Intro

.

The gang were enjoying a relaxation in a park. Trevor wanted to stay with them a bit more to see more of their pokemon. Ash was training his Pikachu, Doduo and Arbok.Misty was trying to teach Psyduck how to swim, but no result. Brock was doing some otger works. Trevor was watching.

"Hey Ash," said Trevor "I think you should take the Pokemon League Admissions Exam. PLA Exam in short".

"What's that?" asked Ash.

"It's an exam you take," explained Trevor  "If you pass it you will be admitted into the pokemon league".

He then explained that the exam allows people whose age or health keeps them from traveling to be admitted to the Pokémon League. It is also taken by people who are unable to travel due to work. Passing the exam rewards the passing Trainers with a single Badge that grants access to the Pokémon League.

Ash wasn't so sure about that. He liked travelling and collecting the gym badges. But he thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to check it out.

"Okay I'll try",he said.

They went to the building where the exam was taking place. Ash walked in and signed himself in. After filling out papers he was ready. The instructor said that he had to leave his pokeballs on the counter. So Ash did and left Pikachu in Brock's care. He saw a Nurse Joy in the building. Nurse Joy explained that she wanted to become a pokemon master. Jessie and James were in the building too. When James was young, he also have the dream of becoming Champion. Jessie only entered to show James that she is nothing less than him.

Soon the exams had begun. The first test was about a person's knowledge of pokemon. They had to answer true or false. Ash found this easy because he had studied about pokemon and travelling with pokemon had helped him so much as well. The next test was tricky. It was about a person's ability to recognize pokemon. That wasn't easy because there were some pokemon that you couldn't recognize that well. Jessie got in a rampage and called the test a joke. The head instructor expelled her immediately. James felt sorry for Jessie and declared that he would try hard for her too.

After the test was finished the scoreboards came up. Ash managed to get to the high score board.

"I thought that the visual portion of the test was impossible" he said.

James got the lowest score and hung his head in shame.

The last part of the test was pokemon battles. They had to battle the head instructor with three pokemon. There were belts, that held three pokemon and you weren't allowed to see what pokemon you received until the battle. Ash and James picked up their belts and got ready.

James went up against the head instructor before Ash. The first pokemon James sent out was a Pikachu and the the head instructor sent out Graveler. James had Pikachu use thunderbolt on Graveler. Of course that didn't work because electric types don't work on rock and ground types. James became frustrated and sent out his last two pokemon; an Ivysaur and a Charizard. The head instructor got angry at James's cheating and expelled him.
