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

Beside the winding river in Yanggui City, among the lush branches and leaves, an electric flying squirrel was lying comfortably on a thick branch, sleeping soundly with its legs spread out.

Its belly rose and fell with its even breathing, and there were still some fruit residues on the edge of its mouth. There were many leftover fruits scattered around it, and the peels and cores were thrown randomly on the branches, witnessing its previous full meal.

The Electric Flying Squirrel has been working in the gym for quite some time. For it, what is the purpose of being busy in the gym?

When you think about it, it’s all for those few bites of food to fill your stomach.

Now it has discovered that as long as it finds the right opportunity during the day, finds a few passers-by to act cute and pretend to be pitiful, or simply be brave enough to rob them directly, the kind and timid humans in this city will obediently offer the delicious food to them.

Since life outside is so easy and comfortable, with no worries about food and drink, why would you bother going back to the dojo to work?

It thinks it is not that stupid and will not go back to be bound by that restriction.

Thinking of this, the electric flying squirrel raised the corners of his mouth slightly in his sleep, grinning foolishly, as if he was having a sweet dream full of delicious food.

However, the electric flying squirrel had no idea that danger was approaching quietly.

In the river below it, countless pairs of green eyes were staring at it through the water.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, two dull noises broke the silence.

Two sturdy crabs suddenly released a large amount of foam from their powerful claws.

These bubbles were like surging waves, with great impact force, rushing straight towards the branch where the electric flying squirrel was.

"Wow--"

The foam instantly wrapped the electric flying squirrel. Before it could wake up from its sweet dream, it was washed off the tree by the powerful force and fell into the river.

The electric flying squirrel woke up suddenly, feeling dizzy. Before it could figure out what was happening, a stinging jellyfish swam over quickly and tied up the electric flying squirrel tightly with its slender tentacles covered with poison.

The electric flying squirrel was terrified and out of instinct, it subconsciously released electric current in an attempt to break free.

But it never expected that as soon as the electric current was released, it was completely absorbed by the goldfish king next to it.

The unique horn on the goldfish king's head flashed blue light under the impact of electric current. It turned out that it had the characteristics of a lightning rod and was not afraid of electric current attacks at all.

Seeing that the electric current attack was ineffective, the electric squirrel became more and more panicked and struggled desperately to escape.

But before it could think of any other solution, a little lotus leaf boy swam over nimbly.

The lotus leaf boy reached out and picked up the fruit that was also washed down by the foam, and forced it into the electric flying squirrel's mouth without saying a word.

The fruit blocked the electric flying squirrel's mouth, preventing it from making a sound to call for help.

Then, these "kidnappers" took the electric flying squirrel and swam away quickly, leaving only ripples on the river surface.

The entire kidnapping process was done in one go, smoothly and fluidly. The electric flying squirrel didn't even have time to react before it was successfully "kidnapped".

And such scenes are quietly happening in every corner of Yanggui City at this moment.

Countless gym Pokémon that were originally roaming freely in the city were captured one by one by the "capture team" composed of water Pokémon without any warning.

……

By the river shrouded in darkness, Ye Jinglei stood there like a wooden sculpture, his eyes fixed on the electric Pokémon that were tied up and thrown on the shore like captives.

His mouth was opened wide enough to fit an egg in. He was completely shocked by the scene before him. He stood there for a long time before finally uttering two words stutteringly:

"...What the hell?"

Looking back on the past few days, he and the apprentices and assistants in the gym had put in a lot of effort to find these escaped Pokémon. They ran to every corner of the city, but they couldn't catch even a single Pokémon.

And now, in just a short moment, all the Pokémon that had given them a headache appeared before their eyes. This huge contrast made it difficult for Ye Jinglei to accept it for a moment, and his mind went blank.

In fact, the search work did not go smoothly before, partly because of the obstruction of Yanggui City residents during the day.

Out of their love for Pokémon, the residents do not want to see them get hurt, which limits the search efforts at every turn; on the other hand, everyone in the gym adheres to the principle of gentle recall, trying to call the Pokémon back in a way that does not harm them.

But they didn't expect that these Pokémon had already been bewildered by the free life outside and didn't buy it at all. They turned a deaf ear to their calls and refused to return to the gym.

However, the army of water-type Pokémon doesn't care about that.

After receiving Manaphy's orders, they had clear goals and acted decisively, and they started the capture directly.

When encountering a Pokémon that resists, they will beat it up without saying a word until it becomes submissive, and then take it away by force.

Now it was late at night and most of the residents had fallen asleep. The few who were still awake saw Pokémon catching Pokémon from afar and thought it was just a common fight between Pokémon. They didn't take it too seriously and no one stepped forward to stop it.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Count first to see if there's anything missing."

Lin Yi's voice broke the silence. He patted Ye Jinglei on the shoulder and reminded him.

"it is good."

Ye Jinglei finally came back to his senses, nodded hurriedly, and began to carefully count the number of Pokémon.

He squatted down and counted them carefully one by one, muttering to himself, for fear of missing any.

Mi Yu, who was standing by, was also shocked by the spectacular scene. His mouth opened slightly and his eyes widened in disbelief.

But as she was staring at these Pokémon, she suddenly felt her lips being bitten gently.

"Well!"

Mi Yu subconsciously let out a soft cry, and the whole person froze instantly, with a flash of panic in his eyes.

Then she slowly closed her eyes, a blush appeared on her face, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was trying to adapt to this sudden close contact.

After a long while, Lin Yi let go of Mi Yu, who was breathing heavily.

At this moment, Mi Yu's cheeks were flushed, and there was a hint of anger and shyness in her eyes.

"Lin Yi, you——"

Mi Yu was about to ask a question but was interrupted by Lin Yi.

"You opened your mouth first."

Lin Yi said this seriously, without any trace of joking on his face, as if he really did that just because Mi Yu opened his mouth.

After hearing this, Mi Yu looked aggrieved and pouted her lips.

She gently hit Lin Yi's shoulder in protest.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Take a look and see if you are satisfied."

Lin Yi smiled and changed the subject. The reason why he brought Mi Yu here specially was because he had his own plans.

He wanted Mi Yu to capture the Pokémon he liked, but this Pokémon was not for Mi Yu, but for Mi Yu's sister Mi Meng.

Lin Yi thought to himself that it would be great if he could meet a suitable Pokémon here. If not, he planned to go to the breeding house and carefully select one himself.

He might not have cared too much about it before, but now Mi Meng is his sister-in-law, so he naturally cannot help but pay attention and want to do his best.
