Your apprenticeship has been approved! Within a week of submitting the proper paperwork, Varian will receive a package from POKEGO. Inside the package will be a welcome letter from Professor Oak, his apprentice uniform (you can decide what it looks like based on the linked examples above), some textbooks, a pokeball for catching his starter Pokemon, and a piece of parchment paper and a calligraphy brush.
The parchment will have instructions indicating that Varian should write his tree code name on this paper when he's ready. Whenever he writes it down, the name will glow briefly before the parchment and brush disappear. From that point onward, the name he wrote on the parchment will feel as much like his name as Varian does.
Some specific notes:
Yeah needless to say Varian will raise ALL the red flgs with his background check. Fortunately since he was forthcoming with it on his application, he won't be ejected immediately!
Varian will be expected to undergo INTENSE psychological evaluatons from multiple psychologists. In addition, the written testimonies about his behavior from his parent (Amal) and his teachers will definitely help! Zodiac will also be interviewed about his time working with them.
Varian will also be expected to continue attending therapy.
While scientific ethics is part of the mandatory courses, Varian will be expected to do an additional course of it to drive the point home. It can be done in a couple weeks if done at a reasonable pace- or over a weekend if he crams but please don't die Varian.
Since he's a minor, once he graduates from the program he'll be enrolled in the POKEPUPS program until he turns 18 and graduates high school. He'll also be fine living with Amal because yeah, he's a minor and POKEGO isn't interested in breaking up families.
Should everything go smoothly with his coursework and psychological evals (which his mentor will be the judge of), Varian will have his final assessment in December or January. His assessment will be oversaw by Professor Rowan, and it will consist of a written exam for general knowledge, a paper or presentation about engineering (nothing destructive Varian), and a practical exam that examines how well he's been working with his Pokemon (is he treating them well? Has he trained them? How do they work as a team? etc).
Should it not go smoothly, then his apprenticeship will continue until he's ready.
