However, Roy had indeed done her a huge favor; the man before her was not only on the Hoenn police’s wanted list but had also poached Pokémon from ecological parks across the region in Kanto.
The Scar-faced Man’s Pokémon were a level 40 Weezing and a level 45 Forretress, and both had learned Self-Destruct.
The Forretress had already been abandoned by him to use Self-Destruct while she was pursuing him, which was the reason she had lost his trail.
The remaining Weezing was poisonous and prone to exploding, so she didn’t dare let her Arcanine get too close, fearing that the opponent would use Self-Destruct and injure her Arcanine; if it were to get poisoned, it would be even harder to deal with.
Yet, such a troublesome and vicious criminal had actually been captured by a youth.
Officer Jenny felt more and more incredulous the more she thought about it.
“You’re welcome.
I believe that assisting Officer Jenny is the duty of every citizen of the League.”
Roy replied with a sincere expression:
Officer Jenny was stunned by Roy’s forced attempt to add value to the situation, but she felt deeply comforted in her heart.
If only everyone could have the same level of awareness as Roy; it wasn’t just a day or two that her work had gone misunderstood.
People often questioned whether she had become a police chief by relying on the influence of her family, completely disregarding the achievements she had made.
After handcuffing the Scar-faced Man, Officer Jenny smelled a foul odor.
Following the source of the smell, she saw that the Scar-faced Man’s crotch was already soaked.
She finally understood why Roy had been covering his nose while talking to her.
Because the smell was truly unbearable, it was better to leave it to the newly arrived intern officer.
“Ro…
Roy, right?
You did a very good job today.
This person led a team to raid a Pokémon Daycare in Lilycove City a year ago and stole many Pokémon eggs; three months ago…”
He had committed so many crimes?
Logically speaking, this kind of desperado should fear nothing, so why was he afraid of ghosts?
Indeed, a clear conscience never fears ghosts.
Roy handed the Scar-faced Man’s Poké Balls and space bracelet to Officer Jenny, while secretly keeping the mask for himself.
With his current strength, he couldn’t tame a Gym Level Weezing, so keeping it was useless, and he would have to be constantly on guard against it.
After taking the Weezing’s Poké Ball, Officer Jenny extended her palm toward Roy once again.
Huh?
Confused, Roy extended his own hand and shook Officer Jenny’s slender hand.
Feeling the warmth suddenly covering her palm, Officer Jenny realized that Roy was holding her hand tightly and looking at her with a sincere expression.
Officer Jenny could only explain, “I meant for you to give me your Trainer certificate.”
Roy: What Trainer certificate?
Previously, Roy had only heard that one needed a Junior Trainer certificate to travel, but he didn’t know much about the specific certificates.
“You don’t have a Trainer certificate?”
Roy shook his head.
Upon learning that Roy didn’t have a Trainer certificate, Officer Jenny patiently explained to him:
A Trainer certificate is the League’s recognition of a Trainer’s strength, representing a Trainer officially recognized by the League.
If you own two Pokémon above level 30, you can apply for the Junior Trainer qualification battle, and after passing the battle assessment, you can obtain the corresponding certificate.
Trainers holding a Junior Trainer certificate can receive a monthly subsidy of 2000 Pokedollars.
Similarly, if you own two Pokémon above level 40, you can obtain a Gym Level Trainer certificate after passing the League assessment.
But don’t misunderstand, possessing a Gym Level Trainer certificate does not mean you can become a Gym Leader.
A Gym Leader needs at least 3 Pokémon at the Elite level, and that is just the most basic condition; holding a Gym Level Trainer certificate means you are qualified to become an apprentice at a Gym.
The League will provide a monthly subsidy of 10000 Pokedollars.
If you own three Pokémon above level 50 and pass the League assessment, you can obtain a Senior Trainer certificate.
At this point, you are a pillar of the League and can become eligible to apply to be a League Prosecutor.
The League will provide a monthly subsidy of 100000 Pokedollars.
As for higher ranks like Junior Elite, Mid-level Elite, and High-level Elite, those were not within Roy’s reach for now, so Officer Jenny didn’t continue.
Furthermore, possessing a Trainer certificate allows you to get discounts when purchasing items at the League Store and when healing Pokémon at the Pokémon Center.
Similarly, you can go to the Pokémon Center to accept tasks and earn points, which can be exchanged for items from the League warehouse, though these points can only be used within the Hoenn League.
Of course, the League won’t give Trainers so many benefits for nothing; Trainers must also fulfill their obligations.
For example, if official institutions like the Pokémon Center are threatened, or if there are tasks that need to be completed, Trainers cannot refuse.
“I see, so that’s how it is.”
After Officer Jenny’s detailed explanation, Roy roughly understood the logic behind it: it was a ranking system established by the League to win over the majority of Trainers.
But currently, both his Litwick and Duskull were still two levels away from reaching level 30.
Officer Jenny indicated that since Roy hadn’t obtained a Trainer certificate yet, she could compensate him with Pokedollars or keep a record of his contribution today.
Once Roy passed the Junior Trainer qualification exam, he could come to Lilycove City again to have the points added to his account.
“Also…
could you let go of my hand?”
Roy quickly let go of Officer Jenny’s hand and expressed his embarrassment, though his beaming smile didn’t show any sign of it.
While Roy was thinking, Officer Jenny still advised him to choose the points.
Points could be exchanged for Pokedollars, but Pokedollars could not be exchanged for points; of course, it depended on Roy’s choice.
After hearing Officer Jenny’s words, Roy decided to take her advice.
He would come to Lilycove City again next time.
The Scar-faced Man’s mission was classified as a C-rank mission, which rewarded 500 League points.
Additionally, because Roy spoke so well, Officer Jenny used her family authority to grant an extra 50 points.
It was a total of 550 points.
According to Officer Jenny, this could be exchanged for a year’s supply of general pokéblock, or if Roy saved up more, he could exchange 2000 points for a low-level (Water, Fire, or Grass) Evolution Stone.
