Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Jiang Chuan looked at the tamed Grimer, and after thinking about it, decided to just send it back to Oak's lab to upgrade it.

I carry it with me every day and it has a certain smell, and I don't currently have a particular need for poison-type combat power.

He then promptly sent the message back.

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

At this moment, inside the Oki Research Institute.

Professor Oak was happily cooking a bowl of seafood noodles.

The pot was bubbling away, and the aroma of fresh shrimp and clams filled the whole house.

He was humming a song, in a particularly good mood.

"The weather's nice today, and the noodles turned out great too~ Perfect~"

Suddenly, a "ding" sounded in the research institute.

Professor Oak was taken aback.

"Oh? Someone's saying Pokémon are back?"

He put down his chopsticks and walked towards the teleportation device.

"Who could it be at this time?"

He walked up to the teleportation device and saw his name on the display screen.

"Ah! It's Jiangchuan!"

Professor Oak immediately became excited.

"What good stuff has that kid caught this time?"

He rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation.

Jiang Chuan, that kid, always sends back rare finds.

I wonder what kind of treasure it is this time.

Professor Oak thought to himself with satisfaction as he picked up the Poké Ball from the teleportation device.

Huh?

He leaned closer and took a sniff.

Why does it smell so good?

It looks like perfume.

"This kid is quite particular; he even sprays perfume on his Poké Balls."

Professor Oak muttered to himself as he pressed the release button.

"Let me see what good stuff this time..."

A flash of red light.

Smell-laden mud appeared on the floor of the research institute.

next second.

A strong, suffocating stench instantly filled the entire room.

Professor Oak's smile froze on his face.

"Ugh~"

He suddenly covered his nose, bent over, and began to dry heave.

"What...what is this?!"

Tears welled up in his eyes, and he quickly pinched his nose.

But the stench still got into his nose, making him dizzy and lightheaded.

"Jiang Chuan! You brat!"

Professor Oak roared, his voice distorted.

"Why did you catch a stinky mud thing?!"

"And!! They even sent it back right at dinner time!"

"You did this on purpose, didn't you! Ugh~ Ugh~"

He gagged twice more, and tears streamed down his face.

"You brat! Ugh~"

Professor Oak cursed as he ran to the window and frantically pushed it open.

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

Meanwhile, far away in Black Cloud City, Jiang Chuan was enjoying a meal in the Pokémon Center's restaurant.

He smiled slightly, revealing a meaningful expression.

.........

Night falls exceptionally early in Black Cloud City.

It wasn't because of the time, but because of the weather.

The dark clouds hung low, completely shrouding the entire city.

Although the streetlights were on, the light didn't shine very far before being swallowed up by the darkness.

In the lobby of the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy glanced at the sky outside the window and frowned.

"This weather...it looks like it's going to pour."

She walked to the door, closed the glass door, and pressed the latch on the side of the door.

With a click, the door locked.

"That's all for today, no more new guests." Miss Joey stretched, her full breasts creating an alluring curve under her nurse's uniform.

She turned to look at the people in the hall.

"You should get some rest too. I've arranged rooms for you."

Hanako nodded and yawned.

"I am indeed a bit tired."

Although she didn't move around much today, she was still a bit mentally exhausted after a long day.

Xiaoxia rubbed her eyes too: "Me too, my eyelids are drooping."

Miss Joey took out several keys from behind the counter and handed them to them.

"Second floor, rooms 203 and 204 are next to each other."

Hanako took the keys and looked at Jiang Chuan: "Aren't you going to rest?"

Jiang Chuan leaned back in his chair and shook his head: "I'll sit for a while longer, you guys go ahead."

"Then don't stay out too late," Hanako advised, pulling Kasumi upstairs.

Xiaoxia took two steps and suddenly turned back to look at Jiang Chuan.

"By the way, that stinky Mud... don't let it out again! I don't want to be woken up by its stench in the middle of the night!"

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's been sent back to the research institute."

"That's good." Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief and turned to follow Hanako.

Two women walked up the stairs, their footsteps fading into the distance.

Miss Joey didn't leave immediately. Instead, she leaned against the counter and tilted her head to look at Jiang Chuan.

"Aren't you going to rest?"

"Mm." Jiang Chuan nodded. "I'm used to staying up late."

Miss Joey blinked but didn't ask any further questions.

"I'll go tidy up the treatment room first. I need to check those Pokémon again today."

As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the treatment room.

After walking a few steps, he turned back to look at Jiang Chuan again.

His eyes held a meaning that was hard to define.

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

The hall quickly quieted down.

Jiang Chuan was the only one left sitting in the chair.

He closed his eyes, seemingly resting.

In fact, he was waiting.

After everyone had fallen asleep.

Time passed by, second by second.

One by one, the lights in the corridor went out.

Miss Joey came out of the treatment room, glanced at Jiang Chuan in the lobby, hesitated for a moment, but decided not to disturb him and went upstairs by herself.

Another half hour passed.

The entire Pokémon Center fell completely silent.

Only the outdoor unit of the air conditioner makes a low buzzing sound.

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes.

He stood up, walked to the top of the stairs, and looked up.

The second-floor corridor was pitch black, and all the doors were closed.

He turned and went back into the hall, taking a black windbreaker out of his backpack.

Replace it.

Zip the zipper all the way up and pull the hat up over your head.

He was almost completely enveloped in darkness.

Then, he walked deeper into the Pokémon Center.

That's the Pokémon rest area.

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

The door to the rest area is made of glass and has a sign that reads "No entry for non-staff members".

Jiang Chuan pushed open the door and went inside.

Inside are rows of transparent rest cabins.

There was a Pokémon sleeping peacefully in each cabin.

Some were curled up in a ball, while others were sprawled out in various poses.

The environment inside the cabin simulates the habitat best suited for them.

There are deserts, forests, and bodies of water...

Jiang Chuan walked to a rest cabin in the corner.

Inside, a soft little blanket was laid out, and two fluffy little creatures were huddled together.

It's Pikachu and Eevee.

Pikachu lay on its side, one of its little paws resting on Eevee.

Eevee curled up in Pikachu's arms, its little head resting on Pikachu's belly.

The two little ones were breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.

Jiang Chuan smiled and squatted down.

He closed his eyes, and the wave-guiding power within his body slowly spread.

An invisible wave penetrated the glass of the rest pod and touched Pikachu's consciousness.

"Pikachu."

.........

Pikachu's ears twitched.

It groggily opened its eyes and yawned.

Then, it sensed it.

The master's waveguide.

It is being called.

Pikachu instantly woke up.

It carefully withdrew its little paw from Eevee's body, very gently.

Ibrahimovic grunted, rolled over, and went back to sleep.

Pikachu breathed a sigh of relief and crawled out of the blanket.

It glanced back at Eevee, then used its little paws to pull the blanket up to cover Eevee's exposed belly.

Then, it gently jumped down from the rest cabin and ran to Jiang Chuan.

"Pikachu Pikachu~"

It chirped softly, its eyes sparkling.

Jiang Chuan squatted down and hugged Pikachu into his arms.

Pikachu's body is warm, fluffy, and feels great to the touch.

Jiang Chuan rubbed its head and said in a low voice, "Come on, I'll take you to see a lightning-type expert."

Pikachu tilted its head: "Pika?"

"We might have to fight," Jiang Chuan chuckled. "Are you scared?"

Pikachu's eyes lit up instantly.

It jumped out of Jiang Chuan's arms, clenched its two little paws into fists, and assumed a fighting stance.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

His little face was practically screaming "Bring it on!"

Jiang Chuan was amused by it and hugged Pikachu back into his arms.

"I'm gone."

He closed his eyes, and superpowers surged within him.

An invisible force enveloped him and Pikachu.

next second.

Space distortion.

……

When I opened my eyes again, I was already on the street.

A strong wind howled, making Jiang Chuan's windbreaker flutter loudly.

The raindrops hit my face, cold and painful.

Pikachu shrank its neck and buried its face in Jiang Chuan's arms.

"This rain is really heavy..." Jiang Chuan muttered, pulling his hat down to cover his face.

He looked up and glanced in the direction he was in.

Northeast.

The clouds over there were even thicker, and lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, turning the sky a ghastly white.

Boom!

A thunderous roar erupted, shaking the ground.

Jiang Chuan hugged Pikachu tightly and walked quickly in that direction.

……

After walking for about twenty minutes, the surrounding buildings became increasingly dilapidated.

The road surface was full of potholes, and the water was ankle-deep.

The streetlights were broken, and only the occasional flash of lightning could illuminate the road ahead.

Jiang Chuan slowed his pace and lowered his body.

Because a figure appeared ahead.

more than one.

There are many.

Jiang Chuan slipped behind an abandoned building and peered out.

On the street, groups of two or three people were heading in the same direction.

They were wearing different clothes, so it was obvious they weren't a group.

At the front were several men dressed in black, their bodies completely covered except for their eyes.

They walked quickly, with Poké Balls strapped to their waists; they were clearly trainers.

Several people dressed in dark yellow clothes followed behind.

Jiang Chuan's eyes narrowed.

There was a red "R" on the shirt.

The letter R is very eye-catching, and it is particularly dazzling under the light of the lightning.

The Rockets are involved too?

Further on, Jiang Chuan saw some people dressed in ninja outfits.

They moved with lightness, their footsteps barely making a sound, leaping and darting between buildings.

Their movements were quick and agile, clearly indicating they were well-trained.

There were other people scattered around, dressed in various ways, both men and women.

Some carried large backpacks, while others held strange instruments in their hands.

A mixed bag.

But the goals seem to be the same.

They're all heading northeast.

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes.

So many forces appearing at the same time...

It looks like we'll really see Zapdos tonight.

……

Jiang Chuan did not rush to follow, but continued to observe.

He discovered that these forces were not on good terms with each other.

The men in black go their own way, Team Rocket goes their own way, and the ninjas go their own way.

They maintained a distance from each other, wary of one another.

If someone gets too close, the other party will immediately become wary.

"It's not a cooperative relationship..." Jiang Chuan's lips curled up.

That makes things easier.

Only when they fight their own battles can they have the opportunity to reap the benefits.

Jiang Chuan and the last group of people walked over before emerging from their hiding place.

He lowered his head, hugged Pikachu, and followed them at a distance.

……

We walked for another ten minutes.

A huge building appeared ahead.

An abandoned power plant.

The factory buildings were tall and dilapidated, with vines and rust covering the walls.

Most of the windows were shattered, their dark openings resembling countless eyes.

The most striking sight was the sky above the power plant.

The darkest clouds gathered there, like a giant vortex.

Lightning bolts struck one after another, all hitting a certain area of ​​the power plant.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunder was deafening, and the ground trembled.

Occasionally, lightning would strike into the factory, and through the broken windows, a flash of blue and white light could be seen inside.

Pikachu peeked out from Jiang Chuan's arms, staring at the lightning in the sky, its little face full of shock.

"Pikachu..."

It muttered softly, its eyes reflecting the electric light.

Jiang Chuan glanced down at it: "Can you feel it? It's very strong, isn't it?"

Pikachu nodded, then shook its head.

It stretched out its little paw, pointed to the lightning in the sky, and then pointed to itself.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

It means: One day, I will be able to unleash lightning that powerfully!

Jiang Chuan smiled and rubbed its head.

"You definitely will."

……

There were many vehicles parked at the entrance of the power plant.

There were black SUVs, vans with the R logo, and several motorcycles.

The car lights were all off, and it stood quietly in the rain.

Several people were standing at the door, talking in hushed tones.

Jiang Chuan went around to the side and found a secluded corner.

He closed his eyes, and his superpowers surged once more.

Space distortion.

The next second, he and Pikachu appeared inside the power plant.

……

The factory was dark, with only occasional flashes of electric light illuminating the surroundings.

The air was thick with dust, rust, and an indescribable burnt smell.

The sounds of battle grew clearer.

The roars of Pokémon, the explosive sounds of moves being unleashed, the shouts of humans...

They mingled together, echoing through the empty factory.

Jiang Chuan squatted behind a pile of discarded iron barrels and looked out.

Ahead was a huge factory hall.

The roof had a large hole, and rainwater poured in through the hole, creating a large puddle on the ground.

In the center of the hall, a Pokémon wrapped in electricity is battling.

Zapdos.

It was larger than Jiang Chuan had imagined.

Its entire body is covered in golden feathers, and its sharp wingspan is more than five or six meters wide, making it look like a particularly sturdy individual.

Zapdos tilted its head back and let out a long cry.

The sound was sharp and piercing, penetrating the entire factory.

At the same time, lightning suddenly erupted from its body.

Countless golden arcs of electricity shot out from its body, sweeping in all directions.

Wherever the electric arc passed, the air trembled.

……

Many Pokémon are attacking Zapdos.

There are at least twenty or thirty of them.

The most common species is the giant beak bat.

The purple bats darted swiftly through the darkness, emitting piercing ultrasonic waves.

They pounced on Zapdos from all angles, their mouths spitting out venomous fangs.

But it's impossible to get close at all.

With a sweep of electric arcs from Zapdos, Zubat was electrocuted, convulsing and falling from the sky.

clap clap clap...

Like dumplings being dropped into a pot, more than a dozen large-beaked bats fell to the ground, their wings still twitching.

Next is Magneton.

The three Magnemite-like Steel Pokémon floated in mid-air, surrounded by blue electromagnetic forces.

They emitted electromagnetic waves in an attempt to disrupt Zapdos's movements.

But for Zapdos, this level of electromagnetic waves is like a tickle.

It didn't even bother to pay attention, letting the electromagnetic waves hit its body.

There are also some electric monsters.

Those little creatures crouched in the corner, arms crossed over their chests, gathering their strength before releasing an electric shock.

The golden electricity struck Zapdos, but instead of causing harm, it was absorbed by the bird.

Zapdos shook its feathers comfortably, seemingly enjoying it.
