My Pokémon Player

Most people, once they have a belief or opinion, subconsciously look for evidence to support their opinion, and Ryan is no exception.

After he came up with the idea that the captain might be his father, he began to look for evidence to support his point of view.

"According to the islanders' description of the captain's appearance, he was a strong middle-aged man who looked very similar to my father in my memory."

"Although the islanders were afraid of the monsters around the captain, they didn't have much communication with him and didn't even know the captain's name."

"But from the captain's words during the conversation and his subsequent actions, it is not difficult to see that this person has a generous personality, is not particular about details, and has a strong and naive sense of justice."

"Not only does he have a deep hatred for the Shadow Church, but his appearance and personality are also similar to my father. Could he really be my cheap dad?"

Ryan already felt that his father was not dead, so he became more and more certain that the captain was his father.

But he ignored contrary information, such as the fact that captains are generally generous, which is not strong evidence.

For example, the Shadow Church has always been evil and has made countless enemies, not necessarily his father.

This phenomenon is called confirmation bias in psychology, which often leads to cognitive limitations and incorrect inferences.

Of course, Ryan was lucky this time and found the correct answer by accident.

Just when Ryan thought that the captain was his father, another question suddenly popped up in his mind.

When did his father become so strong? He beat Dick and others in one fight and made them flee in panic.

You have to know that as a deacon of the Shadow Church, Dick's strength should be similar to that of the deceased Deacon Sako.

Although Butler Sarco was killed instantly by Dragonite, his strength is actually quite good, at least stronger than the cheap father in Ryan's memory.

The former Nord was no match for Deacon Dick alone, not to mention that Dick brought a lot of subordinates with him, which made Ryan doubt his own guess.

It was impossible for his father's strength to change so much in just a few months.

What? Didn't Ryan's own strength also improve like a rocket?

Nonsense, he has a cheating finger given by Alpaca, so he is a cheating player.

His father wasn't cheating, so how could his strength change so drastically?

Could it be some kind of adventure? Did he really think his father was the legendary Lord of the Fiery Sun?

"Hmm? Lord of the Fiery Sun?" Ryan thought, stroking his chin.

"I remember Professor Oak said that most of the Sunlord's Pokémon have fire attributes, and that captain also has a powerful fire-attribute Pokémon."

"Although the islanders' description of Pokémon is also very abstract, it sounds quite like Sidoran."

"Could it be that the captain is not my father, but the legendary Lord of the Blazing Sun?"

"Tsk, I didn't expect that I almost met the legendary protagonist." Ryan smacked his lips.

"Come to think of it, I used to think that Lord Lieyang was my father. This is the second time I have linked my father with Lord Lieyang."

"But you can't blame me for thinking too much. They do have a lot of similarities, except that their strengths are worlds apart."

"But in the Pokémon world, it's not as difficult to improve your strength as you might think. You can quickly improve your strength by capturing a powerful Pokémon."

"Then the question is, can my father really subdue Sidoran and Victini?"

Ryan looked at the Victini Blessing on the panel and was in a dilemma.

It's not that he didn't want to believe that his father could tame the two divine beasts, he wished that Lord Lieyang was his father.

The key point is that the father in his memory doesn't seem like someone who can be recognized by the two divine beasts!

After a long time, Ryan shook his head and said in his heart:

"Forget it. There's no point in thinking too much. It's better to see it with your own eyes. I can look for a little longer tomorrow. Maybe I can run into them."

"Even if we can't find him tomorrow, we can mobilize the players to go out to sea to search for him. No matter what the captain's true identity is, as long as he has a grudge against the Shadow Church, he will keep hunting down Dick and the others."

"That is to say, when the players find Dick and others, they will be able to confirm whether the captain is my father."

Thinking of this, Ryan's mind suddenly became clear, and he picked up his bowl and chopsticks to continue eating.

After eating and drinking, Ryan and the Pokémon fell asleep.

The next morning, Ryan found the residents of the island again and asked them in detail about the appearance of the captain and the fire-attribute Pokémon, as well as the direction they left.

Since Ryan was dressed in luxurious clothes and was accompanied by Dragonite, it was obvious that he was a big shot.

So the residents of the island did not dare to be negligent and tried hard to recall the captain's words and deeds.

Although they failed to provide much useful information in the end, Ryan still gave them a few gold coins, then rode on Dragonite and looked for the two ships in the direction indicated by the islanders.

Unfortunately, Ryan couldn't find it after searching for most of the day. He didn't know whether the islanders pointed him in the wrong direction, or Dick was sailing recklessly in a panic and had already deviated from the original direction.

There was no other way. If he continued searching it would get dark again, so Ryan had to give up the search and ride Dragonite back to Guanhai City.

Before leaving, Ryan looked at the endless sea and murmured to himself:

"If you are really my father, I swear I will find you."

"Then I will give you a good blow, not for myself, but for my predecessor who died thinking about disappointing my father."

After saying that, Ryan turned around and left resolutely.

——

After Ryan returned to Guanhai City, he walked into the study with an expressionless face and continued to handle government affairs.

Everyone around could see that Ryan was in a bad mood, and they all asked Baron Williams, who had last contact with Ryan, the reason.

Williams could naturally guess that Ryan had most likely failed to succeed in his revenge, so he was in such a low mood.

But even though he guessed the answer, he would never publicize it.

Therefore, he did not answer everyone's questions, but just asked people not to disturb Ryan casually to avoid bad luck.

However, what you fear will come true. Miss Freya from the Flame Lion family came to visit at this time.

She was the most favored daughter of Marquis Cross and also the envoy of Lion City. Williams did not dare to refuse on Ryan's behalf, so he could only bite the bullet and knock on the door of the study.

"Dongdong~"

"Come in."

The voices in the study were very calm, and no impatient tone could be heard.

Williams felt relieved, pushed the door open and walked into the study, bowed respectfully to Ryan and said:

"Hello, Lord Ryan. Please excuse my interruption. Miss Freya from Lion City requests to meet with you."

Ryan put down the documents in his hand and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"Oh? Freya wants to see me?"

"There have been so many things going on these days that I almost forgot about her."

Ryan looked up at Williams and asked, "Did she say anything about what she wanted to talk to me about?"

Williams shook his head and said, "No, but according to the news from Firefly Town, several Vulture Knights from Lion City came to Firefly Town the day before yesterday. It seems that they brought a letter from Marquis Cross to Miss Freya."

"After Miss Freya received the letter, she ordered her subordinates to pack their luggage and rushed to Guanhai City with the Flame Lion Knight. She requested to meet you as soon as possible."

"These actions indicate that she is leaving, so I guess Miss Freya is here to say goodbye to you."

Ryan raised his eyebrows and said, "Goodbye? Interesting. It seems that our Lord Marquis is angry and has decided to attack me."

Williams nodded slightly, "I think so too. Marquis Cross must have learned about your taming of the Dragonite tribe. He believes that he cannot control you and does not intend to marry you anymore. Instead, he is preparing to suppress you."

Ryan sneered and said, "It's too late to think about suppressing me now!"

Williams echoed, "Marquis Cross's move is indeed inappropriate. Your current strength is far from what it used to be."

"Instead of making enemies with you, it is better to promote marriage and establish a good relationship between the two families."

Ryan heard that Williams also agreed to the marriage, and said helplessly:

"What marriage? I have never thought of marrying with the Flame Lion Family."

"When can you change your mindset and stop thinking about the old ways of the nobility?"

"Times have changed. It's no longer the situation where the nobles were one family."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Even if I marry the Flame Lion Family, Marquis Cross will not let me develop. He will only try every means to seize my territory and Dragonite tribe."

"Similarly, I will not stop my pace of expansion. Marquis Cross can take the position of lord of the Southeast Province, so why can't I take it?"

"The visitor from the God Realm said something very well, 'I can replace you.' Sooner or later, I will replace Marquis Cross and become the new lord of the Southeast Province!"

"This also means that Marquis Cross and I cannot live in peace. Sooner or later, there will be a war. So don't think about any marriage."

"Besides, Freya's personality is not suitable for marriage. I can see the burning ambition in her eyes. What she longs for is not the life of a noble lady, but supreme power. Marrying her will only bring trouble and hidden dangers to the territory."

Williams nodded thoughtfully after hearing this: "I understand. Who do you think is the right person for marriage?"

"I think wait a minute! What on earth do you understand?" Ryan said, covering his forehead, his face full of helplessness.

"I mean I don't want to get married for the time being, not that I can't find a suitable marriage partner!"

"Why have you become like Uncle White? Did he tell you something?"

Facing Ryan's suspicious gaze, Williams said confidently:

"Secretary White expressed some demands to me, wanting me to urge you to get married and have children as soon as possible to continue the family heritage."

"I think what he said makes sense. As the only heir to your family and territory, it is indeed necessary for you to get married and have children as soon as possible."

"Besides, you are not young anymore. When I was your age, I was not young anymore."

Before Williams finished speaking, Ryan interrupted him:

"When you were my age, was your title Viscount?"

Williams: “.”

"Answer my question!" Ryan said loudly.

"No." Williams replied with a bitter face. He had already guessed what Ryan was going to say next.

Sure enough, Ryan then asked:

"When you were my age, could you have taken over Guanhai City?"

"cannot."

"When you were my age, could you gain recognition and following from the Dragonite tribe?"

"Can't."

Ryan spread his hands and said, "That's it. The reason you didn't achieve these things is because you got married too early."

"If you had gotten married later, maybe you would be the one sitting in this position!"

"But." Williams wanted to argue further, but Ryan stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"No buts. I have no intention of getting married for the time being, and don't mention it again in the future."

"I also told Uncle White this, so he found you and most likely set his sights on Eve."

"What?!" Williams' voice suddenly rose.

"How can this be possible! My granddaughter is so young!"

When Ryan heard this, a teasing smile appeared on his face:

"That's not right. Eve is only a little younger than me."

"According to what you said, I'm old enough to get married."

Williams stammered, "It's different. Although Eve is not young anymore, her mind is still immature. She is more like a child."

"What's wrong with the kid?" Ryan blurted out.

Williams: “???”

At this moment, he looked at Ryan as if he was looking at a scum and trash.

"Ahem, what I meant was that a childish mind doesn't affect the physical maturity. Maybe I just like this kind of innocent girl." Ryan explained quickly.

It didn't matter if he didn't explain, because after he did, Williams looked at him even more strangely.

Ryan realized that the joke was too much and hurriedly continued to explain:

"Don't get me wrong, I..."

"Okay, stop talking, I understand!"

Williams waved his hand and said, with an extremely complicated expression on his face.

"I will convey your feelings to Eve. If she doesn't object, I won't hinder you!"

After saying that, Williams turned and was about to leave.

Ryan was completely panicked now, and immediately shouted loudly:

"Come back here! You know nothing, you know nothing!"

"I just want you to put yourself in my shoes and feel the pain of being urged to get married. I don't have any thoughts about Eve!"

Williams stopped walking when he heard that, turned to Ryan and asked, "Really? Are you sure you don't have any thoughts about Eve?"

Ryan replied: "I can't guarantee what will happen in the future, but at least I don't have any thoughts about her now."

When Williams heard Ryan say this, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little lost.

Because it involved his granddaughter, he was a little too excited and didn't think much about it.

Now that I think about it, it’s hard to find a young man as outstanding as Ryan, who can even ride a Dragonite. He is undoubtedly a great choice as my grandson-in-law!

So Williams frowned and said, "How can you have no idea about Eve? What's wrong with my granddaughter!"
