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

"Lucario, get out of the way!"

Seeing this, Wang Qingping roared at the top of his lungs, and his command flew out like an arrow into the air.

Lucario reacted quickly, twisting his waist and dodging sideways like a nimble dancer. The surging flames brushed past his body and shot straight at Wang Qingping behind him.

At the critical moment, the Swamp King jumped out from the side with a "plop". It stomped its short and thick limbs heavily on the ground. Its whole body was like a thick meat shield. It faced the oncoming hot flames without hesitation and blocked this wave of attacks with its flesh.

"Wow!????"

The Swamp King was forced to retreat repeatedly by the impact of the flames, his body was charred, but he managed to protect his master successfully.

"Lucario, rock block!"

Wang Qingping took advantage of the situation to counterattack, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

Lucario received the order and raised his arm high, his palm glowing.

As it swung vigorously, several angular rocks the size of a human head came with a whistling sound, like meteorites falling from the sky, pouring towards the fire-breathing dragon in the air.

The Charizard could not be underestimated. Its broad wings vibrated rapidly, creating gusts of wind. It rushed left and right, moved back and forth in the air, dodging the deadly rocks in a thrilling manner.

"Bang bang bang!"

Huge rocks fell to the ground one after another, with flying sand and rocks and billowing dust. A few rocks almost hit Li Ye, and he was so scared that he quickly stepped sideways to avoid them.

This series of attacks distracted Charizard for a moment. How could Wang Qingping miss such a great opportunity? He shouted loudly:

"Lucario, charge forward, Thunder Fist!"

Lucario jumped up like an arrow from a bow. Dazzling lightning suddenly burst out from his fist as big as a casserole, and with a tremendous force, he smashed hard into the side of Charizard's face.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the Charizard had no way to avoid the powerful blow. Its huge body flew out uncontrollably and smashed to the ground, splashing dust all over the sky and causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"call!"

However, before Lucario could get his footing, something unexpected happened.

A flame as thick as a python broke through the flying dust and hit Lucario with incredible accuracy like an arrow targeting its prey.

The extremely effective jet of flames exploded all over its body. Lucario, who was already in poor condition and had been fighting for a long time, could not withstand such a blow. His legs went weak and he fell to the ground. He could only struggle weakly to get up for a long time.

Strange flames would appear from its body from time to time, burning it. The pain made its face turn pale and strands of cold sweat rolled down its forehead.

"Stuck in a burn state? So unlucky!"

When Wang Qingping saw this scene, he couldn't help but smack his lips and felt full of regret.

Who could have expected that Charizard could counterattack so quickly the moment it was knocked to the ground.

"Whoosh-"

On the other side, Charizard also climbed up from the ground panting, its wings trembling slightly, its body covered with scars, and looking quite miserable.

However, Li Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief and calmly analyzed the situation.

Although Charizard is now at low health, it has fortunately entered a raging fire state, and its combat effectiveness has increased instead of decreased.

As long as he grits his teeth and holds on, not giving the opponent any chance to take advantage, Lucario, who is burned and seriously injured, is definitely no match for Charizard.

Thinking of this, Li Ye clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination, and silently said in his heart: I can win! As long as I defeat him, I will definitely enter the top eight!

Li Ye's gaze was like cold stars, fixed tightly on the Swamp King beside Wang Qingping. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of imperceptible worry flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He was well aware of the subtlety and danger of the current situation. Swamp King's thick skin and expertise in water-based techniques were the natural nemesis of Charizard's flames.

As long as Wang Qingping gives the order and lets the Swamp King join the battle, the situation will instantly become extremely unfavorable to him.

This hidden threat was like a sharp blade hanging over his head that could fall at any time, and he dared not slack off in the slightest.

"Charizard, Flame Vortex!"

In a flash, Li Ye had an idea in his mind, and he came up with a plan. He decisively and loudly gave orders.

The Charizard moved at the sound, stretched out its thick neck, opened its big mouth, and raging hot flames wrapped in rolling heat waves, spurting out like a nimble fire snake.

But unexpectedly, the flame seemed to be endowed with spirituality, drawing a strange arc in the air, cleverly bypassing the aggressive Lucario, and turning into a burning net, tightly surrounding the Swamp King and Wang Qingping beside him.

The rules of the competition are like an insurmountable red line. Trainers are expressly prohibited from being directly attacked by Pokémon, but the aftermath of skills released are not subject to this restriction. Trainers have to dodge on their own. If they can't dodge, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

Just like when Lucario used Rock Blockade just now, the huge rocks that fell one after another almost hit Li Ye, it was purely an "unintentional mistake".

At this moment, Charizard's target was clearly Swamp King, but Wang Qingping happened to be next to Swamp King and was caught in this dangerous vortex.

To be fair, if fighting alone, the Swamp King, with his excellent physical fitness and tenacious fighting spirit, is fully capable of withstanding the burning flames and forcing his way out of the vortex of fire.

But now trapped in the sea of ​​fire is not only the Swamp King himself, but also Wang Qingping who needs its full protection behind him.

The two were only a few inches apart. At this critical moment, if the Swamp King rashly used water skills to break through the vortex of fire, the violent water flow would most likely get out of control and backfire, splashing onto the unprotected Wang Qingping, causing him to be injured and in danger.

As a result, the situation instantly became extremely favorable for Li Ye.

At this moment, Lucario not only cannot get timely support from Swamp King to add help to the battle situation, but he has to always pay attention to the safety of Wang Qingping behind him. He is afraid of making a move and is inevitably restricted when performing his moves.

"Damn it! So that's what you were planning!"

Wang Qingping's mind raced, and he instantly realized Li Ye's plan. He was secretly annoyed, gritted his teeth, and shouted anxiously at the Swamp King:

"Swamp King, don't worry about me, rush out and help Lucario get rid of Charizard first!"

"road!"

When Lucario heard the order, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he raised his head and let out a low growl, revealing his reluctance.

"Wow!"

The Swamp King widened his eyes, shook his head like a rattle, and made anxious sounds from his mouth, as if protesting against this decision.

The two Pokémon were in tune with each other and stood firm, refusing to abandon Wang Qingping and escape from the dangerous vortex of fire alone.

Even though they knew that doing so would fall right into Li Ye's trap and put them in a passive position, they did not care at all.

"you……"

Wang Qingping looked at the determined looks of the two Pokémon, his eyes slightly reddened, and he was about to say something else.

"Charizard, charge forward, flaming fist!"

However, Li Ye did not give the other party any chance to discuss or catch his breath. He took advantage of the perfect opportunity when Lucario was in a burned state and his physical attack was halved to give orders without delay.

He knew very well that the battle situation was changing rapidly at this moment and there could be no delay. Since Lucario was hindered by the burns, the special attack skill became its reliance for subsequent counterattacks.

In order to break the deadlock, Li Ye made up his mind and decided to close the distance and turn the battle into close combat.

In this way, Lucario's physical attack weakness weakened by burning will be infinitely magnified.

Charizard can, with its excellent close combat skills, forcibly reverse the situation and bring it into a rhythm that is favorable to it.
