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

"Pfft!"

A loud noise broke the originally quiet atmosphere. Lin Yi felt dizzy. In the blink of an eye, he, the majestic Blazing Roaring Tiger beside him, and the agile Gyarados suddenly appeared above a lake as clear as a mirror.

Before they could react, gravity swept them and they fell straight into the lake, splashing huge water, and the cold lake water swallowed them in an instant.

"What the hell is this doing to me?"

Lin Yi's heart was filled with turbulent waves, and his heart and eyes were full of disbelief.

He was originally working with Ruan Yaoyao and Mi Yu to chase after Wang Qingping who was fleeing in panic along the predetermined route.

But who could have thought that something unexpected would happen, and halfway through the journey they heard the radio broadcast an announcement that Wang Qingping and Li Ye were eliminated almost at the same time.

Lin Yi calmed himself down and quickly considered the current situation in his mind.

Judging from the current situation, there should be seven people left on the field.

There are three people in my camp: myself, Ruan Yaoyao, and Mi Yu.

The remaining four people are Zhuge An, brother and sister Li Zeyang and Li Xiyue - and another girl, Liu Meiqi.

Liu Meiqi can be regarded as a dark horse in this tournament. Although she is the only unseeded player, she has overcome all obstacles and successfully entered the quarterfinals. She should not be underestimated.

It seemed as if fate had deliberately arranged this encounter. Just as he had sorted out the situation, he ran into Liu Meiqi.

The three of them looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they reached a tacit understanding in an instant - to attack Liu Meiqi directly.

After all, it is now the final stage of the competition. The longer we delay, the more variables there will be. What's more, it is a three-on-one situation and the advantage is obvious. There is really no need to look back and forth or think too much.

In this ever-changing arena, the best strategy is to seize the opportunity and make quick decisions.

But don't underestimate Liu Meiqi. She was able to overcome all obstacles and enter the quarterfinals, and it was not just luck that helped her.

The playing field was like a battlefield, changing rapidly. When Lin Yi and the other two saw Liu Meiqi, they took decisive action. As a capable general under Liu Meiqi's command, Caterpillar was instantly locked on by them and became the target of concentrated fire.

The three of them attacked fiercely and coordinated seamlessly. In the blink of an eye, Growlithe could not withstand it anymore. It let out a miserable howl and fell to the ground, and was eliminated.

However, Liu Meiqi's cards would not be revealed so easily.

The round and seemingly cute Jili Egg beside her now became an insurmountable obstacle for Lin Yi and the other two.

This lucky egg has three unique skills: "laying eggs", "becoming smaller" and "highly poisonous". It has everything from blood recovery, dodging and continuous blood loss. The three skills are linked together to form an almost unsolvable defense and counterattack system, which disrupted the offensive rhythm of the three people.

For a moment, even though Lin Yi's side continued to attack, he could only sigh and look at the egg, unable to do anything with it.

When the battle was at a stalemate, something unexpected happened!

Without any warning, Lin Yi felt that his whole body was suddenly tightly wrapped by a mysterious force, which was like an invisible giant net, impenetrable.

Then, the light and shadows changed before his eyes, the sky spun, and when he came to his senses, he was already above this unfamiliar lake with Blazing Tiger and Gyarados, and then fell into the cold water.

Lin Yi was startled, and a similar memory flashed through his mind.

When working with Li Ye before, Li Xiyue commanded Kirlia to use instant teleportation in this way, and before she could react, she was moved to another place.

"Could it be that these two brothers and sisters are behind this again?"

Lin Yi was filled with doubts.

"By teleporting me away alone, are you trying to defeat the three of us one by one and disintegrate us one by one?"

Thinking of this, cold sweat quietly seeped out from his forehead.

But the situation was so critical that he couldn't afford to think too much.

The cold lake water poured into his mouth and nose. The intense feeling of suffocation came like a surging tide, wave after wave, instantly confusing his thoughts.

Lin Yi paddled hard with his limbs. His survival instinct forced him to put aside his doubts and fight the drowning crisis with all his strength.

As a child who grew up by the sea, the surging and changing nature of the sea has long been engraved in Lin Yi's bones. The countless times he fought and played with the waves in his childhood made him feel a familiar courage and fortitude when facing the sudden drowning.

Lin Yi suppressed the panic in his heart, quickly held his breath and concentrated, and moved his limbs rhythmically and powerfully.

But in a moment, he quickly surfaced.

"Roar!"

A powerful roar broke the tranquility of the lake. It turned out that the water-type Gyarados appeared in time.

As the overlord of the water, the small incident of falling into the lake did not frighten it at all. It was just that it was mysteriously teleported without any warning, which made it look a little surprised.

Now that it calmed down, it immediately swam its huge body towards Lin Yi anxiously, fearing that something bad might happen to its trainer.

"I'm fine, go save the Blazing Roaring Tiger."

Lin Yi waved at Gyarados and decisively refused the rescue.

After saying this, he looked straight ahead with a sharp gaze not far away, where there was quite a commotion.

“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

I saw the Fiery Roaring Tiger struggling violently in the water. As a fire elf, it looked like a majestic big cat. It was usually very powerful on land, but when it encountered water, it was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, with only fear in its heart and eyes.

It screamed at the top of its lungs and struggled wildly with its hands and feet, each movement showing extreme panic.

Little did he know that the more he struggled out of control, the faster he would sink, and his strength would quickly disappear like sand in an hourglass.

Upon hearing this, Gyarados rolled his copper-bell-sized eyes, and after confirming that Lin Yi was indeed not in danger of drowning, he twisted his huge body and turned around in an instant, splashing a large amount of water, and swam hard towards the Fiery Roaring Tiger.

It knew very well that the situation was critical and speed was of the essence, so it had to get the water-fearing "big cat" ashore as soon as possible.

“Kaaaah…Kaaaah…”

The low and somewhat miserable cry echoed slowly along the quiet lake shore.

The Fiery Roaring Tiger now had none of its former majesty. It collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, spitting out water in big gulps. Its wet hair stuck to its body, and the water droplets rolled down, splashing a small piece of mud.

Its chest heaved violently, its eyes were filled with lingering fear, and its mind kept flashing back to the scene of its almost desperate struggle in the water. It truly felt that it almost died.

"roar~"

Gyarados on the side saw its miserable appearance, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and his huge eyes showed undisguised disdain as he glanced over.

What a useless guy.

In Gyarados's eyes, it was just a matter of falling into the water. Why was he so panicked? He was a typical "small fry".

"Crack!"

How could Blazing Roaring Tiger stand such contempt? Its fur instantly stood up, and its wet fur stood on end. It widened its eyes like copper bells and roared at Gyarados in dissatisfaction, as if it was challenging him from a distance:

You are talking without any pain in your back! You are a water element, water is your territory, falling into the water is like going home. I am a fire element, fire is my territory, let me ask you to roll in a blazing fire, I guarantee you will be more embarrassed than me! Stop making sarcastic remarks here.

As it barked, it shook off the water droplets on its body, as if it wanted to get rid of the bad luck that had just come.
