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

"No, buddy?"

Lin Yi's roar echoed in the tense arena, and his emotions were like a volcano about to erupt, full of anger and confusion.

His eyes flickered back and forth between Xingzhu and Nima. Their performances made him feel deeply frustrated, and he couldn't help but roar loudly.

"You two are playing us?!"

……

"Dear audience, let us invite both players to enter the arena!"

The commentator's voice was like an exciting war drum, igniting the atmosphere on the scene.

The enthusiasm of the audience surged like the waves of the ocean; applause and cheers blended into one, echoing throughout the venue.

The sunlight shines on the green grass, reflecting dazzling light, adding a vivid color to the upcoming game.

However, under this light, Ruan Yaoyao felt a little heavy:

"Is this really okay? No discussion of countermeasures."

There was a hint of worry in her voice.

In team battles, tacit understanding and tactical discussions among teammates are crucial to avoid tactical confusion and mistakes.

For example, you can avoid the awkward situations where “I’m doing a surprise attack with high-fives while you’re preparing for a spirited venue” or “I’m preparing to spray water on a rainy day while you’re preparing for a sunny day”.

However, if this really happens, the Pokémon battle will most likely turn into a real-life solo between trainers.

However, the situation of these four people is somewhat special.

They didn't meet up until twenty minutes before the game started, without any tactical discussion or preparation.

Nima has been immersed in his own world. The worry that he might accidentally hurt someone again during the game made him feel resistant, and he even began to doubt whether he was suitable for participating in the competition.

Xingzhu, on the other hand, used a hangover as an excuse to explain his poor mental state:

"I drank too much with Lin Yi yesterday afternoon and didn't wake up until this morning."

There was a hint of helplessness and exhaustion in his voice.

Ruan Yaoyao's voice echoed in the air, but no one responded to her.

Xingzhu still looked dazed and absent-minded, as if he was still troubled by what happened last night.

Nima lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking about. His brows were furrowed, as if he was struggling with his inner self.

Lin Yi's gaze lingered on Xingzhu's neck for a moment. The conspicuous kiss mark seemed to tell the story of last night.

His thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the ponytail girl he had just seen, her flushed face, a satisfied smile on her face, the unnatural posture she walked in, and the indescribable ambiguous atmosphere between her and Xingzhu.

Hiss——Could it be that…

A trace of doubt arose in Lin Yi's heart, but he quickly shook his head and decided not to dwell on these private matters.

“Forget it, forget it. I don’t want to think about it anymore.”

Lin Yi silently told himself that what was more important now was the game and the victory of the team.

He turned around, reached out and rubbed Ruan Yaoyao's little head, comforting her with a warm and firm smile.

"Don't worry, our overall strength is a level higher than the other side, there won't be any surprises."

……

"You guys are fucking playing me!?"

Lin Yi roared loudly, his eyes wide open, staring at his teammates angrily.

"Xingzhu, why did you open the magic space? And what's the point of opening the clear sky?!"

Lin Yi was almost furious. His originally planned tactics were completely disrupted.

At this time, their lineup included: Lin Yi's Gyarados, Ruan Yaoyao's Scyther, Xingzhu's Gengar and Nima's Lajiao.

The opposing Pokémon include Slowpoke, Alola form of Garuda, Flareon, and a Murkrow with the Mischievous Ability.

At the beginning, Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao commanded Gyarados and Scyther to use Dragon Dance and Sword Dance, and added high-speed movement to stack the buff status.

However, just when the attack and speed had just increased, Xingzhu suddenly asked Geng Gui to open the Trick Space, making the speed a burden instead.

"No way? Including your Gengar, we have three speed attackers on our side. What on earth do you want to do by opening this space?" Lin Yi couldn't help but roared.

Under the effect of Trick Room, slower Pokémon will become faster, and faster Pokémon will become slower.

This went against their original plan and plunged them into chaos.

This is not over yet, there are still experts!

The situation was made even worse by the use of Sunny Day by Nima's Hen Lajiao.

As soon as the magic space was opened, Chili Pepper used Sunny Day. The power of Gyarados's Water Tail was halved on a sunny day, making the originally planned powerful attack weak.

Not only did he fail to successfully eliminate the opponent, but he also allowed the escaping Garagara to fire a will-o'-the-wisp at Gyarados, causing it to be burned.

The burn status will halve the physical attack of the burned person. For Gyarados, which is good at physical attack, being hit by the will-o'-the-wisp is equivalent to wasting half of its strength.

What's the point of you driving a sunny day?

Yes, on a sunny day, the combination of your Hot Chili Pepper's Overheat and Solar Beam is very powerful, and almost no one can withstand it.

But have you ever thought that all three opponents are fire-type, and we can’t resist their fire-type skills under the clear sky!

"..."

At this point, even the commentator fell silent. This kind of situation where teammates were pitting each other was very rare in Pokémon battles, and he didn't know what to say.

The audience couldn't help but talk about it.

"It's obvious that there was no prior discussion of tactics."

"What's the use of having a high level? It's still so embarrassing."

On the judges' panel, Ruan Tianli had mixed feelings.

He looked at Ruan Yaoyao, whose face looked grim because she was at a disadvantage in the game, and a surge of anger rose in his heart, and he clenched his fists.

When he just learned about Ruan Yaoyao's grouping, he was still a little confused.

At that time, he thought that the organizers must have arranged some strong players to be in the same group with Ruan Yaoyao in order to please him, making it easier for her to win.

To this end, Ruan Tianli also went to the organizers and used some "special means" to ensure that this was not a conspiracy.

However, the final result proved that all of this was randomly assigned without any human intervention.

Although I was extremely reluctant, I had to admit that that idiot was indeed very capable.

Originally, Ruan Tianli thought that with Ruan Yaoyao's own strength, plus the assistance of the captain and vice-captain of Yandu, a famous school, this game should be a sure win.

However, reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.

During the game, the performances of both sides were in sharp contrast.

If the cooperation between the four opponents is one plus one is greater than two, on the other hand, the cooperation between Lin Yi and others is one plus one is less than one, which undoubtedly makes Ruan Tianli very disappointed.

If there had been a little bit of discussion before the game, it wouldn't have turned out like this, right?
