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

At this moment, the stadium broadcast was like a sharp death warrant. The sharp prompt sound exploded again. The cold electronic sound bounced back and forth between the dome and the four walls, echoing endlessly:

"Attention, contestants, the countdown for the competition has officially begun. There are less than ten minutes left!"

Every word seemed to carry an invisible sense of oppression, slamming heavily into everyone's hearts, making the tense atmosphere even thicker and heavier, almost tangible.

In the stadium, the staff were like a group of mechanical puppets with springs wound up, their hurried footsteps raising a trail of dust, and their figures quickly shuttling back and forth between various areas.

They either crouch down, holding precision testing instruments, and check one by one along the guardrails at the edge of the site, carefully examining every line interface and energy node to ensure that the equipment operates without error and that all personnel are in their precise positions without missing any mistakes.

Lin Yijing stood in the "square" that belonged to him, his feet firmly rooted, accumulating all his energy.

He slowly raised his head, his chest rising and falling dramatically, and he took a deep breath, trying to let his wildly beating heart return to a steady rhythm in this brief moment.

But at this moment, a chill like a ghostly hand quietly climbed up his back and instantly spread to his whole body, making his hair stand on end.

He subconsciously raised his eyes, and his gaze met a pair of dark eyes - it was Ruan Tianli's gaze, which was full of hostility, as deep and cold as a deep pool.

Those eyes, like two poisoned blades, pierced straight at him, filled with warning, jealousy and over-protection of her own precious daughter, as if silently accusing him of the "bold act" of holding Ruan Yaoyao's hand before.

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched uncontrollably a few times, the curve of his mouth twisted so distortedly that it showed his helplessness, the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly, and he lamented in his heart.

He steeled himself, gritted his teeth, and quickly looked away, deciding to just pretend he hadn't seen that "fatal" look, so as not to cause trouble for himself and disturb the calm mind that he had finally gathered before the battle.

The most important thing right now is to deal with the game, and not be hindered by factors outside the game.

Under the orderly guidance of the staff, Ruan Yaoyao was full of curiosity and anticipation, with brisk steps yet a little nervous.

Ye Feng had a calm expression and eyes as sharp as an eagle. He always paid attention to the movements around him, and his every move showed that he was well-trained.

Mi Yu smiled gently and followed the staff.

They followed one after another, arriving at their respective areas one after another, waiting quietly for the competition to begin.

Time flies by like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye, the sixty-four "squares" are full. All the contestants are firmly rooted in their own "battlefields", waiting for the order to fight it out.

Although this venue is vast, in the past melees, at most sixteen people competed on the same field.

Now that the scale has suddenly increased to four times and the number of people has skyrocketed, the "narrow road encounters" between the players will naturally become more frequent, and the collisions and frictions are like dense raindrops that may pour down at any time.

Lin Yi's eyes inadvertently swept into the distance, and he saw several contestants standing in their area with a fierce look in their eyes.

The look was like a hungry wolf staring at its prey, full of hostility and provocation, as if it would cross the space and pounce on you with bared fangs and claws in the next second.

Lin Yi was calm about this, and he knew in his heart where the hostility came from.

In the eyes of everyone, he is the highly-anticipated No. 1 seed player, with a shining halo above his head.

Naturally, he became the target of public criticism. Everyone wanted to defeat this "strong enemy" at the beginning of the melee to pave a smooth path for themselves to win the championship.

As he was thinking, a bright golden color caught his eye. When he looked closely, it was the yellow-haired Li Ye.

When Li Ye first saw Lin Yi, he was stunned at first, full of surprise.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile of understanding.

Seeing this, Lin Yi met his gaze and gave him a slight look that was full of tacit understanding and confidence.

Li Ye's mind suddenly became clear and he nodded slightly, his movements were quick and decisive without any delay.

Lin Yi sighed inwardly, dealing with smart people really saves time and effort.

Sometimes a look or a subtle gesture can speak louder than a thousand words and reach a silent tacit agreement.

Lin Yi, Li Ye, Zhuge An and others had reached a secret consensus long ago - in this competition, they would fight together when necessary, first work together to eliminate the surrounding opponents, and wait until the situation became clear and the time was ripe, then they would compete with each other based on their own abilities.

At this moment, the gears of fate turned quietly. They happened to be in the widest, brightest and unobstructed rock area, like the protagonists in the center of the stage, being the focus of everyone's attention.

Here, Lin Yi and Li Ye have joined forces. As long as the strategy is appropriate and judging from the current situation, if there are no unexpected variables, taking over this area will be as easy as taking something out of a bag.

The stadium was noisy and bustling, and the tense atmosphere of the game was like an invisible net, covering everyone's head and tightly wrapping them up.

When the electronic countdown board hanging high flashed to three minutes before the game, Lin Yi looked calm, and his slender fingers skillfully touched his waist, and according to the established rules, he took out two Poké Balls.

"Bang, bang." With two soft sounds, the Poké Ball opened and a light suddenly appeared.

"Crack!"

"Roar!"

The two big guys, Blazing Roaring Tiger and Gyarados, were so majestic that they instantly attracted countless eyes from the audience. Exclamations and discussions intertwined into a wave of sound.

In the audience, everyone was whispering and talking.

In the rookie stage, most trainers' initial Pokémon are still in the first stage and their power is still immature.

Only a few with outstanding talents, through unremitting efforts and coincidence, can make their Pokémon enter the second stage.

But Lin Yi's Fiery Roaring Tiger was really surprising. Everyone still remembered that before the suspension, it was just a small and agile torrent cat.

Who could have expected that after the rematch, he would transform himself so completely and successfully evolve into the majestic and impressive person he is today.

It seems that during this period of no competition, Lin Yi and his Pokémon must have experienced many exciting stories.

Lin Yi lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head, giving up the idea of ​​sending Zeraora.

To be fair, once Zeraora comes on the field, with its extraordinary speed and powerful electrical power, it is almost certain to win the championship.

However, the organizers had made it clear before the game that a rare and powerful mythical beast like Zeraora, with its almost "cheating" abilities, would be unfair to other players if it participated in the competition, so it was expressly banned from participating.

But even so, Lin Yi is very confident that he can win the championship with the help of Blazing Tiger and Gyarados.

At the other end of the venue, Li Ye's expression was a little complicated. After taking a deep breath, he threw the Poké Ball with both hands, and Charmeleon and Beedrill appeared.

But when Li Ye's eyes fell on Lin Yi's majestic roaring tiger, his pupils shrank slightly, and he thought to himself:

The speed of evolution is amazing!

However, besides being astonished, a sense of relief quietly crept into my heart.

He clearly remembered that he had reached a cooperation with Lin Yi by chance. Thinking about it now, he felt very lucky.

Li Ye knew very well that Lin Yi had a bold and resolute character. If there was no such cooperative relationship, according to his style of doing things, at the beginning of the game, he would definitely eliminate the most threatening opponent in his area first, without giving the opponent any chance to breathe.
