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

At this time, Li Xiyue was frowning and looking around with confused eyes, as if looking for something important.

Suddenly, she seemed to see something, her eyes lit up, and she walked quickly to the corner with her long legs, complaining to one of the boys wearing headphones.

"Brother, what are you doing here?! You have a competition tomorrow, why are you going to the Internet cafe to indulge yourself!"

Lin Yi, who was also self-degrading: "..."

However, the boy did not react at all.

Li Xiyue couldn't help but puff up her lips in anger, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face, and she reached out and pulled the headphones off the boy's head.

"You should listen to me!"

“…What the hell?!”

The boy was obviously frightened and thought it was his father who came to the Internet cafe to catch him.

When he turned around, he saw a girl he didn't recognize, which made him a little confused.

Li Xiyue was also stunned after seeing the boy's face.

"Brother, who are you?"

juvenile:"???"

"What are you asking me?"

She realized that she might have recognized the wrong person and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.

There was a hint of apology in her voice, and she hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

"Go away, don't disturb me from playing games."

The young man looked confused and stretched out his hand to drive Li Xiyue away, wondering if he had met a psychopath.

Li Xiyue gently put the other person's headphones back to their original place. Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she was silently expressing her apology.

She apologized softly again, then took two steps back awkwardly, the blush on her face revealing her inner uneasiness.

"Xiyue?"

Suddenly, an unexpected voice came.

He was a young man with a black crew cut, his face had clear contours and exuded a heroic air.

If you look closely, you can find that he has some similarities with Li Xiyue, especially his deep brown eyes, which seem to be able to see into people's hearts and hide unknown secrets.

He is tall and straight, about 1.85 meters tall, wearing a black jacket with a white lining, a simple pair of jeans and a pair of black sneakers.

The whole person looks simple yet fashionable.

He also wore a pair of silver half-frame glasses on his face, giving people an intellectual and elegant feeling.

But he was sitting in the Internet cafe with headphones on, which ruined the feeling.

However, when Lin Yi saw the young man, his pupils suddenly contracted and a feeling of surprise and confusion surged in his heart.

"Really, bro! What are you doing here!?"

Li Xiyue scolded coquettishly, her voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Hearing his sister's reproach, the boy awkwardly moved his hands away from the keyboard, scratched the back of his head, and smiled helplessly:

"You must be under too much pressure. Come here and relax..."

Li Xiyue puffed up her pink cheeks and said angrily:

"There's a competition tomorrow. If you don't take it seriously, I'll tell Grandpa!"

The young man's expression changed slightly, and he quickly waved his hands and begged for mercy:

"Hey! No, no, no, don't tell grandpa!" A pleading look appeared on his face and his eyes were full of tension.

Li Xiyue couldn't help laughing when she saw her brother's expression, but she still raised her white index finger and scolded him in a serious tone:

"Then you can't do this again in the future!"

The boy nodded repeatedly and assured, "I know, I know!"

……

I watched the young man decisively log off the computer where he was playing the ranking game, ignoring the highly coded greetings from his teammates, and leave the Internet cafe with his sister Li Xiyue.

Ruan Yaoyao gently placed her fingers on her lips, her eyes were blurred, and she seemed to be lost in deep memories.

The figure of the young man just now appeared in her mind. She seemed to have seen his figure somewhere, but it was a little blurry.

"Hmm, that person looks familiar. Is he also a contestant in the Little Phoenix Cup? I think his name is something like..."

Ruan Yaoyao talked to herself, trying to find the answer from her memory.

"Li Zeyang."

Lin Yi's voice suddenly sounded, continuing Ruan Yaoyao's words.

Li Zeyang, like his sister Li Xiyue, is not one of the seeded players who are given special attention on the list.

Their names did not attract much attention before the game, nor were they expected to do so.

The reason why Lin Yi remembered Li Zeyang was not because of his strength or record, but because it was rare for him and his sister Li Xiyue to participate in the Little Phoenix King Cup at the same time, which left an impression on him.

So far, Li Zeyang has only sent out one Pokémon in the game - Meerkat.

The performance of this Pokémon was not particularly eye-catching, and Li Zeyang's performance in the preliminaries could only be described as mediocre, without many highlights.

Therefore, Lin Yi did not conduct a deeper understanding and research on Li Zeyang.

But just now, Lin Yi's impression of Li Zeyang changed completely.

When Lin Yi set his eyes on Li Zeyang, he accidentally saw the shadow under his feet, and a familiar panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

Pokémon: Machado

Gender: Asexual

Attribute: Ghost/Fighting

grade:? ? ?

Features: Technical Expert

The legendary mythical beast, the shadow-dwelling Pokémon, Machado.

Lin Yi stood up and said to Ruan Yaoyao.

"Let's follow."

"Huh? Oh."

Ruan Yaoyao was slightly stunned and nodded.

……

As the night deepened, Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao quietly left the brightly lit Internet cafe, their eyes fixed on Li Zeyang and Li Xiyue in front of them.

Like ghosts in the night, they moved silently around the edge of the city, keeping a cautious distance to ensure that they would not be noticed.

The dark clouds in the sky were like a giant hand, silently blocking the light of the moon and shrouding the earth in a hazy shadow.

Lin Yi frowned, he had a bad feeling.

He looked around and found that they had gone away from the hustle and bustle of the city and came to a remote and desolate place.

"Yaoyao, have you noticed that we seem to be led to an increasingly remote place?"

Lin Yi whispered to Ruan Yaoyao, with a hint of vigilance and uneasiness in his voice.

Ruan Yaoyao nodded, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

The two continued to follow, but Lin Yi had already started to consider various possible situations in his mind.

Their footsteps were light and firm in the night, and they took every step carefully, trying not to make any noise.

In the silent winter night, Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao's footsteps echoed softly on the desolate path.

The surrounding scenery gradually became desolate, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the tranquility in the night, seeming particularly abrupt.

Ruan Yaoyao suddenly stopped, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

"Lin Yi," her voice was a little uncertain, "did you hear anything?"

Lin Yi turned to look at her, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. "What?"

Ruan Yaoyao seemed to be searching for the right words in her mind; her voice was low and exploratory.

"It's that kind of sound...similar to the sound of insects."

“The sound of insects?”

Lin Yi repeated, his eyes wandering in the darkness around him, trying to catch the subtle sound.

They stood there quietly, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the gentle breeze of the night breeze.

"Wait, insects chirping?"

Lin Yi suddenly realized something. He stopped abruptly and a hint of alertness flashed in his eyes.

"It's winter, how can there be insects chirping?"

Ruan Yaoyao also felt something was wrong. She moved closer to Lin Yi and whispered, "This voice...seems a little unnatural."
