Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Just as the giant stinging jellyfish was about to go berserk, a thick fog began to rise from the sea.

This is not ordinary fog.

The fog was so thick it seemed to envelop the entire coastline almost instantly.

"What happened?"

"It's getting foggy?"

"No... this fog is coming too strangely..."

On the dock, the citizens were in a state of panic.

The mayor and others also watched the thick fog with tension.

And the next second.

They witnessed a scene they would never forget.

In the thick fog.

A shadow of unimaginable size slowly emerged.

How big was that shadow?

In short...

That giant stinging jellyfish looked like a child standing in front of an adult compared to it!

"Th-what is that...?"

The people in the city were filled with fear.

"A monster..."

"Run!"

The citizens were completely devastated.

If the stinging jellyfish from before could still inspire people to resist...

Then all that remained for this enormous monster was despair.

This is something that no human can contend with!

The crowd scrambled and stumbled as they fled.

Chaos reigned at the dock.

Only Xiaoxia and Hanako remained standing in the same spot.

The two women were terrified.

But they remained at the dock.

"Jiangchuan..." Xiaoxia murmured.

………………

On the sea.

The ancient Dragonite looked down at Jiang Chuan.

Its eyes were full of joy.

"Little friend!"

The Dragonite's thoughts came through, like a happy child.

"Did you hear your conch shell? Have you encountered one of my companions?"

Jiang Chuan deployed the waveguide to communicate with the Dragonite.

"I think so." He pointed to the giant stinging jellyfish below: "There's a big jellyfish here, it looks like it's from an ancient era, but it's too ferocious."

"I tried to talk to it, and it attacked me like crazy."

Upon hearing this, Dragonite turned to look at Tentacruel.

Upon closer inspection...

The once majestic giant stinging jellyfish wilted instantly.

Its enormous body looked like a toy compared to the ancient Dragonite.

It's not even half the size of a Dragonite!

Dragonite carefully sensed it.

Then he shook his head in disappointment.

"It is not my companion."

Its message was transmitted to Jiang Chuan.

"I didn't sense any ancient aura... it's just that it's grown bigger."

However, Dragonite immediately remembered what Jiangchuan had just said.

"Is it going to attack you?"

A dangerous glint flashed in Dragonite's eyes.

"Do you need me to beat it for you, little friend?"

It raised its paw.

This single action stirred up a gust of wind.

The stinging jellyfish below trembled in fright.

All the tentacles retracted.

It finally experienced what absolute power suppression meant.

Compared to the ancient Dragonite, its strength is simply not enough!

Jiang Chuan smiled.

He shook his head.

"Need not."

Then I looked at the giant stinging jellyfish that was already trembling.

The power of waveguides transmits a sense of tranquility.

"I think it should be able to have a proper talk with me now."

really.

With the colossal ancient dragonite by its side, the giant jellyfish's attitude changed instantly.

The frenzied drive to destroy the city that had been there just moments before has now vanished without a trace.

Its tentacles hung obediently on the sea surface, and even the gleam of its stingers was much less intense.

"Now, can we have a proper talk?"

Jiang Chuan stood on the back of the Pidgey, looking down at the Tentacruel.

The power of waveguides clearly transmitted his thoughts.

The compound eyes of the giant stinging jellyfish flickered a few times.

Finally, a relatively peaceful thought came through.

"……talk."

Jiang Chuan nodded.

"First, you need to understand one thing."

His tone became serious.

"What you're doing now is at most a conflict with humanity, which can be mediated."

"But if you really destroy the city of Lampurch, causing a lot of casualties and property damage."

"Then the nature of it changes."

Jiang Chuan stared at the stinging jellyfish.

"That would turn into a Pokémon invasion of the city incident."

"When the time comes, the people the alliance sends to handle things won't talk to you as nicely as I have."

He pointed to the ancient Dragonite beside him.

"Perhaps the Pokémon they brought weren't as big as my friend's."

"But their combat strength..."

Jiang Chuan paused, letting the stinging jellyfish process what he had just said.

"They're probably not much different from my friend."

This isn't meant to scare it.

There are Elite-level and even Champion-level trainers in the league.

Those people's main Pokémon, although not as exaggerated in size as the ancient Dragonite, are absolutely terrifying in combat.

It's more than enough to deal with a near-king-level stinging jellyfish.

The giant stinging jellyfish visibly trembled.

It looked at the ancient Dragonite.

Dragonite was watching it too.

A hint of amusement flashed in those enormous dragon eyes.

It's as if it's saying: You better listen to me.

The stinging jellyfish was completely scared.

"……I see."

Its thoughts came through, carrying resentment, but even more so, helplessness.

"I can trust you one more time."

The stinging jellyfish raised one of its tentacles, pointing it towards the coastline.

"But if humanity doesn't return our home to us..."

"If you don't release my companions..."

Its resolve suddenly became resolute.

"Even if a god came, we'd still have to exchange blows with him!"

That's a firm statement.

However, it always seems a bit cowardly in the face of the ancient Dragonite.

Jiang Chuan smiled.

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise."

"Now, send all your companions who entered the city back."

The giant stinging jellyfish nodded.

Its body began to emit a pale blue light.

The superpower fluctuations spread outwards from it.

This is a call signal between ethnic groups.

soon.

In every corner of the city, the destructive agate jellyfish stopped their actions.

They changed direction and surged towards the sea.

Blue figures emerge from the streets, squares, and shops, converging into blue streams that flow back to the sea.

The giant stinging jellyfish gave Jiang Chuan one last look.

Then, it slowly sank into the sea.

Its enormous body disappeared beneath the surface of the sea.

Only ripples spreading outwards were left behind.

………………

Over the sea.

The ancient Dragonite looked down at the spot where Tentacruel had disappeared.

It blinked its huge eyes.

[Little one, do you really not want me to punch it for you?]

The Dragonite's thoughts came through, surprisingly tinged with disappointment.

It seems like there wasn't a chance to do anything, which is a bit of a shame.

Jiang Chuan was both amused and exasperated.

"No need, thank you, friend!"

He said sincerely.

"They are victims too, this time."

"Anyone would be furious if their home was destroyed and their people were arrested."

Jiang Chuan looked at the swarm of agate jellyfish retreating along the coastline.

"Next time, if we encounter an even worse guy, you can help me fight him then."

He added with a smile.

"In addition, I will keep an eye on your ancient companions for you."

"As soon as I hear any news, I'll blow the conch shell to call you."

The eyes of the ancient Dragonite immediately lit up.

Really? Thank you, little friend!

It happily shook its huge head.

With this sudden movement, another gust of wind was stirred up.

Pidgey quickly regained its balance.

"I'll be going now, goodbye little friend!"

After Dragonite finished speaking, his body began to be enveloped in thick fog.

The enormous figure gradually blurred in the mist.

Finally, it disappeared completely.

The thick fog gradually dissipated.

The sun shines on the sea again.

Everything has returned to calm.

………………

Jiang Chuan rode Pidgey and flew towards the dock.

at this time.

The agate jellyfish in the city have mostly retreated.

Only a few remain lingering on the shore, but they are slowly retreating into the sea.

The crisis has been averted.

On the dock.

The mayor watched this scene and let out a long sigh of relief.

His legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, the secretary next to him reacted quickly and caught him.

"It's... over..."

The mayor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Those few minutes felt like centuries to him.

If that young trainer hadn't intervened...

He dared not think.

it's good now.

everything is over.

The city was saved.

His official hat was temporarily saved.

………………

Xiaoxia and Hanako also saw what was happening on the sea.

Xiaoxia's tense nerves finally relaxed.

She suddenly felt her legs go weak and her body swayed.

Hanako quickly helped her up.

"It's alright... Jiang Chuan is alright..."

Hanako said softly.

But her eyes also reddened.

Just now, she was terrified too.

Xiaoxia bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

"This Jiang Chuan... he always does such dangerous things..."

She said, her voice trembling with tears.

"It's always like this...it worries me to death..."

Hanako put her arm around Kasumi and gently patted her back.

Her white dress billowed in the sea breeze, clinging to Xiaoxia's body.

The two girls' bodies were pressed tightly together, and they could feel each other's body temperature and heartbeat.

"Jiang Chuan must have his reasons for doing this."

Hanako said softly.

But her hands were trembling slightly.

Just now, she really thought she was going to lose Jiang Chuan.

………………

Jiang Chuan rode Pidgey back over the city.

He looked down.

On the streets, citizens are emerging from their hiding places.

They looked at the sea, still shaken, then at the sky.

Sudden.

A child pointed to the sky and shouted.

"Look! The Great Bird Hero is back!"

It was a little boy of seven or eight years old, being held in his mother's arms.

He waved his little hands excitedly.

"The great bird hero saved us!"

This shout attracted the attention of those around.

Everyone looked up.

really.

Jiang Chuan was riding a Pidgey, flying back over the sea.

The morning light shone on him, as if gilding him with a layer of gold.

The enormous Pidgey looked exceptionally majestic in the sunlight.

"It really is him!"

"He's back!"

"The crisis is over!"

The citizens became excited.

They did not know Jiang Chuan's name.

But just now, everyone saw that scene: this boy faced the terrifying giant stinging jellyfish without any fear.

It's even possible that he summoned an even more powerful being, which quelled the disaster.

What else could this be but a hero?

"Big Bird Hero!"

Someone else joined in the shouting.

"Big Bird Hero!"

More and more people are joining the call.

The sounds merged together, resounding throughout the entire dock.

Jiang Chuan's lips twitched when he heard this address.

Big Bird Hero?

What kind of weird name is this...?

But looking at the excited crowd below, he couldn't say anything.

They had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue flying toward the dock.

………………

Pidgey slowly landed on the open ground of the dock.

Jiang Chuan jumped off its back.

As soon as it landed.

The mayor, accompanied by a group of officials, quickly came to greet them.

"Great Bird Hero! You're back!"

The mayor was all smiles and extremely respectful.

Jiang Chuan was speechless.

"Mr. Mayor, my name is Jiang Chuan."

He said helplessly.

"Oh! Mr. Jiangchuan! Mr. Jiangchuan!"

The mayor quickly changed his tune.

"Thank you so much! If it weren't for your help, our city of Lampshire would be finished!"

He grasped Jiang Chuan's hand and shook it vigorously.

"You are a great benefactor to our entire city!"

The surrounding officials echoed their sentiments.

"Yeah yeah!"

"Mr. Jiang Chuan is truly a young hero!"

"Having a trainer like you in the league is a blessing for all of us!"

One flattery after another.

Jiang Chuan felt a chill run down his spine.

He withdrew his hand and said seriously.

"Mr. Mayor, now is not the time to talk about these things."

"The stinging jellyfish just said that your engineering team captured more than thirty agate jellyfish and kept them in the basement of Paradise Park."

"Did you know about this?"

The mayor's smile froze on his face.

"What? Is that true?"

He turned his head sharply to look at the officials behind him.

"Who did this? Who gave permission to catch Pokémon?"

The officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

A middle-aged man timidly raised his hand.

"Mayor...it might be someone from Granny Jin's side...They said they caught some mischievous Pokémon and locked them up temporarily..."

"Nonsense!"

The mayor was furious.

"Immediately! Right now! Go to the basement of Paradise Park and release all the agate jellyfish!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Several officials hurriedly ran off to arrange manpower.

The mayor then turned to Jiang Chuan and said with a forced smile.

"Mr. Jiang Chuan, please rest assured, I will handle this matter seriously!"

"I guarantee that none of those agate jellyfish that were caught will be harmed!"

Jiang Chuan nodded.

"Please also get the matter of the nature reserve settled as soon as possible."

"Definitely! Definitely!"

The mayor repeatedly assured him.

"I'll convene the city council tomorrow to specifically discuss this matter!"

He patted his chest.

"This area will henceforth be a designated protected area for agate jellyfish! No development projects are permitted!"

Jiang Chuan was finally satisfied.

Just then.

A figure squeezed in.

It's Sato.

With a fawning smile on his face, he bowed and scraped as he approached Jiang Chuan.

"Mr. Egawa! Mr. Egawa!"

Sato's voice was sickeningly sweet.

"I was blind to your greatness before and treated you poorly!"

"You're so magnanimous, please don't hold it against me!"

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief, intending to wipe away dust that wasn't actually there for Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan took a step back, avoiding his hand.

She stared at him coldly.

Sato's smile froze for a moment, but then he smiled even more brightly.

"Mr. Jiang Chuan, you see... this crisis is over. I... I was also deceived by Granny Jin before..."

At that moment, a distinctive communicator ringtone sounded.

The mayor's expression changed.

He quickly pulled a sophisticated communicator from his pocket.

I glanced at the caller ID.

The mayor's expression instantly turned extremely serious.

even……

It carried a hint of servility.

"Excuse me, Mr. Jiang Chuan, I need to take this call."

He smiled apologetically at Jiang Chuan.

Then he walked to the side and connected the call.

Jiang Chuan noticed that the mayor unconsciously bent over when he answered the phone.

The expression on his face was respectful to the point of being obsequious.

He kept saying "Yes, yes, yes" and "Okay, okay, okay."

It was as if the person on the other end of the phone was of extremely high status.

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes.

It seems... some important person called...
