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

Senyu exhaled lightly, and his tense expression finally relaxed a little.

He stared closely at the situation on the field and said slowly, "It's finally over."

There was a hint of fatigue in his words, but also a certainty that victory was in sight.

Then, Moriyu decisively gave orders to the Octopus Barrel to use rock blast.

The octopus barrel quickly gathered strength, its body trembled slightly, and the surrounding rocks seemed to be mysteriously summoned, and five huge rocks flew up in an instant.

Each of these rocks is heavy, with a rough and hard surface, and they smash towards the spiny shells with a fierce momentum.

At this moment, the balance of the spiny clam was completely destroyed because of the collapse of the ice under its feet.

It struggled hard on the crumbling ice, trying to keep its balance, but it seemed so powerless.

Its eyes were filled with panic and helplessness, and it had no time to make any defensive moves.

The five rocks hit the spiny shell with great speed and precision.

When the first rock fell, the body of the spiny clam shook violently, making a dull sound.

Then, the second, the third... every impact of a rock caused the spiny clam excruciating pain.

However, because the advantages brought by breaking the shell were wiped out by the black fog, the Thorny Clam was caught in a dilemma of having its balance destroyed. The Thorny Clam was directly hit in the vitals by the extremely effective rock blast.

The powerful impact caused the spiny clam's body to tremble violently, and it let out a painful wail.

The wailing sound echoed in the stadium, making people feel pity.

After the rock blast, the thorny shell fell helplessly onto the broken ice.

Its once extremely hard shell was now covered with shocking scars.

The scars were of varying depths, and some even had cracks, as if telling of the cruelty of the fierce battle that had just been experienced.

The referee looked serious and took out a small and lightweight device and shone it on the spiny clam.

The device emitted a faint light, scanning the body of the spiny shell.

A moment later, the referee confirmed that the spiny shell had fallen into a coma.

He nodded slightly, then waved the flag in his hand and announced loudly:

"The scorpion lost its ability to fight, and the octopus barrel won! So the winner is contestant Moriyu."

The referee's voice echoed over the stadium, reaching everyone's ears clearly.

The audience was silent at first, as if they were still immersed in the thrilling battle that had just taken place.

Then there was a burst of warm cheers and applause.

They cheered for Moriyu's victory and admired the wonderful performances of Octopus Barrel and Thorny Clam.

"What the hell! Is this the level of a rookie trainer?"

Ruan Tianli, who was sitting on the judges' panel, couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of surprise.

His eyes were fixed on Senyu and Tao Mengli on the field, and his eyes revealed sincere admiration.

Ruan Tianli shook his head slightly, seeming to be still immersed in the wonderful battle that had just taken place.

He sighed: "Chinese trainers are really getting more and more aggressive."

In his opinion, it is amazing that Senyu and Tao Mengli, as rookie trainers, can perform at such a high level.

Ruan Tianli's words resonated among the judges.

The other judges also nodded in agreement. They were all shocked by the battle and proud of the continuous progress of the Chinese trainers.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Senyu stood at the side of the field, his eyes full of pity.

He slowly squatted down, his movements as gentle as the breeze blowing through flower petals.

The hand stretched out with endless tenderness gently stroked the round head of the octopus barrel. The touch was warm and familiar, as if conveying a kind of silent comfort.

At this moment, Octopus Bucket was gasping for breath and looked extremely exhausted.

Its eyes revealed extreme fatigue and it no longer had the strength to speak.

However, it still tried to nod slightly, and that small action was full of trust and dependence on Senyu.

This game was full of tension and excitement from beginning to end.

The strength of the two sides is indeed almost the same, and every detail may determine the outcome.

They each knew each other very well, and whether it was the choice of tactics or the application of skills, it seemed to be within the other party's expectations.

Every attack and defense is a contest of wisdom and courage.

Senyu knew very well that the final victory was pure luck.

In this fierce confrontation, any tiny factor may change the outcome.

Another key point...

Senyu stood up and looked at the girl opposite him with complicated eyes, his girlfriend during his passionate love period - Tao Mengli.

At the last crucial moment, he could clearly feel that Tao Mengli had let him win.

Otherwise, with Tao Mengli's command ability and the strength of the Thorny Shell, if the Thorny Shell uses a hold, it can easily block this extremely effective rock blast.

If that happens, the situation will become unclear again and the outcome will be unpredictable.

Thinking of this, an indescribable emotion surged in Senyu's heart.

Tao Mengli held her knees and slowly squatted down, her movements showing a hint of fatigue and heartache.

Her eyes were fixed on the scarred thorny shell, full of pity and self-blame.

She hurriedly raised the Poké Ball, her movement carrying a hint of urgency and tenderness.

The Poké Ball emitted a soft light and took the Shrimp back.

"I'm sorry, Thorny Shell. It's because of me that you got hurt..."

Tao Mengli whispered apologetically to the Poké Ball. Her voice was soft and trembling, full of guilt.

The Poké Ball swayed slightly, as if to comfort her.

Tao Mengli forced a smile, with a hint of bitterness and relief in it.

She stuffed the Poké Ball back into her pocket, gently and carefully, as if she were protecting a precious treasure.

The moment she stood up, her eyes met Moriyu's.

At that moment, it seemed as if time had stood still, and the air was filled with an indescribable atmosphere.

"..."

Tao Mengli saw the complexity in Senyu's eyes, which contained guilt, gratitude and love@

She was slightly stunned, then she raised the corners of her mouth in a nonchalant manner, that smile was like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, warm and bright.

She gave him a thumbs up. Although no sound came out of her mouth, her lips clearly formed the tone of "congratulations".

There was sincerity and carefreeness in her eyes, as if telling Senyu that this was just a game and there was no need to feel too burdened.

Senyu was slightly stunned. He obviously didn't expect Tao Mengli to react like this.

Before he could respond, Tao Mengli turned around and left through the contestant passage behind her.

Her steps were firm and calm, and her back gradually disappeared into the distance, but it left a deep impression in Senyu's heart.
