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

It seems that in order to deal with the Little Phoenix Cup, Tao Mengli resolutely chose to use the Water Stone to allow the Shellder to successfully evolve into a Thorny Clam.

Ruan Yaoyao pondered secretly in her heart and sincerely admired Tao Mengli's courage and decisiveness.

From an outsider's perspective, evolution seems to have only benefits and no harm.

They often only see the significant improvement in the strength of Pokémon after evolution, but do not understand the many hidden problems.

However, as long as you are a trainer, you will deeply understand how much trouble Pokémon will cause after evolving.

It is true that evolution will indeed make Pokémon's strength achieve a qualitative leap.

Just like Magikarp, before it evolved, it had almost no fighting power and could only use water splashing helplessly in the water, at the mercy of others.

But once it evolves into Gyarados, it possesses great strength and majestic aura.

The same is true for Clownfish. Before its evolution, it was ugly and relatively weak, but after evolving into Milotic, it instantly became beautiful and powerful.

But not all Pokémon can easily adapt to their new evolved bodies.

After Pokémon evolves, it is common for them to have personality changes and refuse to obey commands.

When Gyarados evolved, its temperament changed drastically. It used to get along harmoniously with Lin Yi, but suddenly it was full of contempt for Lin Yi as a trainer.

It became irritable and difficult to control, causing great distress to Lin Yi.

After Tornado evolved, it also became unwilling to follow commands.

It began to have its own ideas and no longer obeyed Lin Yi's orders as before.

Of course, after that, under Lin Yi’s “love education”, they all gradually realized their mistakes and became more well-behaved and obedient.

Lin Yi spent a lot of time and energy communicating with them, helping them adapt to their new bodies and strength, and rebuilding trust and tacit understanding.

Normally, after Pokémon evolve, trainers have to spend a lot of time and energy helping them adapt.

This includes not only physical adaptation, such as control of strength and flexibility of movement, but also psychological adaptation, such as changes in personality and recognition of one's new abilities.

Trainers need to patiently guide Pokémon, allowing them to gradually become familiar with their new selves and find a way to get along with the world after evolution.

In fact, Ruan Yaoyao had previously thought about using the top-grade metal film she had obtained before to evolve Scyther.

However, after careful consideration, she considered that the evolved Scyther might not be able to adapt to the new body before the Little Phoenix Cup.

After all, the Little Phoenix Cup is an important competition and time is tight. If Scyther evolves at this time, its performance in the competition may be affected due to the long adaptation period.

Moreover, the uncertainty brought about by evolution also makes Ruan Yaoyao worried.

She didn't want to put Scyther in trouble because of a momentary impulse, so she had no choice but to give up in the end.

Tao Mengli actually dared to evolve the spiny clam in such a short period of time, making it adapt to herself, and has kept it hidden until now. This is really a very courageous move.

Tao Mengli must have made this bold decision after careful consideration and careful preparation.

Ruan Yaoyao stared quietly at the game on the big screen, her thoughts were like flying catkins, complicated and difficult to calm down.

She admired Tao Mengli's courage and determination, but was also lost in thought about her own caution and hesitation.

……

"Bang bang bang bang-"

A series of clear and rapid sounds suddenly rang out in the water field, breaking the original tranquility.

The spiny clam locked its target firmly on the octopus barrel, and its hard shell trembled slightly, as if it was accumulating all its strength.

Then, like a small, accurate turret, it continuously fired sharp spikes.

Those spikes were like lightning, swiftly cutting through the air and heading straight for the octopus barrel with an extremely fierce momentum.

Faced with this sudden and fierce attack, the octopus bucket did not show any panic at all.

It quickly twisted its flexible tentacles, which were like dancing ribbons, drawing graceful arcs in the water.

Then, with amazing agility, it dived to the bottom of the water in an instant and disappeared from the sight of the spiny shell in the blink of an eye.

Those spikes sank into the water, causing only slight ripples, and then became silent like a stone sinking into the sea, as if they were quietly swallowed up by the deep water world.

At this time, the water venue fell into a brief silence again, as if silently accumulating strength for the next round of fierce confrontation.

"Octopus barrel, tidal vortex."

Seeing this, Senyu immediately began to give orders.

As his orders were given, the originally calm water surface changed instantly.

The waves began to surge, as if they were given life, and continued to roll.

Soon, the waves gathered together to form a huge whirlpool.

The vortex was like a powerful gravitational field, emitting an irresistible force.

The spiny clam was caught in the chaos and fell into extreme panic for a moment.

Its hard shell trembled violently in the rushing water, as if it could be crushed by this powerful force at any time.

It waved its body desperately, trying to break free from the whirlpool, but the water flow was like countless invisible hands, holding it tightly and making it unable to move.

The water in the whirlpool constantly hit its body, causing it to feel pain and dizziness.

"Spiny Shell, aim at the water surface, freeze beam."

Tao Mengli spoke calmly, her voice was crisp and firm, like a stabilizing force in the tense arena.

Hearing the trainer's voice, the panic in Shellfish's heart instantly dissipated, replaced by a calm strength.

It quickly adjusted its state and focused its attention on the turbulent water.

That small body seemed to contain endless energy, ready to explode at any time.

It aimed at the target, and an extremely cold icy light condensed in its mouth. The icy light flashed with a cold light, as if it could freeze everything.

With a slight sound, the icy light shot out like lightning and hit the water surface accurately.

"Zi-"

A sharp sound was heard, and the water surface hit by the ice light began to quickly form a huge ice surface around it.

The ice surface spread rapidly like a spider web, emitting a biting cold.

Without any hesitation, the spiny shell immediately leaned against the nearest ice surface and climbed up with difficulty.

Although its movements were a bit clumsy, on the ice, it finally broke free from the vortex and regained its own fighting rhythm.

The turbulent water was unable to penetrate the ice and could only surge angrily beneath it, as if it was unwilling to accept its failure.

The atmosphere in the entire water venue became more tense. The audience was attracted by this exciting match and stared at the field intently, looking forward to what would happen next.
