Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

"Huff... huff..."

Xiaoxia nestled in Jiang Chuan's arms, her body drenched in fragrant sweat.

The thin nightgown was already crumpled and half-hanging on her body.

The black stockings were still on her legs, but they had several holes in them.

"You big bad guy...you hit me so hard..." Xiaoxia weakly punched Jiang Chuan's chest, her voice soft and feeble.

Jiang Chuan smiled and hugged her tightly.

"Wasn't this a reward you gave me?"

"But that didn't mean you had to be this...this crazy..." Xiaoxia buried her face in Jiang Chuan's chest, her voice muffled, "I told you to be gentle..."

Despite saying that, her arms were tightly wrapped around Jiang Chuan's waist.

It's obvious that he's saying one thing and meaning another.

The two embraced quietly for a while.

Only the faint sound of breathing and the sound of waves crashing outside the window remained in the room.

It took Xiaoxia a while to recover.

She looked up at Jiang Chuan with her eyes full of tears.

"Jiangchuan..."

"Um?"

"Thank you for giving me the Black Seahorse today," Xiaoxia said earnestly. "I really, really love it."

Jiang Chuan pinched her cheek: "I'm glad you like it."

Xiaoxia hesitated for a moment, then blushed again.

She reached for the black lace panties on the bedside table, which Jiang Chuan had just torn off and thrown there.

"Do you really like this style?"

Jiang Chuan took it and looked at it.

"I like it," he said honestly. "It's especially sexy."

"You can wear more layers in the future..."

"You're so lucky!" Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at Jiang Chuan, but her eyes were full of laughter. "This is a reward today. If there are too many rewards, you won't find it exciting anymore."

"Don't I know you, you big pervert? You wear black today, red tomorrow, purple the day after... you keep pushing your luck."

"At that point, the ordinary styles won't satisfy you anymore, and you'll want something more exciting."

As Xiaoxia spoke, she blushed first.

But she still tried to remain calm, putting on an air of "I know a lot about this".

"So, take it slow. You should focus on training your Pokémon and improving its strength."

"As for these matters..." Xiaoxia's voice trembled slightly when she said that word, but she forced herself to finish, "I will arrange everything for you!"

After she finished speaking, she felt embarrassed and buried her face in Jiang Chuan's arms.

Although she was just bragging and didn't really know much about these things, she did have a support team—three older sisters.

The four sisters brainstormed together.

It's equivalent to Jiangchuan taking on four opponents at once.

Did he win? Hmph! He'll be thoroughly crushed.

Jiang Chuan felt incredibly warm inside looking at Xiaoxia's pretentious act of pretending to be a seasoned pro.

He lowered his head and kissed Xiaoxia's forehead.

"Then I'll look forward to it."

"Hmph... Good thing you know..."

Xiaoxia nuzzled against Jiang Chuan contentedly, like a kitten.

The two chatted for a while longer, with Xiaoxia doing most of the talking.

She talked about her training plan, how to train the Black Seahorse, and how she wanted to build a powerful water-type team in the future.

Jiang Chuan listened quietly, occasionally responding with a few words.

Late at night.

As Xia spoke, her voice grew softer and softer.

Finally, she nestled in Jiang Chuan's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Chuan gently covered her with the blanket, hugged her, and closed his eyes as well.

………………

the next morning.

When Jiang Chuan woke up, Xiao Xia was still clinging to him like an octopus.

The nightgown had long since been kicked away somewhere.

Jiang Chuan gently moved her aside, got up, and washed up.

When he changed his clothes and came downstairs, Hanako was already preparing breakfast.

"Good morning, Jiangchuan." Hanako smiled gently. "Where's Xia?"

"Still sleeping."

"Then let her sleep a little longer." Hanako's eyes held a hint of ambiguity. "You must have been exhausted yesterday, right?"

Jiang Chuan coughed lightly.

Hanako stopped teasing and turned back to continue frying eggs.

But a gentle smile always lingered on her lips.

Xiaoxia rubbed her eyes and came downstairs just as breakfast was about to be ready.

She changed into casual clothes, but her walking posture was noticeably awkward.

"Good morning..." she greeted, blushing.

Hanako considerately didn't ask any more questions, and simply invited her to eat.

At the dinner table, Jiang Chuan explained his plans for the day.

"I need to take care of something. You guys wait for me at the villa."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoxia and Huazi put down their chopsticks at the same time.

"I'll go with you," Xiaoxia said.

"I'll go too," Hanako said.

The two looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Jiang Chuan paused for a moment: "No need, I'm just going to take care of something small, there's no danger."

"You're lying. You've been out for two days in a row, it can't be something small." Xiaoxia stared straight at Jiang Chuan.

Hanako nodded, saying gently but firmly, "Jiangchuan, let us go with you. Even if we can't help, at least... we want to be by your side."

Jiang Chuan looked at the two of them.

Xiaoxia's eyes were stubborn.

Hanako's gaze was gentle but unyielding.

Both women had been marked; they had long had a special intuition about him.

"Alright," Jiang Chuan conceded, "but you have to promise me you'll follow my arrangements."

"Mmm!" Xiaoxia smiled immediately.

"Okay." Hanako breathed a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, the three set off.

Xiaoxia brought Mo Haima along too. Although its injury hadn't fully healed, it was already able to move around a bit.

...............

First stop: the city government.

The economic development department of Lampurch is located in the government building in the city center.

Jiang Chuan led the two into the hall and went directly to the office responsible for approving tourism projects.

They were greeted by a middle-aged man wearing glasses, whose surname was Sato.

"About the Sea Paradise Theme Park project?" Sato adjusted his glasses and took out a document. "This project is a key industry supported by the city, and all the necessary permits and licenses are in place."

Jiang Chuan asked directly, "How was the relocation of the agate jellyfish population handled in the project's environmental impact assessment report?"

"This..." Sato flipped through a few pages of documents. "The report shows that the project team has commissioned a professional organization to properly relocate the local water-type Pokémon."

"How can we do this properly?"

"This is a trade secret, and we cannot disclose it." Sato smiled formally, "But I can assure you that everything complies with the alliance's regulations."

"There are many uncontrollable factors in the wild behavior of Pokémon. The project team has fulfilled its responsibilities."

A very complete explanation.

Jiang Chuan knew that there was no point in saying anything more.

These departments have clearly been taken care of by Granny Jin.

He stood up: "Thank you, sorry to bother you."

...............

The three walked out of the hall.

As Jiang Chuan passed by the bulletin board, he suddenly stopped.

The bulletin board was covered with tourism posters for Lampurch, as well as various economic development reports.

One of the documents caught his attention.

[Lampurchi City Annual Work Report – Superior Guidance Unit: Kaleidoscope City]

Jiang Chuan's eyes lit up.

correct.

There is no gym in Lampurch City; administratively, it is under the jurisdiction of Vermilion City.

And Koba City... just went through the Ma Surge incident.

Right now, all the official agencies in Vermilion City are extremely sensitive to Pokémon-related issues.

Jiang Chuan immediately had an idea.

He took out his communicator and found Officer Jenny's number in Konoha City.

After resolving the Mascherano incident, the two exchanged contact information.

The call was answered quickly.

"Feed? Jiang Chuan?" Officer Jenny's voice came through the phone. "Why are you contacting me all of a sudden?"

"Miss Officer Jenny, there's something I need your help with."

Jiang Chuan briefly explained the situation.

The report highlighted the use of chemical agents and repellent devices by the engineering team, which could potentially trigger a large-scale Pokémon riot.

On the other end of the phone, Officer Jenny's voice became serious.

"Chemical reagents? Are you sure?"

"The black seahorse witnessed it firsthand; it was injured while trying to avoid the medicine."

Officer Jenny remained silent for a few seconds.

"Okay, I believe you," she said. "I'll report this to the city government of Kuye and the Alliance immediately. This kind of heinous incident must be thoroughly investigated."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, it's what I should do." Officer Jenny paused, "Besides... I haven't properly thanked you for what happened last time."

She was referring to the Ma Tseng Shi incident.

Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.

With Officer Jenny's intervention, the official issues were resolved.

Next up is the agate jellyfish.

…………

I returned to that sea area.

The weather is great today, sunny and the sea is calm.

But Jiang Chuan could sense that the underwater world was not calm.

The waveguide power spread out, and it was able to sense a large number of agate jellyfish gathering in the depths.

They were agitated, filled with anger and unease.

Jiang Chuan released Mo Haima.

"Little guy, it's all up to you now."

The black seahorse nodded, took a deep breath, and dived into the water.

Xiaoxia gripped Jiang Chuan's arm nervously.

"Will it work?"

"Trust it," Jiang Chuan said.

A few minutes later, the sea began to churn.

One by one, agate jellyfish floated to the surface of the water.

There were at least hundreds of them, densely packed together.

Their tentacles swayed in the seawater, their eyes warily fixed on the three people on the speedboat.

Xiaoxia subconsciously took a step back, but still forced herself to stand next to Jiang Chuan.

Hanako clenched her fists, but remained calm on the surface.

At this moment, the black seahorse swam out of the aquatic creatures.

Beside it was a significantly larger agate jellyfish.

This agate jellyfish has longer, darker tentacles, and its head is topped with a shimmering red agate.

It represents jellyfish.

The black seahorse swam to the speedboat and made gurgling noises.

It means... I've told it everything you wanted to say...

Jiang Chuan nodded and looked at the agate jellyfish.

He directly unleashed his waveguide power to establish a mental connection with the other party.

[Human,] the agate jellyfish's voice was cold. [The ink seahorse said you can help us. But why should I believe you?]

"Because I'm different from those people," Jiang Chuan calmly replied. "They just want to expel you and take over your homes. I want to find a solution that both sides can accept."

[A solution?] The agate jellyfish leader swung its tentacles sharply. [Our home has been destroyed! The seawater is polluted, and everyone is poisoned and injured! What other solution is there?]

Jiang Chuan could sense its intense anger.

That was the pain of having one's home destroyed and one's people harmed.

"I can guarantee that whoever released the chemicals will be punished," Jiang Chuan said. "I've already contacted the alliance; they will thoroughly investigate this matter."

Punishment? What's the point of punishment? Can our home be restored?

"I can try to designate a protected area to help you recover," Jiang Chuan continued negotiating. "Furthermore, if you launch an attack now, the League will see you as a threat. Then, instead of negotiators, trainers and law enforcement will come."

That's very straightforward.

The agate jellyfish fell silent.

The swarm behind it began to stir, its tentacles waving and emitting a low hum.

They are communicating.

After a long while, the agate jellyfish spoke again.

How can you guarantee that what you're saying is true?

"Three days." Jiang Chuan gave him a deadline. "Give me three days. If there's no progress after three days, then you can proceed, and I won't stop you."

The agate jellyfish stared at Jiang Chuan.

The power of waveguides allows it to sense Jiang Chuan's sincerity.

Add to that Mo Haima's guarantee, and Jiang Chuan's approachable aura as a friend of nature...

Finally, it nodded.

"Okay, I'll trust you this once," said the agate jellyfish. "Three days. But if we don't see results after three days..."

It didn't finish its sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Rest assured. Jiang Chuan solemnly promises.

The leader of the agate jellyfish gave Jiang Chuan a deep look, then led its swarm slowly into the sea.

The sea has returned to calm.

"Did...it worked?" Xiaoxia asked blankly.

"For now." Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Next, it all depends on Officer Jenny's efficiency."

Hanako gently took Egawa's hand.

"You've done a great job."

Jiang Chuan smiled, put away the Mo Haima, and started the speedboat to return.

Now that things are settled on both sides, we're just waiting for notification from Kureha City.

…………

Late that night.

A secluded rocky beach on the coastline of Lampurch.

A dilapidated little boat quietly docked at the shore.

Three people jumped off the boat, along with a cat.

"Musashi, why did you have to come in the middle of the night?" Kojiro complained. "It's pitch black, I can't see anything."

"Idiot!" Musashi slapped him on the head. "That old woman said there are patrols during the day! Do you think we can catch agate jellyfish in the light using 'three cups of vinegar'?"

"That's true..." Kojiro scratched his head and took out several large bottles from his bag.

The bottle was filled with a clear liquid.

"This is my special 'Three Cups of Vinegar'!" Kojiro proudly introduced. "It's specially formulated for soft-bodied Water-type Pokémon, and it can temporarily render them unconscious, but it's absolutely harmless!"

The cat came closer and sniffed it.

"It smells sour, meow."

"Of course!" Kojiro said. "Alright, enough talk, let's get to work! The more we catch, the bigger the bounty!"

Musashi's eyes lit up: "And the unconscious agate jellyfish can be sold on the black market! That's another fortune!"

"We're rich! We're rich!"

The trio immediately sprang into action.

They rowed their small boat to the edge of the sea area where the agate jellyfish colony was active.

Kojiro opened the bottle and poured it into the sea.

The liquid spread rapidly.

A few minutes later, the sea began to churn.

One by one, agate jellyfish floated to the surface, their tentacles flailing weakly, clearly indicating they had fallen into a coma.

"It works! It works so well!" Kojiro exclaimed excitedly, waving his arms and legs.

Musashi and Meow Meow quickly took out their specially made nets and began frantically scooping them up.

One, two, three...

The cages on the small boat were soon filled with unconscious agate jellyfish.

"Hahaha! We've struck it rich!" Musashi counted the number of animals in the cages, his eyes practically turning into money symbols.

"Wait, there's more over there!" Kojiro pointed to another area of ​​the sea.

The trio rowed their small boat and continued to throw in "three cups of vinegar" to continue their salvage operation.

Completely absorbed in their newfound wealth, they failed to notice that deep in the ocean, a peculiar agate jellyfish was abnormally expanding.

…………

The Rockets' trio is still frantically salvaging the site.

"The 47th one!" Kojiro excitedly noted.

"Quick, there's another group over there!" Musashi pointed ahead.

The cat suddenly perked up its ears.

"Wait, meow...did you guys hear something?"

"A sound? What sound?" Musashi said dismissively. "Get to work!"

Meow Meow looked at the sea with a puzzled expression.

It always felt... that something was moving underwater.

And that thing... is very big.

But Musashi and Kojiro had already rowed off in their small boat.

Meow had no choice but to follow.

Just then.

The seawater beneath the ship suddenly began to churn violently.

"Huh? Waves are rising?" Kojiro was taken aback.

"No... there's something down there!" Musashi's expression changed.

The trio simultaneously looked down at the sea.

Then they saw a huge dark shadow rapidly rising from the deep sea.

The shadowy figure was bigger than their ship!

"What...what is that, meow?" Meow was so scared that its fur stood on end.

next second.

The sea exploded!

A massive, unbelievably huge stinging jellyfish bursts out of the water!

"A monster...a monster!!!" Kojiro screamed.

Musashi was also stunned: "This...this is an agate jellyfish? How can it be so big?"

The eyes of the giant stinging jellyfish were fixed on the small boat.

It saw the unconscious members of its tribe on the ship.

I saw those three despicable guys.

A huge tentacle suddenly rose up and then slammed down.
