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

"What happened here?"

Dean Liu was busy in the kitchen. Hearing the noise outside, she took off her apron out of curiosity and hurried out.

This was a shocking sight, as Tiger Blazing and Riolu were sitting on the ground with their heads hung and looking listless, like two children who had made mistakes.

A group of wild Pokémon formed a "defense circle". They were shaking with fear and their little paws were trembling constantly, but they mustered up their courage and used their small bodies to block Tigerbilly and Riolu. Their eyes were full of vigilance and they would not allow Lin Yi to get close at all.

"Grandma Liu, it's nothing serious."

Li Ye hurried forward with a gentle smile on his face and explained in a soft voice, trying to calm Dean Liu and tell her not to worry too much.

Lin Yi stood there, brows furrowed, his eyes scanning back and forth at the chaotic scene before finally fixing on the bag on the ground.

He glanced at the food in the bag. He recognized the style and color of the dishes at a glance. They were obviously made by himself.

For a moment, he felt his temples throbbing. He pinched his Jingming acupoints to feel a slight headache, feeling helpless and annoyed.

"So, you guys usually put all your leftovers into bags and bring them here?"

Lin Yi suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice.

"Leo..."

Riolu was so frightened that it didn't dare to breathe. It secretly glanced at Lin Yi's face.

Seeing his angry face, she nodded slightly and cautiously, her head almost lowering to the ground.

This stirred up a hornet's nest. Lin Yi went berserk instantly. His face flushed red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he roared loudly:

"Are you kidding me?! You are wasting food!!!"

When the Pokémons saw this, they all spoke up to defend them, shouting and saying that they ate all the food that Tiger and Little Oulu brought and never wasted anything.

"I'm not talking about wasting, I'm talking about spoiling!"

Lin Yi felt as if his dignity as a cook had been greatly challenged. He took a few steps forward and pointed at the bag on the ground. He became more and more agitated and roared loudly again.

"Won't the food get cold if we do this? Also, putting different kinds of food together randomly will not only mix their flavors, but also make the original delicious food look weird! Do you know how much effort I put into making these dishes?"

When Lin Yi thought about the meal he had carefully prepared not being enjoyed in the best condition, he was filled with anger and his hands were shaking slightly.

Lin Yi's rampage was like a storm, and the wild Pokémon that were originally protecting Tigerblade and Riolu were so scared that they lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

The children around were frightened and their faces turned pale. They hid behind Dean Liu and Li Ye in panic, only poking their little heads out and looking around timidly.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He turned around, bowed respectfully to Dean Liu, and said sincerely:

"Dean, can I borrow the kitchen here? As a reward, I will help you cook and make sure everyone has a hot and delicious meal."

"Yes, yes."

Dean Liu smiled and pointed to the kitchen.

"I just prepared the ingredients. You can use them all. If you need anything, just tell me."

"Thank you very much. Gardevoir, come and help."

Lin Yi looked at Dean Liu gratefully, then called Gardevoir.

"Shainai."

Gardevoir responded elegantly, and followed Lin Yi gracefully towards the kitchen.

Lin Yi and Gardevoir walked into the kitchen. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down before he began to check the ingredients that Dean Liu had prepared.

The fresh vegetables were emerald green, the various meats were attractive in color, and the grains exuded a fragrant aroma. The quality of the ingredients made Lin Yi nod with satisfaction.

He rolled up his sleeves and picked up the knife skillfully. "Click, click, click!" The vegetables were quickly cut into even small pieces in his hands. Gardevoir on the side also cooperated tacitly, using its superpowers to gently lift the ingredients and placed them in an orderly manner on a plate on the side.

Lin Yi lit the fire and poured oil. When the oil temperature was just right, he put the vegetables into the pot.

In an instant, a cheerful "sizzling" sound was heard in the kitchen, and the aroma spread.

Outside, the Blazing Roaring Tiger quietly raised its head, feeling guilty and curious, and secretly looked into the kitchen. Seeing Lin Yi busy and focused, it scratched its head and whispered to Riolu:

"Crack."

I think I really pissed him off this time, but he looks pretty handsome when he cooks.

Riolu nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The children's curiosity gradually overwhelmed their fear. They poked their heads out from behind the adults, looked towards the kitchen with sparkling eyes, and whispered about the delicious food that was about to come out of the oven.

Dean Liu and Li Ye smiled at each other, and the tense atmosphere in the air quietly dissipated.

Soon, Lin Yi and Gardevoir came out carrying plates of steaming dishes, including colorful stir-fried dishes, fragrant and mellow stews, and uniquely shaped dim sum.

The Pokémon's noses reacted first, and they gathered around, forgetting all their fear.

The children also ran forward with joy, their eyes full of greed.

Lin Yi looked at everyone's reactions and finally smiled. He greeted them:

"Everyone, try it now, eat it while it's hot."

As he spoke, he looked at Blazing Roaring Tiger and Riolu, with a bit of reproach in his eyes, "You must eat well this time, don't waste it again."

Blazing Roaring Tiger and Riolu nodded hurriedly, picked up the plates and started to eat voraciously.

Everyone sat together, enjoying the delicious food prepared by Lin Yi with constant laughter.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger and Riolu ate until their bellies were full. They burped contentedly, looked at each other, then quietly stood up and took small steps towards Lin Yi.

“Kaaaaaa…”

The Blazing Roaring Tiger spoke first, with a hint of flattery and regret in his voice.

Boss, it's all our fault today. We got carried away and packed up the food without considering the consequences.

Not only did the food get cold, but it also smelled bad. Please be magnanimous and don't bear grudges. Don't be angry with us anymore.

"Boss?"

When Lin Yi heard this strange yet intimate name, he was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and rubbed his head with his big furry paws, "Kaaaah."

I saw this name on TV a few days ago. I felt it was so domineering and cool that I had been thinking about it in my mind. Today, I got excited and called it out.

Riolu also nodded repeatedly, tugged at the corner of Lin Yi's clothes with his little paws, blinked his big eyes, and looked at him eagerly.

Lin Yi looked at their pitiful appearance and snorted in pretend anger:

"Humph, I'll let you off this time, but if it happens again, it won't be so easy to get away with it next time!"

At this point, he paused, his tone softened slightly, and he looked at them with a soft look in his eyes.

"I am your trainer. I not only lead you to fight and grow, but I also hope that you can discuss anything with me honestly. I will not restrict you. We are a team and we must face problems together. Do you understand?"

"Kaao..." The Blazing Roaring Tiger nodded heavily.

"Leo..." Riolu also responded, his voice full of obedience.

After the children finished their meal contentedly, their excitement not only did not subside, but became even stronger.

They immediately crowded around Li Ye and Lin Yi, holding onto their clothes tightly with both hands, their big eyes full of anticipation, and insisted that they tell them the exciting stories of Pokémon battles.

Lin Yi and Li Ye looked at each other helplessly, but their eyes were full of doting.

They smiled at each other, found a spacious place in the yard filled with afterglow, sat down, and started talking to each other.

When it came to the exciting and thrilling parts, the children's eyes were as big as bells, their mouths opened wide, and they let out exclamations from time to time. The sounds that came one after another were full of curiosity and yearning.

The Pokémons were also attracted by the excitement and gathered around, squatting aside and listening attentively. From time to time, they would exclaim in amazement along with the children, as if they were also immersed in the memories of those exciting battles.

Gardevoir stood gracefully by the side, watching this heartwarming scene quietly with a smile on her face.

From time to time, it would display its superpowers and light up a few soft little lights. The orange-yellow light was like stars, illuminating the gradually darkening yard, keeping this small world shrouded in warmth and peace.

Before we knew it, it was getting dark and the dark blue night sky was slowly spreading out like a huge piece of silk.

Seeing this, Lin Yi slowly stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

The two Pokémon that had been lying nearby noticed Lin Yi's movements, hung their heads, slowly stood up, and followed behind with heavy steps.

They looked back every few steps, gazing longingly at their little friends in the yard, and it was obvious that they were reluctant to leave so early.

"When we have time, let's come often."

Lin Yi was a man of meticulous mind, and he saw through their thoughts at a glance. He spoke softly, with a hint of soothing in his voice.

When the two Pokémon heard this, their eyes lit up and they immediately became energetic. They ran forward happily and surrounded Lin Yi.
