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

The venue was noisy, and the audience's whispers intertwined into a buzzing sound, but Lin Yi seemed to be isolated by an invisible cover and could not hear the disturbance in the outside world at all.

His gaze seemed to have substance, wandering back and forth between Ye Feng and Nima, his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.

But in those deep eyes, there was a hint of unshakable determination.

"Lin Yi?!"

Wang Qingping raised his eyes inadvertently and caught a glimpse of Lin Yi and the other two walking towards him in the distance. His heart suddenly tightened and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

In an instant, regret surged into his heart like a tide, and he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

I was too careless and completely underestimated the strength of Ye Feng and the other two.

I thought I could easily control the situation, but I didn't expect the opponent to be so difficult.

Awendu showed his trump card of mega evolution and tried his best, but not only did he fail to defeat the opponent, but he was caught in a flaw and counterattacked fiercely, ending up being eliminated.

Wang Qingping was filled with self-blame and his thoughts drifted away.

He is indeed worthy of being the seeded player who has attracted much attention before the game. His strength is unfathomable.

If I hadn't rashly let Ah Wen fight with me at that time, maybe Ah Wen could have played steadily and lasted a few more rounds in the arena, and wouldn't have left the field so early...

"Captain, don't blame yourself."

Xu Wen took back the Pokémon swiftly. In the darkness, he raised his hand to push up his glasses on the bridge of his nose. His eyes behind the lenses were calm.

On his normally expressionless face, a rare smile of relief appeared, breaking the cold aura.

"If it wasn't for the captain leading me, protecting me, teaching me tactics, and backing me up, I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today. Really, thank you."

Wang Qingping's eyes were slightly hot and his lips were trembling. Just as he uttered the two words "Awen...", Xu Wen strode forward and handed the key stone in his hand to Wang Qingping with his slender fingers.

The keystone still had the residual warmth from the battle. Xu Wen looked at him sincerely and said softly:

"Captain, I'm counting on you now. In this game, you must carry on with our expectations, give it your all, and don't have any more worries."

Wang Qingping took it slowly and held it tightly, as if he was holding the hope and sustenance of the entire team. He nodded heavily, and his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

Wang Qingping held the key stone in his palm, as if holding the heavy trust of his teammates. He took a deep breath, straightened his spine, and looked past Lin Yi and the other two at the arena that was still filled with smoke. The fighting spirit in his eyes was already burning:

"Awen, don't worry, I will never let you down."

Lin Yi had now walked closer with steady steps. His eyes swept over Wang Qingping and Xu Wen, finally landing on the key stone in Wang Qingping's hand. He raised his eyebrows slightly with a stern expression.

"What the hell? Lin Yi?!"

Zhuge An was originally checking the condition of his Pokémon in annoyance, when he suddenly saw Lin Yi standing in front of him. He was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out, and he subconsciously raised his voice and exclaimed.

There was three parts of astonishment, three parts of surprise in that tone, and ninety-four parts of panic that could not be concealed in time.

Lin Yi looked calm, and nodded slightly to Zhuge An as a greeting. Then he turned his gaze and looked directly at Ye Feng who was standing beside him. He raised his eyebrows and said jokingly:

"You lost just like that? You boasted a lot on a daily basis, and I thought you could sweep all the way and kill everyone."

Ye Feng shrugged nonchalantly, spread his hands, put on a carefree smile on his face, and pretended to be helpless:

"I'm a wimp, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm not as skilled as others, so I just admit defeat. There's no need to be pretentious."

Although these were self-deprecating words, there was not much frustration in his eyes and brows. Instead, he showed an open-minded and casual nature.

"We will avenge you."

Ruan Yaoyao took light steps forward, her bright eyes revealing determination. She clenched her fists and shook them in front of her. Her words were loud and clear, revealing an unquestionable determination.

"Well, then, go for it."

Ye Feng raised the corner of his mouth, a smile reaching his eyes, he raised his hand and made a cheering gesture, his eyes full of trust and expectation,

"I'll be waiting here to see you return victorious and take my place back!"

"come on."

Nima echoed in a low but powerful voice. When he turned to look at Lin Yi, their eyes met and there was silent encouragement in their eyes.

Although the defeat made several people feel bad, at this moment, the tacit understanding prompted them to put aside their disappointment and cheer for their teammates who were still on the field.

As soon as he finished speaking, the staff quickly stepped forward and politely signaled Nima, Ye Feng and Xu Wen to leave.

The three of them looked at each other, then followed the staff out of the venue.

Ye Feng would look back from time to time and make faces at Lin Yi and the others. He looked as if this defeat was just a small episode that would not affect the friendship between them at all.

The venue was still noisy, and the audience's shouts were like surging waves, one after another.

After the figures of Nima, Ye Feng and the others completely disappeared around the corner, Lin Yi slowly withdrew his gaze, as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he quickly turned his head and looked at Ruan Yaoyao and Mi Yu beside him, his expression solemn but revealing a trace of unshakable determination, and said:

"Don't make any moves. I will fight him one-on-one in this battle."

"what?"

Ruan Yaoyao screamed subconsciously, and was about to raise her hand to signal Scyther to go forward to meet the enemy, but her movement stopped abruptly.

Mi Yu was also stunned, his eyes wide open, confusion written all over his face. He stood there for a moment, at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing the two people's reactions, Lin Yi hurriedly explained, speaking quickly but clearly:

"Think about it, in this situation, Wang Qingping and his men have been taken advantage of by us, and their vitality has been severely damaged and their condition is low.

But the situation on the field is changing rapidly, and there may be other opponents waiting in the dark, waiting to reap the benefits. If we all go all in, we can indeed win this game quickly, but what about the future?

Once your attention is dispersed, it will be bad if someone else takes advantage of you. So, you guys stay alert around and help me guard the rear to prevent others from taking advantage of you."

At the end, Lin Yi's tone unconsciously weakened a little, and there was a hint of request between his eyebrows, almost begging,

"Just... just let me be willful this time."

Ruan Yaoyao and Mi Yu looked at each other, and their eyes met. They instantly understood the tacit approval and support in each other's eyes.

Without saying much, they silently took a few steps back, found a position with a wide field of vision and good vigilance, scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, and the Poké Balls in their hands were ready to go, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

"Thanks."

Seeing this, Lin Yi felt warm at heart and thanked him softly.

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand slightly, and the Gyarados behind him was surrounded by splashes of water, like a dragon emerging from the sea. Its huge body rushed forward with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

Almost at the same time, another ray of light flashed, and the blazing roaring tiger appeared majestically. It took a few steps to Lin Yi's side and stared ahead with a fierce look.

It protected Lin Yi firmly behind it, preventing him from being affected by the upcoming fierce battle.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and strode towards the center of the battlefield. His eyes were locked on Wang Qingping, and his whole body was filled with fighting spirit, as if he wanted to ignite the air around him.
