Pokémon Court

Building a Gym isn’t something that can be done with just words. To pass the examination, Terrance must make ample preparations in advance.

For example, take the referee. Professional Gym battles aren’t like casual street battles; each match requires a certified referee to oversee it.

A good referee is even extremely important for a competition. While this job may seem simple, there are many intricacies involved. For instance, the professional referees in the League Conference earn salaries that would make most people envious, yet their professional skills are equally top-notch.

The most basic requirement for a Gym is to have a certified referee. It’s essential, and every Gym must have one.

Since Terrance’s goal in establishing the Gym is to receive subsidies from the League, it wouldn’t make sense to hire someone from outside. Better to keep it within the family and have someone from the Old Green House take on the job.

Among them, both Ayan and Scarlet are boys of similar age. Currently, they are the only two children at Old Green House who have work experience and have faced the challenges of the real world. So, Terrance feels confident having them go for the professional referee certification.

This certificate is not difficult to obtain; with a certain amount of training, anyone can do it. As long as one is not physically disabled, has no issues with IQ, pays the tuition in full, and maintains a serious attitude, it is rare for someone to fail.

The hard part isn’t getting the certification; it’s finding a job. Even though there are countless Trainers and Trainer battles, professional referees are only needed for Gym battles or regular competitions.

For referees, the job isn’t tough, but finding stable employment is difficult. Without the right connections, it’s hard to secure a stable job.
