Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Sure enough, summer downpours come and go quickly.

The rain stopped in about half an hour.

Although the sky was still overcast, at least the rain had stopped.

Jiang Chuan lifted the tent flap and looked outside, taking a deep breath of the damp air.

"Alright, the rain has stopped, let's pack up and go."

Hanako and Kasumi emerged from the tent.

Their clothes were still a little wet, clinging to their bodies and outlining their different body curves.

Jiang Chuan glanced at it, looked at it for a couple more seconds, and then casually began to pack up the tent.

The three of them quickly set up the campsite, slung their backpacks over their shoulders, and continued on their way.

The mountain path was muddy and slippery after the rain, making it difficult to walk without sinking deep into the mud.

Xiaoxia walked very carefully, afraid of slipping and falling.

"This road is so hard to walk on..." she complained, spreading her arms out to maintain her balance.

Hanako walked in the middle, and although she was careful, she was much more steady than Kasumi.

Jiang Chuan walked at the front, his steps steady, glancing back at the two women every now and then.

"Be careful, there's a downhill slope ahead, it's a bit slippery."

"Okay..." Xiaoxia replied, but before she could finish speaking, her foot slipped. "Ouch!"

Her body swayed, and she was about to fall.

Jiang Chuan reacted quickly, grabbing her arm and steadying her.

"I told you to be careful."

Xiaoxia's heart raced, and she chuckled foolishly, "Thank goodness you're here."

"Stay close to me and step where I've stepped." Jiang Chuan let go of her hand and continued walking forward.

Xiaoxia obediently followed behind him, stepping on the footprints he left behind.

That's definitely much safer.

Hanako watched from behind, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes gleaming with tenderness.

After walking for more than an hour, the mountain road gradually became flat.

The trees have become sparser, and you can see the sky in the distance.

Although it was still gray and hazy, at least it wasn't as oppressive as the forest.

"We're almost there." Jiang Chuan glanced at the map. "Once we get over that hill, we'll see Black Cloud City."

"Finally, we're in the city..." Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief. "I've been sleeping in a sleeping bag for the past few days, and my back is about to break."

Hanako rubbed her shoulders. "I also want to take a good shower."

The three quickened their pace and climbed the small hill ahead.

Then, Black Cloud City came into view.

Xiaoxia was stunned.

He stood motionless at the top of the slope, his eyes wide open.

"What...what the hell is this...?"

Black Cloud City was shrouded in a huge dark cloud.

The dark clouds hung low, as if they were about to press down on the ground.

The entire city was shrouded in the shadow of dark clouds, looking gloomy and extremely oppressive.

Every now and then a flash of light would streak across the sky through the clouds, followed by a faint rumble of thunder.

It didn't feel like a city.

It's more like the lair of some great demon king.

"Jiang Chuan..." Xiaoxia tugged at Jiang Chuan's sleeve, her voice trembling slightly, "This... this isn't some kind of demon king's city, is it? Why does it feel so dark? It looks so scary..."

Jiang Chuan squinted at the city in the distance.

The dark clouds were indeed very thick and heavy, completely shrouding the entire city.

But upon closer inspection, those clouds are quite different from ordinary rain clouds.

There's an indescribable eeriness to it.

Hanako walked over and gently patted Xia's head.

"There's no great demon king here, it's just the rainy season weather and dark clouds."

Her voice was gentle and calm, carrying the soothing power unique to mature women.

"Let's go, it's a city after all, there are hot showers and soft beds to sleep in."

Xiaoxia nodded and took a deep breath.

"Hmm... okay, that works too."

She muttered to herself, as if trying to comfort herself, "At least it's by the sea, so it's a coastal city. It shouldn't be too bad, right..."

Jiang Chuan didn't say anything, and took the lead in walking down the mountain.

Two women followed behind.

As you approach Black Cloud City, the sense of oppression grows stronger.

There was an indescribable smell in the air.

It's not a foul smell, but it makes people feel uncomfortable.

It felt like something was pressing on my chest, making it difficult to breathe.

Once they actually entered Black Cloud City, Xiaoxia realized that what she saw in the distance was already quite oppressive.

It's even more outrageous inside.

The overall tone of the city was gloomy and gray.

The buildings were gray, the streets were gray, and even the trees along the roadside looked drab.

The sunlight was completely blocked by dark clouds, with only a faint ray of light filtering through.

It was afternoon, but it felt like dusk.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, but each one of them was quite strange.

Some people walked listlessly with their heads down, as if they had lost their souls.

Some people, however, were full of energy, walking briskly, seemingly busy with something.

The stark contrast between the two groups of people made the atmosphere in the city even more eerie.

Jiang Chuan walked and observed.

His gaze lingered on those energetic people for a few more seconds.

These people are dressed and look distinctly different from the city's original inhabitants.

Some people carried professional hiking backpacks, while others had Poké Balls hanging from their waists.

They're obviously from out of town.

And they weren't ordinary tourists.

Jiang Chuan silently noted down this discovery.

It's probably related to information about Zapdos.

"Jiang Chuan, what are you looking at?" Xiaoxia noticed his gaze.

"It's nothing, just browsing." Jiang Chuan looked away. "Let's go, let's go to the Pokémon Center first."

"Okay!" Xiaoxia nodded. "I need to help Psyduck recover first; it hasn't been very energetic these past few days."

Jiang Chuan chuckled and teased, "When is it ever energetic?"

Xiaoxia paused for a moment, then said, "That seems to be true!"

…………

The three walked along the main street.

The closer you get to the Pokémon Center, the softer the city's color scheme becomes.

Although it was still gloomy, at least it wasn't as oppressive.

The Pokémon Center was surrounded by flowers and plants, adding a touch of brightness to the gloomy city.

Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Pokémon Center is still the most comfortable..."

No matter which city it is in, the Pokémon Center is always a warm and bright spot.

Red roof, white walls, and a large Poké Ball logo.

It makes you feel at ease just looking at it.

The three of them pushed open the glass door and went inside.

The hall was quiet.

The lights were on, but the light was dim.

Unlike Pokémon centers in other cities, there are no trainers waiting in line here.

There wasn't a soul in sight.

Miss Joey's counter was empty, but the Chansey picture hanging behind it was smiling sweetly.

"Huh? Nobody here?" Xiaoxia looked around.

The chairs in the lobby were all empty, but there was some dust in the corners.

It looks like no one has sat here in a long time.

"Miss Joey?" Xiaoxia called out as she walked to the counter.

No one answered.

"Miss Joey? Is anyone home?" she called out again, her voice a little louder.

Still no one.

Hanako came over and looked at the curtain behind the counter: "Will they rest in the back?"

"It's only 5 p.m...." Xiaoxia checked the time. "You're already taking a break?"

Jiang Chuan leaned against the counter, his ears twitching.

There was movement behind the curtain.

There was a rustling sound, like someone was getting dressed.

Then came a lazy yawn.

The curtain was lifted.

A Miss Joey came out.

Her hair was a little messy, with pink strands falling over her shoulders.

His face still had a sleepy look on his face, his eyes were half open and half closed, and he was still very drowsy.

The worst part is that she wasn't wearing her nurse's uniform properly.

The white uniform was hanging down on one side, revealing the black underwear underneath.

The bra was a half-cup, and it couldn't contain her full breasts at all.

Half of it was sticking out, all white and dazzling.

Her chest skin was fair and delicate, her collarbones were exquisite, and below that was a deep cleavage.

Miss Joey rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"Huh? People are still coming at this hour?"

Her voice was hoarse and soft, as if she had just woken up.

He walked toward the counter while talking.

His steps were unsteady, as if he wasn't fully awake yet.

Halfway there, the lights in the lobby suddenly crackled a few times.

The lights flickered a few times.

Then, with a snap.

The entire hall was plunged into darkness.

"Oh dear!" Miss Joey exclaimed.

power cut.

The emergency lights did not turn on immediately, leaving the hall completely dark.

Jiang Chuan's eyes hadn't adjusted to the darkness yet, and he couldn't see anything.

All that could be heard were footsteps and Miss Joey's exclamation.

"Oh no, the power's out...really..."

Then came the sound of someone tripping.

"what!"

Miss Joey tripped over something and fell forward.

Jiang Chuan felt a soft body bumping into him.

Instinctively, I reached out to catch it.

He embraced the soft, fragrant woman in his arms.

Miss Joey threw herself into his arms, her face bumping against his chest.

Those full, firm breasts pressed down on him.

Even through the thin fabric, I could clearly feel that…

Miss Joey's clothes weren't on properly to begin with, and with that fall and scramble, they slipped down even further.

At that moment, the emergency lights finally came on.

The dim yellow light illuminated the hall.

Jiang Chuan looked down.

Miss Joey was nestled in his arms, looking up at him.

His face still showed signs of shock.

Her nurse's uniform slipped down a little further.

My black demi-cup bra was also rubbed askew.

Exposed to the air, Jiang Chuan was treated to a feast for the eyes by the sudden coolness.

Miss Joey paused for a moment.

Then, following Jiang Chuan's gaze, I looked down.

I saw what was exposed about myself...

Her face flushed red.

"what!"

She frantically tried to pull up her clothes, but because she was nestled in Jiang Chuan's arms, she couldn't muster any strength.

In her panic, she reached out to find something to hold onto as she stood up.

He groped around Jiang Chuan's body, pulled hard, and used the leverage to stand up.

After standing still, Miss Joey paused for a moment.

What was that just now?

She glanced at Jiang Chuan again, almost unconsciously.

Jiang Chuan looked at her calmly, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Miss Joey's face turned even redder.

She quickly put her hands behind her back, and with her other hand frantically pulled up her slipping nurse's uniform, obscuring some of the view.

But the clothes were so wrinkled that they couldn't cover up properly at all.

One shoulder was still exposed, and large areas of skin on her collarbone and chest were also exposed.

Just then, Hanako walked over.

She saw that scene the instant the emergency lights came on.

But she showed no surprise, only a gentle smile.

"Miss Joey, it's only five in the afternoon, and you're already... taking a break?"

Her voice was soft, with a hint of teasing in it.

Miss Joey smiled awkwardly and hurriedly pulled at her clothes.

While pulling, he said, "Just a short rest, just a short rest..."

She pointed to the sky outside: "Look at the weather outside, it's pitch black, isn't that perfect for resting..."

He yawned as he spoke, "I just took a short nap...hehehe..."

Her smile was forced, her eyes darting around, and she dared not look at Jiang Chuan.

Xiaoxia peeked out from the side, looking the unreliable Miss Joey up and down.

She had heard before that Miss Joey from Black Cloud City was a bit strange.

She is completely different from Miss Joey in other cities.

Unreliable, lazy, and always causing problems.

Seeing it today, I can confirm it's true.

"I'd heard before that Miss Joey from Black Cloud City was weird and unreliable..." Xiaoxia pouted and blurted it out, "And seeing her today, it's definitely true!"

Miss Joey smiled and waved her hand.

"They're the weird ones~"

She spoke as if it were perfectly natural, without feeling that she had done anything wrong.

Then she straightened her clothes; although they were still wrinkled, at least they covered up what needed to be covered.

She cleared her throat, trying to appear professional.

"Um... what are you here for? To recover? Or just stopping by for a rest?"

Jiang Chuan stepped forward and introduced himself: "I am Jiang Chuan, a trainer from Pallet Town. These two are Hanako and Misty."

"We're on our way to Asabane City, and we'd like to rest here for a bit."

"And while you're at it, restore the Pokémon."

Miss Joey nodded and opened the register on the counter.

"Oh, you want to restore your Pokémon? Okay, give me the Poké Ball, I'll..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

Eyes wide open, mouth agape.

"Ouch!"

She slapped her forehead and exclaimed in surprise.

"Unfortunately, the power went out!"

She pointed to the light above her head, and then to the recovery device behind the counter.

All those machines had black screens and weren't responding at all.

"The power's out, the machines aren't working..."

She scratched her head, looking at Jiang Chuan and the other two with some difficulty.

Then she suddenly screamed in surprise.

"Oh no, oh no!"

Hanako was taken aback and quickly asked, "What happened? What's wrong?"

Miss Joy stamped her feet in frustration, her ample bosom swaying back and forth.

Those two big white breasts bounced up and down under the nurse's uniform that wasn't properly put on, the white flesh swaying so much it made one dizzy.

She was completely unaware that she was exposing herself, and just pointed in a panic toward the treatment room behind the counter.

"There are three Pokémon healing inside!"

Her voice changed tone, and it sounded like she was crying.

"If the electricity doesn't come back soon, this will be terrible! The treatment for those Pokémon is only halfway done!"

Hanako's expression also changed.

"What should we do?" Xiaoxia asked anxiously. "Isn't there a backup power source?"

"Yes, there is..."

"But the backup power will only last for half an hour! If the power goes out for half an hour, the Pokémon inside will..."

Joey didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
