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

Little Xingyun stood there as if under a spell, his eyes blank. His mind was like an old record player with a cassette tape, repeating over and over again the two words that Lin Yi had just spoken so loudly.

evolution.

Those two words, like a mysterious command, continued to echo and resonate in its chaotic world of thought.

"Ok?"

Ruan Yaoyao was immersed in her own thoughts when she suddenly realized that her hands were empty. She subconsciously lowered her head and saw that the small nebula had broken free from her hands like a balloon pulled by an invisible thread, and was slowly and unsteadily floating in one direction, as if being summoned by some indescribable force.

Ruan Yaoyao's originally leisurely expression froze in an instant, her heart suddenly tightened, she was shocked, and her eyes were full of panic and anxiety.

She didn't care about anything else, and instinctively raised her legs to chase after him. Her tiny footsteps made a rapid drumbeat on the ground, and she kept calling out softly:

"Xingyun, where are you going?"

There was worry in her voice, but Xiao Xingyun seemed to be blocked from hearing by an invisible barrier. He turned a deaf ear to her cries and just focused on following the mysterious force that seemed to be pulling him forward.

The originally soft, star-like glimmer of light around it suddenly accelerated its flashing frequency, just like a flare being fired eagerly in the night sky, or like an excitedly beating heart, eagerly responding to the charming and unknown call from afar.

Lin Yi had always been paying attention to the movements around him. Seeing this, he took a step forward with his long legs and rushed forward in a few strides, closely following the drifting trajectory of the small nebula.

But the eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows were full of doubts, and his mind was working rapidly, trying to analyze the reasons behind this strange behavior.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger and Zeraora on the side tilted their furry heads towards each other, and their smart eyes reflected the same confused expression.

The tiger and the cat looked at each other briefly, and seemed to have reached a tacit understanding in an instant. Their strong and powerful limbs began to move, and they followed at lightning speed, raising a small cloud of dust wherever they passed.

"Ah! No, why are they running?"

After a long climb, Ye Feng and his companions were all exhausted and out of breath, with their legs feeling as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Sweat slid down his cheeks and his clothes were soaked and stuck to his back.

After finally catching sight of Lin Yi and the others, I was about to breathe a sigh of relief and reunite with them, but unexpectedly, they seemed to be driven away by some urgent matter and hurried away somewhere else.

Ye Feng frowned and complained a few words with a pout. Although his heart was full of confusion and helplessness, he still gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and forced himself to hold on to his tired body. He exerted strength again and hurriedly chased in the direction they left.

Seeing that Lin Yi was full of life, Lin Guochang calmly raised his hand to call back the slow-moving Blastoise.

The huge body of the Blastoise turned into a stream of light in a flash of light and sank into the Poké Ball. He straightened his clothes and followed behind with steady steps, his eyes deep, as if thinking about something.

Mi Yu waved her hand and took back the Evil Food King. She turned to look at An Qing who was in a trance behind her. Her eyes were as clear as a stream and she said crisply:

"Auntie An, let's go."

"Ah, oh."

An Qing was immersed in her own thoughts, and was suddenly brought back to her senses by this call. She was stunned for a moment, then nodded mechanically and moved her feet to catch up with the team.

After the figures of several people gradually became smaller and walked away on the winding path, An Qing seemed to be driven by some secret intuition. She looked a little nervous and cautious as she pulled open a corner of her clothes, and her eyes quickly swept towards the Moon Flute hidden under her body.

It was scorching hot to the touch, and the heat penetrated through her fingertips and went straight into her heart. She frowned slightly and couldn't help muttering softly:

"Why has the Moon Flute become so hot? Or is this my body temperature, an illusion?"

His eyes were full of suspicion and his fingers unconsciously stroked the flute, trying to find the truth behind this anomaly.

An Qing seemed to be fixed in place, immersed in her own confusion and contemplation, unable to extricate herself. The Moon Flute in her hand grew hotter and hotter, the heat penetrating through her palms and into her heart. The flute body vibrated slightly but continuously, as if a mysterious creature that had been awakened was twisting restlessly.

A thin and misty halo, like the morning mist rising from the lake at dawn, slowly spreads from the flute. As the halo flows, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere comes to your face.

That breath is like that of an old man who has experienced many years, quietly telling the dusty past of the long years. Every ray of light and every breath hides an unknown past.

At this moment, Ruan Yaoyao's anxious and panicked cry suddenly rang out from the front, breaking the silence and echoing among the mountains.

Everyone ran towards the sound and saw the small nebula hovering in a naturally formed depression on the mountain wall. The light around it was like out-of-control fireworks, flickering and fading wildly. The rhythm of the light seemed to have its own will, determined to bring the small nebula into the mountain wall and become one with it.

Everyone looked hurried, and gathered forward in a hurry, their eyes all focused on Xiao Xingyun.

"What on earth is attracting the little nebula?"

After saying that, Lin Yi was puzzled. He took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, slowly raised his arm, and reached straight towards the mountain wall.

The magical thing is that when his palm touched the surface of the mountain wall, the seemingly hard and thick mountain wall turned out to be like an illusory bubble.

His hand sank into it without any hindrance, as if the towering, solid mountain wall before him was just a trick to confuse everyone, and there was no telling what shocking secrets and mysteries were hidden behind the mountain wall.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, made up his mind, gathered the little nebula beside him, with determination and fearlessness in his eyes, he stepped forward and took the lead to walk towards the mysterious mountain wall.

The little nebula was right next to him, and the faint light around it seemed to be guiding the way forward for them, just like a lively firefly dancing along with them.

"Lin Yi!"

When Ruan Yaoyao saw this, her heart suddenly tightened, her eyes were full of anxiety and worry, and she shouted out, her voice trembling slightly due to nervousness.

She didn't care about much else, she moved lightly and hurriedly, chasing in the direction where Lin Yi disappeared, fearing that if she was a step late she would completely lose contact with them. She looked so anxious, like a moth flying into a flame, her only concern being for the safety of her companions.

Everyone stayed where they were, looking at each other, their eyes full of shock and confusion. After a brief stare, as if they had reached a silent understanding, they all raised their feet to follow.

For a moment, the sound of footsteps rang out in the quiet mountains, clothes fluttered in the wind, and people filed into the mysterious mountain wall.

When everyone passed through the mountain wall, they suddenly felt a bright light in front of their eyes, and a magnificent hollow cave that seemed like it was from another world appeared before their eyes.

There are countless stalagmites hanging from the ceiling of the cave in various shapes. Some are slender and long like young bamboo shoots breaking through the soil, while others are thick and solid like thousand-year-old pillars. Under the faint light coming from nowhere on the ceiling, they sparkle with crystal clear luster, just like they are carved from crystal.

The walls of the cave are also covered with strange patterns, winding and twisting, like mysterious runes formed naturally, recording secret stories over the long river of time.

There are shallow puddles on the ground, reflecting the stalagmites on the top of the cave. The sparkling water adds a sense of tranquility and depth.
