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

In the lounge, the atmosphere became a little subtle because of the embarrassment of the ponytail girl and Xingzhu's frivolous attitude.

However, the tacit understanding and team spirit among the players soon came into play, and they began to change the subject in an attempt to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Ni Ma, what do you think?"

One of the team members broke the silence and turned his attention to Nima.

Nima's position in the team is second only to Xingzhu. His judgment and insight are recognized by everyone. If it weren't for that accident, he might have become the deputy captain.

Nima withdrew his gaze from the crowd dispersing downstairs, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

He knew that Lin Yi's help was out of good intentions and he didn't expect anything in return, but Nima's heart was still filled with gratitude.

After careful consideration, Nima finally spoke:

"I think we should focus on Wang Qingping. His Swamp King has shown amazing resistance to attacks, which is enough to become a big problem for us."

"Captain of Fog City?"

Xingzhu gently touched his chin and nodded in agreement.

"I've heard some rumors about him. He is indeed an opponent that cannot be underestimated. Some even say that he has mastered the ability of super evolution."

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the team became a little tense.

However, someone half-jokingly broke the tension and said in a relaxed tone: "It doesn't matter, we can just let the captain deal with him when the time comes, right?"

This sentence livened up the atmosphere in the lounge again. The team members smiled at each other and were full of confidence in Xingzhu.

Although Xingzhu usually looks unserious, he can always show amazing strength and leadership at critical moments.

"Yeah, that being said."

Xingzhu rubbed the wrist guard on his wrist and shrugged.

"But this year's team competition is not divided into groups by school like before. What kind of teammates and what kind of opponents are there are all random, and I may not be able to match Wang Qingping."

"It's important to note."

The ponytail girl calmed down a little. Although her face was still flushed, she no longer looked embarrassed.

She carefully analyzed the situation and put forward her own views:

"It should be noted that what Wang Qingping and Lin Yi showed was not necessarily their true strength. It is possible that Wudu and Qinghai have reached a cooperation and deliberately staged this drama in order to mislead others."

"Ugh!"

Hearing this, Xingzhu sighed helplessly and said half-jokingly:

"You guys who play tactics have dirty hearts."

This sentence immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the ponytail girl. She stared at Xingzhu, as if to say:

"You're the one with a dirty heart! What kind of Pokémon are you playing if you don't know tactics?!"

Seeing the ponytail girl's face turn red again because of Xingzhu's anger, several members of Yandu looked at each other silently and sighed helplessly.

They seemed to have long been accustomed to these little frictions between Xingzhu and the ponytail girl, knowing that this was just a special way for them to communicate with each other.

……

“Meow, meow, meow—”

A miserable voice was heard in the courtyard.

Amid the terrified gazes of the Pokémon, Tolcat's protest echoed in the air, but Ruan Yaoyao seemed to be deaf to it.

She held Yanre Miao firmly in one hand and pointed at the bathtub with the other hand. Her tone was gentle but with unquestionable firmness:

"Stop it, Yanre Miao. You stink. Take a shower first. This is what Lin Yi wanted."

Although the Heat Cat struggled desperately, its resistance seemed futile in the face of Ruan Yaoyao's extraordinary strength.

It can only send out a distress signal to other Pokémon, hoping that someone can come forward to save it from the dire straits.

"Yeah..."

After hesitating, Yaya and Babylong finally plucked up the courage to stand up, but when Ruan Yaoyao waved at them with a warm smile, their courage disappeared in an instant.

"Come here, I'll give you guys a bath too."

There was no threat in Ruan Yaoyao's words, but they had an irresistible power.

Yaya and Babylong looked at each other and quickly made a decision: just stand aside and queue up.

Yaya even took the initiative to bring soap, as if to say: "Since you can't escape, try to make yourself more comfortable."

When Yanre Miao saw this scene, he couldn't help but wail in his heart:

"Ya Ya, Baby Dragon, you two traitors!!"

"very good!"

Ruan Yaoyao ignored Torrential Cat's "protest". She nodded with satisfaction and turned to the other Pokémon:

"Anyone else want to join us?"

The other Pokémon seemed to sense the impending "bath crisis" and shook their heads in refusal, as if to say:

"No, no, we are still clean."

"OK then."

Ruan Yaoyao shrugged, stopped forcing it, and began to concentrate on giving Yanremao a bath.

Although her technique was gentle, it was undoubtedly "torture" in the eyes of Yanremao.

Its heart is crying out:

“Meow!! Meow!! Cat abuse! Someone is abusing my cat! I don’t want to take a shower! I don’t stink! I just took a shower three months ago!”

As a cat, Torrell already hates bathing. Moreover, it is a Fire-type Pokémon that is afraid of Water, so its dislike for bathing increases more than twice.

Although Yanremao still wanted to resist, he could only accept the reality helplessly under Ruan Yaoyao's violent suppression.

In a short while, the hot cat was washed clean and smelled fragrant.

It was soaking wet, its head resting on the bathtub, and its eyes had lost their luster.

Ruan Yaoyao took it aside and wiped it dry with a towel.

She then turned her attention to Fang and Baby Dragon.

"It's your turn."

Fangy and Babylong swallowed nervously and obediently jumped into the bathtub.

Ruan Yaoyao smiled and began to scrub them with gentle and skillful movements.

Soon, Yaya and Babylong also became clean and tidy.

Finally, Ruan Yaoyao took them all to the sun to dry, and then clapped her hands with satisfaction.

"Okay, everyone smells good."

When the other Pokémon saw that Tortoiseshell, Fangy and Dragonite became clean and fragrant after being taken care of by Ruan Yaoyao, they finally put aside their worries.

They gathered around curiously, sniffing the fresh scent on their bodies, as if expressing their concern and curiosity for their companions in the Pokémon way.

At this time, Ruan Yaoyao noticed the Scyther beside her, and it also came over, seeming curious about the bathing scene just now.

Ruan Yaoyao, with a gentle smile, suddenly asked about Scyther's bathing time:

"Oh, by the way, Scyther, when was the last time you took a shower?"

Scyther was obviously startled by the question, its eyes widened as if it couldn't believe that it would suddenly become the next subject to be bathed.

It pointed its sharp sickle at itself and uttered a puzzled "Tsk?", as if asking: "Me? Is this true?"

At the same time, in the house, Lin Yi looked at the listless Yanremao after taking a bath. Its eyes had lost their former brilliance, and even its style had become gray. Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little funny, but also a little dissatisfied:

"This guy, I had to fool Yaoyao for a long time when I wanted her to help me wash. Now Yaoyao is taking the initiative to give you a bath, and you are still not happy?"

Although Lin Yi was somewhat grumbling in his heart, he quickly adjusted his mood, turned around and looked at Wang Qingping who was sitting in front of him, with a smile on his face:

"So, how's your thinking going?"
