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

In a deserted wilderness, a dilapidated and long-abandoned cemetery stands alone.

A black car was parked nearby, its engine making continuous roaring noises but failing to start successfully.

Occasionally, creepy screams could be heard from afar, as if the whole world was shrouded in terror.

"Damn it! Now all the horror elements are gathered together!"

Li Ye cursed in his heart, feeling like he was trapped in a scene from a horror movie.

The driver was sweating profusely and fiddled with the vehicle, trying to start it again.

However, whenever the car started moving, if it deviated slightly from the cemetery, it would stall without warning.

It was as if the owner of the cemetery deliberately didn't let them leave.

"Have you called the police?" the driver asked nervously.

"No signal..." Li Ye replied helplessly.

“It’s all over now!”

The driver slumped in the driving seat with a look of despair on his face. In contrast, the two teenagers sitting in the back seat were relatively calm.

Li Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, remaining highly alert, his gaze fixed on the mysterious cemetery not far away.

He didn't believe that there were any evil spirits in the world. If any strange incidents happened here, it was most likely a group of spiritual ghost-type Pokémon causing trouble.

Most ghost-type Pokémon do not have much malice towards humans. Except for a small number of them that have human souls, they are still relatively kind. The creepy behaviors they perform are only due to their naughty nature.

This place is sparsely populated, and next to it is an abandoned cemetery, the kind of place that would attract ghost-type Pokémon.

Just as Li Ye was thinking about countermeasures, Zhuge An suddenly opened the car door, climbed onto the hood of the taxi, took out a large loudspeaker from somewhere, and took a deep breath.

"Well, let me say a few words!"

"I don't care whose fifth aunt or sixth uncle you are, or whose seventh or eighth aunt you are!"

"I don't care if you died last year or got cold this year, or if you were cremated or used a coffin board!"

"Our car has stalled several times today. I'll be generous and not bother you anymore!"

"but!"

"You go through your hell gate, and I go through mine."

"But if you insist on dragging me to the gates of hell, then be careful or I'll go in there, dig you out and make soup, and you'll eat all of me, even the bones!"

Li Ye: “…”

Driver: “!!!”

Many eyes hiding in the shadows: "???"

"That's it! If you try to stop us from leaving, I'll eat the meat that's left, boil the bones into soup, and soak the ashes in water. I'll eat whatever you can spare! Do you understand?!"

Zhuge An repeated it several times with a loud speaker, and then slowly returned to the car.

In the corner, a large group of ghost-type Pokémon looked at each other, and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

What is this?

Haven’t you seen it?

Aren't you supposed to be scared to death and run away?

Why are you still talking about eating people?!

"Curse?"

A ghost doll looked at Gengar, who was obviously the leader and had a different color from others of its kind.

So are we still stopping them?

"Kou Jie!"

Gengar's counterattack is a big punch!

Why are you still stopping them? That guy is just an idiot? You don't know what he will do. Hurry up, let them go!

"Ma…"

The resentful shadow doll nodded aggrievedly, called his companions and gathered around.

"..."

There was silence in the car, as if time had stood still.

"Master, why don't you try again?" Zhuge An looked at the driver hopefully, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

The driver's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded. He held the key ring tightly and twisted it twice, but the engine did not respond...

Eh? Wait a minute!

At this moment, a miracle happened! With a "click", the engine ignited!

“Hmm!!”

Accompanied by a gust of cold wind, a ghostly figure clad in black emerged from the engine compartment.

The Ghostly Doll coughed violently and shouted outside the car. Then, a group of ghost-type Pokémon rushed forward and pushed the rear of the car together.

After a while, the car started slowly again and drove forward.

"Great! The cell phone signal has been restored. I will contact the teacher right away." Zhuge An looked at the phone and was immediately delighted.

Li Ye looked at the boy who was talking on the phone beside him, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. Getting along with this freak was really a huge test of his psychological endurance.

……

Looking at the taxi going further and further away, a group of ghost-type Pokémon breathed a sigh of relief.

That human who wants to eat ghosts when he disagrees with something is so scary!

......

Lin Yi slowly put down his phone, a strange look on his face.

How could a student who came to No. 1 Middle School for an academic exchange get lost and end up in the outskirts of Yanjing City? And I had to go pick him up in person?

This is not the point. What really puzzles him is how the old principal knew that he was in Rock View City?

Damn, there’s a mole!

(Lin Guochang, who was basking in the sun in Sanya, sneezed.)

“What happened?”

Ruan Yaoyao, who had just walked out of the bathroom, noticed Lin Yi's unusual expression and asked with concern.

Lin Yi gave a brief and concise account of the situation.

"Then we have to pick up the two students first and then escort them to Qinghai No. 1 Middle School. If everything goes well, we can stay there and participate in academic exchange activities. What are the specific arrangements of the old principal?"

Lin Yi rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly, "We had originally planned a date! We wanted to spend two more days here while the Challenge Arena reservation and the right to use the Fossil Resurrection Machine have not yet taken effect."

"Have you promised the old principal?"

"No, isn't this to discuss with you?"

Lin Yi passed the screen to Ruan Yaoyao. The plaster on his right hand could not be removed for the time being.

“The old principal said that if we had participated in academic exchanges in the past and performed well, these would be rewards for us.”

"Agree. You can take the subway directly to Qinghai City, and the round trip takes only two hours. You can make a date anytime."

Ruan Yaoyao returned the phone and analyzed, "The academic exchange will only take one day at most. Anyway, the appointments for the gym and fossil revival are both the day after tomorrow. We will go for the academic exchange today and come back tomorrow night. We can challenge the gym the day after tomorrow."

"That makes sense, let's go now."

"Okay, pack your bags."
