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

"Emmmmmm..."

Lin Yi lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the navigation route displayed on the mobile phone screen. Then he slowly raised his head, his gaze fell on the small house in front of him, a look of disbelief and doubt on his face.

“Is this really a gym?” he muttered to himself, as if he couldn’t believe his eyes.

In the general impression of people, a dojo should be a magnificent and imposing building, not this small house in front of them that looks even smaller than a ramen restaurant.

For a city, a gym is not just a training place, it is more like a symbol of the city's spiritual outlook.

The gym leaders are like the spokespersons of the city, and their image and reputation are closely linked to the entire city.

Sometimes, in some big cities, the local gym leaders are even more famous than many popular stars.

For example, Lin Guochang, since he became the gym leader of Qinghai City, he has made full use of the magical power of Pokémon and successfully solved the extreme weather problems such as tsunamis and typhoons that have long plagued Qinghai City.

In addition, relying on his extremely strong personal strength, Lin Guochang has repeatedly brought to justice those poachers who wantonly captured Pokémon.

Not only that, he also often generously gives young trainers in Qinghai City the precious opportunity to go to the gym for further study, and he issues internship certificates.

Because of this, Lin Guochang won a very high prestige in the hearts of the people of Qinghai.

It can be said that in Qinghai City, it is normal if you are not familiar with the mayor, but it would be a bit strange if you have not heard of Lin Guochang.

This may sound a bit exaggerated, but in fact, many times what is truly exaggerated is not what people say, but the real reality.

As mentioned earlier, the gym is of great significance to a city and can be said to be a kind of iconic existence.

However, as the capital of China, the imperial capital has much more symbols than this.

Not only is there the Alliance Headquarters and the Trainer Association Headquarters, but also the powerful Four Heavenly Kings and Champions...

If we make a serious comparison, it would be difficult to include just one gym.

What's more, this gym named Xinghui is newly opened. Due to the lack of effective publicity, its low popularity is beyond imagination.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching and Ruan Yaoyao happened to see someone discussing the news that a new superpower gym had opened in the capital, and told Lin Yi about it, the two of them probably wouldn't have thought of coming to the capital at all.

"Although the popularity is indeed low, this is too shabby, isn't it?" Lin Yi couldn't help but slander in his heart.

This scale is not even as large as the training ground of Qinghai City Gym, so it shouldn't be difficult to obtain this medal... right?

well? wrong!

This mysterious gym is hidden at the end of a quiet and deep alley between the Pokémon Center and the hospital.

Although there were a lot of people outside, there was almost no one inside.

If this Xinghui Gym is really so unknown and unpopular, then why did Lin Yi have to spend several days to successfully make a reservation?

"Never mind. I'll think about it later."

Lin Yi decisively put his confusion aside, exchanged glances with Ruan Yaoyao beside him, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

“Dongdong——”

The knock on the door was crisp and loud, but like throwing a stone into the water, it did not cause the slightest ripple. The world behind the door remained quiet and silent.

“Is there no one here?”

Lin Yi couldn't help but frown, and looked down at his phone in confusion to confirm the time again.

"Today is indeed Tuesday, so it should be a normal working day. Moreover, this is indeed the gym's business hours as indicated on the website."

Just as the two of them looked at each other, Ruan Yaoyao shouted as if she had made a new discovery: "The door is not locked."

After saying that, she moved forward and gently pushed the door.

In an instant, there was a sound of a heavy object rubbing against the ground, and then the door burst open.

"Scandium, scandium gold?"

On the other side of the door, a giant golden monster with a metallic glow all over its body was staring at the door that was forced open with horror on its face.

You know, at this moment, its entire body was pressed tightly against the door, trying to prevent people outside from breaking in.

After all, considering that Metagross weighs 550 kilograms, it is simply a pipe dream for ordinary people to push this door.

So, what kind of terrifying monster is hiding on the other side of the door? Could it be Boskodora?

What should I do now? What should I do?

The giant golden monster was extremely anxious, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

Its four brains, like supercomputers, are running at high speed at this moment, trying hard to think of countermeasures.

The trainer had warned us many times before leaving that we should never open the door to strangers easily.

However, the current situation is that the other party pushed the door open without any explanation.

So, can this situation be considered as opening the door to a stranger?

"hiss--"

At this moment, a burning breath blew towards me.

Then, there was a "hissing" sound, and the Metagross's brain, which was comparable to a supercomputer, began to smoke...

"It's really dark in here, why don't you turn on the lights? Eh? This is..."

"Metallica? Does this gym use Pokémon to receive guests?"

As soon as the two came in through the gate, they saw the exhausted Metagross spinning in circles in a panic. Compared with other Metagross, it didn't seem very smart.

Pokémon the Movie: Metagross

Gender: Asexual

Attribute: Psychic / Steel

Level: 48

Feature: Immortal body

Level 48, just barely reaching the level of a gym owner.

The owner of the Starlight Gym is Lu Wusong's cousin, so she most likely knows how to use super powers to enhance the strength of her Pokémon.

Considering the inherent advantages of this giant golden monster as a quasi-god, its true combat ability may exceed its apparent level.

Lin Yi put away those careless thoughts in his mind, and asked the somewhat nervous Metagross in a low voice:

"Hello, we have an appointment to challenge the trainer of the gym. I wonder if the gym owner is here?"

"Scandium!"

The four claws of Metagross kept gesturing in the air, but everything in front of them was dark and the two men were completely unable to understand the meaning.

At this moment, Metagross seemed to suddenly have a flash of inspiration and rushed into the gym.

Not long after, the giant golden monster carefully picked up a sign with its two thick forelimbs, and then slowly flew in front of Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao.

Ruan Yaoyao took a closer look out of curiosity, and then, using the light from her phone, she read out the words on the sign:

"'I'm very sorry, if you see these words, it means that the gym leader is not here at the moment. She is out working to support her family'... What the hell?"

"You are already a museum owner, why do you still need to work part-time?"

Faced with the two people's questioning, Metagross desperately buried its head behind the sign, but it was completely unaware that the small sign could not hide its huge body at all, which looked ridiculous.

Uh...is this a shy or timid Metagross?

Lin Yi's mouth twitched.

The not-so-smart and timid Metagross, the gym owner who doesn't work during working hours and goes out to work part-time, this gym is truly full of hidden talents!
