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

"Here is your assessment certificate. Go line up at the door of the testing room."

Seeing Lin Yi's firm attitude, the receptionist stopped trying to persuade him and skillfully completed the formalities for him, handing him his ID card and temporary assessment certificate.

Lin Yi took the certificate, took a deep breath, endured the pain, and walked towards the testing room step by step.

It was just dawn, the sky was just beginning to turn pale, and the soft morning light was just beginning to shine on the earth, but the entire Trainer's Association was already bustling with activity and in full operation.

In the association hall, the lights were bright, and several professional trainers in neat uniforms were standing in front of the counter in high spirits, submitting their completed tasks in an orderly manner.

They stood tall, holding the Poké Balls on their waists, with confidence and pride on their faces, and their every move showed professionalism. Their skillful movements and calm demeanor all demonstrated their rich experience and outstanding abilities.

Around them, people who came for the assessment cast glances of envy and longing, staring closely at those professional trainers.

There was desire and admiration in these eyes, as if in their eyes, those professional trainers were the direction and goal of their future efforts.

At the other end of the association, a long line had already formed in front of the testing room.

The line was like a long winding dragon, extending to the corner of the hall.

Lin Yi's arrival instantly attracted a lot of people's attention.

In this team full of traces of time, those who come to take the assessment as professional trainers are basically over 40 years old.

In this industry, being able to become a professional trainer at the age of 30 is already one in a million, and is considered a genius and an outstanding person by everyone.

Even in the team, you can see many gray-haired old people.

The young figure of Lin Yi seemed out of place among them. His tall and straight figure and young and energetic face formed a sharp contrast with the people around him.

But Lin Yi didn't care about it. He frowned slightly, endured the pain in his ribs, silently held on to the wall, and stood obediently at the end of the line.

Lin Yi stood quietly in the line, trying to steady his breathing to ease the pain in his ribs.

At this moment, a rough voice suddenly came from the front, breaking his brief meditation.

"Boy, you didn't go the wrong way, did you?"

A bald man with a face full of flesh suddenly turned around, with a look of impatience and confusion on his face, staring straight at Lin Yi.

"This is the testing room for testing Pokémon levels in the professional trainer assessment. The new trainer test is on the second floor."

The bald man's voice was particularly loud in the noisy hall, attracting the attention of many people around him.

Lin Yi raised his eyes slightly, his expression calm, and responded calmly: "No, we are right, this is it."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, the bald man's brows instantly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He looked Lin Yi up and down, his eyes full of suspicion.

So young? In Baldy's opinion, there were very few young people who took the professional trainer assessment, not to mention that the young man in front of him was so immature.

He couldn't help but speculate secretly, could it be that this was some rich family's young master, who took advantage of his family's wealth to get a few high-level Pokémon and came here for entertainment?

Then, the bald man's eyes fell on the faint kiss mark on Lin Yi's neck, and he caught a glimpse of his hand that had been supporting his waist. A feeling of disdain suddenly surged in his heart. He snorted softly and turned away with a look of disgust on his face.

In his opinion, this guy probably just crawled out of the bed with a woman and rushed to take the test. With such little self-discipline and awareness, he still wants to be a professional trainer?

The bald man sneered in his heart. In his mind, one cannot become a professional trainer just by having money. It takes people who have gone through countless hardships and have real talents and strong strength to be qualified.

Lin Yi took in all of the bald man's reactions, but he was not angry at all.

He had never met this bald man before, and he was being speculated and looked down upon simply because of his age and appearance. There was really no need for him to make any excuses.

After more than ten minutes, several people including Lin Yi were called into the testing room.

The testing room is not large and simply furnished. There is only one large device occupying the center of the room. Two staff members are standing next to the device. They have serious expressions and focused eyes.

"Mr. Zou Wenjie, please come forward." One of the staff members spoke up.

The bald Zou Wenjie just now strode forward confidently. When passing by Lin Yi, he deliberately glanced at Lin Yi with a hint of provocation and disdain in his eyes.

Then, he took out three Poké Balls from his waist and handed them to the staff in a casual manner.

The staff took the Poké Balls and placed them one by one into the grooves of the device.

The device started running, making a slight humming sound, indicator lights flashing continuously, and rays of light moving through the interior of the device.

Another staff member stood by, staring at the display screen on the equipment, ready to record data at any time.

After a while, the equipment stopped running and the staff announced:

"Zou Wenjie, the Pokémon you possess are level 44 Kairos, level 41 Lizard King, and level 40 Iron Palm Warrior. You meet the requirements. Please proceed to the next assessment."

Having said that, he returned the Poké Ball to Zou Wenjie.

When Lin Yi heard the staff call out the name "Zou Wenjie", he couldn't help but look at the bald man in surprise.

Wenjie? This man in front of me, with a face full of flesh and a burly figure, who looks exactly like a bandit leader?

Lin Yi was puzzled. It was hard to associate this literary name with himself. The contrast between the name and his image was too great.

"Mr. Lin Yi, please come forward." The staff member's voice interrupted Lin Yi's thoughts.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and walked forward steadily.

When the two staff members took the Poké Ball he handed over, they looked at each other in surprise, their eyes full of confusion.

After all, in their experience, it is rare to see a young face like Lin Yi appear in the testing room for professional trainer assessments, and they have just seen an assessor like Zou Wenjie who is older and has a high Pokémon level.

Facing Lin Yi at this moment, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, such a young boy, can his Pokémon reach the standards of a professional trainer?

After confirming Lin Yi's information, the staff placed his Poké Balls into the grooves of the detection equipment one by one.

The equipment started to operate, making a slight humming sound, and the indicator light kept flashing, as if it was a tense countdown.

The atmosphere in the entire testing room froze in an instant. Everyone held their breath, staring at the device that would decide their fate.

"Lin Yi, the Pokémon you possess are level 43 Blazing Roaring Tiger, level 60 Fossilized Wyvern, and level 64 Gardevoir. You meet the requirements. Please proceed to the next assessment."

The staff member's voice broke the silence and instantly caused an uproar in the testing room.

The few people who came in with Lin Yi widened their eyes in shock, their mouths opened so wide that it seemed like an egg could fit in them, and all their eyes were directed at Lin Yi, their eyes full of disbelief, as if they were looking at a mysterious trainer from another world.

Bald Zou Wenjie was also so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. His face, which originally had a look of disdain, was now full of surprise.

He originally thought that Lin Yi only had a few Pokémon in the early 40s at most, and at most was just a rich second-generation who had a little money to play around with. But the data in front of him slapped him in the face, he actually had two level 60 Pokémon!

This level is quite impressive even among professional trainers, and it is not possible to consider becoming a candidate for the king even if there are a few more Pokémon above level 60.

Zou Wenjie secretly speculated in his heart that it seemed that this kid not only had a rich family, but also had considerable power, otherwise how could he cultivate such a high-level Pokémon.

Lin Yi stood there quietly, his expression calm, as if he had anticipated all this.

He took the Poké Ball handed to him by the staff, and amidst everyone's shocked gazes, his mind was extremely clear.

The only Pokémon he has above level 40 are Snarl, Gyarados, Gardevoir, and Pteranodon.

As for special beings like Zeraora, Ghoul, Xuwuid, and Manaphy, their levels cannot be detected by ordinary detection equipment at all.

Moreover, they have special identities and once they are taken out, they will inevitably cause countless troubles, so Lin Yi did not intend to let them participate in this assessment from the beginning.
