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

"Boom--Boom--"

Outside an ordinary rental house, Li Ye frowned tightly and knocked on the door with a worried look on his face.

Just yesterday, shortly after the school was on holiday, at noon, Zhuge An suddenly sent him a message with a very proud tone, saying that he had dug up a ginseng while training in the suburbs, and attached a picture.

At that time, Li Ye didn't pay too much attention and just replied simply.

However, unexpectedly, a whole morning passed and Zhuge An still did not show up at school.

Not only that, no matter whether I called him or sent him a message, I got no response.

At this time, Li Ye finally realized that something was wrong.

He anxiously checked the photo that Zhuge An had sent him before. In an instant, a chill went up his spine and he almost couldn't breathe.

How the hell is this ginseng? It's clearly the extremely poisonous Phytolacca!

"Could it be... Is this the place where he rented a house in the capital to go to school? Why has no one answered the door after knocking for so long? Could something have really happened..."

Li Ye didn't dare to think further and became more and more anxious.

So, he summoned his Charmeleon without hesitation and ordered it to quickly destroy the door lock.

With a loud "bang", Li Ye kicked the door open and strode into the house.

He rushed straight to the bedroom, hoping to find Zhuge An there.

His face was as pale as paper, bloodless, as if all the vitality had been taken away, and he lay quietly on the bed, motionless. His clothes were not taken off, like a stiff corpse.

If it weren't for the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead and his chest still rising and falling rhythmically, one would have mistakenly thought that he was dead.

The ginseng-like Smilax glabra was now tightly held in Zhuge An's hand, with bite marks clearly visible on it.

"Fuck! Zhuge An!! Wake up now!"

Li Ye was terrified and quickly reached out to Zhuge An's neck. He felt relieved only after feeling the weak pulse.

He was extremely anxious and shook Zhuge An's body desperately, trying to wake him up from his coma, but all efforts were in vain.

"Snapped!"

Seeing Zhuge An sleeping soundly and as lifeless as a dead pig, Li Ye was furious. Unable to bear it any longer, he raised his hand and slapped him hard with a loud and crisp slap.

After receiving the slap, Zhuge An just rubbed his cheek subconsciously in his sleep, then uttered an indistinct mumble, turned over with a groan, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Li Ye: “…”

"Giant Beedrill, aim at his anus and deliver a deadly sting!"

“Buzz? Buzz!”

“Reason? How can you expect me to be reasonable? What kind of reason can I use?!”

Li Ye rushed out of the bathroom angrily, holding a basin full of water in his hand.

He walked up to Zhuge An with a menacing look and without hesitation poured the entire basin of water onto Zhuge An's head.

“Crash—”

Water splashed everywhere, but Zhuge An seemed to have no reaction, and didn't even move.

"Zhuge An! Damn it! Hurry up! Wake up!!"

Li Ye yelled in exasperation. While cursing, he sat on Zhuge An's body, opened his hands left and right, and slapped him in the face repeatedly.

But no matter how hard he whipped, Zhuge An still seemed to have lost consciousness. He showed no reaction and just continued to sleep soundly.

"......well!"

Li Ye sighed helplessly. After some thought, Li Ye decided to use his last trick. He leaned close to Zhuge An's ear and whispered:

“The Valkyrie is back.”

"Go up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a miracle happened.

Zhuge An, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up as if he had been electrocuted. He sat up in shock from his dying illness, suddenly opened his eyes, and stared straight at Li Ye, who had a look of astonishment, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.

"What's going on? No, why are you in my house?" Zhuge An rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself why his face felt so painful.

"How dare you ask?!"

Li Ye was furious. He grabbed Zhuge An by the collar and yelled, "Think about what you did before you went to bed?"

His voice was so deafening that it seemed to overturn the entire room.

"What did you do? Eat some ginseng?"

Zhuge An scratched his head in confusion, then, out of kindness, handed the bitten Shanglu in his hand to the other party and said:

"Take a bite? This stuff can also nourish the kidneys."

Li Ye stared at him expressionlessly and remained silent, which made Zhuge An feel very embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Finally, Li Ye couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how long you slept?"

Zhuge An touched his chin and replied, "Uh...what time is it now?"

Li Ye took out his cell phone unhappily and pointed the screen at Zhuge An.

"WTF?"

When Zhuge An saw the time displayed on his cell phone, he couldn't help but scream.

"I actually slept from 2:30 yesterday afternoon until 12:00 noon today? Oh my god! This thing can actually help you sleep."

"Fuck your sleeping aid! You almost died, you know that?"

Li Ye finally couldn't bear it anymore and started cursing in anger.

"What? It's just a ginseng, how can it be fatal?" Zhuge An was stunned for a moment and retorted.

"This isn't ginseng at all, it's a damn business road. Maybe you haven't heard of this name, but you should know about Gelsemium elegans, right? That's the last herb Li Shizhen tasted after trying all the herbs. You might as well guess why it's ranked last? Because this thing is extremely poisonous!"

Li Ye shouted angrily: "You are alive now only because of your powerful immune system!"

Zhuge An was a little confused by Li Ye's barrage of criticism, but he was able to quickly extract several key pieces of information from the other party's rapid-fire words.

He lowered his head to glance at the herbs in his hand, raised his hand to wipe away the sweat oozing from his neck, and showed a look of sudden enlightenment:

"Oh~ No wonder I felt wet all over after waking up. I sweated so much. It turns out that my immune system was fighting the virus!"

"Tsk——"

Li Ye took a deep breath, trying hard to restrain the urge to continue scolding the other party, and forced himself to calm down.

"So where do you keep your Pokémon?"

"I sent them to the Pokémon Center for a checkup yesterday. Well, I need to get them back soon."

"Stop talking nonsense! Go to the hospital for a check-up right now!"

"Is this necessary? I don't think it's a big deal..."

Zhuge An was ruthlessly interrupted by Li Ye before he could finish his words of refusal. The other party grabbed his collar tightly and dragged him out without saying a word.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be in a hurry. At least let me take a shower and change into clean clothes before going. I'm all sweaty and sticky. It's really uncomfortable."

"Shut the fuck up! I've already called a car, let's go to the hospital first! We can talk about other things later!"

"Oh……"

Zhuge An shrank his neck and responded aggrievedly.

"Why are you so irritable today? You curse at me all the time."

Li Ye: “…”

More than just wanting to curse, he now wants to kill people!
