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

On the rough sea surface that is hidden by fog and the sea all year round, the Hunter Association headquarters island is like a giant beast that has been dormant for a long time, but is now completely exposed to the sun.

The island was crowded with people, and a large number of alliance members poured in like a tide, launching a large-scale search and arrest operation, targeting the remnants of the Hunter Association.

Earlier, in the thrilling showdown on Dragon Island, the hunters that the Hunter Association was so proud of were caught in one fell swoop by the careful planning of the Four Heavenly Kings.

However, as a criminal organization that has long operated in the dark and has global influence, the Hunter Association is like a tangled poison ivy. Even if the main trunk is cut off, many branches will still remain.

The remaining scientific researchers, intelligence personnel, and logistics personnel on the island are still maintaining part of the organization's operations. Their system is so complete that it is almost infinitely close to a small alliance, posing a continuous threat to the global Pokémon ecology and peaceful order.

In the dark and damp cages of the Hunter Association's secret base, the Pokémon that were forcibly abducted had terrified eyes and messy fur.

Now, alliance staff are racing against time to carefully rescue them one by one.

After these Pokémon regained their freedom, some of them trembled and some made sad cries, as if telling of the painful experience of being imprisoned.

"Have all the people who came been confirmed?"

Xia Nantian put his hands in his pockets, the sea breeze was whistling, making his cloak rustle.

The Charizard beside him was agile and majestic, exuding a powerful deterrent force.

Its piercing eyes were fixed on the arrested Hunter Association members, silently warning them that any thoughts of resistance would be ruthlessly crushed, so that these people with evil intentions would not dare to act rashly.

"confirmed."

Lu Wusong pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a cold light flashed across the lenses.

At the same time, a huge portal appeared out of nowhere, as if a deep crack was torn in space.

A faint blue light overflowed from the door, illuminating the tense atmosphere around it.

The Alliance personnel escorted the prisoners and walked into the portal in an orderly manner.

"The portal technology developed by Dr. An Qing cannot be leaked for now, but since you selected the people who came here, it won't be a big problem."

Xia Nantian raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a satisfied smile, and his words revealed his great trust in Lu Wusong.

Lu Wusong sighed slightly, with a trace of worry on his face:

"That's true, but the number of Pokémon rescued this time is huge. We need to find out their habitats one by one and send them back safely. This workload... is absolutely huge."

His eyes turned to the group of people who had just been brought out of the dungeon.

Under the light, you can see some young women and rescued Alliance undercover agents.

Some of these women had empty eyes and shed tears silently; some were so weak that they could only stand with the help of their companions.

It is not difficult to imagine the inhuman torture they suffered in this underground organization with no bottom line.

"And these..."

Lu Wusong frowned, "It will also take a lot of time and energy to send them back to their respective places safely."

Xia Nantian raised his hand, patted Lu Wusong's shoulder heavily, and said in a deep voice:

"You are not the only one among the Four Heavenly Kings who can shoulder the heavy burden. Lin Guochang, Ruan Tianli, and Liu Yu can also contribute to solving the current problem."

Lu Wusong glared at Xia Nantian unhappily, his eyes full of doubt:

"Let's not talk about Lin Guochang for now. As for Ruan Tianli and Liu Yu, do you really think they can handle such a delicate job? I think we should be thankful if they don't mess things up or cause trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of something, stroking his chin and nodding thoughtfully.

"Emm... But, after I find out who is secretly buying Pokémon from the Hunter Association, I can ask them to come and solve the problem. That's a good idea."

Changing the subject, Lu Wusong asked, "By the way, Liu Yu is guarding the imperial capital and can't come for the time being. But where are Lin Guochang and Ruan Tianli?"

"Here."

Xia Nantian raised his hand and pointed at the eerie building of the Hunter Association. "I have arranged for them to go to the building to collect evidence."

Hearing this, Lu Wusong's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and his face was filled with disbelief:

"You actually let Ruan Tianli, a reckless and rough guy, collect evidence?"

Xia Nantian was slightly startled, and his tone unconsciously carried a hint of uncertainty: "With Lin Guochang assisting and controlling the overall situation, there shouldn't be any big problems...right?"

……

As I stepped into the Hunter Association building, dim light filtered in through the dusty windows, illuminating the interior with shadows.

Just then, a burst of noise broke the silence.

"Hey, what is this? Take it away."

"Hey? What is this? Take it away too."

Lin Guochang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ruan Tianli looking like a burglar, his eyes wide open. Whenever he saw any new object, he would quickly stuff it into the snakeskin bag in his hand.

Lin Guochang's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he shouted in intolerance: "Can you distinguish between the primary and the secondary? You even robbed someone's potted plants, do you think you are a bandit?"

“But this flower is very beautiful…”

Ruan Tianli muttered, a trace of reluctance flashed across his face, and he reluctantly put down the potted plant in his hand.

Lin Guochang rubbed his sore eyes, sighed, and said earnestly to this old friend whom he had known for many years:

"Xia Nantian sent us here to collect evidence, not to be a bandit and rob people!"

After saying that, he waved to Ruan Tianli, indicating that he should follow.

Lin Guochang tapped the Poké Ball on his waist, a light flashed, and Slowpoke slowly appeared in front of him.

It shook its head, its eyes glowed with a faint blue light, and its superpowers were like invisible tentacles, conducting a carpet search in the building floor by floor.

"Petrochemical technology?"

Lin Guochang stopped his gaze on a piece of document and followed the clues to find an entrance that was suspected to be a basement.

Looking at the yellowed information in his hand, his brows knitted into the shape of the Chinese character "川" and he muttered to himself:

"The petrification effect was achieved by analyzing Yveltal's Deathwing... As expected, the Hunter Association's petrification device derives its power from the God of Death."

At this moment, a burst of excited shouting was heard: "Fuck... We're rich!"

Hearing the noise, Lin Guochang rushed over and saw Ruan Tianli squatting on the ground, knocking and hitting, and finally dug out a floor tile.

In the mezzanine beneath the floor tiles, a large number of mega stones and Z-pure crystals of various properties sparkled alluringly in the darkness, and there were piles of rare gold, silver and jewels beside them.

"Damn it! Back then, I went to all the alliances to get a piece of Fighting Z. I spent a lot of effort. I didn't expect that the Hunter Association is so rich, even more generous than the Chinese Alliance!"

While cursing, Ruan Tianli, like a greedy miser, stuffed all the treasures in the interlayer into the snakeskin bag with his hands as fast as pounding garlic.

Lin Guochang looked at this scene, his mouth wide open in shock. It took him a while to come back to his senses, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

He shook his head heavily, trying to dispel the absurd scene before him, and then carefully folded the information about the Hunter Association's petrification technology in his hand and put it in his pocket.

At this moment, Lin Guochang subconsciously looked up and glanced at the wall of the basement.

On the mottled wall, traces of time's erosion are clearly visible, and under the dim light, some unclear words are faintly visible.

His heart tightened, and he quickly walked towards the wall, squinting his eyes to identify it carefully.

"Fairy... slate?"
