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

With a "click", the door slowly closed, completely isolating the noise from the outside world.

Inside the house, Ruan Yaoyao was packing her luggage attentively. Her slender fingers skillfully arranged the clothes, folded them neatly one by one, and put them into the closet.

Suddenly, she seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force. Her movements paused abruptly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she keenly sensed something strange.

She slowly turned her head and looked towards the small round window. Outside the window was the endless, sparkling sea.

The sea breeze blew gently, and the waves beat rhythmically against the side of the boat, making a pleasant sound.

"Lin Yi, do you see anything over there?"

Ruan Yaoyao's voice was soft, but with a hint of nervousness and curiosity, breaking the brief silence in the room.

"Ok?"

When Lin Yi heard the call, he immediately put down the backpack he was packing and walked to the window.

Just as he approached, a petite figure suddenly came into view.

The figure floated lightly outside the boat like a dream bubble, close to the window glass, and a pair of bright big eyes stared straight at Lin Yi, with innocence and curiosity in his eyes.

Lin Yi's eyes widened, his face full of shock and joy, and he blurted out:

"You are... Jirachi?!"

"Jirachi is here, which means..."

Ruan Yaoyao widened her eyes, her gaze searching Lin Yi's face eagerly, and similar thoughts flashed through their minds at the same moment.

The next second, Ruan Yaoyao and Lin Yi looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and expectation, and then they exclaimed:

"Is Mi Yu here too?!"

……

On the slightly shaking deck, the sea breeze whistled past, carrying with it the unique salty and humid smell of the sea.

Mi Yu looked particularly frail and helpless. She held the railing tightly with both hands, and her slender fingers turned white from the force.

"Σ_(???"∠)vomit..."

A violent retching sound came from deep in her throat. Her little face was pale as paper, and the hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat and stuck to her cheeks in a messy manner.

This poor child had never had the experience of sailing on a ship. At this moment, the ship was still quietly docked in the harbor and had not yet set sail.

She was just standing on the deck, and with the slight rise and fall of the waves, she felt very uncomfortable. Her shoulders were shaking uncontrollably, as if being pulled by an invisible force.

"Momo."

Ditto, who had been following her closely, anxiously surrounded Mi Yu's feet. Its body, which could change into a thousand different shapes, was trembling slightly with worry. It kept rubbing Mi Yu's calves with its soft body, trying to give her some comfort.

The buzzing bat was circling low over Mi Yu's head, flapping its broad wings carefully, making a soft buzzing sound. Its pair of eyes as big as copper bells were filled with concern as it stared at Mi Yu closely, fearing that she might get into an accident by accident.

"I am fine."

Mi Yu shook his head stubbornly, and tried to force a smile on his pale face, trying to comfort the worried Pokémon beside him.

Just as she was about to speak to comfort Ditto and Buzzbat, a slightly larger wave suddenly hit the hull, causing the boat to shake violently.

Mi Yu suddenly felt dizzy and her face turned pale in an instant. She could no longer hold on and staggered two steps. She grabbed the railing tightly with both hands again and leaned over to retch.

[Miyu, are you okay?]

At this moment, Jirachi floated over silently like a ray of agile blue light.

It hovered beside Mi Yu, its small face full of worry, its eyes revealing deep self-blame, and it said softly:

[If only I could still make wishes, otherwise I could make a wish now to make you feel better.]

In the past, Jirachi's power of wishing could always help everyone solve their problems, but now, facing the seasick Mi Yu, it was upset because it could not make a wish temporarily.

"No, Jirachi, thank you."

Mi Yu raised his sweaty forehead and gave it a comforting look with all his strength, his voice weak but firm.

"Don't blame yourself, this isn't your fault."

[By the way, Mi Yu, guess who I saw?]

Jirachi seemed to suddenly remember something, blinked his big, lively eyes, and deliberately kept the secret.

"Who?"

Mi Yu asked cooperatively. Even though she felt uncomfortable, her curiosity was still aroused.

"Long time no see, Mi Yu."

A familiar and cordial greeting seemed to come straight into her ears through the sea breeze.

"Lin Yi? Yaoyao?"

Hearing the voice, Mi Yu's delicate body shook violently and she slowly raised her head.

In an instant, a surprisingly bright light of joy flashed in those clear eyes, like fireworks blooming brightly in the night sky, making her gloomy complexion look a little more lively.

But the light was only a flash, and she quickly lowered her head, like a frightened deer, trying to hide the emotions in her eyes in a panic, not wanting others to see the secrets in her heart. She just replied in a voice as small as a mosquito:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

There was a subtle, barely perceptible tremor in that voice, and I couldn't tell whether it was because of the seasickness or the uncontrollable excitement surging in my heart.

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao walked side by side, their figures outlined with a circle of golden edges in the sunlight, carrying a unique kind of vitality.

Mi Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, forced a weak smile, and explained:

"Professor Shang Hefeng has chosen me, and now I'm going to follow this expedition team to the Bermuda Triangle. So you guys..."

"We are going to Bermuda too."

Lin Yi casually put his hands in his trouser pockets, with a faint smile on his face, and explained casually.

"Is that so? That's great. I—ooh..."

There was still a hint of joy on Mi Yu's face, but before she could finish her words, a strong feeling of nausea came over her like a surging tide, and she couldn't help but dry-heaving again.

"Mi Yu you..."

Upon seeing this, Ruan Yaoyao hurriedly stepped forward and gently patted her on the back, her concern evident in words.

But the girl tilted her head and asked out of the blue: "Are you pregnant?"

Mi Yu seemed to be struck by lightning, and was completely stunned, with a puzzled look on his face: "???"

"This is obviously a boat ride, right?"

Lin Yi's face was full of black lines. He raised his hand and gently tapped Ruan Yaoyao's head, and said with some helplessness:

"I have some seasickness medicine in my bag. You stay here with Mi Yu. I'll go get it and be back soon."

"Oh."

Ruan Yaoyao nodded obediently like a child who had done something wrong.

Mi Yu's gaze seemed to be attracted by a magnet, following Lin Yi's back closely until the figure disappeared at the cabin entrance, and then he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"Rice bath." Ruan Yaoyao's voice broke the brief silence.

"Hmm?" Mi Yu came back to his senses, his eyes still a little dazed.

"You like Lin Yi, don't you?"

Ruan Yaoyao raised her head slightly, looking directly at Mi Yu with an inquiring expression on her face, and her tone seemed to have seen through everything.
