These questions were very obscure and could not be underestimated. Breeders needed to have an extremely in-depth understanding of Pokémon. Just having superficial knowledge was far from enough.
Perhaps these knowledge seemed not so great even if you knew them, but this was only the basic skills of a Beginner Breeder. If you wanted to breed a Pokémon well, or make a living by this means, the effort required would not be so simple.
In every city or town, the Pokémon Centers stationed there required the Pokémon Nurses, that is, Nurse Joy, to reach at least the level of an Intermediate Breeder.
The knowledge tested in the Beginner Breeder exam did not represent much at all.
Compared to the knowledge of those Top Masters, these were simply child's py.
Next, Torii continued to answer the questions. Soon, the ten fill-in-the-bnk questions did not waste too much of Torii's time. Only 20 minutes had passed, and Torii had already answered the st two argumentation questions.
Argumentation questions required an essay of no less than 150 words. Basically, the questions were more practical, requiring a lot of knowledge to be connected together, and often exceeded the current exam level, which was equivalent to giving the examinees a boost.
With a full score of 20 points, the graders would score according to the key points answered by the examinees. Often, getting more than 10 points was considered a good score.
The test questions were both difficult and easy. The st two major questions were the key to testing the level of the examinees.
Argumentation [Attached picture]: Azurill's white area on its cheeks is light green and shows extreme pain. How should it be treated?
Seeing the first argumentation question, even Torii paused and began to organize his thoughts. Argumentation questions were different from the previous multiple-choice and fill-in-the-bnk questions. They were not just about understanding one kind of Pokémon.
The argumentation questions of the Beginner Breeder exam contained two kinds of Pokémon. Fortunately, this was just a written test. With many years of experience in setting questions, some answering routines had been figured out.
Like Torii, he had read the past exam questions and analyses many times, and had also figured out some ideas. This was almost the same as the exam concept of his previous life.
However, a written test was ultimately a written test. Whether a Breeder could take emergency measures in a real situation was another matter.
Azurill, light green, pain.
After thinking carefully for a few minutes, Torii finally began to write.
Starting with the performance and symptoms, the expression of pain may be due to injury, or it may be in an abnormal state, such as paralysis, poisoning, burning, etc.
Azurill's cheeks were light green, so it should be that some substance had changed its physical condition.
Then maybe it was in an abnormal state, light green. Looking at the attached picture, Torii didn't find the corresponding key points at first.
The knowledge tested in the Beginner Breeder exam would not be too difficult for the examinees, and generally only tested some more common Pokémon. Torii remembered that poisoning and paralysis could both cause pain to Azurill.
Azurill's temperament generally likes to py in the water by the water's edge, and most of them live in forests. In this case, Torii could locate the target to some Bug-type and Grass-type Pokémon.
At the first time, Torii thought of Wurmple's series of Pokémon, but after thinking about it, he immediately ruled them out.
Beautifly's Stun Spore was brownish-yellow, the toxin brought by Bug Bite was brown mixed with purple, and the toxin of Poison Sting was dark purple.
Dustox was simir, and the symptoms brought by its toxin were red-purple, which was also not consistent with this situation.
As for Grass-type Pokémon, Oddish, Shroomish, etc... the situation seemed to be inconsistent as well.
However, after sorting out the habitats and characteristics of other Pokémon, Torii finally focused on Shroomish.
Although Shroomish's Stun Spore and Poison Powder were different from this symptom, Shroomish still had its own characteristic, which was its unique spores.
These released spores were different from Poison Powder and Toxic, and Shroomish often cherished these spores. They were generally released only when they were very dangerous, and these spores were also mixed with some toxins, which eventually formed a unique powder of Shroomish.
These spores could be used against enemies, and they could also be used to make some medicines. They were good medicinal materials.
Most importantly, moist decaying leaf soil in the forest was its favorite food, so they really liked humid pces.
In this way, the idea was clear. Azurill, Shroomish, was the key to the argumentation of this question.
Next, this question was only half answered. After knowing the reason, you also needed to test how the Breeder would do it.
Generally, people who have no clue would probably write something like using an antidote, but the question would definitely not be so easy. And if you start treatment without completely understanding it, it often causes secondary damage to the Pokémon.
The answer that Torii wrote was: First, let Azurill stop moving, then gently squeeze its tail until Azurill's cheeks turn dark green, and then detoxify with a Pecha Berry or a Razz Berry. Secondly, use an antidote, and if you are not prepared at all, then Azurill needs to waste as little energy as possible, do not use moves, and find an antidote as soon as possible. After detoxification, Azurill needs to release its own energy as much as possible until it is exhausted. This is the safest approach.
Azurill's round and big tail accumutes enough nutrition for growth. After poisoning, the toxin will invade its tail at the first time, and these nutrients will also be infected. In order to prevent the toxin from invading deeper, which is not conducive to Azurill's future growth, Azurill needs to stop moving through its tail first, so that the toxin remains in a mild state. Then, massage the tail. Using the special esticity of their tail can squeeze most of the foreign toxins to the cheeks, which is the first and most effective point of action for detoxification drugs.
Next, things have not been completed. The toxins have not been completely discharged at this time. Although Azurill has no problem at this moment, for safety reasons, it is still necessary to let Azurill continuously release its moves and consume energy to release as much of the toxin that has invaded the energy as possible. In this way, the problem is basically solved perfectly.
Of course, different toxins and different Pokémon poisoning require different methods to solve. This is the difficulty that tests Breeders.
After writing these down with retively rigorous words, Torii breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, doing such a big question was also very brain-draining for him now.
Without wasting time, Torii immediately looked at the second question.
How to make a Meowth master the following moves, please choose one to answer—
Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, Double Team, Water Pulse....
This was another type of question, reted to the aspect of training Pokémon moves. Simirly, this was also a basic skill shared by Breeders and Trainers.
