietly waiting for Professor Oak's next assessment, a large group of young or middle-aged people dressed in white coats and scholar attire had appeared one after another around.
"As expected of Teacher Yu, he was favored by the Professor the first time he came to the Oak Laboratory; I don't know what the assessment content will be..."
"For a trainer as excellent as Teacher Yu, the Professor should also want to have a battle with him after a long time; I have been working here for so many years and I have never seen the Professor command Pokémon personally!"
"Who knows, but aren't you still supposed to record Pokémon data on time? Why did you run over to join in the fun..."
"Shh—this kind of small matter is missed if it's missed; it's very likely that this is the only time we can see Teacher Yu and Professor Oak as opponents!"
"Mew~"
Watching the crowd that was gradually becoming lively, Mew, although it didn't quite understand what they were all talking about, also immediately laughed out "Mew mew mew," seemingly echoing their words.
"..."
So many humans...
Mewtwo, who was instinctively repelled by humans, felt physically uncomfortable.
It was preparing to use its psychic power to fly into the air silently, but was instantly entangled by the tail of Mew, who was joining in the fun, and had to give up helplessly.
"Don't be nervous; my assessment is very simple."
Looking at Xiang Qingyu, who was standing still on the other side, Professor Oak smiled slightly, and then spoke slowly.
"Next, I will ask Xiang Qingyu three questions; if the answers can all be recognized by me, then it will be counted as passing the assessment."
Hearing Professor Oak's words, Xiang Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief immediately.
Fortunately, it should be that he doesn't need to fight a wild battle.
The battle with Sakaki made Xiang Qingyu deeply understand how outrageous the battle style of Guandou people was...
Sakaki is already like this; Professor Oak, the "Battle Legend" who has more battle experience and has fought all over the world, must be even more exaggerated!
If it was just answering three questions, he was still relatively confident.
Following Xiang Qingyu's nod, the assessment officially began.
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Professor Oak looked at the weak Eevee held in Red's arms and soon asked the first question:
"The first question, I want to ask Xiang Qingyu, what is your opinion on this Pokémon, Eevee?"
