Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Jiang Chuan didn't go any further inside; he just stood at the entrance of the hall and waited.

Gastly floated in mid-air, like a dutiful security guard, occasionally darting around in front of the two hypnotized Baku and Dream Eater to make sure they were indeed fast asleep.

The hypnotized white-collar workers in the lobby were still lying haphazardly, some snoring, some talking in their sleep, and a middle-aged man hugging the sofa leg next to him, muttering nonsense like "This project must be secured" and "Sister Nana, give me another chance."

Jiang Chuan leaned against the door frame and glanced at the time.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a series of chaotic footsteps came from the end of the corridor.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Everyone keep up!"

Officer Jenny's voice came from the other side of the passage, followed by a large group of people rushing in.

Leading the group was Officer Jenny, dressed impeccably in her police uniform with her hat on, followed by a dozen or so police officers, both men and women, all looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

They rushed into the hall and were stunned by what they saw.

"This…" a young policeman exclaimed, his eyes wide. "What's going on?"

Officer Jenny was also taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and walked briskly to Jiang Chuan: "Mr. Jiang Chuan! Are you alright?"

"It's alright." Jiang Chuan pointed to the sleeping people in the hall: "Look, everyone's here. There's another room inside, with even more people."

"Are there more inside?" Officer Jenny frowned. "How many people?"

"A few dozen, I guess," Jiang Chuan said. "They're having parties, it's quite lively."

Officer Jenny's face darkened. She turned to the police officers behind her and ordered, "Take your men in and secure the scene! Wake up these sleeping people and verify their identities! Be mindful of civilized law enforcement!"

"yes!"

The police immediately sprang into action.

Several police officers rushed into the corridor, pushed open the half-closed door, and then a series of exclamations and chaotic sounds came from inside.

"Don't move! Police!"

"Put on some clothes!"

"Turn on the light!"

Jiang Chuan didn't go in; he just stood in the hall and watched.

Officer Jenny walked up to the two hypnotized Pokémon, frowned, and examined them closely. "These are them?"

"Hmm." Jiang Chuan nodded. "The hypnotic tapir and the dream-inducing tapir must have released hypnotic waves, causing those children to lose their self-awareness and run off to play in the corner."

Officer Jenny crouched down to examine the two Pokémon's condition, then glanced at the Gastly floating beside them, and her lips twitched: "You hypnotized it?"

"An eye for an eye." Jiang Chuan smiled. "My Gastly learned a few tricks from an old expert, and they'll come in handy."

"Hehehe!" Gastly floated around twice triumphantly, its face saying, "Praise me, praise me!"

Officer Jenny stood up and looked earnestly at Jiang Chuan: "Mr. Jiang Chuan, thank you so much. We've received several reports of missing children recently, all in the Yoo Woo district, and we've been searching for a long time without finding the cause. Today we've finally found the source."

As she spoke, a look of relief appeared on her face.

"Once this is resolved, those children will probably be back crying by the roadside soon."

"You can just send people to patrol the area; we should be able to get reports from the public soon."

Officer Jenny nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I'll arrange it right away."

She picked up the walkie-talkie and began assigning tasks.

Jiang Chuan waited nearby, watching the police go in and out, bringing the people out one by one.

Those who had just come out of the party were either disheveled, disoriented, or staggering; they were clearly deeply hypnotized.

After assigning the task, Officer Jenny turned to look at Jiang Chuan, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but seemed a little embarrassed.

Jiang Chuan looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"I..." Officer Jenny blushed slightly, standing there awkwardly. "I really don't know how to thank you. You've helped us so much; it's the police's duty, but you, a mere citizen..."

As she spoke, she suddenly stepped forward, opened her arms, and seemed to want to give Jiang Chuan a hug.

But just as he reached out his hand, he heard footsteps behind him, and several policemen came out of the corridor.

Officer Jenny immediately withdrew her hand, quickly patted Jiang Chuan's arm instead, and coughed twice: "Ahem, well... anyway, thank you very much!"

Jiang Chuan smiled but didn't expose her.

Officer Jenny pulled a small notebook from her pocket: "By the way, Mr. Jiang Chuan, could you please register your Trainer ID? We'll send you the Good Citizen bonus and the assistance reward for this operation to your account later."

"There's a bonus too?" Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow.

"Of course there is," Officer Jenny said earnestly. "You helped the police solve such a big case, so there will definitely be a reward."

Jiang Chuan gave his trainer ID, which Officer Jenny carefully wrote down.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the corridor.

"Let me go! I'm fine!"

"I want to go home! I want to go home!"

"Don't touch me! I can walk by myself!"

A group of people were brought out of there by the police.

There were both men and women, most of them around thirty or forty years old, dressed very well, and looked like successful people.

But at this moment, these people were all in a sorry state. Some had their hair in a mess, some had their clothes buttoned up wrong, and some even had their skirts on backwards.

The most outrageous one was a red-haired foreign woman, tall and curvy, wearing a sexy red halter dress that was so short it barely covered her buttocks.

She was helped out by two policewomen, but she was still dizzy and her eyes were unfocused, clearly not fully awake from the hypnotic state.

As she walked, she suddenly broke free from the policewoman's hand and stumbled towards Jiang Chuan.

"Hey! Miss!" The policewoman was startled and quickly chased after her.

But the red-haired woman was quite fast; she rushed to Jiang Chuan in a few steps and threw herself into his arms.

Jiang Chuan felt a fragrant breeze on his face, followed by a hot body pressing against him.

The redhead wrapped her arms around his neck, clinging to him, gazing at him with hazy eyes, mumbling indistinctly, "I love you...come...FK..."

Jiangchuan: "..."

Officer Jenny: "!!!"

As the red-haired woman spoke, she moved closer to Jiang Chuan's face, seemingly wanting to kiss him.

Officer Jenny quickly pulled her back.

But this woman was quite strong; she clung to him like an octopus, muttering, "You are so handsome...come on...let's go..."

"Excuse me, excuse me!" The two policewomen finally caught up, each grabbing one of the red-haired woman's arms and forcefully pulling her off Jiang Chuan.

"Let me go! I want him!" The red-haired woman was still struggling.

The policewomen were exasperated and dragged the person away.

Officer Jenny stood to the side, her face darkening.

She quickly pulled a pack of tissues from her pocket, took one out, and handed it to Jiang Chuan: "Quick, wipe yourself off!"

Officer Jenny gritted her teeth, took out a few more tissues, and personally wiped his wounds.

While wiping, he muttered to himself, "These people are really... outrageous! Doing this kind of thing in a public place! And assaulting a police officer! No, assaulting a citizen!"

She scrubbed very hard, as if she wanted to rub off all the powder stains along with her shirt.

Jiang Chuan looked down at her and noticed that Jun Sha's ears were red.

After wiping them clean, Officer Jenny let go, took a step back, and coughed twice: "Um... don't mind them, these people were too deeply hypnotized and were not in a good state of mind. They don't know what they did."

"Of course I know," Jiang Chuan smiled.

Officer Jenny glanced at him, then quickly looked away, turning to the police and shouting, "What are you all standing there for! Take them away right now! Also, notify the patrol officers nearby to patrol all the intersections. If they find any lost children, contact their parents immediately!"

"yes!"

The police got busy.

After wiping his shirt, Jiang Chuan threw the tissue into the nearby trash can.

At that moment, a police officer ran out: "Miss Officer Jenny, we've counted everyone inside. They're all white-collar workers and company executives from nearby office buildings. And those two Pokémon have been taken into custody."

Jun Sha nodded: "Okay, take them all back to the station, take their statements, verify their identities, and then notify their families or workplaces to come and pick them up."

"yes!"

The police began taking people out.

Those white-collar elites were all dejected at this moment, some covering their faces, some lowering their heads, afraid of being recognized.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but laugh as he watched this scene.

I wonder what expressions these people will have in the company tomorrow.

After everyone had mostly left, Officer Jenny turned to Jiang Chuan: "Mr. Jiang Chuan, I need to trouble you with something."

"What's wrong?"

"We've identified the source of the hypnosis in those lost children, but we still don't know their exact location. Could you... could you help us again?" Officer Jenny asked, a little embarrassed. "I know you've already helped a lot, but..."

"Okay," Jiang Chuan interrupted her, "Anyway, I'm free, I'll show you around."

Officer Jenny's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great!"

The two went downstairs together.

For the next two hours, Jiang Chuan followed Officer Jenny around the Yoo Woo district.

Sure enough, as soon as the hypnotic wave disappeared, the hypnotized children slowly regained consciousness and began to run out from all sorts of nooks and crannies.

Some were squatting behind trash cans crying, some were hiding in a corner of the mall in a daze, and some were sitting on the curb in a daze.

The police responded to each call, located each person, and then returned them to their parents.

Jiang Chuan accompanied Jun Sha to three different locations, and only after confirming that all the children had been found did he take his leave.

"Mr. Jiang Chuan, thank you so much!" Officer Jenny stood in front of the police car, looking at him earnestly. "I will apply for the reward as soon as possible and let you know then."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Chuan waved his hand. "I'll be going now."

"Be careful on the road!"

Jiang Chuan turned around and walked towards the Pokémon Center.

About thirty minutes later, Jiang Chuan pushed open the door of the Pokémon Center.

As soon as I entered, a figure rushed over.

Xiaoxia stood in front of him with her hands on her hips, her little face puffed up with anger, and her eyes wide open.

"Jiangchuan!!!"

Jiang Chuan paused, "What's wrong?"

"You have the nerve to ask what happened?" Xiaoxia pointed at him, her finger almost poking his nose. "You lied to me again!"

Jiang Chuan blinked: "What did I lie to you about?"

"What did you say was here?" Xiaoxia stomped her foot in anger, "A legendary Water-type Pokémon! A legendary Water-type!"

Jiangchuan: "..."

"And the result?" Xiaoxia continued her accusation, "I've been here all afternoon, and apart from one silly duck with a headache who doesn't have a trainer, all the other Pokémon have trainers! They were all brought in for treatment because of headaches!"

As she spoke, she put her hands on her hips, her chest heaving.

When she gets angry, she's like a cat with its fur standing on end—fierce yet adorable.

"I spent the whole afternoon trying to soothe those troublesome Pokémon, only to find out they all have trainers. I was so embarrassed!" Xiaoxia said, getting angrier as she spoke.

"Do you know how those trainers look at me? Like I'm a thief trying to steal someone else's Pokémon!"

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but laugh.

"You're still laughing!" Xiaoxia lunged at him, grabbing his arms and shaking them violently. "I don't care! You have to pay me back! You have to pay me back my legendary Water-type Pokémon!"

Jiang Chuan was shaken until he felt dizzy: "Hey, hey, stop shaking me, or I'll fall apart!"

"Then you owe me!"

Jiang Chuan looked to the side helplessly.

Hanako stood at the counter, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes conveying the message, "You made this mess, so you have to clean it up yourself."

Jiang Chuan withdrew his gaze and was about to speak.

Xiaoxia was still shaking his arm, her body twisting and turning along with it.

She was wearing a crop top, and with this twist, her slender waist was revealed, her skin was fair, and her figure was smooth.

As she was twisting, a Poké Ball suddenly slipped off her Poké Ball belt, fell to the ground, and rolled away.

"Huh?" Xiaoxia paused, startled. "My Poké Ball."

The baby ball rolled across the floor, rolling forward until it finally reached the counter.

There stood a Psyduck.

The one at Miss Joey's feet is currently clutching its head, looking pained.

Psyduck is looking down, trying to figure out the cosmic question, "Who am I?"

Suddenly, a red and white ball rolled to its feet.

Psyduck tilted its head, looking at the Poké Ball at its feet.

Ga?

It blinked, and the question mark above its head almost materialized.

What is this? Is it food? Doesn't seem like it. Is it a toy? I don't know.

Psyduck stared at the Poké Ball for three seconds, then lowered its head and gently tapped the Poké Ball with its beak.

The Poké Ball opened automatically, and a beam of red light shot out, enveloping Psyduck.

Psyduck: Quack?

Before it could even react, it was sucked into the Poké Ball.

The baby ball landed on the ground and wobbled twice.

Ding.

Successfully subdued.

The entire Pokémon Center fell silent for a second.

Miss Joy's eyes lit up. She quickly walked over, picked up the Poké Ball from the ground, and excitedly looked at Misty: "Ah! Miss Misty, congratulations! You caught this Psyduck!"

Xiaoxia's expression instantly became blank: "Huh???"

Her eyes widened, and she pointed at herself: "Me? Subdued? No! I didn't do anything!"

"No, it subdued itself!"

Miss Joy smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents: "This Psyduck has finally met the right trainer!"

Xiaoxia: "…………"
