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

(This chapter may be a little different from the usual lighthearted atmosphere. If you really don’t like the dark style, you can skip this chapter.)

(I just thought of this plot for no reason, so I'll just give you some praise here. If it makes readers uncomfortable, I kowtow and apologize here!)

……

"Calm down, calm down! Remember your trainer's orders!"

The Sniper Tree Owl muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the heavy wooden table, thinking about how to move it cleverly without attracting attention.

It carefully used its strong wings and beak to push the table open, revealing the keyhole below. The sniper tree owl plucked out a sharp feather, cleverly used the other end of the feather as a pick, and began to operate carefully.

"squeak--"

With a sharp sound that made one's teeth ache, the wooden door slowly opened, and a disgusting stench and smell of blood hit him in the face. The sniper tree owl frowned involuntarily, knowing that this smell often foreshadowed bad luck.

Just as it was about to explore further, its sensitive ears caught a faint sound of movement.

Someone is back?

The Sniper Tree Owl's heart tightened. It quickly and skillfully closed the basement door again, moved the table back to its original position, and carefully restored all the details to ensure that no traces were left.

After confirming that everything was correct, the sniper tree owl quietly returned to its shadow like a shadow, and looked around vigilantly.

"Crack, click, click..."

The door of the kitchen suddenly made some noises, and Sniper Tree Owl was full of doubts. The sound was not like the crisp sound of unlocking with a key, but more like the friction sound of picking the lock.

The door was finally opened, and judging from the footsteps, it seemed that two people entered the kitchen.

The sniper tree owl's heart beat faster, knowing that every next step must be taken with extreme caution, and any small mistake could lead to disastrous consequences.

"Lin Yi, is it really okay to break into someone's house?"

There was a hint of hesitation and worry in Ruan Yaoyao's voice, and her eyes seemed a little flickering in the dim corridor.

"Harmful!"

Lin Yi waved his hand nonchalantly and said righteously: "What's the big deal? Think about it, if this restaurant has some unspeakable secrets, we are just getting rid of harm for the people!"

Ruan Yaoyao frowned slightly, obviously not completely convinced by Lin Yi's logic. But in this tense atmosphere, she didn't know how to refute it.

The sniper tree owl hid in the shadows, its heartbeat quickened, its ears pricked up, listening carefully to the conversation between the two. It wanted to stick its head out to peek, but was afraid of being discovered, so it had to suppress its curiosity and huddled in the shadows motionlessly.

In order to take revenge this time... to rid the people of harm, Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao had already made preparations. They first returned to the Pokémon Center, retrieved their respective Pokémon, and then set out again under the cover of night.

They used Xuwuide's ability to enter through the wall and cleverly shut down the restaurant's surveillance systems one by one.

Faced with the sturdy lock and without a suitable tool to pick the lock, Lin Yi released the Litten and used its claws to pry open the door lock.

"Meow?"

The flamingo lying on Lin Yi's shoulder suddenly moved its whiskers, as if it had discovered something, and turned to the corner where the sniper owl was hiding with a puzzled look.

The sniper tree owl felt nervous, its body was tense and sweaty.

No way, how can this cat be so sensitive? I just moved a little and scratched myself, how could it be discovered?

"Firecat, what's wrong?"

Lin Yi noticed the abnormality of the flamingo and asked.

"Meow!"

The flamingo jumped to the ground, walked over and looked at the black shadow on the ground curiously.

Why does it feel like this area is much darker than other places?

The flamingo was puzzled and stretched out his claws to scratch the shadow.

Sniper Tree Owl: "..."

I want to call the police! A cat is sexually harassing me! Where the hell are you touching?!

Lin Yi looked in the direction of Litten and held the Poké Ball cautiously. According to the cheat code, there was another Pokémon besides Litten there.

Pokémon the Movie: Sniper Owl

Gender: Female

Attribute: Grass/Ghost

Level: 59

Features: Long distance

"Fiery Cat, use Bite on the body below!"

Lin Yi shouted in a low voice and threw the Poké Ball in his hand, releasing Zeraora.

Litten was confused by the sudden voice, but he followed the command anyway.

The jet-black core energy wrapped around its teeth, and Litten lowered its head and bit down.

"boom."

With a small explosion, the Sniper Tree Owl was forced out of the shadows.

Before it could react, a fist filled with lightning came towards it.

"boom--"

In such a small space, the advantage of the Sniper Tree Owl could not be fully utilized, and he was knocked to the ground by Zeraora's Lightning Fist.

Following that, came Litten's hot wind, Voidid's dissolving liquid, Scyther's air blade, and Zeraora's electric shock wave...

The main point is to beat the owl to death as long as you can't kill it. Anyway, this is not a formal battle, and Lin Yi doesn't have that much time to waste on dealing with this sniper tree owl.

Level 59. With such a high level, you can become a gym leader.

It seems that this restaurant is really not simple, otherwise there would not be such a high-level sniper tree owl guarding it.

The sniper tree owl was beaten by this group of guys who had no moral principles and were engaged in a gang fight. He had no power to fight back and fainted with his eyelids fluttering.

After dealing with this little episode, the two began to search the place.

This restaurant had already been searched thoroughly except for the kitchen. If there was nothing in the kitchen, then there was probably nothing there...

"Meow!"

Litten noticed that Tree Owl had been staring at the table in the corner until he fell unconscious, so he curiously moved closer to the table and sniffed.

Meow meow...yue!!

What the hell is this smell? Is this really a kitchen?

Litten covered his nose and began to regret agreeing to come to this place with Lin Yi. Wouldn't it be better to watch Tom and Jerry twice more instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?

Huh? No, there is a lock here, and it was pried open?

"Meow!"

Lin Yi was called over by Litten. He squatted down and looked at the lock. He stretched out his hand and stroked the wooden door that obviously had a gap on the floor. He couldn't help but smacked his lips.

"Why do I feel like Litten is the only one in C today?"

"Meow~~~" (^???^)

When the flamingo heard this, his tail was lifted up to the sky.

Lin Yi picked up the lock, looked at the fur inside the keyhole, then looked at the unconscious sniper tree owl, and a guess inevitably came to his mind.

Could it be that the lock was opened by the Sniper Tree Owl? If that was the case, then the Sniper Tree Owl was not necessarily the enemy...

Forget it, the fight has already happened. There’s no point thinking about it now.

Lin Yi reached out and called everyone over, moved the table away, and opened the wooden door whose lock was broken.

"call--"

The stench that hit everyone's nose made everyone present frown tightly. The smell was so bad that it was almost disgusting.

Everyone knew very well that there was most likely some unknown danger hidden underneath, but because the space was too narrow, not too many people could go down to explore.

After some discussion, it was finally decided that Zeraora would take the lead, Lin Yi would follow closely with a flashlight, and the rest would stay where they were and remain on guard.

In this small and terrifyingly silent space, the only sound was the echoing and clattering sound of their footsteps.

As we went deeper underground, the smell of blood in the air became stronger, as if the entire space was soaked in blood.

"Is there a slaughterhouse here?" Lin Yi couldn't help but guess.

At this moment, a low roar suddenly came. It turned out that Zeraora noticed that Lin Yi was distracted, so he reminded him. For some reason, Zeraora always felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness spreading in his heart.

This staircase wasn't too long, and it didn't take long for the two of them to reach the end.

Lin Yi found the button marked with the light switch and pressed it without hesitation. In an instant, the whole space was illuminated by bright lights.

"what is this!"

The scene in front of them was shocking - a giant crab without claws, a duck with feathers plucked out and gutted, tied with green onions and smoked over a fire, a Kentaro tied to a rack and having his skin cut open to let blood, and so on. Various Pokémon appeared in front of everyone in horrible ways...

The hellish scene before him was horrifying and unbelievable, but Lin Yi was not frightened. His heart was filled with anger.

The same went for Zeraora, whose teeth were clenched and its fur was flashing with blue arcs of electricity, as if its anger had reached its peak.

"call--"

Lin Yi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He quickly took out his cell phone and took a photo of the horrific scene to keep as evidence.

Eating Pokémon is illegal, and Lin Yi would never believe that such a large-scale and unscrupulous slaughter could happen without someone backing it up.

He really wanted to activate the Z-band immediately and turn this place into ruins, but doing so would only help the other party destroy the evidence.

calm! Be sure to calm down!

Lin Yi raised his phone, captured every detail here, and signaled Zeraora to check if there were any surviving Pokémon.

"Ow."

Zeraora walked forward step by step, carefully examining these horrifying crimes, the anger in his heart seemed to burn into a sea of ​​fire.

Every place, without exception, presents the breath of death, leaving no hope of life.

“Huh?”

Zeraora's ears suddenly moved slightly, and it stared in disbelief at a Magikarp that was pierced through the body by an iron hook and covered with salt and hung in the air.

According to common sense, its internal organs should have been completely pierced, but at this moment, it was still alive! What a tenacious desire to survive!

Zeraora hurriedly and carefully took the Magikarp down gently. Faced with the iron hook in the Magikarp's body, it did not dare to pull it out rashly, but turned its head and shouted to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi acted quickly. He first sent the collected evidence to Lin Guochang and Ruan Tianli respectively, and then called the police without hesitation.

After completing these things, Lin Yi stared at the tenacious Magikarp with a look of surprise on his face.

"Is that it?"

This seemed to be a Magikarp used for pickling. From the scars on its body, Lin Yi recognized that it was the one he had drawn during the day.

Unfortunately, it is a Pokémon that has already been captured, and Lin Yi cannot use his Poké Ball to capture it to maintain its physical condition.

“…Mumble…”

As if it understood Lin Yi's thoughts, the Magikarp was still conscious. It widened its eyes and used its last bit of strength to look towards a certain place in the corner.

This behavior, which was like a last ray of light, was like the last glimmer of a candle in the wind. The Magikarp's pupils began to dilate, and its breathing became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped completely.

"..."

Lin Yi looked at everything in front of him silently. He didn't say anything. He just turned around silently and walked to the corner that Magikarp had just been looking at.

He knocked on the corner carefully and found that there seemed to be something hidden inside.

So he picked up the kitchen knife next to him and carefully pried open the corner of the wall.

When the corner of the wall was pried open, Lin Yi was surprised to find that the mezzanine was filled with used Poké Balls.

Seeing these Poké Balls, Lin Yi felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

He suddenly realized that these Pokémon did not die of natural causes or were hunted, but were brought here to be slaughtered after being captured.

When Lin Yi thought that the food he ate during the day might be these poor Pokémon, he felt a strong wave of nausea and anger surge in his heart.

He could not accept such cruel behavior, and was filled with resentment towards those who hurt Pokémon.

However, it would be better to wait until Lin Yi got out before making plans for these things. No matter how much it cost, he would let the instigator behind this incident learn a bloody lesson.

There must be a Magikarp Poké Ball inside. As long as it still has a breath left and is captured by the Poké Ball, the Pokémon Center can slowly heal it from the outside without opening the Poké Ball.

Lin Yi tested these Poké Balls one by one, and finally picked up one of the blood-stained Poké Balls and successfully retrieved the Magikarp.

Since the hook is not part of the Pokémon's body, it was excluded. Because of this, the injured part lacks the obstruction of the hook. If Magikarp is released now, the wound without a cover will inevitably cause heavy bleeding.

"Ow!"

Zeraora, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly pricked up his ears and called out to Lin Yi.

"You said there was a fight going on on the ground?"

Lin Yi's face has not looked good since then.

Ruan Yaoyao was guarding it. Could it be that the owner of this restaurant had returned? Did they clash with Yaoyao and cause a fierce battle?

“Let’s go.”

Lin Yi threw the remaining empty Poké Balls to the ground, turned around and gave Zeraora an order. Then, he silently stared at the hellish scene in front of him, lost in thought, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.

“Boom…”

Just as Lin Yi was about to step onto the stairs again, a faint sound suddenly came. This sound caught his attention. He turned his eyes to the pile of empty Poké Balls, and saw one of the Poké Balls slowly rolling out.

Normally, if there is no Pokémon in a Poké Ball, its button will bulge outward; conversely, if there is a Pokémon in the ball, the button will be sunken.

At this moment, the button of the Poké Ball that rolled out appeared to be concave, which meant that there should be a Pokémon inside.
