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

"Well, it's going to rain." Ruan Yaoyao murmured softly.

At this moment, she was in the mountain range of Dragon Island where the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragons lived. After frowning slightly, she shook her pink fists, which were slightly swollen due to the long battle, and raised her head to look up at the sky.

Around Ruan Yaoyao, a group of bat-tailed scaly-armored dragons were lying in a mess, their faces swollen and bruised. Some of them had fallen into a coma, lying on the ground in a weird and twisted posture; others were still awake, but their eyes were filled with endless fear, staring at the seemingly innocent and harmless girl in front of them.

These quasi-gods who were usually arrogant and domineering would never have imagined in their dreams that they would actually lose to an ordinary human woman in terms of physical strength, and in a state of complete crushing defeat!

"Look, you guys can just sit down and talk calmly, but you had to make things so tense. Come on, it's almost dark..." Ruan Yaoyao said as she stretched out her white and tender fingers like onions, standing on a high place and pointing at the group of miserable dragons below.

In fact, at the beginning, Ruan Yaoyao just wanted to subdue a Heart Scale Treasure in a peaceful and friendly way. After all, violence is not the best way to solve the problem, so she originally planned to try to communicate with the other party first, and it would be best if she could avoid fighting.

Who would have thought that this large group of bandit-like rod-tailed armored dragons would be so unreasonable and attack her without hesitation when they saw her appear.

What could she do? She was forced to defend herself.

Just ...

Ruan Yaoyao looked at their bruised and swollen faces and began to doubt herself.

Is that a bit too defensive?

"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's quickly pick a Heart Scale Treasure to subdue, and then find a place to shelter from the rain."

Ruan Yaoyao just raised her foot and took a small step forward, and the large group of dragons in front of her retreated backwards like frightened birds. Every time she took a step forward, the dragons would follow suit and take a step back.

Seeing this, Ruan Yaoyao couldn't help but feel speechless: "......"

Seeing Ruan Yaoyao's face gradually darkening, the group of dragons obviously realized that their behavior might have caused the girl's dissatisfaction and displeasure, and a feeling of fear suddenly rose in their hearts.

Then, after a loud noise, a relatively large and older looking Armored Dragon stood out reluctantly after being pushed by other companions. It stepped forward and asked Ruan Yaoyao cautiously.

"...Hmm...Hmm?"

However, due to the language barrier between the two sides, Ruan Yaoyao could not understand what the staff-tailed scaly-armored dragon meant. In desperation, she could only look for help at the already numb Scytherium standing beside her.

“Tsk, tsk.”

The Scyther seemed accustomed to this situation, and it accurately translated the question of the Scytherium with a brief call.

"Oh! So you're asking me what I'm doing here?" Ruan Yaoyao suddenly realized something and showed a look of 'I see' on her face. Then, she puffed up her pink cheeks and said with a hint of complaint,

"You are obviously wrong. I just wanted to capture a Heartscale Treasure in a peaceful and friendly way. Who knew you would just attack without saying a word?"

Rod-tailed Scaled Dragon: “…”

You don’t have the Dragon’s Fang with you, so how do we know that you are a human who came here to gain experience?

Never mind, your fist is bigger, so what you say is it!

"My Dragon's Fang of course... oh yeah."

As Ruan Yaoyao spoke, she clapped her hands vigorously, as if she suddenly remembered something important.

"I left the Dragon's Fang in my bag and forgot to take it out. I left the bag next to a river at the foot of the mountain. I had planned to return there and set up camp after I captured the kindhearted Scale Treasure."

"Hoo, hoo?"

Hearing her say this, the staff-tailed scale-armored dragon immediately changed to a flattering expression, nodded repeatedly, and then turned back to the tribe to discuss with other members. After some discussion, they finally reached a consensus and decided to bring all the heart-scale treasures over so that Ruan Yaoyao could choose them personally.

If this person is really a human who came to the island to accept the test, then it may not be a bad thing for the staff-tailed scaly dragon to let its younger generation go out for training.

This is completely voluntary! There is absolutely no coercion!

"Huh? Are you letting me choose for myself?"

Ruan Yaoyao squatted down, the atlas in her hand reflecting her serious and focused expression. Her eyes switched back and forth between the atlas screen and the group of Heart Scale Treasures in front of her, as if she was looking for some special information.

There were about 10 to 20 Heart Scale Treasures of varying levels. They huddled together so that they could feel at ease under the gaze of the humanoid female Tyrannosaurus.

Their eyes revealed fear of Ruan Yaoyao, but at the same time, there was also despair about an unknown fate.

After all, they saw with their own eyes how the elders in the tribe rushed forward without hesitation, and how they were easily pinned to the ground and rubbed by the female Tyrannosaurus in front of them.

Even their proud chief fell to the ground unconscious after being hit by her three "duang~duang~duang~" punches.

Under Ruan Yaoyao's gaze, one of them was selected. This Heart Scale Treasure was slightly larger in size and perhaps had a special status in the tribe.

The poor little guy was so scared that he didn't even dare to struggle. He just looked at the female devil in front of him with his little eyes, trying to use himself to exchange for the survival of his tribe.

"Huh?"

The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon came forward anxiously, with a hint of pleading in its voice, trying to convince Ruan Yaoyao by introducing the characteristics of the Heart-Scaled Treasures, while also hinting to the tribesmen to hurry up and take the other Heart-Scaled Treasures away from this dangerous place.

However, Ruan Yaoyao didn't seem to be affected by its little movements, or rather, she noticed it but didn't care.

She gently pinched the back of Xinlinbao's neck with two fingers. Although the action was gentle, it was the result of more than ten years of hard work to control her strength.

She held her chin, lost in thought, as if considering some important decision.

"You said this is the clan leader's offspring, where is your clan leader?"

"...Roar." (Look, he's lying on the ground over there.) There was a hint of helplessness in the voice of the Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon, and it pointed at the tribe leader who was lying on the ground not far away with his mouth open and eyes closed.

"Oh, that's a shame."

So, she took out the Poké Ball and gave Scales the Heart a smile that she thought was kind. "Scales the Heart, are you willing to be my partner?" She asked, her eyes full of expectation and kindness.

“Hmm, hmm…” Although Heart Scale was afraid, it suppressed its fear and nodded bravely under the respectful gaze of its tribe.

"Okay, please give me your guidance next." Ruan Yaoyao's mood became very good. She put the Heart Scale Treasure into the luxury ball, and then left the forest with Scyther, leaving behind a messy ground and a group of frightened Staff-tailed Scaled Dragons.

……╭n╮……

"…What's going on?"

Lin Yi heard the intermittent screams coming from afar and felt helpless.

He has been shouting for quite a while, why not let him rest? He couldn't help but wonder if the guy who made such a noise was beaten by someone?

After walking through the dense forest, Lin Yi came to a broken valley. He originally planned to find a cave in this valley to take shelter from the rain and have a good rest. However, the continuous screams coming from the depths of the forest made it impossible for him to fall asleep.

"Forget it, forget it, I won't sleep anymore," Lin Yi gave up the idea of ​​trying to rest and crawled out of his sleeping bag. He took out a homemade map from his backpack and began to plan his next trip.

"Well, after passing through this forest, we will reach the valley. If we go further in, we should be able to reach the lake in the island. But what exactly is the Dragon Festival mentioned by Dragonite and Dragonite?" Lin Yi muttered to himself, frowning slightly, thinking about his next move.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a scream came from outside the cave, interrupting Lin Yi's thoughts. He looked up and saw Xuwu Yide, who was on night watch, slowly floating into the cave, with a struggling little guy entangled in his tentacles.

"Is this Pokémon... Fang? And it's shiny." Lin Yi saw the little fellow clearly in the light of the campfire and couldn't help but shout out in surprise. Shiny Pokémon are very rare, and their appearance is often considered a symbol of luck.

Lin Yi carefully observed the Shiny Fang. Its body emitted a unique luster that could not be seen in ordinary Pokémon.

Generally speaking, Pokémon like Fang are mainly dark brown, but the one in front of you is light brown, a rare shiny Pokémon.
