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

"Lin Yi~"

Accompanied by a clear and pleasant shout, Ruan Yaoyao came slowly towards us with light and graceful steps, like a dancing butterfly.

Her lively eyes were sparkling, and there was a smile as bright as a blooming spring flower on the corner of her mouth. At the same time, she was gently shaking the Poké Ball in her hand that exuded a mysterious aura.

"Spy Mantis's injuries have healed!"

Ruan Yaoyao said excitedly, her voice revealing a joy that was hard to conceal.

"Well, that's great. Congratulations on its successful promotion."

Lin Yi smiled slightly to show his approval, and stretched out his broad and warm palm to gently stroke Ruan Yaoyao's small and cute head.

Ruan Yaoyao squinted her eyes comfortably, enjoying the intimacy and care like a docile and well-behaved kitten.

However, at this warm moment, she seemed to suddenly notice something strange, and her originally relaxed and happy expression instantly became tense.

"What...what happened? Did I hurt you accidentally?"

Seeing Ruan Yaoyao's expression suddenly change, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little worried and confused, and quickly retracted his hand.

Ruan Yaoyao shook her head vigorously, then quickly turned her head away, her eyes filled with strong hostility, looking straight in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Lin Yi subconsciously followed Ruan Yaoyao's gaze and saw Li Zeyang standing quietly not far away. His deep eyes were as cold as the water in a cold pond, staring at him expressionlessly.

Lin Yi frowned slightly, but still maintained basic courtesy, raised his arm and waved to Li Zeyang in a friendly manner.

Seeing this, Li Zeyang simply nodded slightly in response, then turned around without hesitation, walking farther and farther away until he disappeared from sight.

After Li Zeyang left, Lin Yi focused his attention on Ruan Yaoyao beside him again, lowered his head and asked softly:

"Yaoyao, what happened? Why do you have such great hostility towards that person?"

At this moment, Ruan Yaoyao was still staring at Li Zeyang's receding back, as if she wanted to see through the air the secret hidden deep in his heart.

"This guy has a strong hostility towards you." Ruan Yaoyao said seriously.

"hostility?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but frown when he heard this, with a look of doubt on his face. He was obviously very confused about what Ruan Yaoyao said.

You know, he is usually kind to others and has never provoked anyone. It is hard to understand why someone would have such strong hostility towards him.

However, Lin Yi knew very well that Ruan Yaoyao's senses were extremely sharp, even surpassing those of some Pokémon.

Because of this, he would not doubt the truthfulness of what Ruan Yaoyao said at all.

But the question is, when and where did I do something that caused Li Zeyang to be hostile to me?

He was puzzled at the moment, after all, his current competitor was not Li Zeyang himself.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lin Yi's mind like lightning.

Could it be the result of the incident in the previous game where he eliminated Li Zeyang's sister Li Xiyue?

Perhaps it was because Li Zeyang felt sorry for his sister and wanted to avenge her that he developed such deep hostility towards himself?

If you think about it carefully, this possibility does exist, and it is not small.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Lin Yi stared at Ruan Yaoyao and slowly said:

"Yaoyao, why don't we go watch his game together?"

Ruan Yaoyao thought about it for a moment, then readily agreed: "Well, okay."

……

At this moment, on the field covered with rugged rocks, Li Zeyang's opponents and their Pokémon's bodies trembled slightly involuntarily. They were full of fear and stared at the Pokémon sent out by Li Zeyang.

The Pokémon was about half a person's height, with a human-like body shape, and its entire body was a deep, ink-black color.

Its orange-red eyes seemed to be burning with flames, making people afraid. This was the legendary mysterious beast - Machado!

The commentator was so shocked that his voice was slightly distorted:

"Dear audience friends! Look! Li Zeyang actually used Machado! This scene is truly unbelievable and unbelievable!"

In an instant, the entire audience was boiling as if a blockbuster bomb had been dropped into them.

Some people were dumbfounded, with their mouths wide open, as if they could not accept what they saw at all.

Others couldn't help but stand up from their seats, waving their arms desperately and shouting Machado's name at the top of their lungs.

Some even couldn't contain their excitement and were eagerly whispering with people around them, speculating with great interest on the possible development of the game.

"Wow! Machado! I actually saw Machado with my own eyes! This is just like a dream, it's so shocking!"

There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd, as if they had seen the rarest treasure in the world.

People opened their eyes wide, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Who on earth is Li Zeyang? How could he possess a legendary beast like Machado?"

Some people couldn't help but sigh, and their hearts were full of curiosity and awe towards Li Zeyang.

"I think this match is a foregone conclusion, right? Facing such a powerful Machado, how can the opponent have a chance of winning?"

Everyone was whispering and discussing, and they all thought that the winner had been decided.

At this point, the referee was in a dilemma. According to the rules of the Little Wind King Cup, the Pokémon used by the contestants must not exceed level 30.

However, as a mythical beast, Machado's level could not be detected by conventional means, which made the referee feel very difficult and he did not know how to make the decision.

Just as the referee was hesitating, the organizer's clear and firm voice suddenly came from the headset.

The referee listened quietly and nodded from time to time to show that he understood.

Then, he looked at Li Zeyang's opponent with a trace of pity, waved his hand gently, indicating that the game could continue.

In this noisy and boiling atmosphere, Li Zeyang's opponent's face became paler and paler.

He held the Poké Ball tightly in his hand, his hands trembling slightly and cold sweat on his forehead.

The Pokémon Prince Po beside him seemed even more anxious. He paced back and forth constantly, with obvious fear in his eyes. It was obvious that he was completely suppressed by Machado's powerful aura.
