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

(What? How do you know that I, Zhu Zi, spawned a Shining Axefang Dragon?)

……

"You are worthy of being Yu Sheng. You don't get the title of seeded player for nothing. You are really good!"

Ji Zechen, with a big smile on his face, strode forward, raised his hand and patted Yu Sheng's shoulder heavily. The warmth he showed made it seem as if the two of them were close friends who had known each other for many years.

Yu Sheng, however, seemed not to have heard anything. He still stood there straight without looking back. His eyes were like those of a sharp eagle, fixed on the direction of the deep and quiet forest not far away, which seemed to hide endless secrets.

He pursed his lips tightly and frowned slightly, as if a complicated chess game was playing out rapidly in his mind, and others had no way of getting a glimpse of it.

"The organizers never officially announced any seeded players. Those titles were just given to them by overly enthusiastic fans."

Yusheng's tone was flat, and there was no trace of emotion in his calm voice. His gaze was still fixed on the depths of the forest.

"Although it hasn't been officially announced, this really shows your strong strength!"

Ji Zechen raised his eyebrows, a slightly playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes revealed undisguised pride, and then he raised his voice and said,

"Even the famous seeded player Xingzhu, after seeing our battle, had to run away with his tail between his legs, didn't he?"

After saying that, as if remembering Xingzhu's fleeing appearance, Ji Zechen couldn't help but burst into laughter, but before the laughter died down, he sighed regretfully.

"Alas, I never thought that he would slip away from under our noses. It's such a pity that the cooked duck flew away!"

Ji Zechen smacked his lips, his face full of annoyance, and he crossed his arms across his chest, shaking his head continuously.

"Xingzhu should not be underestimated. His combat awareness is first-rate. We have more people, which is of course an advantage.

But he went straight into the forest area, where the terrain is complicated. If we rush in and he finds the right opportunity to attack us, we will be the ones who suffer. "

Yu Sheng turned his head slightly and looked at Ji Zechen calmly. He gave a clear and unhurried explanation, like a calm and experienced military advisor, analyzing the battle situation accurately.

"So that's how it is. As expected of Yu Sheng, you are so thoughtful and considerate. I am convinced!"

Ji Zechen raised his thumb, but there was a barely perceptible gloom in his eyes, and his praise became louder and louder.

Yu Sheng seemed oblivious to the flattery and had no time to pay attention to it. He just lowered his eyes, subconsciously stroking his chin with his slender fingers, and immersed himself in thinking about the next strategic countermeasures.

He didn't notice at all that the smile on Ji Zechen's lips behind him had already frozen, and his eyes instantly became as sinister as the lake water in the dead of winter night, chilling to the bone.

Ji Zechen calmly turned his head slightly and made a secret gesture to the other people around him. His fingertips tapped lightly, and his movements were quick and neat, like some kind of silent code, conveying unknown information.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became extremely tense. The ten players had a tacit understanding and quickly confirmed the action signal through eye contact.

Then, everyone held their breath and whispered instructions to the Pokémon beside them that were ready to go.

Those Pokémon were well-trained and agile, and they ran towards their designated locations silently like a series of agile shadows.

In the blink of an eye, they scattered in all directions, forming fans and rings, trapping Yu Sheng and his Pokémon in the center.

They bared their teeth, energy surged around their bodies, and some crouched in preparation for attack, while others raised their heads and let out intimidating roars, ready for battle.

This sudden change instantly ignited the audience, and the audience who were originally whispering and talking among themselves were like a lit powder keg.

In an instant the atmosphere became boiling, with excited shouts and exclamations rising one after another, wave after wave, sweeping across the entire venue like surging waves.

"What are you trying to do? Why are things so tense all of a sudden?!"

A young audience member in the front row had a look of astonishment on his face. He opened his eyes wide, leaned forward, and tightly grasped the cheering stick in his hand, his face full of disbelief.

A senior fan nearby glanced at him, shook his head, and replied firmly:

"Can't you see it? It's obvious. They are planning to take action against Yu Sheng. It seems that they have been planning for a long time and are going to make a 'big move'!"

"But how could Yu Sheng be backstabbed? Wasn't he cooperating well before?"

A girl with a ponytail in the back row had a puzzled look on her face, her brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and she anxiously asked her companion next to her.

"Well, it's because he's too strong! Look, this big fight lasted for such a long time, and Yusheng's Pokémon was calm and composed, not even breathing heavily, and his strength was terrifyingly stable.

Looking at the other Pokémon, many of them were weak on their feet, panting, covered in wounds, and about to lose their ability to fight. The two sides were not even on the same level of opponents!"

An audience member wearing glasses, who looked like a master of tactical analysis, pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose and gave a clear explanation.

"So, the situation is clear. Even if Yu Sheng doesn't attack them now, as the battle continues, the others will be eliminated one by one. What's more, when all their Pokémon are too weak to get up, what do you think Yu Sheng will do then?

Should I continue the competition with this group of "burdens" and affect my chances of winning the championship, or should I just go all out and eliminate them all? If it were you, what would you choose?"

Another audience member folded his arms across his chest and took over the conversation, his words full of a thorough analysis of the situation.

"Yu Sheng is in great danger now. There are ten people and twenty Pokémon. Two fists cannot beat four hands. The encirclement is impenetrable. Even if he is very powerful, it will be difficult for him to break out. There are too many variables in this situation!"

An old man frowned and sighed worriedly, his eyes fixed on the arena, his face full of worry.

The atmosphere on the field was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, ready to explode at any moment.

Yu Sheng stood tall and straight, like a pine tree, with no trace of panic in his eyes, as if he had already known all the little movements and calculations of the ten people around him.

But even though he had expected this, he still had to be polite. He raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone, his voice steady as he asked:

"What are you going to do?

"That question was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

However, no one responded to his question, and an eerie silence filled the air.

Suddenly, two loud shouts broke the silence:

"Floating ball, will-o'-the-wisp!"

"Positive electricity clapping, electromagnetic waves."

The two people who were shouting had fierce eyes and drove their Pokémon to attack without hesitation. It was obvious that they had no intention of making any explanation and just wanted to catch Yu Sheng off guard.

I saw the dark blue will-o'-the-wisp fire with a strange aura, like a nimble snake, rushing straight towards Queen Tianlengmei.

At the same time, electromagnetic waves flashing with arcs spread out in a fan shape and accurately penetrated into the body of the Iron-masked Ninja.

After the skill took effect, Ji Zechen slowly took a step forward, with a smile that seemed guilty but actually concealed pride on his face, and spoke hypocritically:

"I'm so sorry, Yusheng. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame you and your Pokémon for being too powerful. You're so powerful that we all feel unsure. I'm really worried."

"Is that so?"

Yu Sheng's expression did not change, and his tone remained steady and calm, without any disturbance.

The sweet and cold queen and the iron-faced ninja beside him were well-trained. They did not panic at all because of their abnormal bodies. Instead, they appeared silently beside Yu Sheng, staring at the enemy, silently waiting for orders, and their aura was not inferior at all.
