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

"Um, Nissan..."

"Humph?"

Nanako bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Yak. As soon as she opened her mouth, it seemed as if some sensitive switch was touched. Yak raised his eyebrows slightly and let out a short hum from his nose.

Nanako's heart tightened, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face. Then she changed her words, and her voice unconsciously softened a little:

“…Onii-chan.”

"what's up?"

Yake tilted his head slightly and looked at her with a questioning look.

"I'm just curious, if you and Grandma Jiangzi were to compete against each other, who would be better?" Nanako blinked, her eyes full of inquiry.

Upon hearing this, Yake's thick eyebrows raised visibly, his eyes full of surprise: "Huh? Why are you suddenly interested in this?"

Nanako nodded slightly, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes, and explained softly:

"I've heard before that China's Four Heavenly Kings are extremely powerful. There are even rumors that their strength is not inferior to the champions of other countries. I have been wondering in my heart, is this... true?"

"it is true."

Yake answered decisively, and after a pause, he spoke slowly again, his tone neither hurried nor slow, but revealing an unquestionable certainty.

"The four kings of China all have profound backgrounds and strong strength. Even if it is Sakurai Kazu, it is estimated that it will be difficult to gain an advantage against them. It is not easy to defeat any of them."

"Is it the former Neon champion, Mr. Sakurai Kazu?"

Nanako's eyes widened, her face filled with shock.

As a trainer from Japan, how could she not know this legendary champion who had left a significant mark on the local Pokémon battle field but died young.

But she had never expected that, in Yak's words, this prestigious champion was actually no match for the Four Heavenly Kings of China.

"Then let's go back to what I just said. If you and Granny Jiangzi fight with real swords and guns, who will be the winner in the end?"

Nanako's curiosity was completely aroused, and she couldn't help but ask.

Yak looked up at the dome of the stadium, as if he was thinking.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze and said calmly:

"If it's a regular six-on-six Pokémon battle like this one, I have no chance of winning and will most likely lose."

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes:

"But if it were an informal battle, a life-and-death fight where everyone risked their lives without reservation..."

"if that is the case……"

Nanako subconsciously held her breath and stared at Jack, not missing any change in his facial expression.

Yake and Nanako stared at each other for a long time, and finally said word by word:

"I have even less of a chance. Granny Jiangzi's most iconic and intimidating fighting method is to drive a large group of ghost-type Pokémon to rush forward like a surging tide. That kind of scene, the overwhelming offensive, is terrifying to anyone who sees it.

If it really comes to a life-and-death struggle, I’m afraid I’ll have to give up my life there.”

Nanako couldn't help but gasp, and the horrifying scene described by Yake instantly appeared in her mind.

Countless ghost-type Pokémon rushed over with their fangs and claws bared. The eerie aura froze the air around them. Ark struggled to resist in the dark tide, but in the end, he was powerless to save the situation...

Just thinking about it makes my heart palpitate.

Nanako was about to say something when Yake raised his hand to interrupt her and said, "Okay, let's stop talking. The game has begun."

Nanako had no choice but to swallow the words in her mouth and looked towards the arena.

……

"Shhhhh..."

I saw the Mega Pidgeot stretching its body, its colorful and bright feathers sparkling in the sunlight.

It spread its wings with all its might, and its broad wings seemed like a huge sail covering the sky and the sun, carrying with it the whistling wind, and flew straight into the depths of the clouds.

In a flash, it was like a small but dazzling star, suspended above the vast clouds, overlooking the battlefield below.

Then, Pidgeot flapped his wings again, his movements swift and powerful.

With every powerful flap of its wings, countless sharp air blades visible to the naked eye were like a surging tide, sweeping towards the city dragon standing motionless on the ground like a tidal wave.

This city-guarding dragon has a solid and heavy body, like a towering mountain, but it moves slowly, just like a clumsy boulder.

In addition, Pidgeot has the special characteristic of "no defense", and its attack is almost unhindered. The trainer of Garrison acted decisively, frowning and secretly calculating in his mind.

He simply gritted his teeth and decided to rely on the city dragon's natural advantage of thick skin and flesh to withstand this wave of fierce attacks.

Just wait for this violent attack to end, and then seize the opportunity to let the city dragon counterattack with all its strength to catch the opponent off guard.

However, the development of the situation was far beyond everyone's expectations.

The city dragon endured the cutting and impact of the air blade. Although its rock-hard scales blocked most of the damage, it was also hit and caused dust to rise.

Just when it had endured the attack and had not yet gathered strength to fight back, everyone was shocked to find that the guardian dragon's eyes were instantly filled with fear as it looked up at Pidgeot in the sky. The skill that had been ready to be unleashed in its mouth, shining with light, suddenly seemed to have lost its support and quietly dissipated into nothingness.

"It's the flinch effect! The flinch effect of the air blade has been triggered!"

The commentator's face flushed with excitement and he shouted at the top of his lungs. His voice echoed throughout the stadium through the loudspeaker, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the audience and causing bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

"ended."

Lin Yi, who had been closely watching the battle, narrowed his eyes slightly, crossed his arms across his chest, and spoke softly with a calm but extremely confident expression.

Sure enough, Mega Pidgeot in the sky seized this perfect opportunity, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he immediately used his powerful Storm skill without hesitation.

In an instant, the situation on the field changed color, and a strong wind blew up, forming a powerful vortex airflow that directly engulfed the extremely heavy body of the city dragon.

The huge body of the city dragon was like a fallen leaf in the raging storm. It was swept up uncontrollably and tumbled back and forth in the air.

Then, Pidgeot suddenly folded his wings and swung them hard. The storm wrapped the City Dragon and it fell to the ground like a cannonball. There was a loud "boom" and a huge hole was blown out on the ground, with dust and gravel flying everywhere.

When the dust settled, the city dragon collapsed in the pit with its arms and legs spread out, its eyes closed, and it had lost its ability to fight.

At the same time, the numbers on the scoreboard jumped instantly and finally stopped at four to six.

"Thank you for your hard work, Bi Diao."

Tian Mengru breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand to wipe away the dense beads of sweat on her forehead due to excessive nervousness, walked quickly to the center of the venue, and spoke softly to Pidgeot, who was exhausted after the mega evolution was canceled.

At this moment, Pidgeot's chest was heaving violently, he was gasping for breath, his legs were weak, and he could no longer support the weight of his body. He lay on the ground in a mess like a weak and helpless chick.

Only its eyes, still bright but somewhat tired, revealed the fierce battle it had just experienced.

Tian Mengru squatted down with a distressed look on her face, gently stroked the feathers of the Pidgeot, and sighed inwardly.

It is worthy of being the King's Tournament. Every Pokémon on the field is the elite among the elites.

Take the city dragon just now for example, its strength is really strong, and its super high defense is simply astonishing. His Pidgeot continued to launch attacks in the air, and the battle lasted for more than half an hour.

This length of time was much longer than the total time spent on the previous battles. After a hard fight, we finally defeated it.

This victory was not easy to come by!
