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

On the vast ocean, a ship as huge as a giant beast is moving forward steadily and slowly. The hull cuts through the sea surface, stirring up layers of white water splashing in all directions.

On the hull, the graphic of a flying ball fish is lifelike, as if a real giant flying ball fish is swimming among the blue waves.

This lifelike pattern attracted a group of wild small flying fish, which gathered together as if they had heard a mysterious call.

These wild flying fish swayed their bodies nimbly and approached the boat, their eyes full of curiosity and confusion.

They looked at each other and whispered to each other, wondering why this "kind" was so huge and felt cold to the touch. No matter how enthusiastically they greeted it, they got no response at all.

"Quack, quack, quack——"

At the same time, a group of long-winged gulls circled in the sky, making bursts of noisy calls, as if playing a noisy aerial music.

Their sharp eyes were fixed on the small ball Flying Fish below. Some of them were particularly brave, and when the opportunity came, they leaned over and rushed to the deck.

In an instant, there was a cry of surprise on the deck, and the food in people's hands instantly became the target of these "air pirates".

"what!"

Mi Yu was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed. The French fries in her hand were snatched away by a long-winged gull in the blink of an eye.

The long-winged gull grabbed the French fry and flapped its wings triumphantly, trying to escape quickly.

"Momo!"

Ditto had been paying attention to the movements here. Seeing this, its originally soft and shape-shifting body quickly twisted and deformed, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a majestic and brave eagle. It flapped its wings and flew high without hesitation, chasing in the direction of the fleeing long-winged gull.

The Buzzing Bat was not to be outdone. It rapidly vibrated its unique wings, making a "buzzing" sound, and formed an encirclement with Ditto, rushing away from another direction.

The two cooperated seamlessly and launched a fierce chase in the air.

Seeing that it was in a desperate situation and couldn't escape, the long-winged gull cunningly threw the French fries directly into the sea.

Now, even if they get it back, they can't eat it, which makes Ditto and Buzzbat very angry.

They sped up, waited for the right moment, and together they caught the hateful long-winged gull, brought it back to the deck, and beat it mercilessly to vent their hatred.

"Ditto, Buzzbat, stop it!"

Mi Yu was extremely anxious and rushed over at a trot, opening his arms, trying to stop his two angry Pokémon.

Hearing Mi Yu's anxious call, Ditto and Buzzbat stopped what they were doing with a snort.

They looked at each other, the anger in their eyes not yet completely extinguished.

Fortunately, he knew what to do. He just wanted to teach this annoying long-winged gull a lesson so that it would not dare to steal other people's food again.

"Are you okay? Don't do this next time. This is for you."

Mi Yu completely ignored the long-winged gull's vigilant gaze. She bent down slightly, supported her knees, and slowly squatted down.

The slender fingers gently reached into the pocket, fumbled for a moment, and took out a round and plump fruit.

The long-winged gull tilted its head, its eyes moving back and forth between the rice bath and the fruits. After hesitating for a long while, it tentatively stretched out its pointed beak and gently picked up the fruit.

Seeing that Mi Yu not only did not make any move to take back the fruit, but instead raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a warm and gentle smile, it finally felt relieved. With a "whoosh", it flapped its wings and flew away quickly with the fruit in its mouth.

Mi Yu straightened up, with a look of loss in her eyes. She stared at the direction where the long-winged gull flew away for a long time, pursed her lips subconsciously, and whispered softly:

"What a pity, those are the French fries that Lin Yi fried..."

"Here."

At this moment, a bag of French fries, still emitting tempting hot steam, suddenly appeared in front of Mi Yu out of thin air, held steadily by a white and tender little hand and handed to her.

Mi Yu was startled by this sudden action. His body trembled violently and he turned around quickly. Only then did he realize that Ruan Yaoyao had been standing beside him quietly without him noticing.

"I'll give you my fries."

Ruan Yaoyao smiled as beautifully as a flower, with a friendly light flashing in her eyes.

Mi Yu, like a frightened deer, shook his head in panic and said repeatedly:

"No, no, no, this is given to you by Lin Yi. I just finished my meal, and I don't really want to eat this."

In fact, the aroma of French fries had already penetrated her nostrils, making her taste buds stir.

Ruan Yaoyao seemed not to have heard Mi Yu's refusal. She just took out another small packet of ketchup from her pocket, shook it, tilted her head and asked:

"Would you like ketchup?"

Mi Yu paused slightly, his eyes met Ruan Yaoyao's smiling eyes, and he nodded as if possessed by a ghost, his voice as gentle as the spring breeze:

"Then... shall we eat together?"

Ruan Yaoyao's smile became brighter and brighter, like a flower blooming in spring, and she said:

"Wouldn't it be better if it was like this earlier?"

Mi Yu and Ruan Yaoyao walked side by side on the deck, then walked to a quiet bench and slowly sat down side by side.

Ruan Yaoyao gently placed the bag of steaming French fries between the two of them. Her slender fingers nimbly tore open the ketchup package, dipped it in the sauce lightly, and then handed one to Mi Yu with a smile.

Mi Yu's cheeks flushed slightly, and with a bit of shyness and embarrassment, she gently reached out to take the French fries, slowly put it into her mouth, and took a light bite.

In an instant, the familiar and tempting taste slowly spread on the tip of her tongue, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Lin Yi's cooking skills are really good. I feel so happy every time I eat something he makes."

Mi Yu exclaimed sincerely, his eyes full of aftertaste of the delicious food and admiration for Lin Yi's cooking skills.

Ruan Yaoyao raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile, and nodded in response:

"Yes, he always makes ordinary ingredients taste so delicious that people want to eat more."

At this moment, there was a slight noise. It turned out that Ditto and Buzzbat saw the delicious food and couldn't help but come over.

Ditto's body shook and turned back into its original soft and cute appearance. It lay at Mi Yu's feet, looking up with its big round eyes, staring at the bag of French fries, its eyes full of desire.

The buzzing bat hovered in the air, vibrating its wings from time to time, making a "buzzing" sound, as if it was also eagerly looking forward to sharing this delicacy.

Mi Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw this, and fed each of them a small piece of the ginger.

Looking at the contented looks of the Pokémons, the two smiled at each other, their smiles full of warmth and joy.

"I haven't talked to you much recently. I didn't expect that today..."

Mi Yu lowered his head slightly, wanting to say something but stopping himself, with a hint of shyness and restraint in his eyes, and his fingers unconsciously entangled with the corners of his clothes.

Ruan Yaoyao seemed to be aware of her thoughts. She gently reached out her hand, patted Mi Yu's hand, and said in a gentle and playful tone:

"Let's play together more in the future. This sea trip has just begun, and there will definitely be a lot of fun things to do."

Mi Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he whispered:

"But aren't we going to the Bermuda Triangle to collect data? We're not going there for fun, and it's so dangerous there."

"It's okay. With Lin Yi here, nothing will go wrong."

Ruan Yaoyao looked confident as she threw a French fry into her mouth and talked while chewing, as if she had an almost blind trust in Lin Yi.

Mi Yu opened her mouth subconsciously, wanting to tell Ruan Yaoyao not to be careless, but looking at Ruan Yaoyao's confident look, for some reason, she nodded in agreement.

In the sky, the long-winged gull that had just snatched the French fries was circling alone. It looked at the Flying Fish that was gradually going away, with a hint of hesitation in its eyes.

After a moment, it finally threw away the fruit that Mi Yu gave it.

The falling fruits instantly attracted other long-winged gulls to scramble for them frantically. They fought with each other in the air, making bursts of noisy calls.

But the long-winged gull seemed not to hear or care at all. After getting rid of this "burden", it stretched its wings and followed firmly in the direction where the Flying Fish left.
