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

At this moment, the audience has already gathered in the venue. They are waving national flags of various countries in their hands, cheering excitedly, and warming up for the upcoming fierce competition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the global league held every four years!"

The host stood on a shield-sword monster and floated in the center of the venue, shouting into the microphone.

With the uplifting music, each team entered the stadium.

"This scene is much bigger than Huaxia Meng."

In the audience, Ruan Yaoyao covered her ears because of the cheers from the audience and couldn't help muttering, "It's so noisy."

"Look, our Chinese team is here!" Mi Yu pointed excitedly at the exit of the venue and shouted with anticipation on his face.

Sure enough, a bright red team uniform fluttered over the venue like a ball of flame.

At the front of the team, Xia Nantian stood tall and majestic, and behind him followed the Four Heavenly Kings of China. Each of them held their heads high and exuded a powerful aura.

The enthusiasm of the Chinese people in the audience was instantly ignited. They waved the bright five-star red flag, held high various banners, and shouted loudly to cheer for their favorite players.

"Baby Wusong, mommy loves you!"

"King Ruan, kill them——"

"King Lin, we came here specially from Qinghai City, please don't let us down!"

"Liu Yu... Hehe, Liu Yu's legs are so long and white."

"Xia Nantian, Xia Nantian, the battle is in full swing, the southern expedition is setting sail, the sky is high and the land is vast, bravely climb to the top!"

Hmm, it seems like there's something strange mixed in.

Lin Guochang stood in the center of the stage, looking at the cheering audience below, and a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.

"How do you feel about participating in the global league for the first time?" Ruan Tianli beside him asked with a smile.

Lin Guochang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and replied, "Not bad."

Although his voice was calm, it contained excitement and nervousness that were difficult to conceal.

Immediately afterwards, the second team led by Lin Yi also took to the stage.

However, in stark contrast to the warm welcome received by the first team, the second team did not attract much attention.

The audience's attention was almost all focused on Team One, and they seemed a little indifferent to the arrival of Team Two.

However, this is also reasonable.

After all, the second team is far inferior to the first team in terms of strength and popularity.

In this world where the strong are king, people are always more easily attracted to those strong and radiant people.

At the same time, other teams in the venue were staring at the Chinese team with hostility and vigilance.

As the influence of the United States gradually declines, the Chinese team is now the only one in power and has become the biggest competitor of other teams.

When all the teams entered, some French spectators were suddenly surprised to find that their country had only two teams, while the team consisting of the champion and the four kings was nowhere to be found.

This unexpected discovery made them very confused and dissatisfied. They started to talk about it among themselves, and some even went directly to the organizer to ask for an explanation.

However, this did not affect the progress of the game.

According to the rules, the captain of each team needs to come forward to draw the number for the competition.

Lin Yi strode forward and reached out to pull out a piece of paper from the lottery box.

He unfolded it and saw "3A" clearly written on it.

Soon, the drawings for all teams were completed and the results were displayed faithfully on the big screen.

"Ok?"

Lin Yi suddenly uttered a puzzled sound, his eyes fixed on the big screen with an expression of surprise on his face.

According to the rules, if a team does not come to participate in the draw, their numbers will be assigned randomly.

And now, the 3B number displayed on the big screen, except for Lin Yi's team, is only the French team.

However, this is where the problem lies.

According to the previous game situation, the French team did not get out of the championship road at all, which meant that they were directly given a bye in the first round.

"what?!"

At this moment, the French B team and the audience at the scene all shouted in astonishment and dissatisfaction, shouting that this was a shady deal.

Lin Yi took a closer look and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

It turns out that the numbers of the French second team are exactly the same as those of the Chinese first team!

Since Team One failed to participate in the competition, Team Two had to face the Chinese Team One, which was recognized as the strongest.

Such a matchup arrangement is undoubtedly a nightmare for the French team II.

Tsk, how miserable.

Although some people at the scene expressed strong opposition to the result, the competition continued according to the established process.

……

"It doesn't matter. Even if we lose, we will let the whole world see the backbone of France!"

The captain of the French II team clenched his fists tightly, but his voice trembled uncontrollably.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his violently beating heart, but the cold sweat oozing from his forehead still exposed his inner despair.

&34;Captain, Captain...look!&34;

Following the trembling fingers of the team members, I saw Ruan Tianli walking towards the battle field alone with steady steps.

Every step he took seemed to be stepping on the heartbeat of the French players, and the bright red uniform looked particularly dazzling under the spotlight.

The entire stadium was boiling in an instant.

According to the competition system, the first round should have been a five-on-five team battle.

Each side sends five trainers to appear on the field at the same time, commanding their respective Pokémon to engage in a fierce battle until all Pokémon on one side lose their combat ability, or the side with the most Pokémon remaining within the specified time wins.

But at this moment, the Chinese team only sent out Ruan Tianli.

If any other team made such an arrangement, it would be regarded as arrogant.

But when this person was Ruan Tianli, the audience took it for granted.

The outcome is clear.

The faces of the French II team members turned pale instantly, and then turned red with shame and anger.

They were both furious at being looked down upon and at the same time so overawed by the man's terrifying strength that their legs went weak.

The leader bit his lower lip hard and tasted the rusty taste of blood.

However, the next second, Captain France's pupils suddenly contracted.

Ruan Tianli did release the Blaziken, but just asked it to stand back and wait. He twisted his neck, his knuckles cracking, and a dangerous arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Fear instantly swallowed up the anger.

Only then did he remember that the new rules allowed trainers to attack Pokémon directly, which meant... Ruan Tianli could do it himself.

Faced with this monster whose physical strength was comparable to that of a legendary Pokémon, Captain France felt a tightness in his chest and even breathing became difficult.

"Captain...how about...let's vote?"

A team member's voice trembled, his face pale, "There's no need... to fight against an opponent that we can't win at all..."

The captain opened his mouth and wanted to shout "There's no way we can win? I don't understand!" to boost morale, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

The gazes in the audience were like knives - some were mocking, some were sympathetic, and some even held up their phones, waiting to see the joke.

He clenched the Poké Ball tightly, digging his nails deep into his palm, and suddenly roared:

"Tell my dad I'm not a coward!!!"

Then he rushed forward like crazy.

"boom--!!"

Didn't last even a second.

Everyone only saw a shadow flash by, and the next second, Captain France flew back with the electric dragon in his arms, fell heavily to the ground, and slid several meters before stopping.

Ruan Tianli slowly retracted his fist, frowned and muttered:

"It's so annoying. I can't understand French at all."

Then he looked up at the remaining four people.

The four of them took a step back and shouted in unison:

“We abstain!!!”
