Elf: Rewriting the script, starting with Black Stocking Hanako

Jiang Chuan called Officer Jenny of the reserve to inform her about the situation of Caesar, the wilderness area manager.

After all, Old Deng was focused on getting the Dratini, and now that he had captured the dragon, he had no desire to stay here anymore.

This wilderness area is, after all, the home of the Dratini, and the scenery is quite nice. I will definitely bring it back to revisit this place when I achieve great success in the future.

Therefore, we cannot allow Caesar's muddled thinking to lead to the same destructive behavior as before.

After all, being the wilderness area administrator is a League official position; if you don't want it, there are plenty of people who would kill to take it.

…………

"It's me, Jiang Chuan."

After Jiang Chuan replied, the voice on the other end immediately changed, transforming from a capable professional woman into a coquettish little woman.

"Jiang Chuan? What made you decide to call me?"

"I missed you, of course," Jiang Chuan chuckled. "And of course, I also have some serious business to attend to."

"What important matter is it?"

"You know Caesar, the administrator of the Wilderness Area, right?"

"I know him, a strange old man. What's wrong?"

Jiang Chuan briefly recounted the events at Lake Yamanaka, omitting the mention of Dragonair and Dratini, only saying that Caesar's mental state was not quite right and might affect the normal management of the wilderness area.

After listening, Officer Jenny was silent for two seconds, then snorted.

"That old man, the League has warned him many times not to use firearms on passing trainers!"

"I knew something like this would happen sooner or later. He's always talking nonsense, saying he's protecting some treasure, but he won't say anything to anyone. Fine, leave this to me. I'll report it to the higher-ups tomorrow and have an investigation team sent over."

Thanks.

"No need to thank me." Officer Jenny's voice suddenly softened, with a hint of reproach. "By the way, did you see the private selfie I sent you?"

Jiang Chuan smiled and reminisced about Officer Jenny's ambiguous photos: "I've seen them, I've seen them so many times..."

Officer Jenny covered her mouth and chuckled on the other end of the phone: "Is it that exaggerated? It's okay, I'll wear that next time..."

After a brief period of flirtation, the two hung up the phone.

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

Afterwards, Egawa Hanako and Xiaoxia found a place with lush vegetation, set up their tent, and began the final work of taming the monster.

Jiang Chuan went out for a stroll, while Xiao Xia and Hua Zi were mainly responsible for taking care of the two newly tamed dragons.

They found a shady and comfortable spot by the water and released both the Dragonair and the Dratini.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling the water's surface. Hakron was half-submerged, his head above water, comfortably squinting his eyes.

The miniature dragon swam around it, its tail splashing water, and it was incredibly lively.

Xiaoxia squatted by the water and released her Water-type Pokémon one by one.

Seadragon, Jewel Starfish, Starfish, Psyduck, Goldfish.

As soon as Psyduck came out, it tilted its head and looked around blankly. Then it saw the dragon on the water and quacked twice. No one knew what it was thinking at that moment.

"Listen up, everyone!" Xiaoxia said loudly, hands on her hips, "This is the Dragonair boss, and this is the Dratini little sister. From now on, she'll be our team's Dragon-type leader! Come and say hello!"

The little water creatures looked at each other, then all roared at the Dragonair.

Dragonair was surrounded by a group of Water-type Pokémon. It looked down at them with a hint of embarrassment in its eyes. It let out a cry as a greeting.

The Dratini, however, was quite outgoing. It darted over to Psyduck and nudged Psyduck's belly with its little head.

Psyduck blinked its eyes and quacked twice, but the meaning was still unclear.

Xiaoxia's heart melted as she watched from the side. She rushed over and hugged the mini dragon, rubbing her face against its body.

"So cute! You're so cute, Mini Dragon!"

Hanako also released her stinky flower.

When Gloom came out, it first shook its head, then paused for a moment when it saw the two Dragon-type Pokémon in the water.

But soon it stepped forward and barked a few friendly calls.

Hakron looked down at Gloomy, then at Hanako, and called out in response.

Hanako squatted down beside them, watching the little ones get to know each other and rub against each other, and the smile on her face never stopped.

She took out the feed she had researched from her bag and shared it with everyone.

When the dragon ate the feed, its eyes visibly lit up.

It lowered its head and sniffed the few brown granules in Hanako's palm, then gently stuck out its tongue, rolled them into its mouth one by one, chewed them slowly, its eyes narrowed into slits, and its tail swayed gently in the water.

"Is it good?" Hanako asked, her voice tinged with nervousness.

Hakron opened his eyes, looked at her, nodded vigorously, let out a shout, and then went on a crazy rampage.

The miniature dragon next to her even came over and whispered a reminder: "Mom, there are so many new friends, you...you should be a little more reserved!"

However, Hakron ignored this and just kept showing off.

Reserved? Will being reserved get you a meal?

A scene of joy and harmony unfolded by the water.

The sun was shining brightly, a gentle breeze was blowing, the water shimmered, and the cries of Pokémon rose and fell, mingling with the sounds of the wind and water, like a natural song.

Compared to the gentle scenery by the water, the area around the river is much wilder.

He used his psychic powers to travel through large groups of Pokémon with Pikachu, capturing as many high-level individuals as possible.

It's fortunate he has superpowers, otherwise he and Pikachu would have been thrown around countless times by those wild Pokémon.

After a busy afternoon, all thirty wild areas were finally used up.

Besides Dratini, I also caught Tauros, Dugtrio, Nidorina, Rattata, and Rhyhorn.

Most of them are Tauros and Rhinos.

the reason is simple.

Wild Pokémon above level 30, especially the smaller ones, are particularly good at hiding. Taking advantage of their agility, they hide in various corners, making them difficult to find and even harder to catch.

The larger ones are different; they display the advantage of strength, neither hiding nor dodging, but confronting things head-on. Therefore, the high-level individuals that can be caught are basically these big guys.

Tauros and Rhino together make up more than half of his total catches.

A summary message appears on the system panel.

[Wild Hunt Complete!]

[Obtained 12 Beginner Magic Candies and 18 Intermediate Magic Candies]

[Premium Dragon Scale *2]

[Candy Balance: 16 Basic Magic Candies, 25 Intermediate Magic Candies, 3 Advanced Magic Candies]

Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows when he saw the reward details.

Two top-grade dragon scales?

He originally thought there was only one piece.

Then, he suddenly remembered the moment when he held Hanako's hand by the lake in the mountains and helped her subdue Hakuryu.

Does that count too?

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Tongzi, you're a good buddy, a true friend."

He muttered to himself, thinking that next time the system sends him some weird task, he won't complain anymore.

He continued reading and saw another task reward.

Hanako's emotional storyline mission is complete.

While at the mountain lake, I was so focused on educating Caesar that I forgot to collect this task.

[Emotional storyline quest triggered: Help Hanako catch three of her favorite Pokémon. All have been completed. Individual Pokémon caught: Butterfree (pink), Oddish, and Dragonair!]

[Quest Reward: Sun Stone *2 - An evolution item for special Pokémon, already added to your system inventory!]

[Aura Power upgraded to Intermediate Level - Range increased, more auras can be connected, and initial aura boosts are generated with Pokémon!]

Jiang Chuan's finger paused on the words "Wave Guide Power".

Basic Aura is already quite useful, allowing you to sense the presence and location of nearby Pokémon and communicate with them in a simple way. Now that you've upgraded to intermediate level, its functionality will definitely be even better.

He closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and sensed it.

The sensing range has been significantly expanded.

Previously, he could only vaguely sense Pokémon within a radius of tens of meters, but now the range has doubled, and the accuracy is much higher.

Previously, he could only vaguely sense that "there was something underground" about the ground squirrels that were hidden deep underground. Now, he can accurately perceive the exact location of each ground squirrel, and even sense its orientation and movement.

There's also the "Skill Waveguide Amplification" feature.

Simply put, it means that you can use the waveguide to directly transmit more complex commands to Pokémon without speaking or even using gestures; you can communicate directly through your mind.

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes and a smile played on his lips.

nice one.

He turned to look at Pikachu, who was sunbathing on a rock.

"Pikachu, come try out your new ability."

Pikachu's ears twitched, it jumped off the rock, and trotted over, looking up at him.

Jiang Chuan didn't speak, but silently recited a command in his mind.

Discharge. Over there. Control the power, don't go too far.

Pikachu tilted its head and glanced at Jiang Chuan. It didn't know exactly where its master was referring to, but a strange feeling surged into its mind—not language, but something more direct, like instinct, like intuition.

It knows.

There's a hole under that patch of grass over there.

There is a ground squirrel in the hole.

You should shock it, but not too violently.

Pikachu turned around to face the patch of grass, its electric sac crackled, and then a golden bolt of electricity shot out.

The lightning bolt precisely disappeared into the grass, burrowed into the ground, and then...

"Chirp?"

A short, startled cry came from underground, and a ground squirrel poked its head out of its burrow, its body crackling with tiny sparks of electricity, looking around in a daze.

I didn't see anything.

What's going on?

Why did a lightning bolt suddenly fall from the sky?

The groundhog's little eyes darted around, but it didn't find anything. Then it quietly retreated back into its burrow, probably realizing it hadn't checked the almanac before going out today.

"Beautiful!" Jiang Chuan couldn't help but exclaim.

The fact that a simple electric shock could hit so accurately even without any line of sight is truly amazing; this intermediate-level waveguide power is incredible.

In future battles, he can directly transmit tactical intentions through waveguides without having to shout them out for his opponent to hear. Moreover, it offers higher accuracy, lower latency, and faster reaction time.

This is a qualitative change.

Jiang Chuan was in a great mood and went over to take a look at the groundhog.

It's a Ground-type, so electric shocks don't do much damage to it to begin with. Plus, Pikachu controlled the electricity, so apart from being startled, it wasn't really hurt.

I'm just a little confused.

I was completely bewildered.

Jiang Chuan squatted down and tapped the ground.

"I'm sorry, I was just doing an experiment and it startled you."

The groundhog poked half its head out of its hole, looking at him warily.

Jiang Chuan took a berry out of his bag, placed it at the entrance of the cave, and then led Pikachu toward the camp.

…………

Back near the camp, Jiang Chuan could see wisps of smoke rising from the water's edge in the distance.

Hanako was already busy at work, and a fragrance wafted over on the wind, mixed with the scent of water plants and soil.

Xiaoxia squatted by the water, surrounded by a circle of Water-type Pokémon. She was feeding them one by one, chattering away as she did so.

"Eat more sea scorpion, look how skinny you are."

"Psyduck, stop stealing Goldfish's food! You'll get sleepy if you eat too much!!"

Psyduck tilted its head, quacked, seemingly not understanding at all, and continued to reach out its beak to snatch it.

Xiaoxia slapped her forehead and gave up.

As Jiang Chuan walked over, the Seadragon was circling in the water, its blue scales shimmering faintly in the light. The Gloomy sat on the bank, shaking its head, its flower buds bobbing back and forth as if keeping time.

Jiang Chuan stroked his chin and pondered for a while.

He opened his system inventory.

Two pieces of top-grade dragon scales.

Two sun stones.

If you were to sell these two items, the price wouldn't be low.

Top-grade dragon scales are rare to begin with, and their unique color makes them easy to sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars if a discerning buyer finds them.

Sunstones are also a valuable commodity, a key item for the evolution of many Grass-type Pokémon, and are always in short supply on the market.

But he doesn't lack money now.

With a net worth of several million, that's enough to live on, at least until the Quartz Conference ends.

and……

Jiang Chuan glanced at Xiaoxia by the water, then at Huazi who was cooking.

He had close relationships with both women.

Xiaoxia, needless to say, has followed me all the way from Hualan Dojo to now. She may seem carefree, but she's always thinking of herself.

Hanako is even more so; she is gentle and considerate, and always thinks of him first.

He should develop himself, and he shouldn't neglect his woman either.

We happened to have extra of these two items, which Hanako and Misty's Pokémon could use.

Jiang Chuan took the item out of his system inventory and headed towards the camp.

Hanako was the first to see him.

"You're back?" Hanako looked up, a gentle smile on her face. A few beads of sweat glistened on her forehead in the firelight. "It'll be ready in a bit, Egawa. I made your favorite flavor today."

As she spoke, she was still stirring the contents of the pot, her tone calm and even, yet it was pleasant to listen to.

Jiang Chuan nodded and walked to the water's edge.

When Xiaoxia saw him, she immediately put down the feed she was holding and skipped over to him.

"Jiangchuan!"

She moved closer to him, and naturally placed her hands on his shoulders, beginning to massage them.

"Are you tired? What did you catch this time?" Xiaoxia asked, leaning closer and blinking curiously as she pressed the buttons.

Jiang Chuan felt the pressure on his shoulder, neither too light nor too heavy. Xiaoxia's fingers were getting better and better at applying pressure to his sore muscles, making him feel so comfortable that he almost groaned.

"It's still the same few species: mostly Tauros and Rhinoceros, and a few Dugtrios and Nidorina."

"Oh~" Xiaoxia nodded, pressed a few more times, then suddenly leaned close to his ear, lowered her voice, and said with a grin, "It's okay, anyway, I'm your trump card, right?"

Jiang Chuan glanced at her sideways. Xiaoxia's face was right in front of him, her eyes sparkling, and the corners of her mouth upturned with a smug, mischievous smile.

"You seem quite confident."

"Of course," Xiaoxia snorted, increasing the pressure on her hand. "I'm the youngest sister of the Cerulean Gym, an expert in training Water-type Pokémon!"

Jiang Chuan chuckled, but didn't reply. Instead, he turned to look at Hanako.

"Hanako, keep the food warm for a bit, come here for a second."

Hanako looked up at him, then at the nearly finished pot in her hand. She hesitated for a second, then nodded, removed the pot from the heat, set it aside to warm, wiped her hands, and walked over.

"What's wrong?"

"I'll give you both a gift."
