Chapter 69 - Ranks in Pride (1/2)

Ranks in Pride

The next day,

Bruno continued to train his Pokemons. Zubat was learning 'Hypnosis', Pidgeotto was practicing 'agility', Scyther with 'X-scissor' and Slakoth was training its moves. The training was going quite well considering that they just started yesterday. The same routine went on for the whole day. After some time, Slakoth took its much-needed rest. It was now 5 p.m. and he was in the great hall again.

Althea started to tell the pass rate of these young people. Now they were young trainers. Only 25 out of 50 had passed the test. 5 of them were seriously injured yesterday, 10 of them were not very capable and the last 10 of them chose Honedge. None of the trainers managed to subdue Honedge. This was quite expected. It may seem quite cool to have a sword-type Pokemon which was considered as a Royal sword for the Kings but it was equally hard to get it. Honedge unlike others doesn't submit due to greed or power. It had an innate ability to know, whether the trainer is right for it. If the trainer didn't have the character of a King or good leadership abilities, it would not follow the trainer.

”Now, the results are in. I am quite disappointed in this batch of youngsters. Only 50% of you passed. You! yes you, What were you thinking choosing Honedge. The name of our organization is Pride, not arrogance. Anyhow, I would like to congratulate those who have passed this test. You are now an official member of Pride. So take pride in it. Your duties and rights would be explained to you. As for those who could not pass the test, don't feel disheartened. We are not heartless to throw you out. You would be in the ranks of 'Cleaners'. But first, let me tell you about the ranks.

They are:

1. Cleaners

2. Member

3. Elite member

4. Executive

5. And Boss.

Cleaners are not an actual members of Pride. They would not have any Pokemon, and would do menial jobs like those of inner guards, cleaning the place and many more. You would get a minimum amount of points for this, and when your points reach 200, you would again be given a chance for this test. If you pass it you would be a member of Pride

Those who passed are now in the 2nd rank, 'Member'. The difference between 'member' and 'elite member' is not much. You could choose a hard mission, make your own team and have a say with 'Executive'.

As for 'executive', there can only be one in each branch. Here, I am the 'executive'

And there can only be 1 boss in the region.
