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

Under the cover of night, a fierce battle is taking place in a remote battlefield.

However, it was more like a sparring session than a battle, because the situation on the field was one-sided.

"Nonsense Tree, use Rock Slide!"

A student with a middle-parted hair was sweating profusely as he dealt with the tense situation.

"Confused!"

The wounded Nonsense Tree heard the trainer's instructions, and waved his arms with all his might, attracting rocks to fall from the sky in an attempt to make a final struggle.

Facing the enemy's dying counterattack, the dark-skinned energetic girl raised her pretty lips on her confident face and commanded calmly:

"Just rush over, Pidgeot, and Swallow Return to deal with it."

"Compare!"

With a clear cry, a huge bird with a bright red crest on its head flapped its wings, and a dazzling white light flashed behind it. It flew rapidly among the falling rocks like a highly skilled aerial stuntman.

In just a moment, the Pidgeot avoided the attack of the rocks with amazing speed and came in front of the Nonsense Tree.

Its feathers were still clean and flawless, without a speck of dust.

"boom!"

Under Hu Shuoshu's horrified gaze, the Pidgeot bird's wings flashed white as it smashed forward fiercely.

The blow was as fast as lightning and its power was shocking.

Hu Shuoshu was unable to dodge and was hit by the attack of the Pidgeot. His body began to shake and his eyes were full of helplessness.

It was already on its last legs, and now it can hardly withstand such a blow.

With this blow, Hu Shuoshu's stamina bar instantly bottomed out, circles began to appear around its eyes, and it finally fell to the ground powerlessly.

When the man with the middle part saw that his nonsense tree was defeated, there was no disappointment or anger on his face. Instead, he looked relieved.

He seemed to have anticipated this result. He knew that his ability was insufficient and his research had been eliminated, so it would be good to be able to help his classmates.

"As expected of the captain, this strength is really not exaggerated."

"Haha, I'm just lucky."

Ye Xiaomai chuckled, her voice as clear and sweet as a silver bell. She stretched out her white arms and let the Pidgeot land steadily on them.

"Lucky...lucky?"

The man with the middle-parted hair opened his eyes wide, looking at the Pidgeot in front of him, which was intact and leisurely combing its feathers. It didn't look like it had just been through a battle. His heart was filled with ripples and the expression on his face became weird.

You defeated my Nonsense Tree without taking any damage despite its reverse attributes, and you actually said it was because of luck?

Captain, can you be a little more measured when you speak like Versailles?

"Thank you so much for helping me train tonight."

Ye Xiaomai said sincerely, with gratitude in her eyes.

The middle-parted man shook his head gently, a humble smile on his face, and his voice was filled with a hint of ease and sincerity.

"Captain, don't say that. You are the pride of our team. You are the only player who made it to the finals. We all have high hopes for you. I hope you can continue to work hard and achieve even more brilliant results tomorrow!"

"Well, I will definitely try my best!"

Ye Xiaomai responded firmly, with a gleam in her eyes.

But then, Ye Xiaomai's tone suddenly changed, and her eyes turned to the man with the middle part.

"However, you should go back and treat the Hu Shuo tree first. It has worked hard today."

The man with the middle-parted hair was slightly stunned. He looked up at the sky which had already darkened completely, and then he realized that it was already late.

He asked curiously: "Captain, don't you plan to go back with us?"

"I..."

There was a hint of mystery in Ye Xiaomai's voice. She gently stroked the smooth feathers of the bird, but her eyes were fixed on the grass not far away, as if she was looking for something.

"I still have some things to deal with. You guys go back first."

Ye Xiaomai's voice was calm and firm, and her eyes revealed a subtle emotion.

"I see..."

The man with the middle-parted hair didn't notice anything strange about Ye Xiaomai. He just nodded to show his understanding.

"Well, Captain, you are busy, so we will go back first. Hu Shuoshu also needs a good rest."

The man with the middle-parted hair turned and left, while Ye Xiaomai stood there quietly, her eyes still fixed on the grass, as if waiting for some important moment to come.

The night wind blew gently, and something seemed to be trembling slightly in the grass. Ye Xiaomai's mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile.

While the two were talking, a slight rustling sound suddenly came from the grass that Ye Xiaomai was looking at, as if something was moving quietly in it.

"Oh shit, this speed and strength, don't even mention Pidgeot, I would believe it if you told me it was a small Pidgeot."

Jiang Nan looked at Ye Xiaomai's Pidgeot with astonishment, muttering to himself:

"You can fight without taking any damage despite having a reversed attribute. Are all of you school team captains so awesome?"

"And it even activated its lightning-fast acceleration without any clear command. Wow, what combat qualities and agility. Cool Leopard, look at it!"

Jiang Nan turned to Kubao who was standing beside him and said angrily, "I am a man who has failed to make it as far as I can."

"Meow!"

Cool Leopard just stared at the Pidgeot with disdain, as if he didn't appreciate Jiang Nan's praise. He let out a low growl to express his protest.

Jiang Nan ignored the angry expression of the purple cat beside him. He lowered his head and focused on the battle video he had just recorded on his phone. He marveled at it and sighed silently in his heart.

"This Ye Xiaomai is my opponent tomorrow..."

Jiang Nan muttered to himself, and when he told Xia Menghui about this, the other party sent him Ye Xiaomai's information.

Although he had detailed information, Jiang Nan knew that he was not a genius. He could not formulate corresponding tactics like Lin Yi with just a little data, nor could he have the ability to adapt to circumstances like Ruan Yaoyao and Ye Feng.

However, Jiang Nan knew that cold data could not fully cover all the ups and downs that trainers and their Pokémon had experienced.

Each Pokémon has a unique personality and characteristics that cannot be fully described by data.

Therefore, Jiang Nan decided to come and check the intelligence in person to gain a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding.

This decision ultimately proved to be the right one, because only by seeing it with his own eyes could he truly understand the other party's strength.

The intelligence said that Ye Xiaomai's Pidgeot was very fast, but it did not specify how fast it was.

At the same time, the intelligence did not mention that the power of the Pidgeot was equally strong.

If Jiang Nan relied solely on data analysis, he might underestimate his opponent's strength.

But through personal experience, he was able to feel the amazing speed and power of the Pidgeot.

"This is so tricky..."

Jiang Nan was thinking silently in his heart. He knew that tomorrow's game would be a difficult challenge.
