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

“Oh, that might have been taken by someone who was there.”

Lin Yi suddenly realized, with a hint of relief in his tone.

He noticed yesterday that many people around him were filming with their mobile phones, but he didn't expect that these videos would be uploaded to the school's official website so quickly.

"Someone else said that you want to take the exam to become a professional trainer?"

Several people exchanged glances and were silent for a moment.

Finally, it was Wang Yan, the president of the chess club, who spoke slowly. His voice was low and seemed a little helpless.

"How about you, Lin Yi, why don't you go to the Battle Club? It's a better place for you."

As soon as Wang Yan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire classroom suddenly became more subtle.

When Lin Yi heard this, his face was full of confusion, and a series of question marks seemed to appear in his head:

"???"

He really didn't understand why everyone suddenly said this. He was doing well in the chess club, so why was he suddenly suggested to join the battle club?

It can't be that these people couldn't drink better than me and they are holding a grudge against me, right?

"The resources of the Battle Club are beyond the reach of small clubs like ours. You've just entered school and you can fight the club's president to a draw, or even have the upper hand. If you join the Battle Club, points will definitely be allocated to you first. We..."

Wang Yan continued to explain, and his words revealed his worry and helplessness about the current situation of the society.

In his opinion, Lin Yi's outstanding fighting talent might be buried in the chess club, and he could get better development in the fighting club.

"Wait, what are points?"

Lin Yi interrupted Wang Yan with a confused look on his face.

He has not been at the Imperial University for long and does not fully understand some of the school's complex systems and rules.

"You didn't know it before, but it's a system of the Imperial University. You can get points by taking exams or doing practical activities. Points can be exchanged for Pokémon eggs, items, or even precious breeding resources on the official website."

Cai Xiaoya stepped forward and patiently explained, "Every month the school will give each club a certain amount of points. The Battle Club, Cultivation Club, and Research Club have the most points. If you want to become a professional trainer, these points will be very helpful to you."

She explained in detail the importance of the points system, trying to make Lin Yi understand the advantages of joining the Battle Club.

"But I'm already a professional trainer."

Lin Yi listened quietly to Cai Xiaoya's explanation. After a moment's silence, he slowly took out a certificate from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.

On the certificate, the words "Professional Trainer" are particularly eye-catching.

When the few people saw this proof, their mouths, which were originally still talking nonstop, suddenly opened wide. The expressions on their faces changed from confusion to shock, and a series of question marks appeared in their heads, just like Lin Yi just now:

"???"

"We don't even have the qualifications to take the exam to become a professional trainer, and you're already a professional trainer in your freshman year?"

One of them couldn't help but speak, with an amazement that was hard to conceal in his voice.

Lin Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a humble smile, and nodded gently, his tone calm but with a hint of pride:

"Well, I'm just letting you know that I may not be in school for the next while."

His eyes slowly swept over each member, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Where are you going?"

"Challenge the badge, and then participate in Huaxiameng."

"Huaxia Meng? The only international competition in China?"

Cai Xiaoya couldn't help but scream out in surprise, covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide open.

Everyone exclaimed in amazement, and the exclamations echoed in the classroom.

Everyone looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces gradually changed from initial surprise to admiration, and there was a bit more awe and worship in their eyes when they looked at Lin Yi.

"Yes."

Lin Yi nodded affirmatively again.

"It's a shame that you haven't been able to experience our club activities yet."

Cai Xiaoya lowered her head slightly, a trace of loss flashed across her face, and she murmured softly, with a hint of regret in her voice.

"Huh? Isn't it an activity or drinking?"

Lin Yi scratched his head in confusion, with a puzzled look on his face. The scene of everyone drinking at the previous club gathering emerged in his mind.

"No! We are in the chess club after all, so we must be playing chess! And I don't drink."

Cai Xiaoya waved her hands hurriedly, her cheeks slightly flushed, as if she was amused by Lin Yi's words, and also as if she felt a little embarrassed for being misunderstood.

"It's not that she can't drink, she just doesn't have a good drinking habit."

Wang Yan couldn't help but laugh and expose it, his face was filled with a cheerful smile, his eyes narrowed into a slit, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a mouthful of white teeth,

"When she drinks too much, she not only talks nonsense, but also rolls on the ground all the time. She hugs you and acts cute from time to time. She's very adorable."

As he said this, Wang Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Wang Yan!"

Cai Xiaoya's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple. She was embarrassed and annoyed. She waved her little fists and pretended to hit Wang Yan, but her eyes were full of smiles. Her coquettish look was very cute.

"Hehe, what do you mean by hugging and acting like a spoiled child? She only knows how to hug the president and act like a spoiled child."

Other members of the chess club also joined in the joke. Everyone was talking at the same time, and laughter echoed throughout the classroom. The atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant, as if the sadness of parting just now was dispelled by this joyful atmosphere.

What a great team...

Lin Yi looked at the people playing and smiled.

……

"Wow!!"

My sister cried even louder and louder, tears rolling down her cheeks like beads from a broken string, her little mouth opened wide and she let out sobbing cries.

But Manaphy stood on top of Lin Yi's head, its small body trembling with its laughter, showing off loudly.

"Ma Da~Ma Da~"

Look, I can go with Lin Yi, but you! Can’t! Hahaha——

"Alright, alright."

Lin Yi's face was full of black lines. He reached out and pulled Manaphy off his head, glaring at it helplessly.

Then, he turned around and looked at An Qing who was holding her sister. His expression became serious and he earnestly warned:

"I'm leaving now. You are not allowed to do any research until you recover!"

His eyes were full of worry, fearing that An Qing would not listen to his advice and secretly go off to do research again.

"Good good."

An Qing's face was full of smiles. She nodded repeatedly and responded very readily.

However, the slightly upturned corners of her mouth and the twinkling eyes revealed that she seemed to be planning something in her mind, and it was obvious that she had no good intentions.

Lin Yi naturally noticed his mother's thoughts. He turned to look at Lin Guochang and said solemnly, "You take good care of my mother."

Lin Guochang rolled his eyes at him, a helpless smile appeared on his face, then he made an OK gesture and said:

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Although he expressed some disdain, Lin Guochang understood his son's concerns and secretly made up his mind to look after An Qing.

"Wow wow-"

The younger sister was still crying. She stretched out her chubby little hands, trying hard to grab Lin Yi. Finally, her tiny fingers tightly grasped one of Lin Yi's fingers, and the tight grip was full of reluctance.

Lin Yi looked at his sister's cute and aggrieved look, and his heart warmed. He showed a gentle smile on his face, gently pinched his sister's face, and coaxed her: "Be good, wait for your brother to come back and bring you a gift."

"I want to go with you, too."

Ruan Yaoyao stood aside and said reluctantly.

"I'll just be away for a few days. I'll be back after I get my badge. And Yaoyao, you still have to go to class, right?"

Lin Yi said softly, reaching out to rub Ruan Yaoyao's little head. His movements were gentle, his eyes full of doting, trying to comfort this somewhat lost little girl.

"All right……"

Ruan Yaoyao sighed. Although she was still a little sad, she also knew that Lin Yi had his own things to do, so she could only accept it helplessly.

Lin Yi took one last deep look at his family, hiding his reluctance deep in his heart. He turned around with the Poké Ball in his pocket and walked into the taxi parked at the door.
