Seeing the boy momentarily at a loss for words, Tucker laughed and stopped pressing him.
"Congratulations, Yong!"
Kofu's voice suddenly came from beside them.
He and Mr. Scott had come down from the spectator stands to join the two of them, both wearing broad smiles.
Scott said warmly,
"That was a wonderful battle! Congratulations on passing the Battle Factory's trial, Yong! I'm looking forward to seeing how you do next!"
Yong nodded with a smile.
"Thank you both, Mr. Scott, Kofu! I'll do my best!"
Tucker patted Yong on the shoulder, jerked his head at the three of them, and grinned.
"All right! Come with me! I haven't given you your reward yet!"
The three followed Tucker out of the battlefield.
Retracing their steps, they soon returned to the exchange hall.
Tucker went to a counter and took out a box. Returning to the others, he opened it and removed a rectangular badge with a silver base and a patterned face!
It was slightly larger than a Gym Badge. Its face bore a building design symbolizing the Battle Factory, with an emblem on either side representing the Battle Factory's Brain and the challenger!
Tucker smiled as he handed the badge to Yong and said,
"This is the Silver Commemorative Print! It's also called the Frontier Commemorative Stamp! It proves you've passed the Battle Factory's trial! Take it. It's yours now!"
Yong looked at the badge and accepted it carefully, unable to keep his excitement entirely in check.
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Tucker!"
"Hahaha! You earned it!"
Tucker took out a small square case and handed that to Yong as well, explaining,
"This is the matching stamp case. You can have it too! And as a reward for defeating me, I'll also give you ten Battle Points!"
