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

&34;A-choo!&34;

Lin Yi suddenly sneezed three times, causing Lu Xinghui beside him to turn his head nervously: "Captain, do you have a cold?"

Rubbing his itchy nose, Lin Yi looked towards the audience thoughtfully:

"It's okay, someone is probably talking about me."

Although he couldn't see the figure in the distant stands clearly, he seemed to be able to feel the familiar gaze.

&34;Focus on the game.&34;

Lin Yi shook his head, his fingers already pressing on the Poké Ball at his waist.

A red light flashed, and Gardevoir appeared gracefully, with her skirt moving without wind.

Twenty top teams from around the world, each consisting of five elite trainers.

Each of these one hundred trainers carries six Pokémon and is about to stage a thrilling real-life version of Battle Royale on this vast arena.

"Have you memorized all the rules?"

Lin Yi asked in a low voice, a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Although the rules had been repeatedly emphasized before the game, the complexity and intensity of the game still made people dare not be careless.

According to the rules, each trainer can only send out one Pokémon in each battle. Once a Pokémon is defeated, the trainer must quickly replace it with another Pokémon within thirty seconds to continue the battle.

Such exciting rules make the game full of variables and uncertainties.

Looking back at previous finals, it was common for a fierce battle to last an entire day, with both the players and their Pokémon experiencing tremendous pressure and fatigue.

Sometimes, the game would even last until late at night, and there would even be ridiculous scenes where trainers and Pokémon would both faint due to excessive hunger.

In order to prevent this from happening again, a four-hour time limit was set for this event.

When time runs out, the match is determined by how many Pokémon are left alive and how many are left.

This undoubtedly adds more tension and strategy to the game, because trainers not only have to consider how to defeat their opponents, but also have to arrange time and use Pokémon reasonably.

&34;Boom! !&34;

Before the whistle for the start of the game faded away, a deafening explosion was heard in the distance.

The blast waves even caused the rocks on this side to tremble slightly.

Cen Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the smoke and dust: "It's Team One over there..."

&34;Don't be distracted.&34;

Lin Yi lowered his voice and made a quick decision: "Retreat to the edge of the field first. Gardevoir, prepare to teleport—"

As soon as Gardevoir's eyes glowed blue, everyone felt a strange sense of stagnation.

The space twisted for a moment, but they remained where they were.

"How could it be..." Lin Yi's pupils suddenly shrank.

&34;Over there!&34;

Lu Xinghui's superpower warning made her raise her hand suddenly.

The venue is designed to simulate various natural environments, and they are currently in the mountains.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice—ten figures had occupied the commanding heights without them noticing, and were looking down at them from above.

The leading Meng Meng Shi had a strange pink light flashing in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had used synchronization interference to block the instant movement.

&34;Oh my, look who this is~&34;

Hannah played with the tassels of her champion cape, her hair gleaming in the sun.

Olaf stood beside her like an iron tower, with a cat-and-mouse smile on his face.

Germany's first and second teams!

It was no coincidence that the two teams were assigned to adjacent areas and were able to meet up so quickly.

Cold sweat broke out on Lin Yi's back.

The other party didn't even bother to do the most basic tactical disguise, it was obvious that they were coming for him.

There was a sudden commotion in the audience, and countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the battle situation on the big screen.

"Oh no! The Chinese team was surrounded by five teams!"

A young man wearing a baseball cap stood up suddenly, and the cheering stick in his hand was deformed.

The woman next to him bit her nails nervously: "Team Two is even worse off, running directly into two German teams... Isn't this such bad luck?"

The uncle in the front row waved his hands calmly and said, "Why are you panicking? Look at that kid Ruan Tianli, he's fighting three people at once and still smiling!"

The scene switched to a battlefield at the right moment, and Ruan Tianli's Blaziken was seen shuttling through the hail of bullets, accurately repelling an opponent with every move.

"But Team Two..." The female companion turned to the other split screen worriedly.

"Well, the second team is here to see the world."

A disapproving voice came from the back row, "As long as one team can hold on to the end, the championship will still be ours!"

These words expressed the thoughts of most of the audience.

Gradually, the crowd began to cheer again, but the sound was obviously directed at the team that was killing everyone.

The director also understood the atmosphere very well and simply shrunk the second team's picture to the corner of the screen.

"Shauna!"

Gardevoir sensed something and its body suddenly straightened up, and it flashed in front of Lin Yi.

In the blink of an eye, the space less than three meters away from Lin Yi suddenly twisted and cracked, leaving a hideous gap like a broken mirror.

A glowing dark demon stretched its upper body out from the void, and its bony arm went straight for Lin Yi's throat!

Gardevoir used its telekinesis to push Lin Yi back violently, and a pitch-black shadow ball instantly condensed between its hands.

The energy ball whizzed out and accurately hit the mask of the Night Demon, blasting it back into the crack.

But Lin Yi's pupils suddenly contracted: "Don't relax! Behind you - protection!"

Before Gardevoir could turn around, the space behind it was torn again.

The Night Demon reappeared like a ghost, and its skinny arms were within reach.

Gardevoir hurriedly mobilized energy to deploy a protective shield, but heard Hannah's cold voice like thunder:

&34;Seal! &34;

The pink light in Meng Mengshi’s eyes surged.

The protective shield that had not yet fully condensed around Gardevoir collapsed in an instant. It opened its eyes wide in astonishment and could only watch itself being dragged into the cold, alien space by the Night Spirit.

Just three seconds.

The battlefield seemed to be muted.

When the space cracked again, Gardevoir was thrown out like a puppet with its strings cut.

Its skirt was torn to pieces, and its once fair skin was covered with horrific scratches. It fell heavily to the ground with a heartbreaking thud.

&34;Gardeto loses the ability to fight!&34;

The referee's verdict awakened the stunned crowd.

"Xinghui! Use your super powers to help us retreat!"

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, took back the seriously injured Gardevoir, turned around and shouted at Lu Xinghui.

Lu Xinghui resisted the dizziness, quickly folded his hands, and a light blue light of superpower appeared in his eyes - but the next second, Meng Meng Eclipse's synchronization interference came again!

&34;Woo——!&34;

The severe pain from the backlash of her superpowers made Lu Xinghui fall to her knees in an instant. She covered her chest and coughed violently, with traces of blood seeping out from between her fingers.

&34;Starlight!&34;

Yun Shang hurriedly supported her, and the trembling in her palms made her heart tighten.

Cen Zhi clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh: "They have already studied us thoroughly..."

The sarcastic looks from the German players stabbed like knives.

At the beginning, they accurately blocked Gardevoir's teleportation and Lu Xinghui's superpowers, completely cutting off their retreat route - this was not an encounter at all, but a carefully planned hunt!

&34;Hahaha! Boscodora, heavy impact!&34;

Olaf laughed wildly and waved his hand to give orders.

The ground began to tremble, and a giant beast made of steel let out a deafening roar, and every step it took left cracked footprints on the rock.

Its huge body turned into a silver hurricane, crushing towards the people who had lost their way to retreat!
