Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Hanako and Kasumi also came over.

Xia's eyes widened.

Wow! This pink butterfly bush is so pretty!

Hanako didn't say anything.

But as she crouched down, her gaze was completely drawn to the pink butterfly.

The pink wings were as thin as cicada wings, shimmering with a soft pearly sheen in the sunlight.

There is a ring of light gold lines around the edge, as if it were painted on.

It landed on the bushes, gently flapping its wings with an elegant posture.

Hanako's eyes almost sparkled.

Jiang Chuan looked at her.

One of Hanako's emotional quests flashed through my mind: help her catch three Pokémon she likes.

He looked at the pink butterfly.

The power of waveguides was quietly being perceived.

A few seconds later, Jiang Chuan withdrew his senses.

This pink butterfly is very beautiful and vibrant.

However, its shimmering properties seem to be an additional enhancement only to its appearance.

In terms of potential, it's not even as good as it was when Butterfree first evolved.

In other words, it is not suitable for combat.

But it suits me very well...

Jiang Chuan looked at Hanako.

It would be perfect to follow the beautiful and gentle Hanako and do some lovely performances.

"Hanako," Jiangchuan said.

Hanako looked up.

"Do you like it?"

Hanako paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Mmm...so beautiful."

Jiang Chuan smiled.

"I'll give it to you after their breeding season is over."

Hanako blinked.

"Leave it to me?"

"Hmm. You can try to tame it."

Hanako was stunned.

Then, she suddenly threw herself into Jiang Chuan's arms.

"Jiangchuan..."

She tilted her head back, her eyes slightly red.

"Why are you so good to me..."

Jiang Chuan lowered his head.

"Whatever you like is fine."

Hanako stood on tiptoe.

I gently kissed his lips.

It wasn't that kind of lingering kiss.

It was a tender, grateful kiss, full of affection.

Xiaoxia pouted from the side.

"Oh dear, Hanako-nee, it's broad daylight!"

But the corners of his mouth were turned up.

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

Hanako loosened her grip on Egawa and immediately turned to the pink Butterfly.

She rummaged through her backpack and pulled out Pokémon food.

These are small, sweet energy cubes, suitable for Bug-type Pokémon.

She crouched down, placed the energy block in her palm, and slowly extended it.

"Here, have something to eat."

Her voice was as gentle as if she were coaxing a child.

The pink butterfly looked at her.

The whiskers swayed gently.

Then, it lowered its head.

Pick up an energy block.

Hanako's eyes curved into crescent moons.

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

On Xiaoxia's side, the "ideological education class" began.

She squatted down in front of Jiangchuan's giant butterfly, her expression serious.

"Big Butterfly, listen up."

The big butterfly tilted its head.

Be gentle with your partner.

"Take good care of your girlfriend."

"Don't bully her."

She paused, then glanced at Jiang Chuan.

"Don't be as bad as your master."

Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow beside him.

Big Butterfly tilted its head and looked at Xia.

Then look at Jiangchuan.

A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

It recalled what had happened a couple of days ago.

That night, its owner did teach it some things.

What does "maintaining the initiative" mean?

What does "don't let the other person lead you" mean?

The idea that "a little distance can actually make someone more attractive" is misleading.

It studied very hard at the time.

Now Xiaoxia says these are "naughty"?

The giant butterfly was confused.

Jiang Chuan smiled to himself.

He raised his hand and waved it at the giant butterfly.

"Just listen to whatever you like."

The giant butterfly's whiskers twitched.

understood.

The master's meaning is: listen to her, but don't listen to her completely.

It turned its head and continued looking at its pink girlfriend.

Xiaoxia was still rambling on and on.

"Remember to find her food."

"You should shield her from the wind and rain."

"Stop thinking about flying all the time..."

Big Butterfly listened patiently.

He nodded occasionally.

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

the other side.

Pikachu and Eevee are squatting side by side.

The two little guys had four eyes, staring intently at the two giant butterflies.

The big butterfly was being all lovey-dovey.

Tentacles touch tentacles.

Wings rubbing against wings.

The pink Butterfly gently pecked at the antennae of the Egawa Butterfly.

Jiangchuan Ba ​​Da Hu's wings trembled slightly.

Pikachu tilts its head.

"Pikachu?"

(What are they doing?)

Eevee wagged its tail.

"Buyi?"

(have no idea……)

The two little ones looked at each other.

His eyes were filled with clear stupidity.

Regarding reproduction.

They are still blank sheets of paper.

I can't understand a lot of what they're saying.

I can't understand many of the movements.

But for some reason, I feel like... we're very close?

Pikachu thought for a moment.

Jiang Chuan took a tree fruit out of his backpack pocket.

I took a bite.

Forget it.

If you don't understand, you don't understand.

Eating is still more important.

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

Hanako is still feeding the pink butterfly.

The pink butterfly was already willing to peck at food from her hand.

It even allows Hanako to gently touch the edge of its wing.

Hanako smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"So good..."

Xiaoxia also finished her ideological education class.

She leaned closer and looked at the pink butterfly.

"It's really beautiful."

She paused.

"If Hanako-nee takes it to a performance competition in the future, it will definitely win an award."

Hanako's eyes lit up.

She hadn't thought about this before.

But now that I think about it...

A pink butterfly, paired with her gentle temperament.

It is indeed very suitable for some performance competitions.

She looked at Jiang Chuan, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Jiang Chuan was currently holding a communicator and walking to a spot on the beach where the signal was good.

I dialed Professor Oak's number.

Preparations are underway to arrange a breeding ground.

…………

The signal is good by the sea.

Jiang Chuan leaned against the crooked coconut tree trunk, and Professor Oak's familiar face quickly appeared on the communicator screen, with half of a sandwich still in his hand.

"Oh! Jiangchuan!" Professor Oak's eyes lit up, and he put the sandwich aside. "It's been a while since we last talked. How's your badge collection coming along?"

Jiang Chuan hummed in agreement.

"Three now."

"Three?" Professor Oak stroked his chin. "You'd better speed things up, kid."

As he spoke, a proud smile, typical of grandfathers, appeared on his face.

"That kid, Xiao Mao, has already got four!"

Jiang Chuan's expression remained unchanged.

"That's pretty fast."

"Hahaha!" Professor Oak laughed so hard he couldn't stop. Although he tried to be humble, he couldn't suppress his smile. "That kid was just lucky, really lucky."

"By the way, you've made quite a commotion on this trip."

As he spoke, he pulled out an academic journal from the side, flipped to a certain page, and waved it in front of the camera.

"Did you see that? Zheng Hui's paper on the ancient Pokémon has been published."

Jiang Chuan glanced at the screen.

The journal cover is very formal, and the title font is bold.

Professor Oak turned to the inner pages.

"This is the research area for the ancient giant Dragonite."

He pointed to the bottom of the page.

"Zhenghui added a special thank-you note—'The most important data provider, Jiang Chuan.'"

Professor Oak looked up, his gaze behind his glasses filled with approval.

"This paper has caused quite a stir in the academic community. Your name is on the list, and many people in the field already remember it."

Jiang Chuan nodded.

Professor Oak continued counting.

"Then there was the L. Surge incident in Konoha City. Although the official report didn't mention your name directly, those in the know know who handled it."

"Not to mention Lampurch City, the Great Bird Hero, people still call him that now."

He paused.

"You've certainly made quite a splash on this trip."

"It was just something I did on the way," Jiang Chuan replied modestly to Professor Oak.

"Masahiro really stole the show today, while my academic research hasn't made any progress yet." Professor Oki's implication was quite clear, meaning, "Jiangchuan, next time there's data like this, please prioritize me."

Jiang Chuan listened and waited for him to finish speaking.

Then he smiled and said.

"Doctor, this is the reason I'm contacting you."

Professor Oak raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

"I'm going to send back two Pokémon in special states." Jiang Chuan paused for a moment. "I'm sure you'll like them."

Professor Oak's eyes lit up.

"Special status? What special status? Like that little giant crab from last time?"

The giant crab that Jiangchuan sent back last time was ridiculously small, but it gave Professor Oak a lot of special data, which led to him publishing a short paper.

He still thinks about it now.

Jiang Chuan didn't say much.

He turned and waved towards the tent.

Hanako was squatting down feeding a pink Butterfly, while Kasumi was playing with Egawa's Butterfly next to her.

Seeing Jiang Chuan wave, Hanako gently nudged the pink Butterfly.

"Go."

A pink butterfly flapped its wings and took flight.

Jiangchuan's Ba Dahu also followed.

Two giant butterflies landed on the rocks beside Jiang Chuan, one after the other.

Jiang Chuan pointed the communicator camera at them.

Professor Oak's face froze instantly.

three seconds.

Five seconds.

ten seconds.

His glasses almost slipped off.

"This...this is..."

He suddenly leaned close to the screen, his entire face almost touching it.

"The one on the left! Those patterns on its wings! They're not natural, are they?! Are they special patterns that formed later in life?"

His breathing became labored.

"The one on the right! Sparkling pink! And it's a completely natural pink Butterfree! This level of rarity..."

Professor Oak clutched his chest, his heart seemingly beating a little fast.

"Jiang Chuan kid...where did you get this?"

Jiang Chuan spoke calmly.

"The one on the left is the one I raised myself. The one on the right is my girlfriend whom I just got together with."

Professor Oak: "..."

He took a deep breath.

He took another deep breath.

"Do you know what these two Butterfree butterflies mean?"

He pointed at the screen, his fingers trembling.

"The one on the left is an ultimate example of post-natal enhancement. Those patterns, those thick tentacles, that size! This is living material for studying the ultimate potential of Flying-type Pokémon!"

"The one on the right is a rare, naturally shimmering individual. The purity of its pink color and the luster of its wings make it a top-tier sample even within the entire Butterfly population's genetic research!"

He paused, his voice rising eight octaves.

"These two together are practically the perfect comparison group for the Butterfree species!"

Jiang Chuan waited for him to finish his excitement.

"Doctor, Butterfree is at its breeding season."

Professor Oak was taken aback.

"Reproduction period?"

"Hmm." Jiang Chuan pointed to the two Butterfree butterflies. "They're a couple now and need to find a suitable place to reproduce."

He paused.

"Could you please make some arrangements for me? If you can't manage it on your end, I can contact Researcher Zheng Hui again."

"After Zheng Hui's paper was published, he seemed to have a lot of free time, so he should have had time to help out."

Professor Oak's expression changed instantly.

"etc!"

He sat up straight, his expression serious.

"What, Zheng Hui! I'll handle it! I'll take care of it!"

Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow.

"Is it convenient for you?"

"Convenient! Of course it's convenient!" Professor Oak patted his chest confidently. "Viridian Forest is so big, I'll carve out a separate forest for them! Guaranteed safe environment, plenty of food, and no predators!"

He spoke with absolute certainty.

Jiang Chuan's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

Professor Oak continues.

"These two Butterfree butterflies are too special and must be given special protection! If their offspring can inherit some of their characteristics, it would be of great significance to the entire academic community..."

As he spoke, he became excited himself.

Jiang Chuan didn't expose him.

Zheng Hui's paper on ultra-ancient times has certainly made headlines this year.

Professor Oak may not say it, but he's definitely holding back his anger.

Now that two top-quality Butterfree have suddenly appeared and delivered themselves to his doorstep, how could he possibly give them to Zheng Hui?

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Doctor," Jiang Chuan said.

"No trouble at all!" Professor Oak waved his hand, grinning from ear to ear. "Don't worry, I'll return both Butterfree to you perfectly safe and sound after the breeding season!"

Jiang Chuan nodded.

He took out two empty teleportation balls and aimed them at the two Butterfree giant butterflies on the reef.

A red light flashed.

Two giant butterflies were captured in the ball.

The conveyor system is activated.

Two more red lights appeared, and the teleportation ball disappeared into thin air.

On the other end of the communicator, Professor Oak was already rubbing his hands together, waiting to receive the message.

"We've arrived! I see the teleportation notification!"

He turned and ran.

He suddenly stopped and turned to look at Jiang Chuan.

"By the way, kid, you said you had three badges, right?"

"Um."

"Where to next?"

"Golden City".

Professor Oak paused for a moment.

"In Golden City..."

"Be careful. That brothel owner... is not simple." After giving Jiang Chuan a few more instructions, he hung up the phone.

…………

Jiang Chuan put away the communicator.

A system notification sounded in my ear.

【Ding! 】

[The quest "Refuse to release Butterfree! Help Butterfree find a girlfriend while also refraining from releasing it" is complete!]

[Rewards are being distributed]

[Butterfly's Special Powerful Boost Fruit x1: After Butterfree uses this, its potential level increases by 1. Already added to system inventory.]

[Mega Flying Berry x1: When consumed by a Flying-type Pokémon, it grants a significant positive boost to its size and lifespan. Already added to system inventory.]

Jiang Chuan glanced at the backpack interface.

The two fruits lay quietly in the grid, perfect!

…………

Hanako and Kasumi walked over.

Hanako glanced at the communicator in his hand.

"Who did you contact?"

"Yes. Professor Oak will be in charge of arranging the breeding grounds."

Hanako nodded, then looked up at the sky.

The swarm of giant butterflies is still flying.

The wings, densely packed, shimmered with various colors in the sunlight.

Xiaoxia leaned closer and took Jiang Chuan's arm.

"Those two Butterflies are gone... I'm a little sad to see them go."

Jiang Chuan looked down at her.

"It's not like I'm not coming back."

Xiaoxia pouted.

"I know, it's just that the way they were together just now...it was kind of sweet."

Hanako smiled softly.

"Xiaoxia, you're thinking about it again?"

Xiaoxia blushed.

"What are you saying, Hanako-nee! I-I didn't!"

As she spoke, she leaned even closer to Jiang Chuan's arm.

Hanako just smiled and didn't say anything.

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

The three stood on the beach, quietly watching the butterfly colony.

The sun gradually rose higher.

The sea breeze carried a salty, fishy smell, causing the hem of my clothes to flutter gently.

Pikachu perched on Jiang Chuan's shoulder, its little paws resting on his forehead, watching along.

Eevee lay down at Hanako's feet, its tail occasionally wagging.

Sudden.

The butterfly colony has begun to move.

It wasn't a scattered fluttering.

It is a holistic, directional movement.

The countless wings turned simultaneously and flew towards the other side of the sea.

Countless wings converged in the air to form a flowing river.

It drifted slowly into the distance.

Hanako said softly.

"What a nice view……"

Xiaoxia was also stunned.

Jiang Chuan watched the flock of giant butterflies fly away.

My own dog should be in Viridian Forest right now, arriving home with its pink girlfriend.

Good.

The giant butterfly tribe gradually disappeared into the distance.

It eventually disappeared into the line where the sea meets the sky.

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

Xiaoxia looked away first.

"Shall we go?"

Hanako nodded.

Jiang Chuan turned around.

The three continued forward along the coastline.

Pikachu shifted its position on Jiang Chuan's shoulder, its tail swaying back and forth.

Ibu skipped and hopped along Hanako's feet.

The sea breeze remains the same.

The sun is still shining.

The road ahead leads to Golden City.
