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

"Hello."

Lin Yi plucked up his courage and greeted Mewtwo.

When Chaomeng heard Lin Yi's greeting, he slowly turned his head, and his eyes looked at Lin Yi without any scruples.

Its eyes were sharp and deep, as if it could see through Lin Yi's every thought, making Lin Yi feel as if he was under the spotlight, and he was very uncomfortable.

Mewtwo did not respond to Lin Yi's greeting. A mysterious and powerful aura lingered around him, and he just looked at him quietly.

The sea breeze whistled around the island and the waves beat against the beach. In this slightly silent atmosphere, Mewtwo's voice suddenly rang in Lin Yi's mind. The voice was cold and emotionless, yet extremely clear.

[Are you Lin Guochang's son?]

"Hey?"

Lin Yi was stunned, his face full of surprise, his eyes widened instantly, and there was a gleam of doubt in his eyes.

"You know my dad?"

He never expected that Mewtwo would actually mention his father, which made him have countless questions in his mind.

[Well, he used to often discuss with me his so-called rebellious son.]

Mewtwo's voice sounded again, and the words "rebellious son" echoed in Lin Yi's mind with a hint of ridicule.

Lin Yi: "..."

Lin Yi's expression froze instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Mada?"

Manaphy, who had been sleeping soundly in Lin Yi's arms, now opened her eyes drowsily.

There was still some sleepiness in its round eyes, but when it saw Lin Yi clearly in front of it, it instantly perked up, just like a baby seeing its mother. It waved its little hands excitedly and made cheerful noises.

However, in the next second, Manaphy seemed to have noticed something unusual. Its originally cheerful movements suddenly stopped, and its little head slowly turned in a certain direction. Its eyes were full of confusion and curiosity, and it just stared blankly, as if attracted by some mysterious power.

Then, something unexpected happened.

Manaphy broke free from Lin Yi's arms and jumped into the sea with a splash, creating a circle of small water splashes.

"Manaphy?!"

Lin Yi was horrified and couldn't help but scream out, his face full of worry and anxiety.

His eyes were fixed on the sea, and his hands subconsciously stretched forward, as if trying to grab Manaphy.

"Ma!"

After a while, Manaphy emerged from the sea and waved at Lin Yi again, as if to signal Lin Yi to follow it.

Then it dived into the sea again, leaving behind only a circle of ripples that gradually spread.

"Manaphy should be taking us to the Sea Temple. Only it knows the way."

Xia Nantian witnessed this scene, touched his chin thoughtfully, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He turned his head slightly to look at Lin Yi and asked, "Do you have a water Pokémon?"

"Yes, because we are going to the Bermuda Triangle, I brought Gyarados with me."

Lin Yi thought of Gyarados's listless appearance, and a trace of helplessness flashed across his face.

"But it's not in good condition right now. Not to mention taking me to the sea, it can't even fight."

"Not in good condition?" Xia Nantian frowned slightly, then nodded.

"Okay, just follow my Pokémon."

As he spoke, he quickly took out a Poké Ball and threw it hard. A ray of light flashed, and a very gorgeous sea lion appeared in front of everyone.

"The Lion Sea Ren."

Xia Nantian shouted to Xishi Hairen.

The Sea Lion understood what the trainer said and nodded knowingly. Then he took a deep breath and blew out a bubble with a diameter of more than two meters through his nose.

The bubble is crystal clear and reflects colorful light under the sunlight.

The bubble slowly floated towards Lin Yi, wrapping him firmly inside.

"This way you can breathe underwater, and the bubbles have a certain toughness, so they won't break in normal collisions,"

Xia Nantian stepped forward, looked at Lin Yi with concern, and reminded him again,

"But still be careful, the situation underwater is very complicated."

[Coming.]

Mewtwo's voice suddenly rang in everyone's mind, and the tone contained an unprecedented alertness that instantly froze the air.

The superpower fluctuations around it slightly increased, and its originally calm eyes were now staring into the distance, as if it could see through the layers of waves and capture any signs of danger.

"So fast?"

Xia Nantian's face suddenly turned gloomy, his brows were tightly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

"Hercules, take him away."

He gave orders to the Sea Lion decisively, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"Brother Xia, why don't you come with us?"

Lin Yi's face was filled with anxiety. He had just learned from Xia Nantian that the two forces that wanted to take Manaphy away were mainly Lao Mei and the Hunter Association.

Not to mention the Hunter Association, Lao Mei's side sent out the champion and two of the Four Heavenly Kings. Xia Nantian was no match for the opponent if he confronted them head-on.

"They were able to find us in such a short time, so they must have some way to locate us."

Xia Nantian looked solemn and looked at Lin Yi with a firm gaze.

"And Manaphy has found the way to the Sea Temple. We need someone to stay behind to buy time. Otherwise, being passive will only push us to a dead end."

His voice was steady and powerful, yet it carried a hint of determination that could not be refused.

"Then let Mewtwo stay and help you."

Lin Yi looked at Mewtwo eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.

[I refuse. My agreement with him does not include fighting.]

Mewtwo's response was firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

It raised its head slightly, with an indifferent expression, as if it had no interest in the upcoming battle.

"You saw it too."

Xia Nantian shrugged helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face.

"But don't worry. If you can take Manaphy to the Sea Temple and let it gain its own power, you will be able to save me in time."

He tried to comfort Lin Yi, but there was a hint of tragedy in his eyes.

"What if it's too late?"

Lin Yi's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of fear and uneasiness.

"Then just die, it's no big deal."

Lin Yi: "???"

What a big deal.

"I know, don't die!"

Lin Yi had mixed feelings, anxiety and worry intertwined, but his reason told him that this was not the time to hesitate.

He nodded vigorously, as if to cheer himself up, and as if to make a promise to Xia Nantian.

The sea lion jumped onto the shore with swift and agile movements. It gently patted the bubble on the outer layer of Lin Yi with its tail. The bubble seemed to be given life and slowly floated into the sea with Lin Yi.

With a "splash" sound, water splashed everywhere and Lin Yi was thrown into the azure sea.

The sea lion quickly dived into the water, used its nose to steadily support the bubble that wrapped Lin Yi, and gradually went deeper into the deep seabed.

Mewtwo is surrounded by a layer of light blue supernatural light, which acts like a protective film, wrapping it tightly.

Its eyes were cold and deep, without a trace of emotion, and it dived silently into the seabed with elegant and mysterious movements.

Xia Nantian stood silently on the shore, following Lin Yi closely with his eyes until his figure completely disappeared in the vast sea.

He took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, trying to calm his inner tension and anxiety.

Then he slowly raised his head and looked at the approaching helicopter.
