Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Jiang Chuan was embracing Hua Zi and Xiao Xia in an ambiguous manner.

Eevee rolled over, looked at its owner, and was then hugged by Pikachu's owner. It shook its head helplessly.

Pikachu, however, was unfazed and continued munching on its bread.

Pidgeot focused intently on dealing with the pile of energy blocks in front of it, occasionally glancing up before looking down again to continue.

Hot Monkey, however, after eating for a while, suddenly raised his head, looked at Jiang Chuan, and then at the two women in his arms.

Tilting his head.

Her big eyes blinked.

That look seemed to ask: Do you need to hold me while you eat?

Jiang Chuan understood its look and replied with a smile, "Envious? If you're envious, go find a female Fireball Monkey."

Hot Monkey was stunned.

Then he continued to eat heartily with his head down.

Looking for a mother Fire Monkey?

Never mind, eating is more important.

Over there, Xiaoxia understood Jiang Chuan's words and lightly patted him: "What are you saying? Being inappropriate in front of Pokémon."

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Chuan asked innocently. "I'm telling it to find a mate, isn't that for its own good?"

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes: "You're just being sarcastic."

Hanako laughed from the side, "I think it's great. Incineroar really needs a companion."

After it finished eating, Jiang Chuan took out two more basic magic candies.

"Here, eat this."

The fiery monkey twitched its nose as it looked at the two colorful candies.

It smells good.

It opened its mouth to take it, and crunched it up.

Instantly, a warm energy surged from within my body.

It felt its muscles were firmer, its strength was greater, and its overall condition had improved significantly.

[Infernape's level has been increased: LV28 → LV30!]

Candy Balance:

[Beginner Magic Candy: 1 piece]

[Intermediate Magic Candy: 8 pieces]

【Premium Magic Candy: 3 pieces】

Jiang Chuan glanced at the system panel and nodded in satisfaction. He had successfully entered the elite level. Perfect.

I'll have a better chance of winning the P1 fighting tournament then.

After finishing the candy, Hot Monkey let out a burp and then sat down on the ground.

It looked completely different from when it first evolved; it had lost all its ferocity and instead looked a bit... clumsy?

Xiaoxia looked at it and couldn't help but laugh: "Is this really a Fire Monkey? It looks a bit silly!"

Jiang Chuan chuckled, "Maybe it's because I'm full and feeling sleepy."

Sure enough, after sitting for a while, Intense Monkey's eyelids started to droop.

Finally, he simply lay down on the ground and fell fast asleep.

Xiaoxia: "..."

Hanako smiled gently: "Let it sleep. It's definitely been quite taxing to evolve."

Jiang Chuan nodded, took out a Poké Ball from his waist, and put the Fireball back.

Then he stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Alright, let's pack up and get ready to go."

Hanako and Kasumi responded and went to tidy up the picnic mat they had just spread out and the remaining food.

Jiang Chuan then recalled the other Pokémon as well.

A few minutes later.

The three of them finished packing and stood at the edge of the forest.

Ahead was a small road that meandered into the distance.

Xiaoxia stretched, revealing her slender waist: "Let's continue on to Rainbow City!"

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

Another day of travel.

Jiang Chuan walked ahead, with Pikachu perched on his shoulder, happily munching on a small piece of apple.

Behind them, Hanako and Kasumi walked hand in hand, chatting away the whole way.

I don't know what they were talking about, but the laughter never stopped.

As we walked, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

A city appears on the horizon.

High-rise buildings stand tall and colorful, and you can see the colorful signs and logos of GG in the city from afar.

Xiaoxia took a deep breath, her eyes instantly lighting up: "We're here! Rainbow City!"

Hanako stopped and looked at the distant city skyline, a joyful smile spreading across her face: "We've finally arrived."

Jiang Chuan turned around, looked at the two of them so excited, and couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you two so excited?"

"You don't understand!" Xia gave him a playful look. "Rainbow City's perfumes are famous throughout Guandu! What woman wouldn't want to own a bottle?"

As she spoke, she took another deep breath, closed her eyes in blissful ecstasy, and said, "Smell it, even the air smells wonderful!"

Jiang Chuan sniffed.

There was indeed a faint fragrance wafting over; I couldn't quite place what kind of flower it was, but it smelled quite pleasant.

"Alright! Since you two like it so much," Jiang Chuan waved his hand with a smile, "Let's go to the Pokémon Center first, settle the Pokémon in, and let them recover their energy. Then we'll go shopping and you can buy as much as you want."

"real?"

Xiaoxia's eyes widened in surprise.

Hanako looked at him with a surprised expression.

"Of course it's true." Jiang Chuan shrugged. "Since you're already here, we can't just spoil your fun, can we?"

"Yay!"

Xiaoxia jumped up and grabbed Jiang Chuan's arm, shouting, "Long live Jiang Chuan!"

Hanako smiled and came closer, hugging his arm from the other side: "Jiangchuan is the best."

The two of them were on the left and right, and the soft, fluffy touch pressed directly against their arms.

"Alright, alright, stop whining, let's go."

The three chatted and laughed as they walked towards Rainbow City.

Upon entering the city, the bustling scene on both sides of the street came into view.

Pedestrians come and go, shops offer a wide variety of goods, and Pokémon can be seen everywhere.

What's most special is that there is indeed a faint fragrance in the air here.

It doesn't have that pungent artificial fragrance, but rather a very natural, light floral scent.

Xiaoxia took deep breaths as she walked, as if she were addicted to catnip.

Hanako couldn't help but take a few more breaths, a pleasant smile on her face.

Soon, the three arrived at the Pokémon Center.

Pushing open the glass door, a cool breeze from the air conditioner hits you.

Miss Joey stood behind the counter, and seeing the three enter, she flashed a professional, sweet smile: "Welcome!"

"Hello." Jiang Chuan walked over and took out the Poké Balls one by one. "Could you please help me restore them?"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Miss Joy took the Baby Ball and put it into the machine behind her.

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

As soon as they left the Pokémon Center, Xiaoxia grabbed Jiang Chuan's hand: "Let's go, let's go, Perfume Street is over there!"

Do you know the way?

"I checked the travel guides before I came!" Xiaoxia proudly waved her phone. "I did my homework!"

Hanako laughed and said, "Xia did a lot of research last night, saying she wants to buy a perfume that best suits her."

"Of course!" Xiaoxia tilted her head up. "You have to try perfume yourself to know if it suits you."

"Those recommendations online are unreliable. Everyone's body odor is different, so the effect of spraying will also be different."

Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow: "This is the first time I've seen you make a city travel guide. Before, whenever you went to a big city, all you did was eat, eat, eat."

"Hmm? I... I can't possibly eat that much~" Xiaoxia said coquettishly, and then continued to lead the way.

The three of them followed the direction Xiaoxia pointed out.

After crossing two streets, the area suddenly became lively.

A pedestrian street appeared before us.

The streets were lined with perfume shops of all kinds, with signs of all sizes hanging everywhere.

Some are luxuriously decorated, with saleswomen in uniforms standing at the entrance.

Some are small and exquisite, with their windows filled with perfume bottles of various shapes.

The air was filled with a rich fragrance, a mixture of various floral scents that surprisingly did not appear chaotic.

"Wow……"

Xiaoxia's eyes widened in disbelief.

Hanako was stunned. Although she had visited perfume shops in Pallet Town before, compared to this place, it was nothing.

"Don't just stand there." Jiang Chuan smiled and nudged the two of them from behind. "Let's go inside and explore."

The two then came to their senses and rushed into the first store hand in hand.

Jiang Chuan followed behind, watching them excitedly pick up bottles of perfume, open the caps to smell them, and then huddle together to chatter about them.

That serious little expression on her face was like she was picking out a treasure.

"How about this one?"

"Hmm... the initial notes are a bit strong, but the base notes should be alright."

"What about this one?"

"This is a bit too sweet, it's more suitable for you, Hanako-nee."

"Really? Let me smell it..."

Jiang Chuan leaned against the shop entrance, watching the two of them studying.

Pikachu perched on his shoulder, sniffled, and then sneezed.

Pikachu!

"Haha, can't stand the smell?" Jiang Chuan laughed and rubbed its head.

Pikachu rubbed its nose and then asked, "Does it taste like tomato?"

Jiang Chuan chuckled and shook his head, then followed with Pikachu.

One family.

Two companies.

Three families.

The two of them had a great time shopping, spending quite a while in each store.

Jiang Chuan didn't rush him, but followed along slowly, occasionally offering some suggestions.

"This smells nice."

"This suits you."

"This... um, this is a bit too strong."

Xiaoxia looked at him in surprise: "You know about this?"

"I don't know," Jiang Chuan honestly shook his head. "I'm just saying it based on my feeling."

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. What if you mislead us?"

"Isn't it all for me to smell? What's so misleading about it?" Jiang Chuan teased.

Xiaoxia chuckled: "Dream on, you'd be more suited to smelling my panties and socks~"

As they explored Jiangchuan more thoroughly, Xiaoxia became even more unrestrained in her playful remarks, and after finishing her sentence, she ran off to the next place.

They visited several more stores, but neither of them found anything they liked.

Just then.

A surprised voice came from behind.

"Brother Jiang Chuan?!"

Jiang Chuan turned around.

A boy stood not far away, looking at them with a face full of surprise.

It was the same Xiao Chun I had met at the academy before.

"Xiao Chun?" Jiang Chuan smiled as well. "What a coincidence?"

Xiao Chun ran over quickly, her face flushed with excitement: "Senior! It really is you! I thought I was seeing things!"

Xiaoxia and Huazi also turned around.

"Oh, it's Chun!" Xia greeted her with a smile. "Long time no see."

"Sister Xia! Sister Huazi!" Xiaochun kept bowing, "Long time no see, long time no see!"

Jiang Chuan looked at him and found that the kid had changed a lot.

When we met before, he was wearing a school uniform, looking like a well-behaved student.

He's wearing outdoor gear now, carrying a big backpack, and his skin is quite tanned, giving him a bit of a "spiritual practitioner" look.

"What's this...?" Jiang Chuan looked him up and down. "You've really embarked on the path of cultivation?"

"Yes!" Xiao Chun nodded vigorously, her eyes shining. "Thanks to you, senior! After listening to your words that time, I thought about it for a long time and finally convinced my parents to let me come out to cultivate!"

Xiaoxia asked curiously, "Convincing your parents? That must have been difficult, right?"

"It wasn't easy!" Xiao Chun said with a bitter face. "My parents were absolutely against it at first, saying that the cultivation sect was too dangerous and that it was safer to stay in the academy."

"I argued with my dad several times, and finally I promised him that I would let him know I was safe once a month and that I would run away if I encountered any danger, and only then did he reluctantly agree."

Hanako smiled gently: "Then your parents are just concerned about you."

"I know," Xiao Chun scratched his head, "That's why I'm working extra hard now, I'm determined to achieve something and show them!"

Jiang Chuan nodded: "That's ambitious. How's it going now? Is your cultivation progressing smoothly?"

Upon hearing this question, Xiao Chun's smile froze for a moment.

"Uh... to be honest, it didn't go very smoothly."

Xiaoxia raised an eyebrow: "How exactly is it not going smoothly?"

Xiao Jun sighed, looking dejected: "I convinced my parents to let me try the Rainbow Gym, but... I failed right away."

"Rainbow Gym?" Misty blinked. "Is this the place?"

"Yeah." Jun nodded, "My home is in Celadon City, and I was thinking of challenging the local gym first to test the waters, but..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his expression said it all.

Xiaoxia immediately perked up.

She crossed her arms, adopting a senior-like demeanor: "Let me think... I remember you only have one Pidgeot and one Bellossom, right?"

Xiao Chun nodded.

"I saw you at the academy last time," Xiaoxia said matter-of-factly. "I remember your two treasures very clearly."

She continued, "Besides, all your previous training was data-driven at the academy; you haven't had much real-world combat experience. The Rainbow Gym is an intermediate-level gym, specializing in Grass-type. Your Grass-type..."

She glanced at Xiaochun, her tone slightly teasing: "I'm not bragging, but your Bellsprout can't even beat my Water-type. Against a mid-level Grass-type Gym, isn't that practically the same as having no fighting power?"

Xiao Chun's face stiffened.

"You're basically fighting a mid-level gym with just one Pidgeot, how could you possibly win?"

Xiao Chun lowered her head, her face turning red.

Jiang Chuan watched from the side, thinking to himself that this girl was still so straightforward.

But she's right.

The difference between data training and real-world training is enormous.

There are plenty of trainers sent by academies who fail on their first attempt to challenge a gym.

Xiao Chun is not ashamed of this.

Xiaoxia's scolding made him lose face.

Seeing that Xiaoxia was about to continue, Jiang Chuan quickly nudged her arm and whispered, "Teacher Xiaoxia, don't just criticize, give me some guidance too!"

"oh!"

Xiaoxia then realized what was happening.

She's used to bickering with her three older sisters at home, and she's always in a sarcastic tone when she opens her mouth, almost forgetting that she's mentoring a younger person.

She cleared her throat and put on a gentle expression: "Well, Xiao Chun, don't be discouraged. It's normal to feel confused in the early stages of cultivation."

Xiao Chun looked up and stared at her longingly.

"You can go out into the wild and fight more to gain practical experience. Then enrich your training team—just having Pidgeot and Bellsprout isn't enough, you need at least three, right?"

Xiaoxia counted on her fingers, "Then try challenging the beginner dojo to build confidence. Once you have a certain level of skill, then challenge the intermediate dojo."

"Understood!" Xiao Chun nodded vigorously, her complexion much better. "Thank you for your guidance, Sister Xia!"

Xiaoxia waved her hand, with an expression that said, "It's no big deal. Don't be so polite, we're all family."

After thanking Xiaoxia, Xiaochun looked at Jiangchuan with eyes full of admiration: "Brother Jiangchuan, when you come to Celadon City, will you challenge the Celadon Gym?"
