It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 12
Hoshino's expression was completely stunned at the moment. He had always thought that what these people said about going to school was a joke, but it didn't seem to be the case.

So here comes the question, why do you need to go to school when you are a trainer? Shouldn't you start to travel when you are in your early teens? Why?
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he asked a question. Hara's expression became more serious when he heard this: "Going to travel at the age of ten? What can a ten-year-old kid do? He can't do anything!"

"Knowledge of survival in the wild, knowledge of Pokémon cultivation and battles, ways to deal with various situations...these must be thoroughly learned in school before you can travel!"

"..."

Hoshino was stunned. Aren't these all supposed to be innate skills that are inherent in the Pokémon world, and they still need to learn?
Perhaps seeing that he didn't know much about it, Hara continued: "Our Alola region started relatively late, because of its small size and population, it is relatively backward in many aspects, and it has always been used as a resort area in the past. to look at."

"It was more than ten years ago, after the unremitting efforts of some trainers who came back from Alola to study in other areas, the outside world recognized that our area is a serious area, not a small country. .”

"Later, in order to keep up with the development of other regions, our side also began to pay attention to education, and built the only Pokémon school in the Alola region in Hauola City."

"At that time, our four island kings all attached great importance to this. There were not enough teachers and educational resources in the school, so we went to other areas to spend money to find it. Finally, it took several years to finally stabilize and start to develop. "

"Now in the Alola area, as long as the children reach the age of 12, they will be forced to go to school. Unlike other areas, we don't need to pay tuition fees here, and the six-year compulsory education is paid, so you can rest assured!"

This is the famous Hala persuasion. Hoshino knows that he can't run away. As long as he agrees, he will be considered an Alola.

He didn't agree immediately, but just let out a long sigh: "I just want to have a legal identity certificate and become a trainer. Is it so difficult?"

Hearing his muttering, Hara suddenly laughed and said, "Want to become a trainer? Just go to school."

"Ok?"

Seeing that Hoshino was puzzled again, Hara smiled, and continued tirelessly: "It seems that you lack a lot of common sense, so you have to go to school to study hard! In the past, there were no requirements for the profession of a trainer, and anyone could be a trainer." , leading to a lot of guys who are overconfident, children who are only in their early ten years old, who don't understand anything and run into the wild..."

"In order to prevent a sharp decrease in the population, educational institutions and the Pokémon League Association later issued regulations. If you don't go to school, you can't become a trainer, you can't legally own Pokémon, and you can't go to many places without a diploma. "

"..."

Hoshino is convinced, is this school a must?Pure waste of time.

But if it is a six-year compulsory education starting at the age of 12, then you can graduate at the age of 18. For me, it is a three-year period!

Perhaps seeing what he was thinking, Hara suddenly said again: "It is true that as long as you are 18 years old, you can get a graduation certificate from Pokémon School, and you can go anywhere by then, but..."

"Ok?"

"But if you don't continue to go to university, you won't be able to take the exam to improve your trainer level. Professional knowledge in this area is very important. If the level is too low, it will be very difficult for you to take the civil service exam or go to the Pokémon League Association to participate in large-scale competitions in the future."

"Does the trainer still have to take the fourth and sixth grades!"

"Haha, but don't worry, our Pokémon School in Alola is a two-in-one service, and the university is also together. After the six-year compulsory education, you can directly enter the university in place. There is no such treatment in other places!"

"...What kind of Pokémon world are you guys here!"

Hoshino is really stupid. The weird Pokémon in Kabukicho are outrageous enough, but I didn't expect the humans to be even more outrageous.

Traveling to this world, isn't it just to travel around and meet Pokémon? Why do you still have to go to school to take the fourth and sixth grades? You have been tortured in your previous life, and you suddenly don't want to go to school!

His mentality has fluctuated a little bit, but he still lives steadily, but he always feels that what he is facing is not some island king, but some school admissions office, he will not be sold by the dull king, right?

With these doubts, he asked curiously: "By the way, what kind of Pokémon school is this, how do classes usually go? Is there morning self-study and evening self-study?"

"Normally, from 9:12 am to 1:4 pm, and from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm, there are six hours of classes a day, and no classes on weekends, but there are regular field survival courses, and there are also activities to investigate ecology in other areas or interact with other schools. "

"Oh……"

Now Hoshino finally felt relieved, he thought it was the kind that went to work from 6 am to 10 pm, but it turned out that he was quite free.

But think about it, this is a Pokémon school, the main purpose is to train trainers, so naturally it won't completely stuff you into an ivory tower.

In this way, I will have a lot more time. I will go to university after three years of mixing. Going to school will always be done in a mixed way.

"In that case, I'll go to school, so when can I go?"

"It's the weekend now, I will help you get your identity certificate later, leave the rest to me, you can go to school directly the day after tomorrow, and I will let Daidaiwang pass on the rest to you."

"Thank you so much then!"

Although I still feel that there is something weird, Hoshino can't figure it out, but this luck is pretty good, except for the money owed, everything else has been serviced in one package. As expected of the Alola region, it is indeed hospitable.

"By the way, I'm 15 years old now. I missed three years of education. Is it really okay?"

Hearing this, Hara laughed twice, and responded: "Of course it's no problem, just start from the beginning, that's right, start from the first grade!"

"???"

The script is wrong!Hoshino was stunned, shouldn't it be the fourth grade?In other words, I have to wait six years to get my diploma?To travel freely?
"Don't do it, don't do it!"

Where did he get so much time, so he said to Hara with a serious expression: "Actually, I know a lot about Pokémon very well. There is no need to start from scratch, and I have been wandering in the wild before, so I can deal with various situations long ago." Already!"

"is it?"

Hara glanced at the dull king, but the dull king didn't know much, but he nodded.

After learning about it, he looked at Hoshino again and said, "Indeed, it seems that you are already ahead in other aspects except that you are not a trainer, and it will waste a lot of time to start from the beginning..."

"Uh-huh!"

"So……"

As he said that, Hara suddenly noticed the motorcycle lizard chasing the wild little Duer and asked, "Is that your Pokémon?"

"That's right!"

"But it seems that it has never been tamed, and even if it is tamed, you are not a legal trainer."

"..."

Seeing that Hoshino was silent, Hara suddenly smiled and asked, "Then do you think this is okay?"

"Ok?"

"Since you said you have rich professional knowledge, let's prove it through a Pokémon battle. As long as you can win, you don't need to start from scratch, and I will give you a Poké Ball!"

"A gift?"

"After all, it is the duty of the king of our island to give newcomers the initial Pokémon. You already have a motorcycle lizard, so I can only give you a ball to subdue it. How about it?"

"Are you fighting..."

Hoshino looked at the motorcycle lizard that was still playing around, and he could only use it to fight, but since Hara had already proposed...

"Then come on, Pokémon Battle!"
