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

The two girls were full of doubts and looked far away in the direction Jirachi pointed.

Deep in the dense jungle, the trees were lush and leafy, and nothing could be seen clearly under the layers of branches and leaves.

They looked at each other, their hearts full of curiosity.

But right now the island is full of dangers, and after much consideration, I think it would be safer to return to the camp and reunite with everyone.

After all, one more person means more strength, and if you encounter danger, you can take care of each other.

"Tiantan!"

Just as they turned around and were about to leave, the quiet forest suddenly exploded as if a powder keg had been ignited.

A large group of bird Pokémon were startled from the dense branches and leaves.

They flapped their wings, made sharp cries, and fled into the sky.

The Pokémon on the ground were like frightened birds, spreading their four hooves and running wildly, raising clouds of dust.

The curly-eared civets who had been watching cautiously nearby were now terrified.

With their short limbs paddling vigorously and their ears erected high, they ran in all directions desperately and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

[Someone is coming, a large group of people!]

Jirachi's small body was suspended in the air, looking panicked, and shouting at the top of his lungs using telepathy.

……

I saw a group of people pouring out from the woods, all of them fully armed, wearing uniform dark combat uniforms and tight tactical helmets, with only a pair of cold eyes showing.

They carried all kinds of advanced firearms on their shoulders, and in the light and shadow that shone through the gaps between the leaves, they shone with a cold, hard metallic luster, which made people shudder.

These people gathered around each other and communicated quickly in a strange, low language.

"did you find it?"

One of them asked in a low voice, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

"Well, that's it."

Another person held up the container in his hand, in which lay a blue egg quietly. There seemed to be a faint light flowing on the surface of the eggshell, mysterious and tempting.

"Great! This guy will actively look for water. It's worth it that we have been blocking the rivers on this island for a long time, leaving only one river to attract it."

The person who spoke could not hide his pride in his tone, and his eyes were staring at the blue egg greedily, as if he had seen endless treasures.

In a corner not far away, Ruan Yaoyao crouched with her brows furrowed. She listened for a long time but felt confused. She muttered in confusion:

"What on earth are they babbling about?"

This language was so strange to her that it seemed like it came from outer space. Not a single word could get into her head.

"Yaoyao, shh."

Mi Yu, who was beside her, was quick to act and covered Ruan Yaoyao's mouth with one hand, shaking his head at her nervously.

At this moment, the danger was at hand. The opponent's movement speed was beyond imagination, and he approached their hiding place in the blink of an eye.

The two looked around and found that there was no time to find a better place to hide. In panic, they could only hide behind a bush and hold their breath.

Fortunately, there was Jirachi. The little guy was suspended in the air with his eyes closed, concentrating on using his superpowers. A layer of transparent barrier quietly enveloped Mi Yu and Ruan Yaoyao, completely concealing their breath.

If it weren't for this magical protection, they would have been exposed and trapped in a desperate situation long ago with the opponent's large team and the Pokémon that accompanied them.

Just when Mi Yu and Ruan Yaoyao were secretly rejoicing that they had escaped the disaster and were not discovered, the footsteps of the group of people suddenly approached their hiding place. The messy and heavy footsteps were like heavy hammers, hitting the two people's hearts.

Mi Yu felt his heart rise to his throat in an instant, his little face turned pale with fear, and his palms were already soaked with sweat.

She subconsciously clutched the corner of Ruan Yaoyao's clothes tightly, her finger joints turned white from the force, she didn't dare to breathe, and her body trembled slightly.

Ruan Yaoyao was also extremely nervous. Her eyes were as big as copper bells and she stared at the ground. She seemed to want to nail herself to the spot with her eyes, fearing that the slightest movement or noise would completely break the tranquility of the moment and expose their whereabouts.

Jirachi was suspended in the air, his small body tense and his face flushed red like a ripe apple.

It concentrated its attention and tried its best to maintain the barrier of superpowers, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down its forehead.

But as the group of people got closer, the feeling of oppression in the air became stronger, and the barrier began to ripple uncontrollably, as if stones were thrown into a calm lake, or as if it were fragile glass that could shatter and dissipate at any time.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the group of people seemed to have taken a fancy to this slightly empty riverside and planned to set up camp there.

Several burly men, with a few majestic Pokémon, strode around to drive away the wild Pokémon nearby.

They have grim expressions, and if any wild Pokémon are unwilling to be driven away and attempt to resist, they will be greeted with a ruthless and severe blow.

For a moment, there were screams and chaos all around.

Mi Yu and Ruan Yaoyao huddled behind dense bushes, their bodies tense, looking at the chaotic scene in front of them with lingering fear.

The group of fully armed people came and went, and their shouts and the roars of Pokémon were intertwined.

It was not until they gradually stopped driving away the wild Pokémon and instead busied themselves with setting up tents and arranging supplies that the chaotic footsteps and noise subsided slightly. Only then did the two of them come to their senses and their tense nerves relaxed a little.

Mi Yu poked his head out slightly, observed the movements around him, and then whispered to Ruan Yaoyao and Jirachi:

“Before they are completely settled, we must quickly find a way to sneak out and tell others about the situation here. It will be too late if we are late.”

Her voice was very low, almost a breath, but it could not hide her anxiety.

Ruan Yaoyao nodded hurriedly, her eyes revealing determination and eagerness. Jirachi also blinked its lively big eyes to show its agreement.

After reaching an agreement, they began to act.

The two women moved cautiously, lifting and lowering their feet lightly with each step, trying to get around the edge of the group's field of vision.

Their eyes were fixed on the ground, afraid that they would accidentally step on a branch and break it, making a noise and exposing their whereabouts.

However, fate did not seem to let them off easily.

“Curly!”

Before they could walk far, a sharp and piercing Pokémon cry suddenly pierced the sky.

Mi Yu looked back in horror, only to see a lone curly-eared cat that had been driven near them at some point. It was looking at them with helpless and pleading eyes, and its furry little body was trembling, as if it would collapse to the ground in the next second.

Not far away, a burly man holding a gun was walking towards them quickly, and the heavy footsteps seemed to step on their hearts.

"Is this the curly-eared one from before?"

Ruan Yaoyao was so anxious that her feet stopped unconsciously. She wanted to rush over to protect the poor little guy immediately.

But Mi Yu was quick to stop her.

"calm down."

Mi Yu lowered his voice and spoke with a hint of pleading in it.

Ruan Yaoyao clenched her fist and retorted:

"How can you be calm? Are you going to watch someone die without helping?"

"That was not what I meant."

Mi Yu shook his head helplessly, looked at Ruan Yaoyao who was about to rush forward regardless of the consequences, and pursed his lips.

She knew Ruan Yaoyao's character too well. Faced with such a thing, perhaps only Lin Yi could persuade her.

At this moment, Lin Yi's figure appeared involuntarily in her mind. What would Lin Yi do if he was here?

She fell into deep thought, trying to find some inspiration from her memory.
