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

The wheel of time rolls slowly, and the troubles that once shrouded the Little Phoenix Cup like a haze have finally settled, and everything is like a weary bird returning to its nest, gradually returning to normal.

Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, the highly anticipated Little Phoenix King Cup seemed like the Phoenix King reborn from the ashes, once again perking up its spirit and opening the grand curtain.

Inside and outside the stadium, the tense and heated atmosphere has become so thick that it cannot be dissolved.

The cheers and shouts that have not yet sounded are like ferocious beasts lurking in the dark, surging in the air, ready to burst out as soon as the exciting match after another officially begins.

Looking back, the Little Phoenix King Cup was going smoothly, but something unexpected happened and the event had to be suspended.

At that time, the pace of time would not stop for a moment because of this accident. The subsequent important King of Kings Tournament had already been arranged according to the established schedule and could not be delayed at all.

Faced with this difficult situation, the Xiao Fengwang Cup Organizing Committee demonstrated extraordinary decisiveness and acted promptly, determined to "stop losses" in time and turn the tide to avoid more serious impacts and influences on subsequent events.

Therefore, they had to make a painful decision and drastically redraft the competition rules.

Before the suspension, the top 64 players had just been decided.

Now, facing a complex situation, the tournament has decided to adopt a rather bold and unique competition arrangement.

These 64 outstanding players are gathered together and then thrown into a huge, carefully crafted and decorated venue to start a thrilling melee mode.

The regular one-on-one duels and well-organized group confrontation modes that were common in previous competitions are now completely gone, replaced by a chaotic but unpredictable melee situation.

The contestants feel like adventurers entering a mysterious jungle. They need to keep their eyes and ears open and be alert to all movements around them at all times.

The contestants must not only rely on flexible movements and sophisticated strategies to skillfully maneuver between opponents and protect themselves from being eliminated, but they must also always lie in wait, keenly capture fleeting opportunities, and boldly launch fierce attacks on other opponents.

Only in this way, relying on one's own strong strength, wise strategy and fearless courage, can one gain a firm foothold and stand out in this chaotic battle.

Behind this seemingly "simple and crude" reform of the competition system, there is actually the helplessness and urgency of the organizers.

It is obvious that the organizers want to cut the Gordian knot and bring the Xiaofengwang Cup to a successful conclusion as quickly as possible in the simplest and most efficient way, so as to clear the obstacles for the smooth debut of the King's Tournament and free up ample time and space.

Although for the contestants, this rule change was like a bolt from the blue and was too abrupt.

It was like a carefully built fortress was knocked down in an instant, disrupting the originally orderly rhythm of preparations, and all the well-thought-out and repeatedly polished tactical plans were wasted.

But if we weigh them carefully, the Little Phoenix King Cup is aimed at discovering rough talents and honing green novices, while the King of Kings Tournament is a competition that attracts global attention and gathers the strength of China's top powerhouses.

Comparing the two, the importance of both is clearly distinguished and can be seen at a glance.

Although this unconventional arrangement caught the contestants off guard, it was indeed a helpless move and a choice made after weighing the pros and cons in the current predicament, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Lin Yi had no idea what the other contestants were planning.

You know, if it were him in the past, he might have thought about it carefully and taken all kinds of factors into consideration.

However, at this moment, he didn't even have the energy to think about these things.

He was seen holding tightly in his hands the Blazing Roaring Tiger, known as "the best in the universe", and the terrifying and ferocious Gyarados.

Facing such a strong lineup - two top Pokémon that have completed their final evolution, while most of the opponents are still in the initial stage of development, Lin Yi really can't think of any reason why he would lose this game? !

However, even though we say this, we must not be careless when it comes to actual actions.

After all, the battlefield changes rapidly, and any negligence may lead to a complete loss.

So, Lin Yi followed the guidance of the staff and walked towards the competition venue step by step.

The scene before us is a fairly typical mixed battlefield.

Here, various types of terrain, including hard rocks, lush grasslands, clear waters, dense forests, etc., are distributed in an orderly manner.

The area it occupies is so different from the previous battlefields that it is so much larger.

What is even more amazing is that the organizers have ingeniously divided this huge venue into 64 even areas, and plan to place the 64 contestants participating in the event into each area to start a thrilling competition.

In the stadium, the bustling spectators had already arrived like a tide, filling the stands.

They wore colorful clothes printed with the logos of the players they supported, waved homemade cheering signs with the names and portraits of the players shining on them, shouted passionate slogans, and their surging enthusiasm seemed to overturn the entire stadium.

Looking at those flushed faces, it was obvious that the suspension of the Little Phoenix King Cup for a few days did not dampen their enthusiasm like cold water on a charcoal fire. Instead, it seemed to add fuel to the enthusiasm, making it burn even hotter and more intensely.

"It's about to begin."

Lin Yi's expression froze, his eyes revealing the concentration of an impending battle. He raised his hand and gently touched Ruan Yaoyao's little head, his action full of pampering and comfort.

Ruan Yaoyao clenched her fists, waved them vigorously in the air a few times, and shouted crisply:

"Come on, everyone!"

At this moment, Ye Feng seemed to be suddenly awakened by his memory. His expression tensed up and he quickly reminded:

"Sister Yaoyao, please don't attack other people's Pokémon by yourself when the time comes."

"Hey?"

Ruan Yaoyao paused, her bright eyes instantly filled with doubts, her head tilted slightly, a few strands of hair playfully falling on her cheeks.

"Is it not possible?"

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Lin Yi and several others, including nearby staff, were busy doing the final site inspection and equipment debugging. When they heard this, they froze in mid-air and looked at each other, with the same question in their eyes.

So you were really planning to do it yourself, right?

Mi Yu blinked, thought for a moment, and patiently explained:

"Because this kind of free-for-all competition is full of unexpected situations, in order to ensure fairness and safety, we have set a rule that players are not allowed to command Pokémon to attack players directly. If there is no such restriction, the scene will probably be a mess."

"But since Ruan Tianli, your father Yaoyao, became a trainer, he also issued a rule that does not allow trainers to attack Pokémon."

Mi Yu added, his voice clear and clear, explaining the rules of the competition in an orderly manner.

Lin Yi crossed his arms, glanced at Ruan Yaoyao, and said faintly:

"Trainers can't fight each other."

The tone was half joking, half warning.

"what?"

Ruan Yaoyao pouted, her lower lip trembled slightly, and her plump little mouth shrank, just like a little dumpling who had been wronged, mumbling,

"I forgot again."
