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

"What did you whisper to it? Why did it become so obedient all of a sudden?"

Zhuge An's face was full of curiosity, his eyes were as big as copper bells, his body leaned forward slightly, and he couldn't wait to get closer to Ye Feng.

Around the stadium, the audience was also very curious, and the stands were instantly in an uproar with buzzing discussions.

As we all know, mini dragons are naturally labeled as "gentle".

They are small and exquisite in shape, and look like carefully carved works of art, round and cute. When they swim, their posture is light and graceful, just like elves dancing in the water, exuding a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Whether living leisurely in the wild or appearing under the careful care of their trainers, they are always well-behaved and friendly, and rarely show their irritable side.

But Ye Feng's mini dragon is actually a rebellious outlier.

If the Little Phoenix Cup had not shown its performance to everyone without reservation, most people would probably find it difficult to imagine the violent behavior and expression of Dratini even if they spent their entire lives imagining.

Its character of starting to fight at the slightest disagreement completely subverts our previous perceptions. It is just like a lit "little firecracker" that can catch fire at any time.

Looking back at past competitions, its "willful" performance is even more astonishing.

Once they were caught in a fierce battle and their blood was boiling, they would be like a wild horse running wildly, completely ignoring Ye Feng's orders.

There were many times when the battle situation was going well and victory was in sight, but because of its unauthorized actions and disrupted the rhythm, the fruits of victory were almost lost and the efforts were in vain.

Precisely because of its "bad record", Ye Feng can now make it behave itself in an instant. How can it not arouse people's curiosity and imagination?

Seeing everyone's attention focused on him, Ye Feng looked a little embarrassed. He raised his hand to touch his nose and scratched his cheek before whispering:

"I told it that if it doesn't obey me again, I will send it to Aunt An's research institute to help after the game."

"???"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves. Everyone's face was full of confusion, with big question marks popping up on their heads. They looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were drawn as if by invisible ropes, all directed towards An Qing who was sitting on the judges' panel, their eyes full of inquiry and speculation.

Everyone was wondering: Why did this mini dragon wilt and become quiet instantly when it heard that it had to go to Dr. An's research institute to help?

Could it be that Dr. An's daily research workload is so heavy beyond imagination that even a Pokémon would be frightened and retreat away when hearing about it?

"Xiaoqing, do you have any idea?"

Lin Guochang sat on the judges' panel, turned sideways, and looked at An Qing, who was also confused, with an inquiring look, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone.

An Qing was confused by this sudden attention. Her eyes were wide open, her face full of innocence and bewilderment. She shook her head subconsciously, spread her hands and said:

"Ah? I really don't know!"

She looked even more confused than the people in the audience. She had no idea why this mini dragon was so "worried" about her research institute.

……

"Nido!"

Accompanied by a loud and penetrating shout, Zhuge An's Nidorino came trotting back from a distance with vigorous and powerful steps.

It looked so anxious, as if it was carrying crucial information and was in a hurry to report the situation to everyone.

It was a coincidence that the gears of fate turned quietly, and Ye Feng, Zhuge An and Nima were lucky enough to be assigned to this green grass area together when the competition group draw was held.

What is even more amazing is that the initial distance between them was not far, as if there was some mysterious force pulling them together, allowing them to quickly find each other and meet up.

All this was possible thanks to Tolin Yi's foresight.

As early as the preparation stage of the event, he used his keen insight into the rules of the competition to actively build bridges between several people, proposing that if they met on the field, they must work together and fight side by side.

They are not arrogant and conceited idiots, but excellent trainers who are wise and open-minded.

They are well aware of the truth that "two fists cannot beat four hands", so they hit it off and finalized the cooperation plan early on, and are eagerly waiting for the competition to begin.

Sure enough, as soon as the whistle of the game sounded, it was like the fuse was lit. The three of them instantly understood what was going on and quickly reunited without any delay or hesitation.

They are already well-known and highly-anticipated seed players, and their Pokémon are strong and well-trained.

The constant training on the training grounds on a daily basis has already forged their excellent combat skills and tacit cooperation.

Faced with such a powerful and united camp, those opponents scattered in the grass area were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot and were defeated one after another.

Up to now, they have been able to overcome all obstacles along the way and, with their outstanding strength and seamless cooperation, have successfully defeated six players, shattering their opponents' dreams of advancement.

If you think about it carefully, there may be one or two "uninvited guests" who accidentally broke in from other areas.

I wanted to try my luck in the grass area and find a bargain, but I didn't expect to run into this ironclad combination and had to return home disappointed.

At this moment, Nidorino, who was shouldering the task of reconnaissance, relied on his agility and excellent perception to shuttle back and forth in the grass, searching carefully, not missing any corner where the opponent might be hiding.

After a careful investigation, it returned with confidence to report.

There are no traces of other players in this huge grass area. At this moment in this "battlefield", only a few of them are still alive.

But next, whether to continue to lie dormant and gather strength, or to take the initiative to explore new battlefields, has become a difficult problem that they need to decide urgently.

"Should we hurry up and meet up with Xiao Linzi and the others?"

Ye Feng's eyes were bright and anxious, and he was the first to break the silence and make a suggestion.

He raised his chin slightly, and his fingers tapped the Poké Ball on his waist unconsciously. In his mind, he had already imagined the heroic scene of joining forces with Lin Yi and others to compete in the arena.

"The competition is getting more intense. With more strength, we will have a better chance of winning. Xiao Linzi and his team are not weak. If we join forces, our hope of winning will be even greater!"

"That's not right, Ye Feng."

Nima frowned, looking serious, and raised his objection.

"We are completely in the dark about the exact location of Lin Yi and the others. If we act rashly, we will be like headless flies running around in this vast arena. The Pokémon will be exhausted and we will be very tired. If we really run into a strong enemy, how can we deal with it? This is just cutting off our own retreat!"

Nima crossed his arms over his chest, leaned back slightly, and looked at Ye Feng and Zhuge An with a firm gaze, trying to convey his confidence with his eyes, hoping that the two of them could think calmly.

Zhuge An stood aside, brows furrowed, stroking his chin with one hand, lost in thought.

Sometimes he looked up at the undulating grass in the distance, and sometimes he looked down at the land beneath his feet, weighing the pros and cons of the two views.

At this time, the breeze was blowing gently and the grass leaves were rustling, as if whispering a reminder, but the three people were concentrating on choosing the route and were unaware that the potential crisis was quietly approaching.
