Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

"I said, why aren't you happy at all?"

Zhuge An looked at Li Ye, who was walking in front of him with a sullen face, as if someone owed him millions, and couldn't help asking.

"Didn't you hear what the principal said just now? We were both admitted! Imperial University, the top school in China! How come you're not excited at all?"

Although the performance of the Imperial Capital Affiliated High School was not good in the last academic exchange, it still cannot conceal the fact that its teaching level is also among the high-end in China.

If it weren’t for Lin Yi and Ye Feng’s unexpected help, No. 1 Middle School would have ended in a crushing defeat.

In this academic exchange, let’s not talk about Li Ye’s failure despite his best efforts. Even a discerning person like Zhuge An could see that he was deliberately letting the other party win so that the other party could evolve safely.

Although this is in line with the moral character that a trainer should have, some people in the school don't care about your moral character. They only know that Zhuge An deliberately let the game go, which led to the failure of this academic exchange.

Zhuge An himself didn't seem to care much about this. His funny personality was already deeply rooted in people's hearts, so when his classmates knew what Zhuge An had done, they would only say something expressionlessly.

"As expected of him!"

But this incident still had some impact on Zhuge An. The things some people said behind his back made Li Ye, as a bystander, unable to bear it, so he taught them a lesson.

But how could those guys just let it go? Several people gathered together and planned to seek revenge on Li Ye.

Zhuge An happened to pass by. After learning the whole story, even though he usually had a good temper, he could not stand the other party's verbal abuse, not to mention the hot-tempered Li Ye.

Then the two of them jumped up, pinned the eight people on the opposite side to the ground and beat them up. They are still in the hospital and have not returned yet.

Speaking of this, we have to go back to early morning this morning.

The incident happened suddenly, and the two instigators were summoned to the Imperial Capital University Board of Directors without any warning.

Originally, everyone thought that what awaited them would be a storm of criticism and punishment, and in serious cases, they might even be expelled from school.

In fact, the school board did handle the matter with this in mind at first.

However, after they carefully investigated the family backgrounds of the two students, they couldn't help but gasp.

Hiss——Wow! These backgrounds are really more powerful than each other!

One of them came from a well-known family of trainers, which enjoyed a high reputation throughout the entire Chinese region; and the father of the other was a senior senator in the alliance, with a high position of power and influence.

Faced with such a difficult situation, the Board of Directors made a difficult decision after long consideration and repeated discussions.

Give these two students a chance to make amends by performing meritorious service.

Specifically, if they can successfully obtain the intermediate trainer qualification certificate before the college entrance examination, or win the top three in the upcoming Little Phoenix Cup, then not only can their previous mistakes be forgiven and completely erased, but they can also obtain a precious place in the Imperial Capital University for further studies.

This seems like a sure win deal.

"Steady ass!"

Li Ye lowered his head and cursed, "They can't punish us directly because of the reasons behind us, so they beat around the bush and gave us this sugar-coated bullet. What if we don't meet their requirements?"

"Sugar-coated bullets are just sugar-coated bullets."

Zhuge An smiled indifferently, "Then just eat the sugar coating and return the shell, right?"

"You said it quite easily."

Li Ye shook his head and said seriously.

“To obtain the Intermediate Trainer Qualification Certificate, we need to first take the Junior Trainer Qualification Certificate, and then we can take the Intermediate Trainer Qualification Certificate.

Even if you can beat the examiner, what about the theoretical subjects? If you want to take the certificate exam, you can’t pass it without studying for a year or two in advance.”

"Um...this..."

Zhuge An, who had scored full marks in practical subjects but failed in theory, immediately became discouraged when he heard that he had to study theory.

But he seemed to want to struggle a bit more, "Then wouldn't it be enough to win the top three in the Little Phoenix Cup?"

"Last year, our school ranked last in the Little Phoenix Cup because we met the champion team, Yandu High School, in the first elimination match."

Li Ye sighed and listed the terrifying battle records.

"The best student the year before last was ranked 128th, and the year before that was in the top 32..."

"Wait a moment!"

Zhuge An was a little surprised. "Why is each class getting worse than the last? Our school can't be that bad, right? After all, we have the name of Imperial Capital University."

"Our school does have good teaching resources, but we are able to meet the champion team every time. It's really just luck that we are not good enough."

Li Ye explained: "So you know why those people asked us to be in the top three, right?

Besides, even if we are lucky enough not to meet any championship team this year, what about the people from other schools?

For example, in the case of Lin Yi, who do you think has a better chance of winning if the two of you fight seriously?"

Zhuge An thought about it seriously and said that he didn't know.

"I don't know. I haven't played seriously. I guess it's a 50-50 chance."

"This is just an inconspicuous school. Don't forget those famous schools, they will all compete for this position."

"what should I do then?"

Zhuge An finally became anxious, "Should I call my family to discuss it?"

"You didn't call again..."

"Let's discuss it. How about donating tens of millions?"

"..."

Li Ye said "fuck", and suddenly he noticed someone walking towards him out of the corner of his eye.

"It's them?"

"Who?"

Zhuge An looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao walking towards him.

"What a coincidence, we haven't seen each other for some time."

Lin Yi greeted with a smile and looked at Zhuge An.

"It was thanks to your help last time that Tornado was able to evolve so easily. I never had the chance to pay it a visit."

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi looked at the two people's complicated expressions in confusion.

"Did I say the wrong thing?"

"Um...no, it's just..."

Zhuge An briefly recounted what had happened.

"...Ah this."

The corner of Ruan Yaoyao's mouth twitched.

Lin Yi didn't expect this to happen and quickly apologized.

"I really didn't expect this to happen. I'm so sorry. If it wasn't for me, it wouldn't have come to this."

"What if it's not? What's past is past."

Zhuge An waved his hand generously. He never liked to regret. Even if he did something wrong, he would not think about what would have happened if he had done something else.

Because it was his own decision at the time, he didn't care about the consequences.

Lin Yi held his chin and began to think of countermeasures for the other party.

"It's almost impossible to pass the intermediate trainer exam in just one year. Then the top three in the Little Phoenix Cup..."

Lin Yi seemed to have suddenly realized something, his expression became serious, and he asked very seriously:

"What do you think of our No. 1 Middle School's current overall strength?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course I'm telling the truth!" Lin Yi answered without hesitation.

"Well, the truth is - it's rotten! It's like trying to get gold out of a cesspool."

Zhuge An gave this evaluation without any mercy.

“I later carefully watched the video of the game that day and found that the performance of most people was ridiculously bad.

To put it bluntly, he is a rookie among rookies. Once a Pokémon is attacked, it will panic and not know what to do.

The only ones who can truly be called strong opponents are probably Ye Feng and you.

As for Ruan Yaoyao, she didn't make a move at that time, so I have no way of knowing her strength." Zhuge An continued.

"Well, I agree with this point." Lin Yi nodded slightly to show his agreement, but then he changed the subject.

"However, since even you admit that I am a powerful character, why not consider whether to join forces with this powerful enemy of mine?"
