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

"Galala, losing the ability to fight!"

The referee's voice was like a thunder in the arena, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the audience.

People stood up from their seats, exclaiming and talking, shocked and excited by this sudden reversal.

"It's really amazing. The situation was reversed in an instant!"

The commentator made no effort to conceal his surprise, his voice trembling with excitement.

Ruan Tianli folded his arms, leaned back in his chair, and let out a breath.

"This stinking idiot actually has some strength."

Just a moment ago, many people thought that Lin Yi was at a disadvantage, but in the blink of an eye, the opponent's two Pokémon had lost their ability to fight.

The remaining Daihuotuo and Jiuwei looked confused and helpless on the scene, not knowing how to deal with this sudden change.

In comparison, except for Gyarados which acts as a meat shield, the other three Pokémon on Lin Yi's side are in very good condition and their morale is high.

The other contestants who were watching the game were shocked and looked at Lin Yi with fear.

They knew very well that being able to find a way out of the impasse in such a short period of time required outstanding command ability and a sense of the overall situation.

No one wants to face such a powerful opponent.

Those sitting at the front of the audience were teachers from various prestigious universities.

They come to watch the games specifically to look for outstanding students, hoping to recruit them to their own universities.

At this moment, their eyes were fixed on Lin Yi, with excitement flashing in their eyes.

The strength shown by this young man made them see potential and hope. Perhaps he is the good seedling that deserves to be trained.

In a corner of the stadium, a black-haired girl was staring at Lin Yi quietly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and there was a gleam in her eyes.

Needless to say, if they lose when outnumbered four to two, Lin Yi will have to consider whether or not to follow his mother as an assistant and switch careers from a trainer to a Pokémon researcher.

In the end, when Ninetales was hit by Gengar's Shadow Ball, the outcome was decided.

“Phew—this is so difficult!”

After the referee announced the result, Lin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he silently looked at Xingzhu and Nima who were trying to escape, with a smile on his face.

"Come on, we can talk about this next. Tell me why you two wanted to play me in the first place."

Xingzhu and Nima felt Lin Yi's gaze, their bodies stiffened, their eyes flickered, they seemed a little guilty, and they didn't dare to look directly into Lin Yi's eyes.

They seemed to realize their mistakes in the game and didn't know what to do when faced with Lin Yi's questioning.

"Lin Yi..."

Just then, a soft voice sounded.

Lin Yi turned his head and saw Ruan Yaoyao coming over. She gently held Lin Yi's hand and shook her head slightly, signaling him not to pursue the matter further.

When Lin Yi saw Ruan Yaoyao's actions, he sighed inwardly and understood what she meant.

After all, the game is over and they have already won, so there is not much point in blaming their teammates.

Moreover, there is only one team battle, and the next main competition will be a battle between individuals.

Originally, Lin Yi still had certain expectations for these two teammates, thinking that they had a chance to enter the top 16 and perhaps there was hope for cooperation.

But now it seems that their condition is really worrying.

"Maybe I'll be eliminated in the next round."

Lin Yi said helplessly.

After saying this, he did not stay and left the stadium through the player channel with Ruan Yaoyao.

It’s no wonder that he is so angry. In Pokémon battles, every trainer has his own trump cards and strategies, which are important means to turn the situation around at critical moments.

If Xingzhu and Nima were really only at this level, Lin Yi wouldn't say much.

However, these two people were originally very strong, but they performed so poorly and kept hindering Gyarados and Scyther.

If the opponent was stronger, Lin Yi might have to expose powerful trump cards such as Gyarados's Mega Evolution or Ruan Yaoyao's Scyther's insect-type Z-move in advance.

In Pokémon battles, the confidentiality of the trump card is of vital importance. Once exposed, it will become the object of vigilance and research of other players, which may have an adverse effect in subsequent games.

Even in the final melee, it is possible that other players will regard you as a common enemy and attack you together.

Even though neither his mega evolution nor his Z-move has been revealed yet, he realizes that he may have become a strong enemy in the eyes of other players.

In the next games, he may receive more attention and research, which will undoubtedly increase the pressure on his game.

Although it is better than exposing one's cards, it shouldn't have come to this.

Damn, maybe he has PTSD from accidentally injuring his opponent in the last round, so he has no will to fight. What about Xingzhu?

It can't be that I had too much fun last night and now I'm too tired to concentrate, right?

Hiss... You know what, that girl with the ponytail looks so energetic, she must be well nourished...

No, I didn't guess it right, did I?

At the moment when Lin Yi was muttering to himself, Ruan Yaoyao's call suddenly broke the silence around him.

"What's wrong, Yaoyao?" Lin Yi turned around and asked, with a hint of concern in his voice.

Ruan Yaoyao did not answer immediately, but pointed forward.

Lin Yi looked in the direction she pointed, and saw two figures standing quietly in the corner of the passage, as if waiting for their arrival.

Their figures seemed a little blurry in the dim light, but what was certain was that they were not ordinary passers-by.

“Reporter?”

A trace of doubt flashed through Lin Yi's mind.

"But isn't this the players' tunnel? Reporters shouldn't be able to enter here."

Just when he was puzzled, his eyes finally caught a clear glimpse of the face of one of them - it was the captain of the Fog City team, Wang Qingping.

As for the other one, Lin Yi didn’t know him.

Judging from his appearance, the man seemed to be older than Lin Guochang. His face showed traces of time, but he also revealed a majesty that could not be ignored.

Just as the two were about to get close, the stranger suddenly stepped forward and said eagerly in a tone that was almost like a sales pitch:

"Hello, are you interested in studying at our Fog City University?"

Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao looked at each other, both obviously caught off guard by this sudden invitation.

"That... no need..."

Lin Yi was about to decline, but he saw that the man didn't seem to notice their hesitation, and instead continued to speak more enthusiastically:

"Our Fog City University is one of the best universities in China, with the best educational resources and teaching environment. You know Kong Wei, the head of the Fire Department, right? He is an outstanding alumnus of our Fog City University."

The man's words were like a rapid-fire cannon, leaving it almost impossible for anyone to get a word in.

Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao could only smile bitterly at each other, and at the same time cast their eyes on Wang Qingping, only to see him covering his face in embarrassment, with an expression on his face that seemed to say:

"I shouldn't have brought him here."

"Who is..." Lin Yi asked tentatively.

Wang Qingping sighed helplessly, "He is the Dean of Studies at Fog City University and also my father."
