Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but laugh as he watched this bizarre taming process.

Xiaoxia turned her head and glared at him, her face flushed: "You're still laughing! It's all your fault!"

"Why are you blaming me again?" Jiang Chuan shrugged. "It subdued itself; what does it have to do with me?"

Xiaoxia opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but didn't know what to say.

Jiang Chuan walked over, took the Poké Ball from Miss Joey, then walked back and handed it to Xia.

"Anyway, it's your Pokémon now."

Xiaoxia looked down at the precious ball, her expression complicated.

She reached out and took the ball, staring at it for a long time before muttering, "But...it looks silly..."

"Psyduck is a Water-type Pokémon," Jiang Chuan said. "Didn't you want a Water-type? This is a Water-type."

"But it..." Xiaoxia looked up, "It doesn't seem to know anything! All it does is hold its head and complain of a headache!"

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Psyduck may look silly, but it has great potential. As for legendary status..."

He paused, looking at the baby ball in Xiaoxia's hand: "It will definitely prove itself in the future."

Xiaoxia was silent for a few seconds, then looked down at the baby ball.

Although she loves to joke and act spoiled, once a Pokémon becomes hers, she will never be heartless enough to abandon it.

This is a basic quality of a trainer.

"Never mind." Xiaoxia sighed and put the Poké Ball away. "Now that I've caught it, I'll have to train it properly as a future Water-type master. I hope it won't be too stupid."

"It will definitely surprise you," Jiang Chuan said.

Xiaoxia put away her Poké Ball, looked up at him, and suddenly remembered something, grabbing his arm.

"However, Jiang Chuan, you're not done fooling me yet!"

Jiang Chuan: "...Not again?"

"I want you to pay me back!" Xiaoxia grabbed his arm and started counting, "I want ice cream! I want beef jerky! I want chocolate! And more..."

She rattled off more than a dozen snack names in one breath, none of them the same.

Jiang Chuan was exasperated: "Are you trying to eat me out of house and home?"

"Serves you right for lying to me!" Xiaoxia retorted confidently. "You deserved it!"

Jiang Chuan looked at Hanako helplessly.

Hanako smiled gently, said nothing, and just stood by watching the commotion.

Jiang Chuan was about to haggle when he suddenly remembered something and looked at Xiaoxia with a mischievous grin: "Hey, can you have ice cream today? Is it because... your period?"

Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, then her face turned bright red instantly.

"Ouch—!" She let go and stomped her foot. "You jerk! It's not even dark yet! What did you say?!"

Jiang Chuan laughed heartily.

Xiaoxia was so embarrassed that she turned around and ran towards Hanako, hiding behind her and peeking out to glare at her: "Hanako-neechan, look at him! He's bullying me!"

Hanako smiled and patted her head, then looked at Jiang Chuan and said gently, "Jiang Chuan, I also want to eat... an ice cream."

As she spoke, a subtle hint flickered in her eyes.

Jiang Chuan met her gaze and smiled faintly.

The two exchanged a glance for a second, knowing exactly what they were going to do that night.

Xia peeked out from behind Hanako, looked at Hanako, then at Jiangchuan, and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Let's go." Jiang Chuan turned and walked out. "Let's buy ice cream, and beef jerky and chocolate while we're at it, to feed you, you little glutton."

"Yay!" Xiaoxia immediately forgot what had just happened and skipped after him. "I want strawberry flavor!"

Hanako followed behind with a smile.

The three walked out of the Pokémon Center, the afterglow of the setting sun warming them.

Pikachu perched on Jiang Chuan's shoulder, dozing off with its eyes half-closed.

Eevee followed at his feet, hopping and skipping as he chased after his own tail.

Xiaoxia walked in the middle, holding Jiang Chuan's clothes with her left hand and gesturing with her right hand to indicate how many kinds of snacks she wanted to eat.

Hanako walked beside them, watching them bickering tenderly.

The setting sun cast long, long shadows of the three people.

Inside the Poké Ball.

Psyduck squatted in the void, turning its intelligent little eyes.

Where is this?

Ga?

What happened?

quack?

It tilted its head, lost in deeper thought.

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

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but laugh at Xiaoxia's sullen expression.

This little girl has a temper that comes and goes quickly; she's a typical example of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

The three walked out of the Pokémon Center, the setting sun turning the streets golden.

The shops on both sides of the street began to light up, and people hurried past as they left work. Occasionally, someone would turn their head to look at the Pikachu on Jiang Chuan's shoulder and show an envious expression.

"I want strawberry ice cream!" Xiaoxia tugged at Jiang Chuan's clothes, leaning forward. "And chocolate too! Two!"

"Can you finish this?" Jiang Chuan glanced at her sideways.

"I can finish it!" Xiaoxia said matter-of-factly. "I'm in a bad mood today, I need some sweets to make up for it!"

"In a bad mood?" Jiang Chuan laughed. "Didn't you catch a Water-type Pokémon? Even though it caught itself."

Xiaoxia blushed, loosened her clothes, and was about to hit him: "You still dare to talk back! It's all your fault!"

Jiang Chuan jumped forward, dodging her punch.

Xiaoxia chased after them, and the two playfully bickered in the street.

Hanako followed behind, smiling as she watched them fool around.

The setting sun shone on her face, making her look as gentle as a painting.

Pikachu perched on Jiang Chuan's shoulder, bouncing back and forth, its eyes filled with longing for food.

Eevee followed at his feet, hopping and skipping around, chasing its own tail. Every now and then it would look up at its owner before looking down again and continuing to spin in circles.

The three of them caused a ruckus all the way to the commercial street.

This street is the most bustling part of Yoo Woo District, with all kinds of shops on both sides, offering everything from food and drinks to entertainment.

It was dinnertime, and the streets were bustling with people.

"We're here! We're here!" Xiaoxia pointed to an ice cream shop ahead, jumping up and down excitedly. "This is it! Strawberry flavor!"

Jiang Chuan glanced at the shop.

The shop is small, but it's decorated in a cute pink and white color scheme. There are a few outdoor tables and chairs at the entrance, which are full of customers eating ice cream.

Most of them were young couples, feeding each other bite by bite.

"Let's go." Jiang Chuan went in first.

The shop is filled with the aroma of milk and fruit, and the freezer is filled with colorful scoops of ice cream in various flavors, making your mouth water just looking at them.

Behind the counter stood a young girl with a ponytail, wearing a pink apron, who greeted them with a smile, "Welcome! What would you like?"

Xiaoxia leaned over the counter, her eyes shining: "I want strawberry and chocolate flavors, two balls!"

"Okay!" The girl picked up the melon baller. "Where's this pretty lady?"

Hanako glanced at the freezer and said gently, "I'll have a vanilla one."

"Alright! And what about this handsome guy?"

Jiang Chuan glanced at it: "Give me a mint chocolate one."

"Okay! Three ice creams, that'll be forty-five yuan in total!"

Jiang Chuan took out his wallet and paid.

Soon, three servings of ice cream were prepared and handed out.

Xiaoxia took her share, eagerly licked it, and then her eyes narrowed into crescents: "Delicious!"

Jiang Chuan reached out and wiped the chocolate off her lips.

Xiaoxia was taken aback, then her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head to continue eating without saying a word.

Hanako watched this scene, smiled slightly, scooped up a spoonful of vanilla ice cream, and put it in her mouth.

The three of them found an empty table and sat down.

The sun had completely set, the sky had darkened, and the streetlights had come on, illuminating the entire street.

A night breeze blew by, carrying a hint of coolness.

"Ah, that feels so good." Xiaoxia leaned back in her chair, holding her ice cream cup, looking completely satisfied. "Sweets really are the most comforting thing."

"Aren't you angry anymore?" Jiang Chuan teased her.

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at him: "Being angry is one thing, eating is another. They're two separate things."

Are you still angry now?

Xiaoxia thought for a moment and held up three fingers: "It takes three ice creams to calm down, and this is only the first one."

"Okay." Jiang Chuan smiled. "I'll go buy some beef jerky and chocolate later and feed you well."

"That's more like it." Xiaoxia nodded in satisfaction and continued eating her ice cream.

Hanako ate very slowly, scooping out small spoonfuls at a time with elegant movements.

She was wearing a long dress and sitting upright, a stark contrast to Xia, who was lying on the table eating ice cream next to her.

Jiang Chuan looked at the two of them and felt inexplicably comfortable.

Aside from the usual combat and adventure, this everyday feeling is also quite nice.

After finishing their ice cream, the three of them went to a snack shop.

Xiaoxia, like a little mouse, darted in and out of the shelves, grabbing whatever she saw, and soon her arms were full.

"This...this...beef jerky!"

"And this, a chocolate bar!"

"Hey, I want a bag of these new potato chips!"

Jiang Chuan followed behind, pushing the shopping cart, watching her throw things into it, and couldn't help but say, "Are you stocking up for winter?"

"It's not easy for someone to treat us, of course I have to take more!" Xiaoxia said matter-of-factly. "Normally I wouldn't be willing to buy this much."

Jiang Chuan shook his head and didn't stop him.

When I checked out, my shopping cart was full of snacks, and it cost me almost 500 yuan.

Looking at the bill, Xiaoxia stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly: "Isn't it too much?"

"It's fine," Jiang Chuan said, paying the bill. "Anyway, there's a bonus."

"Oh, right!" Xiaoxia's eyes lit up. "Miss Officer Jenny said she'd give you a bonus! So this meal is on you, it's not unreasonable!"

"You're quite good at keeping accounts."

"Of course!"

The three of them carried large and small bags and walked towards the hotel.

It was almost nine o'clock when I got back to the hotel.

Xiaoxia, clutching a bag of snacks, was already incredibly sleepy and swayed as she returned to her room.

Jiang Chuan and Hanako exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

The two then went into the same room.

Hanako put down her bag, turned to look at Jiang Chuan, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Jiang Chuan walked over and put his arm around her waist.

Hanako obediently nestled into his arms, tilting her head back with her eyes brimming with tears.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, then slowly moved closer and their lips met.

The two kissed and slowly moved toward the bed.

Jiang Chuan kissed her while reaching down to pull down the zipper of her skirt...

The oppressive city always finds its most beautiful moments at night.

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

late at night.

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes.

In his arms, Hanako was fast asleep, her breathing even.

She lay on her side, curled up in his arms, one leg draped over his, curled up like a kitten.

Jiang Chuan shifted slightly, trying to pull away.

Hanako frowned, instinctively hugging him tighter, her legs clamping together even more tightly.

Jiang Chuan had no choice but to stay still and look down at her.

As she slept, Hanako had a satisfied smile on her face, with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, as if she were having a sweet dream.

She had fair skin and long eyelashes that cast a shadow on her eyelids.

Jiang Chuan watched for a while, then closed his eyes and began to receive his reward.

【Ding! 】

[Xiaoxia has completed the mission to capture the Bond Psyduck!]

[Superpower level upgraded to intermediate!]

[Bonus Mission: Solve the missing persons case in Yoo-oh District. Completed!]

[Powerful Spirit Aura has been activated!]

[Officer's Family General Affection +10, Total: 60]

As the system notification sounded, a warm force surged from within my body, rushing straight to my brain.

Jiang Chuan felt a chill run down his spine, followed by a moment of complete clarity.

All distracting thoughts and fatigue vanished instantly.

My thoughts became exceptionally clear, as if they had been washed with clean water.

He could clearly perceive everything around him—Hanako's heartbeat, the sound of the wind outside the window, the hum of the air conditioner in the corridor, and even the occasional sound of a car passing by on the street below.

All the sounds were so clear, yet they didn't confuse him.

Is this what it feels like to have superpowers?

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes.

Everything in the room seemed different to him.

He could see the subtle energy flowing in the air, the trajectory of moonlight streaming in through the window, and even "see" Xiaoxia sleeping soundly in the next room—she was hugging her blanket, one leg sticking out, fast asleep.

Jiang Chuan had a sudden thought.

The next second, he vanished from the bed and reappeared outside the window.

Floating 23 stories high in the air.

A cool night breeze blew by.

Jiang Chuan looked down at himself, then at the street beneath his feet.

It really took flight.

It's not about relying on Pokémon, but on your own strength.

He tried to move, and wherever his mind went, his body floated over.

It floated forward a few meters, then backward a few meters, moving up, down, left, and right at will.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but laugh.

This feels so good.

He floated to the outer wall and looked at the iron bars outside the window.

These fences are for security; they're made of steel bars and are about the thickness of a thumb.

Jiang Chuan reached out and grasped one of them.

With a single thought, spiritual power surges forth.

The steel bar began to twist, as if it were being forcefully twisted by an invisible hand, slowly bending into an arc.

Jiang Chuan loosened his grip, looked at the bent steel bar, then gripped it again, his mind racing.

The steel bars slowly returned to their original shape, straight as before.

perfect.

Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

This skill will make things much easier if I ever encounter a situation where I need to unlock a door or dismantle a wall.

He floated outside for a while longer, getting used to how to use his superpowers, and then, on a whim, returned to his bed.

Hanako is still asleep.

As soon as Jiang Chuan lay down, she instinctively snuggled into his arms, crossing her legs over him again and squeezing him tightly.

Jiang Chuan put his arm around her and gently patted her back.

Hanako seemed to sense his presence; the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she slept more peacefully.

Jiang Chuan smiled, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

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

the next morning.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting golden patches on the floor.

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes.

Hanako was still asleep in his arms, nestled in his embrace, sleeping soundly.

Jiang Chuan stirred slightly, intending to get up and take a shower.

Hanako woke up.

She opened her eyes, looked at Jiang Chuan groggily, and then blushed.

"Good morning," she said softly.

"Good morning." Jiang Chuan lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Want to take a shower?"

Hanako nodded.

Jiang Chuan picked up Hua Zi and went into the bathroom.

Hanako stood under the showerhead, hot water washing over her body.

Jiang Chuan hugged her from behind.

Hanako trembled and turned to look at him.

"Goodbye, Xia will be getting up soon..." Hanako said shyly.

Jiang Chuan smiled and gently bit Hanako's nipple: "I won't do anything, just give her a hug."

Hanako finally relaxed and indulged Jiang Chuan's mischievousness.

The two took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and left the room.

The door to the next room opened at that moment, and Xiaoxia, who had just gotten up, bumped right into it…
