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

Lin Yi, holding the unique insect-shaped badge, walked out of the gym with brisk steps.

Behind him, Chu Die was holding the unconscious Vulcan Moth, kneeling on the ground with a haggard face and a confused look in her eyes.

"Good, that's amazing, you got the badge so easily."

Mi Yu quickly caught up with Lin Yi, with a look of amazement on his face, and couldn't help but speak.

"No, the last one was purely Zeraora's strength."

Lin Yi shook his head slightly, his face calm, not taking credit for himself.

"It's just that the opponent broke the rules first and used the trump card. If not for this, the outcome of the battle is still unknown."

As he spoke, he held the badge in his hand and played with it gently.

The badge gleams with metallic luster under the sunlight, and the patterns of the insects are lifelike, as if they will flap their wings and fly away in the next second.

Lin Yi's thoughts did not linger on this victory for too long, he quickly began to think about his next itinerary.

"Next, let's go to the Trainer Association in Suzhou and Hangzhou to see if there are any missions worth taking."

He frowned slightly, thinking seriously.

"If there is no suitable one, make an appointment at the gym in Liaoyang City, and then book a ticket to Liaoyang City."

When mentioning Liaoyang City, a hint of memory flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.

The badge can only be used once, and the badge he had obtained in Liaoyang City had already been used to register for the Little Phoenix King Cup.

Now, if he wants to participate in the Huaxia Cup, he must challenge the gym in Liaoyang City again and get the badge again.

"This is the first one. There are seven badges left..."

Lin Yi raised his head slightly, looked into the distance, and sighed softly, always feeling that he still had a long way to go.

"It will eventually end. It's still a long way from Huaxia Meng."

Mi Yu raised her head with a gentle smile on her face, trying to comfort him.

Just then, two people passed by side by side.

Judging from their appearance, they are of similar age and have similar expressions, so they should be a pair of brothers.

Suddenly, one of them stopped abruptly and stared at Mi Yu.

Veins bulged on his neck, his teeth were clenched, his hands were clenched into fists, his joints turned white from the exertion, and his whole body exuded an unusual sense of tension, as if he was trying his best to endure something.

"What are you doing?"

Zhuge An, who was traveling with him, noticed something strange about his companion, frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Stop that beautiful lady from being molested."

The man's eyes still did not leave Mi Yu, and he mumbled incoherently.

"how did you do that?"

Zhuge An's brows furrowed even more tightly, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

"Depending on my strong willpower!"

The man answered seriously, with a hint of smugness on his face, as if he was doing something extremely heroic.

"…I should call the police and have you arrested right now."

Zhuge An was completely speechless, rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but complain.

Just as Zhuge An was arguing with his companions, he suddenly felt that the two people in front of him looked familiar.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but blurt out:

"Hey? Aren't those Lin Yi and Mi Yu? Why are they in Suzhou and Hangzhou?"

His face was full of surprise. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.

"You know that beautiful lady? Great, introduce her to me!"

When his companions heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, excitement appeared on their faces, and they eagerly pulled Zhuge An's arm as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Fuck off!"

Zhuge An cursed fiercely, his face full of disgust.

His voice lowered, and his eyes revealed a hint of deep meaning.

"Didn't you see the way he looked at Lin Yi?"

Although he didn't know why Ruan Yaoyao was not here, Zhuge An was not the kind of person who liked to gossip. He understood that some things did not need to be said in detail, and everyone had their own stories and emotions.

Zhuge An's words were still on his lips, but before he could finish, his ignorant companion suddenly walked in front of Mi Yu like a ghost.

In the face of Mi Yu's puzzled and bewildered gaze, he stretched out his hand carelessly, with a smile on his face that he thought was extremely kind, but was actually extremely vulgar.

"Beautiful lady, come with me to the woods?"

His harsh and frivolous voice instantly broke the originally harmonious atmosphere, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves.

Rice bath, Lin Yi: "???"

Zhuge An: "!!!"

Before Mi Yu had time to refuse and Lin Yi hadn't started to hit anyone, Zhuge An reacted quickly and rushed over anxiously.

He suddenly jumped up, used the inertia of his body, exerted all his strength, and kicked his companion in the face accurately.

"Booga!"

With a dull thud, the man was kicked to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

"I'm sorry, this guy is an idiot! Don't take his words to heart!"

Zhuge An's face flushed red, he felt embarrassed and guilty. While gasping for breath, he hurriedly explained to Mi Yu and Lin Yi, his face full of sincere apologies.

"Zhuge An?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He glanced at the man who was kicked to the ground by Zhuge An and was still groaning, and asked in confusion,

"Why are you here? I remember you said you were going back to inherit the family business and not going to school anymore."

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Zhuge An looked at the passers-by who were attracted by the sudden change and gathered around curiously, and sighed helplessly, his expression full of fatigue and helplessness.

He knew very well that this was not the place to talk and this matter was too embarrassing, so he decided to find a quiet place and explain things to Lin Yi.

……

In the quiet suburbs, the breeze blows gently, and the leaves rustle, as if whispering something.

Lin Yi stood there quietly, witnessing this absurd and shocking scene before his eyes——

Zhuge An sent out Nidoking, who spewed out a strange purple poison from his mouth. The poison was like a thick smoke that quickly enveloped Zhuge An's companions.

With a painful groan, the man slowly fell down and fell unconscious, with horrifying purple poisonous marks gradually appearing on his face.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi's heart suddenly tightened. He subconsciously pulled Mi Yu behind him, holding the Poké Ball tightly in his hand, with vigilance and precautions revealed in his eyes.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid this guy will have another attack."

Zhuge An noticed Lin Yi's actions and hurriedly explained, with an awkward smile on his face.

He walked forward and kicked his companion who was lying on the ground with a face full of poisonous purple. He sighed helplessly, his face full of fatigue and helplessness, "This man is my brother, you can just call him Zhuge Village Man."

"Is this your brother?"

Lin Yi's face was full of surprise. His eyes looked back and forth between Zhuge An and the unconscious Zhuge Cunfu, carefully examining their faces.

Indeed, the two men have some similarities in their features, but their behaviors are so different that it is difficult to connect them together.

"Well, he's a womanizing humanoid self-propelled artillery. Damn it, he thinks with his lower body every day!"

When Zhuge An mentioned his brother, he became emotional instantly and gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with anger and helplessness.

"Originally, he was the heir to the family fortune, so I could just ignore it and continue my studies. But then I got admitted to Imperial University, and my dad suddenly contacted me and asked me to inherit the family fortune."

There was a hint of bitterness in his voice, as if he was talking about a past that was too painful to recall.

"What about your brother?"

Lin Yi frowned and asked curiously. He was very confused about the sudden change in the Zhuge family.

"Don't mention it. He just eats, drinks, gambles, and smokes all day long. He does all kinds of evil things."

Zhuge An became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and his expression became uglier and uglier.

"This time, the girl he got pregnant came to our house. My dad was so angry that he kicked him out of the house and cut off his living expenses."

As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly. He felt angry and powerless about his brother's ridiculous behavior.

"Forehead……"

Lin Yi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

In this comparison, Zhuge An, who had always played an unreliable role in the eyes of everyone, now inexplicably seemed reliable.

There was a hint of emotion in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Zhuge An with a new respect.
