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

Lin Yi frowned, his mind and eyes were occupied by the mysterious Pokémon egg in front of him, and he was filled with doubts that were like a tangled mess and couldn't get away.

He stood straight in front of the thick glass, his eyes fixed on the egg in the incubator, as if he wanted to see through the egg with his eyes. He was completely stunned.

Just as I was racking my brains to think, I suddenly felt a force on my shoulder.

Lin Guochang raised his hand and gently patted his shoulder. Looking at his son's troubled expression, he could not help but advise him earnestly:

"Stop imagining it. What can you come up with just standing here and daydreaming? There are many profound ways to breed Pokémon. Many professional scholars have studied it for most of their lives and still dare not guarantee that they have mastered it all."

Lin Yi came back to his senses as if he had been electrocuted, and turned his head sharply to look at Lin Guochang:

"Dad, do you know why?"

Lin Guochang shrugged helplessly, shook his head at his son, and said bluntly:

"do not know."

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched slightly, and the hope in his heart was instantly shattered like bubbles. There was only silence on his face. After holding it in for a long time, he uttered an ellipsis:

"..."

Lin Guochang paused for a moment, then changed the subject. A thoughtful look appeared on his face, and he slowly said:

"But according to my experience with Pokémon over the years, even a Pokémon like Gyarados has a strong physique and a strong reproductive ability. Under normal circumstances, it should not give birth to only one baby at a time. I'm afraid there is something fishy going on here."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Lin Yi, a hint of testing flashed across his deep eyes, and he threw out a question:

"Lin Yi, in your opinion, which attribute of Pokémon has the lowest reproduction ability?"

Lin Yi was stunned by the question, but after a brief thought, he answered without hesitation:

"Dragon-type. Most dragon-type Pokémon are extremely powerful and rare. They are much more difficult to reproduce than other attributes. Their numbers are already scarce, and their reproductive ability is at the bottom among many attributes."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Lin Guochang nodded slightly to show his approval, and then his eyes focused on the mysterious giant egg in the maintenance device again. He raised his hand and pointed at it, then turned to look at Lin Yi with a little more inquiry in his eyes.

"Your Gyarados seems to be a little different from the normal Gyarados, right? The normal Gyarados is just a simple Water and Flying combination, but yours is a little special."

Lin Yi followed his father's gaze, nodded slightly, and responded:

“Well, a previous adventure on Dragon Island allowed it to evolve successfully, and its attributes also changed accordingly.

I actually don't know exactly what it has become, but I found in actual combat that it is obviously not afraid of electric skills. In the past, water and flying-type Gyarados were most afraid of electricity. "

Lin Guochang crossed his arms, narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke with a determined look on his face:

"That's right. Your Gyarados has been different since the Magikarp period. It was born with reverse scales, which is the iconic feature of dragon Pokémon. Coupled with the opportunity of Dragon Island later, it has truly mixed with dragon blood. Because of this, I have a bold guess..."

Having said this, he deliberately kept the topic in suspense and paused slightly.

Lin Yi really took the bait, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked impatiently:

"Dad, what's the guess? What does it mean if it's not Magikarp?"

As he spoke, he moved closer to the glass and stared at the egg, hoping to see some clues.

However, the embryo in the egg has not yet taken shape, and the system is unable to display its specific data, which makes me increasingly anxious.

Seeing this, Lin Guochang stopped keeping the secret and pointed his index finger in the air, saying firmly:

"I dare to assert that it is not Magikarp. It is very likely that it was born as a Gyarados, skipping the initial stage of Magikarp being weak and helpless. It has a strong dragon power as soon as it lands. And judging from its bloodline inheritance, it is very likely to have dragon attributes!"

Lin Yi's eyes widened in disbelief, his gaze shifting back and forth between his father and the mysterious Pokémon egg. It took him a long time to find his voice:

"Skip the Magikarp stage directly? Dad, this is too rare. I have never heard of a Pokémon that can skip the initial stage and be born in the final form."

Lin Guochang put his hands behind his back and stared at the egg through the glass. His eyes flashed with the calm light of a man who had experienced many things in life. He said slowly:

"There are so many different kinds of Pokémon in the world, and there are endless ways to evolve and reproduce. There are so many things we have never seen or heard of.

Take our two Gyarados for example, when special circumstances come together, there is no guarantee that something beyond common sense will happen. Your Gyarados has a special bloodline, and my Gyarados's physical fitness is also top-notch among its kind. It is normal for variables to appear when the two strong forces join together."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, thinking that what his father said was very true, but the doubts in his heart were still entangled like silk threads:

"Even if we skip the Magikarp stage and are born as a Gyarados with dragon attributes, wouldn't it be much more difficult to raise him later? The hatching environment and initial feeding, none of them can be ambiguous."

Thinking of the complicated affairs that would follow, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

“It’s tough for sure.”

Lin Guochang patted Lin Yi's shoulder, giving him a comforting touch.

"But we have plenty of resources and experience. As long as we study hard and take good care of it, there won't be any problems. Once this little guy hatches, we'll have to keep an eye on him for the first few days, observe his physical signs and habits, and develop a special breeding plan."

Lin Yi looked at Lin Guochang in surprise. He didn't expect that the usually unreliable middle-aged man would have such a side.

Lin Yi raised his head slightly, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with surprise. He was always laughing, occasionally a little silly, and seemed a little unreliable.

At this moment, my father was calm and wise, as if he had become a different person, exuding a reassuring aura.

Such a contrast made Lin Yi feel emotional. It turned out that his father had so many unknown sides, and at the critical moment, he was such a reliable backbone.

Lin Yi raised his eyes and called softly, "Dad."

"Ok?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Guochang turned his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked inquiringly.

Lin Yi pursed his lips slightly, straightened his back, and said seriously:

"Let Yaoyao and I take care of Gyarados. You should just focus on your work during this time."

Having said this, he paused, his eyes becoming more serious, and added:

"Next week or so will be the much-anticipated King of Kings Tournament. This is a crucial moment concerning honor and opportunity. You have to devote yourself to the preparation for the competition."

Lin Guochang waved his hand nonchalantly, raised the corner of his mouth, revealed a confident smile, and laughed heartily:

"What are you worried about? Are you afraid that your father, I, will lose?"

The tone was so relaxed that it seemed as if what he was about to attend was not a top-level competition with many experts and fierce competition, but an everyday competition that was easy for him.

If others heard what Lin Guochang said, they would surely be so shocked that their jaws would drop to the ground, their eyes would widen, and their faces would be filled with disbelief.

What level of competition is the King of Kings Tournament?

That is the dream-chasing stage that trainers across the country dream of and try their best to step onto. It is the only way to directly fight with the four heavenly kings with unfathomable strength and compete with them, and to charge towards the championship throne.

Carrying countless honors and expectations, the competitions over the years have attracted the attention of Pokémon fans from all over the country and even the world.

In the eyes of others, every contestant has gone through a lot of trials and tribulations, prepared for a long time, and is nervous and does not dare to take it lightly. Who would dare to make participating in the competition sound so easy like Lin Guochang?

If such remarks were heard by people who did not know the truth, they would inevitably be ridiculed and regarded as the person being ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and speaking nonsense.

However, those who know him know that Lin Guochang is not talking nonsense or exaggerating at this moment, and he deserves this confidence.

"besides……"

Lin Guochang narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze seemed to be meaningful, and he glanced at Lin Yi from the corner of his eye. He suddenly changed the subject, with a bit of sharp insight,

"Aren't you leaving? At this critical moment, where do you have the extra time and energy to take care of Gyarados?"
