Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

The masked woman and the apprentices practicing superpowers around her were all shocked.

Throughout the hall, everyone practicing their superpowers looked up in unison, their spoons clattering and falling across the table.

"Master Naz...invited people in on her own initiative?"

"Did I hear that right?"

"Many trainers came to challenge us, but the gym leader said he wasn't in the mood and sent them home..."

"Who is this trainer with Pikachu?"

Whispers filled the hall, and everyone's gaze towards Jiang Chuan changed.

The masked woman stared blankly at Jiang Chuan, her expression clearly showing disbelief beneath the mask.

This was the first time Naz had ever let someone in willingly.

The trainers who come to challenge her usually depend on Sabrina's mood.

If she doesn't want to fight, the trainers have to slink away, unable to even enter the battle arena.

After all, no one wants to mess with such an unpredictable and highly skilled superhuman.

There was once a trainer who was so reckless that he shouted outside a gym. That same night, he was found lying in the suburbs, completely delirious, only able to mutter "Baby... Baby..."

Since then, the unspoken rule for challenges at the Goldenrod Gym has become a tacit agreement: Sabrina only fights if she wants to, and leaves if she doesn't.

So when Naz took the initiative to transmit her voice, it shocked everyone around her.

"No!"

Xiaoxia suddenly grabbed Jiang Chuan's arm, her voice filled with worry.

"Jiang Chuan, you can't go in alone! That Nazi... she's too dangerous!"

Hanako also clung tightly to Jiangchuan's other arm, her face pale.

"Yes, Jiang Chuan, let's go in together. What if she does something to you..."

Neither of them is stupid.

The warning from Natsumi's father was still ringing in my ears. If the legend of turning people into dolls was true, then Natsumi was a walking danger.

Seeing this, the woman wearing a mask quickly stepped forward to persuade her:

"Ladies, I understand your concern for your companion, but it would be best if you waited outside."

She lowered her voice and spoke seriously:

"The Gym Leader... she's really dangerous. Her psychic powers not only affect Pokémon, but can also directly influence the human mind. If you were here, she might affect you too."

"You don't have superpowers, and you can't withstand that kind of mental shock. At least you're safe outside."

Xiaoxia bit her lip and looked at Jiang Chuan: "But..."

"rest assured."

Jiang Chuan patted their hands, his tone calm.

"I have a way to solve Naz's problem."

He paused, looking at their worried eyes, and added:

"Don't forget, I also have superpowers. And..."

He leaned close to Xiaoxia's ear and whispered:

"I've prepared some good things."

Xiaoxia blushed, thinking he was about to say something inappropriate again.

But Jiang Chuan had already stepped back, giving her a look that said, "Trust me."

Before Hanako could say anything more, Jiang Chuan ruffled her hair.

"Wait for me outside, my little ones. If I win, I'll take you to the best restaurant in Golden City."

"...Be careful," Hanako whispered.

Jiang Chuan nodded and turned to walk deeper into the dojo.

After passing through the hall, there is a long corridor behind it.

The corridor is flanked by transparent glass walls, offering a view of the training rooms inside—full of apprentices practicing superpowers. Some are staring blankly at floating teacups, while others are trying to turn pages with their minds, creating a bizarre yet comical scene.

At the end of the corridor was a heavy metal door.

There were no handles on the door, only a superpower symbol that was slowly glowing.

Jiang Chuan had just reached the door when it slid open silently.

It was pitch black inside.

He stepped inside.

The door behind me closed automatically, cutting off all light and sound from the outside world.

The entire space was eerily quiet.

Jiang Chuan stopped before entering the battlefield.

He reached into the system space and took something out—a talisman x1.

[Amulet x1: For 24 hours after use, it provides perfect resistance to all superpowers, including but not limited to mind control, telepathic attacks, and illusions. Note: Effective only for the user.]

Jiang Chuan activated the protective talisman just in case.

After making the preparations, Jiang Chuan continued walking forward.

Light gradually appeared ahead.

He walked into the battlefield.

This battle room really is like an iron box—the walls, ceiling, and floor are all made of metal, so smooth that you can see your reflection in them.

The entire space is about the size of two basketball courts, a standard playing field.

But strangely, the other side of the venue was completely shrouded in darkness.

The darkness wasn't a lack of light, but rather a kind of... substantial shadow, so thick it couldn't penetrate, not even the light from the indicator lights at the edge of the field could get in.

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes.

Just then.

"Hehe...hehe..."

A strange laugh came from the darkness.

The laughter was high-pitched and childish, yet it carried an indescribable eeriness.

Then, something floated out of the darkness.

It was a little girl doll.

Red twin tails, a red dress, and an exaggerated smile on her face.

But the painted eyes seemed to have a real life, staring straight at Jiang Chuan.

The doll floated in front of Jiang Chuan and hovered in mid-air.

Jiang Chuan was so close that he could see every stitch on the baby's face.

Then, the doll's mouth, the corners of its mouth sewn with red thread, moved.

"you!"

A shrill voice came from inside the doll:

"Very special!"

The doll floated around Jiang Chuan once, and the drawn eyes seemed to be really looking him over.

"You entered Golden City... and I've been watching you!"

"Besides the fluctuations of superpowers, you also have some other special fluctuations!"

The doll moved close to Jiang Chuan's face, almost touching his nose:

"That kind of fluctuation... I've never seen anything like it before... Heh... Interesting... Really interesting..."

Jiang Chuan felt a slight chill run down his spine as he listened to Nazi's words spoken through the doll.

She's been watching me ever since I entered Golden City?

This range of perception is just too exaggerated!

How big is Golden City? Can she use her superpowers to cover the entire city with surveillance cameras?

This Naz... could she be some kind of yandere?!

In the original work, she did have some mental issues, but those were due to uncontrolled superpowers. But if she was interested in someone like me, a "special being," from the very beginning…

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Now is not the time to think about these things.

"Master Naz."

Jiang Chuan spoke, his voice echoing in the metallic space:

"I'm here today to challenge the dojo."

He paused, looking at the doll in front of him:

"If you're interested in me, we can have a good chat after we finish playing."

"I'd also like to learn your superpowers."

He said it frankly, even with a hint of a smile.

The doll remained silent for a few seconds.

then,

"Hehe...hehehe..."

The eerie laughter rang out again.

The doll floated back to the edge of darkness, its painted eyes fixed on Jiang Chuan:

"Interesting...really interesting..."

"You're the first trainer to dare talk to me like that..."

"Okay~"

The baby's voice suddenly drew out:

"I accept the challenge~ Come on, let me see your strength~"

The moment the words fell.

The darkness receded somewhat, like the tide.

The figure standing in the shadows was revealed.

Naz herself.

Her long, light blue hair cascaded down like a waterfall, the ends almost touching her ankles.

A red, tight-fitting short dress hugged her mature figure, her full breasts tightly bound by the fabric, outlining a breathtaking curve, while her waist was so slender it seemed as if it would break with a single grasp.

The skirt only reached her thighs, below which were a pair of long, beautiful legs encased in black stockings, gleaming alluringly in the dim light.

She was barefoot, levitating twenty centimeters off the ground, her ankles slender and her toes delicate.

His face was always expressionless, like an iceberg, and his light purple pupils showed no emotion whatsoever, like an exquisite doll.

but……

To be honest, Sabrina is dangerous, but she's also a top-notch mature woman!

Jiang Chuan sighed inwardly.

That figure, that face, that aura—if you ignore that dangerous aura that keeps strangers at bay and the eerie doll next to her, she's definitely the type that can drive men crazy.

However, being a yandere is not so fun.

Jiang Chuan is currently focusing his attention on the battle.

"So..."

Jiang Chuan took a few steps back and stood in the trainer's command area.

"Let's begin."

Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and landed on the ground, its electric sacs on its cheeks crackling with sparks.

"Pikachu!"

Full of fighting spirit.

The doll floated back to Naz's side and hovered to her left.

Naz remained expressionless, only slowly raising her right hand.

A baby ball slid out of her sleeve and floated into the air.

"Casey."

She uttered two words in a cold, mature voice, a stark contrast to the doll's high-pitched voice.

The Poké Ball opens.

A flash of white light.

A woman named Casey, curled up and fast asleep with a spoon in her arms, appeared on the field.

[Casey lv16 Beginner Level]

Jiang Chuan examined the Abra in front of him. Although it was a beginner-level Abra, according to what the masked woman had said earlier, this Abra would temporarily evolve, and its strength would surge to the level of a near-gym leader.

And with Sabrina's superpowers added to the mix...

"Pikachu."

Jiang Chuan spoke:

"100,000 volts, let's test it out."

Pikachu burst forth with dazzling golden lightning!

A powerful electric current tore through the air and hurtled straight toward Casey!

The power of this attack would be enough to overwhelm even a level 26 Casey, let alone a level 16 Casey!

But just as the current was about to hit Casey, a red light flashed in Sabrina's eyes.

hum!

A pale purple light suddenly appeared around Casey's body!

One hundred thousand volts blasted onto the light shield, unleashing a blinding light!

The light shield vibrated violently, but... it didn't shatter!

"really."

Jiang Chuan understood: Sabrina and this Casey shared some superpowers.

"Casey, telekinesis."

Naz's icy voice rang out.

Casey, who was still fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes!

Its pupils turned the same light purple as Sabrina's, and there was no emotion in them.

An invisible wave of mental energy spread out!

The metal surface of the field made a creaking and twisting sound, and the air began to feel sticky!

Pikachu froze, as if bound by an invisible force!

"Pikachu!"

It struggled for a moment, and then its body erupted with electricity again!

The psychic restraints were broken by the electric current!

But Casey's second wave of attacks has already begun!

"Instant teleportation, mental shock."

Naz's voice was completely flat.

Casey's figure vanished from the spot in a flash!

The next second, it appeared three meters behind Pikachu!

At the same time, a visible purple mental wave blasted towards Pikachu's back like a cannonball!

"Dodge with a flash of lightning! Then counterattack with Iron Tail!"

Jiang Chuan's commands were given almost simultaneously!

Pikachu transformed into a streak of white light, narrowly avoiding the mental attack!

A shallow crater was blasted into the ground!

Pikachu, with the speed of lightning, rushed in front of Abra, its tail gleaming with a metallic sheen, and lashed out fiercely!

boom! !

Iron Tail lashed out solidly at Casey!

Casey cried out in pain and flew backward!

But just as it was flying in mid-air, a burst of red light appeared in Sabrina's eyes!

A dazzling light of evolution erupted from Casey!

Its body began to deform and elongate in mid-air!

The spoon flew out of his hand, but was held up by an invisible force and hovered to the side!

The light dissipated.

A brand new Pokémon has appeared on the field!

With its upright posture, long limbs, spoon in hand, and long, thin tail, it's Yamcha!

That aura was definitely at the near-dojo level!

"It did evolve temporarily as expected."

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes.

Kadabra hovered in mid-air, its two spoons crossed in front of its chest, its light purple pupils coldly staring at Pikachu.

Naz's voice rang out again:

"Yongjira, strong will."

A mental power several times stronger than before erupted!

The metal walls of the entire battlefield began to groan under the strain.

The air is distorted, and the light is refracted!

The electric light surrounding Pikachu's body was suppressed by this spiritual power, flickering uncertainly.

Pikachu unleashed an electric shock, but as it approached Kadabra, the current suddenly and strangely bent, striking the open ground beside it.

The interference of superpowers greatly reduces the accuracy of skills.

Jiang Chuan looked at Pikachu, who was at a disadvantage on the field, but his face showed no panic.

"Pikachu."

"No need for ranged attacks anymore."

"Close combat."

Pikachu nodded.

"A flash of lightning!"

Jiang Chuan gave the order!

Pikachu transformed into a white light and shot out in an instant!

Its speed was so fast that even Yunjira's mental lock was a beat too slow!

A red light flickered in Naz's eyes:

"Mental bondage".

Yongjira swung his spoon!

An invisible force of telekinesis, like chains, coiled around Pikachu.

"Shadow Clone!"

Jiang Chuan gave the order almost simultaneously!

Suddenly, more than a dozen Pikachu appeared on the field!

The psychic chains only bound one of them—the clone!

The real Pikachu, using the clones as cover, rushed towards Kadabra.

"Now! Iron Tail!!"

The metallic tail lashed down fiercely!

Yongjira hastily raised his spoon to block!

boom! ! !

A deafening clang of metal colliding!

Yongjira was knocked back several meters by the blow, and cracks appeared on the spoon!

Naz's reaction was also quick.

"Teleport to create distance."

Yunjira flashed and appeared at the other end of the field.

At the same time, Sabrina's superpowers are amplified once again!

Yunjira's aura surged even higher!

The spiritual power, like a tangible tide, filled the entire space!

Pikachu's speed was clearly affected!

The situation has once again reached a stalemate.

However, at this moment...

The space in front of Sabrina suddenly distorted.

She frowned almost imperceptibly.

What is that?

next second.

Two things appeared out of thin air in front of her, hovering in mid-air.

That is……

Two bombs.

One large and one small, both entirely red, adorned with exaggerated skull patterns, their fuses still hissing as they burned!

Time seemed to stand still.

For the first time, Natsume's perpetually icy expression showed a noticeable change.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, and shock, astonishment, and even... a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

The nerves in my brain, which had been taut for years, suddenly stirred at that moment.

Danger!

Her instinctive reaction was to use her superpowers to disarm the two bombs!

Her eyes flashed red!

A powerful psychic force swept towards the bomb!

But it didn't work!

The bomb remained motionless, hovering there, its fuse growing shorter and shorter with each passing moment!

Naz was startled.

My superpowers... have stopped working?

No! It's not malfunctioning! It's that this bomb... is immune to superpowers?

In those brief two seconds when she was distracted dealing with the bomb, the situation on the field instantly reversed!

Sabrina's psychic boost to Yunjira began to weaken due to her distraction.

Although it was only a very brief reduction, it was enough for Pikachu!

Pikachu seized the opportunity!

A flash of lightning, and full speed bursts forth!

It transformed into a real bolt of lightning, instantly traversing half the arena and rushing towards Yongjira!

At this moment, Yunjira, having lost some of its superpowers, was a beat slower in locking onto its mind!

By the time it realized what was happening, Pikachu's tail had already regained its metallic sheen!

boom! ! ! ! ! !

This time, there was no spoon to block it.

Iron Tail struck Yongjira squarely in the chest!

Yunjira let out a scream as its body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the metal wall!

The wall has caved in, revealing a human-shaped indentation!

Yongjira slid to the ground, its eyes turning into the shape of mosquito coils.

Incapacitated!

And almost at the same time.

The fuses of the two bombs in front of Naz were burned to the last bit.
