===Questions=== 
There are several different questions that each apprentice can ask; some will always be asked while some questions may not be asked at all. Apprentices will ask the player a random number of questions, ranging from a minimum of five to a maximum of 14.
Question 	Answers
Which Battle Tower level setting should they use?	Level 50 or Open Level
Which Pokémon should they use? 	This question will be asked three times and give the player a choice between two random Pokémon from a set list.
Which item should their Pokémon hold? 	The player chooses an item from their bag for the apprentice to have their Pokémon hold. The player may also choose for the Pokémon to not hold anything. If an item has already been suggested to the current apprentice previously they will ask if the player means for the Pokémon to not hold anything. If the apprentice doesn't ask about a hold item for a particular Pokémon, that Pokémon won't have a held item.
Which Pokémon should they send out first? 	The player chooses one from the three Pokémon on the apprentice's team to be sent out first. If the apprentice doesn’t ask this question, the order will be in the order which the player chose the apprentice’s Pokémon.
Which move should they have on this Pokémon? 	The player chooses one of two random moves from one of their Pokémon's learnset for the apprentice's Pokémon to learn. It is possible for the apprentice can ask about multiple moves for a single Pokémon, but which Pokémon they ask about is random.
What should they say when they're victorious? 	The player sets a phrase using the easy chat system.
