Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

After laughing for a while, Hanako started teasing, "Oh my, so sweet~"

"Exactly, exactly, it made me blush!" Xiaoxia chimed in.

Aimei turned around and glared at them, but the blush on her face deepened.

She took a deep breath, turned around, and took the card from Jiang Chuan's hand.

"Okay! I'll accept it for now!"

Her voice became firm, and her eyes shone.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely run our dojo well!"

"Train hard to catch Pokémon and become a famous Fighting-type Gym Leader in Kanto!"

She emphasized the words "the two of us," and then secretly glanced at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I believe you."

Xiaoxia stood behind, stroking her chin, her mind racing.

If the Fighting Spirit Dojo is run by Aimi and Jiangchuan...

How do I calculate the cost of my family's Hua Lan Dojo?

Sakura-nee always tells me that in the future, Jiangchuan will go home and take over.

So Jiangchuan will have to take over two dojos from now on?

Can he handle it?

He'd be exhausted!

If he's already overwhelmed with dojo affairs, then... how will he manage with everything else?

No, no, I still have so much fun to do with Jiang Chuan!

Jiangchuan shouldn't be solely responsible for the affairs of the dojo.

I also need to train my Water-type Pokémon quickly to improve my combat strength and hold off the Gym.

I held off the gym, so Jiangchuan can go back to Cerulean City and get some rest.

Now that the dojo matter is resolved, Jiang Chuan shouldn't have to exert much of his stamina anymore, right?

Then I can have some fun with Jiang Chuan...

Xiaoxia's thoughts wandered further and further, a silly grin spreading across her face, her mouth almost reaching her ears.

"What are you grinning about? Aimei is saying goodbye to you."

Jiang Chuan's voice suddenly rang in her ear, and then a finger tapped her forehead.

"Huh? Oh!"

When Xiaoxia came to her senses, she saw Aimei standing in front of her, looking at her with amusement.

"Xiaoxia, be careful on the road and take good care of Jiangchuan."

"Mmm! Don't worry!" Xiaoxia nodded quickly, her face slightly flushed.

Aimei then turned to Hanako.

"Hanako-nee, be careful on the road."

"Okay, you too. Take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself." Hanako smiled gently.

Aimei looked at Jiang Chuan one last time, her eyes reddening again.

"Be careful on the road and take good care of yourself."

"Yeah, you too." Jiang Chuan nodded. "Don't push yourself too hard. Call me if anything happens."

"it is good."

Aimei nodded vigorously, then took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"Then you'd better hurry up and leave, or it will get dark."

Jiang Chuan and the other two turned and left.

After walking a distance, Jiang Chuan looked back.

Aimei was still standing at the door, waving at them.

The sunlight shone on her, making her glow.

Although there was reluctance in her eyes, there was even more determination.

Jiang Chuan waved his hand, then turned around and continued walking forward.

Behind her, Aimei watched their figures grow smaller and smaller until they disappeared at the end of the road.

She took a deep breath and gripped the card tightly in her hand.

Then he turned around and went back into the house.

Ayano was sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a smile.

"Gone?"

"Mm." Amy nodded.

"Reluctant to part with it?"

"A little," Amy said honestly, but with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, "but it's okay, he'll come back."

Ayano looked at her daughter with eyes full of joy.

My daughter used to be strong, but her eyes always showed signs of fatigue and stress.

Things are different now. There's light in his eyes, and he's full of energy.

"So what now? What are we going to do?" Ayano asked.

Aimei clenched her fists, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Let's have breakfast first, then go to the dojo!"

"I'm going to make the Fighting Spirit Gym the strongest Fighting-type gym in Kanto!"

Ayano burst into laughter.

"Good, good, that's my daughter!"

Aimei turned and walked towards the kitchen, her steps light and brisk, her whole being full of energy.

This is her and Jiang Chuan's dojo, and she must manage it well.

Let everyone know that the Fighting Spirit Dojo is back!

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

"Let's go, the next stop is Fuchsia City Gym." Jiang Chuan took out a map and planned the next route: "But before we get to Fuchsia City, we have to go through a large mountainous area."

Xiaoxia leaned over to look at the map.

"Fallen Gym? I've heard of it, I think it's a Poison-type Gym?"

"Yes, the gym leader's name is A-Ju, and he's a ninja." Jiang Chuan put the map away. "But that gym isn't in the city; it's hidden deep in the mountains."

"Huh?" Xiaoxia's eyes widened. "How come there are dojos built in the mountains?"

Hanako recalled what she knew: "It's said that this is also part of the challenge. To challenge a gym, you first have to find its location."

"How many mountain paths will we have to walk through..." Xiaoxia wailed, "And how many bugs will we encounter?"

Jiang Chuan ruffled Xiaoxia's hair: "Just stick close to me. I'll take this opportunity to level up my Pokémon."

The three adjusted their direction and turned directly onto the mountain road.

The light in the forest dimmed, and the tall trees blocked most of the sunlight.

Beneath your feet lies soft fallen leaves and mud, and occasionally you can see wild Pokémon darting through the bushes.

"Pikachu, you go ahead and scout the way." Jiang Chuan released Pikachu.

Pikachu!

Pikachu jumped forward energetically, its little ears standing up high.

After walking for about half an hour, the wind started to pick up in the forest.

The leaves rustled, and through the gaps in the tree canopy, one could see dark clouds gathering.

"Is it going to rain again?" Xiaoxia looked up at the sky.

Hanako pulled out a map and looked at it: "This forest is by the sea, and it's the rainy season now, so the weather will probably be like this for the next few days."

No sooner had he finished speaking than large raindrops began to fall.

"Quick, find somewhere to shelter from the rain!" Jiang Chuan looked around and saw a huge banyan tree with its aerial roots hanging down to form a natural shelter: "Over there!"

The three of them jogged over, and just as they reached the tree, the rain began to pour down.

The rain pattered against the leaves, and the air was filled with dampness.

"This rain is too heavy..." Xiaoxia patted the water droplets off her body; her clothes were already mostly soaked.

Xiaoxia noticed Jiang Chuan's gaze and her face flushed red: "You lecherous wolf, it's daytime~ Hold back! We'll talk about it tonight!"

Jiang Chuan chuckled and shook his head.

Hanako covered her mouth and chuckled softly; her situation wasn't much better.

The white shirt clung to her body after being soaked, revealing the curves of a mature woman.

Her full figure stretched the shirt taut, revealing glimpses of her dark inner contours.

She noticed Jiang Chuan's gaze sweeping over her, and a blush rose to her face. However, instead of dodging like Xiaoxia, she slightly puffed out her chest.

"This rain isn't going to stop anytime soon." Hanako took out towels from her backpack and handed one to Kasumi, then another to Jiang Chuan: "Wipe yourselves off first."

Jiang Chuan took the towel and casually wiped his hair and face.

His clothes were wet too, but he didn't care; boys aren't that particular.

"Pikachu, are you alright?"

"Pikachu~" Pikachu shook off the water droplets on its body, its little face full of contentment.

Ibu nestled in Misty's arms, its fur plastered to its body by the rain, and let out a pitiful whimper.

"Boo~"

"It's okay, it's okay." Hanako gently wiped Eevee's fur with a towel.

The rain lasted for about twenty minutes, then gradually subsided.

The three continued on their way, trudging along the muddy mountain path.

Hanako and Kasumi were being very careful, while Jiang Chuan started scrolling through the pages like crazy.

After several days of back-and-forth, the team still made considerable progress.

[Pokémon: Pikachu, Level: lv51→lv52]

[Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Level: lv41→lv42]

[Pokémon: Pidgeot, Level: lv38→lv40]

[Pokémon: Wartortle, Level: lv24→lv29]

[Pokémon: Charmeleon, Level: lv30→lv34]

[Pokémon: Infernape, Level: lv35→lv36] (Perfect Rage Punch usage count: 7)

[Pokémon: Gastly, Level: lv19→lv23]

[Remaining commonly used carry bits: 2]

"Hidoge has finally reached level 40." Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

Level 40 is a watershed moment; once you reach this level, you've basically crossed the threshold of becoming a near-dojo master.

Pikachu and Bulbasaur are at very high levels, so it's normal for them to level up slowly.

The Incineroar is leveling up a bit slowly, mainly because Jiang Chuan is deliberately increasing its Fist of Fury usage count.

This move is Infernape's signature move; the more times it's used, the more powerful it becomes.

If it can evolve into a Forsaken Monkey, the increase in combat power will be significant, much faster than leveling up two more times.

In addition, having completed the tasks of the Education Conference and winning the P1 tournament, the system has given him two more frequently used carry slots.

This means he can catch two more Pokémon with good potential and train them by his side.

"Not bad, not bad, the team is getting stronger and stronger." Jiang Chuan was in a good mood.

"Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan, come quick, it's going to rain again!"

Xiaoxia's urgent shouts came from the other side of the tent.

Jiang Chuan looked up at the sky; dark clouds covered the sky, and a rumbling sound could be faintly heard.

It's going to rain again.

"Recall your Pokémon!" Jiang Chuan quickly recalled them and hurried back to the camp.

Hanako and Kasumi had already set up the tent, and the waterproof tarpaulin covering it was completely in place.

As soon as Jiang Chuan crawled into the tent, a torrential downpour began.

Splash...

The rain pounded on the tent roof, making a sound as loud as drumming.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder.

"ah!"

"what!"

Hanako and Kasumi were both startled and instinctively huddled closer to Jiang Chuan.

Xiaoxia snuggled directly into Jiang Chuan's arms, her body trembling slightly.

Hanako wasn't much better off, clinging tightly to Jiangchuan's arm, her ample bosom pressing against it, the soft touch penetrating through her damp clothes.

Eevee was also frightened by the thunder, shrinking down next to Pikachu, its little body trembling.

"Buibui..."

"Pikachu~" Pikachu stretched out its little paw and gently stroked Eevee's little head, soothing it tenderly.

Pikachu is an Electric-type Pokémon, so thunder is a piece of cake for it.

After all, it can activate its own thunder-generating skill, so what's a little bit of thunder?

"This weather is so unpredictable! It's been thundering and raining all the time these past few days," Xiaoxia complained softly, nestled in Jiang Chuan's arms.

She was still a little damp, and her body heat radiated through her thin clothes.

Jiang Chuan could feel her soft body pressed against his.

"Because the rainy season has arrived," Hanako explained, holding the map and subconsciously leaning closer to Egawa. "This forest is bordered by the sea on one side, so it rains frequently. Don't worry, it's just showers, it'll pass in a bit."

Her voice was gentle and calm, trying to soothe Xiaoxia's nervousness.

But every time thunder rumbles, her own body trembles.

Jiang Chuan could feel Hua Zi's voluptuous body pressed tightly against his arm, her full breasts pressing against it, soft like water-filled balloons.

Hanako seemed to notice as well, her face flushing slightly, but she didn't move away.

The tent was quiet for a while, with only the sound of rain and thunder remaining.

Xiaoxia's breathing gradually calmed down, and she stopped trembling.

But she showed no intention of leaving Jiang Chuan's embrace; instead, she buried her face even deeper.

"Um..." Xiaoxia's muffled voice came from Jiang Chuan's chest, "Jiang Chuan, haven't you noticed that there's been a lot of thunder lately?"

"It's alright, it's just the rainy season," Jiang Chuan replied casually, but his gaze fell on a city on the map.

Black Cloud City!

His eyes became serious.

Last time on the Saint Anne, he had to go to great lengths to pry information out of that noblewoman, Mieko.

That woman was a seasoned veteran, pushing and pulling, never acting until she saw a clear benefit.

They have been vague and ambiguous in their statements.

Jiang Chuan and Mihoko had an in-depth discussion that lasted most of the night, which finally led to Mihoko revealing a large amount of information.

There's a lot of information, all sorts of things.

However, there was one piece of information that Jiang Chuan paid close attention to, and he kept it in mind the whole way.

Analysis Report on Abnormal Electrical Energy Fluctuations and Suspected Activity Trajectory of Zapdos around Blackcloud City (Special Observations during the Summer Thunderstorm Season)

The core content can be summarized in a few points:

Peak energy occurs during the rainy season and periods of frequent thunderstorms.

Core fluctuation area: Northeast of Heiyun City, the site of an abandoned power plant and the surrounding hilly area.

The rainy season has arrived!

The authenticity of this intelligence still needs to be verified, but Jiang Chuan doesn't want to miss this rare opportunity.

After all, it's fine to talk about the Three Idiots online, but in the real world, who wouldn't want to catch one in a frenzy and shock the opponent on the field?

"Let's go to Black Cloud City once the rain stops," Jiang Chuan said, interrupting the two women's conversation.

"Hmm?" Xiaoxia peeked out from his arms, tilting her head cutely. "Going to Black Cloud City? Isn't that the same direction as our route to Fuchsia Gym?"

"It'll only take a little over a day longer," Jiang Chuan explained. "It's been raining every day these past few days, and the medicines and stuff have gotten a bit damp, so we need to find a city to resupply."

He did not reveal his true purpose.

After all, this intelligence came from people in high society, and it's estimated that many forces will get involved.

It would be better for Hanako and Kasumi to rest quietly; there's no need to involve them in these matters.

"That's true." Xia thought for a moment and nodded. "The rain has been really heavy these past few days, and the tent is all damp."

"And I also want to sleep comfortably in bed." She stretched, revealing her curves. "I've been sleeping in a sleeping bag for the past few days, and my back is about to break."

Hanako agreed: "Okay, let's go to Black Cloud City to rest. It'll also be a good opportunity to replenish our supplies, as we're running low on food these days."

"Then it's settled." Jiang Chuan marked the location of Black Cloud City on the map.

At that moment, another flash of light streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder, seemingly announcing the impending massive upheaval…
