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

"..."

In the quiet principal's office, sunlight shines through the mottled window lattices and onto the quaint desk.

A hunchbacked, white-haired old woman was sitting at the table, staring solemnly at the teapot that had been overturned on the floor and the tea was spilling all over the place, and she was lost in deep thought.

"Did the teaching building shake just now? Could it be... an earthquake?!"

Grandma Jiangzi whispered to herself.

She quickly shook her head again.

This shouldn't be the case. If there were a meteorological disaster like an earthquake, the alarm system would definitely give an advance warning. How could there be no signs at all?

"Mother-in-law?!"

At this time, a girl with a ponytail hurried into the office.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the overturned tea set on the table, and worry suddenly welled up in her originally lively eyes.

She took a few steps forward, gently held Grandma Jiang Zi's hand, checked carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that Grandma Jiang Zi was not burned.

Then, she turned around and swiftly picked up the debris on the ground while asking with concern: "Mother-in-law, I'll make you another cup of tea later."

Granny Jiangzi looked at the busy figure of the ponytailed girl, a gentle and kind smile gradually appeared on her face, and she said softly:

"You should call me grandma, granddaughter-in-law."

The ponytail girl's hand movements suddenly stopped, and her originally fair cheeks instantly turned red, like the sunset in the sky.

She turned around slowly, and with a shy and tender voice, she called softly, "Grandma?"

"Hey! My good granddaughter-in-law."

Granny Jiangzi smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. She stretched out her hand and took the ponytail girl into her arms affectionately, and said with emotion,

"Xingzhu is so lucky to have married such a good wife."

"Grandma, he and I haven't talked about getting married yet..." The girl lowered her head slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito.

Granny Jiangzi's expression suddenly became serious, with a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, and she said:

"Did those people in the clan say something bad? Don't worry, as long as I am still here, those people won't dare to do anything wrong."

There were indeed many people in the Jiang family who were extremely dissatisfied with the ponytail girl marrying into the Jiang family. In their eyes, this girl had neither outstanding talent nor a strong background, and was not worthy of entering a prestigious family like the Jiang family.

However, as the leader of the Jiang family, Grandma Jiang Zi's attitude was extremely firm and clear.

Who are you flirting with? You say you don't deserve me, so I don't deserve you?

What a bullshit match between the two families, feudal and pedantic! These remnants of the old era should die in the old era!

If you push me too far, no matter who you are, you will have to be like those old stubborn people in the alliance. Either get out or go to jail!

"Mother-in-law, they don't have any."

The girl with ponytail waved her hand hastily and said softly,

"It's just that I haven't seen Xingzhu for many days. I miss him a little."

She lowered her head slightly, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes, her look full of the affection of a little girl.

"He and Ruoli are practicing in the spirit world."

Granny Jiangzi gently rubbed the ponytail girl's head, her eyes full of love, and her tone was gentle and coaxing.

"Be good, learn to be patient. The road of cultivation is long, and waiting is also a kind of growth."

The ponytail girl nodded obediently.

"By the way, the teaching building shook a little just now. Was it an earthquake?"

"That's why I came here. There was a fight on the playground, and the noise shook half of the school. I saw many classmates talking about it along the way. I came to see you because I was worried that something happened to you, grandma."

As the girl spoke, she sorted out the documents scattered on the ground and put them back on the table.

"Oh?"

A hint of curiosity suddenly emerged on Grandma Jiang Zi's originally calm face, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

The playground is made of special earthquake-resistant materials. To be able to create such a big noise under such circumstances, the strength of the two sides cannot be underestimated.

"Are they the young people who have just graduated? These little guys still love to have fun even after graduation."

Grandma Jiangzi guessed, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised with a hint of smile.

"No, both are students. One is the new president of the Battle Club, and the other is the son of King Lin." The girl replied.

"Lin Yi?"

Grandma Jiangzi was a little surprised, murmured to herself, and nodded slightly.

Grandma Jiang Zi was satisfied and recognized from the bottom of her heart for Lin Guochang, the young man who replaced her position as one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Like father, like son. Since he is Lin Guochang's son, it seems reasonable that he could cause such a big fuss during the battle.

"and many more?"

Granny Jiang Zi seemed to suddenly remember something, and pointed to a pile of documents on the table and said, "Go and have a look, are there any documents about Lin Yi? I remember seeing them a few days ago, but I can't remember where I put them."

"it is good."

The girl with the ponytail stood up, walked quickly to the table, picked up the document and looked through it carefully.

After a while, her hands stopped and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Found it. It's... the document for applying to become a professional trainer?"

She read it with some disbelief, her voice unconsciously rising a few notches.

A freshman applying to become a professional trainer? How is that possible?

You know, to take part in the professional trainer assessment, you need to gather three Pokémon above level 40. Can he really do it at such a young age?

"What's the date?"

"Tomorrow," the girl replied, her eyes full of confusion and shock.

"That's it..."

Granny Jiangzi seemed to be thinking about something, and she had already made up her mind.

"Granddaughter-in-law, help me to the playground."

……

"Rockfall!"

Lin Yi's voice was firm and powerful, and echoed clearly over the battlefield.

In an instant, more than a dozen huge rocks seemed to be grabbed from the sky by an invisible giant hand and fell from the sky with majestic momentum.

Each of these rocks was more than one person tall, and as they fell rapidly, they made a whirring sound as they rubbed against the air, and then smashed towards the Fire Lion in the field, as if they wanted to smash everything into powder.

The Flame Lion was caught off guard by the sudden attack. It wanted to dodge, but when it looked around, it found that the venue was full of potholes from the previous fierce battle and it could not find a safe place to stay.

In desperation, it could only pin its hopes on its own strength. It suddenly raised its head and let out a low roar from the depths of its throat.

Then, blazing flames spurted out of its mouth like a raging pillar of fire, colliding with the falling rocks with a loud bang.

"boom!"

There was a deafening bang, and the collision of flames and rocks produced a powerful impact force, which instantly caused a violent explosion.

Thick smoke and scattered rubble flew everywhere, and the hot air waves hit people's faces, causing the people watching around to subconsciously step back a few steps. Some even covered their faces with their hands for fear of being injured by the flying stones.

Don't ask why fire and rock explode together, the answer is Arceus!

The Flame Lion raised its head and stared at the sky. Its eyes flickered nervously in the reflection of the flames.

Only when it was sure that the last rock had been successfully blocked did it breathe a sigh of relief, and its tense body also relaxed a little.

However, before it could recover, the smoke produced by the explosion was suddenly dispersed by a powerful force.

The fossil pterosaur swooped down from the smoke like a meteor, so fast that people didn't have time to react.

"The divine bird attacks!"

Lin Yi gave another decisive order.

A layer of golden light suddenly appeared around the fossil pterosaur, and its body turned into a dazzling light, rushing towards the Flame Lion, leaving a faint golden trail in the air.

"Damn it, I can't hide anymore, so I'll just go crazy Volt!"

The president saw this and shouted loudly to Flame Lion.

When Flame Lion heard this, his entire body was instantly covered with crackling blue lightning, and the electric current jumped and flashed wildly through his fur.

It exerted force on its limbs, leaped with all its might, and rushed towards the fossil pterosaur.

One above and one below, two figures exuding a dangerous aura approached each other rapidly in mid-air, about to engage in a thrilling collision.

The air around seemed to be frozen by the tense atmosphere. The crowd that was originally watching had already been frightened by the fierce battle and hid twenty or thirty meters further away than before.

Their eyes widened as they stared at the two Pokémon in the field. They dared not breathe, and their breathing unconsciously stagnated. It was as if the whole world had stopped at this moment, and everyone was waiting for the moment that would decide the outcome.

At this critical moment, a purple-black figure suddenly appeared in the air between the two.
