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

"I see……"

Lin Yi stroked his chin with his slender fingers, his eyes fixed on the direction where the giant rock snake left, and muttered to himself.

In the past few days, the tranquility of the mountain city seemed to be disturbed by an invisible big hand. The reasons behind a series of abnormal phenomena gradually became clear in his mind.

For some unknown reason, a special magnetic field suddenly emerged out of nowhere in this mountain city. That magnetic field was like a powerful magnet, releasing mysterious and attractive waves, attracting forces from all sides.

Not only did trainers with the dream of evolving Pokémon come from all directions, but even the wild Pokémon seemed to have received the call of fate and followed the trail.

Take the giant onix for example, its evolutionary path has always been difficult and rugged, and its environmental conditions are extremely harsh.

Under normal circumstances, it not only has to find a place with a strong special magnetic field and use that mysterious power to straighten out the chaotic energy veins in the body, but also has to swallow sufficient quantities of pure metal in large gulps, allowing the hard ore to be polished in the stomach and transformed into a solid foundation for evolution.

Only in this way can we break through the shackles of race and achieve a leap in the level of life.

Otherwise, there is only the dangerous path left, which is a life-threatening one - diving into the darkness deep underground.

Under the scorching heat of the earth's core and the pressure of millions of pounds of rock, its huge and strong body is compressed inch by inch.

The process is beyond description. Every minute and every second, every inch of bone and every scale of the body seems to be placed on a rack and tortured. The pain is like a maggot in the tarsal bone, entangled tightly and never stopping.

The dawn of success is like a faint candlelight in the dark night. Many great rock snakes have been defeated and sunk into the sand, their souls dying underground.

It is precisely because of the sudden arrival of this special magnetic field that the mountain city has become an evolutionary "paradise" in the eyes of the Onix. During this period of time, they flocked to the city and their numbers increased exponentially.

With such a large number of rock snakes frequently moving back and forth underground, how could the geological structure withstand such a torrent of disturbances?

The originally stable and solid ground suddenly became fragile, like a dangerous building in the wind and rain, ready to collapse.

Lin Yi suddenly realized why Gardevoir was so anxious and rushed to move Guangmei's tombstone to a safe place.

That's because it's preparing for a rainy day, fearing that if it's not careful, drastic changes underground will disturb the peace of the deceased.

Today, when Scyther evolved, the extremely precious metal film that shone with the brilliant steel energy luster just appeared, as if a bright lamp was lit in the darkness, instantly attracting Onix that was thirsty for the steel energy.

The giant mantis has extremely keen perception and has long seen through the crisis hidden in the dark, which is why it is so extremely alert and acts as if facing a formidable enemy. All causes and effects are now clear.

"I really misunderstood you just now, Mantis."

Lin Yi's face was full of guilt. He nodded slightly and sincerely apologized to the giant mantis.

He thought of the tense scene just now and was filled with regret. He was extremely anxious at the time, full of doubts and nervousness, and almost made a big mistake.

To be honest, when Mantis and Ruan Yaoyao were confronting each other and the situation was about to break out, his hand had already unconsciously touched the Poké Ball hanging at his waist, his fingertips stroking the body of the ball, and he almost wanted to pull it out and let Zeraora appear in a flash to "calm" the dispute.

But now that he had calmed down and thought about it again, Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. His idea was really a bit absurd.

In his haste, he was so focused on thinking that the giant mantis was making an unreasonable provocation, but completely forgot the real disparity in strength between the two.

Even though the giant mantis had just completed its evolution and looked very majestic, if it really went head to head with Ruan Yaoyao, it would undoubtedly be like an egg hitting a rock.

If the giant mantis attacked Ruan Yaoyao rashly, at most she would just frown slightly and cry out in pain. She would just think of it as a small insect bite, no big deal.

However, if Ruan Yaoyao went all out and dealt a heavy blow to the giant mantis, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With Ruan Yaoyao's powerful strength that was enough to split mountains and rocks, a single punch from her would likely smash the giant mantis's muscles, which had just evolved and had not had time to stretch properly, to pieces in an instant.

Not to mention fighting back, the giant mantis probably wouldn't have the chance to make even the slightest sound in its life. It was "killed instantly" and became a tragedy in the history of evolution.

"Ring ring ring..."

The cell phone rang suddenly.

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, then reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone.

This phone is still new. The previous one was completely damaged in the battle with the man in sunglasses. In desperation, he could only find a mobile phone store on the street in the mountain city and buy this new one.

"Hey?"

Lin Yi pressed the answer button, listening to the voice on the other end of the phone while meeting Ruan Yaoyao's curious gaze. He nodded from time to time and responded briefly:

"understood."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and looked at Ruan Yaoyao.

"It was my dad who called. He said the King of Kings Tournament will officially kick off tomorrow, and asked if we want to go and watch him compete."

Lin Yi repeated the content of the phone call to Ruan Yaoyao.

Ruan Yaoyao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then raised her chin slightly and said:

"Anyway, Scyther has evolved successfully now, and I don't have anything else important to do. Why don't I just go back to the capital and avoid hanging around here?"

As she spoke, her bright eyes stared at Lin Yi without blinking, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Lin Yi lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement:

"Well, go back."

In fact, Lin Yi had originally planned to take Yaoyao to have fun in the mountain city for two days before returning after Scyther evolved.

The mountain city is so interesting. There are countless novelties hidden in the streets and alleys, and there are many special foods. I wanted to take her to try them all.

But who could have expected that I would be so busy with Ms. Guangmei's funeral arrangements these past two days that all those wonderful travel plans were ruined. Now I can only pack my bags and go home.

As for going to the Bermuda Triangle to find the whereabouts of the fairy tablet...

Ahem, since the alpaca is not urging us, it means that we are not in a hurry.

……

"Xiao Linzi, Sister Yaoyao, have you packed your luggage and are you planning to go back?"

Ye Feng saw Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao dragging suitcases from a distance, and walked up to them with curiosity on his face and asked.

"Well, the King of Kings competition my dad is participating in is about to start, we have to go back and take a look." Lin Yi nodded slightly and responded softly.

Ruan Yaoyao's gaze passed over Ye Feng and fell on Su Su who was standing quietly beside him. A hint of interest flashed in her eyes, and she asked:

"Xiao Su, I've been thinking about your pearl oyster. What has it evolved into?"

Su Su smiled lightly and explained patiently:

"It evolved into a Sakura Fish, which is super beautiful. But its condition seems to have fluctuated a little in the past two days. I was worried, so I sent it to the Pokémon Center for a comprehensive checkup. It's probably still there now."

Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully, looked around, then looked at Ye Feng and asked:

"By the way, where's Aunt Xu? Why can't I see her?"

Ye Feng shrugged helplessly, but with a smile on his face, he said:

"Don't you know? Xingzhu has taken Aunt Xu as his godmother and is very close to her. The Chinese New Year is just two days away, and Xingzhu is taking his girlfriend and Aunt Xu to the street to buy New Year's goods. The scene is so warm."

"So that's how it is. All right then."

Lin Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his head to look at Ruan Yaoyao, the two looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

Lin Yi then said to Ye Feng:

"We are leaving now. If you run into Aunt Xu and the others later, remember to tell them that we are leaving first and will come back to visit everyone after the New Year when we have time."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it! Have a safe trip, and remember to let me know when you get to the capital."

Ye Feng patted his chest and assured, his eyes full of sincere concern.

Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao agreed with a smile, dragged their luggage, turned around and walked towards the airport.
