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

In a few days, Lin Guochang will go to the imperial capital to participate in the much-anticipated King of Kings competition.

By then, the only ones left at home were the pregnant An Qing and the weak female Gyarados who had just given birth.

Although there was a caring housekeeper at home to help take care of daily life, Lin Guochang still felt a little uneasy. After much thought, he decided to hire a nanny to take good care of him.

Coincidentally, when Ruan Wen was talking to her daughter Ruan Yaoyao on the phone, Ruan Yaoyao mentioned this matter inadvertently.

When Ruan Wen heard this, she immediately made the decision, thinking that she had nothing to do all day and had plenty of time, so wouldn't it be easy for her to take care of her in-laws and Gyarados?

So without saying a word, he packed his bags and rushed over. His efficiency was astonishing.

"My dad isn't here?"

Ruan Yaoyao moved lightly with lotus steps, her bright eyes full of doubts, and she couldn't help looking around.

His little head turned around and his eyes scanned back and forth several times, but he didn't see the familiar figure of Ruan Tianli. He immediately muttered softly in confusion.

Lin Guochang nodded slightly and explained calmly:

"He is busy preparing for the King of Kings Tournament in the capital. As you know, he is one of the Four Heavenly Kings after all, and he has a great reputation. The King of Kings Tournament is the top annual event in the Pokémon trainer circle, with a grand scale and attracting much attention.

This concerns the reputation and honor of the entire alliance, so we cannot afford to be careless at all. I must personally prepare for every detail with the other three of the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion. I really can't spare the time to come and see you off."

Ruan Yaoyao bit her lower lip lightly, and her slightly furrowed brows relaxed immediately. A look of realization appeared on her face, and she replied softly:

"That's it..."

There was a hint of loss in his tone, but he could not hide his understanding and consideration.

"Let's go, or we'll miss the plane."

Lin Yi looked down at the time on his wrist and reminded him.

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand to open the car door, and leaned sideways to protect Ruan Yaoyao. After she sat in the back seat of the taxi, he followed closely behind.

Lin Yi had something on his mind, full of thoughts about the unknown journey that was about to begin. He waved to his family and muttered in a low voice:

"There's nothing to say goodbye to. It's not like we won't see each other again in the future. If everything goes well and according to plan, I estimate I'll be back in half a month."

An Qing's eyes were filled with reluctance and her lips trembled slightly. She wanted to say a few more words of advice, but was blocked by Lin Yi's soothing eyes.

Ruan Wen gently comforted An Qing. The taxi started at the right time, slowly accelerated, and sped towards the airport.

The airport hall was crowded and noisy, with travelers in a hurry dragging luggage of all sizes, creating a busy scene.

Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao joined the crowd, looking hurried but orderly, and jogged all the way to check in and go through security.

The staff have seen many travelers traveling with Pokémons, and they skillfully pick up the special devices and easily place them on their Poké Balls.

The device was small and exquisite, and its appearance was like a mini shackle, with a cold and hard luster under the light.

"This is to prevent the Poké Ball from being accidentally touched during flight. If the Pokémon inside escapes, it will be a mess."

The staff member patiently explained and pointed at the simulation display screen. As soon as Snorlax's huge and lazy body appeared on the screen, the surrounding passengers looked frightened.

In another switch, the roaring whale king, whose figure was larger than an airplane and blocked out the sky, suddenly jumped out, causing the onlookers to gasp.

"After all, some Pokémon are so huge that if they were released, they wouldn't fit in the plane and there would definitely be accidents."

The staff member said half-jokingly, and added,

"If it's a small Pokémon, you can buy a ticket in advance and release it to ride together."

Lin Yi's eyes flashed, and he reached for his waist and lightly pressed the button on the Poké Ball. A ray of light flashed, and the small Riolu appeared.

The little guy was covered in fur, with his deep blue eyes full of curiosity. After landing, he looked around alertly, and after making sure it was safe, he jumped around Lin Yi happily.

Seeing this, Ruan Yaoyao also released the Scythe. As soon as it appeared, with its slender blade arms and a nimble body, it was surrounded by a sharp aura, attracting the attention of others.

The boarding announcement sounded melodiously, and the two found their seats and sat down in turn.

The plane's engine roared as it slowly left the runway. After the fuselage shook violently, it rose from the ground and plunged into the vast sky.

"Leorio!"

Riolu could no longer contain his excitement, and he quickly jumped onto his seat, holding onto the porthole with his little paws, and stared down at the earth with his round eyes wide open, which gradually shrank into tiny mottled dots.

Its shiny tail spun rapidly like a propeller, and it kept mumbling.

It turns out flying is so cool, no wonder Kabutops dreamed of evolving wings!

Lin Yi couldn't help laughing at the naive look. He raised his hand and flicked Riolu's little head, lowering his voice and joking:

"Riolu, calm down and don't disturb others."

Riolu's body suddenly stiffened, and then he realized that the eyes of the passengers around him were focused on him. There were curious children who opened their eyes wide and leaned forward to look, and there were puzzled travelers who frowned and looked at him.

The little fellow was so embarrassed that his ears drooped. He sat back in his seat silently, straightened his back seriously, and placed his hands neatly on his knees. He looked like a well-behaved primary school student who had been scolded by his teacher, which immediately attracted friendly laughter from those around him.

Ruan Yaoyao tilted her head to look at the Scythe beside her, which was silent and had a trembling blade arm. She reached out and gently placed her hand on its shoulder, and whispered to it in a comforting voice:

"Spy, don't be nervous. The magnetic field of this trip is strong. The time, the place and the people are all right. The evolution will definitely go smoothly!"

Scyther nodded slowly, his tense body relaxed a little, his blade-like arms stopped shaking violently, and a determined look flashed across his eyes.

A few hours of flight passed in a flash. The plane landed smoothly in the mountain city. The cabin door slowly opened, and a moist and warm breath filled with vigorous vitality blew in our faces, like a pair of gentle but powerful hands, gently brushing away the fatigue of the journey.

This climate was completely different from that in their hometown. The unique humidity in the mountain city seemed to wrap the air with a layer of soft wet cloth, but it was so strange that it suddenly lifted the spirits of Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao, and the fatigue of the journey was instantly dissipated by most of the time.

"Mountain City, Mountain City, it really lives up to its name."

Lin Yi looked into the distance and sighed softly. The city seemed to be carefully placed in a cradle by nature, with towering mountains rising from the ground around it, like a giant besieging a city, majestic and magnificent, gently embracing the prosperous city.

These silently standing mountains contain endless treasures and opportunities. Thanks to this unique geographical advantage, the mountain city's tourism and mining industries have flourished, like two high-speed trains running side by side, speeding forward.

Once you enter the mountain city, the scene is even more lively. Everywhere you look in the streets and alleys, you can see trainers with Pokémon, in groups of three or five, bustling about.

The reason for this is that a special magnetic field was recently detected in the mountains near the mountain city. The news spread like a whirlwind, quickly sweeping across the country, attracting countless trainers who have dreams and are eager to improve their Pokémon's strength.

Amid the surging crowds, battles are inevitable. After all, actual combat is the best way to test the results of training and stimulate the potential of Pokémon.

The people of the mountain city have a warlike blood in their bones, and their love for Pokémon battles is almost obsessive.

The public battle area on the street was unsurprisingly packed with cheers, commands, and the sounds of skill collisions resounding through the sky.
