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

Lin Guochang fell into deep thought, constantly pondering the various strange aspects of the appearance of this mysterious woman.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and in front of Sakurai Mizuki, he resolutely took out his mobile phone and quickly found a group of six people on WeChat.

His fingers danced quickly on the screen, typing a line of urgent text:

"Someone has invaded the Alliance's underground laboratory, come to support us!"

"???"

After the message was sent, for a moment, except for Ruan Tianli and Lu Wusong who seemed to be offline, Xia Nantian, Liu Yu, and even Grandma Jiang Zi all removed the question mark in the group.

The series of question marks seemed to express their surprise and confusion.

In order to prove that what he said was true, Lin Guochang raised his mobile phone without hesitation and quickly took a photo of Sakurai Mizuki.

"Click——"

A crisp shutter sound was heard, and looking at Lin Guochang's phone with the flash on, Sakurai Mitsuki was visibly stunned.

A hint of surprise flashed across her originally indifferent eyes, as if she didn't expect the other party to do such a thing at such a tense moment.

When the photo was sent to the group, the frivolous Liu Yu immediately spoke like a pervert:

"Wow, a barefoot kimono girl! (σ≧?≦)σ So pretty! Help me get her contact information!"

Her words were full of excitement and teasing, and she seemed to have completely forgotten that this was an emergency.

If someone who didn't know the truth saw Liu Yu's reaction at this moment, they might mistakenly think she was a pervert.

After all, at such a tense moment, her attention was completely off the point.

On the other side, Grandma Jiangzi looked at Sakurai Mizuki's bare feet on the ground with a worried look on her face, and said distressedly:

"Hey? Why doesn't this child wear shoes? Isn't she afraid of catching a cold? At least let her put on the socks on her hands!"

Her tone was full of concern, as if she was a loving elder worried about her younger generation.

"..."

Lin Guochang looked at the reactions in the group and held his forehead helplessly.

He sighed silently in his heart, and then typed the text again:

"You are focusing on the wrong thing! This is an intruder! Can you please be more serious?!"

At this time, Lin Guochang finally understood the feeling that Lu Wusong had, which was caused by the unreliability of his colleagues.

"Isn't this woman... the new Neon champion?"

Finally, Xia Nantian sent out some useful information in the group.

Seeing this news, Lin Guochang was slightly stunned.

He really doesn't know much about international affairs. In the past few years, he has spent all his time training Pokémon, running gyms, and dating his wife An Qing.

Lin Yi: "??? What about me?"

The changes in the international situation and the replacement of champions seemed like things from another world to Lin Guochang.

Even if Lin Guochang knew someone from someone else, it was probably because Ruan Tianli told him about her when they were drinking together, so he didn't know Sakurai Mizuki.

He looked up hesitantly at Sakurai Mizuki and the Pokémon around her, his heart full of doubts.

Champion? I don't think I'm that strong...

Although the powerful aura of that Pokémon can be sensed, the feeling from the other Pokémon is not as strong.

However, since he is the champion, he must have some strengths, right?

Xia Nantian seemed to have guessed Lin Guochang's doubts and continued to explain in the group:

"Originally, the champion of Neon Country was Sakurai Mizuki's husband, Sakurai Kazu. However, he died unexpectedly half a year ago. Later, due to various reasons, Sakurai Mizuki, who was relatively mediocre among the four kings of Neon Country, became the champion."

When Lin Guochang saw this, he had a clearer understanding of the identity of this woman.

Oh? So the real strength is the Four Heavenly Kings? Lin Guochang shook his head in his heart, and then hurriedly said:

"So when will you come back for support?!"

His tone was full of anxiety and expectation. However, all he got in response was silence.

After a while, replies came from the group.

"No time."

"plus one."

"plus one."

Lin Guochang: "..."

Lin Guochang was so angry that he was shaking all over and almost threw his phone to the ground.

What do you mean by no time? This is the underground research institute of the Imperial Alliance headquarters! In a more serious way, it can be called a terrorist attack! You know better than me how much the alliance values ​​this research!

At the entrance to the spiritual world somewhere, Grandma Jiangzi was lying quietly on an old chair. The chair swayed gently in the breeze, making a slight creaking sound.

She looked at the strange sky of the spirit world. There was a layer of mysterious fog in the sky, making it difficult to see far away.

In the desolate land, demons and monsters roaming around exude a gloomy aura that makes people shudder.

Grandma Jiangzi couldn't help but sigh, her eyes were full of worry and helplessness.

She looked at the chat message on the phone screen and typed it in helplessly.

"I'm still guarding the spirit world. If I could get away I would have left long ago."

Her voice revealed exhaustion and helplessness. The spirit world has been in turmoil lately, and the cause is unknown. Granny Jiangzi cannot leave until the situation is clarified.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong and the alliance members guarding here can't stop the ghost-type Pokémon that rushes out, it will be a huge disaster.

Doesn't she also want to go back and see her precious grandchildren?

But she knew that she had a heavy responsibility and could not leave her post easily.

Grandma Jiang Zi's heart was full of contradictions and helplessness. She wanted to help Lin Guochang, but she couldn't let go of her responsibilities.

When Lin Guochang saw that Granny Jiang Zi was indeed in trouble, he turned his gaze to Xia Nantian and asked anxiously:

"You are a champion of China, why don't you come back after something like this happened?"

Lin Guochang quickly tagged Xia Nantian in the group and urged anxiously:

"@Xia Nantian, please come back soon!"

However, Xia Nantian simply replied: "I'm very busy and don't have time."

Lin Guochang's dissatisfaction grew stronger, and he asked, "What's so busy that you have to ignore the safety of the alliance?"

Xia Nantian still responded calmly: "I'm busy grabbing things."

Lin Guochang was full of doubts and typed a series of question marks: "???"

Then he fell silent.

At this time, Xia Nantian seemed to realize that his reply was inappropriate, so he withdrew a message and smiled wickedly.

At this time, in a huge research center far away in the United States.

The night fell as dark as ink, and the lights of the research institute were particularly dazzling in the darkness, like a beacon in a storm, emitting light lonely and firmly, attracting the attention of uninvited guests.

The alarm sounded continuously in the empty corridor, sharp and rapid. The sound was like an arrow piercing the air, as if announcing the coming of disaster.

The glass door of the laboratory was violently knocked open, and glass fragments flew like snowflakes, scattering all over the ground, like torn ice crystals, flashing a cold light under the light.

The paintings on the wall were crooked, as if silently telling the chaos that had just happened. The originally beautiful pictures now looked so messy.

On the floor, the originally tidy laboratory table was now a mess, with test tubes and instruments scattered everywhere. Some still had traces of chemical reagents remaining, emitting a pungent smell. The smell permeated the air, making people frown.

The surveillance camera on the ceiling was damaged, with the wires exposed, looking particularly hideous, as if it had been torn by a wild beast.

The red light of the siren was still flashing, but no one paid any attention to it.

The air was filled with a burnt smell mixed with a pungent smell of rust, which made people shudder, as if they were in a horror world.

Xia Nantian, who had dressed himself up so that his original appearance was completely unrecognizable, lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, his fingers dancing quickly on the screen, replying to messages with a sly smile on his face.
