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

(I feel like I haven’t been in a very good state of writing recently. I don’t know if it’s because I’m back to school. I only have time to update in the evening.)

……

Lin Yi lowered his head slightly, and his deep eyes slowly focused on the huge pool in front of him.

This pool is like a giant, crystal clear, pure and flawless sapphire, quietly and silently embedded in this vast space, exuding a fascinating charm.

This area of ​​water is vast and boundless, as if there is no end.

The sunlight shines on the sparkling surface of the pool, refracting mysterious and charming rays of light, like a colorful painting unfolding before people's eyes.

The calm water surface is like a mirror, clearly reflecting the sky and the surrounding scenery, which makes people intoxicated.

In this vast world of water, several floating boards of various shapes and sizes are scattered in an orderly manner.

These floats are like light and graceful fallen leaves, floating leisurely on the water and swaying gently with the breeze.

They seem to blend into the entire pool, forming a harmonious and beautiful picture.

Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself.

"This is much more impressive than the venue in my dad's gym."

Compared with the water venue in Lin Guochang's gym, the changes here are drastic.

The first thing that catches your eye is the vast expanse of space, which is much larger than the former, making you feel as if you are in a vast ocean.

At the same time, the originally densely distributed floats have now become sparse, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of maintaining balance on them.

At this moment, the water surface seems as calm as a mirror, but everyone knows that once the competition starts, the referee will start the underwater simulated wind and wave machine.

In an instant, the wind will howl, the waves will surge, and the entire venue will be covered by endless waves and whirlpools.

In such a harsh environment, it is not easy to stand steadily on the float. If you are not careful, you may fall into the water.

In fact, the venue in front of us is the most realistic simulation of natural scenes such as lakes and seas.

However, the venue inside the Qinghai City Gym is a carefully modified version designed to better test the challengers' abilities.

After all, if the venue is not adjusted, those Pokémon that are not water-type will probably find it difficult to engage in a fierce battle here.

After all, the original intention of challenging a gym is to test one's strength, not to deliberately make things difficult for them.

But the situation in the official competition of the Xiaofengwang Cup is completely different. The real venue is full of unknowns and variables for the contestants, and more often they need to rely on their own luck to deal with various emergencies.

Other types of venues might be easier to deal with, but if one is unlucky enough to draw a water venue and happens not to have cultivated any water-type Pokémon, then the player may face a nightmare battle.

Senyu also took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart, and raised his head with a smile.

Although the two of them usually have a harmonious relationship, they both know clearly that at this moment on the field, they can only win by giving their all.

Therefore, both sides are fully prepared and determined to give it their all and show their strongest strength.

Lin Yi shook his head slightly, as if trying to get rid of those disturbing thoughts, and then decisively stopped worrying about it.

He quickly took out a small and exquisite Poké Ball that emitted a mysterious glow from his pocket.

Since they were in a vast expanse of water at the moment, there was no place for people to stand around.

The referee quickly took out a Magneto and climbed onto its hard and cold body with extremely skillful and agile movements.

This self-destructing Magneto is covered with a thick metal shell, and from a distance it looks like a UFO spaceship from outer space.

Its scarlet eyes flashed with a heart-pounding light, as if containing endless power and wisdom.

After making sure that the referee was standing firmly, Magneto began to rise slowly and steadily, and finally arrived directly above the entire venue.

When the referee confirmed that both players were fully prepared, he waved his arms vigorously and shouted:

"The battle officially begins!"

Before he finished speaking, two clear and loud sounds were heard - "bang bang".

In an instant, two dazzling flashes suddenly burst out, reflecting the originally calm water surface with sparkling light.

When the light faded, everyone could finally see clearly that it was two huge and powerful Pokémon that appeared above the rough water.

One of them was the Octopus Bucket that Lin Yi had expected Senyu to send out, and the other one, as expected, was the only water-type Pokémon in Lin Yi's hand, Gyarados.

Obviously, for this fierce battle that is about to begin, choosing to send Pokémon that are not water-type to participate in such a special water field will undoubtedly involve taking huge risks.

Because of this, neither Lin Yi nor Sen Yu dared to take the risk to try this possibility easily.

Therefore, it is reasonable for them to make such tactical arrangements.

This is not the first confrontation between Gyarados and Octopus Bucket. As early as the previous training camp at the Bird's Nest, Lin Yi and Mori Yu had experienced a fierce doubles duel under the careful planning of Xia Menghui.

Looking back at the outcome of that fierce battle, Lin Yi had a slight advantage.

At this moment, the referee held the remote control tightly in his hand and pressed one of the buttons without hesitation.

"drop--"

With a crisp sound, the mechanical equipment hidden deep under the water started running immediately.

The originally calm and mirror-smooth water surface turned out to be as unpredictable as a real boundless ocean. Sometimes it was as quiet as a sleeping beast, and sometimes it was as turbulent as raging waves. Its emotional changes were unpredictable.

"Roar--"

Gyarados didn't care about the changes in the surrounding environment, but roared at the octopus barrel.

Intimidate, initiate.

Octopus Bucket narrowed his glasses and made no other movements.

At this moment, two shouts rang out almost simultaneously: “Dragon Dance!” and “Black Mist!”

As soon as Lin Yifu heard the order given by Senyu, an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

After receiving the command, Gyarados reacted extremely quickly and immediately began to twist its huge and slender body at an astonishing speed. The powerful aura emanating from its body also rose steadily.

On the other hand, the Octopus Barrel was staring at the Gyarados dancing in front of it, and a cunning look suddenly flashed across its eyes.

Then, it deftly waved its soft yet powerful tentacles, and endless ice energy gushed out like a torrent.

Not long after, a ball of extremely thick black fog slowly rose up, and quickly spread, eventually completely covering the entire area.
