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

"I'm so sorry! As a gym leader, I actually left my post during working hours. It's really wrong! This is all my fault, please don't blame me! !"

The girl took off her cap with a guilty look on her face, bowed deeply, and spoke loudly in a sincere and firm tone.

"Please, don't report me to the relevant authorities!!" Her voice was filled with tears and pleading.

"Chirp!"

The natural bird on the side seemed to sense its owner's nervousness and began to imitate the girl's movements.

It flapped its wings and flew to the side of the Metagross. Seeing that the big guy was standing there like a wooden man with no reaction, it stomped its feet in anger and kicked the Metagross' broad and flat head hard.

"Scandium!"

The Metagross was awakened by the sudden kick, and as if waking up from a dream, it quickly put on an appearance of admitting its mistake and accepting the punishment.

Lin Yi silently looked at the humble girl in front of him. After a moment of silence, he slowly moved his finger away from the phone screen.

"Actually, I didn't intend to report you. I just wanted to challenge the gym. Besides... well, let's not talk about it."

Lin Yi looked up and down thoughtfully at the girl's simple and even shabby clothes, then turned his head to look around. Looking at this dojo with simple decorations and a strong atmosphere of poverty, countless questions arose in his mind.

He clearly remembered that the income of a gym leader should be much higher than that of an ordinary person, but why was the scene before him so different from this?

And the girl in front of him, Lu Xinghui, not only has a cousin who is a superstar in the super power field, but the Lu family is also a well-known super power family in China.

Normally speaking, someone with such a strong background shouldn't fall to such a state!

Could it be that she is one of those rebellious girls who are often seen in urban novels? She has a quarrel with her family, so she leaves home in a fit of anger to pursue her dreams?

But this is just a guess after all. After all, this is someone else's family affair, and no matter how much you speculate, it will be futile.

"Um... where exactly are we going to hold the gym challenge?"

Ruan Yaoyao looked around carefully for a long time, but couldn't find a place in this slightly cramped gym that was big enough to fight, so she finally had to ask.

"Eh? Are you the daughter of that...that someone?"

Hearing the voice, Lu Xinghui straightened up and stared at Ruan Yaoyao with curiosity, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Yes, that's me."

Ruan Yaoyao seemed to recall something as well. She raised a smile and took the initiative to say hello.

"We met before at that banquet..."

"Oh oh oh! I remember now, you are the daughter of the humanoid Pokémon King!"

Ruan Yaoyao: “…”

"Puff--cough cough!"

Lin Yi couldn't help laughing out loud.

The human-shaped Pokémon King, this nickname is very vivid and descriptive.

Ruan Yaoyao glanced at her and retorted with a smile.

"Hello, cousin of the number one king who was forced to work overtime."

Lu Xinghui: "Huh?"

Now Lin Yi, who was just watching the show, was even happier.

"Let's get back to the topic. The gym challenge is here, but the rules are different from other gyms." Lu Xinghui said seriously.

Even though he was just criticized for no reason, Lu Xinghui didn't care too much.

"What's the difference?"

Lin Yi asked curiously. This gym was so unpopular that he couldn't find any relevant guides or information on the Internet. Faced with this unknown situation, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Lu Xinghui chuckled, rubbing his nose and proudly puffing out his plump chest.

"The biggest difference between our Xinghui Gym and other gyms is that the rules adopt a telepathic fighting method."

Lin Yi said bluntly: "Speak human language."

Looking at the impatience on Lin Yi's face and the confusion on Ruan Yaoyao's face, Lu Xinghui scratched his head and added an explanation.

"Well... to put it simply, the trainer cannot speak during the battle and must rely entirely on the Pokémon's own abilities and judgment to fight."

"hiss--"

Hearing this, Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao took a breath at the same time, and after looking at each other, they saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

This unique way of fighting undoubtedly brought them considerable challenges.

After all, in this world, although there are some people who focus on cultivating Pokémon's independent fighting ability, in most cases, trainers still use commands to guide Pokémon to fight.

It is indeed quite tricky to suddenly let Pokémon fight on their own without human command.

Tsk, although this method can be said to be novel, unique and distinctive, but such complicated and cumbersome rules are really a headache. No wonder this gym is deserted and deserted.

Normally, Pokémon will spontaneously choose to attack or dodge based on the actual situation, but all of this must be based on the premise of following the trainer's instructions.

For a long time, the training we have done has required Pokémon to obey orders absolutely. Now we want them to fight completely relying on their own strength. Is it really feasible?

"Well, it's okay to give it a try."

Lin Yi shook his head gently, as if trying to get rid of all the remaining distracting thoughts in his mind, and then asked.

"By the way, you don't even have a place dedicated to fighting here, so where should we go to decide the outcome?"

“It’s right here.”

Lu Xinghui clapped his hands, and the Metagross's eyes suddenly flashed with a blue light, and an endless supply of super-strong mental power surged out like a tide.

In an instant, the walls around began to undergo miraculous changes.

"Magic space?"

Lin Yi stared with his eyes wide open, staring at the pink-toned square walls around him, and a sense of astonishment and surprise surged in his heart.

"So the magic space can be used in this way?"

"That's natural!"

Lu Xinghui raised his chin, his face full of pride and complacency, and said proudly.

"This is the result of our long-term training. With this, we don't have to spend extra money to build and repair the battle field."

"So all this effort is just to save money? Uh, okay."

Lin Yi turned his head and his eyes fell on Ruan Yaoyao who was standing beside him. After the two looked at each other, he said:

"Who of us should go first? How about letting me go first?"

However, Ruan Yaoyao shook her head, stretched out a tender little hand, and suggested:

"Why don't we use rock-paper-scissors to decide? Best of three, whoever wins gets to start."

After saying this, she raised her little fist demonstratively.

Seeing this, Lin Yi frowned slightly, but a confident arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You can't beat me."

Ruan Yaoyao was naturally unwilling to be outdone, and immediately retorted:

"It hasn't even started yet, how do you know I can't win? You might be the one who loses miserably in the end!"

She widened her eyes and stared at Lin Yi, her eyes full of determination and unwillingness to accept.

"Okay, then I'll let you see my true strength."

Lin Yi smiled provocatively, and then continued: "This time I will use the stone."

As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and made a gesture of throwing out a stone.

Hearing this, Ruan Yaoyao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but Lin Yi didn't give her time to react at all, and quickly shouted:

"Are you ready? Rock-paper-scissors--"

"cloth!"

As the words fell, the two men attacked at the same time.

Lin Yi chose Stone, while Ruan Yaoyao chose Scissors.

"This……"

Ruan Yaoyao opened her mouth in surprise, obviously not expecting that she would lose the first game.

She stamped her feet in annoyance and muttered to herself: Could it be that he really guessed it right?

Seeing Ruan Yaoyao's distraught look, Lin Yi suddenly became excited, pretending to be heartbroken and covering his chest with his hands. He put on a look of deep pain on his face and asked loudly:

"Yaoyao, you actually don't believe me! I trust you so much, but you..." He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had suffered a huge blow.

Ruan Yaoyao was frightened and apologized quickly:

"Um... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Please give me another chance."

Seeing Ruan Yaoyao's sincere attitude, Lin Yi reluctantly agreed. After taking a deep breath, he shouted again:

"Okay, let's play another round, rock-paper-scissors--"

"cloth!"

This time, they stretched out their hands at the same time.

The outcome remained unchanged, Lin Yi chose Scissors, and Ruan Yaoyao chose Paper.

"???"

Ruan Yaoyao stared at her hands blankly, still unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.

She couldn't understand why she lost to Lin Yi twice in a row.

At this moment, her mind was blank and she had no idea how to deal with such a situation.

"thanks for your trust."

Lin Yi patted Ruan Yaoyao's shoulder and walked forward on his own, leaving Ruan Yaoyao alone in the wind.

Looking at Lin Yi's smug back, Ruan Yaoyao's eyes gradually turned from confusion to resentment.

I'm so stupid. I know my IQ is not as good as Lin Yi's, so why do I fall into his trap every time?

The one with an even more resentful look in his eyes was Lu Xinghui who was waiting.

So I'm also a part of your play, right?
