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

In the bustling and noisy Demon City, the key care room of the Pokémon Center is like a quiet island, filled with a depressing and solemn atmosphere.

Through the glass of the ward, Lin Yi, Ruan Yaoyao and Mi Yu saw a Lucario lying on the bed.

Its eyes were tightly closed and it exuded a weak breath. Fine lines connected it to various precision instruments nearby with flashing indicator lights. Every weak breath tugged at Loli's heart.

"This is……"

The three people's eyes were full of confusion and shock. Lin Yi was the first to break the silence, and his voice was unconsciously lowered, as if he was afraid of disturbing Lucario on the hospital bed.

The little girl stood aside, her eyes red, her lower lip bitten white by her silver teeth, and she said in a crying voice:

"My Lucario is seriously ill. The wave power in its body is too strong. It couldn't be cleared in time before evolution, which is why it has become like this..."

As she spoke, she sniffed and tried to control her emotions. "The doctor said that if we can channel its wave power, it will get better. But if we can't do that, I'm afraid it... only has one month left..."

"Lin Yi..."

Mi Yu subconsciously clenched Lin Yi's hand, his fingertips trembling slightly.

She felt the same way. She herself had once been deafened because of the overpowering power in her body that was not guided. During that time, she had suffered countless cold stares and ridicules. The pain was still vivid in her mind.

Lin Yi patted Mi Yu's hand gently, conveying silent comfort.

Then, he turned his gaze to the little Lolita and calmly analyzed: "The gym is closed during this period because Lucario is sick, right? So, you want to ask my Riolu to use the power of wave guidance to help it drain the water?"

"Ah."

The little girl nodded slightly, her eyes full of expectation and pleading.

Lin Yi frowned slightly, and the doubts in his heart became stronger: "I have a question. Although Pokémon like Riolu and Lucario are not common in China, there are still many trainers who have them. Why don't you ask them for help?"

If he hadn't mentioned Riolu at the gym entrance, and if the little loli hadn't heard it, Lucario would have probably missed the last chance for treatment and fallen into despair.

"I have looked for it."

The little girl looked at Lucario worriedly, her eyes full of helplessness.

"But I've tried every trainer I could find, but none of them succeeded. I really have no other options now. Whenever I hear of a trainer who can help Orochi or Lucario, I'll go and ask them for help. I'm really desperate."

She paused, and said firmly, "Don't worry, even if I fail in the end, I will give you the badge."

The atmosphere in the ward became increasingly heavy. Lin Yi stared at Lucario on the bed and began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.

"boom!"

The crisp sound of a Poké Ball being activated suddenly rang out in the quiet and depressing ward.

Lin Yi decisively threw the Poké Ball, a dazzling light flashed, and Riolu appeared in front of everyone.

"Leo?"

Riolu tilted his head, his dark eyes keenly captured the solemn atmosphere in the room, and he looked around uneasily.

When its eyes fell on the weak Lucario on the hospital bed, its whole body froze instantly, its eyes full of surprise and concern.

At the same time, Lucario, who originally had a weak breath, seemed to sense Riolu's presence and his body trembled slightly.

The monitoring equipment nearby instantly issued a sharp alarm and the red warning light flashed wildly.

"Lucario!"

Extreme fear flashed in the little loli's eyes. She rushed to the bedside regardless of everything, tightly holding Lucario's gradually cooling claws with both hands, and her voice was filled with tears.

"I'm going to call the doctor!"

Ruan Yaoyao reacted quickly. Before she finished her words, she rushed out of the door like an arrow.

"road……"

Lucario made a weak sound in his throat, and at the call of the little loli, he opened his eyelids with difficulty. His lifeless eyes were full of bloodshot, but his gaze was fixed straight on Riolu, as if being pulled by some invisible force.

Then, it used all its strength to slowly raise its hand.

Seeing this, Riolu stepped forward without hesitation and held Lucario's big hand tightly with his small claws.

At this moment, a wonderful thing happened: Lucario's originally cloudy and dim eyes gradually became clear, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a weak but relieved smile.

"Has this ever happened before?"

Lin Yi frowned, looked back and forth between the two Pokémon, and asked the little Loli.

"No, never."

The little girl shook her head vigorously, her braids flying in disarray as she moved, her eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.

Lin Yi stared at the intimate interaction between Lucario and Riolu, and suddenly a bold guess flashed through his mind.

But this is just speculation at the moment and there is not enough evidence.

At the moment, the most urgent task is to channel the chaotic wave power in Lucario's body and help it escape from life-threatening danger.

"The doctor is here!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, Ruan Yaoyao rushed into the ward like a whirlwind, carrying with her the pungent smell of disinfectant.

She was seen carrying the doctor steadily on her shoulders like a sandbag. The doctor's legs were dangling in the air, his white coat fluttering in the wind, and his originally straight glasses tilted to one side and almost flew out. He looked very funny.

Although confused by this sudden "mode of transportation", the doctor came to his senses instantly and demonstrated his professionalism as soon as he heard the sharp alarm of the instrument.

He quickly jumped off Ruan Yaoyao's shoulder and rushed to Lucario's bedside. With his hands like nimble butterflies, he skillfully picked up the stethoscope and checked Lucario's vital signs with a focused look.

The air in the ward seemed to freeze. Everyone held their breath, staring closely at the doctor's every move.

Time passes by minute by minute, and every second seems so long.

Finally, a look of relief appeared on the doctor's tense face, and he slowly said, "It's okay, Lucario is just too excited, and his vital signs are currently stable."

Then, the doctor took out a prescription from the folder he carried with him, quickly wrote down the precautions, and said:

"Try to keep the ward quiet, reduce external stimulation, and closely observe Lucario's condition. If there is any abnormality again, notify me immediately."

After finishing his instructions, he gave everyone a reassuring look before turning around and quickly leaving the ward.

As the doctor's footsteps faded away, the tense atmosphere in the ward dissipated a little.

The tense nerves of Lin Yi and others finally relaxed, and their attention was focused on Lucario and Riolu again.

Riolu still held Lucario's hand tightly, and there seemed to be an invisible bond flowing between the two Pokémon. Their eyes met, sending special signals.
