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

When Tang Chen disappeared at the alley, Yu Xuan couldn't help but smile wildly. He looked at the amount on his mobile phone account, and the increase in the number made him feel extremely happy.

"You can come out now. That guy has left." Yu Xuan's voice echoed in the empty alley.

"How much did you blackmail him?" A voice came from deep in the alley with a hint of teasing.

Deep in the alley, a man in a cloak walked out with a smile. He was none other than Xia Nantian, who Tang Chen had been yelling at Yu Xuan to kill.

"Not much, not much. Ten million is not much."

Yu Xuan proudly shook his phone, his face full of boasting, "This makes money much faster than being a lousy champion."

Xia Nantian is the champion of the league, while Yu Xuan is the wanted criminal of the league. Logically, they should be incompatible. However, the interaction between the two seems unusually harmonious, as if they are old friends for many years.

But this harmony seemed to be only a superficial phenomenon. Yu Xuan's eyes were always observing his surroundings vigilantly, as if he was guarding against possible ambush.

"Give me half of it. After all, it's because of my reputation that you can get so much so easily." Xia Nantian said shamelessly and half-jokingly.

"Get lost, you just relied on my eloquence to get it." Yu Xuan cursed with a smile, but there was no real anger in his tone.

Yu Xuan suddenly asked curiously, "But how did you find me? The most you know is that I'm in Qinghai City, right?"

Xia Nantian gently patted the Poké Ball on his waist, pointed at Absol, and explained: "My Charizard is still very sensitive to the smell of my old rival."

"Are you a dragon or a dog?" Yu Xuan teased, then looked calmly at the Poké Ball on Xia Nantian's waist.

Xia Nantian seemed to be deliberately showing that he only brought one Pokémon, Charizard. Was this implying that he had no ill intentions towards this meeting?

"So, are you here to arrest me?" Yu Xuan asked half-jokingly.

"That's right," Xia Nantian said with a serious expression, but he said something nonsense: "I'm here to arrest you, the pervert who abducted underage women!"

"..."

Yu Xuan was speechless for a moment and put on a Sima face.

"I'm just kidding. If I really wanted to arrest you, I would definitely call the Four Heavenly Kings over."

Xia Nantian spread his hands, his face full of sincerity. "After all, if I'm alone, I may not be your opponent."

If someone else heard you say this, they would definitely be shocked. As the champion of China, you actually admitted that you are not as strong as others? It is simply unbelievable.

"So what are you doing here today? Are you feeling lonely and want to chat with an old friend?"

"Yes."

Xia Nantian nodded without even thinking.

"…Are you kidding me? You're still so out of touch. You're clearly the champion."

Yu Xuan's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but sigh.

"If you feel lonely, find a good woman to date, get married, and plan your life events. You are not a child anymore, it's time to think about these things."

Xia Nantian's eyes rolled and he stared at Yu Xuan with a sarcastic tone.

"Looking for two minors like you did? I don't want to be called Lao Nan by others."

"Hey! Dirt! I don't have that kind of relationship with them!"

"Yes, yes, yes~"

Yu Xuan went berserk on the spot, "You TM!!"

……

Xia Nantian's eyes revealed a complex emotion as he watched Yu Xuan's back gradually recede. His hand unconsciously stretched forward, as if he wanted to grab something, but eventually fell down powerlessly.

"I still have to thank you for holding back and not taking action." There was a hint of gratitude and helplessness in Xia Nantian's voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, it turned out that there was someone hiding in the corner.

Ruan Tianli walked out from the shadows, his eyes following the direction Yu Xuan left. The expression on his face was a little complicated, as if he was struggling with something in his heart.

In a sense, Xia Nantian and Yu Xuan can both be regarded as Ruan Tianli's juniors. As one of the few people who know the whole truth, Ruan Tianli's position is very delicate.

Logically speaking, Ruan Tianli should have informed the alliance of Yu Xuan's whereabouts and arrested Xia Nantian on the spot for having private contact with the wanted criminal.

After all, Xia Nantian, who only carried a Charizard, was no match for Ruan Tianli who was at full firepower.

But...Ruan Tianli couldn't do it.

"Is it okay to leave this matter to him?" There was a hint of worry in Ruan Tianli's voice, and his eyes flashed with uncertainty about the future.

He admitted that Yu Xuan was very strong, but facing the current situation, even Yu Xuan's strength seemed a little powerless. This kind of thing was completely beyond the scope of human power.

Xia Nantian was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, his voice firm: "I believe in him. He can always find a way out in desperate situations."

Ruan Tianli glanced at Xia Nantian, as if looking for something. Finally, he sighed softly, as if silently expressing his helplessness and trust.

The two of them stood in the alley, watching Yu Xuan's figure disappear into the distance, their hearts filled with complex emotions and worries about the future.

……

"Not at home?!"

Ruan Tianli did not forget the purpose of his trip back to Qinghai City. After saying goodbye to Xia Nantian, he went to Lin Yi's house with a bunch of Poké Balls.

As a result, he knocked the door down, but no one responded.

After calling to ask, Ruan Tianli found out that the whole family, including all the people and Pokémon, had gone out for a trip.

"Yeah~ I'm in Sanya, just got off the plane."

The golden sunshine shines on the beach, and the children's laughter rises and falls, weaving into a cheerful melody.

Long-winged gulls soared in the blue sky, hovering around the tourists cleverly, occasionally passing by and cleverly snatching French fries from the children's hands.

The waves gently hit the beach. In the white foam, several carp kings jumped with the waves, adding a bit of vitality and vigor.

There was a group of Slowpokes lying on the beach with stupid expressions, basking in the sun, and they didn't move even when being patted by others.

Lin Guochang was wearing a swimsuit and lying comfortably on a beach chair under a parasol.

His well-trained muscles were particularly eye-catching in the sun, and inadvertently attracted the attention of a group of older sisters in swimsuits around him. They cast passionate gazes at him and seemed quite interested in this muscular man.

Lin Guochang was used to such attention, and he politely and skillfully declined the invitation of a big sister in a purple bikini.

He casually placed one hand on the back of his head, and held his phone with the other hand. Looking at the darkened face on the screen, his tone was filled with a hint of blame:

"You didn't even ask before you came. I seemed to have told you some time ago that I was going to go out with Xiaoqing, my parents, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law during this short holiday, right?"

Ruan Tianli on the other end of the phone seemed a little helpless: "I know this, but why did you go so soon?"

Lin Guochang explained, "Actually, I was planning to leave tomorrow, but Lin Yi suddenly became anxious to go to other provincial capitals with Yaoyao to challenge gyms, so I thought I might as well just leave. I've already handed over the gym to my assistant."

At this moment, Lin Guochang seemed to have thought of something. He took off his sunglasses and frowned slightly: "Oh, that's not right? I sent you a message before I left. Didn't you read it?"

"My phone is broken. I just bought it and haven't downloaded any emails yet."

Ruan Tianli waved his arm and said, "Tell me first, is Yaoyao pregnant?"

"what?"

Lin Guochang sat up suddenly, "How could I not know? Where did you hear this rumor?"

Ruan Tianli briefly recounted the story about Yaoyao sending the message.

Lin Guochang's expression was indescribably strange. "You misunderstood. Maybe you didn't understand what Yaoyao said. It's my Gyarados who's pregnant."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Before Ruan Tianli could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Lin Guochang say something casually.

"After all, Lin Yi promised me that he would take contraceptive measures."

"..."

"Hello? Why aren't you talking? Is the signal bad?"

Ruan Tianli had a deadpan expression on his face: "Tell me which provincial capital he went to to challenge the gym? I'll catch a plane and chase him there."

Lin Guochang seemed to want to speak for his son: "No, that's meaningless. What's wrong with children dating? As adults, can't we be more tolerant?"

"Before the Heavenly King Tournament, I will open the training device that only the Four Heavenly Kings are qualified to use for you."

Ruan Tianli put forward a condition, "I will be your sparring partner."

"……make a deal."

(Lin Yi, who was on the plane, didn’t come and felt a chill)
