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

"The lobster soldiers lose their ability to fight, and Scyther wins."

Zhu Wei reached out and took the unconscious lobster soldier back into the Poké Ball, then gently stroked the Poké Ball as if to comfort it.

He raised his head silently and looked at Lin Yi.

You don't have to use your brain or your butt to guess how Ruan Yaoyao knew that the lobster soldier was afraid of heights.

As the son of a gym leader, instead of helping his father solve his problems, he teaches challengers how to easily win badges.

Uh...but if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. After all, the other party is not an outsider.

Putting aside the slight entanglement in his heart, Zhu Wei smiled and sincerely praised the tacit cooperation between Ruan Yaoyao and Scyther:

"What an excellent tactical system! With just simple instructions, Scyther can perform such complex movements. The bond between you two is simply irreplaceable."

"Ah."

Hearing Zhu Wei's praise, Ruan Yaoyao was slightly stunned, somewhat doubting whether the other party was just saying some polite words.

However, in fact, pointing out the challenger's flaws while affirming and praising his strengths is what a qualified gym leader should do.

It’s just that two of the previous gyms gave badges directly, and the other one was weird, so suddenly she encountered a normal gym process, so Ruan Yaoyao was a little uncomfortable.

"You flatter me."

Ruan Yaoyao nodded slightly and responded politely.

Zhu Wei smiled, picked out another Poké Ball, and released a cute white sea lion that was over one meter tall and stuck out its tongue.

Pokémon: Sea Lion

Gender: Female

Attribute: water system

Level: 19

Features: Thick Fat

"Is it the little sea lion this time? Eh? What is it afraid of?"

Ruan Yaoyao stared at the little sea lion that was patting its belly and making popping sounds as if it was being cute, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Ruan Yaoyao stopped thinking.

"I can't remember it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Scyther, continuous slash!"

……

Just as Lin Yi was concentrating on the fierce battle, suddenly, he felt the mobile phone in his trouser pocket begin to vibrate slightly.

He took out his cell phone with some confusion, and when the screen lit up, he found that it was a call from Ye Feng.

Hmm? Something is wrong! It should be morning reading time now, could this kid have skipped class?

In order to avoid disrupting the ongoing duel, Lin Yi quickly left the noisy audience seats and walked to a quiet corner before pressing the answer button.

"Oh my god? You actually answered the phone?"

As soon as the call was connected, Ye Feng's voice full of surprise came through the receiver.

Lin Yi was speechless after hearing this: "Come on, it's normal for me to answer the phone when you call me, isn't it? What's the big deal?"

"Hey, you still have the nerve to say that! Every time I call you, either you are still sleeping, or you are busy with other things and have no time to answer me."

Ye Feng muttered indignantly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"If I had known this, I should have chosen the path of challenging the gym like you did. That way I could manage my time as I pleased. It's not like now that I have to take the path recommended by the school and still have to attend classes on time."

"Oh, by the way, speaking of going to school on time...you're not late, are you?" Lin Yi suddenly realized the problem and asked casually.

"No, why would I be late? Why do you think so?" Ye Feng's answer was a little unexpected.

"Look at what time it is now? Shouldn't we be attending morning reading?"

"Oh, you said this."

Ye Feng on the other end of the phone paused, then explained slowly:

"All classes today are cancelled. The school is preparing to divide our grade into groups. This time, we will have to conduct a competition to select the final five recommended people."

"Is it because the performance of our school's team members in the last academic exchange activity with Imperial Capital High School was so poor that we have to select a new group of people?" Lin Yi guessed with a frown.

"Well... that's probably the situation, but I'm not particularly clear about the specific reasons." Ye Feng answered vaguely.

"Okay, then what do you want to talk to me about?" Lin Yi went straight to the point.

"hey-hey!"

Suddenly, Ye Feng's tone became excited, with a hint of undisguised pride.

"I have good news for you. I was extremely lucky today. I drew a very good lot. I don't have to participate in the competition and can be directly recommended to the school team! Haha, who always said that I had bad luck? Stand up!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment of silence, he sighed helplessly: "Ah, silly child, do you really think that those draws are completely random? I think you were obviously sent away by a shady manipulation."

There are only a handful of capable people in No. 1 Middle School. If Ye Feng fails to be selected into the school team as he wishes due to some unexpected circumstances, I'm afraid that the highly respected old principal will be so sad and heartbroken!

"I understand this, but because of this, I don't need to participate in this selection. Besides, I don't have to go to class today!

Didn't you just mention that you and Sister Yaoyao have already arrived in Qinghai City? How about this, I'll call Xiaosu along around noon, and then we can all go out for a walk together?"

After a little thought, Lin Yi felt that after completing the challenge to the gym, there seemed to be no other particularly urgent matters to deal with except the need to carry out daily training step by step, so he readily agreed.

"Okay, then I'll ask Yaoyao for her opinion, and then we'll agree on a specific meeting place. Then you guys can decide where to go and play~"

"Well, then it's a happy decision!"

Shortly after hanging up the phone, when Lin Yi returned, he saw that the exhausted Sly Mantis had already stepped on the little sea lion, whose body was covered with scars, and was holding its head high and howling at the top of its lungs, to announce to the world that it was the final winner of this fierce battle.

Zhu Wanyi checked repeatedly and finally confirmed that the little sea lion had completely lost the ability to continue fighting. She really couldn't believe that her brother, who always made her proud, would be defeated so easily this time, but she still raised the small flag in her hand and announced the result.

"The little sea lion lost its ability to fight, and Scyther won. Therefore, the winner is the challenger!"

"Congratulations."

Zhu Wei took back the little sea lion, smiled and clapped, then took out a badge with sea wave elements that he had prepared in advance.

"Well done, Scyther."

Ruan Yaoyao praised the eager Scyther, put it back into the Poké Ball to stabilize its injuries, and then took the badge from Zhu Wei.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, you earned it."

Seeing this, Lin Yi also walked over.

"Thank you for your hard work. It's my turn next. Oh, by the way, Ye Feng said he has more time, and wants the four of us and Su Su to go out for some fun at noon."

"Sure, there's nothing to do anyway."

Ruan Yaoyao readily agreed.
