Directly Taking the Advanced Breeder Assessment?
While waiting, two more Nurse Joy arrived at the gate. One of Nurse Joy looked much younger than the other, with a more youthful face and a height that barely reached Roy's waist.
However, she exuded an air of arrogance, an arrogance that comes from genius.
"Agatha."
The older Nurse Joy paused for a moment after seeing Agatha, greeted Agatha, and Agatha nodded in return.
The young Nurse Joy merely glanced at Roy before the two arrived at the gates of the Joy family.
Just as Roy thought the two might knock on the door again, a Metallic Color facial recognition device suddenly unfolded on the door. After scanning the two's facial features, the door slowly opened.
The two entered, and the door slowly closed again.
Or is it intelligent?
A few minutes later, the closed door was opened from the inside, and Nurse Joy and Lucario walked out of the main entrance of the Joy family.
The other person also had the classic Joy Family face, but this Nurse Joy looked significantly older, with several noticeable wrinkles on her face.
The difference was that the other person wasn't wearing a regular nurse's uniform, but rather a white coat, making them look more like a Pokémon Researcher, and they exuded an aura of authority.
Even someone as shrewd as Nurse Joy ran over to Kikuko after seeing Agatha.
"Sister Agatha, what brings you here to see me?"
"Does being busy mean I can't come see you?"
Roy was rare to see Agatha speaking to someone in a joking tone, so it seemed that Nurse Joy had a pretty good relationship with her teacher.
"Don't be ridiculous. Don't I know you? You only come to me when you need something. What do you want this time?"
Agatha first gave Roy a brief introduction of the girl in front of her, Lando Nurse Joy, Joy was Gengar, the Top-level Breeder who had been customizing and manufacturing Pokéblock for her Gengar.
Joy Lando glanced at Roy behind Agatha and teased:
"Is this the apprentice you told me about before?"
Young man, you're in good shape! Let Auntie take a look.
Unlike the usual Lando Joy, after speaking Nurse Joy, she didn't wait for Roy's consent and immediately started kneading Roy's cheeks.
Roy didn't dare to resist and could only let the other person knead him. When the other person kneaded him, Roy felt as if his face was being rubbed on sandpaper.
This is clearly due to frequent use of the Berry Blender and Pokéblock Maker, resulting in calluses on the inside of the fingers where the joystick is frequently used.
Roy looked to Agatha for help.
Agatha ignored Roy's pleading look and spoke directly to Joy Lando:
"I'm here to help him with the breeder qualification test, and I hope you can teach him a thing or two."
Even when faced with her own Guimi, Agatha's tone remained indifferent.
Joy Lando was already used to Agatha's tone, but after hearing Agatha's next words, he quickly withdrew his hand from rubbing Roy's face.
"I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to mentor any apprentices. The Dragon Clan in the Johto and the two major clans in the Kanto Region have both placed large orders with me."
However, I can send him to our Joy Family Breeding School; the teachers there are just as good as me.
Joy Lando didn't have time to teach students anymore, but she didn't refuse her best friend Agatha's request and was willing to recommend Roy to attend the Joy family's training course. The instructor there was also a Nurse Joy, who was an Advanced Breeder.
"Let's talk about it after his assessment."
"Assessment? Assessment is fine. I can arrange an assessment for him as Beginner Breeder right now."
After saying that, Joy Lando planned to arrange for someone to help Roy with the assessment, but Agatha's next words disrupted her plans.
"Give him an Advanced Breeder assessment right away."
"Fine, whatever you say goes, Advanced Breeder exam... wait! What?"
Joy Lando seemed to have heard something unbelievable. Could it be that the young man before her was already an Intermediate Breeder?
This doesn't make sense, does it?
The youngest Intermediate Breeder right now comes from their family. How come she's never heard of such a person in the breeding world?
"He's not Intermediate Breeder yet. What I mean is, I want him to skip levels and go directly to the Advanced Breeder assessment."
"Then what about before him..."
Agatha Knob, indicating that Roy had not undergone any breeder qualification assessment before.
Upon learning that Roy had never undergone any similar breeder assessments before, Joy Lando wondered if she had misheard.
Someone who hasn't even passed the Beginner Breeder assessment is going to take the Advanced Breeder assessment right away?
Isn't that pure fantasy?
Has Agatha gone mad?
Moreover, it is against the rules to directly take the Advanced Breeder assessment right from the start, unless someone is willing to vouch for him.
Similar to the rules of the Arena, this kind of cross-level exam usually requires someone to vouch for it.
Furthermore, the guarantor must be at least an Intermediate King level Pokémon Trainer, Top-level Breeder, or a research doctor like Professor Oak.
Only then would they be qualified to vouch for someone like Roy, who had no prior assessment experience and jumped directly to the next level of assessment.
"I'll vouch for him."
"You... you're going to vouch for him?"
Joy Lando looked at her Guimi friend, Agatha, with a puzzled expression.
"What? My identity isn't enough to vouch for him?"
"No... that's not it."
Joy Lando had no idea what kind of spell the boy had cast on Agatha. Agatha was usually a very rational person, so why would she be so impulsive as to risk her reputation?
Could it be that this young man is actually quite capable?
Looking at Roy scratching his head and grinning foolishly, Joy Lando still didn't believe that a young man like Roy could create Advanced Pokéblock.
Most importantly, she noticed that although Roy had calluses on his hands, the calluses were located at the base of his index and middle fingers, which looked exactly like the calluses left by Fighting type who had been practicing boxing for a long time.
There were no calluses or anything like that left on the inner joints of the hands from years of operating the Pokéblock Maker and Berry Blender.
Joy Lando wanted to persuade Agatha to let Roy take the Beginner Breeder assessment first, saying that one must take things one step at a time and eat one bite at a time.
Because if Roy fails this test, Agatha's reputation as her guarantor will also be affected.
But Agatha remained unmoved and insisted on vouching for Roy, allowing him to directly undergo the Advanced Breeder assessment.
