Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

The two walked over quickly.

After passing through a dense thicket of bushes, the view suddenly opened up before us.

Xiaoxia was stunned.

Her mouth was slightly open, and her eyes were wide open.

"What...what is this?"

Before me stood a huge courtyard in an ancient style.

The bluish-gray stone wall is as high as three stories, covered with dark green vines, interspersed with small purple flowers.

The main gate is a tall wooden gatehouse with upturned eaves and two red lanterns hanging under the eaves. The lanterns sway gently in the breeze, making a creaking sound.

The plaque above the gate tower bears several ancient-style characters, with vigorous strokes that bear the marks of time.

The courtyard wall extends to both sides, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The entire building exudes an ancient and mysterious aura.

It blends in with the surrounding primeval forest environment, yet it also feels out of place.

"So big..." Xiaoxia murmured.

She took two steps forward, looked up at the gatehouse, and her neck ached.

"How can there be such a large courtyard in this remote mountain forest?"

Xiaoxia's voice was filled with doubt.

She turned to look at Jiang Chuan and suddenly lowered her voice.

"Jiang Chuan, do you think... this might be one of those haunted houses from those legends?"

Xiaoxia moved closer to Jiang Chuan, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes, mixed with a touch of excitement.

"It's like... a place where a beautiful female ghost lives, specifically to lure passing men, and then..."

She paused, then lowered her voice further.

"The kind that sucks away people's life essence..."

After she finished speaking, she shuddered.

Hanako, who was standing to the side, immediately changed her expression when she heard what Xiaoxia said.

"Is...is this really true?"

Her voice trembled slightly.

Hanako, who was afraid of ghosts, instinctively shrank closer to Egawa.

Her shoulder pressed against Jiang Chuan's arm.

Jiang Chuan could feel Hanako's body trembling slightly.

Her body temperature wafted through her thin clothes, warm and comforting.

There is also a faint fragrance.

Hanako's hand unconsciously gripped the hem of Egawa's clothes.

His fingers were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Her chest was pressed against Jiang Chuan's arm.

The two soft mounds were squeezed and slightly deformed.

The tactile sensation is extremely clear.

Plump, soft, and elastic.

As Hanako breathed heavily, her soft skin rose and fell gently.

Jiang Chuan glanced down at Hanako.

Hanako's cheeks were a little pale, her lips were slightly pursed, and her eyes were filled with nervousness.

She was genuinely afraid of ghosts.

Jiang Chuan reached out and naturally put his arm around Hanako's waist.

The moment his palm touched her waist, Hanako's body trembled slightly.

She didn't move away; instead, she snuggled closer to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan could feel the weight of Hanako's entire body pressing down on him.

Her soft body pressed against him.

Warm and fragrant, soft and delicate.

"Alright, stop thinking like that." Jiang Chuan patted Hanako's waist, then looked at Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia, don't scare Hanako-nee."

"This isn't some haunted house."

Jiang Chuan's tone was very confident.

"This is the Asakusa Gym."

"what?"

Xiaoxia was stunned.

Her mouth was wide open, big enough to fit a Poké Ball.

"Ashen Red Gym???"

Xiaoxia's voice rose eight octaves.

"Can a dojo be built like this???"

She stared in disbelief at the ancient mansion before her.

Xiaoxia's family owns a martial arts dojo.

Cerulean Gym, a water-type gym, is located in the center of Cerulean City and is a modern swimming pool building.

Tempered glass, stainless steel frame, streamlined design, full of technological feel.

The other dojos she had seen were all in this modern style.

No dojo has ever been like this before.

"This is too exaggerated..." Xiaoxia murmured.

She took another careful look at the large mansion in front of her.

The more I look at it, the less it seems like a dojo.

It's more like a secluded mountain villa where ancient nobles lived in seclusion.

"Jiang Chuan, are you sure this is a dojo?" Xiaoxia was still not quite convinced.

"Confirmed." Jiang Chuan nodded: "The leader of the Crimson Dojo, A-Ju, is a ninja herself."

"Ninja training requires a quiet, secluded environment."

"So it's normal for a dojo to be built in a place like this."

Xiaoxia nodded thoughtfully.

"That's true..."

She remembered Jiang Chuan saying that the leader of the Crimson Dojo was a poison-type ninja.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Xiaoxia suddenly perked up.

"Go in and take on the challenge!"

The three tidied themselves up and headed towards the Scarlet Gym.

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

at the same time.

Inside the Asabane Dojo.

In a spacious Japanese-style room, sunlight streamed through the paper doors, casting soft, square shadows on the floor.

The tatami mats were covered with dark purple cushions.

A young woman dressed in a pink ninja outfit reclines on a cushion.

Her name is Aya.

The pink ninja outfit clung to her body, outlining her curvaceous figure.

Her neckline was slightly open, revealing a section of her fair collarbone.

The hem of the dress was slit very high, revealing a section of smooth thigh.

Her hair was light green, tied in a high ponytail and secured with a pink hairband. A few stray strands fell across her cheeks, making her skin appear even whiter.

Aya lay on the cushion, propping her head up with one hand and idly fiddling with her hair with the other.

Her expression screamed "boredom".

"My brother is really something..."

Aya muttered, her voice filled with dissatisfaction.

"I just wanted to prove myself."

She rolled over and lay face down on the cushion, her legs raised and crossed. Her pink ninja shoes swayed gently on the ground.

This pose makes her hip curves more pronounced.

The tight-fitting ninja outfit hugged her rounded hips, outlining an alluring curve.

Why are you so angry?

Aya buried her face in the cushion and said in a muffled voice.

"They also want to punish me with solitary confinement for reflection..."

She remembered her brother Aju's serious face.

"Aya, your training is far from sufficient. How could you participate in such a dangerous operation without authorization? It's becoming increasingly outrageous!"

Aya pouted.

"What? I'm already pretty good..."

She rolled over, lay flat on the cushion, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

The ceiling was made of wood with a fine grain. Aya idly counted the grain: one, two, three…

"I'm so bored..."

She closed her eyes.

Images of my brother training flashed through my mind.

Ah Ju's movements were crisp and clean, each move carrying a deadly threat.

In his hands, Poison-type Pokémon were like extensions of his body, working together seamlessly.

"When will I be as good as my brother...?"

Aya sighed.

Just then.

"Chirp~"

A purple pom-pom rolled in from outside the door.

Its body is round and plump, covered with purple down. Its two large compound eyes gleam red, like two rubies. A slender antenna grows from the top of its head.

The fluffy ball rolled to Aya's side and stopped.

"Chirp chirp chirp! Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"

The fluffy ball barked excitedly, bouncing up and down.

Aya sat up abruptly.

"What?"

Her eyes lit up.

"A young trainer has found our gym?"

The fluffy ball nodded, its antennae twitching.

"Chirp chirp!"

"How many people?" Aya asked.

The fluffy ball is famous for gesturing with its short forelimbs.

Once, twice, three times.

"Three?"

Aya's eyes shone even brighter.

"Interesting, very interesting."

Aya's lips curled up into a sly smile.

"Now I won't be bored."

She turned around, squatted down, and leaned close to Maoqiu's ear.

The pink ninja outfit tightened with her movements, making the fabric at her chest bulge.

Aya whispered a few words to Maoqiu.

Her lips were almost touching the fluffy fur of the ball, and her breath made the fur tremble slightly.

After listening, Maoqiu nodded vigorously.

"Chirp chirp!"

Then he turned around and rolled away.

It was very fast, like a purple marble.

Aya stood up, put her hands on her hips, and looked in the direction where the fur ball had disappeared.

"Let me see what kind of little trainers you are~"

She licked her lips.

A hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"Hopefully it won't be too weak."

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

Jiang Chuan and his two companions walked onto the main road leading to the Crimson Dojo.

Xiaoxia looked around, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Why is there nobody around this dojo?"

She had barely finished speaking.

"Huh?"

A flash of white light.

Psyduck ran out of the Poké Ball again.

It stood on the stone ground, its hands covering its head, tilting its head to the side, looking around.

"Hey, Psyduck, have you finally woken up today? You finally decided to come out for a walk?"

"Huh?"

Psyduck's eyes were still so vacant.

His mouth was slightly open, and he looked a little silly.

Xiaoxia continued poking it.

"If we encounter wild Pokémon later, you're not going to hide behind me again, are you?"

"Huh?"

Psyduck tilted its head.

He clearly didn't understand what Xiaoxia was saying.

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes.

"I knew it."

She stood up and patted the water droplets off her hands.

Just then.

Suddenly, a purple sphere appeared in front of us.

Pom-pom.

It rolled out of the bushes ahead and came to a stop in the middle of the stone path.

Two red compound eyes stared straight at the three of them.

"Ah~ bug~"

Xiaoxia screamed.

She instinctively took two steps back and hid behind Jiang Chuan.

She grabbed Jiang Chuan's clothes from the back with both hands.

He curled up into a ball.

"Insects, insects..."

Her voice was trembling.

Jiang Chuan felt Xiaoxia pressed against his back.

Her body trembled slightly.

"You're scared of something so round?" Jiang Chuan teased Xiaoxia.

"It's furry and has compound eyes, it's an insect..." Xiaoxia peeked half her head out from behind Jiang Chuan's shoulder, glanced at the furry ball, and then shrank back.

She is remarkably quick to react to Bug-type Pokémon.

"Gah!"

Psyduck suddenly squawked.

It took its short legs and chased after the furball.

It was wobbly, but moving quite fast.

"Hey! Psyduck!"

Xiaoxia jumped out from behind Jiang Chuan and shouted.

Psyduck didn't even turn its head, continuing to chase after the fluffy ball.

"That silly duck!"

Xiaoxia stomped her foot in anger.

"Why chase after a bug when you should be attacking?"

Her cheeks were plump and rosy.

"Let's hurry and follow them," Hanako suggested. "Psyduck ran that way."

Xiaoxia bit her lip.

Although she complains about Psyduck, she really cares about her Pokémon.

Even if there are insects in front.

She had to catch up.

"Hey! Psyduck. Wait for me!!"

Xiaoxia gritted her teeth and took the lead in chasing after him.

The three of them walked quickly to the entrance of the mansion.

The bluish-gray stone wall cast large shadows in the sunlight, and the dark green vines that climbed all over the wall swayed gently in the wind, while the small purple flowers emitted a faint fragrance.

Jiang Chuan had just stopped when a crisp system notification sounded in his ear.

[Ding! Mission triggered: Perfectly dodge the traps at the Scarlet Gym and teach naughty Aya a lesson!]

[Mission Reward: Poison Sting - Increases the power of Poison-type moves by 20% when held by a Pokémon.]

Jiang Chuan's eyes lit up slightly.

Poison needle?

This prop is pretty good.

I actually have a Poison-type Pokémon, which will come in handy.

and……

Jiang Chuan looked at the mission description and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Give naughty Aya a lesson"?

interesting.

Memories of the Scarlet Dojo quickly surfaced in his mind.

Kiki, the leader of the Fuchsia Gym, is a well-known poison-type ninja in the Kanto region.

But what many people don't know is that Aju has a younger sister named Aya.

Aya also trains at the Fuchsia Gym, learning ninjutsu and Pokémon battles from her brother.

But...

This girl is impatient and always wants to prove herself to her brother.

He only learned a rudimentary ninjutsu before rushing to show it off, and he wanted to go out and explore before his Pokémon training was even complete.

It caused a lot of trouble.

Ah Ju also had a lot of headaches about this younger sister.

She was punished by being confined to the dojo for quiet reflection and forbidden from going out.

As a result, Aya got bored and started thinking about how to prank the trainers who came to challenge the gym.

Setting traps, launching surprise attacks, setting up mechanisms...

They used all sorts of ninja pranks.

Many trainers who came to challenge her were left looking disheveled and defeated.

"Jiang Chuan? What are you thinking about?"

Xiaoxia's voice pulled Jiang Chuan back from his thoughts.

"It's nothing." Jiang Chuan shook his head and looked at the ancient mansion in front of him.

"Let's go in."

The voice just fell.

"Gagaga!"

Psyduck's silly voice came from the yard.

This guy has already chased after the furry ball and rushed inside.

"Psyduck!" Xiaoxia exclaimed anxiously, raising her foot to rush inside.

"etc."

Jiang Chuan grabbed Xiaoxia's wrist.

"What are you doing?" Xiaoxia turned around and looked at Jiang Chuan, her eyes full of anxiety.

"Don't be reckless," Jiang Chuan said calmly. "This is a ninja dojo; there are bound to be many traps inside."

"If you wander off, you'll be in trouble if you step into a trap."

Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment.

"trap?"

She blinked, looked at the ancient mansion in front of her, and then at Jiang Chuan.

"What kind of trap?"

"There are all kinds," Jiang Chuan said. "That's the style of the Ninja Dojo. It tests trainers not only in battles, but also in their observation and adaptability."

Xiaoxia pouted.

"This is so troublesome..."

However, she stopped and did not continue rushing forward.

"But Psyduck..." Misty was still worried about her Pokémon.

"Don't worry," Jiang Chuan said, "It's right here in this yard, it won't get lost."

"Besides, silly ducks are lucky, nothing will happen to them."

Xiaoxia thought about it and felt that Jiang Chuan's words made sense.

Psyduck may be a bit silly, but it's always been lucky.

"Okay..." Xiaoxia nodded.

"Stay close to me," Jiang Chuan said, then looked at Hanako beside him: "Hanako-neechan too."

"Stay close to me and don't wander off."

Hanako nodded obediently.

"Okay, I understand."

She leaned closer to Jiang Chuan, her shoulder resting against his arm.

She held the Eevee in her arms, its fluffy tail swaying gently.

Xiaoxia also walked to the other side of Jiangchuan, and unconsciously grabbed the hem of Jiangchuan's clothes.

"Let's go then," Jiang Chuan said.

He took a deep breath, and the power of waveguide was unleashed.

The invisible wave spread out in all directions.

The structure of the entire mansion became clear in Jiang Chuan's mind.

The layout of the courtyard, the structure of the buildings, and...
