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

"that……"

Tao Mengli's eyes wandered over Ruan Yaoyao, her eyes flickered, and her voice was a little uncertain as she spoke hesitantly:

"Um...Yaoyao, are you the captain of No. 1 Middle School?"

Her surprise was beyond words, and the confusion on her face was like a layer of light mist that was difficult to dissipate.

Ruan Yaoyao's eyes widened, and she looked back at Tao Mengli with dissatisfaction:

"Of course I am. Why do you look so incredulous?"

A feeling of depression welled up in her heart. Did she really not look like a captain?

She couldn't help but think of her mother Ruan Wen's equally unbelievable reaction when she called her just now.

"Yaoyao, did you threaten your teammates? Otherwise, how can you be the captain?"

Tao Mengli asked cautiously, her tone full of doubt.

"Really? I was able to become the captain because my teammates believed in my abilities and brains!"

Ruan Yaoyao's cheeks puffed up with anger, she put her hands on her hips, looking unhappy.

She felt that she had been greatly wronged because when she said she wanted to be captain, no one spoke up to stop her.

Doesn't that mean that she became the captain because she won the support of the others through her strength?

"...As for strength, I believe Yaoyao has the ability, but the brain..."

Tao Mengli took a look at the external brain next to Ruan Yaoyao and suddenly understood something.

She nodded in relief, showing her understanding.

If Lin Yi is there to help, then everything will make sense.

After deciding on the team leader, the old principal discussed and agreed on a lot of things. By the time they left the meeting room, it was almost time for lunch.

Afterwards, the leaders of the three schools asked their respective team leaders to negotiate spontaneously to see if some communication and cooperation could be achieved.

So Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao came here again without even eating.

Unexpectedly, the captain of the Imperial Capital team chose Tao Mengli.

The captain of the Magic City team is a boy wearing glasses and with a calm expression, who looks like a theoretical person.

"I didn't expect that Tao Mengli would become the captain."

Lin Yi sat on the chair and looked at the girl opposite him with some surprise.

He thought that the captain of the Imperial Capital team would choose between Zhuge An and Li Ye. After all, these two were the strongest in the Imperial Capital team.

"As for Zhuge An, although he is very powerful and has made rapid progress recently, he is..."

Tao Mengli glanced at Ruan Yaoyao intentionally or unintentionally, and did not continue speaking.

"Oh, I get it."

Lin Yi seemed to understand something and nodded.

Zhuge An's situation is somewhat similar to Ruan Yaoyao's. Although he is very strong, his brain and IQ...

Should I say he is unpredictable? Is he mentally illiterate? Or is he just a fool?

Such a question flashed through Lin Yi's mind, but he did not say it out loud. He just thought about it silently in his heart.

It is not surprising that Li Ye was not chosen. With his personality that makes him easily disliked by others (Li Ye: I am not disliked!), it is destined that Li Ye will not be the one chosen in similar situations.

On the contrary, if Li Ye became the captain, he would most likely be dissatisfied with the others and cause dissatisfaction.

Emmmmm, why do I feel like there are so many problem children?

"Should we try to fight each other to gain experience?"

The captain of the Magic City team at the side gently pushed his iconic black-framed glasses, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, and made a suggestion.

Lin Yi remembered that his name seemed to be Qu Zhi, and his initial Pokémon was Murkrow from Mischief-making, but he didn’t have a very deep impression of the others.

Tao Mengli was a little confused by Qu Zhi's words. She blinked and asked in confusion: "Don't we fight each other every day?"

Qu Zhi shook his head slightly and explained.

"I'm talking about a team battle of four. As for singles, everyone here is a good player, but the Little Phoenix Cup is not limited to singles."

Hearing this, Lin Yi and Tao Mengli couldn't help but start thinking.

Indeed, up to this point, they had not fought even a single team battle.

It is a bit similar to a doubles battle, but the team battle in the Little Phoenix Cup is 4 people on each side, and each sends out a Pokémon to fight the other side.

Until all the Pokémon of one side lose the ability to fight, or until the time is up, the side with more Pokémon that still have the ability to fight wins.

But unlike doubles and singles matches, team battles are more complicated and intense because there are more people involved.

Eh? That being said, it is not without merit.

At least under the cover of teammates, Gyarados can safely enhance the Dragon Dance.

He still loves Dragon Dance. (Mist)

"When will this discussion be over? I'm so hungry..."

Ruan Yaoyao was hungry and looked at Lin Yi and Tao Mengli pitifully, hoping that they would finish the discussion quickly.

She was aware of her own IQ and knew that she was not a person who could use her brain, so she chose to give up without hesitation.

She lay listlessly on the table, covering her flat belly with her hands and pouting her lips in grievance.

Hearing Ruan Yaoyao's complaints, Lin Yi touched her little hand distressedly and comforted her:

"It will be fine soon, just bear with me for a while."

However, at this moment, Lin Yi suddenly frowned, as if he remembered something important.

He slapped his head suddenly and said with sudden realization: "What the hell?! Not good!"

It turned out that he had forgotten that he had promised Lin Wan'er that he would bring her meals.

"Sorry, wait a moment."

Lin Yi hurriedly stood up, apologized to the two of them, ran to the corner, took out his mobile phone, quickly downloaded WeChat and logged into his account.

When Lin Yi saw the number of unread messages displayed in the chat box, he couldn't help but take a breath.

The red number 99+ in the chat history made him feel nervous, and he realized that he might have done something wrong.

Lin Yi quickly opened the dialog box with Lin Wan'er, only to see that it was full of inquiries and complaints from Lin Wan'er.

The most recent message was from an hour ago, and Lin Wan'er was still asking where her fried rice was.

Hiss - my cousin is so socially anxious, could it be that she stays in the office all the time and doesn’t dare to go out to buy food?

No, I can't, right? Even if you are socially anxious, you can break through yourself in this life-threatening situation.

Besides, Lin Wan'er is just socially anxious, not stupid.

She must have finished her meal long ago, and she kept sending messages to complain about Lin Yi's failure to keep an appointment...

Maybe?

His eyes widened and he replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was just busy and forgot."

However, there was no response from Lin Wan'er, and even the voice call from Lin Yi was silent.

Lin Yi's mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself, "It won't be so dramatic, right?"

He rushed out from the corner, walked quickly to those people, and said with a slightly embarrassed look:

"Um... I'm really sorry, I suddenly have something urgent to deal with, so I have to leave first. You can continue chatting. Regarding the next arrangements, Yaoyao, please discuss it with them."

After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry, leaving the few people looking at each other in confusion, completely bewildered.

"Ah? Let me discuss this?"

Ruan Yaoyao pointed at herself in astonishment, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Ruan Yaoyao forced a polite smile and made a gesture of invitation.

"Go on, don't worry about me."
