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

The man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, forming a slightly bitter smile, and then slowly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

In that smile, bitterness was like a spreading vine, entwined within it, as if hiding countless unknown stories.

"Come on, I'm no match for you in the first place, and we both know that. Look at me, I only have Bulbasaur as my main Pokémon. If I really fight you, I have no chance of winning."

There was a hint of self-mockery in his voice, but there was a hint of helpless truth in his eyes.

"If I don't go along with you and do this, if you get upset one day and kill me in anger, I will be wronged."

After saying that, the man sighed deeply and tried to use a teasing tone to ease the somewhat heavy atmosphere.

"But now we are like grasshoppers on a rope. We will rise and fall together. You will definitely not kill me, right?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Guochang cautiously, his eyes full of temptation.

However, he only saw the other person's dim gaze, like a bottomless cold pond. There was an indifference in that gaze that he could not fathom. He could not help but feel a chill on his back and broke out in a cold sweat. The tone of his voice also unconsciously weakened a little.

"You're not going to kill me, are you?"

His voice was a little trembling, like a candle swaying in the wind, full of anxiety.

"Ah!"

Lin Guochang sneered, and the sound was as sharp as an ice cone. Then he stopped looking at the man, as if looking at him any longer would be a waste of time. Instead, he turned his gaze back to the blood-red sunset, and his eyes became even deeper and more unfathomable in the afterglow.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Lin Guochang's face, and his expression looked even more stern in the light and shadow.

This coldness, like a layer of severe frost, covered Lin Guochang's face. It was an expression that Lin Yi and An Qing had never seen before. It was as strange as facing a stranger.

Recalling this nightmare-like experience, Lin Guochang felt as if a heavy rock was pressing on his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

His own son, his blood-related child, was missing.

And as a father, he was so slow that he didn't notice it at the first time. What a dereliction of duty this was.

Now, there was no news about Lin Yi, and he was filled with worry and had no idea where to put it. He didn't even dare to tell An Qing the terrible news, for he was afraid that his wife's fragile nerves, which were pretending to be strong, would collapse in an instant.

Fortunately, the couple's previous parenting policy was to let the child raise his child freely, so the child has a strong sense of autonomy since childhood. This may give Lin Yi more chances to survive in an unknown place.

But when he thought about the reasons that led to all this, Lin Guochang was filled with resentment.

The dignified Chinese Alliance should have been impregnable, but was invaded by the Japanese king like a whirlwind.

An Qing, his intelligent and kind wife, who was an important scientific researcher in the alliance, was captured by the enemy.

And their son Lin Yi, in order to save his mother, bravely threw himself into the dangerous rescue operation, but someone tampered with his plan and he was replaced by a stranger in the process.

What's even more terrifying is that Lin Yi himself seemed to have been ruthlessly sucked into another world by the black hole created by the prison king Connor, and his life or death is uncertain.

Although Xia Nantian promised him that he would find out the traitors in the alliance and make them receive the punishment they deserved, this series of changes still made Lin Guochang have some doubts about the alliance.

Amidst the endless pain and disappointment, he resolutely left the alliance with An Qing and planned to return to An Qing's hometown.

That's right, they originally planned to go back to their hometown. On the way back home, they passed by a quiet town.

However, this seemingly peaceful town is shrouded in a dark cloud.

According to the town's Trainer Association, a vicious illegal poaching gang appeared in the forest near the town at some point.

These guys come with great force and use brutal means to capture wild Pokémon.

The trainers in the town rose up to resist, but due to the disparity in strength, they were no match for them, and everyone was in panic for a while.

After hearing about this, Lin Guochang decided to help out, thinking, “Since we’re not in a hurry to travel, we might as well take care of these guys after dinner, just as an after-meal exercise.”

He first placed An Qing properly in the Pokémon Center, which was relatively safe and had complete protection facilities and medical resources.

In order to prevent any unexpected situations when going out, he gave most of his Pokémon to An Qing, letting them stay with his wife for self-defense.

Lin Guochang himself entered the forest with only two Pokémon, Blastoise and Slowpoke.

He has absolute confidence in his own strength. With his ability, as long as the opponent is not as powerful as the Four Heavenly Kings, he can easily deal with it with these two Pokémon.

Even when faced with extremely dangerous situations, Lin Guochang was able to escape unscathed thanks to Blastoise's strong defense and Slowpoke's superpowers.

The moment Lin Guochang stepped into the forest, it was as if he had stepped into a familiar battlefield.

With the rich experience he had accumulated in expelling poachers from the mountains behind Qinghai City, he was like a seasoned hunter, keenly capturing every clue around him.

Soon, he found the traces left by the hunting party. The broken branches, messy footprints and the peculiar smell in the air did not escape his eyes.

Following these clues, Lin Guochang quickly found the location of the hunting group.

With almost no effort, he easily subdued the group with the help of his powerful Pokémon and his own excellent fighting skills.

However, things were not as simple as he expected.

Lin Guochang originally thought that they would have captured a large hunting group, but the scene before him surprised him greatly.

The hunting group he captured consisted of only three people, a number that could hardly be called a "group."

This was far from the information he had received before, and an inexplicable doubt came to his mind.

Under Lin Guochang's severe questioning, the three captured people tremblingly told the truth.

It turns out that there is another mysterious person in this forest, who is bringing a super-evolved Bulbasaur and launching a fierce attack on the hunting group.

The mega-evolved Bulbasaur was much more powerful than one could imagine, and their entire hunting group was instantly defeated after encountering that person.

In the chaos, only the three of them abandoned their companions in order to save their lives and managed to escape.

But who could have imagined that fate seemed to be particularly cruel to them. Just after escaping from the terrifying battle that was like a tiger's mouth, they ran headlong into Lin Guochang's "wolf's den".

This kind of luck is really unique.
