After countering Loudred's Circle Throw, Zhang Cheng immediately ordered Pidgeotto to attack. He wanted to finish the battle quickly and claim the title of Beginner Trainer.
"Pidge! Pidge!"
Pidgeotto beat its wings, frantically drawing in energy. The energy coated both wings in a silvery sheen as Steel Wing activated.
"Loudred, use Rock Slide!"
The examiner immediately ordered Loudred to use a Rock-type move, which was super effective against Pidgeotto.
Loudred used Rock-type energy to create a mass of rocks in the air, then sent them crashing down at Pidgeotto below.
Pidgeotto beat its wings and charged at Loudred.
After taking Steel Wing, Loudred's HP was nearly depleted. Meanwhile, Pidgeotto had taken a Rock Slide at full health, leaving it with just under half its HP.

Pidgeotto charged at the critically injured Loudred at top speed. Before Loudred could retaliate, Pidgeotto sent it flying, wiping out the last of its HP.
Loudred was unable to battle, which also meant Zhang Cheng had passed the Normal-class Trainer assessment.

"Do you have any questions about the battle rules?" the examiner asked Ye Tian.
"No, I'm ready," Ye Tian said confidently.
Seeing that Ye Tian was ready, the examiner pressed a button beside him. A lush, grassy battlefield appeared between them.
"A grassy battlefield, huh? Gloom, I choose you!" The examiner sent out his first Pokémon.
"Butterfree, get ready for battle!" Ye Tian sent out Butterfree as his lead.
Ye Tian had complete faith in his Butterfree. It was his first
