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

Lin Guochang stood quietly on the ruins, like a lonely statue.

Wherever his eyes went, he saw a city that was once prosperous but now in ruins.

The ruins are like sudden scars on the earth, silently telling the cruelty of the disaster.

The streets were littered with broken bricks, twisted steel bars and charred wood, as if they were the remains of a giant beast wreaking havoc.

The earth that was once full of vitality was now lifeless, like a dead desert. There was not a trace of green, not a single sound, only death and silence filled the air.

Lin Guochang narrowed his eyes slightly, with complex emotions intertwined in his eyes.

"yue——"

But at this moment of deathly silence, a sudden sound of vomiting was like a heavy hammer, severely breaking the suffocating atmosphere around.

The sound kept echoing in the empty ruins, sounding particularly harsh.

Lin Guochang frowned, turned his head quickly with disgust, and looked at Tang Chen who was lying on the ground next to him.

Tang Chen's face was as pale as paper, veins bulged on his forehead, and he was holding his stomach and retching non-stop. He looked so painful that it seemed as if he was going to vomit out all his internal organs.

Lin Guochang's brows instantly wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川". A hint of nervousness flashed across his eyes. He couldn't help but lower his voice, which was as low as a ghost:

"Can you keep your voice down? This is no joke. If we attract those terrifying Ultra Beasts, we'll be dead."

Tang Chen's body was still shaking slightly. He finally recovered and stretched out a hand to wave towards Lin Guochang, as if to apologize for his previous gaffe.

He wiped the filth from the corner of his mouth with his other hand and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to do that. But I didn't expect that traveling through that weird black hole into this world would make me feel so uncomfortable. It feels like every cell in my body has been rearranged, and my stomach is churning."

Lin Guochang glanced at him, his eyes still scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

"The effect varies from person to person. According to the information that Connor told me under the truth serum, this black hole shuttle is full of variables. I just didn't expect you to react so strongly."

"Can we trust all of Connor's information? That guy is as slippery as a loach. Maybe he is hiding some key information."

As Tang Chen spoke, he slowly stood up and brushed off the dust on his body, but his movements were still a little shaky.

After meeting Tang Chen, Lin Guochang's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.

His mind flashed to the magical feather that Connor had used before, which had the amazing ability to create a wormhole.

For some reason, he always felt that the aura of the feather was extremely similar to the mysterious item [Jiangban] commonly used by the Hunter Association. This similarity was like two rivers with the same source, emitting the same mysterious aura.

It was because of this suspicion that Lin Guochang decided to interrogate Tang Chen.

As a former cadre of the Hunter Association, Tang Chen must know the secret.

Tang Chen seemed to have no intention of resisting. Under Lin Guochang's questioning, he told everything he knew about Yveltal without reservation.

After revealing the information, Tang Chen felt a ripple of curiosity in his heart. He tilted his head and asked Lin Guochang:

"Why are you suddenly interested in this? This is not like your style."

Lin Guochang's eyes dimmed instantly. He took a deep breath and said slowly:

"My son was sucked into another world because of the black hole created by Connor using Yveltal's feather. Now I don't know whether he is alive or dead."

After hearing these words, Tang Chen was slightly stunned, as if he was struck by lightning.

His mind instantly recalled the young boy he once was. He was a guy as shrewd as a little fox. Although his cleverness sometimes made people angry, he was full of vitality and energy.

"Your son?"

Tang Chen frowned, seeming a little bit unbelieving, "Is that the one who slapped me?"

"Give you a slap?"

Lin Guochang was stunned at first, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, then he hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Probably. I'm not sure about the specific situation. But if you wanted to harm him at that time, what Lin Yi did could be considered as legitimate defense."

"I didn't mean to kill him!"

Tang Chen hurriedly explained, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

"I just wanted to get Zeraora, but who knew that guy would protect it so much."

As he spoke, he scratched his head in annoyance, seeming helpless about the situation.

Lin Guochang snorted coldly, "No matter what you say, your actions at that time have already threatened his life. If I hadn't arrived in time, Lin Yi might have been in danger of his life at that time."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and anger in his eyes, and his gaze towards Tang Chen became sharp.

Tang Chen shrugged helplessly and did not deny Lin Guochang's accusation. He knew that his behavior at that time was indeed a bit reckless.

"Then what should we do now? We can't just sit there and wait. We have to find a way to save your son as soon as possible." Tang Chen looked at Lin Guochang seriously.

Under Lin Guochang's semi-threatening situation, the two finally reached a consensus.

They decided to go to Laomei, a mysterious place that might hold the key to solving the mystery.

Before the action, Lin Guochang returned home first and looked at the photos of his wife and son, his heart filled with guilt and reluctance.

He suppressed his inner uneasiness and sent his wife An Qing back to her parents' home.

In order to avoid arousing his wife's suspicion, he made up some seemingly reasonable excuses and tried to comfort his wife so that she could wait for his return with peace of mind.

Afterwards, Tang Chen began to prepare for the action, relying on the deep connections he had accumulated as a former cadre of the Hunter Association.

They ran around and, through various complex relationships and channels, obtained a series of indispensable things, including the precious truth serum.

These items are their hope to pry open Connor's mouth and are also the key to saving Lin Yi.

Then, it was a long wait and observation. Finally, they got the perfect opportunity during a grand event held by Laomei.

For some reason, Connor's Pokémon was not with him, which left Connor temporarily isolated and helpless.

The two men seized the opportunity and attacked quickly, like a cheetah in the dark night, kidnapping Connor cleanly and neatly and disappearing into the crowd.

Connor, a powerful man who holds the highest position in the United States and is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, never expected that one day he would suffer the misfortune of being kidnapped in his very familiar homeland.

This was originally his home ground, the place where he could call the shots, but now it has become the place of his nightmare.
