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

"Mutter!"

The Magikarp, which was originally lying quietly in the river, suddenly became restless, and its cries attracted Lin Yi's attention.

"What's wrong, Magikarp?" Lin Yi was attracted by the Magikarp's cry. He squatted down and asked his Pokémon softly.

Suddenly, Lin Yi seemed to have discovered something, and he exclaimed in surprise. He saw that the black scale on the Magikarp's abdomen seemed to be glowing, which surprised him.

The Magikarp turned around twice, as if thinking about something. Then, its dull eyes became firm, as if it had made a decision.

"Mutter!" Magikarp called out again, as if urging Lin Yi.

"Ask me to take out the energy cube? Why?" Although Lin Yi was confused, he still did as Magikarp asked. He took out the box containing the energy cube.

The Magikarp jumped out of the water and quickly swallowed up all the energy cubes in the box in Lin Yi's hand.

"Tsk!" Magikarp called out again, as if it wanted more.

Lin Yi hesitated: "More? This is already your daily meal intake..." He was about to refuse because overeating is not a good habit.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

[Additional task: Assist Magikarp to complete its evolution

Completion status: Unfinished

Mission Reward: Random Skill Learning Machine x1]

Evolution? At this level?

Lin Yi was very surprised. He knew that Magikarp usually needed to reach a certain level to evolve, but now Magikarp's behavior and this sudden task prompt made him realize that there might be a rare opportunity for evolution in front of them.

Lin Yi decided to trust Magikarp's intuition, and he continued to provide energy cubes while paying close attention to Magikarp's changes. He knew that this might be a critical moment in Magikarp's life, and he would do his best to support and assist it.

So he didn't say anything more and silently took out all the remaining energy cubes. Although there were few energy cubes left after the consumption in the past few days, Lin Yi knew that as a trainer, what he needed to do now was to fully support his Pokémon.

"Lin Yi, what are you doing? Having a picnic?" Ye Feng couldn't help but teasing when he saw Lin Yi's actions.

Lin Yi did not answer, but simply said: "Don't ask first, lend me the energy cube on you."

Although the three were somewhat puzzled, they had enough trust in Lin Yi, so they took out their own energy cubes.

Magikarp's appetite seemed to become abnormally strong. Like a bottomless pit, it swallowed all the energy cubes that it would be impossible for it to finish eating under normal circumstances.

Even the dragon-type energy cube that it had always disliked was not spared. This scene made the other Pokémon feel an inexplicable tension and anxiety.

"Stinky salted fish, at least leave some!" A Pokémon complained in his heart.

After eating all the energy cubes, Magikarp hesitated for a moment, and then made a move that shocked everyone - it took out Dragon Z hidden in its scales and stuffed it into its mouth.

When Lin Yi saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out.

Prodigal son! That thing is worth 350 million!

"Buzz!"

As Dragon Z swallowed it, Magikarp seemed to have finally reached a critical point, and its entire body began to emit a brilliant light of evolution.

"Ah?" Ruan Yaoyao widened her eyes and looked at everything happening in front of her in surprise.

"Doesn't Magikarp evolve at around level 20? But it's only level 12." Ruan Yaoyao felt very confused, because according to convention, Magikarp needs to reach a certain level before it can evolve, but the current situation obviously breaks this rule.

However, at this particular moment, Magikarp seems to have gained some special power that allows it to evolve ahead of time. This power may come from the mysterious energy of the Dragon Festival, or it may be related to the energy cube and Dragon Z that it swallowed. In any case, Magikarp's evolution has begun, and it will usher in a new stage in its life.

"Reggie?" Reggie Drago seemed to have noticed the abnormal situation here, and his eyes turned slightly, and then he flashed in front of Magikarp. Seeing this scene, Lin Yi signaled Zeraora not to act rashly, and he decided to quietly observe what would happen next.

Regidrago waved his arm gently, and a large amount of dragon energy began to be injected into the body of Magikarp. Normally, Magikarp should not be able to withstand such a huge amount of energy, but at this time, the black reverse scale on its abdomen was like a power bank, greedily absorbing this endless energy.

All the eyes on the scene were attracted by the Magikarp, and they witnessed this miraculous change. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone was waiting for the Magikarp to evolve.

Finally, after a period of accumulation, the Magikarp reached a saturated state of energy. The black scale shattered in an instant, like a beast breaking free from the shackles that bound it.

Magikarp is finally about to jump over the dragon gate.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Magikarp's body began to grow continuously, and its size expanded rapidly, eventually growing to several times its original size. The average height of Gyarados is about 7 to 8 meters, but at this time Magikarp's size has reached 10 meters and is still growing.

"Roar--" With a roar that shook the sky, the white light dissipated, and the former Magikarp was no longer there, replaced by a huge, fierce-looking Gyarados. It howled to the sky, announcing its arrival to the world.

"It has really evolved? And it estimates to be about 15 meters tall?" Ye Feng said in disbelief. He was shocked by the size of the Gyarados in front of him.

Lin Yi was also shocked, but unlike others, he was more concerned about the specific data of Gyarados.

Pokémon: Gyarados

Sex: male

Attribute: Water/Flying?

Level: 21

Ability: Intimidate

During this unusual evolution, Gyarados' level was forcibly raised from level 12 to level 21.

Although this situation is rare, it is reasonable. After all, Magikarp consumed a lot of energy blocks before evolving, including the rare Dragon Z, plus the special environment of the Dragon Festival and the strong support of Regidorago.

However, Lin Yi noticed the question mark in the attribute column, which confused him and he didn't understand what it meant.

Lin Yi realized that he might have just witnessed the birth of a very special Gyarados. This Gyarados was not only much larger than its peers, but it might also have unusual attributes.

"Roar!"

After venting his emotions, Gyarados turned his gaze to Lin Yi, and his expression gradually became unfriendly. Lin Yi's heart sank, he knew that Pokémon's personality might change after evolution, and it might even attack the trainer.

Gyarados is a Pokémon known for its brutality and strength. After its level increased so much at once, it was inevitable that it would become arrogant. Lin Yi began to worry whether this Gyarados would attack him.

Gyarados lowered his eyes and looked down at Lin Yi, with a trace of contempt in his eyes. He thought to himself, this trainer is so insignificant, why did he listen to him so much before, it's really ridiculous.

Gyarados thought that he was a noble dragon, how could he obey an insignificant human. Just as he was about to teach Lin Yi a lesson, he caught a glimpse of Ruan Yaoyao next to him.

"!!"

Gyarados' pupils suddenly trembled, as if struck by a bolt from the blue, and it stood there in a daze.

Gyarados was deeply impressed by the terrifying strength of Ruan Yaoyao, a seemingly weak human girl. It still remembered the scene in the villa where Ruan Yaoyao almost smashed its skull, and every time it recalled it, it would tremble involuntarily.

Gyarados didn't think it could withstand Ruan Yaoyao's full-strength attack, so it wisely chose to surrender.

“Roar…” Gyarados leaned down, its head almost touching the ground. Its two originally fierce vertical pupils were now filled with mist. It stared at Lin Yi eagerly, as if to say, “Look how honest I am. Do you think I would contradict you?”

Lin Yi looked at Gyarados's performance and felt a little confused. He felt as if he had missed some important information.

Gyarados comforted himself in his heart that this was not called giving in, this was called being a hero who knew the current situation.
