ALRIGHT so after so fucking long I'm finally getting back into this shit properly😌😌 anyway love you all hope you enjoy chapter's will be updated daily again from
Now on - kirgeo㊗️ ***NOTICE, I do apologize for spelling Clemonts name wrong last chapter 😁😁😁Ash realised now why Clemont had asked which hand he wrote with. His right hand was painful
beyond use. Ash sat in a hall surrounded by wooden desks. He was the only one taking the test. He
had bits of bloody tissue stuffed up each nostril and his clothes were a mess.
‘Simple intelligence test, ash,’ oak explained. ‘Mixture of verbal and mathematical skills. You
have forty-five minutes, starting now.’
The questions got harder as the paper went on. Normally it wouldn’t have been bad but ash hurt
in about five different places, his nose was still bleeding and every time he shut his eyes he felt like he
was drifting backwards. He still had three pages left when time ran out.Ash’s nose had finally stopped bleeding and he could move his right hand again, but he still wasn’t
happy. He didn’t think he’d done well on the first two tests.
The crowded canteen was weird. Everybody stopped talking when Ash got near them. He got
Can’t talk to orange three times before somebody pointed out cutlery. Ash took a block of lasagne
with garlic bread and a fancy looking orange mousse with chocolate shreds on top. When he got to the
table he realised he hadn’t eaten since the previous night and was starving. It was loads better than the
frozen stuff at kanto House.‘Do you like eating chicken?’ oak asked.
‘Sure,’ Ash said.
They were sitting in a tiny office with a desk between them. The only thing on the desk was a metal
cage with a live chicken in it.
‘Would you like to eat this chicken?’
‘It’s alive.’
‘I can see that,ash. Would you like to kill it?’
‘No way.’
‘Why not?’
‘It’s cruel.’
‘ash, are you saying you want to become a vegetarian?’
‘No.’
‘If you think it’s cruel to a kill the chicken, why are you happy to eat it?’
‘I don’t know,’ Ash said. ‘I’m sixteen years old, I eat what gets stuck in front of me.’
‘Ash, I want you to kill the chicken.’
‘This is a dumb test. What does this prove?’ Ash asked.
‘I’m not discussing what the tests are for until they’re all over. Kill the chicken. If you don’t,
somebody else has to. Why should they do it instead of you?’
‘They get paid,’ Ash said.
Oak took his wallet out of his jacket and put a five-poke doller note on top of the cage.
‘Now you’re getting paid, Ash. Kill the chicken.’
‘I.. .’
Ash couldn’t think of any more arguments and felt that at least if he killed the chicken he would
have passed one test.
‘OK. How do I kill it?’
Oak handed Ash a pen.
‘Stab the chicken with the tip of the pen just below the head. A good stab should sever the main
artery down the neck and cut through the windpipe to stop the bird breathing. It should be dead in
about thirty seconds.’
‘This is sick,’ Ash said shaking his head "why am I doing this"
‘Point the chicken’s ass away from yourself. The shock makes it empty its bowels quite violently.’
Ash picked up the pen and reached into the cage._______________________________________
Ash was back where he’d started, in front of the fire in professor Oaks office.
‘So, after the tests, should we offer you a place here?’ Oak asked.
‘Probably not, I guess,’ Ash said.
‘You did well on the first test.’
‘But I didn’t get a single hit in,’ Ash said.
‘clemont is a superb martial artist. You would have passed the test if you’d won, of course, but that
was unlikely. You retired when you knew you couldn’t win and Clemont threatened you with a serious
injury. That was important. There’s nothing heroic about getting seriously injured in the name of
pride. Best of all, you didn’t ask to recover before you did the next test and you didn’t complain once
about your injuries. That shows you have strength of character and a genuine desire to be a part of
Task force 141,.’
‘Clemont was toying with me, there was no point carrying on,’ Ash said.
‘That’s right, Ash. In a real fight Clemont could have used a choke-hold that would have left you
unconscious or dead if he’d wanted to.
‘You also scored decently on the intelligence test. Exceptional on mathematical questions, about
average on the verbal. How do you think you did on the third test?’
‘I killed the chicken,’ Ash said.
‘But does that mean you passed the test?’
‘I thought you asked me to kill it.’
‘The chicken is a test of your moral courage. You pass well if you grab the chicken and kill it
straight away, or if you say you’re opposed to killing and eating animals and refuse to kill it. I thought
you performed poorly. You clearly didn’t want to kill the chicken but you allowed me to bully you
into doing it. I’m giving you a low pass because you eventually reached a decision and carried it
through. You would have failed if you’d dithered or got upset.’
Ash was pleased he’d passed the first three tests.
‘To conclude, Ash, you’ve done good. I’m happy to offer you a place at Task force 141. You’ll be
driven back to Kanto House and I’ll expect your final decision within two days.
