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

Lin Yi's face was full of fatigue, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, sliding down his cheeks to his chin. He shouted at the people around him with all his might:

"Everyone, my Pokémon is completely out of energy. There's really not a drop left!"

As he spoke, he swung his arm vigorously, pointing at the flaming roaring tiger that was slumped on the ground.

At this moment, the Fiery Roaring Tiger had completely lost its initial majesty. Its huge body lay limply on the ground, gasping for breath.

Only the occasional rise and fall of its belly proved that it still had a breath of air, and it looked miserable, as if it was "burned out".

Everyone looked over there and were all shocked. It was hard to imagine that this was the Pokémon that had just roared so domineeringly and shocked the entire audience.

Lin Yi secretly groaned in his heart, who could have expected this situation?

In a short period of time, the Blazing Roaring Tiger fought seven battles in a row!

Although it did have a glorious record of fighting seven games in a row when it was a flamingo, its opponents at that time were all rookies with no combat experience, with unfamiliar skills and low levels, which is completely different from the current situation.

The opponents here are stronger than each other, and their levels are at least level 30. They fight with fierce offensives and varied strategies.

What's even worse is that there was a professional trainer among them who suddenly sent out a level 40 nut dumbbell.

That guy's body was as hard as iron, and his skills were tricky and difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the fact that Nut Dumbbell was four times afraid of the fire attribute, the Blazing Roaring Tiger would have seized his weakness and attacked him with rounds of fire, almost suppressing him. I'm afraid this time he would have really suffered a big setback and would not have been able to recover.

After this battle, the Blazing Roaring Tiger's physical strength was naturally completely drained, with not a trace left.

Those who didn't get to fight Lin Yi had regrets written all over their faces. One of them stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Young man, do you have any other Pokémon? Look, your Blazeroar has been trained so well, with excellent combat skills and physical fitness. I think your other Pokémon are not weak either."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were fixed on Riolu in Lin Yi's arms.

The little fellow was hiding in Lin Yi's arms, quietly sticking his head out to observe the situation, and was suddenly locked in by these blazing gazes. He felt as if struck by lightning in an instant.

"Leo!"

It let out a short cry of surprise, its small body suddenly stiffened, its ears pressed tightly against its head, and its eyes were full of fear and vigilance.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took a step back, holding Riolu firmly behind him. With a serious expression, he said earnestly:

"My Riolu is still just a child. It was born not long ago. It has almost no combat experience and is physically weak. It can't withstand high-intensity combat at all. If I'm not careful, it might develop a disease that will affect its future growth."

But the man still didn't give up, frowned slightly, and continued to ask:

"Young man, do you have any other Pokémon..."

Lin Yi didn't even frown, his face didn't blush, and he just opened his mouth and lied to interrupt the other party:

"no!"

The tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

The other party stared at him suspiciously, and reluctantly asked again:

"Really do not have?"

Lin Yi raised his voice and repeated:

"no!"

Seeing this, the man shrugged helplessly.

The people around also shook their heads, full of regret, but they had no choice but to give up and gradually dispersed in twos and threes.

Ruan Yaoyao's eyes widened, her face full of shock and fear. She stood there for a long time before she came to her senses. She smacked her lips and sighed with a trembling voice:

"The mountain city is so scary..."

She raised her hand and patted her chest, trying to calm her pounding heart.

The scene just now could be described as a "crazy feast" of Pokémon battles. The enthusiastic crowd and the continuous battle invitations made the scene almost out of control, which made her, a trainer who was used to battle scenes, feel timid.

Recalling the chaotic scene, Ruan Yaoyao couldn't help but feel secretly thankful.

If it weren't for the huge noise made by Lin Yi, he would have attracted everyone else's attention like a giant magnet and drawn all the "combat firepower" over there.

With his cleverness, he made a prompt decision after defeating Sandslash and quickly put Scyther back into the Poké Ball before anyone could react.

I'm afraid that now I'm stuck in the endless quagmire of fighting and can't get out.

After all, the trainers around him all have fiery eyes and high fighting spirit. They are obviously fighting maniacs who will never let go of any opportunity. If they are really entangled with them, they will probably be exhausted.

At this moment, with a smile on her face and a friendly look on the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, the old lady who had previously fought with Ruan Yaoyao walked briskly towards the two of them and greeted them warmly:

"Girls, are you here in the mountain city to evolve Pokémon?"

Ruan Yaoyao's big watery eyes widened instantly when she heard this, full of surprise, and she blurted out subconsciously:

"Auntie, how did you know that?"

The aunt smiled brightly, waved her hand casually, and explained:

"Oh! The news about the Mountain City has spread among trainers recently. It is said that a special magnetic field has been detected. The news is like wings. Look, eight out of ten people who came to the Mountain City during this period came to evolve Pokémon. Besides,"

The old lady's eyes moved to the Poké Ball on Ruan Yaoyao's waist, with a look of certainty in her eyes.

"You have a majestic Scyther. It looks energetic and you can tell at a glance that it was carefully cultivated. Combined with the special situation in Shancheng, I would boldly guess that you must have come here to evolve the Scyther."

Ruan Yaoyao nodded continuously after hearing this, her lips curled up, revealing two shallow dimples, and she answered frankly:

"I do."

As he said this, he subconsciously touched the Poké Ball containing Scyther, his eyes full of expectation.

"Girls, have you found a place to live?"

The aunt asked casually, but her eyes were wandering over the two people's luggage.

"We were planning on going to the hotel."

Ruan Yaoyao answered truthfully, still thinking about getting to the hotel as soon as possible to rest and relieve the fatigue of the journey.

When the aunt heard this, her brows immediately wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character, and she waved her hands repeatedly, her tone suddenly rising:

"Why go there? It's expensive and not good..."

The look of disgust was as if the hotel was some kind of monster.

Ruan Yaoyao's body froze, a look of confusion on her face, and a series of question marks flashed through her head.

When traveling to a strange place, where else can you stay if not a hotel? Could it be that...

Her eyes flashed, and she asked cautiously with a hint of tentativeness:

"Auntie, are you running a B&B?"

"Yes."

The aunt readily admitted it, her smile growing wider.

……

The night was like thick ink, hanging heavily over the mountain city. Only a few faint rays of moonlight struggled to penetrate the clouds, casting mottled light and shadows.

The man was dressed in dark clothes, as if blending into the night. He was agile and squatted like a ghost on the high pole near the hotel. His sharp eyes were like those of a hawk, staring closely at the brightly lit hotel door below, muttering non-stop:

"What about people?!"

The voice had become slightly hoarse from long periods of lurking and endurance, revealing an anxiety that could not be concealed.

Even though it was late at night and the light was so dim that it was almost impossible to see clearly, the pair of sunglasses on the man's nose were still firmly fixed on.

The eyes behind the lenses are hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to detect any emotional fluctuations, which only adds a sense of mystery.

A heart bat was quietly floating beside him, with a faint purple glow all over its body. Its bat wings flapped gently, causing ripples in the air around it. Its scarlet eyes glanced around vigilantly, just like its trainer, in a state of high alert.

"I've been squatting here for hours!"

The man raised his hand and rubbed his sore neck, his tone full of irritation and impatience.

"Why haven't we seen them yet? Normally, when tourists come to a mountain city, the first thing they do is to find a hotel to stay in. But they haven't shown up yet. If they don't stay in a hotel, where else can they stay? A B&B?"

At this point, he paused for a moment, as if awakened by his own thoughts, and immediately shook his head in denial.

"Hmph, there are all kinds of B&Bs. It's hard to find one if you really want to stay in one..."

The man stroked his chin, lost in thought, trying to guess where Lin Yi and the other man were going. The eyes behind his sunglasses became increasingly deep and unfathomable.
