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

"boom."

The diving ball opened, accompanied by bursts of hazy white mist. Chenglong stretched out his slender neck and stretched his muscles in the small pond.

Then it swam back to the shore and looked down in confusion at the two little girls who were standing timidly behind Lin Yi and dared not come forward.

"Don't be afraid, Chenglong is very gentle and will never hurt you. Otherwise, my father wouldn't let it be my bodyguard!"

Lin Yi gently comforted the two sisters who were frightened by the huge size and outstanding momentum of the dragon.

The members of Lin Guochang's team have different personalities.

Either they are like Gyarados, who will go crazy and not distinguish between friend or foe once a fight starts; or they are like Slowpoke, who is a Buddhist and just idles around all day long.

Such a group of talents...or rather, these beasts, can only obey orders obediently when Lin Guochang is present.

But if the trainer isn't around, who would be willing to listen to a little kid's orders?

Therefore, only a good-tempered Pokémon like Dragonite can be competent for the important duty of a bodyguard.

Although it may not be very convenient for it to move on land, it is very obedient and can follow instructions.

"You should have learned in your elementary school textbooks that Dragonite is a kind-hearted Pokémon that likes to carry humans on the sea, right?"

As if to confirm Chenglong's docile character, Lin Yi gently reached out his hand and slowly stroked its smooth and soft body.

The latter leaned down slightly and squinted his eyes comfortably, as if he was very satisfied with Lin Yi's touch.

"Although my father's dragon doesn't like to carry strangers on its back, it's okay to just touch it and have a look."

Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Really...can I touch it?"

Mi Meng carefully stuck her head out and looked up at the huge body of Chenglong. Her heart was full of curiosity and a little fear. She wanted to touch this mysterious creature, but was afraid that it would make it unhappy.

"Of course."

Lin Yi turned sideways to make room for the two sisters and motioned for them to come forward.

Under Chenglong's calm gaze, Mi Meng finally plucked up the courage, carefully stretched out her little hand, and gently placed it on the inside of Chenglong's beige neck.

When her hand touched Chenglong's skin, a chill instantly spread throughout her body, causing her to scream in surprise:

"Oh, it feels so cool!"

This wonderful touch made Mi Meng's eyes widen. She carefully felt Chenglong's body temperature, as if she was in a whole new world.

And Chenglong seemed to feel Mi Meng's love. It rubbed Mi Meng's hand gently with its head, making her feel a different kind of warmth.

Lin Yi saw Mi Yu standing there a little nervously, not daring to move, so he walked over, took her hand, and gently placed it on Chenglong's skin.

"Hey?"

Mi Yu was startled by Lin Yi's sudden action, but was soon attracted by the wonderful touch from his palm.

She was surprised to feel the smooth, wet and cold feeling, and couldn't help asking curiously:

"What's going on here? Is it because Dragonite is a water and ice-type Pokémon?"

"That's not quite true."

Lin Yi patiently explained,

"Actually, it's because the dragon has a hidden characteristic called 'moist body'."

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly realized that this big guy, who was always docile, was looking at him with a helpless and dissatisfied look, as if implying something.

He suddenly realized what had happened and quickly apologized with a smile.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, Chenglong, I actually forgot to feed you! I'm so sorry."

"Have a meal?"

Mi Yu turned to look at Lin Yi with a puzzled look.

"Are you going to buy it special Pokémon food?"

"No need to bother. There are still some energy cubes in the suitcase. I'll just go up and get them. Please wait for a moment."

Lin Yi clasped his hands together, apologized again, and quickly ran upstairs.

After a while, he came back with a box of energy cubes.

Watching Chenglong silently eating the energy cube handed to him by Lin Yi, Mi Yu raised his own question:

"Since you brought energy cubes, why didn't you eat them instead of eating leaves in the park?"

Lin Yi scratched his head and explained:

"Uh... Energy Cubes are Pokémon food, but humans can eat them as snacks as long as they don't eat too much. As for why I don't want to eat them..."

In order to let Mi Yu and Mi Meng understand the taste of the energy cubes more intuitively, Lin Yi thought about it and then handed the box of energy cubes to them.

The two sisters looked at each other, walked forward, carefully took out a small piece of azure energy cube, and tentatively put it into their mouths.

The next second, the two of them made a retching sound in unison:

"yue——"

"What the hell is this?!"

Mi Yu and Mi Meng seemed to be wearing masks of pain on their faces. They covered their mouths and squatted on the ground, spitting out the residue in their mouths without any scruples, as if only this could alleviate the strange taste in their mouths.

At this moment, they formed a sharp contrast with Chenglong who was feasting on the meal beside them.

This taste is too weird, right? Bitter, astringent, and fishy. What brand of energy cube would taste like this? This is definitely the worst thing they have ever eaten!

"Do you understand now?"

Lin Yi walked over and patted the two sisters on the back, trying to ease the pain they were enduring. Then he pointed at Chenglong, who looked innocent, and said:

"This guy's taste is so unique. Look at these energy cubes, they are all specially customized for him. But no one in our family or Pokémon can adapt to his taste."

Then, Lin Yi continued to tell the story about riding a dragon:

“Back then, when my father was traveling in Hainan, he accidentally encountered this wild dragon.

What was unexpected was that there were so many fresh and delicious fruits around, but it was not interested at all. Instead, it chewed the sand and stones with relish. The scene was really funny. "

"This is really... strange."

Mi Yu sighed as she stared at the graceful and elegant Dragonite in front of her. She could never imagine that such a Pokémon with such an outstanding appearance had such a unique taste.

After Chenglong finished his meal contentedly, Lin Yi began to pack up the remaining energy cubes.

He looked up at the sky, estimated the time, clapped his hands, raised his voice and said to everyone:

"Okay, it's almost time, we should go back. Didn't Auntie tell us to get home before ten o'clock?"

"Huh? So fast?"

Mi Meng, who was touching Chenglong's neck, simply opened her arms and hugged Chenglong, muttering to herself.

"I don't want to go back so soon. I want to play with Chenglong for a while..."

"Meng Meng, don't lose your temper."

Although she felt a little reluctant, Mi Yu, as an older sister, walked over and took off Mi Meng that was hanging on Chenglong's neck, and taught him seriously.

"Know it!"

Mi Meng also knew that she shouldn’t show her temper, so she puffed up her face and nodded.

"Let's play longer next time, if there's a chance."
