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

Chapter 1212: Just Do It

The first day of competition came to an end. China Team One and Team Two both advanced with a crushing momentum and encountered no rivals throughout the entire process.

Among the five rogue countries, except for the unlucky France Team 2 which had its mentality broken by Nguyen Tien Li's punch, the first and second teams of other countries also advanced to the next round without any suspense.

The traditional strong teams also performed brilliantly. Germany's operations were as steady as an old dog, and Japan's tactical coordination was smooth and flowing, and they all won the victory easily.

There were almost no upsets throughout the entire tournament, and the distinction between the strong and the weak was so clear that it was almost cruel.

"Onii-chan! I tried my best to cheer you on in today's game!"

Nanako stood on tiptoe, her little face flushed in the sunlight, her eyes sparkling as if filled with stars.

Yake raised his lips slightly, and gently rubbed his sister's soft hair with his slender fingers:

"Yes, I heard it. Thanks to Nanako's encouragement, the Blue Blade Demon was able to perform so well."

&34;Hey, Onii-chan!&34;

Nanako suddenly grabbed the corner of Yake's clothes and tilted her head with a confused expression.

&34;There is a question that I can't figure out - Onii-chan is obviously the king of the Dark type, so why is the main force the Fire + Ghost type Blue Blade Ghost? &34;

&34;Well...&34;

Jack stroked his chin as if thinking, and suddenly blinked, "Because it's handsome enough?"

&34;Meow~&34;

A lazy cat's meow interrupted their conversation.

Nanako felt something furry at her feet, and when she looked down she saw a little emerald green kitten curled up on her shoe and stretching.

"Wow! It's New Leaf! So cute!"

Nanako opened her arms excitedly to hug the little guy, but the little guy dodged nimbly and jumped to Jack's feet in the blink of an eye, wagging his tail proudly.

Under his sister's envious gaze, Yake bent down and held Xinye Miao in his arms.

The little guy immediately rubbed his head against his wrist affectionately, and the Unchanging Stone bell on his neck made a crisp sound.

"Is this Onii-chan's new companion?"

&34;Yeah.&34;

Yak poked the tip of New Leaf Cat's nose helplessly, "I was originally planning to wait for it to evolve into Magic Masked Cat, after all, Grass + Dark is very suitable for my team. But..."

Xinye let out a "meow" and clung to the Stone of Unchange with its little paws, its big red eyes filled with resistance.

"It seems that it likes the way it is now more." Yake chuckled and shook his head.

&34;Souga...&34;

Nanako held her face with both hands, but her eyes never left the proud little cat.

"But if you wear the Stone of Change, you can't evolve, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xinye Miao suddenly leaned out of Yak's arms and meowed at Nanako, with a proud expression as if saying: That's exactly what I want!

&34;Jack, it's time to go on stage.&34;

A cold voice cut through the air, and the brother and sister turned their heads at the same time.

Sakurai Mitsuki had stood in the shadow of the contestant passage without anyone noticing, her slender figure sharply outlined by the light.

She crossed her arms and her icy gaze pierced straight at me.

Yake's eyes flickered, and he suddenly stuffed Xinye Miao into Nanako's arms.

Just as the little guy was about to struggle, he was enveloped by the girl's surprising body temperature, and suddenly froze and dared not move.

&34;I'll leave it to Nanako for now.&34;

Yake flicked his sister's forehead with his finger, and glanced at the woman at the entrance of the passage, "After all, we have to deal with some dirty things next."

Nanako hugged Xinye Miao tightly, looking at the teacher who once betrayed her, her lips turned white from being bitten by her teeth.

She stopped looking at Sakurai Mizuki and bowed deeply, her hair falling to cover her dark eyes: "Onii-chan...you must win."

When the girl's figure disappeared at the end of the audience seats, the tenderness on Jack's lips froze instantly.

He glanced at Sakurai Mizuki, an undisguised sneer rolled out of his throat, and the wind he brought with him when he passed by was filled with chill.

Sakurai Mizuki's nails dug deep into her palms.

Ever since the shameful capture of China, the empire she had carefully built began to crumble.

The media called her the "broken demon sword", lawmakers openly questioned her qualifications as champions, and the Trainers Association even began to promote a new rule that "the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings is deemed to be the alternate champion".

And the instigator of all this is now walking towards the stadium amid the cheers of the audience.

If this continues, she will be replaced by Yak sooner or later.

Sakurai Mizuki tried to use her body to seduce Jack, just like she seduced those high-ranking officials and wealthy people, but Jack didn't even bother to look at her.

This dealt a heavy blow to Sakurai Mitsuki's self-confidence. From then on, the hostility between her and Ark became more and more obvious, and was getting close to a falling out.

The vicious Sakurai Mitsuki will not let Ark go.

"Ok?"

Yak watched Lin Yi walk onto the stage to draw a number and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Isn’t this the boy who was Lin Yi, the one who got so angry that he beat himself up because he put strawberries in his mapo tofu?

He was so young, almost the same age as his sister, and yet he became the candidate for the title? And he became the captain of the Huaxia Second Team?

Then, Yake's expression froze.

Lin Yi looked down at the number he had drawn, then turned to look at the groups on the big screen, the corners of his mouth twitching.

"This group is really 4M."

Group 4M: China Team - Neon Team .

……

In the contestant channel, the air seemed to freeze.

Cen Zhi leaned against the wall, his fingers unconsciously stroking the patterns on the surface of the Poké Ball, and smiled bitterly:

"It seems that the bye in the last game has completely drained our luck."

Xiao Yichen remained silent and sighed.

Indeed, if they were drawn against a team from a small country, even if the other side sent out four heavenly kings, they would still have a chance of winning. But this time——

Neon Team.

The top team in Asia, with four superstars of unfathomable strength and a ruthless champion.

Although their overall strength may be slightly inferior to that of China, it is like an insurmountable mountain for their young second team.

"Team One isn't having an easy time either,"

Xiao Yichen whispered, "They are facing Daiying's team. Those gentlemen are not easy to deal with."

The second round format is a five-choice, six-choice singles match, with two wins out of three.

In theory, we can adopt Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, but the problem is -

Even their superior horses might not be able to outrun the opponent's inferior horses.

In the contestant channel, Lin Yi's voice suddenly broke the silence -

&34;Hello,&34;

He turned around, his eyes blazing like knives under his black hair, "Hasn't this situation been anticipated?"

"Are you expecting to get byes all the way, or to play against weaker teams, and finally win the championship?"

He sneered, his eyes swept across the faces of each team member, "Do you want this kind of championship?"

&34;The captain is right!&34;

Lu Xinghui clenched his fists and said, "We have been training so hard until now, just to prove that the second team is not just a runner-up! As long as we implement the captain's tactics well, we will definitely..."

The end of her voice began to tremble.

Yun Shang suddenly reached out and patted Lu Xinghui's shoulder heavily.

"Xinghui is right, isn't it the Neon Team 34?"

The lights at the end of the aisle suddenly brightened, and the broadcast began urging the contestants to enter.

The five of them smiled at each other and shouted in unison:

&34;Just do it!&34;

(*Details Easter Egg*)

1. Lin Yi's scars echo the foreshadowing of the "special training" three months ago

2. Lu Xinghui's arm notes hint at his "humanoid tactical board" attributes

3. Yunchang's healing green light lays the foundation for the subsequent medic character setting

4. "Just do it" became the team's iconic slogan
