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

"Hu-hu-"

Lin Yi's chest was rising and falling rapidly, he was gasping for breath, his face was as pale as paper, completely bloodless.

He held his chest tightly with both hands, as if an invisible giant hand was holding it tightly. The air was like thick mud, blocking his respiratory tract, making him suffocate and almost faint.

"Roar?!"

The eyes of the fossil pterosaur were filled with panic and worry at this moment. Its huge body quickly moved close to Lin Yi, and its movements were so gentle that it was afraid of hurting him in the slightest. It rubbed Lin Yi's arm carefully with its hard head and let out a low, concerned roar from its throat.

"I am fine."

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, forced a smile, raised his hand and gently stroked the neck of the fossil pterosaur, signaling it not to worry.

Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at Gardevoir with complicated eyes, which were filled with shock, compassion and deep emotion.

Just now, he asked Gardevoir to use its super powers to share its memories with him.

At this moment, his mind kept flashing back to every little detail of Mitsume and Gardevoir, those moments of life and death, the tender moments and the heart-wrenching separation, every single one of them was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into his heart.

Lin Yi calmed himself down, and walked towards the tombstone in front of him with difficulty, his eyes fixed on it, and asked with a trembling voice:

"So, is this Ms. Guangmei's tombstone?"

Gardevoir nodded slightly, with a look of sadness that was hard to conceal in her eyes.

It paused, as if it was lost in memories of the past, and after a long time, it slowly spoke again.

"Sanae, Sanae..."

When she was alive, she once told me that people would be buried under tombstones after death, saying that it was a place for the living to place their thoughts and also a place for the souls of the deceased to rest.

I built this according to her description, brick by brick, soil by soil, and stone by stone, just to let her rest in peace. Even if she is no longer by my side, I hope she can find peace here...

At this point, Gardevoir's voice was choked with sobs, and her body began to tremble slightly.

Gardevoir bowed slightly and gracefully, its movements full of apology and courtesy. Its clear eyes revealed a hint of annoyance, and it said softly, "Gardevoir."

I'm really sorry that I rashly attacked you before because I mistook you for those vicious poachers.

This forest is the place I have tried my best to protect, and it is also the place that holds all the memories of Guangmei and I. When I saw a stranger breaking in, the terrible memories of the past instantly flooded into my mind, and I instinctively took action. I hope you won't blame me.

When Lin Yi heard this, he waved his hands quickly, his face full of guilt, and replied sincerely:

"No, I should be the one apologizing to you. It's all our fault for being careless and reckless. We destroyed the wooden house that held so many precious memories for you and Ms. Guangmei. That wooden house meant so much to you, but we... we really regret it."

Gardevoir pursed its lips and shook its head slowly, its soft green hair swaying gently. It raised its head slightly and looked at Lin Yi, its tone soft but firm:

"Shainai."

No, I was the one who initiated the attack. You were just forced to fight back after being attacked. The destruction of the wooden house was purely an accident. It was my fault. How can I blame you?

Seeing that Gardevoir was obsessed with this matter, Lin Yi seemed to not want to continue arguing about who was right and who was wrong, so he changed the subject and said directly:

"If you've been worried about poachers coming back to haunt the forest, you don't have to worry anymore.

The incident in which the forest rangers in the mountain city were maliciously retaliated against by poachers caused an uproar in the alliance, was widely reported in the news, and the people were extremely indignant.

Therefore, at present, the mountain city has been the focus of the alliance. From time to time, elite trainers from the Trainer Association will come to patrol. If the poachers make any movement, they will be quickly detected and caught. The possibility of poachers appearing here has basically been eliminated. "

"Shauna?"

There was a hint of surprise and surprise in Gardevoir's eyes, and she asked softly.

Is that so? That's great. For so many years, I have been worried that those greedy people would come back and destroy this pure land. Now I can finally rest a little.

"This is all thanks to you."

Lin Yi looked at Gardevoir with admiration,

"If you hadn't guarded this forest tirelessly and fearlessly for more than a decade, resisted the attacks of poachers again and again, and endured countless lonely and dangerous days and nights, I can't imagine what this forest would have become. The hardships here are unimaginable to others."

"Shauna?"

Gardevoir was slightly startled, turned to look at the tombstone, looked a little dazed, and muttered to himself.

Ten years? It turns out that she has been away from me for more than ten years without me noticing...

Time flies so fast, but every moment I spent with her in the past is still vivid in my mind, as if it were yesterday.

Tears glistened in its eyes, hiding endless longing.

Lin Yi and the pterosaur looked at each other in tacit understanding, and both caught a trace of reluctance and determination in each other's eyes. Then, Lin Yi took a deep breath, walked forward slowly with a solemn look but firm steps, stopped in front of Gardevoir, and asked softly:

"You want me to help you move Ms. Guangmei's tombstone, right? You should have a desired burial place in mind. Why don't you tell me where you want Ms. Guangmei to be placed?"

Gardevoir nodded slightly, its eyes full of sincerity and trust. After a moment of silence, it raised its head slightly and looked into the distance, as if it was lost in distant memories. Its tone was calm and a little melancholy, and it slowly said,

"Shanai..."

I remember that she once mentioned casually before she died that she had a single mother who raised her with great difficulty.

I have never set foot in an area inhabited by humans, and I was completely confused about that unfamiliar area and had no idea how to find my way.

So, I hope you can make this trip on my behalf and solemnly hand over her remains and those relics that retain her scent to her mother, so that she can put an end to her unfulfilled concerns during her lifetime.

When Lin Yi heard this, his brows knitted tightly together, and he looked troubled. After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"Ms. Guangmei's mother? This mountain town is not big, but it's not small either. Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Does she have any distinctive features? Or what does her family do for a living? Knowing these will at least give us some clues."

Upon hearing this, Gardevoir stood quietly where she was, like a sculpture in deep thought, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

After a long while, it seemed to have finally fished out those vague clues from the depths of its memory, and slowly spoke:

"Shainai."

Its gaze is focused and its tone is firm.

She said that her family runs a B&B business.

"B&B?"

Lin Yi was stunned at first, and the scene of the B&B where he stayed last night flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be the same one?

Is there really such a coincidence in this world? Before he could think about it, Gardevoir added:

"Shainai."

She also said with a smile that according to her description, the layout, service and other aspects of the B&B were all top-notch and could be called top-notch.

But the only flaw is that the sound insulation effect is extremely poor, and guests are always disturbed by various noises at night. Because of this, the reputation of the B&B has been damaged and business has been lukewarm.

Lin Yi: "..."

What a coincidence?

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked helpless. In his heart, he was certain that it was most likely the auntie who stayed at the B&B last night.

This wonderful and regrettable coincidence seemed like a deliberate arrangement by the invisible hand of fate. For a moment he didn't know whether to feel emotional or sigh. He could only silently plan the next difficult but meaningful task in his heart.
