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

Xia Nantian frowned slightly and looked into the distance. The current international situation was complicated and severe, just like the sky before a storm.

Most countries have been caught up in this chaotic situation and have been forced to become involved to varying degrees, falling into turmoil and unrest.

In such an environment, there are very few countries that can truly remain immune. If you count on your fingers, there are only two and a half.

Relying on its profound heritage, strong cohesion and forward-looking decision-making, China has held its ground in this storm.

Thanks to its special geographical location and some complex international relations, Laomei has temporarily maintained superficial calm.

As for the half of Mao Zedong's Russia, although it has vast land and strong military support, it also faces many challenges internally and can only be considered as the half that can stay out of it.

However, the country of Laomei has always been restless, secretly obstructing China's development at all times and trying to curb the pace of China's recovery.

Now, the Laomei champion and two of the Four Heavenly Kings are firmly in their hands.

If they were all dealt with here, plus Connor, one of the Four Heavenly Kings who had died at the hands of Lin Guochang before, Lao Mei's high-end combat power would be seriously unbalanced.

Just like a building with several important pillars removed, the entire national system will fall into chaos.

This will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to Lao Mei, making it difficult for them to recover for a long time in the future and preventing them from interfering with China at will.

However, Lin Yi knew in his heart that if he really dealt with these three people on the spot, things would become a big deal.

Lao Mei has always acted in an extreme manner. After losing these high-end combat forces, he might become desperate and do some crazy things.

By then, the situation will probably become even more difficult to handle, and may even trigger a larger-scale conflict, plunging the already unstable international situation into a deeper crisis.

“Although sometimes the dead are more useful than the living, if they were alive, it would actually leave us ample room for negotiation.”

Xia Nantian's voice was low and steady. He paced and spoke slowly, his eyes scanning the three captives as if he was examining a precious bargaining chip.

"The initiative is in our hands. With them as hostages, we will have the upper hand in the subsequent negotiations with Lao Mei. If the negotiation results do not satisfy us, it will not be too late to kill them. By then, we will have a legitimate reason."

After listening to this, Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood the interests involved.

He knew very well that how to deal with these three people and negotiate with Lao Mei were beyond his ability and involved many complex political and diplomatic factors that were beyond his ability to get involved.

Xia Nantian's eyes were fixed on the two Master Balls in his hands, with a look of complacency and satisfaction on his face.

"Besides, they are not the only ones who benefit this time."

He murmured in a low voice, with an unmistakable determination in his voice.

To be honest, Xia Nantian was really surprised that Kane actually had a tornado hidden in his hand.

Recalling the thrilling scene at that time, his brows frowned slightly and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

If Manaphy hadn't urgently called Kyogre to the rescue, Cain might have been able to escape with the help of the tornado's power.

These three people might be able to return Lao Mei according to the procedures, but with the tornado, that is impossible.

Now that I have fallen into the hands of China, I will be prepared to work illegally for China for the rest of my life, Xia Nantian made a secret conclusion in his heart.

"I'm sorry to bother you this time. I will help you arrange the visa you want later."

Xia Nantian turned around and said to Mewtwo who was waiting quietly beside him.

Mewtwo looked calm and just nodded slightly.

Xia Nantian was about to say something else when the communicator in his pocket suddenly vibrated violently.

"Excuse me."

He looked at Mewtwo and Lin Yi apologetically, then walked aside and took out his communicator.

"Hello? You, you're just contacting me now that I've finished my work?"

There was a hint of ridicule and dissatisfaction in Xia Nantian's tone.

"I'm sorry, I'm in trouble here."

On the ice, the cold wind was howling. Yu Xuan held the communicator tightly. Beside him, Pokémon such as Absol and Eledo were on high alert, exuding an aura of vigilance.

Opposite him, Lu Wusong looked disheveled, with messy hair and several rips on his clothes, looking very shabby.

At this moment, he was glaring at Yu Xuan angrily, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

The Psychic-type Pokémon around Lu Wusong, Alakazam, Metagross, Mewtwo... were all covered in wounds at this time. Some were covered with scars from battle, while others were exhausted and collapsed weakly on the ice.

Lu Wusong's heart was filled with regret and resentment, and he was filled with hatred.

Originally, he relied on his superpowers and finally found Yu Xuan's trace.

Yu Xuan, the senior who was once highly respected in the alliance, was the object of his great admiration.

He was determined to arrest Yu Xuan, and he also wanted to know from him why Yu Xuan betrayed the alliance. This question was like a thorn that had been sticking in his heart.

However, as soon as he found Yu Xuan and before he had time to ask, Yu Xuan bluntly stated that he wanted to have a battle with him on the ice.

Yu Xuan said that if he could win, he would tell him everything he wanted to know without reservation.

Although Lu Wusong had some doubts in his heart, his strong desire for knowledge and his pride as a trainer made him resolutely accept the challenge...

"You can't fucking play with it!"

Lu Wusong's eyes were red, veins bulged on his forehead, and he cursed at the top of his lungs. The sound echoed on the empty ice surface, filled with anger and unwillingness.

Just now, Lu Wusong, full of fighting spirit, released all the Pokémon that he had carefully nurtured and accompanied him all the way.

He thought that he was about to face a fair and intense battle, a battle that would help him resolve the doubts in his heart and even prove himself.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

As soon as the Pokémon stepped onto the ice, nightmares began to set in.

In an instant, a violent rock explosion erupted on the ice surface without warning. It turned out that the invisible rock was triggered.

These spiky rocks hidden beneath the ice were like bombs ready to go off, instantly enveloping the Pokémon in smoke and rubble.

Before the Pokémon could recover from the sudden explosion, they felt another sharp pain under their feet.

It turned out to be the two layers of densely packed poisonous spikes. The sharp spikes ruthlessly pierced into the soles of the Pokémon's feet, releasing deadly toxins that made their movements slow and painful.

Soon after, the three layers of water caltrops also came into play.

These hidden corners are like traps hidden in the darkness, causing the Pokémon to suffer tremendous pain every step they take.

Lu Wusong watched helplessly as his Pokémon were damaged by the explosion of the invisible rock as soon as they appeared on the stage, then stepped on the nails, and finally were in the poisonous state.

Their bodies became weak, and their once lively eyes were filled with pain and fear.

It all happened so fast that he didn't have time to make any effective response.

Lu Wusong's heart was filled with despair. He never expected that Yu Xuan would set up such a deadly trap so carefully before the battle.

He felt like a chess piece being played around with, and this feeling of being calculated made him extremely angry.

Who laid a layer of invisible rock, two layers of poisonous spikes, and three layers of scattered spikes on the field before the battle? Who the hell can beat this? !

Facing Lu Wusong's angry scolding, Yu Xuan just smiled faintly.

There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in that smile, and also some unspeakable helplessness.

And the smile on Yu Xuan's lips looked more like a provocation in Lu Wusong's eyes.
