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

In the quiet corridor, beautiful paintings of Pokémon are hung on the walls, and soft lights pour down from the ceiling, illuminating the path under your feet.

Just as Lin Yi, the staff and the three bald men were moving forward steadily, "Ring, ring, ring--" an abrupt cell phone ringtone suddenly rang, breaking the silence.

The staff and the bald man subconsciously stopped and turned to look at Lin Yi at the same time.

Lin Yi was seen holding a mobile phone in his hand, his eyes fixed on the three words "Lao Bideng" displayed on the screen. His originally calm brows instantly wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川", and a hint of doubt and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

He said apologetically, "Sorry, I have to answer the phone."

"fine."

The staff responded with a smile, their expressions gentle and inclusive.

Lin Yi pressed the answer button and said, "Hello?"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Son, do you have time now?"

"What is it? I'm taking the professional trainer exam at the Trainer Association in the Imperial Capital. Didn't I tell you?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's not a big deal, wait until you finish the exam."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up with a "beep".

Lin Yi held up his phone, looking at the call ending interface on the screen with a bewildered look on his face, his mind full of question marks:

"???"

He took a deep breath, and suppressed the urge to block the call. He said to the staff and the bald man with a frown on his face, "Sorry, I'm late."

The staff member shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't care, and then continued to lead Lin Yi forward.

After a while, they came to a room.

The door of the room is made of dark wood and is carved with exquisite Pokémon patterns, exuding a simple and solemn atmosphere.

The staff pointed to the room and said, "This is where you will be tested. As for you, please follow me."

After saying that, he looked at the bald man and motioned him to follow him.

The bald man nodded at Lin Yi, then turned around and left with the staff.

Lin Yi looked at their departing backs until they disappeared at the end of the corridor, then he turned around, reached out for the door handle, and slowly pushed it open.

……

Lin Yi slowly stepped into the room, scanned the surrounding environment with sharp eyes, nodded thoughtfully, and whispered to himself:

"Knew it……"

A lush and verdant forest appeared before my eyes. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting tiny spots of light and forming patches of golden light and shadow.

In the forest, wild Pokémon are playing and fighting happily. Pikachu is jumping on the grass, Bulbasaur is lying leisurely under the shade of the trees, and Squirtle is chasing each other, splashing crystal water.

This vibrant picture makes you feel like you are in the real wild world.

However, Lin Yi knew in his heart that this was not the real wilderness.

After all, this is a room in a skyscraper, and it is incredible that such realistic natural scenes appear here.

As a professional trainer, the most common tasks are protecting designated targets, expelling crazy wild Pokémon, and fighting criminals.

If it were more than a decade ago, in the third stage of the professional trainer assessment, candidates would need to take on these three types of tasks personally and perform these challenging and dangerous tasks accompanied by experienced professional trainers.

Regardless of whether the task is ultimately completed successfully, the examiner will score the candidate based on their performance in the task.

However, this type of assessment involves great risks. After all, those vicious criminals and uncontrolled wild Pokémon will not show mercy just because this is an assessment, nor will they "let go" step by step.

Even with professional trainers accompanying them, accidents are difficult to avoid completely, and some candidates have even lost their precious lives.

This assessment method is undoubtedly a waste of talent. Therefore, with the great help of an outstanding Pokémon doctor, the Alliance launched a new assessment method after repeated research and experimentation.

Just like the scene in front of us, various realistic scenes are created through advanced virtual technology. In addition, the staff in the monitoring room strictly monitor and pay close attention to every detail in the assessment, almost eliminating all possible dangers.

Lin Yi walked to a big tree, stretched out his hand and gently tapped the trunk, feeling the touch from his fingertips, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Wow! Is this thing really virtual? It would be great if we could make a game using this technology."

Lin Yi shook his head slightly, temporarily putting aside his thoughts about using virtual technology in games, and looked up at the huge screen in the sky, which clearly displayed the content of the tasks for this assessment.

His eyes were focused on the screen, and he muttered to himself:

"Let me see. The first mission is... protecting the Pokemon from the Pokémon hunters? Is the forest the habitat of the Pokemon? Forget it, this is just a virtual one."

He knew very well that the most urgent task at the moment was to complete the assessment task, so he stopped worrying about these details and quickly took out the Poké Ball from his waist.

As the light of the Poké Ball bloomed, a majestic fossil pterosaur appeared before his eyes. It looked up to the sky and let out a powerful roar: "Roar!"

Lin Yi moved swiftly and jumped onto the broad back of the fossil pterosaur without hesitation, sitting firmly.

The fossil pterosaur spread its huge wings and flapped them vigorously, creating a gust of wind and quickly flew into the sky.

Lin Yi rode steadily on the back of the fossil pterosaur, overlooking the dense forest from above.

In the forest, the trees are lush and green, with branches and leaves intertwined, like a huge green net that covers everything.

The sunlight struggled to penetrate the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, making the forest seem even more mysterious.

Suddenly, a faint and desperate cry for help came from not far away.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yi immediately and decisively commanded the fossil pterosaur to fly rapidly towards the source of the sound.

A masked Pokémon hunter was holding a net bag, and the young Land Shark was trapped in the net, struggling hard. Its once lively eyes were now filled with fear and despair, and it made heartbreaking cries.

"What a primitive way to catch Pokémon. Can't you just use the Poké Ball to take it away?"

Lin Yi frowned and couldn't help but complain.

After all, he had seen the methods of Pokémon hunters several times before, and those methods were often more complicated and covert. In comparison, this simple and crude way of catching Pokémon seemed a bit ridiculous to him.

Or is this just the daily routine of a normal Pokémon hunter? For advanced hunters like Tang Chen and Hunter Z, their methods are completely different?

"stop!"

Lin Yi shouted loudly, and at the same time, the fossil pterosaur swooped down towards the Pokémon hunter like an arrow from a bow and a black lightning.

When the Pokémon hunter heard the roar, he subconsciously raised his head. When he saw Lin Yi and the fossil pterosaur appear before him like gods descending from heaven, a trace of panic flashed across his face.

But soon, he pretended to be calm, quickly took out the Poké Ball from his waist, and tried to make a final struggle.

"Kid, stop meddling in other people's business! I'm going to take this round land shark away today..."

The Pokémon hunter threatened viciously, but before he could finish his words, with a "buzz!", the fossil pterosaur swung its sharp claws at an extremely fast speed and grabbed him fiercely.

With a dull thud, the Pokémon hunter was instantly split in two, turning into a pile of flickering virtual data and disappearing without a trace.

"ah?!!"

In the monitoring room, several staff members were staring at the screen intently, closely following the progress of the assessment.

At this moment, they all stood up suddenly, each of them was stunned, with shock and confusion written all over their faces.

According to the assessment process they are familiar with, Lin Yi should have a fierce battle with the virtual hunter, then defeat the opponent with his own and Pokémon's strength, and then hand the opponent over to the alliance for processing, and then appease the frightened Sharknado, and finally usher in a happy ending.

But who would have thought that Lin Yi didn't even give the hunter a chance to release his Pokémon right from the start, and directly "clawed" the opponent? !
