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

"Are you serious, kid?"

Hunter J had a suspicious look on his face, and stared at Lin Yi with a strange look, as if he wanted to find a trace of a joke on his face.

In her eyes, Lin Yi has always been a tenacious opponent. How could he suddenly agree to join the Hunter Association? This was really beyond her expectations.

"Of course it's true. I'm not lying to you. I'm going to give Three Kingdoms Killing a good review when I get back."

Lin Yi said this seriously, but he was actually extremely anxious. He just wanted to delay time as long as possible so that Manaphy could gain power smoothly.

Hunter J: “???”

Hearing this, she was completely stunned, her mind went blank, and she had no idea what Lin Yi's words about "brushing up good reviews for Three Kingdoms Kill" had to do with the current situation. These sudden words made her even more confused.

Just when Hunter J was full of doubts, a strange light suddenly flashed on the lenses of her high-tech glasses, showing some key information.

She turned back subconsciously and saw Manaphy jumping onto the mysterious stone platform.

In an instant, Manaphy's entire body was shrouded in a layer of sacred light, which was soft yet powerful, as if announcing the arrival of a great moment.

"You're stalling for time!"

Hunter J suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but exclaim. She realized that she had been tricked by Lin Yi.

"Yeah, you just noticed that?"

As Lin Yi spoke, he took advantage of Hunter J's distraction and stepped forward without hesitation, trying to delay time.

He knew that every extra second gained would give Manaphy a greater chance of gaining power.

However, the next moment——

"Roar!"

The fossil pterosaur let out a deafening roar, his voice filled with anger and unwillingness.

"Ma!"

Manaphy also shouted in grief and anger, and the childish voice echoed in the temple, carrying endless worry.

When Lin Yi heard the shout, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He slowly lowered his head, and in an instant, his pupils suddenly shrank.

He saw that his body was being petrified at a speed visible to the naked eye starting from the soles of his feet. The cold feeling spread rapidly, as if countless cold insects were gnawing at his body.

"This test subject is really unstable!"

Hunter J angrily slapped a strangely shaped device on his arm. The device flashed with electric light and made crackling sounds. It was obvious that it could no longer be used.

This is Hunter J's hidden trump card. Petrifying rays can be shot out from this device, which has the terrifying ability to instantly turn the enemy into stone statues.

However, since it was a newly developed experimental product, its performance was extremely unstable and it was basically scrapped after one use.

Originally, Hunter J was going to use this trump card against champions from major countries like Kane or Xia Nantian, but he had no choice but to use it on Lin Yi at this moment.

In just a few seconds, Lin Yi was petrified up to his waist.

He knew that his situation was precarious, and at this critical moment, he tried his best to throw the Poké Ball to the ground as quickly as possible.

He knew that he couldn't let his Pokémon suffer the same fate, they were his companions and he had to protect them.

"Dong dong dong."

The sound of Poké Balls falling to the ground one after another seemed particularly clear in this tense atmosphere.

"Ma!"

Manaphy looked at Lin Yi who was gradually petrified, tears welled up in his eyes, and his voice was full of sadness.

"Don't be sad, Manaphy. Accept the power with peace of mind."

Lin Yi endured the severe pain in his body and the fear in his heart, and looked at Manaphy with tears in her eyes with a smile on his face.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calmer.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine..."

Although he himself knew that this sentence was more to comfort Manaphy.

After saying this, Lin Yi was completely petrified and turned into a lifelike stone statue, frozen in that moment.

"Ma!"

Manaphy let out a cry of grief, its body trembling slightly with sorrow.

"Roar!"

The Pterosaur roared again, with flames of anger burning in its eyes. It rushed towards Hunter J's Pokémon desperately, trying to avenge Lin Yi.

However, the attack of the Tyrannosaurus forced the Pterosaur to stop. Before, the Pterosaur was dragging the Tyrannosaurus, but now the Tyrannosaurus is dragging the Pterosaur.

The light on Manaphy became increasingly dazzling, as if it would illuminate the entire temple.

It felt Lin Yi's sacrifice and understood the mission it was carrying.

"Damn it, stop it!"

Hunter J was extremely anxious when she saw this, for she knew that once Manaphy gained full power, the situation would get completely out of control.

She threw the Poké Ball without hesitation, and an agile Master Itachi instantly appeared in the temple, rushing towards Manaphy like a white lightning.

Manaphy took one last look at the petrified Lin Yi, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly closed his eyes.

It no longer hesitated and immersed itself in the process of absorbing the energy of the temple.

The mysterious and powerful energy in the temple continuously flows into Manaphy's body, and the divine power that belongs exclusively to the Prince of the Sea is slowly reviving.

……

The sea breeze was howling and the waves were hitting the side of the ship, making a dull and rhythmic sound.

Ruan Yaoyao stood on the deck, the sea breeze blowing her hair wantonly.

She held her chest tightly, her brows tightly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and looked at the endless sea, her eyes full of confusion and worry.

"it's wired……"

She murmured to herself, her voice a little broken by the sea breeze.

"Why do I have this indescribable feeling of sadness?"

This feeling came without warning, as if the deepest part of my heart was gently touched by an invisible thread, and sourness and sadness spread involuntarily.

"You feel that way too?"

Mi Yu beside him also had a worried look on her face. Her voice was soft, yet a little uneasy.

There was confusion in Mi Yu's eyes, and his gaze towards the sea seemed to want to penetrate the endless waves and find the source of this inexplicable sadness.

"Mi Yu, you are also... like this."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Yaoyao turned her head to look at Mi Yu in surprise. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded silently.

There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two, and this unspeakable sadness closely connected their hearts.

"Where on earth is Lin Yi? I don't know if this guy can be trusted."

Ruan Yaoyao's thoughts returned to Lin Yi again. She sighed slightly, her eyes full of worry.

She turned around and looked at Yu Xuan, who was wolfing down the leftover dessert that Lin Yi had made on the deck, and a look of disgust instantly appeared on her face.

This Yu Xuan had attacked them before, so he was definitely not a trustworthy person.

But he swore that Lin Yi must have been teleported to the Bermuda Triangle by Manaphy, and he insisted on going with him.
