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

"How can there be such a shameless duck?"

While Lin Yi carefully put the hard-earned green onions into his bag, he glared at the Onion Duck that was still showing its fangs and claws.

Damn, if eating Pokémon wasn't illegal, this duck would have been in his pot long ago.

"quack?!"

The Farfetch'd Ducky seemed to have sensed the hostility in Lin Yi's eyes, and alarm bells rang in its heart. Sensing the danger, it instantly struggled violently, flapping its wings and kicking its legs, trying to break free from the uneasy restraints.

"Let it go."

Lin Yi waved at the blazing roaring tiger, signaling it to let go.

Upon hearing this, the Blazing Roaring Tiger loosened its powerful claws.

As soon as the Onion Duck was free, it didn't waste even a second and immediately pounced towards Lin Yi's backpack with its teeth and claws bared, aiming directly at the onion that it had been thinking about so much.

Fortunately, the Blazing Tiger reacted quickly, took a step forward, and used its huge body to block Farfetch'd firmly in front of it, preventing its "raid".

Looking at the extremely persistent Onion Duck in front of him, Lin Yi sighed helplessly. He leaned over and reached out to the ground to pick up the onion that the Onion Duck originally had.

"Gah!"

As soon as the Onion Duck saw its onion being picked up, it stopped attacking instantly, rushed forward, picked up the onion, and then flapped its wings hard, running away into the depths of the forest in a panic.

After a while, it disappeared into the dense woods, leaving only Lin Yi and the Blazing Roaring Tiger standing there, looking in the direction it left.

Lin Yi picked up the bag, but the heavy touch did not bring him much joy.

He shook it gently, and some slight collision sounds came from the bag, which were particularly clear in the silent forest.

“Only this onion…”

He sighed, his voice full of helplessness.

When I opened the package, there were some scattered mushrooms, tree fruits, and the green onion that I had finally obtained after many twists and turns.

This vast mountain forest should be rich in resources and have countless edible things.

But as a trainer, Lin Yi has his own bottom line in his heart. He must not harm wild Pokémon or affect their survival, which makes the available food very limited.

In order to find these ingredients, he had been running around in the mountains and forests for a long time, his legs were a little sore, but the harvest was not satisfactory.

"Let's go check on Manaphy and see what's going on. If things don't work out, we can only go back and eat instant noodles..."

Lin Yi talked to himself while looking into the distance.

Blazing Roaring Tiger made a low sound in response, and followed behind him, the man and the Pokémon walked towards the river.

At this time, a strange scene was taking place beside a winding river.

Countless water-type Pokémon gathered together, crowding the originally spacious river into a mess.

What is amazing is that there is no conflict or fighting here, everything seems so harmonious.

Even the wild bass of different colors, which usually get along with each other and fight at every turn, are now staying together quietly, their eyes all focused on a little blue guy in the middle of the river.

This little guy is Manaphy. Its small body exudes a unique charm, as if it has an invisible power that makes the surrounding Pokémon respect it.

I saw the water Pokémon lined up, coming forward one by one, and respectfully placing their stored food on the shore, as if they were performing a solemn worship ceremony.

Prince of the sea? Even the river is under the control of the sea!

As the Prince of Water, Manaphy will be greeted by countless water Pokémon no matter which river he goes to.

It simply explained why it needed food, and in a moment, the food piled up on the shore was like a small mountain, with a wide variety of food.

By the sparkling river, water Pokémon lined up in an orderly manner, like devout believers, paying tribute to the noble Manaphy.

The afternoon sun shines on the water, reflecting their colorful and bright colors, adding a sacred atmosphere to this unique ceremony.

A sturdy Mariluri came skipping over with two chubby Mariloos, holding tightly in their arms the fruits they had painstakingly collected over the past days, and carefully placed them in front of Manaphy.

The skin of these fruits has an attractive luster, obviously they have been carefully selected.

Manaphy's lively big eyes curved into crescents, and she smiled and waved at them to express her gratitude.

This simple action made the three water mice so excited that they lost themselves in joy. They cheered and jumped on their short legs, splashing circles of joyful water.

In comparison, the lobster next to it seems a bit out of place.

It looked around in confusion, its two huge pincers opening and closing unconsciously. It was obviously unprepared for the tribute, after all, it had no habit of storing food.

Just when it was full of doubts, its eyes fell on the Slowpoke who was in a daze not far away.

In an instant, the lobster seemed to have thought of something. Its originally dull eyes suddenly brightened, and a hint of cunning flashed in its eyes.

It quickly moved its body, approached Slowpoke, stretched out a sharp pincer, and placed it firmly at the base of Slowpoke's tail.

There was a crisp "click" sound, which seemed particularly abrupt on the quiet riverside, and the tail of the Slowpoke was cut off.

The lobster looked very righteous and placed the tail on the food pile.

"stay?"

Slowpoke still had that dull expression on its face. It slowly turned its head, and its movements were so slow that it looked like a slow motion shot that had been slowed down several times.

When it finally turned its head, a magical thing happened. Its tail had begun to grow again before it felt any pain, and the new tail emerged little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Mada?"

When Manaphy saw this scene, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

It looked at the tail on the pile of food, which was still warm and emitting a faint fishy smell, and stood there for a while, at a loss.

Although I've heard Lin Yi mention before that Slowpoke's tail often falls off naturally and can grow a new one before the pain comes, this time it was forcibly cut off by the lobster, so the nature seems to be a little different.

Manaphy's little head was in a mess. It didn't know how to deal with this special "tribute", nor did it know how to respond to the lobster's confusing behavior. It could only stand there, its eyes full of entanglement and confusion.

"rustle……"

By the quiet riverside, the breeze blows gently, and the grass makes a slight rustling sound.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by a rapid movement, and a sturdy, ferocious Fiery Roaring Tiger strode out from the bushes first.

In an instant, the water Pokémon that were originally surrounding Manaphy felt like they were facing a great enemy. They reacted quickly, protecting Manaphy tightly behind them, forming a solid line of defense.

Some of these Pokémon bared their teeth, some puffed up their cheeks, and others were ready to attack, ready to respond to possible threats at any time. Their eyes were full of vigilance as they stared at the suddenly appearing Blazing Roaring Tiger.

The Fiery Roaring Tiger was a little overwhelmed by this sudden situation. It scratched its head, a puzzled look on its face and its eyes full of confusion.

"Mana Fei?"

At this moment, Lin Yi, who was behind the Blazing Roaring Tiger, pushed aside the bushes and walked out.

He immediately saw Manaphy being gathered in the middle and couldn't help but shout.

"Ma!"

When Manaphy heard the familiar voice, her originally nervous little face suddenly lit up.

It excitedly squeezed out of the protective circle of the water Pokémon and ran towards Lin Yi.

It ran to Lin Yi's legs, pounced on him, then spread its hands, looked at Lin Yi eagerly, and kept making coquettish noises, clearly asking for a hug.
