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

Chapter 1204: Attack in the Dark

"Half a month?"

Lin Yi muttered to himself, he looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the sunset glow in the sky was burning like flames, dyeing the entire sky orange-red.

When they arrived at Champion Island, the sun was about to set, and it was already getting dark.

After a brief thought, Lin Yi decisively gave the order: "Set up camp."

Naturally, everyone had no objection to Lin Yi's arrangement. After all, they were all experienced trainers, and setting up tents was a piece of cake for them.

After a while, tents appeared in the open space like magic.

After the Pokémon finished their meal, they were put back into their Poké Balls to rest, and then everyone started to enjoy their dinner.

The trees in the forest are lush and green, with flourishing branches and leaves. The space seems a bit narrow and cramped, making it difficult to accommodate all the Pokémon to appear at the same time.

Therefore, everyone can only choose to release a Pokémon to stand by when on night watch.

At the same time, Yun Shang, who was not far away, was holding a spoon and feeding Xiao Yichen tenderly.

She asked softly, "Are you full?"

Xiao Yichen nodded slightly, indicating that he was full.

Seeing this, Yun Shang smiled slightly, then moved closer to him, opened her red lips, and said softly:

"I'm really hungry now. Let's go into the tent."

Xiao Yichen's face turned pale instantly. He quickly grabbed Yun Shang's restless hand and said embarrassedly:

"Don't be like this... the others are here..."

However, Yun Shang didn't care. She said coquettishly, "It's okay. Just be gentle. I can just cover my mouth myself, right?"

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Cen Zhi who was passing by happened to witness this scene.

He looked at Xiao Yichen's pale face and finally couldn't help but speak:

"Well... I might be a little too nosy. But the competition is about to start, so it's better to be restrained."

Yun Shang puffed up her cheeks when she heard this. Although she felt a little reluctant, she also felt that what Cen Zhi said made sense.

So she turned around and walked towards her tent angrily.

Xiao Yichen looked at Cen Zhi with gratitude, then hurried back to his tent as if relieved.

"These two people...ah."

Cen Zhi shook his head helplessly, his eyes fell on Lin Yi, and he said softly:

"Captain, I'm going to sleep for a while. Remember to wake me up in the middle of the night. It's my turn to keep watch."

Lin Yi nodded to show that he understood, then turned to look at Lu Xinghui who had just returned from washing up, and said earnestly:

"You don't have to keep watch. Your superpowers are very important to our team. You need to rest more and stay in good condition during this period."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xinghui quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't need to rest, Captain, I can keep watch..."

However, before she could finish her words, she met Lin Yi's firm and unquestionable gaze, so she swallowed the rest of her words back like a deflated ball, and then obediently went into the tent.

Looking at Lu Xinghui's back, Lin Yi couldn't help but frowned and muttered to himself:

"We need to find a time to remind her not to be too anxious. More haste, less speed."

Cen Zhi, who was standing by, seemed to have seen through Lin Yi's thoughts and said with a smile:

"Hehe, our second team has always been seen by the outside world as a runner-up. This time in the global league, the Chinese news media are all cheering for the Four Heavenly Kings, and we are just mentioned in passing. This little girl probably always wants to prove her own worth, so she is working so hard."

As soon as Cen Zhi finished speaking, he froze as if he suddenly realized something.

He wondered in his heart, Lin Yi seems to be the youngest in the second team, right?

And he's not even 20 years old yet! But even such a young man has extraordinary maturity and mastery of tactics, so much so that everyone often ignores his age.

Cen Zhi couldn't help but think back to when he was nineteen. What was he doing at that time? It seemed like he was just hanging around in college.

Thinking of this, Cen Zhi felt a little emotional. He hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say to Lin Yi:

"Captain, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

When Lin Yi heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a somewhat puzzled expression, but still nodded and agreed readily.

After everyone went into the tent to rest, the air around them suddenly became extremely quiet.

Lin Yi sat quietly beside the campfire, staring at the jumping flames expressionlessly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he stood up, walked to the campfire, and added some firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously.

Just as he straightened up, his eyelids suddenly lifted slightly, and his eyes stared at an inconspicuous corner as sharp as an eagle.

Then he slowly stood up, holding the Poké Ball on his waist, and walked towards the tree step by step.

When he reached the tree, he stopped, raised his foot, and kicked the tree mercilessly.

Just as his feet touched the tree trunk, he heard a rustling of leaves, and a black shadow rushed out from behind the tree like lightning and pounced straight towards Lin Yi!

"Shh!"

In the pitch-black night, a cold light flashed, followed by a dull crash.

The boiling blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing on the tree trunk, forming a large and shocking bloodstain.

Lin Yi's eyes widened, and with horror he covered his neck from which blood was gushing out. His pupils trembled violently with extreme fear.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the blood was like a flood that broke through a dam and could not be stopped.

Finally, Lin Yi's body seemed to have lost its support and fell straight to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

His body twitched slightly a few times, as if he was making a final struggle, but soon he stopped moving and completely lost his life.

Just then, five people slowly walked out of the shadows.

They were the French team. They had been following Lin Yi and his group, waiting until everyone else fell asleep before taking action.

"Just... just that easy?"

One of them said in disbelief, a hint of surprise in his voice.

After all, Lin Yi is the captain of the Chinese second team. How could he be so vulnerable?

"He's just a boy, and he hasn't even released his Pokémon yet, so how could he possibly resist?"

Another person said nonchalantly, while carefully wiping the blood off the Iron-masked Ninja's body with a handkerchief.

It was obvious that it was this iron-masked ninja who had just killed Lin Yi.

"Hey! You are one of the Four Heavenly Kings, but you have fallen so low as to kill a teenager in the middle of the night. You have no shame, but men have dignity!"

Suddenly, a man snorted coldly, turned around and walked away with disdain on his face, obviously extremely disgusted with such behavior.

When others were about to persuade him, Champion Louis said in a low voice,

"Don't worry about him. He'll be there by the time the game starts. Take the Gyarados off this guy."

A man nodded slowly, then walked to Lin Yi's side and stared at his closed eyes quietly.

The man couldn't help but sigh: "It's so pitiful. You have achieved such brilliant results at such a young age. Maybe you will become the next champion of China in the future."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the Poké Ball on Lin Yi's waist, preparing to take it away.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the Poké Ball, he suddenly seemed to notice something unusual and turned back abruptly with a look of astonishment on his face.

"These...these are actually empty Poké Balls!" he cried out.
