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

"Student Nima? Student Nima?"

The calls seemed particularly urgent, and the sudden shouts were like a flash of lightning, instantly bringing Nima back to his senses from his thoughts.

He slowly raised his head and saw a middle-aged man who was slightly overweight and had a big belly.

He was wearing a slightly worn grey suit, his hair was a little sparse and slightly greasy, and the wrinkles on his face were like marks carved by time, showing the vicissitudes of life.

The middle-aged man's face was full of worry, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes revealed deep concern and worry, and he looked at himself quietly.

His expression was full of concern and worry, as if he had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.

"What's wrong, Teacher Zheng?" Nima asked softly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Zheng Haoran hurriedly took out a tissue from his pocket and gently wiped the sweat that kept oozing out of his forehead. His slightly trembling hands showed his inner uneasiness.

At this moment, he was full of worries and didn't know how to start for a while.

He was not the team leader sent by Yandu this time. However, when he saw Nima accidentally injuring his opponent again on TV, he had a bad premonition.

That premonition was further confirmed when he saw Nima's poor performance in the team battle.

Zheng Haoran, who was extremely worried, boarded the plane without hesitation and traveled all the way to the imperial capital.

However, when he actually stood in front of Nima and looked at Nima's tired dark circles, he became confused again and didn't know what to do.

Is it to give comfort or encouragement?

Or tell him that it's normal for a trainer to get injured, and let him relax?

However, he knew in his heart that if these methods had worked, things would not have developed to this point.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Nima left directly at the urging of the staff and came to the stadium.

The atmosphere on the field was warm and tense.

The audience's cheers rose and fell, as if they were going to blow the roof off the entire venue.

Nima stood in the contestant preparation area, but his eyes looked somewhat empty.

The scene of accidentally injuring the opponent in the previous game and his poor performance in the team battle kept appearing in his mind.

Those scenes followed him like a shadow, filling his heart with guilt and uneasiness.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

But the waves in his heart were hard to calm down, and he didn't know how to face the next game.

Looking at the standard competition venue in front of him, Nima's Adam's apple moved slightly, and that subtle movement seemed to reveal his inner tension and anxiety.

He gritted his teeth, bravely walked into the audience's field of vision.

As players from both teams entered the field one after another, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

The air seemed to freeze, so heavy that it made it difficult to breathe.

The audience's eyes were focused on the two players, looking forward to the start of this fierce showdown.

After the referee confirmed that both parties were in place, he raised the microphone and began to read the rules.

"The rules of the game are 1v1, and both players can only use one Pokémon..."

Nima didn't have the energy to listen to the referee's voice, his mind seemed to still be immersed in the previous troubles.

He raised his hand and looked at the Poké Ball in his hand, his arm shaking slightly.

The Poké Ball seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, carrying his pressure.

"Tsk!"

Nima's opponent was a tall bald man with a face full of flesh and a fierce look. He was indeed the type of person who would make people automatically stay eight meters away from him when he walked on the street.

He noticed Nima's absent-minded state and suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He mistakenly thought that the other party was looking down on him, and he clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, his eyes full of provocation and dissatisfaction.

"How could such a loser like Ruan Tianwang speak up for him?"

He muttered to himself, his contempt for Nima making him even more eager to teach him a lesson in this match.

The bald man's name is Li Tiezhu, and he was born in a remote rural area.

He spent his childhood in that simple land.

Since childhood, Li Tiezhu has shown extremely high physical fitness.

Although not as talented as Ruan Tianli and Ruan Yaoyao, they are already extremely terrifying compared to ordinary people.

His father was delighted to see that his son was stronger than others and as solid as an iron pillar, so he named him Li Tiezhu.

In that small village, Li Tiezhu's name gradually became known to people, and everyone knew that there was a child as strong as a tiezhu.

There are no Pokémon in the village. The village chief only has a Kentaro captured with a Poké Ball. This Kentaro is mainly used for farming and is an important labor force in the village.

In this remote village, most people only know that the profession of trainer is "something for city people".

They lead a simple and rustic life every day, living with the land, and have never thought about setting foot in the distant and strange world of trainers.

Li Tiezhu is no exception. He has never planned to become a trainer.

In his perception, his future is to be like his parents, guarding this land, working from sunrise to sunset, and living a simple and stable life.

He never thought that the turning point of fate would come quietly and bring him into a completely different world.

Originally, Li Tiezhu's life should have been like his father's, staying in the countryside all his life, leading a dull and mediocre life every day.

As soon as the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on the earth, he went to the fields with his parents and began to work hard.

They waved farm tools, and drops of sweat fell, moistening the land beneath their feet.

In the evening, when the afterglow of the setting sun gradually dyed the sky red, they dragged their tired bodies and slowly returned home.

Guarding that small piece of heaven and earth, life is simple and plain, but also peaceful and stable.

However, an accidental opportunity, like the gears of fate turning quietly, completely changed his life.

It was a seemingly ordinary day, and the young Li Tiezhu was helping his parents work in the fields as usual.

The sun shines warmly on the earth, and the crops in the fields sway gently in the breeze, as if telling the story of the years.

Just then, the figure of a traveler appeared in his sight.

The traveler was none other than Ruan Tianli.

It may be inappropriate to call him a traveler because Nguyen Tianli did not go to that place for tourism.

While carrying out a crucial mission of the alliance, Ruan Tianli and other members of the alliance were accidentally separated.

The communication equipment was also damaged in the accident, and even his Pokémon were handed over to the doctor who was traveling with him. Only Flame Chicken and Lucario were by his side.

However, Ruan Tianli was not at all panicked.

With his amazing physical fitness, there is no need to worry about safety in the wild.

After he found a river, he followed it along the river.

The river gurgled, as if guiding him in the direction.

Finally, he found a village so remote that it wasn't even marked on the map.
