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

"Why did you come just now? I'm starving."

Lu Wusong noticed Ruan Tianli's arrival and yawned lazily.

Ruan Tianli took advantage of the lunch break to come here and take over shifts with Lin Guochang and Lu Wusong who were on guard here, so that they could have a short break to eat.

Lu Wusong fixed his eyes on the cigarette between Ruan Tianli's fingers, frowning: "I told you, smoking is not allowed here, you..."

"I know. Sorry."

Before Lu Wusong could finish his words, Ruan Tianli immediately put out his cigarette and put an apologetic smile on his face.

"……what?"

Lu Wusong couldn't help but be stunned, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

You know, if it were normal times, if he dared to ask Ruan Tianli not to smoke, Ruan Tianli would be in a good mood if he was not scolded on the spot.

"You, you were possessed?"

Lin Guochang on the side also looked at Ruan Tianli with suspicion, while Lu Wusong had a strange look on his face.

Ruan Tianli rubbed his nose and chuckled, "That's not true. I just think you are right. We really shouldn't smoke here."

Something is wrong, absolutely something is wrong!

The two looked at each other, and after a brief eye contact, Lin Guochang decisively threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

"Armored warrior, strike head-on!"

"Boom-"

With a crisp sound, the Poké Ball opened, and a mighty armored warrior appeared before his eyes.

Its body is covered with a solid carapace and exudes a powerful aura.

However, when the armored warrior saw Ruan Tianli in front of him, there was a hint of surprise on his face, obviously he was surprised.

But soon, it came to its senses and a gleam of light flashed in its eyes.

A faint insect-attribute energy fluctuation appeared on the armored warrior's shell, and it suddenly rushed forward and crashed into Ruan Tianli at an astonishing speed.

"boom--"

The huge impact caused a loud noise, shocking like thunder.

A strong air current swept all around, and the papers and documents in the laboratory were blown everywhere, creating a chaotic scene.

The researchers who were originally concentrating on their studies in the laboratory were awakened by this sudden change. They stopped their work and looked over here with surprise and confusion.

They couldn't understand why such a conflict had occurred within the laboratory.

At the same time, the candidate kings outside the laboratory also heard the noise inside.

They acted quickly, rushing into the laboratory while protecting those precious researchers behind them to prevent any possible danger.

"Bang bang bang."

With crisp sounds, Poké Balls were thrown out one after another, each one flashing with dazzling light.

Several Pokémon of various shapes and majestic auras appeared before their eyes. Their huge bodies occupied the entire laboratory, making the originally spacious space instantly crowded.

Under the tense gazes of the crowd, Ruan Tianli silently lowered his head and looked at the armored warrior who had hit his chest.

He couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion, muttering to himself: "No, why did you hit me?"

"Well, it's not fake."

Lin Guochang and Lu Wusong on the side looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction, as if they were very satisfied with Ruan Tianli's performance.

After repeated confirmation, they found that even facing the full-strength attack of one of Lin Guochang's main forces (with appropriate force control), Ruan Tianli's clothes were only slightly wrinkled and he did not suffer any substantial damage.

This scene made them feel relieved and they finally put their minds at ease.

In fact, they initially suspected that Ruan Tianli was being impersonated, because his attitude today was very different from usual and seemed unusually gentle.

However, after careful observation and testing, they realized that they were worrying too much.

Apart from Ruan Tianli himself, they couldn't imagine any other human being in the world who could so easily resist the powerful attacks of an armored warrior and remain unscathed.

Lin Guochang first waved his hands at the group of candidates, smiled easily, and said:

"It's okay, let's go eat, we were just playing~"

"..."

After hearing this, the candidates looked a little embarrassed, but they could only smile helplessly.

They secretly muttered in their hearts: "What kind of joke is this? You are kidding us by making such a fuss?!"

Although they were dissatisfied with this behavior in their hearts, the candidates did not dare to show it on their faces.

They were well aware that their status was far behind Lin Guochang and they could not easily offend him.

In fact, although Lin Guochang is also a candidate for the King of Heaven, he is shouldering an important task that only the Four Kings can undertake.

In addition, he often attends meetings where only members of the Four Heavenly Kings and above are qualified to participate.

There are signs that Champion and the other Four Heavenly Kings have tacitly agreed that Lin Guochang will become the next Four Heavenly Kings to succeed Grandma Jiang Zi.

For these candidates, being promoted to the Four Heavenly Kings is undoubtedly an attractive goal. However, facing such a powerful competitor, they can't help but feel awe.

After all, the Four Heavenly Kings of this session are too powerful, like four insurmountable mountains that make them hesitate.

Not to mention the champions on the four peaks, they are simply the ones they need to look up to throughout their lives.

In the King of Heaven Tournament held on New Year's Eve every year, only the one who stands out from the many candidates for the King of Heaven and other strong opponents will have the opportunity to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings.

If you can win the 6V6 battle, you can replace the Four Heavenly Kings and ascend to the throne of the new Four Heavenly Kings.

However, if the war is lost, everything will have to start from scratch.

If you want to challenge the champion, you must defeat the four queens in a row without resting to be eligible to compete with the champion.

However, over the years, not to mention the championship, even the position of the Four Heavenly Kings has not changed.

However, there was once a man who studied abroad for a long time. After returning to China, he made bold statements, saying that he would participate in the King of Kings Tournament, challenge the current champion, and reorganize China.

In short, in his eyes, everything abroad is good, and everything at home is bad.

Surprisingly, this cocky guy actually has some skills, as he wins the King of Kings tournament with ease.

Just as he was ambitiously embarking on the road to becoming a champion, confidently preparing to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings, defeat the champions, lead China, and reach the pinnacle of his life...

Then, in the first round, he encountered Lu Wusong, who was resentful because of long-term overtime work.

If it were someone else, they might be able to give the other person some face and deliberately give him some points so that the other person can get away with it.

But he happened to meet Lu Wusong, who had been working overtime for several months and urgently needed a poor guy to vent his anger on.

As a result, this unlucky guy was naturally used as a human sandbag by Lu Wusong and was defeated with a tragic score of 0:6.

This defeat not only shattered his dream, but also made other candidates for the throne realize that defeating the Four Heavenly Kings was simply a fantasy.

So they had to re-examine their goals and turned their attention to Grandma Jiang Zi.

Even though they knew they could not defeat this legendary figure who had served as one of the Four Heavenly Kings since the founding of the Huaxia Alliance, they were still young and could wait patiently until Granny Jiangzi retired.

At that time, the positions of the Four Heavenly Kings will become vacant, and then they only need to win the King of Kings Tournament to become the new Four Heavenly Kings.

However, fantasy is always beautiful, but reality is often cruel.
