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

(Well, the update may be a little late today because I have to celebrate my sister's birthday)

(I'd like to apologize here first)

(Red bean paste private Marseille!!!)

……

After the referee finished reading out the complicated and lengthy rules, he finally raised the flag in his hand and announced in a loud voice the start of the game.

Zhou Feng took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner tension, but just as he was about to throw his Poké Ball, Ruan Yaoyao's voice suddenly penetrated the noise of the arena and reached his ears clearly.

"Contestant Zhou Feng, huh?"

Ruan Yaoyao's voice had a hint of relaxation, and she seemed unaffected by the tense atmosphere around her.

Zhou Feng was stunned. His eyes passed across the field and fell on Ruan Yaoyao. Then he nodded and responded with a hint of doubt:

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Ruan Yaoyao scratched her chin lightly, her eyes swept across the densely packed crowd and countless cameras in the audience, and a confident smile appeared on her face.

As soon as I stepped onto the stage, all the tension and anxiety seemed to disappear.

As a trainer, what she longed for was an all-out contest, a fight without regrets.

"Since this is the opening match of the Little Phoenix Cup, let's give it our all and fight this match without any regrets!"

Ruan Yaoyao's words were full of expectations and challenges.

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Zhou Feng's expression became even uglier, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

She did not use the psychological tactics taught by Lin Yi to influence the other party, but Zhou Feng's reaction was beyond her expectations.

Could it be that her words just now inadvertently put pressure on him?

As soon as Lin Yi stepped into the contestant lounge, his eyes were attracted by Ruan Yaoyao on the screen.

Her voice came through the microphone near the venue clearly, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, spreading like ripples to every corner.

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself: Ruan Yaoyao's trick is really great...

He thought Ruan Yaoyao would use his method to influence her opponent, but Ruan Yaoyao didn't seem to intend to do so.

She seemed more interested in enjoying the battle than just winning.

However, it turned out that Ruan Yaoyao found a more clever way to suppress her opponent's mentality.

Zhou Feng's face was as pale and weak as the snow in winter.

He was already nervous, and after learning that Ruan Yaoyao was the daughter of the Four Heavenly Kings, his mentality was greatly affected.

Ruan Yaoyao's words seemed to contain more profound meaning in his ears.

"Zhou Feng, right? I remember you."

Ruan Yaoyao's voice carried a hint of unquestionable majesty (from Zhou Feng's perspective),

"This is the first match of the Little Phoenix Cup. If you dare to play carelessly, I will make you regret it."

Zhou Feng's heart was beating like a drum, and he felt every cell in his body was trembling.

He looked at Ruan Yaoyao's smiling face and felt an unprecedented pressure.

His hands and feet began to tremble involuntarily, and he couldn't even hold the Poké Ball in his hand steadily.

"Go, go ahead..." he muttered to himself, trying to cheer himself up.

However, just when he was about to throw the Poké Ball, he accidentally caused the Poké Ball in his hand to slip and fall heavily to the ground.

“Bang, bang.”

Two dull sounds echoed in the lounge, and the Poké Ball rolled on the ground. Along with a dazzling white light, a fat rat and a purple rattlesnake jumped out of the Poké Ball, and their figures were particularly eye-catching in the air.

At this moment, Zhou Feng's heart was filled with complicated emotions.

He knew that this battle was not just an ordinary competition, but also a psychological battle.

And Ruan Yaoyao has obviously gained the upper hand.

Pokémon: Rattata

Gender: Male

Attribute: General

Level:Level 18

Characteristics: Perseverance

Pokémon: Arbok

Gender:female

Attribute: Poison

Level:Level 17

Ability: Intimidate

As soon as Rattata and Arbok were released from the Poké Ball, they immediately felt Zhou Feng's uneasiness.

They turned their heads and looked at Zhou Feng with worried eyes, as if asking him a silent question.

As companions who live with Zhou Feng day and night, they are extremely sensitive to Zhou Feng's emotional changes and can feel his anxiety and tension at the moment.

Seeing this, Ruan Yaoyao shook her head slightly, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

It seems that we won't be able to go all out in this game.

But she also knows that every moment on the field is precious and there is no time to hesitate or worry.

She decided not to waste any more time and to act quickly.

She raised her white arm and threw the Poké Ball into the air without hesitation.

“Bang, bang.”

With two crisp sounds, Scyther and Scaleblin jumped out of the Poké Ball and landed steadily on the grass on the field.

After releasing the Pokémon, the Poké Ball bounced back into Ruan Yaoyao's hands with the help of the reaction force.

Ruan Yaoyao caught the Poké Ball steadily and then skillfully put it back on her waist.

This series of movements was smooth and natural, showing her superb skills and qualities as a trainer.

In comparison, Zhou Feng's performance seemed a bit clumsy.

He couldn't even hold the Poké Ball steadily, let alone prepare for battle as smoothly as Ruan Yaoyao.

This contrast undoubtedly made Zhou Feng feel more nervous.

He looked at Ruan Yaoyao's confident and calm demeanor, and couldn't help feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He knew that the gap between himself and Ruan Yaoyao was not only in the strength of Pokémon, but also in the mentality and skills as trainers.

"Do we still need to fight for this?"

In the players' lounge, Ye Feng seemed to be confident about the outcome of the upcoming game.

He slurred his comments through a mouth full of popcorn.

"The other side's mentality has exploded before the fight even starts, so Sister Yaoyao will definitely win..."

Ye Feng continued speaking, with a hint of ease and teasing in his words, as if he found Zhou Feng's nervous state amusing.

However, Lin Yi did not agree with Ye Feng's optimism. He grabbed a handful of popcorn expressionlessly and stuffed it directly into Ye Feng's mouth, expressing his dissatisfaction with his actions:

"Don't give me bad words, kid. It's taboo to open champagne at halftime during a game."

Lin Yi's words revealed his respect and seriousness for the competition. He knew that the outcome of the competition was often full of variables and could not be easily concluded.

"Woooo..."

Ye Feng's mouth was filled with popcorn. He glared and made unclear protest sounds, perhaps complaining about Lin Yi's sudden action, or perhaps refuting Lin Yi's point of view.

But Lin Yi did not listen to Ye Feng's protest. His eyes were fixed on the screen, observing every detail of the game intently.

For him, every minute and every second of the game is crucial and cannot be missed.

(I just realized it's called Arbok Bai Snake, not Arbok Bo Snake. I remember that Musashi always called it Arbok Bo Snake in the anime. Could it be that I remembered it wrong?)
