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

In the quiet darkness, Lin Yi woke up slowly and regained consciousness.

He only felt a warm and slight movement in his chest, as if something alive was gently moving.

His eyelids slowly lifted, with sleepiness still lingering in his eyes. In the dim light, he saw a round Manaphy emitting a soft blue light lying on his chest, its small body rising and falling with its even breathing, and it was sleeping soundly.

Lin Yi stood up quietly, trying to move as lightly as possible, for fear of disturbing Manaphy in his arms.

He carefully held Manaphy in his arms and began to look around.

What comes into view is rough and uneven stone walls. The air is filled with a faint damp smell, mixed with the smell of soil and rock. Obviously, this is a cave.

Lin Yi's mind was in a mess, and he tried hard to recall what had happened before.

He only remembered that he was on a quiet beach, the waves were gently lapping against the sand, and the sea breeze blew against his face with the unique salty smell of the sea.

But as for what happened afterwards, his memory seemed to be cut off abruptly, leaving a blank.

"woke up?"

Just when Lin Yi was full of doubts and at a loss, a low and magnetic voice came from the entrance of the cave.

Lin Yi looked up suddenly and saw a man in a black cloak walking into the cave with steady steps.

His figure seemed a little blurry under the light from the cave entrance, and only a tall and upright outline could be seen.

As the man gradually approached, the light illuminated his face. The moment Lin Yi saw the other person clearly, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of shock and disbelief. Even the subconscious action of hiding Manaphy froze in place.

"Xia Nantian...champion?"

"Hello, I remember your name is... Lin Yi, right? Lin Guochang's son. I paid attention to the previous Little Phoenix King Cup."

Xia Nantian's mouth corners slightly raised, with a friendly smile on his face. As he spoke, he casually threw an object over.

Lin Yi subconsciously reached out to take it, and felt a familiar texture. He took a closer look and found that it was his own Poké Ball.

"So, why are you in such a dangerous place like the Bermuda Triangle?"

Xia Nantian raised his eyebrows slightly, looking straight at Lin Yi with a bit of inquiry in his eyes.

This question was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Yi's heart, making him silent instantly, with a complicated expression flashing across his face.

However, before he could organize his words to answer, Xia Nantian raised his hand and waved it gently, interrupting the words he was about to say.

"But, I didn't ask, I just have a small request."

Xia Nantian changed the subject, still with a gentle smile on his face.

"ask?"

Lin Yi frowned in confusion, his eyes full of puzzlement. He subconsciously hugged Manaphy tightly in his arms, secretly guessing what Xia Nantian would say next.

"Yes."

Xia Nantian nodded affirmatively, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand, pretending to hug Manaphy.

Although Lin Yi was somewhat confused, he still cooperated subconsciously and handed over the sleeping Manaphy in his arms.

But who could have thought that something unexpected would happen.

"Ma Da! Ma Da!"

Manaphy, who was originally sleeping soundly, seemed to be disturbed by something the moment he came into contact with Xia Nantian. His little body trembled violently, and then he started crying, his voice sharp and rapid.

This sudden situation made Xia Nantian suddenly at a loss, and the smile on his face froze. He could only return the Manaphy with a helpless look on his face.

Lin Yi quickly took Manaphy, patted its back gently, and hummed an unknown tune.

Miraculously, with Lin Yi's comfort, Manaphy's emotions gradually calmed down, and he leaned in Lin Yi's arms and fell asleep peacefully again.

Xia Nantian looked at this scene, spread his hands helplessly, smiled bitterly and said:

"As you can see, Manaphy seems to recognize only you."

Lin Yi pondered for a while, raised his eyes to look at Xia Nantian, and asked seriously:

"What do you need from me, Mr. Champion?"

"Don't call me sir. Your father is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of China. He can be said to be my colleague."

Xia Nantian waved his hand, still with that warm smile on his face.

"What do you call it?"

Lin Yi tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of confusion.

"Call me brother."

As Xia Nantian spoke, he shook his cloak and laughed heartily.

When Lin Yi heard this, a trace of confusion flashed across his face, and then he silently calculated the seniority in his mind.

Isn't this confusing the generations? You and my dad are of the same generation, and I call you brother. Then how should I address my dad? From Lao Deng to Lao Di?

Hiss...it seems that it is not impossible.

"Brother Xia, what do you need me to do?"

Lin Yi blinked, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes and a sincere tone in his voice.

"Ah."

Seeing Lin Yi's understanding, Xia Nantian smiled with satisfaction and nodded gently. His eyes slowly fell on Manaphy, who was sleeping peacefully in Lin Yi's arms, and a subtle complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Do you know the specific origins of Manaphy?"

Xia Nantian narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

"The prince of the sea?"

Lin Yi tilted his head slightly and asked back.

When Xia Nantian heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked at Lin Yi carefully and thought to himself that considering that Lin Yi's mother was a famous doctor in China, it was reasonable for her to know some relevant information.

"It seems that you know it well, so I won't explain any more. I need you to send Manaphy to the Sea Temple safely."

Xia Nantian's expression became serious, and his tone was filled with unquestionable firmness.

"The Temple of the Sea?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion. This strange place aroused his strong curiosity.

"Yes, I will keep you safe."

Xia Nantian patted his chest and made a promise to Lin Yi, with determination in his eyes.

"What will you do if you arrive at the Sea Temple?"

Lin Yi probed cautiously, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He stared closely at Xia Nantian's eyes, trying to catch a clue from his expression.

Lin Yi didn't know why Xia Nantian was in the Bermuda Triangle, but from his tone, it seemed that he came for Manaphy.

To be precise, it was for the Sea Temple owned by Manaphy. Although Xia Nantian, as the champion of China, was worthy of recognition, who could guarantee that he would not have evil intentions towards Manaphy after finding the Sea Temple?

"You don't have to worry about that."

Xia Nantian seemed to see through Lin Yi's thoughts. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

"Do you know the Water People? They are..."

Xia Nantian was just about to explain.

"A race that entered the ocean and lived with water Pokémon, and later built a sea temple to thank these Pokémon, including Manaphy, and the ocean for its kindness?"

Lin Yi gave the answer before Xia Nantian could.

This made Xia Nantian stunned. His eyes widened with disbelief on his face, his mouth slightly open, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"How do you know this? This information should be confidential. Could it be that you are the last remaining descendant of the Water People?"

Xia Nantian's eyes were full of doubt and curiosity. Lin Yi's father, Lin Guochang, appeared in his mind. He was one of the Four Heavenly Kings who specialized in water. Could he be a member of the Water People? But he had never heard him mention it.

"I'm not."

Lin Yi shook his head, his tone very affirmative.

"Then how do you know?"

Xia Nantian chased after him relentlessly, with curiosity in his eyes growing stronger.

"emmm..."

Lin Yi pondered for a while, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he said tentatively,

"Arzeus appeared in my dream?"

"..."

When Xia Nantian heard this, the expression on his face froze instantly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Lin Yi speechlessly.

as long as you are happy.

While on a mission, I ran into a colleague's child and was speechless. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hold it in.
