His job is to oversee the entrance exam for the [[Pokémon League]]. He also gives [[Poké Ball]]s to the test-takers during the final portion of the test to compete in a battle against him.
He first appeared where {{Ash}}, {{TRT}}, and [[Nurse Joy]] signed up for the Pokémon League Admissions Exam. After signing up, Ash gave him his Pokémon on the counter, save for {{AP|Pikachu}} in which he gave to {{an|Misty}}, as he wasn't allowed to have his own Pokémon during the exam. As the exam began, the instructor proctored the students on the first and second part of it. When [[Jessie]] was getting disruptive during the second part of the exam as she thought that the questions were hard, the instructor expelled her.
During the third part of the entrance exam, he told Ash and [[James]] to pick a set of Pokémon for the match while Nurse Joy battled another instructor. After Nurse Joy won, the head instructor battled James. Since James sent out three Pokémon against the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}, he was immediately disqualified and expelled. Ash battled him next and went up against his three [[Eeveelutions]]. When Team Rocket's {{MTR}} freed the Meowth who was battling {{p|Vaporeon}}, the instructor wanted to catch him but before he did so, James returned with the instructor's Pokémon. He ordered them to attack the instructor but the instructor did the same. {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} turned around and attacked Team Rocket.
After Team Rocket was defeated, the instructor had to restart the exam because of Team Rocket's interference. He offered Ash to retake it but Ash declined as he chose to stick to battling to get to the Pokémon League.

The first out of three Pokémon received, {{Ash}} sent out Weezing to battle against the instructor's {{p|Flareon}}. Again, he wasn't too pleased with his choice. Todd noted that his response held the same expression as Weezing and could not help but take a few pictures, which angered Ash all the more. Weezing first successfully dodged Flareon's {{m|Flamethrower}} and then retaliated with a {{m|Smog}} attack. Flareon was then told to launch another Flamethrower at the Smog but it was sent flying back when there was an explosion caused by the collision of the two attacks. Weezing then used {{m|SmokeScreen}} while Flareon used {{m|Leer}} but its Leer was unable to penetrate through the smoke. Weezing then won the battle by using a {{m|Tackle}} while Flareon was still trapped in the smoke. This was the first battle won by Ash in the battle portion of the exam.

Weezing then won the battle by using Tackle while Flareon was still trapped in the smoke. This was the only battle won by Ash in the battle portion of the exam.


Later, when Team Rocket attacked, Ash had Weezing use SmokeScreen on [[James]], causing him unable to breathe. Weezing then used {{m|Explosion}} to send Team Rocket blasting off.

After his Weezing had been defeated, {{Ash}} sent Arbok out to battle against the instructor's {{p|Jolteon}}. Recognizing it to be a Pokémon Team Rocket also had, Ash wasn't too pleased with what he received. While the instructor commanded an {{m|Agility}}, Ash tried to remember what attacks Arbok knew. He remembered just in time and ordered Arbok to use {{m|Glare}}. This paralyzed Jolteon and stopped it right in its tracks. Ash then called for a {{m|Wrap}} attack, but the move failed, because Ash had forgotten about Jolteon's spikes. This caused Arbok to hop back in great pain. While Arbok was still hopping about, the instructor ordered Jolteon to use {{m|Thunder}}, which instantly fried Arbok and thus rendered it unable to battle.

{{Ash}} sent Meowth to battle against the instructor's {{p|Vaporeon}}. While Ash seemed to be rather pleased with the Pokémon he received, his friends in the audience were all rather surprised by Meowth's appearance. {{MTR}} cheered it from the sidelines and shouted for Ash to use {{m|Fury Swipes}} when he was unable to think of a move to use. Ash responded with the attack but Vaporeon used {{m|Ice Beam}}, which quickly froze Meowth into a sphere of ice. Angered, Team Rocket's Meowth jumped onto the battlefield and began scratching Ash's face, punishing him for treating a fellow Meowth like so. He then freed the instructor's Meowth with a kick. The instructor wanted Team Rocket's Meowth because it could talk and tried throwing a [[Poké Ball]] at it, only to be knocked away by his Ivysaur's {{m|Vine Whip}}. These actions caused Team Rocket to blow its cover.
Ash sent Meowth to battle against the instructor's {{p|Vaporeon}}, and by now, having received yet another Pokémon owned by Team Rocket seemed to amuse him.  He initially did not remember what sort of attacks Meowth could use, but after hearing someone in the crowd calling for a Fury Swipes attack (that someone being {{TRT}}'s own {{MTR}}), he ordered Meowth to use Fury Swipes. However, Vaporeon was able to defeat Meowth almost immediately with a single {{m|Ice Beam}}.


When Team Rocket attack, Ash ordered Meowth to use Fury Swipes on Team Rocket's Meowth. When Team Rocket was sent blasting off, they blasted off with the wrong Meowth. Team Rocket ended up with the instructor's Meowth while the instructor was given Team Rocket's Meowth by Todd. This temporary switch was fixed in the next episode but the instructor's Meowth was never seen again.
When Team Rocket attacked, Ash used Meowth, Weezing, and Arbok against them. Meowth attacked its Team Rocket counterpart with Fury Swipes. When Weezing sent Team Rocket blasting off, they blasted off with the instructor's Meowth instead of their own, who was handed to the instructor by {{Todd}}. This temporary switch was fixed before the next episode.

Pikachu was the first Pokémon used by [[James]] of [[Team Rocket]] in his battle portion of the exam, sent to battle against the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. When he first sent it out, James was overjoyed, noting that he had been destroyed by [[Ash's Pikachu]] so many times that he knew all of Pikachu's attacks by heart. This was viewed to be a rather lame exclamation by both his team members [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}. James ordered Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} and was quite pleased when Pikachu responded to his command. However, Thunderbolt proved to be useless and Graveler responded with a {{m|Tackle}}, which sent Pikachu bouncing off of James's head and rendering it unable to battle. At this point, James expressed his confusion as to why the Thunderbolt had not worked. The instructor explained that {{type2|Electric}} attacks did not work against a {{type2|Ground}} like Graveler. This prompted to James to send out Ivysaur and Charizard and also led to him being expelled from the exam.

Later, Meowth ordered Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder}} on the instructor but the instructor told it to turn around and attack Team Rocket instead. It was at this point that it was officially mentioned that these Pokémon belonged to the instructor because he was the one who trained them.

Get it? Because the name is unknown. The subject of this article has no official name.
The name currently in use is a fan designator; see below for more information.
The instructor

The Pokémon League entrance exam instructor is a character of the day who appeared in The Ultimate Test. Since he was not given an official name, this article will refer to him by his title.

His job is to oversee the entrance exam for the Pokémon League. He also gives Poké Balls to the test-takers during the final portion of the test to compete in a battle against him.

He first appeared where Ash, Team Rocket, and Nurse Joy signed up for the Pokémon League Admissions Exam. After signing up, Ash gave him his Pokémon on the counter, save for Pikachu in which he gave to Misty, as he wasn't allowed to have his own Pokémon during the exam. As the exam began, the instructor proctored the students on the first and second part of it. When Jessie was getting disruptive during the second part of the exam as she thought that the questions were hard, the instructor expelled her.

During the third part of the entrance exam, he told Ash and James to pick a set of Pokémon for the match while Nurse Joy battled another instructor. After Nurse Joy won, the head instructor battled James. Since James sent out three Pokémon against the instructor's Graveler, he was immediately disqualified and expelled. Ash battled him next and went up against his three Eeveelutions. When Team Rocket's Meowth freed the Meowth who was battling Vaporeon, the instructor wanted to catch him but before he did so, James returned with the instructor's Pokémon. He ordered them to attack the instructor but the instructor did the same. Pikachu, Ivysaur, and Charizard turned around and attacked Team Rocket.

After Team Rocket was defeated, the instructor had to restart the exam because of Team Rocket's interference. He offered Ash to retake it but Ash declined as he chose to stick to battling to get to the Pokémon League.

Pokémon League entrance exam instructor's Weezing
Weezing
Weezing is one of the many Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was the first Pokémon used by Ash in the final portion of the exam.

The first out of three Pokémon received, Ash sent out Weezing to battle against the instructor's Flareon. He wasn't too pleased with his choice. Todd noted that his response held the same expression as Weezing and could not help but take a few pictures, which angered Ash even more. Flareon started with a Flamethrower, and as Weezing dodged the move, Ash came up with an idea, and told Weezing to use Smog. Flareon launched another Flamethrower at the Smog, but the attacks collided, resulting in an explosion that sent Flareon flying back. Flareon recovered from the blast and started to use Leer, which Ash countered by ordering Weezing to use Smokescreen. The tactic worked, as Flareon's Leer could not penetrate the smoke. Weezing then won the battle by using Tackle while Flareon was still trapped in the smoke. This was the only battle won by Ash in the battle portion of the exam.

Later, when Team Rocket attacked, Ash used Weezing, Arbok, and Meowth to battle them. Weezing attacked James by blasting him with gas. Ash then told Weezing to use Explosion, which resulted in Team Rocket blasting off.

Weezing's known moves are Smog, Smokescreen, Tackle, and Explosion.

Arbok is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was used by Ash as his second Pokémon in the final portion of the test.

After his Weezing had been defeated, Ash sent Arbok out to battle against the instructor's Jolteon. Like with Weezing, Ash was not thrilled with this turn of events. Jolteon started the battle with Agility, and after a few moments of thinking, Ash started to remember Arbok's moves, and ordered a Glare attack. Though this worked initially, Ash made the mistake of following this up with Wrap, causing Arbok to run afoul of Jolteon's spikes. As Arbok hopped in pain, Jolteon was able to shake off the Glare and defeat Arbok with Thunder.

Later, when Team Rocket attacked, Ash battled them using Arbok, Weezing, and Meowth. Arbok took on Jessie, squeezing her with Wrap.

Ash sent Meowth to battle against the instructor's Vaporeon, and by now, having received yet another Pokémon owned by Team Rocket seemed to amuse him.  He initially did not remember what sort of attacks Meowth could use, but after hearing someone in the crowd calling for a Fury Swipes attack (that someone being Team Rocket's own Meowth), he ordered Meowth to use Fury Swipes. However, Vaporeon was able to defeat Meowth almost immediately with a single Ice Beam.

When Team Rocket attacked, Ash used Meowth, Weezing, and Arbok against them. Meowth attacked its Team Rocket counterpart with Fury Swipes. When Weezing sent Team Rocket blasting off, they blasted off with the instructor's Meowth instead of their own, who was handed to the instructor by Todd. This temporary switch was fixed before the next episode.

Meowth's only known move is Fury Swipes.

Pokémon League entrance exam instructor's Pikachu
Pikachu
Pikachu is one of the Pokémon owned by the Pokémon League entrance exam instructor. It was the first Pokémon used by James in the final portion of the test.

Pikachu was the first Pokémon used by James in his battle portion of the exam, sent to battle against the instructor's Graveler. When he first sent it out, James was overjoyed, noting that he had been destroyed by Ash's Pikachu so many times that he knew all of Pikachu's attacks by heart. This was viewed to be a rather lame exclamation by his team members, Jessie and Meowth. James ordered Pikachu to use Thunderbolt and was quite pleased when Pikachu responded to his command. However, Thunderbolt proved to be useless and Graveler responded with a Tackle, which sent Pikachu bouncing off of James's head and rendering it unable to battle. At this point, James expressed his confusion as to why the Thunderbolt had not worked. The instructor explained that Electric-type attacks do not work against a Ground type like Graveler. This prompted to James to send out Ivysaur and Charizard, which caused him to be expelled from the exam.

Later, Meowth ordered Pikachu to use Thunder on the instructor but the instructor told it to turn around and attack Team Rocket instead. At this point, it was officially mentioned that these Pokémon belonged to the instructor because he was the one who trained them.

Pikachu's known moves are Thunderbolt and Thunder.
