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

At the end of the metal corridor, the blue-gray scales on the body of the Hidden Dragon were emitting fine silver light.

It meandered along the corner of the wall, every inch of its muscle precisely controlling its breathing rate.

When those patrol beams swept across the back, the scales would instantly simulate the cold grey texture of the wall, and even the infrared sensor would not be able to capture the abnormal body temperature.

The rose gold door number in my memory looms in the shadows.

As expected, there was a gap in the door, through which amber light leaked, leaving small warm stains on the floor tiles in the corridor.

Just as the invisible dragon's claws touched the carved door handle, a crisp sound like ice cracking suddenly came from inside the house - it was the sound of the bottom of a crystal glass hitting the windowsill.

&34;Are you back?&34;

Cassian's voice was wrapped in ice, but the ending melted into honey in the twilight.

He leaned against the bay window, the Burgundy wine between his fingers swaying in ripples, casting a swaying blood shadow on the gold silk curtains.

The moment the invisible dragon's ability was released, the metallic luster on its scales that had not yet faded fell on the wool carpet like guilty frost.

&34;Are you full from eating other people's energy cubes and willing to come back? &34;

This sneering question made the tip of its tail curl up into a question mark.

It didn't understand the specific reason why the trainer was angry, it just thought that Cassian was dissatisfied because of its failure in the mission.

&34;Huh? What did you say?&34;

Cassian suddenly sat up straight, the red wine swaying dangerously in the glass, "Do you have something to report?"

As the Transfiguration Dragon continued to speak, the crystal cup finally fell to the ground, and the dark red liquid formed a river on the pure white carpet. Cassian suddenly laughed.

"Mythical beast, Diancie."

……

"ah!"

With a scream, Diancie's body trembled violently, as if she had been electrocuted.

She instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but Lin Yi held it tightly.

"Don't move, it only hurts once."

Lin Yi's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of comfort. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was somewhat helpless about Diancie's reaction.

Diancie bit her lip tightly, trying to endure the pain, covered her mouth with her other hand, and nodded gently to show that she would cooperate.

Lin Yi carefully wiped Diancie's wound with a cotton swab, his movements gentle and skillful. He looked at the wound intently, making sure every part was disinfected properly.

Finally, the process of applying the medicine was over. Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and threw the cotton swab into the trash can. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out a sweet peach from his backpack.

"Although I've given you the antidote, it's better for you to eat it to detoxify." Lin Yi handed the sweet peach to Diancie and said with a smile.

Diancie looked at Lin Yi shyly, said thank you softly, and then reached out to take the sweet peach.

She slowly put the sweet peach into her mouth, chewing it bit by bit, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on her face.

An Qing, who was standing aside, looked at Diancie happily eating sweet peaches with a strange expression on her face.

She quietly approached Lin Yi and asked in a low voice, "Where did you kidnap another fantasy beast from?"

"I picked it up in the forest outside the city that never sleeps."

"what?"

An Qing was stunned when she heard the words, her fingertips paused, and her eyes moved away from Lin Yi. Only then did she notice Gardevoir who was quietly standing aside.

"Don't worry about Diancie for now, help me check on Gardevoir's condition." Lin Yi repeated.

"Oh."

An Qing responded, reached out and took out a silver device from the tool bag she carried with her, skillfully pulled out several data cables with her fingertips, and turned to walk towards Gardevoir.

Gardevoir sat quietly beside the rock, with her lavender skirt hanging naturally. Seeing An Qing approaching, her body stiffened slightly, but she still maintained an elegant posture and did not avoid her.

An Qing gently placed the data cable on it, and the device screen lit up immediately, with blue light flowing over Gardevoir.

It felt a slight electric current at the point where the data cable touched, and its eyelashes trembled slightly, but it still sat quietly, with its arms hanging naturally, and looked at Lin Yi gently.

An Qing stared at the device screen intently, sliding her fingertips across the screen to check the various data.

Gardevoir remained still, blinking occasionally and occasionally sweeping the ground with the tip of its tail, showing a hint of unnaturalness, but it never made any sound or showed any resistance, quietly allowing An Qing to complete the inspection.

"what?"

An Qing's fingertips paused suddenly on the screen, and when she looked closer, her eyelashes brushed the edge of the detector.

The blue light illuminated her slightly startled pupils, and the "LV79" in the data column was like a sudden explosion of fluorescent powder, which made people's eyes hurt in night vision mode.

"Your Gardevoir...level...79?"

This is higher than the level of Lin Guochang’s Blastoise!

"Ah."

Lin Yi straightened Gardevoir's hair that was wrinkled by the data cable. "It's because of some reasons that the level increased too quickly in a short period of time, so I wanted to let you check your status."

An Qing suddenly held Lin Yi's wrist and asked, "Are you sure you didn't feed her any banned drugs?"

"No."

"That's good."

An Qing showed considerable trust, and then gave advice as a Pokémon doctor.

"I have recently stopped using all energy cubes and switched to basic ingredients. I have increased my training by 30%, focusing on mental energy training."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement and looked at Gardevoir, "You will have to work hard next."

Gardevoir said it was no problem.

"Also, how are you going to deal with this Diancie?"

An Qing whispered.

Once the legendary beast is exposed, not only the US-China alliance but even the Chinese headquarters will intervene.

"I will take it away from the City That Never Sleeps, or at least to a place where there are fewer humans."

Lin Yi rubbed his temple with a headache, "Cover me and say I ran away to play, don't let Lao Mei find out."

An Qing raised her eyebrows, her fingertips quickly stroking the edge of the alliance badge, and finally nodded: "Got it, deal with it as soon as possible. I have to go back to the institute. The new project team is accepting data today, and I can't get away for too long."

"clear."

Lin Yi tapped the Poké Ball lightly, and Gardevoir turned into red light and sank into the sphere.

He climbed onto the back of the fossilized pterosaur and reached out his hand to Diancie.

The hem of Diancie's diamond skirt made a crisp sound as it swept across the moss. She looked at Lin Yi's outstretched hand, a little hesitant.

"Come up."

Lin Yi's voice mixed with the morning breeze, and the fossil pterosaur swung its long tail impatiently.

Diancie finally made up her mind. As soon as her fingertips touched his palm, Lin Yi pulled her up and let her sit on the dragon's back.

The fossil pterosaur flapped its wings, cut through the morning mist, and flew towards the Misty Mountains.

And at the edge of the forest ten miles behind them, Cassian stroked his chin and stared quietly at the fossilized pterosaur in the sky.

He was straddling Duduli's back.

The three-headed, life-size Duduli next to it was paddling the ground impatiently, its feather crest trembling in the wind.

"It's Diancie after all..."

A trace of greed flashed in Cassian's eyes. He did not choose to report to the Laomei Alliance, but smiled at the Transfiguration Dragon.

"You have made up for it this time."

The Hidden Dragon heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Cassian's eyes were softening again.

Cassian put away the Dragon of Transfiguration, climbed onto Tootsie's back, and patted the side of Tootsie's neck.

&34;Keep up.&34;

The three heads of Duduli screamed and raised their heavy feet.
