Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

"Alright, stop being so temperamental." Jiang Chuan stood up and walked up to Zapdos. "I know you're not convinced and think that a rookie trainer like me isn't good enough for you."

Zapdos glanced at him but didn't say anything.

"But you need to know," Jiang Chuan held up a finger, "that those big organizations didn't capture you to train you, but to study you, use you, and squeeze every last drop of value out of you."

Zapdos's eyes twitched slightly.

"I'm different," Jiang Chuan smiled. "I captured you because I genuinely want you to become stronger. Follow me, and you'll live a life of luxury, your level will skyrocket, and who knows, one day you might even be able to defeat a level one god."

Zapdos scoffed.

The electric arc flickered even more violently.

It's as if it's saying: You?

Jiang Chuan was not annoyed.

Although Zapdos is disobedient now, at least we've caught it.

This is a good start.

The next step is to level up Pikachu as soon as possible.

Pikachu is currently level 52. Once it levels up 3 more times to level 55, it will be able to perfectly control Zapdos.

We'll use the magnet item to increase intimacy later.

With a two-pronged approach, Zapdos should be able to obey soon.

As for cultivating intimacy...

Love grows over time, as they say.

Spend more time together, fight more, and interact more.

They went up naturally.

Jiang Chuan yawned.

I'm really tired after a long day.

It took a lot of physical effort.

They've used up most of their superpowers.

I need to get some rest.

He turned off the light and closed his eyes.

She fell asleep very quickly.

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

the next morning.

It was a rare sunny day in Black Cloud City.

It rained all night last night, and all the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed.

Sunlight streamed down, shining on the wet streets.

The air was exceptionally fresh, carrying the unique earthy scent of rain.

The eerie and unsettling atmosphere gradually dissipated.

The city looks much more normal now.

In the lobby of the Pokémon Center.

Miss Joy stood at the front desk with a bright smile on her face.

He was completely different from the listless and lethargic person he was yesterday.

It's hard not to suspect that Miss Joey might be a sunflower in disguise.

They're full of energy when the sun is out, but listless when it's not.

Jiang Chuan, Hua Zi, and Xiao Xia packed their things and came to the hall.

"Miss Joey, thank you for taking care of me," Hanako said politely.

"No trouble at all," Miss Joey said with a smile, waving her hand. "Welcome to visit Black Cloud City again next time!"

The three walked out of the Pokémon Center.

The sun shines on my body, feeling warm and cozy.

Hanako wore a white shirt with a light blue knitted cardigan over it today.

She wore beige trousers and flat shoes.

Her hair was tied in a low ponytail, which made her look very gentle.

Xiaoxia was still dressed in sportswear.

He wore a tight-fitting sports vest with a thin jacket over it.

She wore black, tight-fitting athletic pants that accentuated her leg lines.

She was wearing sneakers.

Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, making her look very energetic.

Jiang Chuan walked in the middle.

On the left is a gentle young woman, and on the right is a young girl.

This feeling... is pretty good.

"Jiang Chuan, shall we go straight to the Crimson Dojo today?" Xiaoxia asked.

"Yes." Jiang Chuan nodded. "Light red badge! I'm here!"

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

at the same time.

In a villa in the northeastern district of Heiyun City.

Yadai sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a coffee cup in her hand.

She wore a light purple dress today, with a low neckline that subtly revealed her collarbone.

The dress's cinched waist design accentuated her slender figure.

The skirt hem falls slightly above the knee, revealing long, slender calves.

She was wearing high heels.

Her hair was loose over her shoulders, which made her look very feminine.

There was a cell phone on the coffee table.

The screen is lit, indicating that the call has ended.

Yadai put down her coffee cup and picked up her phone.

I dialed a number.

It rang a few times before the call was answered.

"Hello, it's me." Yayoi's voice was calm: "How's the Zapdos situation?"

What did the person on the other end of the phone say?

Masayo's expression changed slightly.

"Did it fail?"

The person on the other end of the phone said they didn't know who had arrested them.

I've only heard rumors that the person who captured Zapdos disappeared near your villa.

Yadai was slightly shocked.

"Near my villa?"

She thought about it.

The villa was perfectly fine last night.

The guards did not notice anything unusual.

and many more.

A thought suddenly flashed through Yayo's mind.

That young man named "Xiao Mao" from last night!

He also appeared from near the villa.

Did he kidnap Zapdos?

Yadai frowned, thinking carefully.

But then she immediately rejected the idea.

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

How could a rookie trainer like him, who can't even afford to raise his own Pokémon, possibly have the ability to suppress Zapdos?

Moreover, so many organizations and so many elite trainers failed to catch Zapdos last night.

How could a poor boy like him possibly snatch a divine beast from so many powerful forces?

It's probably just a coincidence.

That kid just came to steal food.

It has nothing to do with Zapdos.

Yayoi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing," she said to the person on the other end of the phone. "We didn't lose many resources; it was just doing someone a favor. Okay, that's all for now. Just keep an eye out for who caught them when you have time."

hang up the phone.

Yadai placed her phone on the coffee table.

I picked up my coffee cup and took a sip.

The coffee has gotten a little cold.

Her trip to Black Cloud City was actually just to assist a family in capturing Zapdos.

The main purpose was to do someone a favor and pave the way for his daughter, Jiaozi's, future.

But to be honest, she didn't really want Zapdos to be caught by them.

After all, if Zapdos falls into the hands of that family, Jiaozi will have one more formidable enemy when she encounters them at the League Tournament.

it's good now.

None of the organizations she followed had captured Zapdos.

Zapdos was captured by unknown individuals.

For Yadai, this result was actually more satisfactory.

This way, her daughter won't have to face overly powerful opponents in the future.

It's easier to achieve results and establish a foothold in the family.

Yadai put down her coffee cup.

Stand up and walk to the window.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing her in its glow.

She looked out the window, and the young man from last night came to mind again.

Yayo's lips curled up slightly.

That young man is indeed quite interesting.

He's handsome and has a pleasant voice.

Just ...

It's too mysterious; I can't figure it out.

But it's good that it's mysterious; we can figure it out slowly later.

As Yadai thought about this, she suddenly realized what she was thinking.

She shook her head and smiled.

Yada, Yada, what's wrong with you? That kid is so attractive!

Um...it does seem big!

Fortunately, we may not meet again in the future, so nothing bad will happen.

She turned and walked back to the coffee table.

I picked up my phone, opened the photo album, and looked at the photos of the top student.

Yayo looked at her daughter's photo with tender eyes.

"Jiaozi, you must walk carefully on the path that your mother has paved for you."

She turned off her phone.

I took a quick look at the final report on Zapdos.

Then I packed my things and prepared to leave Black Cloud City.

It's time to prepare for the next step for my daughter.

Yadai picked up her bag and walked out of the villa.
