Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

The Rockets trio stood outside the Goldenrod Gym, looking up at the eerie building.

The man in the lead wiped the sweat from his brow.

"Damn it, I feel nauseous every time I come here."

A tall, thin man next to him shrank back and said, "Who says otherwise? That woman, Naz, just looking at her sends chills down your spine."

"Shut up, you lot!" the last short, chubby member whispered. "Getting down to business is the priority! We absolutely must convince Gym Leader Sabrina to join Team Rocket this time. Boss Giovanni gave us a death order!"

The three of them took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the dojo.

The dojo was dimly lit, with only a few purple lamps emitting a faint glow in the corners.

At the far end of the spacious hall stood a tall chair.

Naz sat on it.

She was completely shrouded in shadow, with only half of her face illuminated by a faint light.

But the three men's attention was immediately drawn to what she was holding.

It was a rag doll.

But it's no longer the evil loli-like doll it used to be.

It was a man's puppet—Jiang Chuan's puppet.

It's a chibi version, with a round face, smiling eyes, and wearing Jiang Chuan's usual clothes.

Naza held the doll in both hands, placing it against her chest.

She lowered her head, staring at the doll's face, a dazed smile playing on her lips.

"A-Chuan~" she murmured softly, her voice gentle and tender, "My A-Chuan~"

Then she held the doll up to her face and rubbed it against it.

"So cute~ So well-behaved~"

He gave her another kiss.

"mua~"

The Rockets trio stood below, dumbfounded.

They exchanged a glance.

What's going on?

What is this woman doing?

In the past, this woman always had a cold face and a sinister look in her eyes that could freeze you to death.

What's wrong with me today...?

Still laughing?

And he's laughing like that...

The leading man listened carefully to the laughter and suddenly shivered.

The laughter sounded gentle, but something just felt off.

It's like...like a soft knife, slowly grinding against your heart.

"Ahem." He cleared his throat and took a step forward. "Master Natsumi."

Naz didn't react and continued to fiddle with the doll in her hands.

"Master Sabrina!" he raised his voice.

Naz slowly raised her head and looked down.

His gaze was utterly indifferent, as if he were looking at three ants.

"What is it?"

The leading man swallowed hard, forcing a smile: "Gym Leader Sabrina, we're from Team Rocket. We talked to you about joining us before..."

Naz raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

"I'm here today to confirm something with you again," he quickly continued. "Boss Sakaki said that as long as you join, you'll be given a management position directly! Excellent benefits! Unlimited resources! You can have whatever you want!"

After listening, Naz lowered her head and continued to look at the doll in her arms.

"I'm not going."

The voice was faint.

The three of them were taken aback.

The leader's smile froze: "W-what?"

"I said, I'm not going," Naz said without looking up. "I have something else I want to do now."

What else would you like to do?

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

When we talked before, this woman didn't explicitly agree, but she didn't refuse either!

You could even sense that she was quite interested in Team Rocket's plan to "conquer the world with superpowers".

How come today...

The tall, thin man grew anxious and stepped forward: "Gym Leader Sabrina! Please reconsider! It's a leadership position! There are only a handful in the entire Team Rocket! If you join, you'll be second only to Gym Leader Sabrina!"

Naz ignored him.

The short, fat man chimed in, "Yes, Gym Leader Sabrina! You know how powerful Team Rocket is! With us, your psychic abilities can be unleashed to their fullest potential! We'll conquer the world! Let everyone witness your greatness!"

Naz remained unresponsive.

She reached out and gently stroked the doll's hair.

The gesture was so gentle, it felt like stroking a real person's head.

The leading man was sweating profusely with anxiety.

If they fail to complete the mission, Boss Sakaki will skin them alive when they get back!

Just as he was about to continue persuading, the tall, thin guy next to him, who was the most clever, suddenly lit up.

He noticed the doll in Naz's hand.

I didn't look closely before, but now that I'm taking a closer look—this doll is a man?

And it was a man I'd never seen before?

The tall, thin man was quick-witted and immediately found a starting point.

He took a step forward, his face beaming, "Master Sabrina, the dolls you're holding are so cute! Are they newly made?"

Naz finally showed some reaction.

She looked up at the tall, thin man, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Hmm, isn't he cute? He's my Achuan~"

The tall, thin man was secretly delighted; there was hope!

He quickly followed up, "A-Chuan? Is he your new friend?"

Naza smiled even more broadly: "She's mine!"

The tall, thin man nodded repeatedly, "Oh, oh, I see, I see!"

His eyes darted around, and he continued, "Master Sabrina, someone as capable as you certainly deserves the best. However..."

He paused, his tone becoming meaningful: "Sarcasmakura, conquering the world, letting the whole world witness the greatness of your superpowers—that's true glory!"

"Someone like you shouldn't let trivial matters between men and women jeopardize your promising future!"

Naz's smile faded slightly.

The tall, thin guy, oblivious to the danger, continued, "Just imagine, once you join Team Rocket and conquer the world, what kind of man can't you have?"

"Then you can choose any man in the world! What river, what water..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The tall, thin man suddenly felt his legs go weak.

He looked down and his scalp tingled instantly!

ground!

The ground had turned liquid! Like a swamp! My feet were sinking into it!

"Ah!!!" he screamed, desperately trying to pull himself out, but the more he struggled, the faster he sank!

The leader and the short, fat man next to them also panicked!

Because they are sinking too!

The three men's calves were already submerged in the ground, and the liquid ground seemed to be alive, tightly constricting their legs, getting tighter and tighter!

"Na...Master Naz!" The leading man looked up in alarm.

He saw that Naz had stood up.

She stood in front of the high chair, looking down at them.

Those eyes glowed with an eerie red light.

"What did you just say?"

The voice was very soft, but every word pierced the ears of the three people like an icicle.

"Say it again?"

The tall, thin man was terrified: "I...I...I..."

"Is talking about my Ah Chuan a small matter?" Naz tilted her head, the red light in her eyes growing stronger.

She raised her hand and waved it gently.

The three of them instantly became even more engrossed!

It's already up to my thighs!

The ground seemed to have a life of its own, constricting them tightly around the waist, making it hard for them to breathe!

"Didn't you understand that I said I wasn't going?"

Sabrina's voice echoed through the empty dojo, carrying the imposing aura of a queen.

The three of them felt like their heads were about to explode!

That pressure came not only from the constraints of the ground, but also from the crushing pressure on one's mind!

It was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their souls!

"We won't say anymore! We won't say anything more!" The leader shook his head frantically. "We were wrong! We'll never say anything again!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Master Naz, spare my life!" the short, fat man also begged for mercy.

The tall, thin man was so frightened he couldn't speak, he could only nod frantically.

As Naz looked at them, the red light in her eyes slowly faded.

"roll."

She uttered a single word softly.

The next second, the three of them felt a lightness in their bodies.

Then, the three of them were instantly teleported, passing through countless walls, thrown out of the dojo, and crashed heavily onto the green belt outside the gate!

They lay on the ground, covered in mud, looking utterly disheveled.

But no one cared about that at the moment.

They struggled to their feet and ran outside without looking back!

After running quite a distance, the leader finally turned back to look in the direction of the Golden Gym, his calves still cramping.

"Damn it...that woman...that woman's insane!"

The tall, thin man, his face deathly pale, said, "The way she looked at me just now, she really wanted to kill me!"

The short, fat man panted heavily, "I'll never come to this awful place again, even if you kill me!"

The three of them scrambled and crawled, quickly disappearing at the end of the street.

Inside the Golden Dojo.

Naz sat back down in her seat.

She picked up the doll again, and her expression instantly softened.

"Achuan~" she called softly, tapping the doll's nose with her finger. "I chased away the bad guys~"

She held the doll in her arms and gently rocked it, like she was soothing a child.

"They actually said it was a small matter for you~ They're so blind~"

"You're not a small matter~ You're the most important person to me~"

Naza lowered her head and placed a kiss on the doll's forehead.

"You have to reward me next time we meet!"

Her fingers slid down the doll's cheek, across its chest, down to its stomach, and finally stopped at a particular spot.

I tapped it lightly.

"Here's a reward for me!"

Nazi smiled, her smile filled with fascination and anticipation.

She hugged the doll tightly to her chest again, nestled in the large chair, and closed her eyes.

"Achuan~my Achuan~"

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

at the same time.

In a forest far from Golden City.

Jiang Chuan was standing on an open space, directing Pikachu and Wartortle to fight using combination moves.

Wild Pokémon lay scattered all around.

Xiaoxia and Hanako were also practicing their combat skills on the sidelines.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt! The one on the left!"

"Bi~"

Pikachu unleashed a bolt of lightning, precisely striking a wild Spearow that was about to launch a sneak attack.

Bulbasaur let out a miserable cry and collapsed to the ground.

"Warm-Turtles, water gun! The two on the right!"

"Meow~"

The turtle opened its mouth and sprayed a jet of water, scattering the two wild Dudulis to pieces.

The two Dodori struggled to get up, but eventually collapsed.

Jiang Chuan glanced at the battlefield and nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

He took out his Poké Ball and put Wartortle back to rest.

Then I stood still and stretched my body a bit.

Sudden.

He felt a tightness in his crotch area.

A strange feeling came from there.

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment, then looked down at himself.

"Um?"

"What's going on?" he muttered in confusion. "Why are my underwear suddenly so tight?"

He moved his body again and felt around.

That feeling disappeared again.

It's like an illusion.

"Have I grown again?" Jiang Chuan stroked his chin. "I haven't been taking any supplements lately..."

Xiaoxia walked over from the side: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "It's nothing, it's probably just my imagination."

Hanako came over too: "Are you tired? Want to rest for a bit before continuing?"

Jiang Chuan nodded and found a rock to sit on.

He leaned against a rock and closed his eyes to rest.

But I was still thinking about that strange feeling from earlier.

That feeling... was really strange.

Jiang Chuan shook his head, banishing the strange thought from his mind.

It must be an illusion.

He took a deep breath and began to take stock of his day's achievements.

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

Viridian City, Rockets headquarters.

Sakaki's office was filled with smoke.

He sat in a large, genuine leather boss's chair, a high-end cigar between his fingers, and casually stroked the cat lying on his lap with his other hand.

The eldest cat was purring contentedly.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a figure walked in.

It's a real bird.

The Rockets' chief secretary, and Giovanni's right-hand man.

She was wearing a dark blue business suit, the pencil skirt tightly hugging her rounded hips and outlining her alluring curves.

The skirt barely covered the mid-thighs, and below that were her long, beautiful legs encased in black stockings.

Her beautiful legs in black stockings gleamed slightly under the dim office lights, and she walked with a graceful sway.

She was wearing a pair of black stiletto heels, the heels clicking crisply on the floor.

The buttons on her shirt were undone a little too low, revealing a corner of her white shirt underneath, and a hint of cleavage.

Masato walked up to Sakaki's desk and stood still.

"Boss."

Her voice was clear and crisp, carrying the competence unique to professional women.

Sakaki looked up at her, exhaled a puff of smoke, and asked, "What is it?"

Makoto's expression was somewhat grave: "The recruitment plan for Golden City has failed."

Sakaki paused in his smoking motion.

He raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on his face: "Failed? Didn't the previous progress report say it was almost successful?"

Zhenniao nodded, opened the folder in his hand, and began to report the details.

"Yes, boss. The three team members who were in charge of contacting Naz were sending back messages that were 'hopeful,' 'under consideration,' and 'ambiguous but not rejected.'"

"But this time, Natsume directly and explicitly refused."

Sakaki frowned and flicked his cigar in the ashtray: "What happened? Tell me in detail."

Masahiro glanced at the information in his hand: "According to the descriptions of the three team members, Natsumi's mental state is very unpredictable and unpredictable."

"She did show interest in the idea of ​​joining Team Rocket, using her superpowers to conquer the world, and having everyone recognize her abilities."

"But this time, her attitude completely changed."

Sakaki tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair: "What caused this?"

Masahiro shook his head: "The specific reason is unknown. The three team members said that when they went in, Naz was playing with a rag doll."

"A rag doll?" Sakaki was taken aback.

"Yes, a man's doll." Masato's expression was also somewhat strange. "Three team members tried to persuade her, but they angered her."

"She used her superpowers to trap three team members in the floor, almost burying them alive."

Giovanni's expression turned serious: "Satzy's psychic powers..."

"Yes, boss." Masahiro closed the folder. "According to the three team members, Sabrina's superpowers are stronger than before. They couldn't even muster the thought of resisting; they were completely overwhelmed."

"Furthermore, Naz made it clear that she would no longer consider joining the Rockets because she has 'more things she wants to do'."

Sakaki fell silent.

He took a puff of his cigar and slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke.

The smoke spread through the air and slowly dissipated.

Just like their Rockets' plans in Golden City.
