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

"You're looking for Xerneas?"

Lin Yi looked at Diancie in confusion.

This Pokémon, which exudes a soft glow, is chewing an energy cube gracefully, and the pink diamond on its crown sways gently with its movement.

"Yes."

Diancie swallowed the energy cube in her mouth and nodded solemnly, "The Diamond Kingdom is in crisis. As a princess, I must find the legendary god of life, Xerneas, and seek the fairy aura to gain power."

In order to avoid the detection of the Prison Beauty Alliance, Lin Yi deliberately signaled Gardevoir to activate its superpowers, and in the blink of an eye, they were teleported into the shadows of the suburban forest.

"Then why did you come to Laomei area?" Lin Yi asked.

"Lao Mei?"

Diancie tilted her head, "I don't know the name of this place. I just sensed a mysterious and powerful fairy energy two days ago, but it suddenly disappeared yesterday."

She suddenly moved closer to Lin Yi, her nose trembling slightly, "But I can sense a hint of fairy aura from you."

Lin Yi suddenly realized that what Diancie was talking about should be the fairy slate that he had touched.

That residual energy might be the aftertaste of the stone slab.

"You might have found the wrong one."

He shook his head, "There is no Xerneas here. The energy you sensed is not coming from it, but from another object."

Diancie's ears drooped, and a look of loss flashed across her pink diamond eyes.

It had traveled thousands of miles from the Diamond Kingdom on foot to here, and who knows how long it had taken. Now the clues were suddenly cut off, and it didn't know what to do.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I should go now."

Diancie braced herself.

As the Diamond Princess, it shoulders the fate of the entire kingdom and cannot afford to be depressed for a moment.

"Shanai..."

Gardevoir stared resentfully at the empty basket of energy cubes, as those were its treasured food.

"that……"

Diancie noticed the gaze and rubbed her hands awkwardly.

A longan-sized, crystal-clear pink diamond condensed in his palm. "There is nothing else I can do to repay you. Please accept this."

"No need."

Lin Yi did not reach out.

He knew that the diamonds made by Diancie, who did not receive the fairy aura, were only temporary illusions that would soon disappear.

"Hey?"

The pink diamond on Diancie's fingertips was suspended in the air, staring blankly at Lin Yi's shaking head in refusal.

In the past, no matter where it went, this diamond that embodied the power of the fairy would make the eyes of those who saw it shine, but the young man in front of him just stared at it calmly.

"Shauna?"

Gardevoir's supernatural power fluctuations suddenly became excited, and the lavender figure approached Diancie, its ruby-like eyes reflecting the luster of diamonds.

“It seems to like it.”

Lin Yi looked at Gardevoir standing on tiptoe and couldn't help but chuckle, "Just give it to it. It just so happens that you ate the energy cubes it stored, so this can be considered an 'equivalent exchange'."

Diancie suddenly realized and hurriedly handed the diamond to Gardevoir.

This elegant psychic Pokémon actually showed a rare expression of excitement. He solemnly took the diamond with both hands and carefully tucked it into his hair behind his ear.

The pink diamonds and the crystal decorations on Gardevoir's hair complement each other, emitting tiny streams of light in the twilight.

"It's beautiful."

Lin Yi reached out and rubbed the top of Gardevoir's head, and felt a soft touch in his palm.

The tips of the Pokémon's ears burned, and he tried to hide his burning cheeks, but a smile appeared between his fingers.

Diancie looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile.

After Diancie's figure disappeared into the forest path, Lin Yi tapped his fingertips lightly, and the fairy slate jumped from the system space into his palm.

The lines on the pink stone surface were slightly hot. He stared at the stone slab and murmured, "Is it the power of the stone slab itself that allows the mythical beast to cross regions and track him, or is it..."

"Shauna?"

Gardevoir's whisper interrupted my thoughts.

Lin Yi looked up and saw that his partner's fingertips had lightly touched the surface of the stone slab, and his nails outlined a faint light between the stone patterns.

The next second, a large amount of energy suddenly burst out from the stone slab, climbing up along Gardevoir's arm like a vine.

The pink diamonds in her hair suddenly shone like little suns, and tiny rays of light fell down, blooming into fluorescent flowers on the grass.

"Shit! Wait! Don't—"

Lin Yi's exclamation was swallowed up by the wave of energy explosion.

The system interface suddenly expanded on his retina, and he watched Gardevoir's level number soar like a rocket.

69, 70, 71... When the numbers stopped at level 79, the stone slab finally made a slight buzzing sound, and the energy continued.

"Fuck!"

Lin Yi hurriedly put away the stone slab and rushed to Gardevoir in two steps.

The Pokémon in girl form was shaking her head slightly, and the diamonds in her hair were glowing with an iridescent halo, adding a bit of divine majesty to her originally gentle temperament.

"Gardevoir? Is it hurting anywhere?"

He grabbed his partner's hand, his tone full of anxiety.

You know, the higher the level of Pokémon, the more time it takes to advance to a higher level. Jumping more than ten levels at once is likely to leave hidden dangers.

Gardevoir shook her head slightly, holding up a maple leaf dyed pink by energy in her palm.

The leaves were spinning at her fingertips, gradually condensing into a translucent fairy energy body.

She looked up at Lin Yi, the light in her eyes clearer than ever before.

"Sanae (It's okay)."

Lin Yi stared at the skyrocketing values ​​of Gardevoir in the system interface, then looked at the bright new diamond in her hair, his brows furrowed.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger had long been defeated, lying on the grass with its tongue hanging out. Its fur had turned gray from the fairy energy, and its tail weakly flapped the ground.

Zeraora's fur stood up, its electric hair stood up like dandelions, and its claws subconsciously dug into the soil.

The double-bomb gas and naughty mines huddled together in fear and fell to the ground in the bushes.

Ripples appeared on the edges of the Hidden Dragon's mimicry, and its eyes were rolling around, and I don't know what evil plan it was thinking.

"I must ask my mother to check for the hidden danger of energy runaway."

Lin Yi pressed his thumb on the switch of the Poké Ball, and the metal shell was wet with sweat from his palm.

Gardevoir looked at his taut jawline and gently touched the back of his hand with her fingertips.

The boy was stunned for a moment, then his tone softened: "I know you're fine, but it's better to be safe..."

"boom--!"

The muffled sound was like thunder rolling over the earth, and a column of orange smoke rose from the forest in the distance.

Lin Yi turned around suddenly and saw that the direction of the explosion was exactly the path that Diancie had left.

"That direction... is Diancie?!"

Lin Yi's heart was filled with alarm and he stood up suddenly: "Hurry up! Gardevoir, Zeraora, Scorching Roar - uh..."

His eyes swept over the flaming roaring tiger lying on the ground with its tongue hanging out. Lin Yi's mouth twitched and his voice suddenly softened.

"Come back and rest first."

A red light flashed, and the Fire and Evil Pokémon turned into a point of light and drilled into the Poké Ball.

The double-bullet gas and naughty mines were also retracted with a buzzing sound, leaving only Zeraora standing beside him with crackling electric sparks.

When he touched the Poké Ball of the Wind Ball and was about to put the Dragonite back into the shadow of the Wind Ball, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Where's the Dragonite?"

"Ow?"

Zeraora turned around following the sound, and saw only a few swaying blades of grass in the shadow where the Hidden Dragon had been lying just now.

Lin Yi was so anxious that he wanted to search through the system space, but was interrupted by the second "boom" explosion in the distance.

The orange-red firelight made his face pale, and he clenched his teeth:

"Forget it, forget it, let's go!"
